Chapter 316 Persuading Two People
The sea breeze gently blows the grass and trees on the shore, making a rustling sound.
The little koi kept Shen Li's instructions in mind. Shortly after she, Nangong Qi and Su Ran left, he found the right time, walked out from his hiding place, and pretended to have just returned.
He raised his hand and gently stroked his long beard, then deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Where is my beloved disciple?"
The people around were stunned at first, but then they came to their senses, their faces full of awe, and they shouted in unison: "Greetings, old immortal!"
The guards brought by Nangong Qi looked at each other with confusion and surprise in their eyes. They wondered in their hearts, are there really gods in this Beichen land?
Although he had his doubts, in this solemn atmosphere, he couldn't help but bow respectfully along with everyone else.
Shen Shaodong smiled widely as he quickly stepped forward, bowed to Xuanfeng Sanren, and said respectfully, "Old Immortal, Ah Li has gone to the beach with Young Master Nangong to see the sea. I believe she will be back soon."
There was a hint of flattery and respect in his tone, and his eyes flashed with respect and expectation for this "old immortal", as if the Xuanfeng Sanren in front of him really possessed extraordinary mysterious powers that could bring them welfare and protection.
While Shen Shaodong was chatting with Xuanfeng Sanren, he was secretly thinking in his heart: "I must not mess up this matter that my daughter has repeatedly urged me to do.
Ahri has always been very intelligent. Since she made such arrangements, she must have her own deep meaning.
I have to cooperate well and perform this play properly, so as not to disappoint her or let others see any flaws."
Thinking of this, he straightened his back slightly, and the smile on his face looked more sincere and warm. From time to time, his eyes looked in the direction where Shen Li left at the beach, hoping that she would come back soon and everything would go smoothly as planned.
The sun shone on the beach, stretching the figures of the three people into long lines as they walked aimlessly forward.
I thought of the scene I saw in Mosa where overseas bandits attacked the four countries.
Shen Li suddenly stopped and said solemnly, "Have you ever studied the history of hundreds of years ago? Today, by chance, we are able to meet together. I have something very important to tell you two."
Hearing this, Nangong Qi and Su Ran couldn't help but look at each other, with doubts in their eyes, and then they all turned their gaze to Shen Li, waiting for her next words.
Shen Li raised her head slightly, facing the sea breeze, and spoke slowly: "I believe you have all seen the map in the hands of the new emperor Li Chen. In fact, that is the current territory of our four countries. To be more precise, it is the national map when we were unified. In the long river of history, the four countries were originally one."
As the prince of Xiqi, Nangong Qi naturally knew something about the map that was said to have been obtained in a dream.
He frowned and said nonchalantly, "So what if we were once one country? Now the four countries are competing against each other. They have lived in peace for many years. Wouldn't it be better for each of them to govern themselves?"
Su Ran stood quietly by the side, without interrupting, but just staring at Shen Li intently, waiting patiently for her to continue.
Shen Li raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and said: "I also have a copy of that map, and it is a more accurate and detailed version. In addition, I also have a world map.
What I want to express is that the land occupied by our four countries now originally belonged to the same country. The current situation is unpredictable and overseas enemies are eyeing us covetously. Only when the four countries unite as one can we resist foreign enemies and maintain peace in our Chinese land.
If we continue to fight on our own, we will all be in imminent danger if an external enemy invades. You should understand the principle that if one loses the lips, the teeth will be cold."
Shen Li's eyes revealed determination and worry. She was well aware of the impact of this news, and hoped that the two of them could understand its deep meaning and work together for the future of this vast land.
As he spoke, Shen Li handed two maps to each of them with a solemn expression.
Nangong Qi reached out to take it, his eyes fell on the maps, and saw four big words "China Map" written on one of them. Looking at the other one, the big words "World Map" came into view.
His eyes widened instantly, his face filled with astonishment, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "It turns out that besides our four countries, there are so many other countries!"
Su Ran also had a serious expression on his face as he carefully studied the map in his hand. After listening to Nangong Qi's words, he nodded in agreement and said with a hint of worry in his tone, "The pirate attack that day may have seemed accidental, but now it seems that no one can guarantee that more people won't find this place by following the trail in the future. We must not let our guard down."
Shen Li also looked serious and nodded vigorously, then said: "That's right, so what we have to do now is to take preventive measures in advance. The most urgent task is to build a strong navy and vigorously manufacture sturdy and durable ships.
Only in this way can we have enough strength to respond to those invaders who may appear at any time, protect our homes, and safeguard the territories of our four countries and the peace of our people."
There was determination in her eyes, as if she had already seen the future naval fleet that would traverse the four seas and defend the country, braving the wind and waves to guard the land they loved so much.
Shen Li frowned slightly, her gaze shifting from Nangong Qi to Su Ran, then she slowly scanned the surrounding sea. She spoke in a sincere and resolute tone, "Our four nations share the same roots and were once one. Now, facing numerous potential threats from overseas, the last thing we should do is consume each other internally and fight against each other. If we continue like this, it will only bring sorrow to our loved ones and joy to our enemies, giving those overseas enemies with ill intentions an opportunity to take advantage."
She paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "What we should really do is put aside our past grudges and unite. We should pool the military, material, and financial resources of the four countries and unleash their greatest strength."
Let skilled craftsmen from all countries work together to create the most sophisticated weapons; let wise men and talents from all over the world work together to formulate the most comprehensive strategy to defend against the enemy;
Let the people of the four countries unite as one and become our strongest support. Only in this way can we stand firm in the face of future crises, protect our common home, and allow the people of this land to continue to live and work in peace and contentment.
After hearing her words, Nangong Qi and Su Ran fell into deep thought. The sea breeze blew gently, as if urging them to seriously consider this decision that concerned the fate of the four countries.
Shen Li sighed slightly and thought silently in his heart: "This is a national event that concerns the survival of the four countries. I have told them so sincerely. I think it should attract the attention of these two people.
As for me, I don't have any big ambitions. I just hope to stay by my father's side and that our family will be safe and sound.
Then, relying on your own abilities, you can make your family's life more and more prosperous, make a fortune, and live a stable life. That will be enough.
I never thought I would be caught up in such a complicated situation. However, for the sake of this land and my family and friends, I can only do my best to promote this matter. I just hope that everything will go smoothly in the future."
She looked up at the distant sea level, her eyes showing both expectations for the future and a hint of helplessness.
