Before Jiang Feng left, he asked Lu Bingfeng to take Sima Yi to Peicheng, first take him hostage for a period of time, and teach him how to negotiate with Xia Yashuang.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Feng and Song Yuan flew to the imperial capital by helicopter.

On the far other side, the Continent of Beauty, the capital of the Menes Empire, is the city of Lan, New York. Now it's daylight, and the time difference is completely opposite to that of the continent of Asia.

Wei Chi has been here for several days, but she has never been able to see the purple-haired Lori, Yi Meilian. Even Lao Pokong didn't see it, and only the prime minister of the empire entertained Wei Chi during this period.

The Prime Minister of the Empire is the head of the administration of the Empire, and can also be understood as the Chief Prime Minister, who is in charge of all the affairs of the Empire and has a high position of power. But the prime minister does not have any military power, and all the military power of the empire is mainly in the hands of Lao Pokong.

The prime minister told Wei Chi that the old man was in Europe and did not know when he would return. As for Yi Meilian's whereabouts, even the prime minister does not know.

From the beginning of the empire to the present, Yi Meilian has not held any official positions, and she is still engaged in scientific research like the first universe. The country's cutting-edge science and technology are basically from the hands of Yi Meilian.

In order to avoid the leakage of cutting-edge technology, the scientific research base in charge of Yi Meilian is located in a very secret place. And in order to protect Yi Meilian's safety, most people don't know where Yi Meilian is.

The only person who knows is Lao Pokong.

Wei Chi was really unwilling to come for nothing, so he waited for several days, but he still didn't see the old man.

Back then, Yi Meilian helped Wei Chi improve his combat strength, and then gave Wei Chi a military strategy of rejecting Ao Lie in the east and Jiang Feng in the east.

All along, as long as the Menes Empire's attitude towards Jiang Zhi's forces did not change, then Wei Chi's attitude would not change either. But now, 100,000 U.S. troops are maliciously stationed in the third district of Wangcheng, and the relationship with Jiang Zhi's forces is very sensitive. This is very reminiscent of the change in the attitude of the Menes Empire towards the forces of the river.

For this reason, Wei Chi really hoped to see Yi Meilian again, otherwise he really didn't know what to do next.

Wei Chi's entourage Hua Hu said, "Lord, we've been here for a few days, should we continue to wait?" ”

"I don't know, I don't know if they deliberately didn't see me, or if they really went out by chance."

"I think we'd better go back, in the future, we can make our own decisions, there's no need to listen to that Yi Meilian."

"If it weren't for Yi Meilian's help, I wouldn't have become the lord of the Southern Barbarians."

"But Yi Meilian hasn't contacted you for a long time, so why should you bother with it. I think it's better to go back first, if Yi Meilian still cares about Nanban's future, she will definitely come to you. ”

"Well, you're right, then let's go back first." Wei Chi said in the dark.

Coincidentally, when Wei Chi had just decided to leave, a phone rang in the room.

Wei Chi picked up the phone and ended the call a few seconds later.

"What's wrong?" Hua Hu asked.

"Old Pokong is back, right in the Empire State Building, and the Prime Minister asked us to meet him."

"It's finally back, so let's go."

An hour later, Wei Chi and Hua Hu arrived at the Empire State Building and headed to the designated conference hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Pokong said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, you've been waiting for so many days, hurry up and sit down." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a few days."

After everyone was seated, a secretary poured tea for Wei Chi and Hua Hu, and then respectfully closed the door and left.

"Is there something going on this time?" Lao Pokong asked.

"I won't say polite words, what about Yi Meilian?"

"She's so busy with research that she doesn't have time." Lao Pokong lit a cigarette.

"Then what is the Empire's attitude towards the Jiang forces now? Why are 100,000 U.S. troops stationed in Wangcheng? ”

"What attitude do you want us to have?" Lao Pokong asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, I can only say that our attitude is basically following the Empire."

"Is that really the case?"

"Well, it should be said that Yi Meilian's attitude is my attitude."

"It's understandable, then I'll tell you Yi Meilian's attitude now, 100,000 U.S. troops will not clash with Jiang Zhi's forces. If things really get bigger, Mikasha will definitely intervene. ”

"I heard that you've been in Europe these days, did you go to see Mikasha?"

"Exactly, Mikasha's attitude is very clear, she will not allow any future human power to stir up the situation. If the U.S. military goes to war with the forces of Eno, Mikasha will consider sending troops to aid the forces of Eno. ”

"Mikasha really said that? Isn't she Jiang Feng's nemesis? ”

"As long as you figure out the motive, it's not difficult to understand her behavior, Mikasha's purpose in coming to this universe is to compete with Jiang Feng. But the development of this universe was indeed unexpected, and Jiang Feng was unable to unify Yan Huang for a long time, which made Mikasha very anxious. This time, Jiang Feng defeated the Gray Clan, repelled Ao Lie, and occupied the Northern Underworld, which should be said to be one step closer to unification. Therefore, Mikasha would never allow the empire to stir up the situation, otherwise Jiang Feng would not know when he would be able to unify Yan Huang. ”

"I see, then since the U.S. military has no intention of targeting Jiangzhi's forces, why hasn't it withdrawn for a long time?"

"Because we're going to fight for someone."

"Who?"

"When we came to this universe, we have been looking for a person, his name is Yi Tianpeng. Although we have long suspected that Yi Tiancang is in Jiang Feng's hands, we don't have any evidence, and Jiang Feng will not tell us the truth. In the past two years, we have been looking for Yi Tiancang, as well as a soothsayer. After continuous efforts, we have gathered a few more capable soothsayers, but they are unable to reach Yi Tiancang. One of the more likely situations is that Yi Tiancang has divination beads on his body. But a few days ago, we divined the location of Yi Tiancang, and he was really in Wangcheng. But not long after, we couldn't divinate again, maybe Yi Tianpeng got another divination bead. ”

"I see, so in the past few days, the US military has been fighting for Yi Tiancang."

"Yes, it's just that it hasn't gone well so far, and Su Koye still flatly denies that Yi Tiancang is in Wangcheng."

"It's difficult to estimate, Yi Tianpeng is a scientific and technological talent, and Jiang Zhi's forces will not give up."

"That's true, so it's been in the negotiations." Lao Pokong took a puff of cigarette and said helplessly.

"By the way, can I meet Yi Meilian?"

"She won't want to see you."

"Why?" Wei Chi said excitedly.

"Old Wei Chi and Yi Meilian had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel, so Yi Meilian won't want to see you."

"Old Wei Chi is unhappy with her, what does it have to do with me."

"After all, you have the same face as old Wei Chi, it's just that he has a few more tufts of beard." Lao Pokong smiled.

"Can I be curious? What's wrong with them? ”

"Old Wei Chi has been pursuing Yi Meilian for a long time, and he almost obeys Yi Meilian's words, but the two have been separated for a long time due to strategic deployment issues, and it is difficult to meet. Over time, contradictions come out. Alas, you better leave this matter alone, anyway, they will be reconciled after a while. ”
