The day flies by in a blink of an eye, and it’s time to sneak around in the middle of the night.
Zhou Xingyun is no longer lonely tonight, because of Little Isabel's kind invitation to stay, and with the tacit approval of the three princes, Wei Suyao and Seluvinia can stay overnight at Little Isabel's residence.
In other words, even if Zhou Xingyun lets them go again tonight, Wei Suyao and Seluvinia don't have to eat the northwest wind outside.
Wei Suyao and Seluvinia were in little Isabel's bedroom tonight, chatting with her sisters by candlelight.
Admittedly, this is all to facilitate tonight's rescue operation!
Zhou Xingyun believed that Seluvinia would definitely take this opportunity to tell little Isabel their plan of action.
Huh? What is Zhou Xingyun’s plan, you ask? In addition to sudden sudden changes, is there any need for more nonsense?
As mentioned before, with three ancient and modern masters, plus five quasi-ancient and modern masters, with such terrifying combat power, there is no need to formulate any plan? Start early and end the work early! Just do it!
After all, the situation in Nova City was different from when Zhou Xingyun and his party were in the Principality of Cheryl. Little Isabel was alone.
Zhou Xingyun and his party of nine could not protect the hundreds of little girls in the paradise, so he did not dare to act rashly and start a fight with the Aisilance Empire casually.
Little Isabel was alone, and it was too easy to protect her. It was even easier to save her from Nova City, so Zhou Xingyun didn't have to think hard when doing things, and he did it as quickly as possible.
At worst, they would be noticed by Novafic's guards, or at worst, they would start a war with them. Anyway, they would always have a way to break out and escape.
Besides, King Cullen III of Novafic probably wouldn't send anyone to stop them even if he knew that little Isabel was trying to escape.
Or, they will only symbolically obstruct Zhou Xingyun and others...
Facts also proved that Zhou Xingyun's guess was correct. They escaped from Nova City without much effort.
The whole process went so smoothly that even the Vincents found it incredible and did not understand that the rescue operation could be so smooth.
They encountered almost no obstacles and escaped from Nova City with little Isabel. It was so smooth that it made people lose the sense of reality, as if everything was in a dream.
Why was this operation to rescue little Isabel so successful that it seemed abnormal?
How many people can see through the mystery?
The Vincents did not understand the cause and effect, but little Isabel could guess a thing or two.
Does Cullen III know that they want to escape? He must know!
If little Isabel's inference is correct, Cullen III even knows when and where they will escape from Nova City tonight!
But why didn't Cullen III send anyone to stop them?
The answer is very simple. It is what Zhou Xingyun thought of before. Three ancient and modern experts, plus five quasi-ancient and modern masters, came to take little Isabel home. What could Cullen III do to stop them!
Watch out, it's not 'rescuing', it's 'receiving'.
Zhou Xingyun and his party are here to ‘pick up’ little Isabel home!
Zhou Xingyun could tell that Cullen III was a strong man in both ancient and modern times. Cullen III could also roughly tell that Huafuduo and Seluvinia were both weaker than him.
As long as Cullen III had paid more attention, he would have received the news that when Zhou Xingyun passed the gate of Nova City, he was a group of nine people, not a group of four.
In other words, Cullen III could guess that in addition to the four Zhou Xingyuns, there were five unfathomable masters lurking in Nova City.
Whether it was worth fighting Zhou Xingyun and others for the sake of a subjugated princess became a question that Cullen III needed to weigh the pros and cons.
To be honest, for Cullen III, little Isabel has long lost her use value.
What was the reason why Cullen III placed little Isabel under house arrest?
First, win over the people, stabilize the domestic situation, and make the former dynasty's confidants dare not go against the will of the new king.
Second, use little Isabel as a hostage to threaten the King of St. Hillenburg to prevent him from taking advantage of the situation and attacking the Kingdom of Novafic, which has been depleted by civil war.
The above two points are the main reasons why Cullen III placed little Isabel under house arrest.
