Volume 9: Unified Will

Yun Haoyu was a little surprised and frowned and asked, "What are he here to do?"

"He said there are very important things and we must talk to His Majesty in person!" Shuangyan replied.

"It's now, what else is there to talk about?" He originally planned to refuse, but then he thought about it and changed his mind and ordered:

"Let him come in and see what the Duke's Highness intends to say to his master!"

Since Yun Haoyu escaped from the trap, all the Xiao family were arrested and detained by the Imperial Guard Corps. Broganing, who was a guest in the mansion, almost failed to escape. Later, Li Xingyan considered that he was a diplomatic envoy after all, and it was a bit inappropriate to deal with it rashly. Therefore, after reporting to His Majesty, he placed him in the embassy area under house arrest and was not allowed to go out at will without permission!

The other party came today, obviously not just to greet him, but also to discuss things. As for whether there will be a result, it depends on how Yun Haoyu is in a mood!

According to what Yun Tianque said last time, after learning that he was out of trouble and regained control of the situation, the duke seemed to have had some unusual ideas. He took this opportunity to see what the other party sold in the gourd.

After a moment, an old man with a tall and solid figure and a majestic face walked in. His light blue eyes flashed with deep eyes. The decorative gold-wire monocle glasses on the bridge of his nose were wiped cleanly. His brown-red hair was carefully combed, and he looked extremely neat.

After the other party came in, he looked at the young emperor on the throne in no trace with the corner of his eyes, then bowed deeply and greeted respectfully in a low and elegant tone: "External minister Nikola Ivnovic Broganing has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Starry Empire..."

Yun Haoyu raised his hand gently and said calmly: "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite, sit down and talk! I wonder what His Majesty Ulyonov IV of your country wants to say to me this time?"

Broganin was not busy answering his questions, but just smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, it's been more than a year since he parted last time. Your Majesty's style is even better than the past! The foreign ministers were also very pleased to see it. The Yun family has been passed down for thousands of years, has a profound heritage and is full of talents. They have always had a good cooperative relationship with the foreign minister's family..."

Yun Haoyu looked at him in confusion, then glanced at Yun Tianque next to him, interrupting his upcoming long speech, and said in a concise and clear manner:

"Dear Duke, you seem to be off topic. What we are discussing now should be the issue between the two countries. How about the private friendship between the two families after the discussion of official matters?"

Broganing's voice was as calm and elegant as ever: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister is indeed responsible for the heavy trust of His Majesty in our country. Of course, now, the foreign minister wants to talk to His Majesty alone. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to give this opportunity?"

Yun Haoyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I can promise you! Of course, Duke Yun Tianque will also participate, is there no problem?"

"Your Majesty said very well, and the foreign ministers have no objection." He replied with satisfaction.

After a while, in a decorated secret hall, the two sides met again and the guests and hosts sat down.

In addition to Yun Tianque, Fang Mengyan was also present. This was specially explained by Feng Lanxi to protect his safety in person.

Broganin looked at the eldest princess sitting next to His Majesty. She held Yun Haoyu with her left hand and pressed her right hand on the hilt of the sword around her waist. Her eyes looked at him were full of vigilance.

He cleared his throat and spoke first: "Your Majesty, regarding the marriage between the two countries agreed by the foreign minister and Empress Xiao..."

Suddenly, Fang Mengyan's pretty face sank, her eyebrows were raised, and she subconsciously held the hilt of the sword in her hand, staring at him viciously, and she was about to draw the sword and chop people if she had any disagreement.

Feeling the princess' murderous gaze, Broganing's eyes twitched and hurriedly said, "The Foreign Minister wants to say that since this peace agreement has not been recognized by Your Majesty, it is naturally impossible to count! Moreover, Your Highness has already had a heart to belong, so how could the Foreign Minister be so ignorant? So Your Highness doesn't have to do this!"

Fang Mengyan's heart was relieved, and a red cloud floated on her moist and white face. She snorted heavily, and leaned against Yun Haoyu like a demonstration.

Yun Haoyu smiled and said, "I promised the eldest princess that no matter who she likes or who she doesn't like in the future, it is her freedom and no one can interfere! Therefore, it is best that His Highness the Duke can be so reasonable!"

"What do you want to say this time when your Majesty sent you here? If you want to negotiate peace, you have to see what conditions you can offer!"

Broganing replied calmly: "At present, Your Majesty, do you think there is still peace talks between the two countries? With the strength of the Star Light Empire, it should be obvious that the human world will be completely integrated into a unique regime within one year, right?"

"So, you are planning this time..." Yun Haoyu felt that he had understood what he meant.

"I can no longer fight for anything for the Gnaslok Empire, so this time I will discuss with Your Majesty for the future of the family!" The Duke said in a solemn voice, "As long as your Majesty is willing, I can immediately lead the entire clan to surrender to the Xinghui Empire and ensure that I will never betray it for generations!"

