However, what the Peacock Monarch didn't know was that the last remaining hope in his heart to open the tomb didn't exist from the beginning.

The three high-level priests far away from the royal capital were actually protected by a group of mysterious people from the beginning. At the same time as the news of the great change in the royal capital spread, these three people were also escorted by a mysterious person, and they had left the border of the Peacock Kingdom directly before the Peacock Royal Family could control the overall situation.

Although the Peacock is not adjacent to the empire, it is also separated from the broken country of Gupta in between.

But as long as those three high-ranking priests entered the territory of Gupta, even if the Peacock royal family had already grasped the power in the country, it would still not be able to extend its influence to the territory of Gupta Kingdom.

There is no doubt that the group of mysterious people with hidden identities are naturally the imperial guards who have entered the peacock together.

Although the dark guards did not play any substantial role in the fierce battle that night, in fact, their best means were not to mention the collision of the frontal battlefield.

Yang Zimu was extremely gentle, and invited the three priests to get into the Qi-powered carriage, and went in the direction of the empire with great fanfare, neither avoiding the official forces of Gupta nor covering up in front of the rest of the eyeliner.

This is blatant, taking away the last three keys that can open the tomb of King Daming.

Just as the relationship between the Mauryan State and the Federation today originated from the mediation of the Siamese State, Gupta is now almost semi-subservient to the Empire.

As long as it enters the Gupta country, the power of the Peacock Kingdom will naturally not be able to continue to extend.

At the same time that Yang Zimu and the Imperial Dragoons began to contact the sacrificial meeting, they had actually done a good job of retreating from failure, and they would never let themselves really gain nothing.

"As long as the key is still in the hands of the Empire, then even if the Federation will obtain the alliance of the Peacock Nation, the Empire will still have equal room for negotiation after all. ”

Yang Zimu sat in the carriage of the Qi-powered carriage, thinking about Su Mu's strength with some palpitations, but there was still no frustration in his heart.

After all, the one who really has the last laugh...... Talent is the winner of the whole continent!

......

In the days that followed, the royal family and the envoys of the other two kingdoms continued to exchange their interests and opinions.

The interaction of interests has been written in the form of a national letter, and then jointly established by the three parties.

So far, the only condition that has not been agreed to by the royal family seems to be the question of the ownership of the main altar of the sacrificial assembly. The royal family is still slowly dragging its feet on this point.

However, as time passes, it seems that even the unaware side of the Papal States has vaguely sensed that something is wrong.

It also began to be like the Federation, and the same lion opened his mouth to give new requirements.

"Your Majesty, during today's negotiations between the Papal States, it was suddenly proposed that the maintenance cost of their Founding Divine Machine was high, and now that they were entrusted with the conquest of the national capital, this cost should naturally be borne by the Kingdom. ”

This request of the Papal States seems to be extremely reasonable.

But the fee they really gave was obviously an extremely terrifying figure.

"The Papal States needed money from the Kingdom for two million gold coins, which amounted to almost an entire year's income from the Kingdom's treasury. ”

The Returnee looked carefully at the man on the throne who had regained power in a state of great unease.

It seems to be a great fear that the Papal States' ferocious exploitation will make the man on the throne turn his face in anger, and thus offend the Papal States.

However, contrary to the imagination of the returnees, after hearing such an exaggerated asking price of the Papal States, the Peacock King did not have the slightest anger on his face, but seemed to be thinking about the reasonableness of this asking price.

So much so that in his contemplation, he forgot to reply to the returnee.

It's just very deliberate...... Now that even the Papal States have been aware of that matter, I am afraid that the Kingdom side can no longer delay any longer.

"I would like to invite His Excellency Su Mu of the Federation and His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of the Pope State to come to the Emerald Feather Hall and the widow for a while, and say that the widow still has something to ask about the future of the kingdom. ”

After a while, a slightly depressed voice finally sounded from the throne.

On the third day and early night after the great change in the royal capital, the Peacock King could not continue to be silent after all, and was already planning to face the absurd ending directly.

......

Whether it was Su Mu or Maggie, they were obviously already waiting for the summons of the Peacock Monarch.

As this long-awaited message finally came, the two naturally re-entered the royal city in tacit understanding with each other, and directly came to the secret council hall with the highest specifications in the royal city...... Emerald Feather Hall!

"The Emerald Feather Hall was once the central meeting place of the Empire's cabinet, but later with the division of the Empire, it gradually became a furnishing with no practical function. ”

"But now, it seems that since what we are going to discuss next is still the most important thing in the kingdom, it is naturally the most appropriate place to be in the Emerald Feather Hall. ”

As soon as the Peacock Monarch spoke, he directly explained the purpose of tonight's convening.

Now that the sacrificial meeting has been completely destroyed, the most important thing in the kingdom is naturally the grand event that is about to start entering the tomb of King Daming.

Although those observers who had been selected by the sacrificial society naturally did not dare to have any more opinions in front of the royal family.

But today's two great countries are still looking at this cake.

"There is no way for the royal family to reopen the tomb, as you already know or guess, when you kill almost all of the upper echelons of the Sacrificial Society, the last key is taken away by the Empire. ”

"So now don't say it's you, even the kingdom itself...... I also can't get any of the relics in the tomb, so I can only wait for the future Empire to release the meaning!"

The words of the Peacock Monarch naturally had some hidden anger.

After all, from the perspective of the Peacock Monarch, Su Mu most likely had this kind of guess in advance, so he let the mission directly make such a harsh request.

And for this, Su Mu did not explain.

It's just that he still doesn't say a word, waiting for the Peacock Monarch to give the real ending that will result from this.

Although the Peacock Monarch was angry, the reason why he was able to regain power of the kingdom was because of the existence of Su Mu and Maggie, so the necessary price was still inevitable that he could not ignore.

"The materials accumulated by the sacrificial meeting may be entrusted to the federal envoy for three years. But after three years, the Federation must return all this information to the Kingdom, and you must not take any of it for yourself. ”

The first condition that the Peacock Monarch agreed to was naturally the request made by the Federation.

And such a result is already a pretty good answer for the Federation.

Even Adrian didn't really want to completely occupy these materials, but only needed to convert these resources into the nourishment of the Federation as soon as possible.

And after the Peacock Monarch finished his reply to the Federation, he immediately turned to look at Maggie, the Holy Daughter of the Papal State, and then replied like a strong man with a broken wrist:

"Two million in one go is indeed too much, and the current royal treasury is not sufficient, and it is not possible to fulfill your request immediately. Therefore, the kingdom hopes that in the next three years, in the form of one million gold coins per year, the national debt of three million gold coins will be repaid to your country in three years, including principal and interest. ”

"If there is no opinion from the two sides, what are the conditions that were put forward next...... All of them will be written into the letters of agreement between the three countries!"
