#432 - I'll give you a few heads as a gift.

"Xu Ming, do you have any ideas?"

When the Martial Emperor asked this question, Xu Ming's heart suddenly jumped, and he looked at the Martial Emperor.

Looking at the Martial Emperor's earnest gaze, Xu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that the Martial Emperor only meant the surface meaning of his words and didn't intend to sell him to the North Sea.

Xu Ming organized his thoughts in his mind and said, "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. During these days in the North Sea, I wouldn't say I have a deep understanding of the Dragon Queen, but I can at least grasp some of her personality. In my opinion, the Dragon Queen is not the kind of person who relies on marriage to establish a deep bond.

What the Dragon Queen values more is the friendship of mutual help between the two countries.

As long as the Wu Kingdom treats the North Sea well and stands by the North Sea when it is in trouble, the North Sea will definitely repay it many times over.

The North Sea Dragon Queen even despises marriage as a means, believing that approaching it is just a low-level political tool."

The implication of Xu Ming's words was: "Please don't think about marriage, and don't sell me off for marriage with a single word from the Dragon Queen."

If that really happened, Xu Ming felt that he would probably have to run away from the marriage.

Anyway, his mother had gone to the Northern Wilderness, and he didn't have any weaknesses to be exploited.

Of course, if he wanted to run away from the marriage, the prerequisite was that he had to be able to escape.

Listening to Xu Ming's words, the Martial Emperor nodded seriously: "Xu Ming, you are right. You have the most contact with the Dragon Queen, so you naturally have a deeper judgment, especially since you have helped the North Sea so much. From now on, the relationship between the North Sea and the Wu Kingdom will be based on you as a bridge. I will have to trouble you a lot."

The Martial Emperor patted the back of Xu Ming's hand and said with concern.

The Martial Emperor was very clear that the progress of the relationship between the North Sea and the Five Kingdoms this time was entirely due to the young man in front of him. Without him, there was no way he could have gotten on the ship of the North Sea.

"Your subject will definitely do his best," Xu Ming replied as usual.

Agreeing is one thing, but what to do at that time is another matter.

But then again, with the relationship with the North Sea, Xu Ming felt that he could really walk sideways in the Imperial Capital. As long as he did something that angered the Martial Emperor beyond forgiveness, such as harming his harem or something, basically no one would dare to do anything to him, and no one would dare to do anything to him.

Otherwise, the person who was angered would not only be the Martial Emperor but also the Eternal Dragon Queen.

After entering the palace, the Martial Emperor pulled Xu Ming out of the carriage and even wanted Xu Ming to take a bath together.

Xu Ming wanted to decline!

Xu Ming also politely declined: "Your Majesty is of noble birth, how can you bathe with me? This is not allowed."

But when the Martial Emperor saw Xu Ming's flattered appearance, he became even more energetic and wanted to take a bath with Xu Ming even more.

Xu Ming really wanted to say, "I'm really being polite with you. I'm really not used to taking a bath with an old man!"

But Xu Ming certainly couldn't say that.

In the end, he could only be dragged by the Martial Emperor to the bathhouse.

To be honest, Xu Ming was a little panicked. He was worried that during these few months he was not in the palace, the Martial Emperor had undergone some changes in some aspects, such as not liking women so much.

Fortunately, the Martial Emperor just wanted to take a bath with him and talk about serious matters.

In the bath that was the size of a swimming pool, with the service of the maids, the two people continued to talk about the North Sea while taking a bath. The Martial Emperor was asking Xu Ming about his views on the current situation of the Four Seas.

"Your Majesty wants to..." As they talked, Xu Ming also guessed the Martial Emperor's thoughts, but he only said half of it.

The Martial Emperor waved his hand, and the serving palace maids understood, bowed, and retreated, leaving only Xu Ming and the Martial Emperor.

"Your Majesty wants to send troops to help the North Sea?" After the maids left, Xu Ming asked directly.

The Martial Emperor nodded: "That's right. Regarding the situation of the Four Seas, I have gained a general understanding these days. After talking with you just now, I have even more of a general guess. If there are no accidents, the North Sea and the East Sea must be in an irreconcilable conflict with Mount Zhōngyān.

The South Sea and the West Sea must also be very disgusted with Mount Zhōngyān. After all, even the Dragon King Teng is gone. But the problem is that the current situation of the South Sea and the West Sea is still okay. These two sea areas have not yet reached the point of hating Mount Zhōngyān to the bone, and the strength of Mount Zhōngyān is extraordinary, which can be said to represent half of the Southern Realm Demon Kingdom.

So if the North Sea and the East Sea want to find trouble with Mount Zhōngyān, they will definitely clean up the West Sea and the South Sea first. Otherwise, the backyard will catch fire, which is definitely what the Dragon Queen doesn't want to see.

However, even if the North Sea Dragon Queen's injuries are completely recovered, she may not have enough manpower to clean up the two sea areas. What if I directly help send troops at this time?

This is not only giving charcoal in the snow, but even our Wu Capital can get a lot of treasures. I heard that the treasures of the Dragon Palace are piled up like mountains.

The problem is that sending troops to other countries is a major matter. I'm afraid that the Dragon Queen doesn't trust us enough and will have negative emotions.

So in your opinion, Xu Ming, what do you think of my idea? How feasible is it?"

Xu Ming thought seriously for a moment: "What Your Majesty said is all reasonable. Actually, I am not sure about this matter, but Your Majesty may be able to write a letter, expressing the meaning tactfully. If the North Sea agrees, we can send out a part of the soldiers, and after the Dragon Queen trusts us, we can send more troops. It may not be impossible."

"Okay, let's do as you say."

The Martial Emperor nodded.

In fact, the Martial Emperor was also thinking this way.

It's just that the Martial Emperor needs someone to affirm his ideas.

After all, this kind of thing is indeed uncertain, and it is easy to damage the relationship between the two countries.

But the treasures obtained from cleaning up the West Sea and the South Sea are really too tempting!

"Xu Ming, are you done washing?" After his thoughts were smooth, the Martial Emperor stood up and asked with a smile.

"Almost, Your Majesty, what is this?" Xu Ming looked at the Martial Emperor with his eight-pack abs.

"Let's go." The Martial Emperor smiled, "I'll give you a few heads as a gift."

[This chapter today is used for transition. Tomorrow we will enter a new event. It can also be said that we will enter the second half of this book. To be honest, I personally feel that the back will be much more exciting. Thinking about the ideas in my mind, I feel a little excited to write them out.

But I just don't know how much I can express in my mind, which really requires a certain amount of writing skills.
