Chapter 541:-for-tat (1)
Xiao Junling's words made the princess of the Yun family seem to have been poured a basin of cold water on her head, and she asked in a daze, "Isn't it?" Didn't you say it before! Are you going to change your mind again? ”
"It's not a hexagram!" Xiao Junling explained,
"Except for this one, the other terms of the agreement will not change! As long as the Yun family doesn't take the initiative to break the agreement, it will always be effective! And Miss Yun, you don't have to be a tool for family marriage, isn't it better for you? ”
"......" Yun Ningxue didn't know what to say.
As is customary in the upper social circles, marriage is often the best means of maintaining a long-term close alliance between two families! As for the wishes of the children themselves, they are usually not taken into account, and everything is based on interests!
It's like now, Yunxuan Yang knows that in terms of friendship with Xiao Junling, he is far from being comparable to the Zhou family, and even the other major families can't compare! It's hard to say how long this cooperation agreement will last!
In case in the future, due to some kind of change, Xiao Junling does not plan to continue to fulfill the agreement, then the Yun family's situation will be embarrassing!
That's why he added a marriage clause to the agreement. In any case, Xiao Junling must have someone close to his side, so that the top of the family can really rest assured!
“…… Xiao Junling, am I really inferior to the pair of sisters of the Zhou family? Yun Ningxue's voice carried a hint of grievance.
Xiao Junling said with some puzzlement: "Miss Yun, this kind of marriage decided based on interest considerations basically ignores the wishes of the parties!" I should be the best for you, right? You can complete the tasks assigned by the family without having to wronged yourself! ”
"Who do you fall in love with in the future? It's up to you. No one will interfere with your choices anymore! Isn't that bad? ”
Yun Ningxue smiled bitterly: "Even if it's not you." It's going to be someone else's, too! Not to mention ......"
She quietly added in her heart: "How do you know that I don't want to?" It's just that she is reserved as a woman, but it's impossible to say this.
Yu Xin'er said at this time: "Miss Yun Ningxue, regarding the cooperation between the two sides, as long as the Yun family can maintain enough sincerity, there is no reason for us to violate the agreement!" In fact, in addition to the Zhou family, there are many families that maintain a good relationship with us, but none of them have married my family lord! So, this clause is not indispensable! ”
"Okay......" Yun Ningxue had to accept it after the most reluctance.
Although there is still a lot to say. But as a woman and a party to the party, it is obviously inconvenient for her to say it herself, so she can only think of a way later.
Sending away Yun Ningxue, who was full of resentment, Lan Ya glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems that this one of the Yun family has a good impression of you!" Why didn't you just say yes? ”
Xiao Junling smiled and asked, "Am I very short of women now?" ”
"Aren't all men virtuous? Eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in the pot! The housekeeper wrung him without a trace, and said:
"If you pushed this one out today, I'm afraid the head of the Yun family will only understand that you are not satisfied with her enough! Maybe I'll get you another one another day! ”
"So to speak. Did I hurt her? Xiao Junling frowned.
I heard that she is already the heir of the Yun family, but Yun Xuan Yang really plans to change people. Then I'm afraid that her fate will really not be much better.
But even so, he didn't regret his decision very much. This princess of the Yun family has no friendship with him, and he can't even talk about ordinary friends, so of course he won't change his principles just for the sake of her body.
And until now, he still doesn't feel at ease with the Yun family! With Yun Xuan Yang's character, even if it was out of interest considerations, he had to bow his head and give in. But once the situation changes in the future, I'm afraid this family will be the first to turn back!
Therefore, at this time, try to have less entanglement with this family, and you will not be tied up in the future!
Yu Xin'er said leisurely: "It's not just this one, right? I've heard that the An family's most outstanding pearl has returned to the imperial capital from the family's territory! There are also the Qin family, the Zhao family, and the rest of the families, all of whom have similar plans! My lord, how many sisters are you going to find for others? ”
"Is this my responsibility?" Xiao Junling hurriedly cleared himself,
"I can't control how those heads of the family like to toss, but in the end, I have to decide on this matter! At most, I won't say yes then! They're not going to shoehorn it into me, are they? ”
"You speak lightly!" Yu Xin'er threw him a roll of the eyes.
It's not that she doesn't understand Xiao Junling's thoughts, but for the sake of his future career development, I'm afraid this matter can't be avoided at all! If you really want to blame, you can only blame Xiao Junling's interests and resources are too huge, so that it is impossible for any family head to turn a blind eye to this!
For the sake of the future of the family, these family heads can only try their best to get closer to Xiao Junling, in order to get a piece of the pie!
"Alright! Don't mention it! Xiao Junling said,
"I plan to meet Wei Qinghao's father later, the matter of the eldest grandson Qingkong, I'm afraid I will have to trouble him to find a way!"

Northern Hell Empire.
