Yun Haoyu glanced at the other party lightly, and said indispensably:

"Please? That's just nice to say! Your Excellency Elder Kumron, I have only one question for you, ...... Can you represent the Bojiang family? ”

"Of course, Great Your Majesty!" Kumlong said respectfully, "Before the foreign minister set off, he was personally instructed by Her Majesty Empress Ruiyaqin to come to discuss with Your Majesty the matter of permanent submission to the human world on behalf of the Bojiang Empire!" ”

Yun Haoyu lazily leaned on the emperor's seat, looking at the envoy below and several of his attachés with an expressionless face, and did not say anything for a long time.

Su Shangqing asked coldly:

"Your Excellency, since you are here this time, let us make your intentions clear! Please? Submission? Sorry, we're not interested in these word games, we just want to know how much the Bojiang clan can give in exchange for their chances of survival! ”

"Don't forget who you are, and don't try to test our bottom line!" Tian Xuanhao added, "Before you speak, please keep in mind the fact that the army of the Starlight Empire can kill all your remaining clansmen in only half a month at most, and we have the ability and determination to put it into action at any time!" ”

Kumron's face turned pale, and before he set off, he thought he was mentally prepared for the troubles that might be encountered on this trip, but now he found that the high-level of the Starlight Empire was even more difficult to deal with than he imagined, and he didn't intend to follow the usual negotiation procedures at all, but went straight to the point from the beginning!

Of course, he didn't dare to say anything at this time, let alone show the slightest dissatisfaction. In other words, if the status of the two sides is reversed, their attitude will only be more arrogant and domineering!

Taking a deep breath, he said in a more humble tone: "Great Your Majesty, the foreign minister came this time, not for anything else, but to win an insignificant living space for the clansmen!" If the Imperial Legion is willing to spare the Pojiang clan, then we are willing to pay the following price! ”

"First, the Council of Elders of the Imperial Court announced the abolition of Empress Qi and handed her over to His Majesty, as well as all the main battle factions; Second, the Bojiang clan unconditionally submits to the human world and will never betray it from generation to generation; Third, all the wealth in the treasury of the Bojiang Empire will be unconditionally handed over to the Starlight Empire; Fourth, two-thirds of the territory under the original rule of the Pojiang Empire will be unconditionally ceded to the Starlight Empire......"

There are more than thirty articles of various clauses in total, and literally, the Bojiang clan does have some sincerity this time, but in the eyes of Yun Haoyu Junchen, these things are obviously far from enough!

Zhong Xuanying asked slowly, "Your Excellency Elder Kumlong, how should you explain the word 'submission'?" Do you think that just a humble word, a nice name, can fool us? ”

"Of course not, Your Royal Highness!" Kumlong hurriedly explained, "As long as the empire can accept the submission of our people, then from now on, the annual financial income of the Bojiang clan will be handed over to the imperial government free of charge; The various rare resources in the territory will also be supplied to the empire at cost price; For all goods imported into the Starlight Empire, only a symbolic tariff will be imposed; In foreign exchanges, the Pojan clan will also give priority to the interests of the empire...... The detailed terms have been prepared by the foreign ministers, and please take a look at them! ”

As he spoke, he took out a beautiful paper contract and handed it to the female officer next to him with both hands. After strict inspection by the palace guards, it was placed in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Yun Haoyu glanced at it disappreciatively, and had no intention of opening it at all, but said directly: "Elder Kumlong, since you are here this time, if you go back empty-handed, the empress who wants to come to you must not mind letting your head move somewhere, right?" ”

"Since you still want to reach some agreement, I will ask you a few questions now, and I hope you can answer them truthfully!"

Kumron said: "Whatever Your Majesty wants to ask, just ask!" The minister must know everything, and he must say everything! ”

"That's good," Yun Haoyu leaned forward slightly, staring at the other party with cold eyes, and asked word by word:

"My queen was once taken captive by you, where is she now?"

"This ......" Elder couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Yun Haoyu said coldly: "If I can't get a satisfactory answer to this question, then there is no need for us to talk about it!" ”

Kumlon's face changed again, and his mind quickly calculated how to deal with the emperor's questioning.

Of course, Fang Yuqing was imprisoned in the imperial capital, but this important hostage was something he was prepared to say again at the most critical moment in the negotiations with the Starlight Empire, as a bargaining chip to pressure the emperor to make concessions!

If you admit it now, then Yun Haoyu will inevitably ask herself to return to the queen first, and then negotiate, without this card, the Bojiang clan will inevitably be more passive! But if you deny it directly, the consequences will be even more serious, and His Majesty the Emperor who is angry will inevitably order the slaughter of the stars immediately, and there is no point in doing anything more!

