Above the stars

Phoenix was angry, looked at Zhong Tianque and said: "The Tang bandit's mechanical beast was destroyed. If he is punished for this, wouldn't it be too unfair to him?"

"However, the rules of the Tiandao Exchange Meeting do prohibit off-site fighting." Zhong Tianque frowned slightly and said aloud. "If we don't even comply with the clearly stated regulations, how can this game be fair and just?"

"We are the organizer, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us. We cannot lose our original position just to protect one person."

"What I represent is not myself but the Phoenix Empire and countless citizens."

"We cannot let people point their fingers at us and accuse us of breaking the rules and not being honest. The dignity of a great country must still be maintained."

He didn't like his sister standing up to defend Tang Bandit, which gave him the feeling of always being on the opposite side of him.

He came on behalf of the royal family and the Phoenix Empire.

He not only wanted to ensure the complete success of this exchange meeting, but also ensured that it was fair and just.

Therefore, every decision must be well-founded and convincing.

Tang Bandit punched Gu Bai in front of so many people, shouldn't he be punished?

What did he do wrong?

"Brother, you are the prince of the Phoenix Empire and a representative sent by the royal family. The first thing you have to think about is what your own people will think, not what the people of the Os Empire will think."

"Tang Bandit's mechanical beast was destroyed by their despicable means. He clearly had a chance to win the championship. In desperation, he had a conflict with that despicable villain. Isn't it human nature? Who has encountered such a thing? not going to be mad?"

"Besides, before the game started, I saw Prince Philip went to find that Cooper. I don't know what he said to Cooper, and then Cooper chose to self-destruct even though he knew that the rules did not allow it."

"Why are you talking about such baseless things?" Zhong Tianque glanced at Fenghuang and scolded him.

Philip is the prince of the Ossian Empire, so there is nothing wrong with him going to cheer for the contestants before the competition.

If you have evidence that he is cheating, you can correct him openly.

However, without evidence, as a princess of the Phoenix Empire, it would be inappropriate to say such things.

Philip has a special status, and Phoenix's words can easily cause disputes between the two countries.

This is not what Zhong Tianque wants to see.

"Brother, think about it, Gubai has already lost this battle, and then the Hydra of the Os Empire will face off against our giant pandas and golden-armored unicorns. With one against two, they have no chance of winning. No matter what, The champion of the mecha competition should belong to our Phoenix Empire."

"Did they use such a move to change the situation? Are our giant pandas sure of winning against Hydra alone?"

"Do you think I don't know what you said?" Zhong Tianque said in a deep voice: "But Tang Bandit beat someone in front of so many people. According to the rules and regulations, should he be punished? ?”

"Brother, have you ever thought that most of the time, public opinion is not the same. You have to consider the thoughts of the people of Phoenix first, and then consider the thoughts of the people of Os. You can't sacrifice your country just to satisfy them. interests of citizens."

"How do their ideas and attitudes affect you? If you can first take care of the interests and emotions of the citizens of your own country, you will get more love and respect."

"I know that you don't like Bandit Tang, and his status is not as important as Prince Philip. But in the face of the national interests of right and wrong, you can reason with them without being unreasonable."

"Tell your conscience, was Tang Bandit framed by them?"

Zhong Tianque was silent for a long time, then turned to look at the members of the referee team and said: "The Tang bandits had a reason for beating people. It was because the other party broke the rules first and maliciously damaged his mechanical beast. The referee team decided not to deal with it."

"Your Highness is wise." Si Yinchuan said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"We will reply to the Ost Empire delegation right away."

"It's just that they broke the rules and were really shameless in order to win the game."

"Anyway, we have a video of them self-destructing. If they really want to make things bigger, we will release the video and let everyone comment."

——

Seeing that everyone accepted his verdict, Zhong Tianque nodded, turned around and walked towards the guest seats.

Si Yinchuan gave a thumbs up to Phoenix. This little princess from the imperial family was extraordinary. She was much better than his two brothers.

He is affectionate and righteous, wise and good at making decisions. He is really a good seedling.

It's a pity that she is a girl.

Soon, the referee team announced the decision result through the stadium broadcast.

Phillip's expression changed slightly, but he couldn't say much.

He knew that the matter was really serious and they couldn't handle it.

After all, Gu Bai broke the rules and destroyed other people's mechanical beasts first.

However, such results are also included in their calculations.

Anyway, Tang Bandit's golden-armored unicorn has been destroyed, even if he is allowed to continue playing.

