In the next few days, the two sides ceased fighting and there was no further conflict. As if there was a tacit understanding, after experiencing a series of huge losses, both sides chose a truce.
Chen Xing returned to Ice Blue City from the Principality of Nice. The tall city walls and sufficient guards gave him a sufficient sense of security.
"We must negotiate with Qingguo as soon as possible, otherwise once a war breaks out with Saudi Arabia, we will be attacked from both sides, which will be very uncomfortable."
“Whatever conditions they put forward, we try to meet them.”
In the lounge, Chen Xingzheng was discussing the next arrangements with several of his women.
"Before discussing this issue, I suggest that the matter of the Mink Prince be dealt with first," Lacey said.
"Crown Prince Water Weasel?" Chen Xing looked confused, "What's going on?"
"The Crown Prince applied to take his father's body back to the Minerka Principality for burial." Lacey replied.
"This is what should be done. Does a son need to ask for additional instructions when burying his father?" Chen Xing was a little confused.
"The Marquis's head is still stuck in front of the Sha Kingdom's position." Bai Ye Fenghua reminded.
"Oh..." Chen Xing suddenly realized that he couldn't take it back with his body and head separated, and then arranged, "Send an envoy to exchange the head of Marquis Weasel with Ase Doro's head."
After getting Chen Xing's consent, Lacey winked at the female officer behind her, who bowed and walked out quickly.
"Continuing with the question just now." Chen Xing emphasized, "We must negotiate with Qingguo."
"I agree to them no matter what the conditions are. Anyway, we just have to deal with Saudi Arabia and then fight back."
The four women looked at each other in silence for a few times. Ye Yang Bailiu couldn't help but remind him, "Whatever you can think of, others can think of."
"It is impossible for Zhao Yuankai to abandon his allies and negotiate with us alone."
Chen Xing thought about it and realized that what Ye Yang Bailiu said was indeed correct. What he could think of, there was a high probability that others could think of it too. The Sha Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom attacking at the same time must have been discussed in advance. It is impossible for Zhao Yuankai not to understand the principle of lips being cold and teeth dying.
It is impossible to talk about peace with Qingguo without Saudi Arabia.
But the problem is that they cannot fight on two fronts at the same time and must give up one side.
"How about this..." Chen Xing suggested, "Let's concentrate our forces first and kill Asadin IX. After pacifying the east, we can go back to find Zhao Yuankai to settle the score."
Lacey shook her head, "In this case, the Qinghui will take the opportunity to invade eastward, break into Ice Blue City, occupy the palace, and announce to the world that the Ambergris River is destroyed."
"The nobles in the country will probably give up on us out of disappointment and turn their guns to help the Qing Kingdom royal family."
"At that point, we will become a government-in-exile and lose all legal rights."
"This won't work, that won't work either, so what do you think we should do?" Chen Xing said with some frustration.
"I do have an idea, but..."
Lacey seemed a little hesitant, and Chen Xing couldn't wait to ask, "Just what?"
"It's just that this idea is a bit sensitive. I'm afraid that if I say it out, it will offend the Prime Minister." Lacey said cautiously.
Chen Xing suddenly rolled his eyelids, "You can do it!"
He said angrily, "Let's stop being hypocritical, okay? My eldest princess, you are someone who even I dare to kill. Is there anything else that you dare not say or do?"
"Even so, you have to give me a clear attitude." Lacey said coldly, "I don't want to be a villain in vain."
"Okay, okay..." Chen Xing pretended to surrender, "Just tell me, I don't blame you, so that's all."
Lacey did not answer in a hurry. She stood up and walked to Chen Xing's side. Her slender white fingers lightly traced the back of the chair. After a while, she opened her red lips and said slowly, "I heard..."
"Your relationship with the seventh princess of Qing Kingdom is very unusual..."
Chen Xing subconsciously denied it, "Just ordinary friends."
"Ordinary friends?" Lacey said with a look of disdain, "There are rumors that you guys hooked up and betrayed the country's interests."
"Some people also saw you having a tryst in New Edo and playing games together. You were flirting with each other, and you were affectionate. It was really sweet and cheerful."
"Those are all rumors." Chen Xing defended, "Can the rumors be taken seriously?"
"Do you think so?" Chen Xing turned to look at the other three women, Ye Yang Bailiu and the two sisters from Bai Ye's family. Lacey loved to play devil's advocate, but other women didn't.
But his calculation was wrong this time, and all three women cast distrustful glances at him.
"Okay, okay, I admit that our relationship is indeed a little better than ordinary friends." Chen Xing raised his hands in surrender, "But I feel that my friendship with her has not reached a level that can affect the national interests."
"And Zhao Ruoxi is just one of Zhao Yuankai's children. I don't think she can influence Zhao Yuankai's decision-making, especially at the national level."
"As far as I know, Zhao Yuankai loves this little daughter the most," Lacey said.
"It's useless to love her. In the face of national interests, her daughter's coquettishness cannot be effective." Chen Xing said.
"We don't need her to influence Zhao Yuankai..." Lacey said meaningfully.
Chen Xing frowned slightly, and could clearly feel the malice in the other person's tone, and his face turned cold, "What do you mean?"
】
"You can ask her out, privately, alone, and then we take the opportunity to catch her and imprison her." Lacey made a move to capture the pet. He said, "As long as we have the Seventh Princess as our trump card, I believe we will get unexpected surprises at the negotiating table."
"This, this is not good..." Chen Xing stuttered due to excessive shock.
"That's good, or..." Lacey was talking, but suddenly her eyes turned cold, "Are you planning to abandon us female relatives for the sake of an enemy country's Bichi?"
While speaking, Lacey looked at the other three women. Although none of them expressed their stance, their suddenly serious expressions fully demonstrated their stance.
Chen Xing felt a chill running down his spine. He couldn't bear the thought of Lacey's big hat being pulled off.
"Ahem..."
Chen Xing couldn't help coughing twice. What was before him was a double fate proposition, one was a national event, and the other was a harem dispute, a double fate. Once you make the wrong choice, the consequences will be disastrous.
In addition, the four women were looking directly at him, their eyes blazing with murderous intent. Chen Xing felt the pressure doubled, and his scalp began to tingle and numb.
"What are you talking about..."
"Can consider it."
"But..."
"Think long-term and don't be anxious. There is an old saying in our hometown that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
After some persuasion, the four women finally regained their composure, and their eyes were no longer so lethal.