However, a few years later, Cullen III had stabilized the royal power, eliminated the remnants of the previous dynasty, and stabilized the people's hearts.
To put it bluntly, the people of Novafic Kingdom lived a stable life and no longer cared about who the previous king was.
To put it bluntly, although the Novafic Kingdom has changed its monarch, everyone's life has hardly changed. They still do what they should do. Sometimes they even get benefits because of the new king's accession to the throne. As time goes by, the people naturally don't care about the past.
Who is the king?
In addition, the Kingdom of Novafic has also recovered from internal strife, and the Kingdom of St. Hillenburg is no longer afraid!
So the question is, what use does little Isabel have to Cullen III?
The current little Isabel has not only lost her original role to Cullen III, but has also become a hot potato.
By killing her, the new king would not keep his word and would lose the majesty of the king.
Keep her and see what kind of virtues the three princes and highnesses can be trained by her.
If little Isabel really chooses to marry a certain prince, Cullen III will really have a headache.
To put it bluntly, Cullen III had long wanted to send little Isabel away.
Because if little Isabel is not sent away, Cullen III will not be able to kill little Isabel!
As long as little Isabel leaves the castle and Nova City, and she dies somewhere else, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks to him.
Therefore, Cullen III has long wanted to send little Isabel away, but how to ‘send away’ remains to be considered.
For example, squeeze out the last value of little Isabel and let King St. Hillenburg redeem little Isabel with his property.
Cullen III was not an economical person. He had long seen that little Isabel had the intention to go to the Central Plains.
If the King of St. Hillenburg redeems little Isabel, she is willing to leave her hometown and go to the distant eastern continent. Cullen III wants to let little Isabel live for the sake of the previous king promoting him.
Ma, let her spend the rest of her life in the Central Plains.
If little Isabel does not know what is good and what is good, and chooses to stay in this land and make trouble, then Cullen III will make her life worse than death.
It is true that the above was the initial plan of Cullen III. When he noticed that Zhou Xingyun and his group of powerful men had arrived in Nova City, he gave up the idea of asking the Kingdom of Saint Hillanburg to redeem little Isabel with money.
not worth it.
Really not worth it!
Cullen III believed that it was not worth it for him to go to war with Zhou Xingyun and his group for the sake of a subjugated princess who had no use value.
Zhou Xingyun said so bluntly to little Isabel that the princess of a subjugated country is worse than a dog, and this was not just a joke.
This is a fact!
This is how Cullen III treats little Isabel. He does not need to waste the lives of the kingdom's soldiers for a dog.
As long as Zhou Xingyun and others keep a low profile and don't make trouble, it doesn't matter if Cullen III lets little Isabel go!
When the Vincent couple took little Isabel out of the city gate of Nova City, Cullen III watched them leave from the tower.
Cullen III has already gained power and become the new king of Novafic Kingdom, and has been in power smoothly for several years.
As long as Zhou Xingyun and his entourage do not interfere in their national affairs, the subjugated slaves of the previous dynasty will not be able to stir up big troubles.
What's more, Cullen III received clear news that Zhou Xingyun and his party would not stay on this continent for long, and they would leave with little Isabel.
In this way, there was no need for Cullen III to go to war with Zhou Xingyun in Nova City for the sake of little Isabel.
Therefore, the Vincents and other people involved in the rescue operation felt that tonight's operation was both smooth and abnormal, and full of a sense of violation.
Of course, if Zhou Xingyun and his team of experts had not participated in the rescue operation, Cullen III would definitely not let little Isabel go easily.
Zhou Xingyun and his party relied on their strength and stubborn soldiers to frighten Culun III.
Looking at it this way, is Cullen III very cowardly and helpless?
No, on the contrary, only a fool like Emperor Aisilans would waste national power competing with Zhou Xingyun and other powerful men just for the sake of beauty and a fight when there is no need to start a war.
To endure the calm for a while, to take a step back to open up the world, and not to fight uncertain battles or unnecessary battles, this is the measure of a king.