In a secret hall in the depths of the imperial palace, Chu Jingyuan, the newly appointed vice minister of state, was telling the big people attending the meeting about his many layouts:
“…… The midterm elections for the Chinese Empire are underway, and according to the original plan, a number of politicians who are inclined to us have been successfully elected, and with the fact that we have been bribed and wooed in the past, our strength within the Congress has been further enhanced! I believe that in the future, when the time is right, they will play their due role......"
“…… All kinds of technical and economic assistance to human countries such as Fuso and Saki League have been put in place! At present, the strength of these countries has been effectively enhanced, but if we want them to meet the minimum standard that can contain the Huaxia Empire, we need to give them more support! ”
The Imperial Finance Minister Namu Kel frowned and asked, "The aid plan in the previous stage has already cost the empire hundreds of billions of star yuan!" I wonder how much this batch will cost? In order to cope with the grim situation in the future, the empire will also expand its armaments. But there's not a lot of resources to spend on that! ”
Chu Jingyuan smiled: "Your Excellency. Although foreign aid costs enormous. But instead of letting the empire's own warriors bleed, help those unpopular human countries develop, and then let them add to the Chinese Empire! Isn't that a higher cost-effectiveness ratio? ”
"Those countries have been suppressed by China for too long, and all kinds of hatred and dissatisfaction have long accumulated to the critical point of outbreak! As long as there is a chance, they will never be polite to the Chinese people! ”
The emperor bowed slightly: "I also think this strategy is feasible!" It is better to let the countries of the Anthropocene realm fight within than to let our own warriors go to the battlefield to fight in person! ”
After some discussion, a huge aid plan with a scale of up to 600 billion Imperial Star Dollars was quickly released! According to Chu Jingyuan's meaning, at least let these human countries have a level of strength close to that of the Gambino royal court. to ensure that in the future layout, they can play their due role!
Minister Valdi Merrow said: "Your Excellency, as for the matter you proposed last time, to unite with the immortal organization in Huaxia, our envoy has returned and brought back good news!" ”
"It's just that I still don't agree with the values and ultimate goals of this organization! Although it is true that they are alien, they are unlikely to serve our interests when dealing with the Empire! ”
Chu Jingyuan said: "Your Royal Highness, it doesn't matter what kind of ambition the Eternal Life Organization has! We don't have to control them! On the side of the Empire. As long as they make more trouble in the Huaxia Empire, won't the benefits to us be greater? ”
"It is best if the entire elite of the Chinese Empire is controlled by them. Then let's make this amazing news public, especially the Chinese people! In this way, internal unrest in this country is inevitable! ”
Valdi Merrow nodded convincingly, and the one passed without any suspense.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the above measures are guaranteed to bring a lot of trouble to the Huaxia Empire, if you want to change the current situation of the Northern Hell Empire being suppressed by it, these are not enough!" Chu Jingyuan said after the most sorrow.
Saint Maiden Yan said unhappily: "The Huaxia people were able to suppress us, not because their strength was stronger, but because the Qingqiu Empire was on their side!" ”
"That's exactly what I'm going to say!" Chu Jingyuan didn't care,
"If you want to change this status quo, the best way is to pull the Qingqiu Empire over! Once we form an alliance with this great power, then it will be the turn of the Chinese Empire to be suppressed! ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked.
Foreign Minister Mandetana said suspiciously: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the relationship between the Qingqiu Empire and Huaxia is currently in the honeymoon period!" Since Empress Beluccia, almost all of the Manchu civil and military forces have supported the long-term strategic cooperation alliance with Huaxia! ”
"So I don't think even if the empire is willing to give a lot of benefits, it's unlikely that the empress will change her position!"
"Empress Beluccia is reluctant to change her position, but what if it were her sister: Empress Sumoya?" A faint hideousness appeared in Chu Jingyuan's eyes!
“……”
…………
The day before the Imperial Army's warship procurement bidding project was officially held, an envoy from the Imperial Prime Minister's Office came to the door again and brought the news of inviting Xiao Junling to the banquet.
Regarding the tricky actions of His Excellency Wu Chenyu, Xiao Junling calmly dealt with it, and only lightly promised that he would definitely participate on time, so he had no other expressions.
Anyway, he doesn't have anything to rely on him now, so no matter what, Li Jinyin doesn't want to easily get the benefits he wants from his hands!
In the evening, the ship of the Temple of the Silent Star landed in the square in front of the Prime Minister's Residence.
Xiao Junling walked down the gangway with Yang Yueqi and Lan Ya, and Yu Xin'er didn't follow her this time because she was summoned by the Great Sage.
Regarding the visit of the Venus Lord and the members of the National Assembly of the Empire, the Prime Minister's Office only sent an ordinary servant to greet them, and the attitude was extremely arrogant.
Yang Yueqi immediately turned cold and was about to attack, but was stopped by Xiao Junling.
"It's just an archon who is about to end, so why bother too much!" He looked at the distant sky, the sunset that was about to fall into the horizon, and smiled leisurely.
The servant who led the way in front of him changed his face slightly, and did not say anything more, but walked silently and led them into the main gate. (To be continued......)
