Chapter 209 Discussion
When Xiao Ling heard Medusa's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself. He had indeed heard something about the Three Kingdoms Alliance from Hai Bodong before, and had a certain understanding of the matter.
Since in the original work, the Mulan Empire, the Luoyan Empire and the Izumo Empire joined forces, the invasion of the Gama Empire happened three or four years later, but he had not paid much attention to it before.
However, when Xiao Ling thought about it carefully, he realized that the Soul Palace was also behind this incident. The Bird Protector was captured by him before, and now he has been refined into an earth demon puppet. Perhaps it was because he could not contact the Bird Protector that the three countries jointly invaded the Gama Empire to happen in advance.
Facing the potential threat from the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Garma Empire will indeed face a big dilemma.
Although the top powers in the Three Kingdoms are not a threat in Xiao Ling's eyes, this is undoubtedly a severe test for the Jiama Empire.
Xiao Ling knew that he could not stay in the Jia Ma Empire forever. Therefore, it would be beneficial to both parties to promote an alliance between the Snake People and the Jia Ma Empire.
At this time, Zi Yan gently pulled Xiao Ling's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Xiao Ling, please help sister Medusa. She is also helpless."
Xiao Ling shook her head helplessly and responded softly: "Don't worry, Zi Yan, even if it's just for your sake, I will naturally help you with this."
Then, Xiao Ling turned to Medusa and said calmly: "Queen Medusa, please rest assured. I will personally take you to the royal family of the Gama Empire to communicate. As for the specific content of the negotiation, that will depend on you. Discussion with the Jia Ma Empire”
Queen Medusa also breathed a sigh of relief. She knew what Xiao Ling's promise meant. With Xiao Ling's introduction, there was greater hope for the alliance between the Snake Tribe and the Gama Empire.
Although Medusa's voice was still emotionless, it sounded a little more relaxed. She said: "Thank you so much, Master Xiao Ling. When the matter is completed, I, the Snake Tribe, will be rewarded generously."
Xiao Ling waved her hand gently and replied in an indifferent tone, "No need to say thank you. If you want to be grateful, just thank Zi Yan."
The little resources of the snake people were not very attractive to him.
In Xiao Ling's opinion, the only thing among the snake people that can arouse his interest is the potential of Medusa herself. If she could evolve into a seven-color sky-swallowing python, or even a nine-color sky-swallowing python, then she would truly have unlimited potential and be worth cultivating.
Then, Xiao Ling said, "Time is running out, let's go to the palace now."
Queen Medusa nodded slightly, and then gave Zi Yan a gentle smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling's figure flashed and disappeared into the courtyard like a gust of wind. Upon seeing this, Medusa immediately followed. Her posture was as strong as a swimming snake, and she quickly caught up with Xiao Ling.
……
Not long after, two figures, a man and a woman, appeared in front of the Gama Empire Palace.
Seeing someone suddenly appearing, the guards were initially alert, but when they recognized the leader as Xiao Ling, they immediately straightened up and saluted, "Master Xiao Ling."
Xiao Ling's face is still very recognizable in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
The eyes of these guards were full of awe, and they obviously had high respect for this young alchemy master.
Xiao Ling nodded slightly to express his gratitude to the guards. He looked calm and spoke in a calm tone: "My sudden visit may have disturbed your work, but I do have something important to discuss with Mr. Jia. Please let me know."
As soon as Xiao Ling finished speaking, the guard captain immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully: "Master Xiao Ling is serious. Your visit is our honor. Jia Lao has already given instructions that you can come and go freely in the palace. No need to Report and you can meet with him at any time.”
The guard captain finished his answer respectfully, and then added hesitantly: "Master Xiao Ling, do you need me to send someone to lead you?"
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating that he knew something about the layout of the palace. "No need to bother, captain of the guard. I still remember the road to Jia Lao Chu very clearly."
After hearing this, the guard captain no longer asked too much, but bowed again, stood aside, and made way for Xiao Ling and Medusa. "In that case, master, please do as you please. If you need anything, please let us know at any time."
Xiao Ling nodded lightly, expressed his thanks again, and then led Medusa forward steadily along the familiar palace road.
The two of them passed through the palace gates. When the palace maids and guards along the way saw Xiao Ling, they all bowed their heads and saluted, not daring to look directly at him. Xiao Ling's name has long been a household name in the Jiama Empire, and his arrival naturally caused quite a commotion.
