Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Chapter 259 State Affairs and Family Affairs

Walking through the wooden door, there is a huge training ground, which is big enough for one or two hundred people to train. There are some simple houses around it, and stone tools used for training are randomly discarded around the training ground.

At this moment, in the four corners of the martial arts arena, four huge tigers were lazily lying on the ground taking a nap, with one end of the chain tied to a wooden stake more than one meter thick.

Hearing someone coming in, the two tigers quickly turned over and looked at Yao Jun vigilantly. After seeing who was coming, they became docile again.

Yao Jun took half a sheep from a simple house, and after coming out, he said to the soldiers in full armor in the yard: "Let Ah San go."

As the order was given, a soldier in the left corner walked up to the tiger, untied the chain around its neck, and then stepped aside.

After being liberated, Asan stretched his body like a cat, and then began to frolic in the yard. He even ran to show off in front of the other three tigers, making them so angry that they roared frequently.

Tigers are just like people, each one has a different personality. Asan just loves to play, is the most mischievous, and has been tamed. He will not attack the soldiers who have been with him all year round.

Precisely because it loves to play, Asan is also the most dangerous. Except for Yao Jun, other soldiers must be extremely careful. After all, it is too big and its playfulness can easily kill people!

When he was still more than ten meters away from Yao Jun, Asan slowed down and made frequent puffing sounds as a greeting, and he also made a cow-like sound to show his friendliness.

Yao Jun walked forward and rubbed the tiger's head. Ah San also rubbed himself in his arms, and the tiger's eyes narrowed happily, which was very human.

He fed half of the sheep in his hand to Ah San, played with it for a while, then took it back, put a chain on it, and let it stay in the corner.

Then Yao Jun took out half a sheep and asked people to release Ada, and then Aer and Laosi.

After playing with all four tigers and feeding half a sheep, Yao Jun took a walk around their territory, leaving his scent behind before leaving.

Sitting back in the wheelchair, Yao Jun yawned tiredly and said, "Go back and rest."

The attendants and guards protected Yao Jun as he walked towards the main house.

In the royal palace, in the courtyard where the Yao Kingdom's envoys rested, Yao Muchao stood in front of the window on the second floor, staring at the sparkling lake in the distance in a daze.

At this time, an envoy hurried up the stairs, walked up to him and said, "Master Mu Zhao, Princess Yan Xi sent someone to deliver an invitation, and there is also a letter from the eldest prince."

Yao Muchao turned around, took the invitation and letter, walked to the table and sat down. He first glanced at the invitation, frowned and asked, "A banquet for watching the moon and stars?"

Envoy: "It was hosted by Queen Meng. The news came from the matchmaking party at noon."

Putting down the invitation, Yao Muchao picked up the letter sent by his father and opened it to take a look.

The envoy whispered, "It's probably related to this cooperation. I just received news that the eldest prince said in front of Queen Meng and all the noble ladies at the blind date that he would give 10% of the profit to Chen Country."

The letter also talked about this matter, but there was no cause and effect. It just asked him to make concessions. This was because Yao Jun believed that his adopted son would investigate it himself, so he could write fewer words.

After folding the letter and placing it together with the invitation, Yao Muchao thought for a while and said to the envoy, "We have to give Queen Meng face. Let someone tell Princess Yanxi that I will definitely be there."

"It's no problem to give Chen Country 10% of the profit. We are not doing this for the immediate benefits, but for the vast tracts of land in the southern region!"

"After reaching a cooperation agreement with Chen State and Yujing, the next step is to negotiate with Mi State. Let's settle one first."

The envoy said respectfully: "This is the hundred-year plan set by the eldest prince. I know what to do."

Yao Muchao nodded. The internal situation of Yao country was united and it was also the time when the national strength was the strongest. There was no need to doubt the loyalty of the ministers.

Yao Muchao asked in a relaxed tone, seemingly casually: "Although my father is generous, he would not offer to give up 10% of the profit on the first day of the negotiation. Did something happen at the blind date?"

