"As a friend, I want you to live a little longer, and as the Queen of Rus, I want you to die sooner...... It can't be too soon, just die at the end of our covenant, and of course, maybe I'll kill you with my own hands then. "Anyway, Angelina is at least telling the truth.

Xiao Chen was very pleased.

"I'm glad we're friends, and I accept your blessings." Xiao Chen said, "But if we become enemies again in the future, I am also willing to die in your hands...... But we still talk about the things in front of us, and I don't mean time, not my life, but the situation is very urgent now. ”

"Oh? I thought you were in control of the situation all the time. Angelina said.

"If I had such a great ability, I wouldn't have to run here badly." Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, "I'm just a governor of the Great Zhou, and Yanyun County is only a county of the Great Zhou, you are the Empress of Rus, and I am not the emperor of the Great Zhou." ”

"Then I really overestimate you, in that case, why don't I cooperate directly with the Great Zhou Emperor?" Angelina smiled.

"If you want, I can take you to him now, and if he knows you're coming, he'll even move to see you himself." Xiao Chen said lightly.

"Okay, stop kidding, let's get down to business." Angelina kept diverging her words, but she bit back, "What exactly do you mean by tension?" What does it have to do with us Ross? ”

"I have a hunch that as soon as half a year, at the latest a year, my Yanyun County will face a war, the best situation is to face an attack from one side, and the worst situation is to face a two-sided attack." Xiao Chen said.

"Your hunch?" Angelina said to herself, I didn't even know you could tell fortunes.

"Maybe I'm a person with a stronger sense of crisis, right?" Xiao Chen said, "I have already thought about it last night, this is the condition for me to resurrect you...... One. ”

"One?" Angelina sneered.

"I thought I had made it clear enough, first, that I was buying your ship with real money, and that was my concession; Second, I have told you my intention to buy a battleship, and this is my sincerity; Third, if the situation in Yanyun changes drastically, there is no way to talk about cooperation between you and me, which is my worry. Xiao Chen said.

"If I promise to sell you warships, then your next condition is to buy our armaments, right?" Angelina said, "Muskets, artillery......"

"You're wrong, dear, I just want your battleship, in fact, the one you sold me without any guns, so that maybe it won't make you too embarrassed, and of course, you will have to make some concessions on the price."

"Did I hear me right? You just need battleships, not artillery? "Angelina was really surprised.

"I hope you start thinking about this now, I need to get these battleships in the shortest possible time, and if I can, at least fifty to a hundred by the end of this year, I also need time to familiarize my soldiers with the battleships......" Xiao Chen said.

"You know it's impossible to be so fast!" Angelina exclaimed, "I'll need to consult with my courtiers and generals when I get back, and they won't approve of me doing so." ”

"I may not have explained it yet, or you haven't understood it yet." Xiao Chen frowned, "If you can't deliver these warships to me before the end of this year, I will have to reconsider the partnership between us, because I can't face the huge pressure from the three sides alone, I can only change my strategy!" ”

"You're threatening me?" Angelina's eyes widened.

"It's not that you're listening to me!" Xiao Chenqi slapped the case, "Now I have to step on four boats to barely seek stability in the turbulent current, as long as I step on the air, not only will I die, but these four boats will also have to sink, even if they don't sink, they are full of holes!" ”

Angelina's careful thoughts, what does Xiao Chen not know?

She probably just wants to wait for herself to start a war with the Dongying people, which will inevitably involve the Great Zhou, plus the northern tribes, under the melee of all parties, the northern border will inevitably be chaotic, then she can take the opportunity to advance by water, go south, and sweep the North China Sea and the East China Sea and even the entire northern border.

You think so beautiful!

What if I'm a child? I will never let this happen, then the only option at that time is to be forced to abandon Gao Juli, and form a military alliance with Dongying, with the backing of Da Zhou, to fight against you Russ with all my might!

So before you send your troops south, maybe we'll go north first!

Because Xiao Chen will never let the flames of war spread to my northern realm, I can only be forced to actively defend and launch an active attack! At that time, I will definitely contact the Western countries to attack you together, and I also have friends in the Western Ocean, let me tell you!

Aren't you Ross awesome? I'd like to see how awesome you are!

Can it resist attacks from the east, west, and south?

Of course I don't want to do that, but if you're still so obsessed with playing intrigue with me, that's all I can do.

Now I'll give you a day to think about it, and I'll give me a definite answer tomorrow.

But don't worry, I'll help you come back to life, because if I say it, I will do it, but it's not like you're unpredictable!

After that, he left Angelina and went straight out.

He also had to meet someone, Xu Haiming.

Of course, I couldn't see it directly, and I had to take a detour, so I sent someone to find out in advance that Wang Anbang was not in the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, so I came with high momentum.

When the officials of the Ministry saw Lord Xiao in person, they didn't dare to slack off, after all, this master's reputation has never been very good.

Hurry up and invite in, good tea reception, Zhang Wu personally came to accompany him in person, please be finished, then I cautiously ask Lord Xiao to insult our officials, I don't know what advice?

"Are you looking for Lord Wang Anbang to say something, hehe, am I here unfortunate or is Lord Wang deliberately avoiding me?" Xiao Chen was not good as soon as he spoke.

"How could Lord Wang avoid you, Lord Xiao?" Zhang Wuyu smiled, "Yes, you also went out on business, and besides, you didn't send someone to inform you before you came, and we adults don't know if you want to come, right?" ”

"I'm in a hurry, but I can't wait! Since Lord Wang is not here, who is in charge of your ministry now? Xiao Chen looked businesslike.

"Uh...... It's Xu Haiming and Xu Shilang. Zhang Wu said busily.

"Xu Haiming?" Xiao Chen frowned when he heard this name, "Why is he still in the ministry?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Wuxin said that this is not nonsense? Xu Haiming is our servant in the ministry, can he still be in the military department if he is not in the ministry?

I know that you have a holiday with Xu Shilang...... Amitabha, don't fight him again.

"Call him." Xiao Chen said with a grin.
