Chapter 934
Geshu Tang swirled his wine glass, “Little Jiushu, if I’m not mistaken, you were only twelve years old back then, right? Have you developed yet?”
“So the physiological structure of mermaids is completely different from that of ordinary people. Is there a problem?” Ye Xingguang decided to firmly cling to the support of the great magnate Mo and bluffed without changing her facial expression.
Geshu Tang laughed, “Of course there’s no problem. But I remember, the young magnate Mo started establishing the Galaxy Corporation in the imperial capital nine years ago.”
“So this further proves that the physiological structure of mermaids is completely different from that of ordinary people. Can’t you understand that?”
Geshu Tang’s indifferent gaze fell on Mo Yinhe, “So, what you mean, Little Jiushu, is that the young magnate Mo is also a mermaid.”noveldrama
Ye Xingguang raised her glass to Geshu Tang, the corners of her mouth curving slightly, “Like father, like son.”
Even though he knew she was talking nonsense, he was impressed by her fluent responses. Geshu Tang raised his glass too, took a sip, and did not continue to press the matter.
Just then, outside the grand hall, a guard rushed in in a hurry, shouting, “Your Highness, the Queen, something terrible has happened. Over a hundred military submersibles have suddenly appeared in the skies over the imperial capital. I heard… I heard… it is said that King Ye’s son, upon learning that his father was innocently shot and killed at the banquet, has brought in a large army. He openly declared that if the culprits are not handed over, they will bombard the imperial capital.”
In the grand hall of the royal banquet, where everything was peaceful and joyful, the guests immediately became panicked, whispering to each other and blameful gazes were directed toward Mo Yinhe on the stage.
Ye Xingguang, noticing the accusatory gazes from everyone, slammed her wine glass on the table in front of her and scolded loudly, “What’s the panic? The sky has not fallen! It’s just a bunch of rebels. Has the military defense of the imperial capital weakened to the point where it can’t even block a group of rebels?”
The military defense of the imperial capital was Geshu Tang’s responsibility. Hearing this, he slightly furrowed his brows but his tone was still calm, “Of course it’s impenetrable.”
Hearing Geshu Tang’s words, everyone felt a bit more at ease.
However, there were those who looked forward to the turmoil, eager for schadenfreude, like Cao Jianyu, who sat poised in his seat.
The distress signal was sent by him just now. This time, if Ye Weiqiang dares to publicly oppose Muya Jiushu’s ascension to the throne in the imperial capital, it surely wouldn’t just be verbal dissent; his troops had long been secretly amassed and ready to strike at any moment. Whether the defense can be penetrated or not, we’ll only know after they attack!
Indeed, Fourth Elder Quan Ji raised a question: “Third Elder, if the defense is impenetrable, how is it possible that over a hundred military submersibles already hovering over the imperial capital went undetected?”
Second Elder Ying Shikang also frowned deeply, questioning: “How could the imperial capital’s military defense allow over a hundred military submersibles to appear in the skies above? It’s practically making the imperial capital a live target. If the military submersibles launch torpedoes, the imperial capital wouldn’t withstand being bombed!”
Great Elder Bai Qiuhe also posed a question, “Ordinarily, let alone military submersibles entering the airspace of the imperial capital, even when reaching the maximum firing range, there would be an early warning system to either drive them away or shoot them down. Now, the enemy has brought the military submersibles directly above us and you’re still talking about impenetrable defenses! Your Highness, the Queen, we absolutely cannot adopt an blindly optimistic attitude. We must immediately take countermeasures to turn hostility into peace; otherwise, the imperial capital is in jeopardy.”
There were guests timid as mice, who lacked the courage and clamored, “The military power of the Kalithea Principalities has always been strong. King Ye’s third son, Ye Tianfan, is even more a military fanatic. Now that King Ye’s life hangs by a thread, Ye Tianfan will surely not let it go. If he goes crazy and orders all military submersibles to fire torpedoes at the same time, the imperial capital will surely be blown to smithereens! It’s all… it’s all Mo Yinhe’s fault, hand him over! I don’t want to die in an explosion!”
