After the death of the US strong villain, the hero and heroine BE

"Intermediary?" Li Xiaoji raised his eyebrows. Intermediary is another way of saying "career" and "spy". In the original plot, Lu Yingyang's proposal was rejected by the original person. If it were him, he would consider it.

There can be no tricks in this mission, but there is no need to be too step-by-step. After all, in the context of a multi-national melee, the situation is constantly changing, so it is best to be more prepared and adapt to changes.

Although he thought so, Li Xiaoji suddenly changed his expression, sneered, slapped Lu Yingyang's hand away, and looked him up and down.

After a while, he sneered and said: "The country of Yan has been destroyed. What is happening with the country of Ju? What does it have to do with me? Why should I take risks to protect the country of Ju for you?"

"What benefits do I have, what can you give me, or in other words, what can Ju State give me?"

"If the State of Yan is destroyed, you will only have a family of the State of Yu. The State of Meng is ambitious and menacing. To protect the State of Yu, I believe you will make a reasonable choice." Lu Yingyang retracted his hand and sat back down, saying.

Fortunately, he couldn't make a promise now. He had to get a reply from the eldest brother before he could speak according to the specific situation. If he made a promise, his newly friendly relationship with Li Xiaoji would immediately change.

Now, let's use "love" as the attack point. After all, Li Xiaoji and Xuan Ziqing are as close as brothers, and Yuguo is his other family. For the sake of the family, he has to make more plans, right?
Li Xiaoji was silent and looked at Lu Yingyang's face. Lu Yingyang let him look at him, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, waiting quietly.

This is a psychological war. Lu Yingyang must be steady. If he takes the first step, the rest of the matter will be easier to discuss, and he is confident that Li Xiaoji will speak first.

Sure enough, Li Xiaoji spoke without waiting for too long. He did not respond to the "insider" topic as Lu Yingyang thought, but gave another suggestion.

"If Ju State wants to gain more protection, perhaps it can think of a way from the central part. After all, Yan State is a central country. If it is suddenly destroyed, the central countries will naturally be unable to sit still and regard Meng State as a thorn in their side."

"Everyone understands the truth of the situation. The central countries in an awkward position are bound to fight back. At this time, I believe they will not refuse the friends who come to our door."

"If Ju State can take advantage of the situation and open up the relationship with the central part, then the north and the central part will be connected as one, and they can jointly curb the momentum in the west and stop them."

After speaking, Li Xiaoji took a sip of tea and stared at Lu Yingyang with crooked eyebrows to see his reaction.

Lu Yingyang frowned, a little surprised that Li Xiaoji would say this. He thought that the two of them would think of one place, which was to bypass the central part, unite with the south, and use the pressure of the southern countries to curb Meng's progress.

He said, "The central part? The terrain in the central part is complex, and it is difficult to contact each other. The location of Ju is also remote. Even if we can get help from the central countries, I am afraid it will have little effect."

"It's better to think of ways from other places, maybe we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"What if the Ju Kingdom is willing to merge into the central part?" Li Xiaoji said, standing up and reaching out to hold down Lu Yingyang, who was so shocked that he jumped up immediately after hearing this.

"In the past few years, the central Jian country's national strength has greatly increased. It has long had plans to expand its territory, but it was just because of the bad situation that it made rash moves."

"If the State of Ju shows goodwill to the State of Jian at this time, the State of Jian will open its doors to welcome it. From this, the State of Ju is no longer a small marginal country that can be manipulated. What the State of Meng wants to do must be carefully considered."

"Don't forget, there is only a mountain between Jian and Ju. Once they merge, this mountain will no longer be an obstacle. It will not be difficult for both countries to spend some effort to build a few roads."

"If used well, there will be an unobstructed trade route between the north and the center. With more economic exchanges, the alliance will naturally be stable."

With that said, Li Xiaoji took back her hand, walked up to Lu Yingyang, stretched out her hand to invite him to his small study, and pointed to the map hanging on the study.

