Prince Kevin watched the two of them play treasure on the side, although it was not the first time, but he still found it particularly interesting. Seeing Alice's deflated appearance, she couldn't hold back for a while and laughed.

Hearing Prince Kevin's laughter, Alice was even more embarrassed, but because of Kevin's status as a prince, she didn't dare to blame him, so she had to sprinkle all her anger on Li Yi. A pair of beautiful eyes suddenly burned into a small flame, and he tried to attack Li Yi with his eyes.

Li Yi naturally ignored all this as usual, and just crossed his arms and watched the envoys gradually walk towards the main hall.

After entering the palace, the envoys first sang the praises of the virtues of King Tianlan, and then began to report on the situation of the mineral veins in Wu'an.

On the top of the main hall, King Tianlan sat firmly on the imperial chair, listening to the envoy's report expressionlessly.

This was also the first time Li Yi saw the king of Tianlan, and he saw that the king was an old man with gray hair. Although he is already old, it may be because of good maintenance, his skin is still as smooth as a young man. Sitting on the top of the main hall, he is as stable as Mount Tai, even when his face is expressionless, he is not angry and arrogant. Li Yi guessed, maybe this is the momentum of the superior.

When Margaret had finished her report, the king nodded slowly, but did not speak. Although such a large area of magic crystal veins was a huge wealth, Li Yi couldn't see any expression of joy in his expression, and he didn't look shocked at all.

Li Yi watched from below and whispered to Kevin: "Second prince, the king doesn't seem to have a good temper." ”

"Hehe, my father and the emperor are very approachable when they are usually in other families. It's just that in the face of the envoys of the vassal countries, he must always have the demeanor of the king of a country. In this way, psychologically, it can also put pressure on the country's envoys, so they dare not be presumptuous. Prince Kevin said with a smile. In fact, his old man was really happy when he heard the news of Wu Anguo's magic crystal mine, after all, this vein alone can increase the strength of a legion by a lot. ”

Li Yi nodded slowly after hearing this, thinking that being an emperor was really boring, obviously happy to death, and he had to pretend to be absent-minded.

After the report was over, the people in the hall found their seats and began the feast.

The banquet was staggered, the Imperial officers and visiting envoys were chatting happily, and the king was smiling at the banquet.

It's just that after three rounds of drinking, one of the people in Wu Anguo's mission slowly stood up.

Li Yi stared at it and found that the person standing up was the fairy-like existence Margaret. I saw her holding a wine glass, walked forward with a light smile, and said: "Concubine I wish the king a happy treasure, I wish the Tianlan Empire prosperity, and the king a long life." ”

King Tianlan also smiled and raised a glass in response, giving Margaret enough face.

After drinking, Margaret did not walk back to her seat, but still stood where she was, smiling at the king. Everyone was quite puzzled by her behavior, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was bought in this goblin gourd.

Just when everyone was puzzled, King Tianlan unexpectedly spoke first: "Do you have anything else to do, you might as well talk about it." ”

Margaret smiled charmingly when she heard this, and then made a big salute, and then said: "We have always been very eager for the military force of the empire, and there are not only millions of lions in the empire, but also many talented and fierce generals. Although my Wu Anguo is weak, there are a few young men who are quite capable of getting on the stage, and they have rarely encountered opponents among the younger generation of our country. Therefore, they wanted to take the opportunity of the court to have a discussion with some young generals of the empire. ”

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone couldn't figure out what Wu Anguo's move meant for a while. Prince Kevin was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled suddenly with realization.

Li Yi also didn't understand this, and didn't know why the envoy group would openly challenge on such a day. However, after seeing Prince Kevin's smile, Li Yi couldn't help but ask, "Second Prince, what are they trying to do here." ”

"Hehe, what else can I do for it, just seek self-preservation."

"What do you say?"

"According to common sense, if a vein is found in a subject country, thirty percent of the profit should belong to them. But the discovery of this magic crystal mine this time is too huge. Even if it's only 30%, it's enough to double their national strength.

