In front of the island owner's mansion
After Xu Yangshankun confirmed that Jinyihou was dead and there was nothing to help on the island, he said goodbye to Zhan Changfeng and returned to Hengdu on a flying eagle. He couldn't help but sigh as he flew over the starfish. His fleet had just been bombed not long ago. A generation of princes fell in the blink of an eye, ha! Not in vain!
Zhan Changfeng sent the two of them off, then returned home, where he ordered those who had committed minor offenses in the dungeon to be sent off the island one after another. The rebellious border soldiers and navy who committed minor offenses were also fined with spirit stones and sent out.
Now the public officials in the island's main palace and five military towns in the two main cities have been put in place, population migration is in progress, and the freshwater pearl cultivation and refining field Yaoyuan Salt Field has restarted. She also plans to set up a children's camp in the military town in the future to train since childhood. Hunyuan Bone Forging Technique and Hundred Refining Sword Techniques.
Things unfolded one after another and developed steadily. She gradually transferred the general affairs to the political hall and supervised and guided their rules of conduct.
Someone came to report, "Island owner, we caught some people in the outer sea, including Yan Ce."
Zhan Changfeng cut off the side branches of the potted plant without raising his head, "Xu came to see me, take him to the side hall."
"yes."
Shuo Yu walked around to the new barracks on time every day to shock a group of people, and then returned to the island owner's mansion to temporarily serve as the general of the nursing camp. When he heard the report next to him, he said, "Isn't Yanjia Island having a hard time? It’s not that we have few people, after destroying Guanlan Palace, we might be able to take over Ningjia Island, and the Starfish Islands are just around the corner.”
"A lot of energy has been spent here, and you still want to cause more trouble?" Zhan Changfeng brushed the cut branches aside, "The roots are not deep, and there are too many side branches, which will become a drag."
Shuo Yu only broke through the Guanlan Palace and still has more to say. After all, he hasn’t fought for a long time. But now if he really wants to eat the starfish, it will be difficult to truly conquer it. Instead, he will have the dilemma of not losing it. "But I heard that the leader had previously said that the Pearl Island was destroyed. Analysis, Yan Ce plays an important role in it. If it weren't for our arrival, I'm afraid it would be as he wished. Such a person might cause some trouble if he stays with Haixing. Why don't you take advantage of his current weakness? Recruit?"
"He is good at small-scale situations, and his strategy is not bad. Unfortunately, he is a bit arrogant. He often hits the south wall before looking back, and then finds that it is too late and he is still immature. Moreover, he must now want to revitalize the Yanjia Island and will not care about other things. ."
"Go and meet him. If he wants to take away the people in the dungeon, let him choose. If he has the ability to persuade people, let him take them away."
Shuo Yu hesitated for a moment, "Let him take it away for free?"
"I look like a stingy person"
Liang Liang's voice reached his ears, and Shuo Yu immediately clasped his fists seriously, "Captain, I'm going to meet him right away."
When Yan Ce heard Shuo Jing's words, he thought he had been soaked in the water for a long time and was still awake. He came back to his senses after entering the dungeon. Seeing that the cell was much empty, he asked, "What will happen to these prisoners?"
"The useless ones will be sent off the island, and the rest will be imprisoned until death, or they may be punished with work." Shuo Yu pushed open the iron gate of the prison area where the prisoners of Starfish Island were kept. "You can pick them yourself. If they are willing to go with you, just take them with you." Walk."
What he said was like "Just pick whatever you like, I'll give it to you, you're welcome." Yan Ce's eyes twitched slightly, feeling a little uneasy about the island owner's generosity, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
Shuo Jong slapped him on the shoulder. The young man's slender body was particularly delicate in comparison with his, and he almost staggered from the slap, "Oh, you"
Yan Ce raised his head and saw the nine-foot-tall man looking seriously thinking, "Let me think about it, our leader is too willful and will smash the spirit stones when he sees something that pleases him. You don't have to be embarrassed. She even indirectly smashed it on me before." It’s over 100 million, and you just took away a few people who occupied seats.”
He didn't even know which sentence to answer. Is that pride of "you are not as good as me" my illusion?
