Chapter 1118 Ye Fox's "Overall" Plan
Empress Zhu's ears twitched slightly; she heard the name of the Frost Sword Saint.
She had heard many stories about this famous Frost Sword Saint, most of which were related to Xu Jiujiu.
In popular lore, the Frost Sword Saint is said to be someone even the Empress could not obtain.
But what interested Empress Zhu was not these gossip stories, but a grand yet outrageous plan that the Frost Sword Saint had once mentioned.
"Jiujiu, what are your thoughts on Mr. Ye's overall plan?"
After a long while, his expression changed slightly, as if he was troubled, sad, and hesitant.
When she first heard about Ye Nanxiao's overall plan, she was shocked and puzzled.
After Ye Nanxiao explained the advantages and disadvantages of the overall plan to her in detail, she hesitated again.
The benefits were numerous, far exceeding her initial expectations.
However, the most obvious downside is that if the Empire joins the Alliance, it will have to open up its permissions. Then, will she, the Star Luo Empress, still be the Star Luo Empress?
The emperor's power must never be tainted or threatened in any way.
This overall plan is like dancing on a long-standing sensitive nerve.
Even though Ye Nanxiao explained that the alliance would not directly weaken the emperor's interests, there would still be losses.
What made him hesitate for a long time was the interoperability of soul tool technology, especially soul tool technology for civilian use.
Civilian medical device versions of charged soul guides, soul guide levitation trains, soul guide medical equipment, long-distance soul guide communication technology, etc.
These are all good things that can enable the empire to enter a period of rapid development.
Moreover, if she doesn't want it, what if other empires take it, widening the gap between them and Xingluo?
She is the Star Luo Empress, bearing the hopes of all the people of the Star Luo Empire.
If the overall strength and living standards of the people of the Star Luo Empire could be improved, and they could quickly catch up with the Sun Moon Empire, it would be a good thing, but it is also where she hesitated.
An emperor is the emperor of an empire, but also the emperor of the people. The star crown protects the people of the empire, not the fading glory of the royal family.
Empress Zhu noticed the hesitation on Xu Jiujiu's face, but she didn't show much emotion.
"Jiujiu, if the alliance is formed, will we still be ourselves?"
"Sister-in-law, are you against this plan?"
After a long time, he understood what Empress Zhu meant; she did not think highly of the plan.
"For a long time, our Xingluo and Tiandou once dominated the continent, each thinking of devouring the other, and the war was endless, but we never lost too much territory. Do you know why?" Empress Zhu said.
As an empress, Xu Jiujiu was naturally familiar with the history of the empire.
Before the Sun Moon Empire existed, the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire was always chaotic.
There are frequent clashes between the armies, but they are always minor skirmishes, and there are never any large-scale territorial losses or soldier deaths.
Because at that time, there was a huge organization called the Spirit Hall.
The power of the emperors of the two countries was not even as great as that of the Spirit Hall.
The number of Soul Masters in the Spirit Hall is several times that of the two empires. At the same time, the Spirit Hall acts domineeringly, monopolizing the awakening of the Spirit Masters in the empires and almost completely monopolizing talent. They don't even need to give face to the emperors.
This is the common enemy of the two great empires.
Only a powerful common enemy can make two countries put aside their prejudices and work together.
Empress Zhu's meaning was limited to this point.
Is the purpose of forming alliances merely for exchange and development?
How should we handle resource allocation and the exchange of benefits?
If it's unfair, the alliance will be a mere shell.
It's even possible that the conflict will be even worse than it is now.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu shook her head slightly, bit her red lips, and said, "I will find some time to ask him in detail, sister-in-law. He has never been one to make empty promises."
Empress Zhu smiled slightly and reached out to take the hand she had been holding for a long time. "Sister-in-law just had some doubts that she hadn't figured out, so she came to ask you. I also trust the person your elder brother values."
After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief and buried his head in Empress Zhu's arms.
For emperors, emotions are superfluous, but for Xu Jiujiu, emotions are very precious.
Empress Zhu gently stroked Xu Jiujiu's beautiful hair, her eyes filled with affection.
She cherished Xu Jiujiu very much.
She was grateful to Ye Nanxiao for intervening during the last palace turmoil, but one thing at a time, matters of the empire could not be mixed with emotions.
That's why she subtly reminded Xu Jiujiu what Ye Nanxiao's purpose was.
Was the union of the two continents merely for the purpose of achieving greater technological breakthroughs?
However, this kind of alliance certainly won't last long.
For an alliance to last, there must be a common enemy.
Evil Soul Master?
Empress Zhu fell into deep thought. If it weren't for the previous invasion of the palace, she wouldn't have believed that the power of the evil spirit masters had secretly grown to such a terrifying extent.
The Star Luo Imperial Palace was just a hair's breadth away from falling.
"If it was an evil spirit master, that makes sense. Even the Shrek Academy's inspection team was tricked." She muttered to herself.
"Some members of the clan mentioned before that Zhu Wan and Zhu Lu, these two juniors, seem to have some connection with Ye Nanxiao. Perhaps we could allocate some resources to see if we can forge a relationship with them."
