Chapter 175: Trust

Cao Ke said with a solemn expression: "The current Sea Clan, internal and external troubles, can be said to have reached the most critical time, and it is precisely because of the most critical time that things will change unexpectedly!"
"Just like the so-called brothers of the big chief, who share life and death, when they fight the country, they are born and die together, they fight on the battlefield, and when they sit on the country, they each tear the soil and seal the marquis, and they dominate one side, there is nothing wrong with this, after all, it is logical to go all the way.

However, once the things that they have already obtained are about to be lost, then almost all people will have their own ideas and plans...... Anyway, no matter what means are used, the fundamental purpose is to protect their own vested interests!"
"Those who are desperately defending are the current main battle faction, and when they are brought to the Sea Clan, I think that the Great Chieftain and the Sea Maiden, you should all be classified as such. Those who betrayed and surrendered should be the Lord and the faction, they did not want to start a war with the Sunset Kingdom, which was far more powerful than themselves, and advocated that peace was precious, and even gave up some of their interests to strive to sit at the negotiating table with the Sunset Kingdom...... Although I don't know who is this lord and faction among you sea clans, I think that this lord and faction will definitely exist!"
When Cao Ke said this, the Great Chief and the Dragon Maiden couldn't help but glance at each other, and their faces showed an expression of approval.
Cao Ke smiled slightly and continued: "Actually, whether it is the main battle or the main peace, it is still understandable, after all, everyone has a different way of handling things, and the angle of considering the problem is also different. ā
"However, in addition to these two kinds of people, there is another kind of people, this kind of people are the most dangerous existence for the current Sea Clan, this kind of person is also easier to be rebelled by the enemy, used by the enemy, or simply do it yourself, directly help the enemy against their own people!"
"This kind of person is those who have ambition to be the boss when they are fighting the country, they get power and less territory when they are idle when they are sitting on the country, and they try their best to climb up during the war!"
"This kind of person does not have any concept of racial honor or national honor, and some of them are just selfish ideas and shady means!"
Cao Ke said this, paused, picked up the cup of tea made by the dragon girl, took a sip gently, and then did not rush to continue, but tilted his head and watched the reaction of the big chief.
Seeing this, the big chief laughed: "Young Master Ke's words are quite thorough in analyzing human nature, but what is the connection between these and the issue of 'you are more credible'?"
Cao Ke slowly put the teacup on the table on the side, and said in a steady tone: "The main battle faction is very easy to explain, just like you, the Great Chief, you will never let the Sunset Kingdom invade the territory of your Sea Clan, even if you fight until there is only one soldier left, you will fight to the end, and people like you are more loyal, I can't compare with an outsider, and there is no need for that." ā
"As for the Lord and the faction, he is timid and fearful, lacks decisiveness, although he does not dare to stand on the opposite side of national interests, but he can't help but combine his own interests with the rise and fall of the country to consider together, such a person, you say that he is disloyal, he does not dare to do anything out of the ordinary, you say that he is loyal, but he is willing to give up part of the national interests to save himself...... Compared to this lord and faction, my determination to fight against the Sunset Kingdom is even more resolute! Not to mention the kind of people who only think about their own selfishness!"
"Oh?" the Great Chief asked with great interest, "Why is this?" After all, Young Master Ke, you are just reinforcements invited by my Sea Clan, it is moral to help us, and it is reasonable not to help us, how can you have a more resolute will to fight than the Lord and the faction?"
Cao Ke replied: "First of all, one of the most important purposes of my visit to the Sea Clan this time is to find my eldest brother and Prince Jingyun...... I don't know who sent this army to attack them, but I think it has nothing to do with you Sea Clan!"
"Because the fundamental purpose of my eldest brother and Prince Jingyun's trip is to help your Sea Clan avoid the invasion of the Sunset Kingdom, if you Sea Clan send people to attack them, then your Sea Clan's brains will either stay at the beach for a long time and enter the water, or you are born stupid, and you can't tell what is beneficial to you!"
Cao Ke's words were not polite at all, the dragon girl was shocked after hearing this, and secretly glanced at the big chief sitting in the first place, and found that the big chief did not show the slightest displeasure because of this, the little girl secretly let out a long breath, and glanced at Cao Kelian, which meant that it was like telling Cao Ke not to speak without concealment, and to pay attention to the impact.