Yan Ce glanced at the nine-foot man with a deep and solemn profile, and calmed down his mood. No matter what, he owed the favor, "Please thank the island owner for me. No matter what happens in the future, my Yan Family Island will not take action against Yingzhou. "
"Hahaha, you may not be able to come up with it if you think of it, go ahead and pick it up."
Yan Ce sneered, inexplicably feeling that he had really told a joke.
He also thought of the anecdotes he overheard that were circulating privately on Ningjia Island. It was said that when Jinyihou led his army to attack Yanjia Island, a black flag was flying on the Guanlan Palace.
Yan Ce didn't know why he thought of this matter at this time. He vaguely felt that it was related to Yingzhou, but this idea was too absurd and bold. He threw it away for a moment. Jin Yihou's thoughts did not even include him, the person involved. It is clear how someone could seize this tiny gap and attack Guanlan Palace for hundreds of miles without making any sound.
However, he admitted that the new island owner's strength, style, resourcefulness, and ability to bear the title of God's favored daughter meant that being in the same sea area with her, or at the same time period, was a very stressful thing. What's more, now is the time when the storm is raging.
Yan Ce finally invited Taoist Yiyang and persuaded more than forty foundation builders besides his original subordinates. With these people here, the crisis on Yanjia Island would be much smaller. When he left Yingzhou by boat, he paid a distant tribute to Yingzhou, which had disappeared without a trace. This was where he failed, and it was also where he started again. After today, there will no longer be Yan Ce who used to tolerate his family's origins. .
Yan Ce has a feeling that is right. This is indeed a turbulent era. It pushes you to keep moving forward, or you are drowned in the trend, or like a shooting star passing through the splendor that the world looks up to. Those who are depressed and frustrated can only blame themselves for their emergence. I have too many talents and I didn’t give you a chance to show them off.
The fall of Jinyihou seemed to have opened the door for the old princes. A month later, on the Manshan battlefield, Baiyunhou was killed and Weiminghou was seriously injured. Qibeihou began to regain the lost territory in the north. Qinglan, who had always rarely intervened in disputes, Hou sided with Qi Beihou and gradually suppressed Zhe Guihou.
The alliance between the three families of Weiming Hou Baiyunhou and Guihou gradually collapsed. When everyone thought the dust had settled, the Seventh Family joined forces to annex Baiyunhou's territory and applied to the Council of Elders for canonization, hoping to become a new prince.
The Council of Elders was in an uproar. This was the first time in history that a certain force took the initiative to seek canonization from the Council of Elders.
Perhaps force is more appropriate, because they have already occupied Baiyunhou's territory and are a big lord in the actual sense.
The co-ownership status of the Council of Elders has long been in name only, but it has never encountered such a straightforward provocative threat. If it is canonized, it means that this behavior of seizing the territory of the princes is recognized by the Council of Elders. Not only is it recognized, but it can also be obtained With the support of the "Co-leader", this move will greatly arouse the ambitions of the small family gangs, cause deeper turmoil, and cut the prestige of the Council of Elders in half.
If they are not canonized, what if they occupy the land and turn around and join other princes to attack the Council of Elders?
The council of elders debated this matter for several days and nights, and it was really hard to make a decision.
What's more, the Seventh Family originally rented land from the Council of Elders to build the city, and the cities were scattered in the territory directly under the Council of Elders. Now that they are officially united together, it is equivalent to cutting off part of the territory of the Council of Elders. Can you expect them to give up? All the ancestral residences were moved to Baiyunhou's territory?
The cession of territory is what scares the Council of Elders the most. It directly tears off the Council of Elders' cloak of peace and makes them realize that no matter how much or how long they argue, they can only give away the title of prince.
Yuan Heng, who was in charge of the troops, also said that there should be no fight. The combined power of the seven families was already equal to that of two princes. After the fight, the Council of Elders might win, but its own vitality would be severely damaged, allowing other princes to take advantage of it.
Yuan Heng, who had military power in his hands, said so, and the Council of Elders could only reluctantly recognize the princes of the Seventh Family.
The seven aristocratic families jointly elected Gongsun Zhenglong as a marquis, and asked him to be named Mingzhao.
