Chapter 124
Another question, still a very sensitive question, Yun Jiuxi's face was bad on the spot.
Xiao Zhanting had expected that when he saw her national ring before, he had a strong intuition that it was not like an ordinary ring.
And his "ordinary" does not mean that the contrast between the ring and the ring is not ordinary.
It was the ghostly kyanite on that ring, which didn't feel like a normal naturally occurring spar on Earth at all.
But if it is said to be made by hand....
There is no reason why something that can be artificially made can be used as a national ring, and there is no reason to waste such a big effort and then retrieve it after it is lost.
That's why Xiao Zhanting asked more, wanting to find out what this was.
Yun Jiuxi didn't say anything for a long time, so he waited quietly.
He didn't plan to force her, and he wasn't sure if she would say it, this might involve a question of trust, which actually made him care more than what Yun Jiuxi's national ring came from.
I don't know how long it took, just when Xiao Zhanting thought she wouldn't speak, Yun Jiuxi spoke.
She looked at the other party, her eyes couldn't tell what it meant, and her tone also hid some subtleties that Xiao Zhanting couldn't understand.
"Really want to know?"
Xiao Zhanting could only say, "If you don't believe me, you can not say it." All I can say is that I really want to help you, and other than that, there is no difference.
Yun Jiuxi stared at him deadly.
After a long while, she finally let go and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the bustling city.
"That ring, which can be said to hold the first power of our country, is the representative of the highest symbol."
Xiao Zhanting frowned when he heard this: "I thought it was you?"
Yun Jiuxi said, "In a sense, it's me." I am the lord of the country elected by the people, and the symbol of the strongest ability of the Yun Kingdom. But this was established under the premise that the national ring was lost and no one controlled the first military treasury of the Cloud Kingdom.
Xiao Zhanting showed a "what's going on" expression.
Yun Jiuxi continued, "We, the Cloud Country, have a very mysterious and powerful army treasury—much more mysterious than the Cloud Country itself.
"A hundred years ago, when the national ring was still there, because the military treasury could only be opened by the national ring, the person holding the national ring was the monarch of the cloud country, and the combination of the two was the supreme leader of the cloud country."
Xiao Zhanting was puzzled: "In this way, anyone can get the national ring, and anyone can be called king?"
"How is that possible? The strong of the Yun Country is the king, the ability is insufficient, the national ring cannot be preserved at all, and he will be killed and seized by others in minutes.
"It is precisely because of such rules that most citizens are actually more afraid of the national precept and do not want to be associated with it at all." Only people like us, who already have a certain amount of military power and considerable ability, will compete for this national ring.
Xiao Zhanting nodded slowly, basically understanding how their country operated.
But at the same time, the question arises again: "It seems that your first military depot is also extraordinary?"
Yun Jiuxi nodded and said, "The weapons there, without exaggeration, all belong to the best in the world, and only the spars on the national ring can control them.
Xiao Zhanting was surprised, and Yun Jiuxi continued: "We still don't know how the weapons in the arsenal are made, and what kind of technology is used to reach the combat level that is currently impossible to reach in this world.
"A large part of the reason why our cloud country's science and technology can stand at the forefront of the world is because of the research of the military arsenal."
"Although we have not been able to solve those mysteries so far, in the process of research, due to continuous exposure to technologies and materials that are not available elsewhere, we have copied and developed many similar weapons, which are not comparable to the arsenal, but they are by no means worse than any other country."
Such a magical and mysterious "military treasury", Rao Xiao Zhanting was also surprised to hear it.
After Yun Jiuxi finished explaining the military treasury, he also explained the national ring: "As for the national ring, it has been burdened by power struggles of all parties since a hundred years ago, and it is often lost.
"And the last time it appeared in the Cloud Kingdom was fifty years ago, and since then, there has been no trace of the National Ring."
"Because the people have seen too many disputes and casualties caused by the national ring, over time, they do not want to look for it again, nor do they want to mention it again, and they no longer force that the person who has the national ring is the real lord of the country."
"This peace lasted for decades. Until after I succeeded to the throne and before I came here, Qin Shijun, a former great hero of the Yun Kingdom, suddenly found the heirs of the previous lord of the country, said that bloodline is more important than ability, and tried to pull me down and let the son of the previous lord succeed to the throne.
Xiao Zhanting said, "So you have to find the National Ring in order to consolidate your throne."
Yun Jiuxi: "You can also say that. But my challenge at the time was who found it first. That's why I said that Qin Shijun couldn't know where the national ring was, and it couldn't be the person who snatched the national ring in Ivan's hands. As for the rest, I don't have a clue for the time being.
Xiao Zhanting fell silent.
Sure enough, it was a complex and dangerous situation.
Yun Jiuxi told him all the information, and after speaking, she did not move, leaning on the sofa with her legs up, holding her arms, like a monarch examining his subjects, silently examining all his reactions and micro-expressions.
But Xiao Zhanting directly did not notice her abnormality, twisting his brows and thinking silently.
Until he thought of something, he looked up and asked, "Then is there any other way to find your national ring than by appearance?" He suddenly noticed Yun Jiuxi's gaze on him.
And the thick scrutiny in her eyes.
Xiao Zhanting was stunned, for a while, a little helpless: "How?"
Immediately reacted: "You said so much, wouldn't it be just to test me?" Yun
Jiuxi suddenly raised his legs, straight long legs across the sofa half a meter away, from bottom to top, along Xiao Zhanting's legs, all the way to his chest, and then up, the tip of the shoe poked out an automatically rotating curling blade, wrapped his tie.
She tried harder, and before Xiao Zhanting had time to react at all, she pulled her legs in front of her and brought him his whole person over.
If Xiao Zhanting didn't resist, he would have to follow her strength. He leaned over and stumbled forward, holding the edge of the sofa with his long hand before he almost hit Yun Jiuxi.
At the same time, Yun Jiuxi raised one hand and pinched his jaw.
The distance between the two was less than a finger, and Xiao Zhanting didn't even need to lower his head to smell the deadly fragrance on her body and see her face so beautiful that she was close at hand.
However, such a face, but to himself, revealed a signal of vicious danger like a femme fatale.
She squinted slightly, and her lips that were red as blood twitched slightly: "The truth has been told to you..." "
Now, you say, what can I do to ensure that you keep the secret intact?"
- "It's going to kill you... Or..." "
How about poison dumbs, huh?"
