Beauty and the Bodyguard

With their stealth method, they can move around quietly in the palace, and they are even less likely to be discovered if they disperse into the royal city. Lin Yi is still very relieved about this.

Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that there is a forbidden area within the royal city that is inaccessible to the spirit beast clan. Searching once is just for peace of mind. Lin Yi thinks that it is very likely that he will need to go outside the royal city to search in the end.

This matter cannot be resolved in a short period of time, so Lin Yi temporarily gave up the idea of ​​releasing the big frog to disrupt the situation. Anyway, he found five forbidden areas where the Void Essence Chains were placed, but he still couldn't destroy those Void Essence Chains.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi, the prince of the sea beast clan, had a Lan Guza placed next to him, so there was already some possibility of destroying the tripartite alliance. With Zheng Dongsheng as an unexpected secret, there was no problem at all in destroying it.

When they returned to the side hall, they found that Li Zaoyi had been in seclusion to refine elixirs. Probably while he was away, the spirit beast clan began to rush for the elixirs. Although Li Zaoyi had survival in his hands, he had to do the necessary elixir refining.

Lin Yi originally wanted to talk to Li Zaoyi about the progress of the matter, but it seemed that there was no chance for the time being. As an alchemy elder, he had to refine alchemy, and there was nothing going on around him, so he also went into seclusion to refine alchemy.

The next day, Lin Yi estimated that people from the spirit beast clan would come to him for another meeting. After packing up, he left the room. Sure enough, the spirit beast guard who came to invite him yesterday just arrived.

Li Zaoyi was still refining elixirs in his room. Lin Yi did not disturb him and followed the spirit beast guard to the meeting hall. He was not the first to arrive today. Zheng Dongsheng arrived first and saw Lin Yi coming. The spirit beast guard on the side nodded coldly in greeting.

Lin Yi had just arrived, and other elders also arrived one after another. After the first meeting yesterday, there was no greeting today and they went straight to the point.

"There were some emergencies in the palace yesterday that needed to be dealt with, so the meeting was interrupted and will continue today." Suzaku glanced at everyone present indifferently, without any expression on his face.

"Elder Suzaku, what matters need you to handle personally? If you need help, just ask. Although my ability is limited, my intention is absolutely true." Xiao Yi smiled slightly, looking very enthusiastic. Only Lin Yi knew , this guy must be very unhappy.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the matter has been dealt with. If necessary, I will definitely ask Your Highness for help." Suzaku showed a smile, which was a great honor to Xiao Yi.

But in Xiao Yi's eyes, because of his preconceptions, he felt that if Suzaku's smile had a deep meaning, not to mention being perfunctory, it would definitely be quite hypocritical.

"If Elder Suzaku opens his mouth, of course I will not refuse." Xiao Yi burst out laughing, but there was an undetectable cold light in his eyes.

Lin Yi smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that Xiao Yi meant that Suzaku should be more upright and there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future. If he was stabbed in the back, there would be no need to say anything.

I don’t know what that guy Lan Guza said yesterday, but the effect seemed to be good. Xiao Yi’s dissatisfaction may not have been noticed by Suzaku, but Lin Yi had a clear sense of it.

"Your Highness is such a generous person!" Suzaku complimented him without saltiness, then brought the topic back to the meeting: "Today's first topic happens to be about the sea beast clan. Please take care of it, Your Highness."

"Elder Suzaku is talking about the joint exercise. In order for our plan to be implemented smoothly, this joint exercise requires a large investment of manpower and material resources, especially for the sea beast clan. It must be conducted as an actual battle. The number of troops invested must not be less than 80% of the plan. ." Qinglong waited for Suzaku to finish speaking, then seamlessly connected and made a supplementary explanation.

Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng were the only two people present who didn't know what the plan was. The other six people were obviously insiders, so no one asked for details.

"Elders, regarding the joint exercise, this prince has carefully considered it and feels that it is not very necessary! You must know that convening such a large-scale sea beast tide, and mainly focusing on long-distance transportation, is very difficult for our sea beast clan. I really don’t have much interest. Anyway, when the plan is implemented, I guarantee that there will be no problems with long-distance transportation and the like, so for this joint exercise, it is better to reduce the number and scale and use only 10% of the plan." Xiao Yi spoke lazily, not remembering what he had just said that he would never refuse as long as Suzaku opened his mouth.

"10% of the plan? What's the point of such an exercise? This is an exercise conducted for the smoothness of the plan. It cannot be fully tested, so it is better not to do it!" Qinglong was slightly startled, and then his face became a little ugly, and his tone of voice was also It doesn't sound very good.

"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it! This prince doesn't care!" Xiao Yi grinned and looked at Qinglong without fear. After hearing about the center's coveting of the genes of the sea beast royal family, this guy had already turned against him. thoughts.

Anyway, in the palace of the spirit beast clan, Suzaku and others would not attack him directly and take revenge on the sea beast clan, so Xiao Yi had almost nothing to worry about.

"Your Highness, if you have any other ideas, you can bring them up for discussion. Our cooperation requires mutual trust, so that we can be sincere and united. If everyone keeps their opinions to themselves, nothing will be accomplished!" Suzaku glanced at Xiao Yi, suddenly smiled and said, he is worthy of being the actual head of the spirit beast clan, his vision and magnanimity are quite admirable.

"Elder Zhuque is overly worried. This prince is just discussing the matter and has no other ideas. Let's discuss it. Is there any problem?" Xiao Yi shrugged. Although he was ready to fall out, there was no need to forcefully break up until the last moment. .

"No problem! We are all allies. No one can be lacking in the joint exercise. Let's not talk about the specific number. Let's vote to see if the joint exercise is necessary. I think it is necessary. There are some who are opposed to it. Please raise your hands!" Zhuque did not continue to argue with Xiao Yi and directly started the voting process.

And Zhuque said it very skillfully, first stating his position, and then asking those who objected to raise their hands. Under normal circumstances, even if Xiao Yi really objected, he would not object if Suzaku clearly expressed his approval.

If Suzaku asked those who agreed to raise their hands, Xiao Yi would probably ignore it, but if he asked those who opposed to raise their hands, he would have to think carefully about whether to raise his hands. If he hesitated for a while and did not raise his hands, it would mean he agreed.

Lin Yi didn't have so many worries. He was not satisfied with what Suzaku wanted to do, so he immediately raised his hand to express his opposition.