The envoy hesitated for a while before telling the truth: "I heard that it was because of Miss Xi that the ladies used words to force the eldest prince to express his attitude, and the profit was not just 10%."

Yao Muchao's face turned cold: "What else?"

"At that time, the eldest prince also said that if he wanted to marry Miss Xi in the future, he would give seven cities as a betrothal gift to the State of Chen!" After saying this, the envoy looked at Yao Muchao's gloomy face and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Although Yao Muzhao was angry, he couldn't lose his temper now. After all, he was his father who treated him like his own son. He said in a deep voice, "Go down and have a rest. We will start discussing again soon. Stay alert."

"Yes, please have a good rest, Master Mu Zhao." The envoy bowed and went downstairs to rest.

After looking at the invitation and letter on the table for a while, Yao Muchao stood up and walked to the window again, looking out at the lake. He did not turn around and go downstairs until the eunuch of the palace came to inform him to continue the meeting. He continued to argue with the officials of Chen State and Yujing.

As the sun set, the first day of negotiations ended without any substantive discussion, and Chen Muzhe, as expected, once again hosted a banquet for the envoys from Yujing and Yaoguo.

Yao Muzhao did not participate in this night banquet. After the discussion, he said goodbye to Chen Muzhe: "I will go back and report the content of today's discussion to my father. I am very sorry. I hope Lord Chen can understand."

Yao Jun's 10% profit concession made Chen Muzhe happy for the whole afternoon. Even though Yao Muchao was in a bad mood, he did not blame him. After all, it was a 10% profit. It was impossible for him to be in a good mood.

"Since you are going back to report to your brother, I will not keep you here. I will order people to entertain the other envoys from Yao Country. You can rest assured."

"Thank you, Lord Chen. Mu Zhao will take his leave first."

After saying this, Yao Muchao left with a few guards, leaving the envoys from Yao Kingdom to attend the evening banquet.

Chen Muzhe was not angry and still had a smile on his face. After all, who would have thought that he could get such a big advantage in just a blind date.

"It seems that the women in these branches are still useful. We need to improve their treatment in the future, especially for families with daughters."

Prince Meng came to his side, and with a majestic look in his eyes, he glanced at the whole audience, and said softly, "We can try to make this blind date a routine, and also attract talented people from other vassal states."

Chen Muzhe nodded, turned his head to look at his wife, and smiled: "The queen is virtuous."

Queen Meng puffed out her chest somewhat complacently, smiled and said, "The king is wise."

Chen Shu suddenly jumped out, holding a wine jar, looked at them with a puzzled look and asked, "Father, Mother, why are you so happy?"

Seeing his third son who had no tact at all, Chen Muzhe's face suddenly darkened and he was about to scold him away.

Queen Meng grabbed her son and said with concern: "Drink less. You haven't been home for such a long time. Stay at home and spend more time with your wife and children."

Seeing his father's bad face, Chen Shu hid beside his mother and said quickly: "I was just about to go find my eldest brother, and I'll go back after I finish speaking."

Chen Muzhe said in a deep voice: "Why don't you go quickly?"

"Let's go now!"

Chen Shu said goodbye to Queen Meng and fled quickly, fearing that he would be punished by his father if he was a step slower.

Looking at Chen Shu's departing back, Chen Muzhe frowned and whispered, "The third brother has contact with Jun Ye in Yujing."

Queen Meng sighed, "I know, and the eldest brother knows it too. I hope he won't do anything wrong."

"That's the temper of the third brother. At most he can help Jun Ye to find out some information. Besides, the brothers have grown up by your side since they were young and have a deep relationship with you. You don't have to worry too much." Chen Muzhe comforted.

"On the contrary, it's the second brother. He and Jun Ye have some unclear relationship, and I don't know the truth either."

Queen Meng cast a cold gaze at Chen Huan who was talking to his brothers, then looked away and said with a smile, "Someone is watching him, the second brother can't make any waves."

Chen Muzhe hummed and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"What can I do? Who asked me to marry you?" Queen Meng said with a smile.
