The pirate ship landed on the fallen star smoothly, and since Qi Cheng didn't care about it, Ulysses led people to check the cargo.

The hatch opened, and the pirate captain warmly shook hands with Ulysses, and said, "The cargo is on the cargo ship behind, I'll have someone move it down."

Behind him were several sea-blue-haired Walters, all of whom lowered their heads and remained silent.Ulysses looked at these Walters, and felt something was wrong in his heart, so he asked, "I remember that most of the Walters are on Captain Blue Sea's pirate ship, why are there so many on your ship?"

"Well... Hehe," the pirate captain turned back, "Please explain, my mission is complete."

"Mine is also finished." A familiar voice rang in Ulysses' ears, and there was a cold touch on his neck. At some point, a dagger was pressed against his throat.

"Qi Lan!" Ulysses took the gun reflexively, but the gun that was clearly in his palm disappeared.

He brought a lot of people, and seeing Ulysses being held hostage, those who raised guns raised their guns, and those who wanted to communicate took out communicators, but they didn't know when they were trapped by a water polo.This is a double-layered water polo, with a vacuum between the outer layer and the inner layer, which perfectly isolates the voices and communication signals of the people trapped in the inner layer.

As for the gun, I don't know where it went for a long time.

The leader of the Walter star raised his head, revealing a beautiful face that could almost be called an evildoer. The sea breeze was blowing his long blue hair. He squinted his eyes comfortably and said: "Such a long space voyage, there is no The sea is really uncomfortable. It’s good to choose to land on the coast, and finally feel the breath of the sea.”

Although he didn't want to admit it, the mermaid really couldn't leave the sea for too long.If it takes too long, they will dry up. These days of space travel have made the sea monsters almost irritable.

With a light wave of his hand, countless water balls were thrown into the sea and sank to the bottom of the sea.The sea is dominated by mermaids, as long as they enter the sea, these fighters will not be able to get out no matter how powerful they are.Unless there is such a terrifying power as Irene, but even if it is an evolutionary, how many of them are Tyrannosaurus Rex?

So those fighters were pressed safely on the bottom of the sea like this, unless the mermaid let them go, it was impossible to escape.

Seeing the ocean, the mermaids jumped into the water one after another, their clothes disappeared, and their long legs turned into fish tails. Ulysses almost forgot that he was being kidnapped.

Irene and the others stepped out of the battleship. The pirate captain smiled and said, "I won't stay any longer when things are done, Lan Hai, you have to remember what you promised."

Lan Hai, who had been following behind Xu Ya, nodded, and the pirate captain drove his pirate ship away with confidence.A total of ten spaceships came in this transaction, only the first one belonged to the pirate captain, and the rest were all from the blue ocean. Naturally, they needed spaceships if they wanted to take down the Fallen Star.

"What should we do next?" Irene asked Qi Lan.

Fighting alone, Irene is very powerful in battle, but in terms of formation, she is not as good as Qi Lan, and Qi Lan still needs to decide the strategic layout.

"Let's talk about it first," the sea monster said in the water, "Our combat power can only be brought into full play in the sea. If Qi Cheng and the others don't come to the seaside, I'm afraid I can't tell them to win in one fell swoop. We must lure them here."

This is a troublesome place. The Fallen Star is no better than the Vort galaxy. The buildings are all built on land, and the Fallen Star has 75% of the ocean, and the other 25% is land. If they fight on land, they have almost no advantage. .Just one Irene is strong, not as strong as Qi Cheng's elite soldiers.

And it is almost impossible for Qi Cheng to be fooled and lure him here.Qi Cheng has always had control over the battlefield, and he will not easily leave the battlefield he is familiar with. He will definitely choose to fight on land or in the air.And if he wanted to lure him during the war, he would never be fooled.

"If you can't lure Qi Cheng, don't let him lead this soldier." Qi Lan said, "Let's retreat to the seaside and inform Qi Cheng to exchange Uncle Tan and the psychiatrists for the soldiers we captured. Let's see what Qi Cheng will choose. .”

"You said, did Qi Cheng come here knowing it was a trap in order to save you?" Qi Lan said to Ulysses.

"Even if we die, we will not become a stumbling block to Your Highness!" Ulysses said firmly.

"It's a pity that you can't die, and you don't have the right to choose." Qi Lan knocked Ulysses out, and said to everyone, "I believe in Uncle Tan's ability, since Qi Cheng wants to keep him, the hearts of Fallen Star must be unstable now. .”

