Chapter 1752: Wall Grass and Giant Sea Clam

~7 min read 1,268 words

"Hearing Li Ang..."

Looking at the Carriage number that had sunk to the bottom after moving less than two hundred meters, Veronica, who was wearing a bathrobe and standing on the lifeboat, couldn't help but tighten Hearing Li Ang's old coat, reached out and took Hearing Li Ang's palm, and asked with some worry:

"Although this Carriage number is only a trial product of the Ship Research Institute, its safety is absolutely guaranteed. As a result, it sank just after moving a position... I feel this is probably not a simple accident, maybe it's aimed at us!"

"Er..."

"Could it be that Miss Wendy is not reconciled to leaning toward us like this, so she sent the Sea Clan to secretly do something? Or are the other five kingdoms wanting to rely on sinking the ship to hold us back, and are planning something in private?"

"..."

This... I can only say that you probably think too much...

Looking at the 【Big Ship Man and Woman】 that had just darkened on the badge panel, Hearing Li Ang's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He didn't have the face to tell her that it was probably his own pot, and turned to vaguely say:

"It shouldn't be that extreme... Could it really be just an accident?

Think about it, our watertight cabin was already damaged by that salted fish queen before, and many sailors had bad stomachs yesterday, resulting in a lack of manpower to operate the ship. When moving the position, there was a mistake, and the position was a bit horizontal when retreating.

Plus there was a small surge tide behind, and the ship that was in a hurry to enter the port docked too close, was brought by the water flow of the surge tide, and directly arched on the cracked side of the Carriage number, and then the watertight cabin entered a lot of water, and the ship was directly... well, this accident is indeed a bit too accidental."

Finding that the situation was getting darker and darker, and Veronica's eyes looking at him were getting more and more wrong, the prince who pitted the Carriage number had to click his tongue and said with a straight face:

"Defense of others is indispensable. Even if it is really just an accident, we should also guard against it."

"I think so too."

After staring at Hearing Li Ang for a while, Queen Veronica withdrew her suspicious gaze and turned to say:

"Hearing Li Ang, you should have seen the attitude of my aunt, right?"

"Hmm."

Tightening the coat on Veronica to block the cold night wind of the port, Hearing Li Ang nodded thoughtfully:

"It was hard to determine at first, but it was very obvious later. Either she didn't want to support us from the beginning, or something happened that made her suddenly change her mind."

"It should be the latter."

After couldn't help but look at Hearing Li Ang, Veronica leaned back, leaned in his arms and analyzed gently:

"Compared to the monarch who decides the fate of a country, my distant aunt is more like a shrewd businessman. She is accurate in looking at people, has a long-term vision, is unusually sensitive to changes in the situation and her own situation, and can always find the one that is most beneficial to herself in the complex situation."

"However, this business quality, although it makes her welcome on both sides, also limits her vision, making her more accustomed to focusing on commercial means and interest distribution, and always waiting for the situation to be clear before betting, sometimes it is a bit..."

"Wall grass? Wind blowing on both sides?" "Ha! Almost!"

Being amused by Hearing Li Ang's appropriate metaphor, Queen Veronica shrank into his arms, then nodded:

"She is indeed a wall-grass-like personality, but she is a bit different from wall grass. It's not that she follows whichever side the wind is strong, but is accustomed to maintaining the balance of the situation, ensuring a situation where both sides need her support, but dare not force her to lean toward them."

"Simply put, it is keen on detaching itself from the situation, wanting to become the last weight that can completely decide which side the balance leans toward, so as to sell itself at the most expensive price with the smallest payment."

Understood, standard opportunist.

After a look of realization appeared in his eyes, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head:

"Your aunt has a good plan, but this time her plan is probably going to fail completely."

"Yes."

After nodding slightly, Veronica grabbed Hearing Li Ang's hand around her waist, rubbed his slightly rough palm subconsciously, and shook her head:

"If we and the five kingdoms on that side were only fighting for benefits and ruling status, then Aunt Lena's plan to welcome both sides could not be said to be wrong."

"But what you really want to fight for this time is something far broader than benefits and status, and you didn't prepare to start from the place she is most familiar with, then her little thoughts will..." "Hmm?"

Just halfway through, seemingly discovering something wrong, Veronica couldn't help but raise her head in surprise, looking at the slightly dim harbor, and long before she looked over, Hearing Li Ang had already stood up in advance, squinting and looking at the sea ship that surfaced, or... giant clam shell?

"Wendy!"

Looking at the salted fish miss brought over by two clam women, a middle-aged beauty with a fish tail took the initiative to greet her, patting the giant pearl floating under her.

"You child!"

After looking at the gray dust on her coat, which looked a bit gray, the mermaid beauty took out a handkerchief like a gauze scarf, wiped the dust on her body, and said with blame:

"I told you not to rush, just follow the ship of the Saiao Kingdom, but you just wouldn't listen. Look at how dirty you are!"

"Mother..."

Grabbing the middle-aged mermaid's hand and stopping her from continuing to wipe her face, the salted fish miss couldn't help but argue:

"I have to come early because there is not much time! The day after tomorrow is the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly. Other kingdoms with plans have already found allies, and even set the alliance."

"If I don't rush, like the people of the Saiao Kingdom, and arrive until tomorrow night, then when I arrive, what should be discussed will be over. At that time, whether it is the Saiao Kingdom or us, we will definitely suffer a big loss at the assembly!"

"Still not suffering a loss?"

Throwing the handkerchief on the salted fish miss's face, letting her wipe her face herself, the mermaid beauty couldn't help but poke her forehead hard, half angry and half scared:

"I shouldn't have listened to your Uncle Andy and let you be that broken queen! I should have just locked you at home! Look at you on this road... how dangerous!"

"That is the God of Cookery! The Earth Descendants in the Earth's core were killed by him more than a hundred times when they met him in the Northern Kingdom! It is said that the True Gods who died in the hands of the God of Cookery piled up into a small mountain directly in the Death Realm!"

"You still don't suffer a loss... let alone suffering a loss, you can still come back to see me intact now, without letting that God of Cookery bite off half to taste, it is already a big profit, okay?"