"The subject countries themselves are not really our land, they just pay a certain amount of offerings every year to seek our protection. This time the magic crystal mine, thirty percent of the profits are already very attractive, and they are afraid that our Tianlan Kingdom will even want to give them thirty percent. If we ignore our faith and righteousness, go straight down with the army, and destroy their Wu'an country, these thirty percent of the profits will naturally belong to us. Their move is nothing more than to prove that they Wu Anguo is not a soft persimmon, and it may take some effort to take them down, and the gains may outweigh the losses. ”

After listening to Kevin's explanation, Li Yi somewhat understood why the envoys dared to make such a request. However, Li Yi immediately asked again: "Even if they win, what can they do, how can the empire be tied up because of a young general." ”

"It's just a demonstration first, in fact, I don't think they have a 100% chance of winning, they just want to prove that they also have generals in Wu'an who can compete with the empire. After all, it's for their own country, and they have to try it no matter whether they can achieve their goals or not. ”

"After you say this, I admire them a little, fighting for the motherland. Hehe, I just don't know how strong they can be. ”

"Won't you know when you look at it, how about it, do you have an idea to make a move? After all, the other party named a duel between young generals, and many fierce generals in the empire could not bully the small with the big. Kevin saw that Li Yi was a little moved, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Hehe, it's better to avoid it, the previous injury was not good, I'm ready to cultivate for a while. Besides, there are not necessarily no young masters in the empire who can compete with them. Li Yi lightly rejected Kevin's invitation, he didn't want to be a simple tool for fighting.

Prince Kevin glanced at Li Yi thoughtfully, and then set his eyes on Margaret.

Margaret was still waiting for King Tianlan's decision, and was standing there respectfully at this time.

After a long time, King Tianlan spoke: "Very good, young people always need to hone more among themselves." I don't know how you're going to compete, and how many young masters you've brought with you. ”

"It's a lot to talk about, it's just that we have two twin brothers in Wu Anguo, and the two have practiced swordsmanship together since childhood, and they have achieved a little success after visiting famous teachers, so I want to take this opportunity to learn from the good hands of the empire, and also confirm the results of my practice." Margaret said.

"Then will the two of them go their separate ways, or are they going to fight together?"

"Their exercises complement each other and are used to cooperating, so I want the empire to find two generals to fight at the same time."

"Okay, everything will be done according to your ideas, can I take a look at the two little strong men now."

"Of course, that's their honor, Your Majesty, wait a minute." After Margaret finished speaking, she turned around and waved, and two people stood up from the seats of the mission at the same time.

After seeing the two of them clearly, Alice burst out laughing. said to Li Yi in a low voice: "It's not strange that a person is ugly, it's not strange that even a person is ugly, it's rare that these two people are so ugly, and they are so ugly, it's really the best." ”

Li Yi also laughed when he heard this, and then looked the two brothers up and down.

After the two of them met with King Tianlan, the king ordered them to wait directly for the competition at His Royal Highness.

Then the two of them didn't say much, bowed respectfully, and then turned to look at everyone present. He was not afraid of upsetting the king, so he said directly: "Our brothers have heard that the empire has many talents, and they came here to ask for advice, and I don't know who dares to come to fight. ”

"It's interesting, I didn't expect people to look very good, but their personalities are arrogant enough." Li Yi looked at the two extremely ugly brothers and said with a smile.

"Brother Li, why can't I figure out their strength." In the face of Li Yi's relaxation, Prince Kevin was a little relaxed and asked nervously.

"Both of them are the strength of the triple peak."

"Triple pinnacle? How is it possible, how old are they. Hearing Li Yi's words, Prince Kevin couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

The two ugly brothers in front of him definitely didn't look more than thirty years old, maybe even twenty-five or sixteen years old. And to have such strength at such an age, or two brothers, such a thing really surprised Prince Kevin.

In fact, Li Yi was also slightly shocked, he didn't expect that such a good player could be cultivated in a small border country. You must know that even in the Lily of the Valley Academy, it is impossible to find two triple peaks at the same time. That Gary, who had reached the Triple High Order at the age of only twenty-five, was already the pride of heaven in the academy.

"Why are the second princes so panicked, they definitely look a few years older than Li Yi. But Li Yi is already a quadruple strength now, and it is not something they can't say that they can reach the triple peak. Seeing the appearance of the second prince, Alice said slowly beside her.

"Hehe, Miss Alice is right, there's an even weirder guy sitting next to me. It's just that I couldn't accept it for a while just now, in my impression, all talents should come from our Tianlan Empire. Seeing that Wu Anguo could also have such young talents, he couldn't help but be curious. Prince Kevin said with a sneer.