He looked around blankly, the murderous senior generals on both sides of the jade staircase were all looking at him with the eyes of the dead, and the hands of the palace guards had already been placed on the hilt of the sword, maybe as long as the emperor gave an order, they would be dragged out immediately to "deal with"!

"Your Majesty is right, Empress Fang is indeed under house arrest in the Imperial Palace!" Kumlong sighed bitterly and replied slowly:

"The foreign minister will immediately ask Her Majesty the Empress of my family to send the Empress back unscathed, as a proof of our sincerity!"

After weighing it several times, he still decided to tell the truth, otherwise he would anger Yun Haoyu, and it would be a small matter for him to lose his head, endangering the lives of all the clansmen, and the sin would be great!

Yun Haoyu's face softened slightly: "Since that's the case, then you can go back first!" As long as my queen can return, the next negotiations will surely go more smoothly! ”

Kumron bowed deeply, then took his leave.

After he left, Su Shangqing couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, will they really be so obedient?" Wouldn't it be ...... if they took the queen hostage and blackmailed us into making concessions?"

Yun Haoyu smiled and said, "Now it's not like before, as long as that empress still has a minimum IQ, she won't risk completely angering the empire and do those foolish things!" ”

"So, if the other party really meets all our requirements, do we want to let this alien civilization go?" Luo Qiyue asked.

"What about this...... Yun Haoyu muttered, "It depends on their performance!" But even if I let them go, I don't want too many Bojiang people to survive! Order our fleet, in addition to continuing to besiege the imperial capital, continue to clear the remaining star fields, and strive to clean up more before the agreement is reached!"

Although Empress Qi is very talented, her mother still has some brains, and since the current Bojiang clan is in charge, no matter how harsh the terms are, it is estimated that she will grit her teeth and accept it, so some things Your Majesty will start doing now!

……

The next day, the envoys of the Bojan clan visited again, but this time it was no longer Kumron who was in charge, but Rui Yaqin herself.

"Your Majesty, don't come unharmed!" Yun Haoyu on the throne said calmly.

Rui Yaqin, who was dressed in plain clothes, glanced at him with a complicated expression, leaned down gracefully, and responded softly: "Great Your Majesty, the criminal minister has come to ask for surrender on behalf of the Bojiang clan!" From now on, I will always be a vassal of the Xinghui Empire, and I hope that Your Majesty will have mercy on our bloodline and let the people live! ”

Fang Yuqing looked at the familiar figure on the throne in a daze, her eyes slightly moistened.

The last time he was kidnapped, he still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but now it seems that he not only managed to get out of trouble and survived the crisis safely, but also became more and more profound in cultivation, and it was not in vain that he missed him every day.

It's just that time has passed, and it has been more than two years since we last met, is he still the same person he used to be?

didn't notice it for a while, causing him to be kidnapped by spies, the imperial capital was leaderless, and Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to plot rebellion, and even almost caused a drastic change! In his heart, will he hate himself for this?

Just as she was suddenly coming out of her mind, a gentle voice sounded in her ears: "Empress, are you okay?" ”

She was suddenly surprised, only to find that Yun Haoyu had stood in front of her at some point, and there was obvious concern in her deep eyes.

"Your Majesty, I ...... Very good! She replied in a little panic, her beautiful eyes reddening.

Yun Haoyu seemed to understand her thoughts, smiled disappreciatively, took her hand and walked up the jade steps again, and then took her to sit down.

"If you have anything to say, let's wait until the court meeting is over, let's deal with business first!" He whispered to her with a mental fluctuation.

Fang Yuqing nodded lightly, her heart was already filled with great joy.

"Well, Your Majesty, since you have shown enough sincerity, let's talk openly and honestly now!" Yun Haoyu straightened his expression, looked at Rui Yaqin below and said:

"Our terms are as follows: First, in view of the great losses that the Bojiang clan has brought to the Empire, from now on, you must give up all your independence and become completely vassals of the human world! Therefore, the Bojiang royal family should not continue to exist, and the empire will set up a separate management committee to deal with all the affairs within the Bojiang clan! ”

"Second, the Bojiang clan cannot use any form of armed force in the future, and the security affairs are the sole responsibility of the Imperial Legion; Third, except for the original imperial capital and the thirty star fields around it, the rest of the territory must be unconditionally handed over to the empire; Fourth, all the wealth in the treasury of the Bojiang clan must be handed over to the imperial government! Fifth, the last empress Dai Yu'er, as the number one war criminal, must be handed over to the empire, and all the main war factions and their family members are no exception; Sixth......"

There are nearly 100 articles of various articles, which can be said to be harsh to the extreme, but compared to the harm caused by the Bojiang Empire, such a treaty is actually not too much, at least they can avoid the fate of complete annihilation!