Cao Ke continued as if he hadn't seen the dragon girl's reminder at all: "Since I think that my eldest brother's disappearance has nothing to do with the Sea Clan, then, the only one who can attack them in your Sea Clan's territory is the Sunset Kingdom that is at war with you, I can't go and ask the culprit to help me find my eldest brother and Prince Jingyun, right?"
"Secondly, I have no vested interests among you Sea Clan. This may seem insignificant, but it's important. Without the entanglement of interests, I will be able to analyze the situation more objectively and command the action more rationally, which is something that all of you people in the Sea Clan, including your Great Chief, cannot really achieve!"
"The above two reasons can fully state my position, the first reason is my principle, the second reason is my advantage, no matter which aspect, I can be properly divided into your main battle faction camp, right?"
"Of course, there is one last reason...... Perhaps, this reason sounds a little ...... Funny...... But I think that this last reason is the most important reason that completely pushed me to the opposite side of the Sunset Kingdom, and that is my love for your daughter, the sea lady of the Sea Clan, and the dragon!"
"That's right! I like Long'er, I love Long'er! I am willing to go to heaven and earth for her, I am willing to go to the sea of fire and sword mountains for her! If anyone dares to bully the woman in my heart, I Cao Ke swears, I will definitely let him have no return and bury his bones in the sea!"
The dragon girl on the side said nothing that she didn't expect that Cao Ke would say such a straightforward words of love in front of herself and her father, and her face was suddenly full of crimson, and she quickly pulled Cao Ke's hand and whispered: "Cao Ke! What are you talking about......?" I ......"
Looking at the dragon girl who wanted to speak and stopped, Cao Ke smiled slightly: "Long'er, I didn't talk nonsense! Every word I said came from my heart, I really love you so much, I don't want you to suffer a little grievance!"
"Cao Ke......" The expression on the dragon girl's face was a little happy, a little hesitant, a little helpless, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
The Great Chief laughed for a long time: "Young Master Ke, I'm really not mistaken, you are really a lover! You said that your last reason is a bit funny, but in my opinion, it is exactly the opposite! Your last reason is the direct reason that finally made me believe you!"
When the dragon girl heard the words of the Great Chief, she swept away the complicated feelings she had before, and said happily: "In this way, Lord Father finally believes that Cao Ke can be trusted?"
The Great Chief nodded affirmatively, and said with some teasingness: "Even if I don't believe in Young Master Ke, I have to believe in the charm of my own daughter! Young Master Ke dares to say his love for Xiao Jiu in front of me, so sincere, what else can I hesitate?"
"Father!" the dragon girl's pretty face turned even redder: "How can you be like Cao Ke, so unconcerned?
As she spoke, the dragon girl hurriedly stood up and said in a slightly panicked voice, "You talk, I'll go outside and take some fruit for you to eat!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl ran out of the door and disappeared into the early morning sun.
Looking at the dragon girl's embarrassing and somewhat funny back, the big chief smiled again, turned his head to Cao Ke and said: "My daughter, she has been locked up in the Sea Clan since she was a child, and she has little contact with the outside world.
Cao Ke clenched his fist towards the big chief, his tone softened a lot, and said, "Where, I just like the simple appearance of Long'er." ā
The big chief paused and brought the topic to the right track: "Young Master Ke, don't be surprised, after all, the matter of catching the traitor is too involved, and the intrigue and interests in it make me have to be extremely cautious, the first thing I want to determine is the purpose of your suggestion, whether it is really for the sake of my sea clan, so I will be picky about you in every way, I hope you look at Xiao Jiu's face and don't be weird." ā
Cao Ke nodded and quipped, "Since the big chiefs have moved the dragons out, then what else do I have to say?
"Okay!" The big chief slapped the table excitedly and said loudly: "Young Master Ke is high-minded! He is really broad-minded and does not linger in his heart! Since we have all talked about this, then there is nothing to be suspicious of each other, Young Master Ke, you can tell me about your plans!"
Cao Ke thought for a moment and said: "Last night, I have already analyzed with Long'er, since that traitor can leak your and Long'er's whereabouts to the Sunset Kingdom, then, he will definitely not give up if he does not achieve his goal! We can completely follow his wishes and create a few more opportunities for important people of the Sea Clan to be left alone, so that this traitor can reveal his flaws! In this way, we can gradually narrow down the scope and finally catch this traitor!"
The big chief nodded: "I understand what Young Master Ke means, but this method is more troublesome to implement, if you want to complete the whole thing, the time span is the biggest problem, have you considered these?"