Zhou Xingyun and his party returned to the Kingdom of St. Hillan Castle smoothly, and the king held a grand banquet for little Isabel.
During this period, Zhou Xingyun discovered an interesting scene, that is, little Qili'an was like a follower, especially liking to cling to little Isabel, and especially worshiping little Isabel.
Little Qili'an's attitude towards little Isabel can only be described by one idiom, that is, obey her words.
Zhou Xingyun really couldn't believe that a few years later, these two people who were like sisters would completely break up.
Even now, Qili'an has figured out that the situation in the Kingdom of Saint Hillanburg was so bad that she had to send people to the Central Plains for development, otherwise she and Isabel would be in dire straits.
But Qili'an still didn't give Isabel a good look.
Zhou Xingyun thought about the whole matter for a while, and couldn't help but find that it was him, not Isabel, who made Qili'an's family empty out their wealth.
Why do you say that?
Because it was Zhou Xingyun who deceived little Isabel into giving up business and joining martial arts, setting up her own business in the Central Plains, and creating a martial arts sect.
Zhou Xingyun asked little Isabel to take all the technical talents to the Central Plains to open up wasteland. This was tantamount to severely damaging the productivity of the Kingdom of Saint Hillanburg.
To put it bluntly, little Isabel's original idea was to take the merchants from the St. Hillenburg Kingdom to the Central Plains to do business, establish her own business group and connections, and thus develop her own power.
Now after listening to Zhou Xingyun's words, little Isabel discussed with King St. Hillanburg and decided to bring all the talents to the Central Plains to create a sect.
The former hurts the country's economy, while the latter hurts the country's foundation.
The Kingdom of St. Hillanburg lost a large number of elite warriors and industrial talents. When faced with the invasion of the Kingdom of Novafic, the fate was self-evident.
What does this mean? This means that it was Zhou Xingyun, not little Isabel, who made the Qili'an family empty out their fortune.
Zhou Xingyun was the 'cause' of instigating little Isabel, and little Isabel did as he said, which led to the 'consequence' of the Qili'an family wiping out their family fortune.
Zhou Xingyun felt guilty and couldn't bear to hide the truth, so he told Qili'an exactly what he had taught little Isabel about in Nova City.
It turns out that the culprit who caused the fall of the Qili'an family back then was not little Isabel, but him...Zhou Xingyun.
Zhou Xingyun reported to Qili'an cautiously, and was even mentally prepared to be resented by her.
Unexpectedly, Miss Qili'an replied nonchalantly: "As long as it is Mr. Zhou's decision, Qili'an has no objection."
It is true that Miss Qili'an seems cold and "not caring" on the surface, but her thoughts are extremely confused.
However, the reason why Miss Qili'an was confused and what Zhou Xingyun was worried about and feared were two different things.
What Zhou Xingyun is worried and afraid of is that after Qili'an knows the truth about his family's decline, he will hate him as much as he hates Isabel.
The reason why Qili'an's thoughts are confused is...
The husband sings and the wife follows! The husband sings and the wife follows! Qili'an's performance today is undeniable: the husband sings and the wife follows!
As long as Mr. Zhou thinks it is possible, Qili'an will support it unconditionally!
Anyway, Qili'an is the only heir of the family, and the talents and resources of the Saint Hillenburg Kingdom will become the dowry left to Qili'an by his father in the future.
Marry, marry, dowry! It’s a dowry!
Qi Li'an and Qi Li'an's dowry were both willingly disposed of by Mr. Zhou. This is great! There is no problem in this!
Besides, Qili'an has been gradually recalling this dusty historical memory since she was in the Principality of Cheryl.
Qili'an had long realized that bringing Zhou Xingyun to the Kingdom of St. Hillan Castle to look for navigation charts would have a chain effect. But she still did it...
In Qi Li'an's heartfelt words, girls are outward, she is a hopeless bad woman, she can only turn her arms outward towards Mr. Zhou.