"The second prince has another worry, I'm worried that we won't be able to find a young general in our empire who has the ability to resist their brother. The competition between the empire and the small country, but the result is lost, and it is really not very good to spread the word. Li Yi drank a glass of wine and said leisurely on the side.

"What Brother Li said is very true, I am worried about this matter. At the beginning, I didn't expect Wu Anguo's people to be so strong, but now that I look at it, I'm really afraid that no one in the younger generation of the empire can compete with them. The face of the empire is the most important, and they cannot be allowed to show off their power above the main hall. Kevin said fiercely, and the eyes of the two ugly brothers began to become cold.

"The second prince can rest assured, strength is one thing, experience is another, and the triple intermediate level may not have the possibility of competing with the peak strength. The biggest problem at hand is not their strength, but something else. ”

"So what's the most important thing to worry about?" Hearing what Li Yi said, Prince Kevin couldn't help but ask.

"The point is that Margaret proposed at the beginning that our empire should send two masters to fight them at the same time. It can be seen that the two brothers must be good at cooperating, and it is difficult to find two masters who are also proficient in cooperating at the same time. ”

Hearing this, Prince Kevin also nodded in agreement and fell into deep thought. After a while, Prince Kevin said slowly: "If you talk about cooperation, it is not without it in the empire. Even among Kara's generals, there are three skillfully coordinated swordsmen, but they are over thirty years old and can't play. ”

Hearing Prince Kevin's narration, Li Yi's face twitched unconsciously. Thinking about it, the three swordsmen mentioned by Prince Kevin must be the ones who ambushed him that night, not to mention the fact that they acted for the tiger, but in terms of strength, Li Yi also had to admire them.

"Then who else can I send, hey, I accidentally let them take advantage of the loophole, and now it's too late to regret it. Carol? Carol may be able to fight hard, but who can match him. Prince Kevin had already begun to calculate what to do at this time, talking to himself, spit out his name from time to time, and then shook his head as if he was not satisfied.

Li Yi'an sat aside, ignoring Prince Kevin's anxiety, just drinking himself and laughing to see how the empire coped.

Just when Kevin was anxiously thinking about the strategy, there were already two people in the empire who came out of the crowd and went to the main hall to coldly confront the ugly brothers.

"Second prince, don't calculate, someone has already taken over their invitation." Seeing that Prince Kevin was still immersed in his calculations, Li Yi reminded him.

"Ah, who's who, I'll see." Prince Kevin hurriedly looked up at the bottom of the main hall.

"It's Carol, and Bobby. Alas, in my mind, they were already the best choice. It's just that I don't know what the outcome will be, after all, Carol is a triple high-level, and Bobby is only a middle-level strength. Looking at the two people on the field, Prince Kevin muttered.

"Do the two princes feel that the two of them will be good at cooperating, if they fight in a hurry, they will not be proportional in terms of strength alone."

"They had a good relationship when they were in the Central Army, and I think they should have had some experience of joining forces against the enemy." Prince Kevin also said uncertainly.

"Second prince, forgive me for asking a question. During my time in the Central Army, I found that there didn't seem to be many real martial arts masters in the army. Some of the regimental commander-level figures in their thirties are even only triple beginner-level strength, why is this, could it be that the masters are all in the troops stationed at the border? ”

Hearing Li Yi's question, Prince Kevin couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then he opened his mouth and explained to Li Yi: "Brother Li doesn't know something, in the army, you don't necessarily have a high strength to become a senior officer. Some people can be generals of the army without the strength of chickens, while some powerful people may only be a regimental commander for the rest of their lives. You must know that tens of thousands of people are fighting on the battlefield, and individual strength cannot change the outcome of a war, so there is indeed a lack of real martial arts masters in the army. Also, it's not that the powerful like to join the army. The stronger they are, the more they like to be free, after all, they don't like to be dominated. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Yi thinks about it, the higher the strength, the more arrogant he will be, how can he be willing to be used as a war machine by the country.

Li Yi didn't talk much with Prince Kevin anymore, and seeing that the four people on the field were already in place, Li Yi was also ready to concentrate on watching a dragon fight. His ear power is also good, and even if he sits on the top of the main hall, he can hear the sound of the four people talking on the field.