Following Li Xiaoji's line of sight, Lu Yingyang saw the impact on the central part of the northwest after the merger of Jian and Ju. The central part had little impact, while the north would expand trade channels, while the west would be greatly restricted.

After all, the route from the north to Jian State has been planned, which means that the checkpoint has been cleared directly. The route in the west, whether it is north, middle or even south, will be affected. "But how can our country of Ju be reduced to a subsidiary of another country?" Lu Yingyang still didn't understand why Li Xiaoji made such a suggestion. He instinctively resisted and shook his head like a rattle.

Li Xiaoji, however, grimaced and said, "It depends on what you want, whether to merge with other countries to survive, or whether to perish like Yan's country."

"Back then, Yan Guoben also had the opportunity to get more help. As long as he was willing to bow his head and agree to merge into another country, even if he lost the throne, it would be easier..."

The unfinished words were understood by Lu Yingyang, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly. No, even if he agreed, he still wouldn't be able to pass the First Emperor Brother's test. This wouldn't work.

Then he expressed his original plan, saying that he would marry the southern countries, show goodwill to the central part, and connect the north, middle, and south together, so as to put pressure on the western countries.

"Marriage with the south?" Li Xiaoji shook his head and said, "Those countries in the south are the most xenophobic. Are you sure it's a marriage and not sending the 'Medicine Man' there?"

These words made Lu Yingyang's mouth twitch, but he wanted to laugh inexplicably. He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said: "There is a certain kinship relationship between the southern country of Xi and our country of Ju."

"If there is a marriage, the State of Ju will naturally take action from the State of Xi. The current Queen Mother of the State of Xi is my former Princess Duanyang of the State of Ju. My father has always wanted to welcome her home."

"Not only that, the palace she lived in was often cleaned, and every plant and tree was carefully cleaned. For this reason, the other party should not be too resistant to the marriage."

Li Xiaoji blinked, "Princess Duanyang? But the Princess Duanyang who led a group of soldiers to escape from the imperial city and escaped to the south when King Ji raised an army to usurp the throne?"

Thinking of the past that he only listened to briefly talked about by his father, Lu Yingyang nodded. Although he had never met Princess Duanyang, the few things she did alone were enough to make him feel complicated about this elder and he didn't know how to respect him. Should be afraid.

According to seniority, Princess Duanyang should be Lu Yingyang's cousin, and Prince Ji is Princess Duanyang's uncle.

The ambitious King Ji was dissatisfied with Princess Duanyang's younger brother ascending the throne at a young age, and believed that he was more suitable to be emperor than this little brat.So he found an opportunity to force the palace to seize the throne.

There was chaos at that time. Princess Duanyang tried her best to protect her younger brother and escaped from the palace, but was ruthlessly pushed to block the knife. Fortunately, she reacted in time and pushed the selfish little emperor out of the palace with her backhand.

The little emperor died on the spot, and Princess Duanyang led her soldiers to break out of the siege and fled south. There was no news for a while, and everyone thought she was dead.

But in fact, Princess Duanyang has changed her name and lurked in the mixed land in the south, trying to return to the imperial city and cut off King Ji's head to take revenge.

Later, Princess Duanyang met the Prince of Xi State, who was several years younger than her when she went out incognito to observe the people's sentiments. He fell in love with her at first sight, fell in love with her again, and fell in love with her at the third sight.

After some entanglement, the two got in touch with each other and finally achieved consummation.

The prince married Princess Duanyang as his princess in a grand wedding, and no matter it was the prince's period or the emperor's period, she was the only one from beginning to end, affectionate and dedicated.

With such deep love, the only thing Princess Duanyang can repay is to be single-minded and never betray her.

After the death of the little emperor and the escape of Princess Duanyang, King Ji failed to seize the throne and was beheaded by King Meng (Lu Yingyang's father) who came back from the border to King Qin.

After the chaos was brought to order, King Meng ascended the throne and became emperor. He originally wanted to bring Princess Duanyang back, but she was already related to the prince of Xi State and was tired of the power entanglement in Ju State, so he cut off contact. (End of chapter)
