At this moment, Princess Shan Yu's expression changed again and again. Anger, impatience, contemplation... all sorts of emotions flashed across her face.
In fact, when Fang Zhengzhi asked about the Demons, she was a little indignant. However, when Fang Zhengzhi mentioned the Blood Shadow City...
She could not bring herself to say another word.
As the princess of the Southern Region, as the commander of 80,000 elite soldiers, she knew what the Blood Shadow City represented.
It was a blade!
A blade that hung over the Southern Region's head.
This blade had been feared by the Southern Region for hundreds of years. All this while, the Southern Region soldiers had been concentrated in the Nan Ling Settlement.
This was because they were wary of this blade.
However, ever since the Noblelite of the Southern Region formed an agreement with the Demons, the citizens of the Southern Region had begun to neglect this blade.
In the first few years, the Southern Region was indeed on guard. However, as time passed, the relationship between the two sides deepened. The Devil Race also provided a lot of help to the Southern Region. In the beginning, the Devil Race would send some cultivation techniques to the Southern Region. Later on, they even sent the elites of the Devil Race to guide and train them.
They even provided the materials to forge their weapons. In the past few years, the Southern Region's soldiers and equipment had become more and more powerful. However, the Demons did not make any moves.
This caused the Southern Region to let down their guard. In the end, they had forgotten about the Blood Shadow City and the blade that hung over their heads.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you say that the Demons will attack from the Blood Shadow City. What is the basis for this? Are they not afraid that the Southern Region will turn on them again? "One of the generals spoke up after a long moment of silence.
All of the generals knew what would happen if the Demons attacked from the Blood Shadow City. However, they did not believe it. In fact, they could not accept it.
"Turn on them? Haha... first, you have to have time to adjust! "Fang Zhengzhi smirked when he heard this.
"What do you mean?"
"If I'm not wrong, the Blood Shadow City must have made its move when the Sagely Mountain City is surrounded. If you want to stop them, you have to pass through the Icy Monkey Settlement first. However, the Icy Monkey Settlement is in the hands of the Great Xia. How can you do that? Time … You don't have time! "Fang Zhengzhi looked at the general with disdain.
"You …" The general's expression changed. Even though he was furious at Fang Zhengzhi's expression, there was nothing he could do.
The other generals also fell silent at this moment. They looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Because, just like what Fang Zhengzhi said.
Even if they wanted to change their target now, there was no time at all.
This was the main reason why Yun Qingwu dared to launch a sneak attack on the Sagely Mountain City. It was also the perfect part of Yun Qingwu's plan.
Even if you discovered it.
It was too late!
There was no way to stop it. That was the scariest part.
"Fang Zhengzhi, if the Demon soldiers of the Blood Shadow City really come out, I will not be able to hold them off for long even if I deploy 80,000 elites. Do you have any other ideas?" Princess Shan Yu's jet-black eyes gazed at the silent generals around her. Finally, she clenched her teeth and spoke.
"Of course." Fang Zhengzhi replied matter-of-factly.
"Then hurry up and tell me!" When Princess Shan Yu heard this, her tone became uncontrollably agitated. This was the kind of agitation one would feel when in a desperate situation.
"Oh …" Fang Zhengzhi let out a long sigh. Then, he sat down on the main seat and placed his legs on the table, "Your Highness, you're not going to kill me?"
"You! Fang Zhengzhi, look at the situation now! This is an urgent matter, hurry up and tell me! Furthermore, this is not just a matter of the Southern Region. If we really lose, the Great Xia will not have an easy time either! " Princess Shan Yu's expression changed when she saw Fang Zhengzhi sit on her chair. However, she did not say anything else.
All of the other generals glared at Fang Zhengzhi when they saw him sit on the golden leather. However, before Fang Zhengzhi could say anything, their choice was …
Endure it!
Fang Zhengzhi smiled as he looked at Princess Shan Yu and the generals below him. All this while, Princess Shan Yu had been the one pressing down on him.
Every time he entered this tent, Princess Shan Yu would lie lazily on the chair and look at him from the corner of her eyes. Even though her expression was a little arrogant...
However, as a man...
A man with dreams and ambitions, a man who would not even kneel in front of the Emperor of the Great Xia, how could he be suppressed by a mere Southern Region princess?
Flip.
This had always been Fang Zhengzhi's dream.
