In this way, Xiao Yifeng and Ni Zeen reached an initial consensus, but it was only preliminary. Xiao Yifeng also left something to be desired, that is, he needed to negotiate with other high-level officials to let Ni Zeen stay in the imperial capital for a few days.

If everything goes well, formal written documents can be signed in a few days.

In this way, Ni Zeen began to wait, and then, what should have been a few days of waiting turned into days and days. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, but there was still no definite news.

Ni Zeen repeatedly urged to no avail, so he secretly contacted the spies lurking within the imperial government.

This agent did not penetrate into the upper echelons, but he still found out some clues, that is, there was a recent visit from the fish people, and even old Wei Chi also showed up.

Sure enough, the alliance between the two empires is not an easy thing, and the interest groups involved are far beyond imagination.

Seeing that the day when the Zerg officially invaded was getting closer and closer, Ni Zeen was extremely anxious. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and planned to take the initiative to force Xiao Yifeng.

So Ni Zeen visited Xiao Yifeng again, but this time he wanted to say goodbye.

If Xiao Yifeng retains him, it means that he is leaning towards the alliance. If he does not retain him, then there is no time wasted. But according to Ni Zeen's guess, the probability of Xiao Yifeng retaining him should be greater.

However, the fact is that Xiao Yifeng did not stay, but sent him off with a smile.

Ni Zeen was furious in his heart. He was very unwilling and finally said: "We had a good discussion before, but I still suggest you not to be brainwashed by the fish people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Xiao Yifeng's face immediately solidified. Slowly, the enthusiasm disappeared, and the smile became colder and colder.

"I will not be brainwashed by anyone. I am not Lao Po Kong."

"Hopefully, I look forward to our next meeting." Ni Zeen bowed one last time and left the office.

On the plane back, Ni Zeen was uneasy. He felt that Xiao Yifeng was even more complicated and difficult to predict than Lao Pokong. Although the alliance failed, he at least hoped that Xiao Yifeng would not add insult to injury, otherwise Yan Guo would face a situation that would be even worse.

situation.

When the plane was flying at low altitude over the Pacific Ocean, Ni Zeen saw a huge sea whale spraying water. The amount of water sprayed up to an altitude of 10,000 meters and then fell in all directions, as if it was pouring rain. The scene was even spectacular.

Ni Zeen's assistant couldn't help but exclaimed: "It can actually spray water to a height of 10,000 meters."

"There's nothing surprising. This giant whale is the famous mobile battleship of the fishmen, known as the Kun Emperor. I heard that it holds an entire city in its belly."

"It's so scary. The fish-men have become a race that cannot be underestimated."

"Yes, to a certain extent, the fish-men are similar to the dark tribe. They can both transform ordinary people, but the transformation methods are different. The dark tribe only needs to bite them to assimilate, but the fish-men need to capture ordinary people and convert them into

It is submerged in a special murloc pool."

"I didn't expect you to know such a thing?"

"The regent told me that there was once an elite team that infiltrated into the Emperor of Kun and took a lot of information. However, the elite team was intercepted while escaping and almost the whole army was wiped out. However, one of the cameras was thrown into the Emperor of Kun in time.

The camera was finally discharged smoothly and sank to the bottom of the sea. The camera had a locator, so

We finally found the camera. Fortunately, the special camera was waterproof and had a strong waterproof function, so a lot of confidential video data was preserved. One of the videos recorded the process of ordinary people transforming into fish-men."

"Wow, I really want to take a look."

"That's a confidential document, even I can't read it."

"Okay, I'll just say it casually." The assistant smiled.

On the other side, at the top of Emperor Kun's skin, were standing several fishmen, and they were talking about the plane that was getting away.

"If the world continues to be at peace, Yanguo's science and technology will continue to make breakthroughs and continue to advance rapidly."

"That's right, we can't delay it any longer. Technology is our shortcoming. The longer we delay, the more disadvantaged we will be."

"Xiao Yifeng's attitude has already moved towards ours. If nothing happens, Yan Kingdom will disappear from the map within a year."

"hope so."

After Ni Zeen returned to China, Su Kouye personally summoned him. When he knew Xiao Yifeng's attitude, his expression became particularly solemn.

"It seems that Xiao Yifeng doesn't care about the mere trade benefits."

"Xiao Yifeng wants to make war fortune. His ambition is greater than I imagined." Ni Zeen sighed.

"It's to be expected. After all, if he had no ambition, he wouldn't kidnap Lao Po Kong. Now that things have happened, he can only find another way."

On the other side, Po Kong and Jiang Wei began to mobilize their troops and had unknowingly controlled the main road of Yunlan City. Any Kedoin who passed through would need to undergo interrogation and investigation. As long as weapons, ores, and armor were found,

All other resources will be confiscated.

The civilians and merchants of Kedoin complained a lot, but they did not dare to resist openly. They could only report the matter to the city lord, hoping that the city lord would uphold justice for them.

