"Let's talk about it. The other party wants us to become a vassal state. What do you think?"

In the conference room, all the Kyoto senior officials sat at the conference table with solemn expressions. The old man in the lead spoke to break the silence.

"Of course I don't agree. How can we, a great country like China, be dependent on other countries?"

One of the old men with a square face was the first to stand up and said in a firm tone.

An old man next to him immediately interrupted and said, "You don't even need to say if you disagree. The chief is asking you how you should respond."

"That's right. The question is how to deal with it. If we refuse directly, I'm afraid the Qianlong royal family will attack us immediately. Other countries have clearly confirmed this to us."

A slightly plump man also expressed his opinion at this time.

In fact, other countries on Blue Planet are also facing this problem.

When they discovered that there was a new country in the territory of the Eight Wildernesses, the local strong men would naturally not sit idly by and sent envoys to the country to issue orders of surrender.

The United States also faced the threat from the Western Continent. The other side demanded surrender, but the United States, which had always been accustomed to being the boss, of course refused.

This immediately aroused the other party's dissatisfaction, and the two started fighting.

Not only the United States, but many developed countries have not been immune.

China now has to face this problem. It seems that if it does not agree, this war will have to be fought.

The Foreign Minister frowned and asked, "I want to ask, if a fight really breaks out, what are our chances of winning against the Qianlong Royal Family?"

An old general said categorically: "With the strength of our Chinese cultivators, it is not a problem to resist the offensive of Qianlong. But if they gather all their strength and attack in an all-out manner, many of our border cities may not be able to resist."

"It's best not to fight. Fighting will only increase casualties. Our areas are already in turmoil, with many casualties. If we fight Qianlong again, even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses."

"That sounds nice. You said you won't fight them, so we won't fight them? Now they want us to surrender unless we agree to their demands."

"Let's talk first. If we can't reach an agreement, we can talk later."

“Who will talk, how will we talk, and where will we talk?”

"I said, can you please stop arguing all the time? Is that interesting?"

"I'm arguing? Then why don't you come up with a solution?"

"you..."

Just as everyone was about to get into an endless quarrel.

The old man sitting in the center position did not respond in a hurry, but whispered a few words to the secretary beside him. The secretary left immediately after hearing what he said, as if to do something.

Then he cleared his throat and everyone immediately quieted down.

"How about this, invite that Qianlong guest over here, and we'll have a good chat with her. War is the worst-case scenario."

Seeing that the old man had spoken, everyone agreed, and soon Ji Linglong was invited over again.

Ji Linglong thought that the other party had agreed, and said to the old man in an approving tone: "The old man is still very sensible. Don't worry, submitting to our Qianlong royal family will only benefit you and will not cause any harm. In the future, our Qianlong royal family will protect you, but you must obey the emperor's orders in the future. That's it, you will set off immediately and go to the imperial city with me to submit your loyalty to my sister."

However, the old man just smiled and said, "We have no intention of submitting to your Qianlong royal family. Our great Chinese people have gone through thousands of years of hardships and have never surrendered to other countries. This was the case in the past, is the case now, and will be the case in the future."

Ji Linglong frowned and said indignantly, "All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. How can you, a mortal city, not submit to the imperial court? How come you can't understand this, old man? I'm doing this for your own good, and you really don't agree?"

"We are willing to form an alliance with your dynasty and advance and retreat together, but if your dynasty wants to annex us, we will never agree." The old man's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable firmness.

Ji Linglong was immediately a little angry. She pouted her lips, put her hands on her hips, and said unhappily, "It seems that you are not willing to accept my toast. I have said all the nice things, but you are stubborn. Okay, I will go back and tell my sister to deal with you. But if she sends soldiers to fight you, don't blame me for not reminding you. By then, I am afraid you... Ouch~"

Before Ji Linglong could finish her words, she was interrupted and someone hit her on the head from behind.

The guard beside him immediately shouted, "Stop! How dare you hurt Her Royal Highness the Princess! You are courting death!"

The most angry person was Ji Linglong. She covered her head, turned around and gritted her teeth.

"Damn it! How dare anyone hurt this princess! You poor and unruly people are so despicable. I will tell my sister right now and let her..."

However, he got stuck halfway through his words. At this moment, Ji Linglong stood there blankly. He turned around and looked at the "sneak attacker" who appeared in front of him. His mind went blank for a moment.

"you you you..."

Ji Linglong opened her mouth slightly and stammered, as if she couldn't believe it at all.

The man in front of her was both angry and amused, and raised his hand to tap her forehead again.

"You little girl, I haven't seen you for such a long time, but you are becoming more and more domineering. You come here to act wildly. Believe it or not, I will tell your sister to put you in solitary confinement."

Ji Linglong came back to her senses from her shock when she heard the familiar voice from the other party.

She was not angry. On the contrary, the foreign princess was full of surprise. In front of so many elderly people, she ignored her girlish modesty and threw herself into the other man's arms.

"Brother Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Jichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he hugged the soft and boneless body of the girl, and said helplessly: "This is my hometown, why can't I be here?"

"You haven't been to Fengqu City for a long time, Brother Lin, have you forgotten me and my sister?"

Ji Linglong pouted and said aggrievedly.

"My hometown suffered a disaster, so naturally I had to come back to help. I didn't have the time to look for you." Lin Ji Chen explained.

"So this is your hometown." Ji Linglong suddenly realized, and then her expression became very embarrassed.

"Brother Lin, I didn't know this was your hometown. I thought it was an ordinary city. Hehe, you won't blame me, right?"

Lin Jichen said with a smile: "Then you won't set your sights on my hometown again, right?"

"Of course not. Why would I want to go to Brother Lin's hometown? Even if I tell my sister, she will definitely not agree."

As she spoke, Ji Linglong's attitude immediately became obedient. She turned to the old man and said, "I'm so sorry that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. If you had told me earlier that Brother Lin was from your place, I would definitely not have said those things. You are really an old man, for not telling me earlier."

Then he pointed at the others present and said, "You too, you know the truth but don't report it. Let me, Big Brother Lin, spank you!"

Hearing that the other party was the "bad guy" who complained first, everyone was speechless...