Ten minutes passed. Xiao Ling took Medusa to the courtyard where Jia Xingtian lived.
It seemed that someone in the palace had announced their arrival, so before Xiao Ling stepped forward to knock on the door, a girl with a cool temperament slowly opened the door from inside. Xiao Ling recognized her identity at a glance. She was Yaoye, the eldest princess of the Jiama Empire royal family.
When Yao Ye first looked at Xiao Ling, she had a gentle smile on her face. However, when her eyes inadvertently fell on Medusa behind Xiao Ling, her gentle smile instantly solidified.
As the eldest princess of the royal family of the Gama Empire, she naturally knew the true appearance of Medusa. Although his subordinates reported that Xiao Ling came this time and brought a woman with him, he did not expect that it was the famous Medusa.
After looking carefully, Yaoyue discovered that Medusa no longer had a snake tail. This kind of performance clearly meant that Medusa had broken through to the Douzong realm.
Douzong, in today's Jia Ma Empire, apparently no one can reach it.
Now that Medusa, the Queen of the Snake Tribe, who has always had friction with the Garma Empire, has reached Douzong, how can such a thing not surprise her?
Although there were many thoughts in her mind, Yao Ye, as the eldest princess of the Jia Ma Empire, had very good etiquette and quickly regained her composure. She gracefully made a gesture of invitation and said to Xiao Ling: "Master Xiao Ling, great grandpa has been waiting inside for a long time."
Xiao Ling felt the subtle changes in Yao Ye, but didn't say anything. He just smiled slightly in response, and then walked into the courtyard first.
Medusa glanced at Yaoyue lightly, and then followed Xiao Ling's pace.
Stepping into the courtyard, Xiao Ling and Medusa's eyes fell on Jia Xingtian.
Master Xingtian also showed a surprised look when he saw Medusa.
However, after Xiao Ling succinctly explained their purpose, Jia Xingtian quickly regained his composure.
After some in-depth negotiations, the two parties finally reached a consensus and agreed to form an alliance.
The Gama Empire agreed to assign an area of the Warcraft Mountains to the Snake People, but the condition was that if any other country launched an attack on the Gama Empire, the Snake People must also provide support.
Under the current situation, Jia Xingtian knew that Medusa had broken through to the Douzong realm and he could not offend her too much. Although Xiao Ling did not express his support for Medusa, Jia Xingtian could feel his approval of the alliance from his attitude.
Moreover, forming an alliance with the Snake People will undoubtedly enhance the strength of the Jia Ma Empire and add a layer of protection against the threat of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. However, after experiencing this incident, Jia Xingtian became more determined to break through Douzong as soon as possible.
He thought secretly in his heart: "We must gather the medicinal materials for refining the Po Zong Pill before Xiao Ling leaves the Jia Ma Empire, and ask him to refine a Po Zong Pill again."
With the final details finalized, Jiaxingtian and Medusa finally concluded their negotiations and reached a consensus.
Seeing that the discussion between the two parties had come to an end, Xiao Ling said softly: "Since the two of you have finished discussing it, it is inconvenient for me to stay longer, so I will leave first."
Seeing that Xiao Ling wanted to leave, Medusa also made it clear that she had no intention of staying here, and lightly opened her red lips: "In that case, I will leave with you."
After hearing this, Xiao Ling just nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Immediately, Xiao Ling turned to Jia Xingtian and Princess Yaoye, and said hello: "Jia Lao, Princess Yaoye, it's getting late. It's time for me to go back. See you at the conference tomorrow."
Princess Yaoye watched Xiao Ling's figure, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. Her voice was soft and she suggested with a hint of expectation: "Master Xiao Ling, let Ye'er see you off."
Jia Xingtian also echoed, adding with a hint of meaning in his tone, "Yes, Master Xiao Ling and Ye'er are similar in age, so they are suitable for more exchanges."
When Medusa heard Jia Xingtian's words, a flash of amusement flashed in her eyes. She had heard Zi Yan mention it before, and Xiao Ling was not a dedicated person.
Xiao Ling naturally caught the implication of Jia Xing Tian's words, and seemed to intend to build a relationship between himself and Yao Ye.
Although Yao Ye's beauty is indeed outstanding and can be said to be the beauty of the country, no less than the Little Medical Fairy and Han Yue, and only half a step behind Xiao Xun'er, her noble and cool temperament adds a bit more to her. charm.