All Zhou Xingyun did to her was to beat Zhou Yu into a trap, and anyone who wanted to be beaten was willing to suffer.
Qi Li'an's clever plan to calm the world naturally involved compensating his wife and losing his troops. Moreover, he willingly compensated his wife and gave him a dowry...
So here comes the question. Now that Qili'an knows the truth of the past and understands that the decline of his family is actually an inevitable trend, even without Isabel, their family will still be suppressed by the Novafic Kingdom.
In this way, will Qili'an forgive Isabel and the two of them turn their hostility into friendship?
No! Absolutely impossible! Qilian still hates that woman as always!
Ultimately, it's like mentioned a little bit before.
The fundamental reason why Qili'an hates Isabel is not because her father supported her to develop in the Central Plains, which emptied the family's fortune and led to the destruction of the family.
Qili'an hates Isabel because Isabel knew her father needed help, but refused to save him and still stayed in the Central Plains to develop.
Is it wrong for Isabel to do this?
Zhou Xingyun said that there was nothing wrong with Isabel doing this.
Isabel did not return to the Western Continent for rescue, all because of Qili'an.
Why did the King of St. Hillenburg send Isabel to develop in the Central Plains? Wasn't it just for a way out? He even sternly told Isabel that if St. Hillenburg fell, she must take good care of Qili'an.
Qili'an must not be allowed to act recklessly.
This is why Isabel would rather be hated by Qili'an than take people back to the Western Continent for rescue.
After all, at that time, Isabel's Xuanbing Palace had just stabilized its foothold in the Central Plains, made a name for itself in the world, and had some improvement.
At this time, she wanted to lead people back to the Western Continent for rescue. Not only would it be a drop in the bucket, she would not be able to help at all. The situation she had finally managed to revitalize in the Central Plains would be in jeopardy.
The worst thing is that she betrayed the trust of King St. Hillenburg, and both herself and Qili'an will fall into a place of eternal destruction.
Qili'an is very smart, doesn't she understand Isabel's good intentions?
Qili'an understands, but... Qili'an just hates Isabel.
When little Isabel was in trouble, her father wanted to keep little Isabel safe even if he wanted to fight with Cullen III to destroy the country.
Now, Isabel is refusing to save her. Even though Qili'an knows that what she did is right, she will still hate Isabel emotionally.
Especially Isabel wanted to deceive Zhou Xingyun from the very beginning! Qili'an will never allow this bad woman to take advantage of Zhou Xingyun!
After thinking about it carefully, Qili'an and Isabel gradually started to have conflicts. Their relationship started from the moment Isabel tried to take advantage of Zhou Xingyun.
Whether Isabel would return to the Western Continent to help, whether she would die without saving anything, etc., were all trivial matters to Qili'an. Isabel wanted to take advantage of Zhou Xingyun, and that was how Qili'an came into contact with her.
scale.
Of course, Isabel's refusal to save her was one of the reasons why Qili'an didn't want to see her.
After the grand banquet, little Isabel began to get busy. She first stated to Qili'an's father, the King of St. Hillenburg, that she wanted to go to the Central Plains to establish a martial arts sect, hoping that the king would provide her with talents.
and supplies.
The King of St. Hillenburg was hesitant at first because little Isabel wanted too much, but after two days of consideration, he agreed to all the requests of little Isabel and gave all the best elites and talents in the country to
Leave it to little Isabel to compile.
The king of Fort St. Hillan had generally received the intelligence reported back by the spies, and several neighboring countries began to mobilize their troops intensively in an attempt to harm them.
Ever since, Zhou Xingyun spent half a month's vacation happily in the Kingdom of St. Hillan Castle. He and Xun Xuan, Mo Nianxi, Wei Suyao and other beauties, were in love with each other, drunkenly and dreamily, living a shameless life for more than half a month.
Pick up a smooth sailing boat and set sail, embarking on the way back to the Central Plains...
