Chapter 230 Seeking Help from the Queen
Chapter 230 Seeking Help from the Queen
Here I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day~
It was evening now, but the sky in the northern continent had already turned gloomy.
Bei Huang changed into casual clothes. If we ignore his temperament, he now looks more like an ordinary uncle.
At the request of the Northern Emperor, Jing Cangming also changed into the same linen clothes as himself.
On the brightly lit streets of the Northern Continent, an old man and a young boy looked like father and son.
"Your Majesty the Northern Emperor, I wonder where you are taking me?" Jing Cangming looked at the Northern Emperor with some curiosity.
"Haha, Cangming, you don't have to call me Beihuang here. My real name is Long Ye, you can just call me Uncle Long," Beihuang said with a peaceful smile.
Jing Cangming nodded and smiled back.
"Cangming, look, doesn't this Northern Continent look very warm and peaceful?" The Northern Emperor put his left hand behind his back and pointed to the surrounding homes and peace to Jing Cangming with his right hand.
Jing Cangming nodded and said, "Yes, compared with the Western Continent, the Northern Continent looks warmer, more peaceful and more secure."
What Jing Cangming said was right. Just one point can prove it, that is, the Northern Continent does not allow contracted beasts to appear on the mainland!
Contracted beasts are indeed a sense of security for the contractors themselves, but think about it the other way around, what about the weak, the common people? That is their sense of crisis.
So, comparing the two continents, although the Northern Continent experienced such a horrific thing ten years ago, as of now, the Northern Continent seems to be peaceful.
Of course, all this should be attributed to the Northern Emperor.
The two chatted as they walked and came to a relatively remote place in the northern continent.
This place is located on the southwest side of the northern continent, separated by an ice wall hundreds of meters high.
There is a big door on the ice wall, which is of course also made of ice, and there is a guard on each side.
When the two guards saw the Northern Emperor coming, they came over to salute him.
In the Northern Continent, every guard was personally selected and certified by the Northern Emperor. Therefore, even though the Northern Emperor looked like an ordinary citizen at this time, they could still recognize his appearance.
After passing through the ice wall, what you see is an extremely magnificent scene, with countless tall towers and halls.
"Uncle Long, what place is this?" Jing Cangming looked at the place in front of him, which looked like a paradise.
Although this place is also on the mainland, it is obviously different from the mainland. It is full of attribute energy.
"This is the place I arranged for the beast generals of the aristocratic families, academies, etc. in the Northern Continent. All the forces, aristocratic families, and academies are here," said the Northern Emperor as he walked.
Jing Cangming was really impressed by Beihuang's management system at this moment. Being able to place them here in such an orderly manner was, in a way, a sign of strength.
Bei Huang did not take Jing Cangming into the territory of a certain force, family or academy, but took him strolling around the streets.
"Uncle Long, aren't you worried that they will conflict with each other by placing them in such a place?" Jing Cangming was amazed, but he still had doubts about this issue.
Bei Huang smiled and said, “I was really worried before, so I ordered the elders to make friends with them and establish connections. So everything you can see now is actually related to the elders of the royal family. Due to the elders’ face, they did not have any big conflicts openly, but some minor frictions were also perfectly resolved.”
"So Uncle Long is going to take me to see the management policy of the Northern Continent today?" Jing Cangming asked bluntly.
Unexpectedly, the Northern Emperor actually sighed and shook his head, "Oh, it's not like that. There are a total of ten elders in the royal family now, divided into two factions. The five elders headed by the eldest elder support jointly resisting the enemy, while the five elders headed by the second elder support closing the country to the outside world."
Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming frowned, "So, now the powerful academies and families we see have also secretly split into two factions?"
Jing Cangming is not a fool. This is a problem that is already laid out in the open, so he naturally sees it.
Bei Huang nodded somewhat disappointedly, and then smiled bitterly, "Because the incident ten years ago caused too many separations and deaths, I wanted to build a peaceful continent, but I didn't expect that my decision would become my difficulty now."
Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming didn't know what to do. After all, he was not the emperor of a country, and he certainly had never participated in such political discussions. As a junior, he could only ask about the emperor's worries, but could not solve them for him.
But on the other hand, even if the five continents were united, would they be able to fight against the foreign countries? If the Northern Continent joined, its strength would be directly reduced by half.
When he thought of this, Jing Cangming felt overwhelmed.
"Let's go," Bei Huang looked at Jing Cangming and said.
Jing Cangming nodded and followed Bei Huang, and the two walked towards the gate.
