Chapter 4294 Late at night in the sea
Seeing that the messenger was no longer proud, Feng Wu stopped and said, "This is just like that. Since he is a message, he should have the meaning of passing the message. What should he say?"
The messenger looked at the king with a bruised nose and swollen eyes, and then walked to the side of the spiral staircase, but this time he did not walk up the staircase privately.
The messenger bowed and said, "His Majesty the King, your daughter's engagement will be in three days. Since there is an appointment first, you will always need some betrothal gifts!"
Feng Wu said, "Oh, you are here to give the betrothal gift. What good things did you bring!"
As soon as Feng Wu finished speaking, Tianyu immediately looked at Feng Wu, saying that she had nothing to do with her, and the rest was people from this country who were negotiating.
The messenger looked at Feng Wu and then said, "Between, oh no, no, you gave us the betrothal gift!"
Feng Wu was a little unhappy when she heard this. How could the woman give the man a betrothal gift when she got married? Moreover, the wedding banquet was not voluntarily by the princess, and it would be strange if the other party was so arrogant that she could get happiness!
However, although Feng Wu wanted to express her dissatisfaction, she was immediately stopped by Tianyu. Tianyu whispered: "This is their business, and I can't interrupt now."
Feng Wu then looked at Tianyu and looked around. She saw that everyone was silent and staring at the messenger. Feng Wu also felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Sure enough, the messenger added: "Sorry, Your Majesty the King, maybe you may feel strange, but this woman gives the betrothal gift is the rule of our country. I am familiar with the local customs, and I don't know what the king has to say?"
Perhaps because it was originally a political wedding banquet, the king did not get angry at that time, but asked, "Is there anything there to say about this betrothal gift?"
Sure enough, the messenger was waiting for this sentence. The messenger said, "Your country has four districts of streets. Our king wants to take away a betrothal gift for your daughter. You see, there is no objection!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was sensational!
You should know that this is no longer a matter of betrothal gifts or not, it has completely turned into a land ceasing agreement!
The king couldn't sit still, and stood up and said, "Your country is a little too big!"
The messenger said happily: "No, Your Majesty the King, if the marriage is successful, then we will be a family, whose land is different. Besides, we have signed a non-aggression treaty to keep peace. Even if you don't think about your land, at least for the people of your country!"
I can't understand this. The implication is that if I don't agree to the treaty, the marriage will not be completed. If the marriage fails, the two countries may break up and a military war will occur.
Then the king was so angry that his face turned red, and Tatsuo almost immediately took action. Finally, the king raised his hand and said, "This is not a joke, let me think about it more!"
At this moment, some ministers immediately persuaded: "King, you cannot agree. This is clearly a division between our country!"
The king closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Emister, please rest first, and I will give you a clear answer after I have thought about it."
Then the messenger lowered his head and said, "Then I will wait for the good news."
After the messenger finished speaking, he withdrew from the palace. Then the soldiers' eyes of the messenger changed, and they wanted to swallow the messenger alive!
Hearing this, Feng Wu could not hold back anymore, and suddenly jumped to the front of the hall and shouted: "King, don't be confused. The other party's ambition is obviously not just that. If you agree, you might be even more excessive in the future. You want a piece of land today, and you may want a country tomorrow!"
Although Feng Wu's appearance was a bit abrupt, no one cared about Feng Wu at this moment. Instead, he felt that Feng Wu was talking without any problem. Standing at Feng Wu's end, one of the older ministers even knelt down and said, "The king thought, this human girl said right, sooner or later, the other party will gain a better position!"
The king felt uncomfortable, and his face looked very ugly at the moment, but he seemed to have some thoughts in his heart. Then he said, "Guest, you can rest first, I'm sorry to let you see ugly."
Then the king did not say anything more, but prepared a good room for Feng Wu and the others, allowing Da Ye to take Feng Wu into his resting place.
Although the room prepared was very beautiful, it was a pity that Feng Wu was not in the mood to enjoy it. When Da Ye took Feng Wu and Tianyu to the room, before Da Ye could leave, Feng Wu immediately grabbed Da Ye and asked, "Why is the king so wronged? The other party is already in a hurry everywhere!"
Nadaye sighed and said, "It's because of the problem of the keel barrier!"
Feng Wu was stunned. This had something to do with the dragon bone again. She said immediately: "Can you tell me the whole story?"
Then Tano talked about the relationship between the two countries.
The underwater city has troops far above the Mermaid Kingdom. Both financial and human resources can be said to be twice as powerful as the Mermaid Kingdom. Moreover, the city lord of the Underwater City has always been eyeing the Mermaid Kingdom and has not been able to annex the Mermaid Kingdom long ago. The reason why he has not done this for a long time is that there is a dragon bone in the Mermaid Kingdom.
The dragon bone is a turtle shell, built in the palace of the Mermaid Kingdom. The shell can release energy. This energy creates a barrier on the territory of the Mermaid Kingdom, which can withstand the attack of the underwater city.
However, this dragon bone turtle shell is not only able to resist the enemy if it is placed in the country, but requires huge energy support. All of this energy comes from the power of the mermaid.
There is a kind of qi in the body of this mermaid and humans that can support the defense of the turtle shell, but this qi is limited. Now this qi is getting less and less. It is expected that the protection of the turtle shell will lose its effect within half a year. By that time, the people in the Underwater City will definitely raise troops to attack the mermaid country, and then it can be said that they will have no power to turn the world back.
But for some reason, the Underwater City learned the news, so they targeted this point and came up to propose marriage.
This action was moved to the king. Once an alliance was formed, there was no need to attack for a long time. Unfortunately, today I realized that this marriage was simply fake. The real purpose was to sign the contract at the wedding. The purpose was to use the engagement as an excuse, and then an enemy would obtain the land of the Mermaid Kingdom without spending a soldier.
But in this way, the king had no choice. If the other party attacked in, the people were the most unlucky, and the other party was likely to massacre the city. If they agreed to get married, they would lose their own land. The problem now is that the king would make a decision between the people and their own people!