Before leaving, he contacted Qi Huan and forced him to ask about Tan Yeran's secret mission for this trip, and only then did he understand why Tan Yeran was put under house arrest.It must be because his provocation succeeded that Qi Cheng was forced to tear himself apart with him.And what he said to Ulysses just now was also a kind of temptation.Ulysses' eyes clearly said that he did not believe that Qi Cheng would take any risk to save him.

In fact, if Qi Cheng saves people by committing a personal risk, he can truly unite people's hearts. If he dares not come, then the Fallen Star will be completely dispersed.

Before Qi Cheng had time to give psychological counseling, he received a message from Ulysses' communicator. When he opened it, it turned out that it was Qi Lan on the screen.

"Qi Cheng, I have no other purpose. I exchanged Uncle Tan and Weiss Group's people for Ulysses and your soldiers, a total of 160, to come to the coastline to trade." This is the message recorded by Qi Lan, and there is no direct dialogue .He used the group sending mode, and except for Qi Cheng, all the contacts on the Ulysses communicator received this message.

In the video, Ulysses was lying on the ground, dead or alive, while the soldiers were missing, not even alive.

Qi Cheng immediately guessed what Qi Lan was thinking, he took the initiative to contact Qi Lan's communicator, and said with a sneer, "Aren't you worried that I will kill these people?"

"You won't," Qi Lan calmly analyzed, "First, I sent the video to everyone, and everyone has seen it. If you kill our people at this time, it means you give up your brother, Fallen Star People who regard you as a god will no longer trust you; second, you want to evolve, no matter what the result of evolution is, you need to talk to them. Choose, Qi Cheng, for your proud subordinate to commit suicide risk, or ignore it.”

The situation is stronger than the people, they now occupy an absolute advantage, and Tan Yeran, who is the hostage exchange, is so powerful that there is no need for conspiracy.

Which of the two choices is a dead end, it depends on what Qi Cheng does.

"Xiaotian, which path do you think Qi Cheng will choose?" Qi Lan said to Yang Xiaotian who had turned into a human form.

Yang Xiaotian tilted his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Qi Cheng won't choose any of them, he won't put himself in danger, and it's impossible for him to let his position in Fallen Star plummet."

"Then what will he do?" Qi Lan believed in Yang Xiaotian's intuition, he frowned, completely unaware of what method Qi Cheng would think of.Compared with the art of war, he is far inferior to Qi Cheng.Qi Cheng has led the imperial army to turn defeat into victory countless times in the face of desperation. His reputation as the god of war is not only based on the shaping of the upper echelon of the empire, but also on his strength.No matter how many flaws he has as a human being, Qi Chengcheng is invincible on the battlefield.

Yang Xiaotian couldn't think of this, but when Qi Lan asked this question, he suddenly thought of someone.

"I think of Qi Dingmao." Yang Xiaotian said straightforwardly.

"Qi Dingmao?" Xu Ya recalled, "The person who helped Qi Cheng deceive the imperial customs, because of his relationship, Ban Yuegang analyzed the wrong information, resulting in the complete annihilation of the three imperial armies..."

"En." Yang Xiaotian nodded, "When he was making bait, his body was transformed into a carat person's appearance, and he has undergone countless human experiments, but he has never complained. He has no doubts about Qi Cheng, even if we He said that Qi Cheng was not good... Even if Qi Cheng killed him, he would think that Qi Cheng had some difficulties."

It was this kind of trust that made Qi Dingmao give up on Qi Cheng, causing the biggest defeat of the imperial army.

"Regarding this matter, the Royal Prison has also investigated. The reason why Qi Cheng was able to escape from the prison was because there was a loyal dead soldier who had been lying in ambush for 20 years in the empire. He finally became a guard of the Royal Prison and changed identities with Qi Cheng. , let Qi Cheng escape." Qi Lan remembered this incident.

"Are you trying to say that Qi Cheng is someone who will push his subordinates out to act as scapegoats?" Irene asked.

"No," Qi Lan shook his head, and Yang Xiaotian's words reminded him, "I overlooked one thing. The two biggest reasons why Qi Cheng became the God of War are these. One is his control over his opponents, the other is He is ruthless enough. And these two points... my father once told me that they are lessons that an emperor must learn."

"Do you need to learn this to be an emperor?"