What does he use to compare? Play on your own?

——

In the mechanical maintenance room, Tang Bandit was testing the internal circuitry of the mechanical beast.

Phoenix walked in and asked with concern: "How is it? Can it be fixed?"

"Do your best." Tang Bandit said with a smile.

"How can you still laugh?" Phoenix said angrily: "Why did you do it in front of everyone? Don't you know that under the rules of heaven, fighting outside the field will be punished. The delegation of the Austrian Empire has already reported to the referee The team made serious protests, but fortunately my brother withstood the pressure and did not agree to their rude demands."

"It's not your brother who withstood the pressure, it's you who interceded for me, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

"I know your brother, and I know you." Tang Bandi looked at Fenghuang with affectionate eyes and said aloud.

"My brother is like this. He always does things in a disciplined manner. He always tries not to make mistakes and does everything as comprehensively as possible."

"But he doesn't know that if he wants to sit in that position, he has to make mistakes in politics. It's the art of making mistakes. You have to make mistakes yourself, and you have to allow people around you to make mistakes. If everyone doesn't make mistakes, how terrible is this country?"

"The reason why he doesn't allow me to make mistakes, maybe he doesn't like me." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "Prince Philip and I don't care about our status. If we can make things beautiful, what does it mean to sacrifice me?"

"That's not the case." Phoenix shook his head and said, "You are a Phoenix citizen and you are fighting for honor for the country. You and Philip are not equal in terms of status, but in terms of position, you are much more important than him."

"At this time, everything you do is for the good of the Phoenix Empire. And Philip is trying every means to cause destruction."

"As for making everyone like this kind of thing, no matter what we do, they will not like us. Because everyone is inherently hostile. Who will trust their enemies?"

Tang Bandit sighed softly and said, "It would be great if you could sit in that position."

Fenghuang's face changed slightly, he looked around, looked at Tang Bandit and whispered, "Don't say such words in the future as it will bring you trouble."

"I know." Tang Bandit said, "I'm not stupid."

"You're not stupid. How could you hit someone in front of so many people if you're not stupid? According to your way of doing things, you should secretly put laxatives into his food."

Tang Bandit looked at Fenghuang seriously and said, "I will solemnly explain to you again that it was really not me who caused your brother's diarrhea."

"Who said anything about that? I said, forget it, don't think too much about it. I didn't mean to accuse you."

"I didn't know there was such a rule." Tang Bandit looked at Phoenix and explained aloud: "I have never read the rules and regulations of the Tiandao Exchange Meeting, and I don't know much about them."

"I saw that he deliberately destroyed my golden-armored unicorn. How could I bear it? He punched me directly. I originally wanted to kick him a few more times, but he was stopped."

"Besides, according to the rules of our old land, this kind of behavior is a life-and-death feud. It must be bloody. How can it be solved by reluctantly apologizing? If I don't punch him, he won't have to Take no responsibility for this matter."

"After I return, I can still get Philip's attention. I feel that he is sacrificing for the country and he won't make me feel comfortable. How can I make him feel comfortable?"

"I'm going to wait until they leave to apologize to Cooper. If I can get first place in the mechanical competition, the apology effect will be even better."

"I understand what you're thinking, and I think you did the right thing. However, your mechanical beast was destroyed by them. Even if you are not disqualified from the competition now, you don't have to apologize for the fight."

"But, your mechanical beast is severely damaged and can't move at all. How can you get first place in the mechanical competition if you can't play?"

"I'll tell you a secret." Tang Bandit said.

"What secret?" Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit and asked.

"Put your ear closer to me." Tang Bandit said.

So, Fenghuang took two steps forward and stood stiffly in front of Tang Bandit.

The two were so close, looking at each other, as if they could hear each other's breathing.

Phoenix's pretty face turned red, her heart was beating hard, and her voice seemed to be trembling when she spoke, and she asked aloud, "What secret?"

So Tang Bandit put his mouth close to Phoenix's ear and whispered something.

"Really?" Phoenix's pupils swelled and he looked at Tang Bandit in disbelief.

"Really." Tang Bandit nodded.

Phoenix's long eyelashes blinked, and his eyes were as bright as stars. He looked at Tang Bandit and asked, "What I don't understand is that there are only two of us in the maintenance room. Why do you want me to come closer and whisper?"

Tang Bandit looked at Fenghuang and said loudly: "Because I like to talk in your ear."
