The girls' eyes were focused on the last teacup.
In the Land of Lifire.
Miss Zhao was one thing, but Courrier and Zhang Yinluo were both deeply connected to the Land of Lifire. They both knew what the sudden appearance of the Blazing Angel meant.
Last night in Hucheng, the Blazing Angel of unknown model that had descended from the sky had caused Courrier, who had always been calm and collected, to lose his composure. The shock and astonishment that Mao Mei received was equal to that of Yinluo.
Zhang Yinluo's tone was also full of disbelief. Worry and suspicion flashed in her eyes. She glanced at Courrier and asked, "A Blazing Angel that we've never seen before … Which faction does it belong to?"
Courrier said coldly, "How would I know … You know the significance of the Blazing Angel to the Theocracy Country without me telling you.
Every Blazing Angel is the symbol of the power of the Land of Lifire and the pride of the Order of Flames. You know what it means to have one suddenly appear. The schemes and exchanges involved are unimaginable. It's almost like the Seven Luminaries Sword of the Houtu Empire has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "
Sun Lang's expression changed. "Huh?"
He and Zhao Feihuang looked at each other. Their expressions changed at the same time, and they said at the same time, "Tensei Province!"
Zhang Yinluo frowned and said, "Tensei Province again?"
"It definitely has something to do with Tensei Province."
Sun Lang said decisively, "At the very least, it works for Tensei Province. The fact that it saved the Wang family and tricked Qi Guanyan is proof of that.
Besides, the pilot of this Blazing Angel probably knows martial arts. It controls the Blazing Angel Armor with the combat awareness of the warriors of the Land of Lifire, so that the Blazing Angel Armor can be used more efficiently and efficiently … "
Zhang Yinluo was shocked. Then she said in shock, "That's impossible!
How can an eastern warrior be qualified to pilot a Blazing Angel?
Even I don't have one! "
Courrier said indifferently, "You feel very regretful, very pitiful, and very unwilling?"
Zhang Yinluo blushed and retorted loudly, "No way!
I don't care about Blazing Angels!
If you don't want to give it to me, so be it!
Hmph! "
… It seemed that she must have been so indignant that she even bit her blanket and cried in her dreams.
Sun Lang gave Yinluo a thumbs up and laughed heartily. "Come, make me a facial cleanser, and I'll help you snatch that Blazing Angel. Even a Double Peak Piercing Ear is fine."
Zhang Yinluo's expression changed at first, then he roared, "Don't even think about it!"
Sun Lang smiled. You're so stubborn. When the time comes, I'll strip that Blazing Angel Armor and show it off in front of you every two or three days. I'll force you to sign countless unequal treaties that humiliate your country.
Thinking of this, he decided to turn it into a seller's market first before bullying this girl. Thus, he stopped pestering her and continued, "There are some things that can be done by coaxing Qi Guanyan, but the current situation isn't so good. Our potential enemies, besides Tensei Province, are also the Lifire Nation."
That's right, not to mention the Blazing Angel that appeared out of nowhere, now that both Death Messenger and Lone Ranger were on Sun Lang's side, if nothing unexpected happened, at least one of the Blazing Angels would be surnamed Sun forever.
— — Considering the significance of the Blazing Angel Armor in the Lifire Nation, this kind of action was almost equivalent to someone robbing one of Putin's strategic nuclear submarines of the God of the North Wind out of thin air … and it was the kind that was full of nuclear warheads.
Even if Courrier's Death Messenger theoretically belonged to the Episcopal Church, and robbing it was equivalent to weakening the enemy forces. Moreover, they could use this opportunity to launch an attack, and there were many benefits. However, the Divine Emperor probably wouldn't tolerate the Blazing Angel falling into the hands of others. After all, he was still able to distinguish between internal and external conflicts.
Moreover, there was also the matter of that mysterious Blazing Angel … Just which side did it belong to?
Courrier's brows were tightly knitted. Tapping his slender fingers on the table, he muttered, "In theory, Tensei Province and the Episcopal Church have an alliance, and this Blazing Angel should be a secret weapon that the Episcopal Church and the Tensei Province colluded to privately produce. However, from Qi Guanyan's performance, it seems that the Tensei Province has already made preparations to destroy the alliance, and that Blazing Angel is still working for the Tensei Province. That's a bit strange …"
She was somewhat confused by the situation. The interior of the Lihuo Kingdom wasn't a monolithic block. The ambitious Divine Emperor was trying to reform, and the powerful Episcopal Church was strong and conservative. The forces of the two sides were tangled and complicated, and there were also various neutral people and fence-sitters in between. Such a chaotic situation gave Courrier a bit of a headache — — there were too many things worth associating from this Blazing Angel.