However, Xiao Ling is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman.
In his view, emotional matters require not only mutual attraction between the two parties, but also a deep emotional foundation. He and Yao Ye didn't have many interactions, and there wasn't much emotional connection between them.
And whether the other person really appreciates him or has other purposes, he still doesn't know.
Xiao Ling smiled slightly and declined Yao Ye's kindness: "Thank you, Princess Yao Ye, but there's no need to bother. I still know the way to the palace."
Then, without waiting for Yaoye to react, he left alone.
Upon seeing this, Medusa immediately followed Xiao Ling and left the courtyard together.
Watching Xiao Ling and Medusa drift away from each other, Yao Ye couldn't help but reveal a trace of loss that was difficult to conceal on her face.
She has always been the center of attention since she was little. Countless young talents have fallen under her pomegranate skirt. Everything she desires is always within her reach.
But today, facing Xiao Ling's indifference, she couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of frustration in her heart.
Yao Ye knew in her heart that Xiao Ling was so outstanding that he was naturally favored by many women. Even if she is willing to lower her status, there is no guarantee that she will win Xiao Ling's favor. However, when Xiao Ling's rejection was really in front of her, the bitter emotion still spread in her heart.
Although getting close to Xiao Ling was Jia Xingtian's arrangement, facing such a talented and handsome person like Xiao Ling, Yao Ye found that her heart could not help but be shaken. After all, how could a woman in her youth not be enthralled by contact with such an outstanding man?
Jia Xingtian witnessed Yao Ye's emotional changes and could only express his feelings with a sigh and helpless shaking of his head.
He originally hoped that Yao Ye could get closer to Xiao Ling, and if they could lead to a good relationship, it would naturally be the most ideal result. But now it seems that this road is not smooth.
In this case, he can only place his hope on another princess, Yaoyue.
As far as he knew, the relationship between Yaoyue and Xiao Yan had always been quite harmonious. If the marriage between the two could be facilitated, it would undoubtedly add a closer bond between the royal family and the Xiao family.
Jia Xingtian knew well that although political marriage was a temporary expedient, it was also a masterful way to consolidate power in the complex power chess game.
The talent and potential shown by Xiao Ling indicate that his stage is far beyond the Gama Empire, and the vast Central Continent is where he will spread his wings and fly high.
If it can forge a deeper connection with the Xiao family, the Jiama Empire can obtain more generous returns.
On the contrary, if the Xiao family continues to grow under the leadership of Xiao Ling, even if they have no desire to covet the Jia Ma Empire, the Jia Ma Empire's status and influence will be difficult to sustain, and will eventually end up in a situation where it exists in name only.
……
In Xiao Ling's courtyard, the Little Medical Fairy, Qing Lin and Zi Yan were sitting around talking, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Suddenly, there was a subtle spatial fluctuation in the air, and then the two figures gradually solidified. It was Xiao Ling and Medusa who had just returned.
The appearance of the two men broke the original conversation, and the three people's eyes turned to them in unison.
Zi Yan jumped up from the seat lightly, like a cheerful bird flying between Xiao Ling and Medusa, holding one in each hand, and asked expectantly: "Xiao Ling, sister Medusa, and the royal family." How are the negotiations going? ”
Xiao Ling was helpless and curious, and asked Zi Yan: "Is there any special benefit to you from the agreement between the Snake Tribe and the Gama Empire?"
Zi Yan was stunned when she was asked. She really had not thought about this question deeply. She just instinctively wanted to help out of friendship with Medusa.
But then, she rolled her eyes and seemed to have thought of something. She said with a hint of playfulness: "In this case, it will be more convenient for me to see Sister Medusa. From now on, I can go to see Sister Medusa during the day and come back at night." You refine the elixir.”
After hearing Zi Yan's answer, Xiao Ling couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and said funny and angrily: "We won't stay in the Jia Ma Empire forever. Do you think we will stay here forever?"
Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and realized her naivety, but she still said stubbornly, "It'll be easier every day. Oh, just tell me. I'm just curious."
Xiao Ling chuckled and rubbed Zi Yan's head, with a hint of ridicule in her tone: "I am not the protagonist of this matter. You should ask your Medusa sister yourself."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan turned to Medusa with curiosity in her eyes, looking forward to her answer.