Ye Nanxiao, who was being talked about by everyone, was currently being bombarded with soul-guided communications.
"I'm working myself to the bone here! And you, you little fox, all you do is bully Nan Nan all day! Hurry up and finish your work so you can come help Sister Xiao Tao!"
Ye Nanxiao held the soul communication device, his face full of a helpless smile of having been caught red-handed.
He left the Star Dou Great Forest with the little rabbit, intending to return to Shrek City to pick up some things and visit Elder Yi.
They had just flown along the official road to a village and were about to rest when Ma Xiaotao called.
"Sister Tao, I'm on my way back to the Tang Clan to bring you some Spider Tracking Landmines. I haven't been slacking off," Ye Nanxiao said.
He knew most of the current situation of Ma Xiaotao leading the Shrek Supervision Team.
There were many evil spirit masters, many of whom were highly skilled and adept at escaping, thus outmaneuvering the monitoring team.
Old Song, who was with the team, was too busy to be in two places at once, but he still managed to remove one of the magic altars.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Really? Then hurry up and come! And bring a survival tent with you. I've been catching mice in the mountains for days and I'm really looking forward to a nice bath!" Ma Xiaotao said excitedly.
"Okay, okay, what else do you need to bring?" Ye Nanxiao asked with a smile, secretly planning to pack everything from home when he got back.
With Elder Song secretly protecting them, and Ma Xiaotao having already broken through to the Title Douluo level and possessing the Ultimate Flame, coupled with the Tang Sect's full set of combat equipment, and the accompanying team members being experienced inner court disciples, such as Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming, the inspection team could be said to be armed to the teeth and accompanied by powerful backers.
Therefore, Ma Xiaotao and the others were somewhat casual.
Holding Jiang Nannan's little hand, Ye Nanxiao listened to Ma Xiaotao's rambling, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He is now starting to think about when to make the Ye family a big tree, with branches and leaves.
Just as he was thinking about how to expand the glory of the Ye family, the communication soul guide device in his arms suddenly vibrated.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the surrounding environment. Zhengtian City was not far away, and they had just entered the range of another signal line.
They actually bypassed the Sunset Forest and the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Ye Nanxiao gestured to Jiang Nannan, pointing to his arms. The latter immediately understood that the fox had something to do again, and then landed on the plain with Ye Nanxiao.
Zhengtian City has benefited from the Ye family's long-term management and the resource support from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
Like the Aodu Building, Yuheng Tower became a landmark building in Zhengtian City, replacing the original mascot, Zhengtian Academy.
As Ye Ling Shuang was chosen, the Ye family's status was elevated significantly. It could be said that, apart from the City Lord's Mansion on the surface, Ye Ling Shuang had completely become the actual master of Zheng Tian City.
Yuheng Tower controls the economic lifeline and nearly two-thirds of the resources of Zhengtian City.
Ye Nanxiao led Jiang Nannan across the floating ice to the gate of Zhengtian City. The huge city gate, which used to be made of piled-up stones and then carved twice, has now been transformed into a steel gate with reinforced concrete, and paved roads lead in all directions.
"Is this Zhengtian City? How come it has changed so much?" Jiang Nannan looked around curiously, as it was very different from the traditional city she remembered.
While many buildings retain the traditional architectural style of the Heavenly Soul Empire, many more steel structures are in the style of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Ah Xiao, you bought this city?" Jiang Nannan asked.
The combination of traditional style and reinforced concrete is Ye Nanxiao's usual architectural style.
"I don't have that much private money. Buying a city isn't something money can buy. I've just invested funds in its development."
"See that coolest building? Our organization funded its construction."
Jiang Nannan looked at Yuheng Tower. Having memorized the information about the Fox Organization, she immediately recognized that Yuheng Tower was the organization's third hub.
She had seen pictures of Yuheng Tower, but those were interior views; the exterior was a distant photograph. Now that she was up close, she didn't recognize it at first glance.
Ye Ling Shuang was already waiting at the secret entrance of Yuheng Tower. She had been informed by the Ye family's spies and the organization's communications.
"Yuanyuan, what do you think of my hairstyle today? Does it match my clothes? Don't these shoes look weird?"
Ye Yuan, who served as Ye Ling Shuang's secretary, rolled her eyes at Ye Ling Shuang and said, "Hey, Master, can you stop wasting your energy? I heard that the Grand Inspector came with his family this time, he brought his wife."
Ye Yuan only knew that Ye Nanxiao was a high-ranking figure in the organization, but she did not know that he was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Ye Ling Shuang never revealed a single clue; only she knew a corner of Ye Nan Xiao's territory.
Upon hearing this, the light in Ye Ling Shuang's eyes dimmed, but she quickly cheered herself up again.
If you can't have the principal wife, then become a concubine.
As long as I can stay by my master's side, I don't care about my identity!
Ye Ling Shuang has become obsessed. On the night she was saved, she was attracted by Ye Nan Xiao and then became hopelessly immersed in him.
Ye Yuan glanced at Ye Ling Shuang with concern. She knew the head of the household well; he liked to overthink things.