However, Sun Lang didn't have such concerns. He didn't quite understand how chaotic the Lihuo Kingdom's circle was. Therefore, as a bystander, and as one of the top military experts in the world, he saw through the essence of the matter at a glance. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this matter doesn't need to be so troublesome."
Courrier said with interest, "Then what should we do?"
Sun Lang pointed at Sister Mao and said, "First of all, you used to be a henchman of the Episcopal Church, and the Divine Emperor's political enemy. Now that you've joined me, your primary enemy has changed from the Divine Emperor to the Episcopal Church, which prevents his revenge, right?"
Sister Mao didn't feel the slightest shame of being a traitor and nodded happily.
Sun Lang then pointed at Zhang Yinluo and said, "I don't know much about Yinluo's situation in the Lihuo Kingdom, but it seems that she's also a loyalist, right?
And her relationship with the Episcopal Church isn't very good either. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yinluo said indignantly, "It's not that it's not very good, it's ten!
Divided!
No!
Good!
A bunch of pedantic and annoying old men, just because I'm a citizen of the Empire, they don't like me. "
"Calm down, calm down. It's common knowledge that the northerners don't like the Empire. Let's not talk about the Swedes who killed Shenluo in the Thirty Years War, but look, most of the Nords don't like the Empire either."
Sun Lang said comforting words that no one could understand, and then he came to a conclusion, "Look, Yinluo has a lot of face with the theocratic nobles in the Lihuo Kingdom, but her reputation with the conservative faction isn't that high. In other words, with her relationship, we're naturally closer to the Divine Emperor."
Courrier seemed to understand, and his expression changed slightly, "You mean …"
Sun Lang laughed, "Besides, there's also Long Wande's relationship.
That kid is upright and naive, and he's easy to manipulate, so he'll definitely be liked by the Divine Emperor … "
He came to a conclusion, "With all these reasons, it's easier for us to become friends with the Divine Emperor. The Episcopal Church is conservative and has a natural rejection of outsiders, and they're also an ally of the Tensei Province, so we'll have to work with the Divine Emperor to beat up the Tensei Province and the Episcopal Church together!"
Courrier's eyes lit up, as if the clouds had cleared, but he was still worried, "But as I said, the Tensei Province seems to be ready to fall out with the Episcopal Church. If that Blazing Angel isn't a cooperation between the Episcopal Church and the Tensei Province, but …"
"You're saying that the Tensei Province might secretly form an alliance with the Divine Emperor to hedge against the risks?"
Sun Lang laughed carelessly, "Well … it's not very likely, because the interests of the two sides are obviously in conflict. Even if they're forced to form an alliance, there are too many places that can be destroyed. Even if there's such a thing, I can easily ruin it for him."
He pondered for a moment, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "Politics, perhaps yesterday's enemy will become today's friend. The so-called doctrine is nothing more than a business deal to see who offers the highest price and is more agreeable to one's heart.
What the Divine Emperor wants, and what he's afraid of … I know better than that woman, and I know better than anyone else in the world. "
He patted the table and announced the result of the discussion, "In short, the Raging Flames Divine Power Nation is nothing to worry about for the time being. There'll always be a chance to make friends with the Divine Emperor."
Sun Lang threw one of the teacups on the table aside, looked at the other teacup and two peanuts, and narrowed his eyes, "Tensei Province is far away from the capital, so it's nothing to worry about. That woman knows that if we attack, we'll die no matter how many people come, so she'll definitely play tricks …"
He reached out and pressed the two peanuts, and said in a playful tone, "This is her chess piece to win a big one with a small one. Maybe there's another one waiting in ambush. I've thought about it, and the best way to solve the current deadlock is to kill Qi Guanyan and push the blame to me. It'll be even better if I can kill a Blazing Angel while I'm at it."
Sun Lang's expression was calm, and he said indifferently, "If all these things are done, then I'll immediately become the culprit who killed the Zhenzhou General and caused the conflict in Lihuo. All my military and political achievements in the past will be lost, and I'll become the sinner who started the war. In terms of morality, I won't be able to stand on my side, and I'll be in an extremely passive situation."