For this reason, the Lord of Yunlan City specially invited the Governor of Northern Province to come to Yunlan City as a guest.

Po Kong had been to many places in Yunlan City. The huge Yunlan City could not contain Po Kong, so he readily accepted the invitation.

At the banquet, the city lord Zoe personally poured wine for Po Kong and said in greeting: "I thought the governor would shirk, but I didn't expect to keep the appointment so soon."

"Well, we have recently seized a lot of your equipment and resources. I think you will definitely come to me, so there is no need to shirk it. Besides, I have been to Yunlan City many times and it is very safe."

"Haha, it's safe, of course it's safe. When you come here, you feel like you're at your own home."

"Zoe, Zoe, when did you become so fond of flattery?"

"What flattery is meant, it's all from the bottom of my heart."

"Haha, it feels good. I feel so good hearing it. Come on, drink."

"Come."

Why would the once proud Zoe be willing to please Po Kong? Mainly because many things have happened in Yunlan City in the past few years.

A few years ago, there were more than 500,000 troops stationed in Yunlan City. After the battle with ghosts and gods, the number dropped sharply to about 400,000. Of course, except for some who were summoned away by the queen, at least 50,000 people were moved underground and worked with ants.

clan, and even the ghosts and gods have formed a secret alliance.

This is not the point. The point is that in the next few years, as the European regime gradually stabilized, the Zerg Queen Mikasa recalled the troops of Yunlan City many times. The troops of Yunlan City were reduced every month, and Zoe had to be

Forced obedience. Of course,

Zoe also tried to resist this process. He deliberately delayed it and even made excuses many times to reduce the number of recalled troops.

On several occasions, Zoe even used the excuse of building a city wall to directly refuse the queen's order and refused to send a single soldier.

Of course, Mikasa would not condone Zoe's self-respecting behavior, so she threatened Zoe many times. If she did not obey her orders, Mikasa would let the Zerg navy land in Yanhuang and launch a war against Yunlan City.

Of course, this kind of threat does not scare Zoe. Zoe knows that logging into Yanhuang without authorization will be regarded as an invasion of Yan Kingdom, and Su Kouye will definitely not agree.

It is true that Su Kouye would not agree, but he would not be stupid enough to anger the Zerg Queen in order to protect Zoe. Therefore, Yan Guo mediated, and finally made Mikasa and Zoe each take a step back. That was to force Zoe to continue to obey Mikasa.

Kai'Sa, but you can use the excuse of building a city wall to appropriately reduce the number of troops called away.

After several years, Yunlan City now only has one hundred thousand troops left. One hundred thousand people is Zoe's bottom line. If you want to maintain the operation and development of Yunlan City, one hundred thousand people cannot continue to decrease. So even if the sword is

Even if it is put to the neck, Zoe will not let his troops decrease any more. Zoe's behavior is already an act of open treason, but he has always promoted that he will always be a Zerg. The reason why he disobeyed orders is because of Yunlan City

development needs, everything he did was for the Zerg. Some of the native Europeans even supported Zoe's behavior.

Naturally, Mikasa couldn't accept Zoe's sophistry. She not only threatened to start a war many times, but also threatened Dole. However, Zoe still disobeyed orders and was even prepared to sacrifice Dole.

Mikasa originally wanted to sanction Zoe, but she once again made a request to Yanguo. Either Yanguo would help sanction Zoe, or it would give up the Bohai Bay and allow the Zerg navy to land.

Zoe has an army of 100,000, and has made great achievements in building the Great Wall. She even turns over a certain amount of resources every month to bribe Yanguo officials, so Su Kouye really doesn't want to deal with Zoe unless he has to. After all, if there is a real fight,

, there will definitely be a lot of sacrifices, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Of course, there is another way for Su Kouye to go, which is to give up the Bohai Bay and let the Zerg army deal with Zoe on his own. But as the most powerful country in Yanhuang, how could it do such a thing that humiliates the country? Of course, face

Not even the most important thing, the most important thing is to let the Zerg land, which itself is extremely dangerous. The Zerg is not good at sea battles, but it is very strong on land. If the Zerg army of millions or even tens of millions reaches the land, it will be very dangerous to the fire.

It will cause huge hidden dangers to the country's national defense security.

For this reason, Su Kouye made various mediations and even gave Mikasa a lot of gifts, just to put the matter aside. Of course, Su Kouye also prepared for the worst. If the queen didn't give up, he had no choice but to

Choose the first option, Yanguo personally eliminates Zoe. Although there will be a lot of losses, at least you can get the resources of Yunlan City, and you can also deepen the friendship between Yanguo and Insect Kingdom.

Miraculously, however, Sukouye's mediation was very effective. After receiving the gift, Mikasa gradually relented, gradually shelved the matter, and even stopped caring about Zoe's affairs.

At that stage, Su Kouye was still busy with the power struggle in Yanguo Wangcheng, so he did not study the matter in depth.

Only today did Zuko truly understand why Mikasa let go.