Yun Haoyu's eyes flashed and he said calmly:

"His family of His Highness the Duke is one of the best families in the Gnaslok Empire. As early as the beginning of the empire, it has been a vassal of the royal family, and has been passed down for thousands of years and has been prosperous! Have you begun to consider changing the ranks? I heard that your country's military strength is now recovering rapidly. When the empire is ready for unification in the future, His Majesty Ulyonov IV may not have the power to fight!"

Broganing sighed: "No matter how many ordinary fleets are there in front of His Majesty's Death Starship, what's the point? Since even the Miliams' "Ice Goddess" cannot help but fail, with the technological level of the Gnaslok Empire, it is even less than enough to see!"

"I might as well give your Majesty a clear idea. Ulyonov IV also knows that the future war with the Star Empire is not likely to win or negotiate peace. Therefore, the senior officials of the empire have secretly formulated plans to exile Miliam Empire and the wild star field. They will be implemented when the war is unfavorable in the future!"

"Well, this is indeed a relatively wise decision," Yun Haoyu smiled, "Of course, he will soon find that although the starry sea is large, there is no place for him to live in! After unifying the human world, I will continue to send troops to destroy those alien civilizations, and then expand into the wild star field in large numbers! Therefore, whether he or not he escapes, the result is the same!"

"I sincerely admire Your Majesty's ambitions and believe that all this becomes a reality!" Broganing said convincedly, "So I am willing to lead the entire clan to join the Starry Empire, just to prevent the family's glory and inheritance from being cut off. I hope Your Majesty can accept it!"

"That's it..." He looked at his grandfather, and Yun Tianque immediately spoke:

"It is not impossible to accept His Highness's family, but what are the benefits of this for our Majesty and the Empire?"

Broganing said: "I am willing to provide Your Majesty with all the information you know about the Gnaslok Empire! And in the process of your Majesty's future unification, with the help of my family, the Starlight Empire will complete the great cause of unification in a shorter time! It will achieve unprecedented martial arts!"

Even if this proposal is a letter of fame and has enough temptation, the status of the Broganing family in the Gnaslok Empire is similar to the status of the Yun family in the Shufeng Empire. It has many clan members, and its disciples and old friends cover all areas of the empire, and its potential is extremely amazing!

With such a family, Yun Haoyu can indeed save a lot of trouble, especially after the War of Unification, in order to truly incorporate this vast new land into the imperial military administrative management system, it would be impossible without the cooperation of local forces!

So at present, the return of such a big family is indeed more beneficial than disadvantages for Yun Haoyu.

"I can understand His Highness's considerations," he said slowly after weighing the pros and cons:

"However, over the years when the empire fought against foreign countries, the arrangements for those powerful aristocratic families in the newly acquired land have already been established. If you plan to come here, I wonder if you can accept such rules?"

What he meant is that after the unification in the future, all the direct members of this family must leave their hometown and move to the Tianhua Star Domain for easy control.

Broganing replied: "This minister can guarantee acceptance. Of course, because of the great contributions of my family to the empire in the future and the relationship between the Yun family and our generations, I wonder if Your Majesty can give us some preferential treatment?"

"Is it preferential treatment?" Yun Haoyu smiled, "It's not impossible to discuss if you want preferential treatment. Of course, this depends on your future performance! You can discuss the specific details with the Duke of Yuntianque in detail, and I will authorize him to preside over the matter."

"That's good!" He said with satisfaction. "For now, I can assure Your Majesty that at least half of the top ten wealthy families in the Gnaslok Empire can surrender to the Empire under our persuasion! All the resources they control can be used by Your Majesty!"

As he said that, he took out a box and opened it in front of Yun Haoyu. It contained several large-capacity optical brain chips and several paper documents.

"This is a list of gifts from several of our companies to His Majesty," he explained. "The content in the chip is the defense map of the entire empire. All important military goals, secret waterways, rare resource origins and reserve bases, and the expansion of the empire's military power over the past period of time are all included. I believe it will be of great help to His Majesty's future military operations!"

Yun Haoyu looked at him in surprise and nodded, "This is indeed good news, okay! I believe in your sincerity. What else do you have to ask for? Let me ask them together!"

Broganing smiled and said, "It's so good, so I won't be pretentious! Our family and the Yun family have been in good terms for hundreds of years. In order to strengthen and consolidate the friendship between the two families, there have been many marriages! I heard that the two queens of Your Majesty are now unable to be in charge for some reason, and the lord of the central palace is absent, and my two granddaughters are just young and have good temperament and appearance. Why not just promise him to be the new empress of the empire?"

“…”

At that moment, Fang Mengyan had the urge to tear the other party apart.