Zhao Feihuang said thoughtfully, "But now, General Qi has joined us, and both Blazing Angels are with us. With Sun Lang's protection and the cooperation of so many experts, even if Tensei Province wants to succeed, it'll be very difficult …"
Sun Lang smiled proudly, and then he proudly raised his eyebrows at Courrier, "That's because the quick-witted and resourceful Empress Tensei always makes a mistake. She didn't expect that I would have such a tyrannical aura after disappearing for two years!
She even easily made Courrier, who should've never been able to be instigated, under her … under her command. That's why there's such a huge flaw in the plan, hmph hmph hmph … "
Zhang Yinluo pouted unhappily, "Rogue …"
Courrier smiled at Sun Lang, and then said, "Don't let your guard down. That Empress Tensei is a very difficult person to deal with. Although she made a mistake in her calculations, she definitely has a very powerful backup plan."
Sun Lang nodded thoughtfully. Then, he frowned and said, "That's what I don't understand as well … I don't know where else she could have tampered with the plan. Her plan seems ingenious, but there are some parts that can't stand up to scrutiny. It doesn't seem like an oversight, but a deliberate one …"
He thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't make heads or tails of it. He shook his head and said, "Let's deal with it as it comes. So, let's leave it at that for now.
The key point now isn't the teacup, but the two peanuts. As long as we help Qi Guanyan find his wife, then fish out that Blazing Angel and beat it down, the initiative will be ours. "
The young girls naturally didn't have any objections.
After the harem meeting was over, it was time to meet with Old Hu and the others. They discussed for a while and only decided to let Sun Lang and Courrier go. Yinluo and Young Lady Zhao wouldn't participate.
Yinluo didn't want to participate, most likely because he was afraid of trouble and thought that his brain couldn't keep up. But Young Lady Zhao didn't want to go, so her intentions were deeper.
— After all, this was Marquis Jingan's fu, and Young Lady Zhao was the master here. Moreover, after experiencing so many things, the Marquis Jingan's fu that had been liberated from the evil clutches of Tensei Province was undoubtedly a member of the united front. Not showing up in this kind of important meeting where they were discussing how to deal with Tensei Province was basically telling Sun Lang that the fu had already decided. You should preside over the meeting as the master.
It could only be said that this kind of sneaky method of taking advantage of others was too slippery, so much so that Yinluo was completely unaware.
Sun Lang and Courrier discussed some internal matters of the Lihuo Kingdom. Under Xu Qingluan's lead, they arrived at the meeting hall where Hu Shouxin and the others were at.
The four men over there had already taken their seats.
They were respectively.
Hu Shouxin, a retired local soldier who was mysteriously dealt with by Tensei Province.
And Qi Guanyan, the current commander of Mingzhou's military district who realized that he would be dealt with by Tensei Province but never expected that he would be dealt with like this.
And Long Wande, the Lihuo Guard who was dealt with by both his own country and Tensei Province.
Finally, Lu Shouyan, the Mingzhou's governor who was played by everyone but relied on his intelligence to deduce that he would soon be dealt with, so he took the initiative to defect.
And there was also an intricate and complicated relationship between them. For example, Hu Shouxin used to think that Qi Guanyan was a licentious b * tch, Long Wande was once dealt with by Qi Guanyan, and Lu Shouyan was played by both Qi Guanyan and Hu Shouxin. All of them had a very bad impression of Qi Guanyan.
And now …
All the men present felt that Qi Guanyan didn't have it easy …
— — F * ck, bro, ten thousand arrows pierced through f * ck.
And the addition of Sun Lang and Courrier immediately added fresh mud and rocks to this chaotic small circle of four people. At least Courrier, Qi Guanyan, and Long Wande had a friendship that was akin to the Three Kingdoms War. As for Sun Lang, it was needless to say — — he was simply the source of all evil.
After Long Wande and Lu Shouyan made space for the two of them, Sun Lang and Mao Mei sat down casually. The former marshal looked around and felt very proud. In terms of scale, the people present were naturally not as talented and righteous as the people under his command in the past. But there was always a beginning.
He said meaningfully, "You should remember this day. Remember this house. It might become the most terrifying building in the history of mankind … It is like the most powerful ship in the history of mankind. It is not a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier or a strategic nuclear submarine, but a small cruise ship in the South Lake of Jiaxing."
These words were somewhat incomprehensible but still impressive.
But except for Lu Shouyan, who had just joined, the others didn't buy Sun Lang's words. Hu Shouxin rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Now, what are you going to do?"