After passing through the ice wall, the two guards saluted Beihuang, and then watched Beihuang and Jing Cangming leave.
"Hey? Why did the Northern Emperor come to visit us?"
"Who knows? Anyway, this is the first time I have seen the Northern Emperor since I started working."
"Me too. Oh, by the way, who is the child that Bei Huang is taking care of?"
"Okay, okay, stop gossiping. It has nothing to do with us."
After a brief chat, the two returned to their previous state, solemnly guarding both sides of the gate.
On the way, Bei Huang murmured, "I wonder how long these lights in thousands of homes can last."
"I'm afraid it won't last long. Now that foreign countries have dared to bleed their contracted beasts so blatantly, it's hard not to speculate that they are preparing for a war."
"Oh, yes," Bei Huang sighed again.
After a while, Jing Cangming was thinking along the way about how to solve such a problem. Finally, Jing Cangming made a bold decision.
"Uncle Long, can you help me arrange a meeting with the Second Elder and the others?"
"Oh? You want to meet them?" Bei Huang was obviously surprised by Jing Cangming's words.
Jing Cangming nodded and said, "Yes, I want to talk to them and see what they think. After all, you are the Northern Emperor, and there are many things and words they dare not and cannot tell you directly."
"Haha, can you guarantee that they will tell you?"
Jing Cangming pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, "Let's give it a try!"
"Hahahaha, you are really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger! Okay! I will arrange it for you personally!" The Northern Emperor laughed.
Late at night, Jing Cangming returned to his residence, while Long Luo and Qianjun had already gone to bed.
Jing Cangming did not choose to wake them up, even though he had a lot to say to someone.
Jing Cangming knew that if the Northern Emperor made arrangements for him, it would definitely happen quickly, and he would only need to issue an order.
But, what should I say if I really see them? They are all old foxes, and I am just a cub.
Jing Cangming sat on the roof, constantly lowering his head and frowning, regretting his choice.
Now, the uncle is still sleeping, and the clone of the Sky-Splitting Beast God has not awakened yet. When he tells Xiaoyi, Xiaojiu and the others about this matter, it is just him talking. They are just listening and cannot give any help at all.
Suddenly Jing Cangming's eyes widened, "Queen?!"
That’s right, Jing Cangming thought of the Queen. If you want to talk about someone who understands politics, the Queen must be the one!
That’s what he did. Jing Cangming came to the ice, found a corner to lie down, and then entered the world ring.
"Hey~? Boss?" Xiao Yi shouted with a grin.
But Jing Cangming now strode forward, ignoring Xiao Yi at all. He walked out of the gate of the Magma Beast King Palace, and with a whoosh, rushed towards the ocean area.
Soon, Jing Cangming saw the endless ocean, and with a splash, he dived into the water.
The huge Atlantis shines brightly in the ocean, like a pearl in the deep sea.
Jing Cangming swam towards Atlantis and arrived at the gate. When the two fishman guards saw that it was Jing Cangming, they immediately made way, opened the gate, and let him in.
After Jing Cangming came in, he rushed directly towards the palace, his speed as fast as a torpedo.
When Jing Cangming just arrived in Atlantis, the Queen sensed it and was already waiting at the entrance of the hall.
"Cang Ming? How come you have time to come to me?" The Queen asked, obviously looking a little excited.
Jing Cangming smiled and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
The queen nodded and walked into the hall.
Arriving in the hall, the two walked straight to the Beast King's throne and sat on it together.
"What would you like to drink?" the queen asked playfully, tilting her head.
Jing Cangming shook his head and said, "I won't drink anything. I don't have much time. I need to ask you something."
"Okay, go ahead," the queen was not a hesitant person, so she asked him to speak frankly.
Jing Cangming first spent some time explaining the situation in the Northern Continent to the Queen, and then spent some more time telling the Queen about the current situation within the royal family.
The Queen sat on the Beast King's throne and listened with great interest, giggling from time to time.
Although Jing Cangming didn't know why the Queen was laughing, he felt that he had made the right choice by finding her.
"I understand. Now there are five old guys who are unwilling to do it. And because of their unwillingness, half of the combat power of the Northern Continent is not participating?" The Queen said with a smile looking at Jing Cangming.
Jing Cangming nodded repeatedly in surprise, "As expected of you, you understand it now."
"So what? Want to find a way to convince them?" the Queen asked.
Jing Cangming nodded and said, "Yes, I may be arranged to meet them soon, so I don’t know what to do."
"What are you talking about? Is Long Ye the Northern Emperor or are they the Northern Emperor?" the Queen said sarcastically.
