Beauty and the Bodyguard

Prince Longbang was immediately dumbfounded.

yes! If Liu Ziyu doesn't want the third princess, then what the hell is he, the prince of the Long Kingdom, doing?

Offend the Hongshang Empire and the Fire Empire at the same time? Are you tired of living? !

"Daban...that's not what you said just now..."

Prince Longbang's face looked ugly. His previously inflated mentality was like a balloon punctured by a needle, bursting with a bang!

What should I do about this?

The old eunuch secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he just said was an exaggeration, because he was afraid that Prince Longbang would be too arrogant and have an erratic attitude, which would easily cause trouble.

Let him know how to be respectful now, and things will be much easier to handle in the future!

Prince Longbang scratched his head and fell into distress, not knowing how to deal with the affairs of the Fire Empire.

At this moment, someone outside the door came to announce that the prince of Hu Yue's title kingdom was here!

"Ah? Why did he come here? And there was no news at all in advance?"

After hearing this, Prince Longbang was immediately surprised.

Strictly speaking, the Longbang Titled Kingdom and the Huyue Titled Kingdom are still at war, and they are truly hostile countries!

Prince Hu Yue came to the door in person. Was he here to give someone away?

"Your Majesty, Prince Hu Yue must have received the news of the demise of the Shanlian Empire, the establishment of a new dynasty, and the enthronement of the new emperor, so he came to discuss it with the king, right?"

The old eunuch was clear in his heart, knowing that under the current situation, Longbang Title Kingdom would definitely not embarrass Prince Hu Yue.

Prince Hu Yue also recognized this point and quietly came to the royal capital of the Long Kingdom.

"That makes sense! Please invite Prince Hu Yue... No! I will personally greet you!"

Prince Long Bang felt that if he wanted to solve the problem of the Fire Empire, it might be easier with Prince Hu Yue!

Therefore, he did not pretend to be the new emperor's abbot, but went out to greet him personally.

"Hahahaha, Prince Hu Yue, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to arrive suddenly. I was not prepared. I missed you from afar. Please forgive me!"

As soon as Prince Long Bang saw Prince Hu Yue, he immediately opened his arms to welcome him, as if he were reunited with an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, without any sense of shame as he had just robbed someone else's house.

However, Prince Hu Yue did not perform a long-awaited reunion drama with Prince Long Bang in the same manner. When he saw Prince Long Bang approaching, he knelt down on one knee and held a scroll of brocade silk above his head in both hands.

"Prince Longbang, I came here in person today to ask you to surrender! We Mingren will not speak secretly. Instead of being annexed by the Fire Empire, I would rather dedicate the Huyue Titled Kingdom to the Longbang Titled Kingdom and become the jurisdiction of Longbang A county of!"

Prince Hu Yue said these words loudly, without any sense of embarrassment: "I personally came to ask for surrender, isn't it enough to show the sincerity of our Hu Yue Kingdom? If Prince Longbang doesn't believe it, there is no problem in killing me!"

The corners of Prince Long Bang's mouth twitched, and he opened his arms to hug Prince Hu Yue, but he was shortened by half and knelt down...

This is a bit embarrassing!

Prince Longbang was considering whether to go up and pull the person up to give him a warm welcome and hug, regardless of the situation. Or should you quietly put your hands down and pretend that nothing happened?

"Prince Hu Yue's words are serious. You and I are separated by a strip of water. We are brothers. We are talking about whether to surrender or not. Hurry up and talk!"

After a slight hesitation, Prince Longbang decided to adopt a moderate strategy. He first quietly lowered his arms, and then calmly went up to help the person up.

At the same time, he must wear an awkward yet polite smile on his face to reflect his current noble status.

In fact, Prince Hu Yue was not used to kneeling before Prince Longbang, so he stood up with help.

In order not to appear obtrusive, he put the brocade silk in his hand into Prince Longbang's hand.

"This is a letter of surrender! I believe that the Prince of Long State will also be happy to accept us! After all, the current situation, the Prince will not be involved with the Fire Empire, right?"

Prince Hu Yue glanced at Prince Long Bang's face, and simply explained straight to the point: "Everyone understands, so I won't beat around the bush! We, Hu Yue's title kingdom, are fighting on two fronts. We can still sustain it for a while, but absolutely It won’t be long.”

"Rather than collapse in the end, it would be much easier if you surrendered your Dragon Kingdom and join forces to fight against the Fire Empire! With the relationship between Prince Long and you and the new emperor, reinforcements from the new dynasty will be coming soon. Will come!"

Prince Longbang was stunned. He really couldn't accept Prince Hu Yue's straightforward statement!

Do you dare him to surrender just because the new emperor Liu Ziyu is the son-in-law of Prince Long Bang?

The old eunuch lowered his head and said nothing, but in his heart he was praising Prince Hu Yue for being a sensible person!

Prince Hu Yue grasped the situation quite accurately. He knew that with the relationship between Liu Ziyu and the three princesses, Longbang Title Kingdom would only be stronger in the future, which was definitely not comparable to Hu Yue Title Kingdom.

After this battle, even if Hu Yue's title kingdom can still survive, its vitality will definitely be severely damaged, and the gap with Long Bang's title kingdom will become wider and wider.

So he simply offered to surrender and attach himself to the Longbang Titled Kingdom, which was equivalent to attaching himself to Liu Ziyu!

In this way, not only can the strength be better preserved, but also the relationship with the new emperor can be closer. Maybe after the situation is stabilized, it can return to the title kingdom.

The old eunuch here is praising Prince Hu Yue for being a sensible person, and Prince Hu Yue over there is also lamenting that Prince Longbang has hired a good consort!

No, it can no longer be said that he is recruiting a consort!

Because Liu Ziyu became the emperor, it can be said that the third princess married a good husband and rose to heaven in one step, and she was going to be the queen!

"Prince Hu Yue, don't say these words anymore. You and I are both princes of a titled kingdom under the Hongshang Empire. How can we say who is dependent on whom? Where will that put our Majesty?"

Prince Longbang bowed his hands in the direction of the imperial capital in an upright manner, and said with an upright face: "You and I are brothers who are like brothers. At this time, some misunderstandings have occurred. Let's just let it go. Don't take it to heart!"

Taking over Hu Yue's title kingdom will double the territory of Longbang's title kingdom. It must be a lie to say that Prince Longbang is not interested!

But in the face of greater interests, his heartbeat was immediately wiped out!

I'm going to the imperial capital soon to be the head of the state. They are real relatives of the emperor, and they will definitely get a real official position. Who has time to take over your Hu Yue title kingdom?

On the other hand, if this offends the new emperor, it would be a foolish thing to choose sesame seeds and lose the watermelon!

Prince Longbang snorted secretly and couldn't help but praise his wit.

"Now the Fire Empire is still attacking your Hu Yue Titled Kingdom. As a brother country, our Longbang Titled Kingdom will definitely support you in your fight against the enemy!"

Prince Longbang pretended to ponder for a moment, and then immediately continued: "Prince Hu Yue, you mobilize the army of your title kingdom to defend to the death, and you must delay the attack of the Fire Empire. I will secretly send all kinds of food, grass, supplies, and weapons I went over to give you a little support!"
