Yan Qi only knew the details of this cruel black history that Princess Wuyou had experienced through Lord Suolang's narration.
In the past, Yan Qi also knew some things about Princess Wuyou's struggle for power through Zhao Yulin's investigation.
But it’s just about knowing the cause and effect of things.
As for the cruelty and twists and turns, I don't know.
After hearing what Lord Suolang said, Yan Qi admired Princess Wuyou very much.
This beautiful royal sister is ambitious, capable, and can even be called a far-sighted type.
However, she met herself at the wrong time.
When Yan Qi saw that Lord Suolang was so afraid of Princess Wuyou, he wanted to keep Princess Wuyou even more.
If the wolves are dead, will the rabbit still be afraid?
Yan Qi looked at King Suolang: "I have just taken over the affairs of the Western Regions, and I don't know the details. I thought the Eight Kings governed the Western Regions in an orderly manner, but I didn't expect that the Western Regions would be so cruel and chaotic. It sounds shocking. Horrible, shocking and terrifying."
Lord Suolang shook his head: "Eight Kings? Hey, Lord Yan is in power now, so I might as well complain to him."
"For so many years, we in the Western Region have been extremely filial to the Eight Kings. Every year we spend huge sums of money on them, and we treat them like emperors."
"However, these massive supplies went into the pockets of the Eight Kings themselves and did not enter Dahua's treasury, and the Emperor of Dahua did not know about it."
"If things go on like this, we, the countries in the Western Regions, have not received any feedback from Dahua. In this case, why should we surrender to Dahua? We feel sad and resist, and then we gradually distance ourselves from Dahua."
When Yan Qi heard this, his hair stood up in anger.
If Suo Lang hadn't pointed it out, he really wouldn't have known about the Western Regions' offerings to the Eight Kings every year.
The Eight Kings have been in charge of the Western Region for so many years, and it seems that they have been greedy too much.
No wonder the Eight Kings are so rich, spending tens of millions of taels of silver.
It turns out that he was doing extortion in the Western Region.
Yan Qi was very angry.
The expression is full of gloom.
Suo Lang was a little scared: "Master Yan, did I say something wrong?"
Yan Qidao: "No, Lord Suolang, if you want to be friends with me, just tell me more. I am quite interested in everything the Eight Kings have done in the Western Regions."
Suo Lang nodded: "Okay, since Yan
If you are willing to listen, I will say more. This Eight Kings has controlled the Western Region for twenty years. Every year, he gets five hundred thousand taels of silver from me. "
"But, sir, think about it, there are seventeen countries in the Western Region, there are so many different countries, how much does it cost?"
"Also, the Eight Kings also extorted Xiye Kingdom's iron ore, Weishan water resources, and pearls and antiques from various countries. Tsk tsk tsk...if you calculate it carefully, it's really amazing."
Yan Qi became angrier as he listened.
This bastard, the Eighth Prince, is simply trying to screw the Western Regions.
No wonder there are so many disasters happening around Dahua.
It turns out that the Eight Kings played a role in fueling the flames.
Yan Qi wrote these things down.
In the future, let the Eight Kings settle their accounts.
Suo Lang and Yan Qi chatted about the Eight Kings for a while.
Finally, he brought the topic back: "Master Yan, I'm not afraid of jokes when I say this. I just want to have a close communication relationship with you."
"What is the purpose of me getting close to Master Yan? I told Master Yan frankly that I wanted to take advantage of Master Yan, and I wanted Master Yan to help me, but I really don't have the ability to give back to Master Yan. grown ups."
"The only thing I can do is hope that Princess Sophie can be liked by Master Yan, and that Master Yan can love Wujiwu and give Xiye Kingdom some help within its power."
"After all, after this battle, Xiye Kingdom will not be able to recover for ten years. It doesn't matter if I die. If Sophie has no one to support her and take care of her, her end will definitely be extremely tragic."
"Master Yan, the above are all my words from the bottom of my heart. Please, Master Yan, can clear the clouds and see the sun for me."
Say it!
Suo Lang stood up and bowed to Yan Qi.
Although Xiye's national power is weak and people's livelihood is in decline.
But Solang is the king after all.
As the leader of a country, he bowed to Yan Qi.
This shows that his attitude is sincere.
Moreover, he also suffers from tremors.
Yan Qi hurriedly helped Suo Lang up: "You don't have to be like this, Lord. Sit down quickly and let me think carefully."
Seeing Yan Qi relent, Suo Lang felt hope burning in his heart: "Thank you, Lord Yan, for thinking about it. Thank you, Lord Yan, for thinking about it."
Yan Qi fell into deep thought.
Lord Suolang looked at Yan Qi eagerly, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and wanted to open his mouth several times.
He, he can't sit still because he can't wait to see what's going on.
Son.
Yan Qi thought for a long time, looked at Suo Lang, and showed an incomprehensible smile.
Suo Lang was looking forward to it: "Master Yan, please give me some advice, please give me some advice."
Yan Qidao: "Lord Suolang, do you know why the countries in the Western Regions unite to attack instead of attacking other countries?"
Suo Lang said: "Master Yan really got the point right. Of course I know about it. Because there are two major differences between Xiye Kingdom and other countries."
"First, it's because half of Weishan's water resources are on the territory of Xiye Kingdom."
"Two, because there is iron ore in Xiye."
"Weishan's water resources have the highest strategic value, and anyone with ambition wants to possess them."
"The iron ore in Xiye Kingdom has great economic value."
"The water resources of Weishan Mountain and the iron ore have made Xiye Kingdom a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the countries in the Western Region."
Yan Qi nodded: "The Lord Suolang really understands the entanglement of interests. He hit the nail on the head and penetrated the issue, which saved me a lot of words."
"Now, I want to ask Lord Suolang a question. This sentence is of vital importance and is related to the life and death of Xiye Kingdom."
Seeing Yan Qi's serious question, Suo Lang hurriedly stood up, controlled his body shaking, and said seriously: "Master Yan, just ask, I will answer truthfully."
Yan Qi asked: "Does Lord Suolang think he can keep the two magic weapons of Weishan's water resources and iron ore in his lifetime? Or, in a hundred years, will Princess Sophie be able to keep Weishan's water resources and iron ore?"
"In other words, even if Princess Sophie is seized of power a hundred years later, if her cousin or some other cat or dog takes over, will they be able to defend Weishan's water resources and iron mines?"
Suo Lang frowned deeply when he heard this.
After a long time.
Suo Lang sighed: "Master Yan asked me about my sadness. No matter who comes to power in the West Night Kingdom, no matter how powerful the future Lord of the West Night Kingdom is, the West Night Kingdom will not be able to protect the water resources and iron resources of the Weishan Mountains." Mine.”
Yan Qi snapped his fingers: "Master Suolang sees this issue very clearly and is very self-aware. Now, I will put forward my opinions and ideas."
Suo Lang said: "Master Yan, please speak frankly without being polite. I can withstand any whipping and admonishment in my heart."
Yan Qi stared at Suo Lang and said word by word: "My point of view is: ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of carrying a jade!"