In the past, he did not flip because the time was not right. However, now that everything was under control, if he did not flip and suppress this princess, how could he be called a man?
"Is that so? His Majesty will be the one to worry about whether the Great Xia is doing well. I am just a lowly rank four Sword Envoy, military affairs have little to do with me. As for you... you are the princess of the Southern Mountain Range. If the Southern Mountain Range really falls, you will not be able to continue being a princess. "Fang Zhengzhi looked at Princess Shan Yu calmly.
"You … Fang Zhengzhi, you … I will kill …"
"You want to kill me again? Come on, I promise not to move. However, can you get someone to bring a basin of water over and wash the blood off my neck? "Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth in disdain.
"Ah, ah! You are infuriating me! Fang Zhengzhi, what do you want? "Princess Shan Yu was furious, so furious that she was on the verge of exploding.
"We haven't agreed on our terms yet?" Fang Zhengzhi was not worried at all.
"Terms?" Princess Shan Yu was stunned. At this moment, she realized that this guy was not from the Southern Region. In other words, the survival of the Southern Region had nothing to do with him.
Shameless!
How dare he take advantage of the situation!
Princess Shan Yu cursed in her heart.
The other generals standing in the field camp were also extremely furious. However, even though they were furious, the only thing they could do in such a difficult situation was to listen attentively.
"What are your conditions?" After a moment of silence, Princess Shan Yu finally suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Gold!" Fang Zhengzhi replied without hesitation.
"Gold? Hahaha … "Princess Shan Yu was taken aback. Then, she chuckled," I thought you had some terms. So you are just a greedy person. Alright, no problem. The Southern Region is vast and rich in minerals. We do not lack gold. How much do you want? A hundred taels? Or a thousand? Haha … let's be more straightforward. Even if you want ten thousand or a hundred thousand, I can afford it! "
"Haha … is that so? What if I say I want a gold mine? "Fang Zhengzhi chuckled. He liked people like Princess Shan Yu who said they did not lack money.
Wasn't this saying, "Come and kill me! Kill me to your heart's content!"
There was only one word …
Stupid!
"Gold mine?! No way! The gold mine has always been controlled by the royal family of the Southern Region. Even the six main settlements cannot touch the gold mine. How can I give it to you? " Princess Shan Yu's smile froze. Then, her face paled. She rejected him without hesitation.
The Southern Region was vast and rich in minerals.
Of course, there were many gold mines.
However, even so, Princess Shan Yu would never transfer the rights to mine the gold mines to anyone else. That represented the royal family's control over the Southern Mountain Range.
Fang Zhengzhi smiled as he looked at Princess Shan Yu's determined expression.
He knew what a gold mine meant in this world. It was like the "money printing machine" in his previous world. No country would give the "money printing machine" to an individual.
But that was what Fang Zhengzhi wanted.
In fact, after he found out about Yun Qingwu's plan, he knew that this matter could not be solved by being anxious.
Not only could it not be rushed...
Furthermore, it had to be stable.
In order to defeat Yun Qingwu's plan, he had to get through all the obstacles. He had to give up on all the guesses. If he made a mistake, he would lose everything.
As such, his main goal now was to calm Princess Shan Yu down.
Furthermore …
There was one more important point.
That was, Princess Shan Yu had to trust him completely. Furthermore, she had to carry out all of his plans at all costs.
This was a simple example of Fang Zhengzhi's motive for wanting the gold mines.
If a wealthy merchant spent an ingot of gold to buy ten elixirs and ate three of them to find that they didn't have any effect, he would at most eat another three before throwing them away.
But …
What if he's spending all his money?
It could be imagined that he would definitely consume all ten elixirs. Moreover, he would eat them cleanly, leaving not even a scrap of the elixir behind.
That was the difference between the two.
"I haven't finished my sentence. I want 10 gold mines. Furthermore, I want the biggest 10 gold mines!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Princess Shan Yu and added as if he hadn't heard what Princess Shan Yu had said.
"Ten gold mines?!"
"Is this guy crazy? Not even one, and he wants ten?! Furthermore, he even asked for the ten biggest ones. Doesn't he know that there are only about fifty gold mines in the Southern Region? "
"Wishful thinking, this is wishful thinking!"
The generals could not take it any longer. They pointed their fingers at Fang Zhengzhi. From their expressions, one could tell that they were truly enraged.
