Chapter 1736

"Tell me, the other party wants us to become a vassal state, what do you think?"

In the meeting room, all the senior officials of Kyoto sat at the meeting table with solemn faces, and the old man in the lead spoke to break the silence.

"Of course I don't agree. How can we, the great China, be dependent on other countries!"

One of the old men with a square face stood up first and said firmly.

An old man next to him also interrupted immediately: "You don't need to say if you disagree. The chief wants to ask you how to deal with it."

"That's right, the question is how to deal with it. If we refuse directly, I'm afraid that the Qianlong royal family will attack us immediately. This point has been clearly confirmed to us by other countries."

A slightly fat man also expressed his opinion at this time.

In fact, other countries in Blue Star are also facing this problem.

When they found that there was an extra country in the territory of Bahuang, the local strongmen would naturally not let it go, and they all sent envoys to the country to issue surrender orders.

The United States also faces the threat of the Western Continent of Bahuang. The other side demands submission, but the United States, which is used to being the boss, certainly refuses.

This immediately arouses the dissatisfaction of the other side, and the two have already started fighting.

Not only the United States, but many developed countries have not been spared.

China also has to face this problem now. It seems that if it does not agree, this war will be inevitable.

The foreign minister frowned and asked, "I want to ask, if we really fight, what are our chances of winning against the Qianlong royal family?"

An old general said categorically, "With the strength of our Chinese cultivators, it is not a problem to resist the Qianlong's offensive, but if they gather all their strength and attack in an all-out manner, many of our border cities may be unable to resist."

"It is best not to fight. Fighting will only increase casualties. Our various places are already in turmoil, and the casualties are not small. If we still fight with Qianlong, even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses."

"It sounds good. You said you don't want to fight them? Now they want us to surrender unless we agree to their demands."

"Let's talk first, and talk about it if we can't reach an agreement."

"Who will talk, how to talk, and where to talk?"

"I said you don't always argue, is it interesting?"

"I argue? Then come up with a solution!"

"You..."

Seeing that everyone was caught in an endless quarrel.

The old man sitting in the center did not respond in a hurry, but whispered a few words to the secretary beside him. The secretary left immediately after hearing what he said, as if to do something.

Then he cleared his throat, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"Let's invite the Qianlong guest over, and we will have a good chat with her. War is the worst plan."

Seeing that the old man had spoken, everyone agreed, and soon, Ji Linglong was invited again.

Ji Linglong thought that the other party had agreed, and said to the old man in an approving tone: "The old man is still very sensible. Don't worry, surrendering to our Qianlong royal family will benefit you in all respects and will not cause any harm. In the future, our Qianlong royal family will protect you, but you must obey the emperor's orders in the future. That's it. Now you set off immediately and go to the imperial city with me to pay tribute to my sister."

However, the old man just smiled and said: "We don't plan to surrender to your Qianlong royal family. Our great China has experienced thousands of years of suffering and has never surrendered. We have served other countries in the past, now, and in the future."

Ji Linglong frowned and said indignantly: "All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. How can you, a mortal city, not submit to the court? How come you can't understand this? I'm doing this for your good, do you really not agree?"

"We are willing to form an alliance with your dynasty and advance and retreat together, but if your dynasty wants to annex us, we will never agree." The old man said calmly, but with an unquestionable firmness.

Ji Linglong was immediately a little angry. She pouted her lips slightly, put her hands on her hips, and said unhappily: "It seems that you are not willing to drink the wine. I have said all the good things, but you are stubborn. Okay, I will tell my sister when I go back and let her deal with you. But when she sends troops to fight you, don't blame me for not reminding you. By then, I am afraid that you... Ouch~"

Ji Linglong was interrupted before she finished her words. Someone hit her head from behind.

The guards beside her immediately shouted: "Stop! Dare to hurt Her Royal Highness the Princess! You are looking for death!"

Ji Linglong was the most angry. She covered her head and turned around, gritting her teeth.

"Damn it! Dare someone hurt this princess! You poor and unruly people, you are too hateful. I will tell my sister now and let her..."

However, she was stuck halfway through her words. At this moment, Ji Linglong stood there blankly, turned aroundLooking back, looking at the 'sneak attacker' who appeared in front of her, her mind went blank for a moment.

"You, you, you..."

Ji Linglong opened her mouth slightly, stuttering, as if she couldn't believe it at all.

The man in front of her was angry and amused, and raised his hand to flick her forehead again.

"You, girl, have been more and more domineering after not seeing you for so long. You ran here to act wild. Believe it or not, I will tell your sister to put you in solitary confinement."

Hearing the familiar voice of the other party, Ji Linglong came back to her senses from the shock.

She was not angry. On the contrary, the foreign princess was full of surprise. In front of so many old people, she didn't care about the girl's modesty and threw herself into the other party's arms.

"Brother Lin, why are you here!"

Lin Jichen hugged the soft and boneless girl's body with a smile and tears, and said helplessly: "This is my hometown, why can't I be here."

"You haven't been to Fengqu City for a long time, Brother Lin, have you forgotten me and my sister?"

Ji Linglong pouted and said aggrievedly.

"My hometown suffered a disaster, so I naturally came back to help. How could I have time to look for you." Lin Jichen explained.

"So this is your hometown." Ji Linglong suddenly realized, and then her expression became very embarrassed.

"Brother Lin, I didn't know this was your hometown. I thought it was an ordinary city. Hehe, you won't blame me, right?"

Lin Jichen said with a smile: "Then you won't set your sights on my hometown again, right?"

"Of course not. How could I set my sights on Brother Lin's hometown? Even if I told my sister, she would never agree."

As he spoke, Ji Linglong's attitude immediately became obedient. He turned his head and said to the old man: "I'm so sorry. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. If you had told me earlier that Brother Lin was from your place, I would definitely not have said those words. You old man are really, you didn't say it earlier."

He pointed at the other people present: "And you too, you know the truth but don't report it. Let Brother Lin spank you!"

Hearing that the other party was the "bad guy" who complained first, everyone was speechless...
