Data Wasteland

When Dadongting's victory spread all over the world, the Grand Duke of Zhennan couldn't sit still any longer, and rushed to Binglan City as quickly as possible to meet the Prime Minister.

He originally wanted to delay for a while, but he didn't expect that Duchess Xiaoyue would lose so quickly.

Although the North and South have not been unified yet, they are all under the actual control of the Two-Faced God. Unless he does not recognize the other's prime minister status, he can no longer maintain a neutral position.

The reason is very simple. The Principality of Tezera is a subordinate country of the Ambergris Caye United Kingdom, and Chen Xing represents the highest will of the North and the South. He can no longer maintain a neutral position.

If the other party asks him, "I alone have the final say in the north and south, who are you neutral with?"

He would be speechless, if the other party said again, "Could it be the fourth prince?"

His situation will be even more embarrassing. The fourth prince has failed, unless he plans to abandon his ancestral business and take his family to Green Continent to defect to the true king.

Obviously it wasn't a wise choice, so he gave in and came here.

At this time, the atmosphere inside and outside the door is completely opposite. Outside the door, the whole country celebrates with great joy, but inside the door is cold and silent, and the atmosphere is depressing.

The tall Nangong Xuanwu looked at the young man sitting behind the desk with his eyes closed, and after several hesitations, he took a step forward.

Nangong Xuanwu took a deep breath and was about to salute with one knee, but was stopped by the other party raising his hand.

"I'm just an official, and I don't need to give me the royal gift."

After speaking, Chen Xing opened his eyes and looked at Nangong Xuanwu in a general's uniform. He saw that the other party was strong and powerful, and he wore a series of medals on his chest. The stars will shine, and the military exploits are illustrious.

Hearing Chen Xing's words, Nangong Xuanwu straightened his slightly bent knees. If he could, he would never kneel. The hairy boy in front of him, relying on the favor of the queen, ascended to the sky in one step and made him kneel, he felt that he had humiliated the ancestors of the Nangong family.

However, due to the previous rebellion of the fourth prince, although he did not directly participate, he was suspected of supporting him, so he had to kneel to show his loyalty.

But the other party didn't seem to appreciate it and stopped him directly.

Seeing the change in Nangong Xuanwu's expression, Chen Xing was not in the mood to pay attention to what the other party was thinking.

"Sir, please speak." Nangong Xuanwu nodded and clasped his fists in a very respectful manner.

Chen Xing stretched out three fingers, "Within three days, disband the National Protector Army."

The plain voice fell into my ears, but it was like a thunderous shock. Nangong Xuanwu's face changed greatly, "What, the Prime Minister wants to disband the National Protector Army!"

"No, you can't!"

"The National Protector Army is the kingdom's barrier and the first line of defense against the desert cavalry's northern invasion."

"Once disbanded, the southern border will be empty. If the sand people take the opportunity to attack, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Master Prime Minister, please think twice!"

Chen Xing raised his hand to stop it, and Nangong Xuanwu finally realized his gaffe and shut his mouth wisely.

"Lord Nangong" Chen Xing looked at the other party's eyes and asked slowly, "Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

"But, but" Nangong Xuanwu said anxiously, "I didn't want such a thing to happen. You also know that since the establishment of the kingdom, the National Protector Army was nominally under my command, but in fact, it was directly under the imperial court. of"

"King Nangong!" Chen Xing interrupted, "Let's stop playing word games, okay?"

"I can find 10,000 reasons for you to be forced by reality, and I can also find 10,000 reasons for you to actively deal with it."

"So, what you said doesn't make sense."

"I, I." Nangong Xuanwu wanted to argue, but he was at a loss for words, and he was speechless with his mouth open.

"King Nangong!" Chen Xing said again, with a dignified tone, "You should feel lucky."

"I didn't compare Tezera with the rebels, it was the greatest tolerance."

"Please don't make any further progress, or else"

Chen Xing's eyes turned cold, "Silver Claw, Tianqin, it's your fate!"

"You will be stuffed into Tongren Alley, your male clansmen will be killed or exiled, your wife and daughter will be subjected to endless humiliation and torture, and finally they will be sold to New Edo."

"Master Prime Minister, please pay attention to your words!"

King Nangong clenched his fists, his aura soared, and the coercion belonging to the legendary powerhouse filled the air.

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and leaned forward, "I'm just stating the facts to you"

"Whether you like it or not."

After a few deep breaths, Nangong Xuanwu forcibly suppressed the anger, and the energy storm gradually subsided.

"I never thought, against you, against the Queen." Nangong Xuanwu said sincerely.

"only"

"The disbanding of the national defense military is of great importance and may lead to a series of immeasurable consequences"

"I don't care what the consequences are!" Chen Xing interrupted Nangong Xuanwu, "I only know that I won't raise a dog that bites its master!"

At this moment, Chen Xing suddenly seemed to think of something, changed his mouth and said, "Oh"

"I can also not disband the National Protector Army."

"Since the Grand Duke of Zhennan thinks they are so important"

Nangong Xuanwu suddenly looked happy, "Sir, please speak!"

"From now on, Tezera will pay taxes in accordance with the national defense army's military spending standards."

"Whoever has the ability to support it, let him support it!"

Chen Xing pointed to the powerful middle-aged man in front of Kong Wu, "You can, so can the Fourth Prince!"

"Whoever has the money, he/mother will keep it!"

Nangong Xuanwu's face changed suddenly, angry, humiliated, unwilling, his fists clenched.

But there was a trace of fear in his eyes!

It was this trace of fear that maintained his sanity and kept him from breaking out on the spot.

"King Nangong!" Chen Xing stretched out three fingers again, "You have three days"

"Remember, three days!"

"Either pay me the tax, or" Chen Xing said with a threat in his eyes, "Do whatever you need to do!"

Nangong Xuanwu clenched his fists and frowned.

Chen Xing was not in a hurry for the other party's answer. He put his hands on the table and looked at the other party quietly.

Nangong Xuanwu's face changed several times, his fists loosened little by little, and finally, as if accepting his fate, he nodded and sighed, "I understand."

"Just understand." Chen Xing smiled.

Then Nangong Xuanwu asked again, "Master Prime Minister, can Tezera's army absorb some of the soldiers of the National Protector Army?"

Chen Xing thought about it and replied, "If you can guarantee their loyalty to the kingdom and the queen, you can consider it, but"

"Only for grassroots soldiers." His voice was low, "Officer, don't even think about it!"

There are a large number of the National Protector Army, and if they are to be arrested and sentenced, I am afraid that the prisons full of Ambergris Caverns will not be enough.

In contrast, the Protectorate Army did not have as many advanced combat powers, and was not as threatening as the Imperial Guard Army. As long as they were disbanded, they would not be able to make waves.

As for whether you are worried about being recruited by the Fourth Prince, let alone that these people are in the country, Lan Guo has the money to support them.

"Thank you!" Nangong Xuanwu nodded in greeting, then clasped his fists and said, "In order to show loyalty and respect to the Queen and the Prime Minister, Tesera voluntarily paid half the cost of the National Protector Army to Ice Blue City."

"Very good!" Chen Xing stood up happily, walked around the desk, picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Nangong Xuanwu.

"King Nangong, you made a very wise decision!" Chen Xing praised.

"Thank you for your love." Nangong Xuanwu took the glass and bowed to Chen Xing.