"Yes, what you need to learn to be an emperor is the way to know how to use people well and how to balance them. To know how to use people well requires you to understand the people you use. To balance is to learn to choose and lose. You get what you deserve, and you give it when you deserve it. So Qi Cheng 21 When he was arrested in 21, he knew he could not escape, so he "give up" and traded his prison for the loyalty of his subordinates. When he escaped from the empire [-] years later, he "give up" those things again Someone who is not particularly loyal to him, in exchange for Fallen Star's time to recuperate. He is an outstanding general, but before that, he was even an outstanding emperor." Qi Lan said.

"Have you learned these things?" Yang Xiaotian asked curiously.

"I didn't learn." Qi Lan replied very simply, "At that time, I felt that my physical condition was not suitable to be an emperor at all. When I was studying this class with other cousins, I kept stealthily skipping class, and no one could catch me. At that time, my father also felt that I was not suitable to be an emperor, so he let me go."

"It's a good thing you didn't learn, otherwise you would become like Qi Cheng, and I would definitely not support you as emperor." Irene said.

"Actually, it's right to learn these things, but you can't be too absolute in life. Qi Cheng has learned all the emperor's skills perfectly, so he has become ruthless, and he only cares about gains and losses in everything, regardless of feelings." Qi Lan sighed, "Talk Uncle once told me that it's not that Qi Cheng didn't trust him, but that he knew that he would not agree with Qi Cheng's actions, so he directly abandoned Tan Shu. He never thought about it from an emotional point of view. He and Tan Shu have such a good relationship. , even if Uncle Tan objects, he should still trust Uncle Tan."

"Is Ulysses someone Qi Cheng can abandon?" Siren noticed the key point.

"No. Ulysses is quite capable. When he was in the First Army, he was in charge of armament work. As the old saying goes, the three armies go first before using food and grass. Ulysses is more important to Qi Cheng than Uncle Tan. He must save Ulysses. But Yang Xiaotian just meant that Qi Cheng might borrow a knife to kill someone this time."

"What do you mean? Yang Xiaotian said that just now?" Irene was puzzled.

The person involved, Yang Xiaotian, was also at a loss, he just suddenly remembered someone.

"It's mainly because his words made me think of something," Qi Lan explained, "Uncle Tan's plan of alienation should have worked, and Qi Cheng already has many people who disagree with him. This time he will definitely bring these things with him." People came to rescue Ulysses, and let us kill his enemies. In this way, he can tell everyone that he is a person who will never give up on any of his subordinates, and he can also get rid of dissidents. And these people who do not obey him , its own strength is not weak, and it should be able to compete with us."

"So he will come, and he will come with purpose and preparation." Irene understood, "This is Qi Cheng's third way."

"He probably will also give a hint to those who have different ideas, that is, whoever successfully rescues Ulysses and others this time will greatly improve his status in the hearts of the Fallen Stars, and may even surpass Qi Cheng. These people with different ideas probably He will try his best to show that he is fighting us, just to establish his status."

"So when the fight really started, Qi Cheng just needs to hide far away and let those people come up and fight hard, and he can kill two birds with one stone." The sea monster also understood.

"This is Qi Cheng's 'sacrifice' and 'ruthlessness', and the reason why he was able to win the battle." Qi Lan analyzed, "Then, how should we deal with it next?"

"Will he bring Tan Yeran here?" Siren asked.

Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian.

Yang Xiaotian, who was under pressure, answered after thinking: "No."

Qi Cheng will not give up the benefits that Tan Yeran and the psychiatrist have brought to Fallen Star, he will never let Qi Lan and the others really have a chance to rescue Tan Yeran.In fact, this time he came here, he didn't have the intention of exchanging, he just wanted to show the people of Fallen Star that he was someone who was willing to put a knife in both sides of his brother, and he also wanted to eliminate dissidents.

"Isn't he afraid that we will kill Ulysses in anger?" the sea monster asked puzzled.

"He's really not afraid." Qi Lan raised his forehead, "I said that Qi Cheng understands people's characters. For people like me and Irene, Ulysses has helped us. We can't abuse or Kill him. And as long as it is not on the real battlefield, we will not kill the imperial people, let alone kill prisoners."

"It's all counted by him, what should we do?" Irene asked.

"You and I stay here with the mermaid to deal with Qi Lan, Yang Xiaotian and the sea monster will take advantage of Qi Cheng's absence to rescue Tan Yeran!" After thinking for a long time, Qi Lan made this decision with difficulty.

This is the best way to distribute.
