Before Jiang Feng left, he asked Lu Bingfeng to take Sima Yi to Peicheng, hold him hostage for a period of time, and teach him how to negotiate with Xia Yashuang.
After everything was arranged, Jiang Feng and Song Yuan flew to the imperial capital by helicopter.
On the far other side, the Continent of Beauty, the capital of the Menes Empire, New York City. It is broad daylight here now, and the time difference is completely opposite to that of Asia.
Wei Chi has been here for several days, but she has never been able to see the purple-haired lolita, Yi Meilian. Not even Lao Pokong was seen. During this period, only the prime minister of the empire entertained Wei Chi.
The Imperial Prime Minister is the administrative head of the empire, and can also be understood as the chief prime minister. He is in charge of all affairs of the empire and holds a high position of power. But the prime minister does not have any military power, and all military power in the empire is mainly in the hands of Lao Pokong.
The Prime Minister told Wei Chi that Lao Po Kong was in Europe and didn't know when he would come back. As for Yi Meilian's whereabouts, even the Prime Minister doesn't know.
From the beginning of the empire to the present, Yi Meilian has not held any official position. Like Universe One, she is still engaged in scientific research. Most of the country's cutting-edge technologies come from Yi Meilian.
In order to avoid the leakage of cutting-edge technology, the scientific research base that Yi Meilian is responsible for is located in a very secret place. In order to protect Yi Meilian's safety, most people don't know where Yi Meilian is.
The only person who knows is Lao Po Kong.
Wei Chi really didn't want to go to waste, so he kept waiting. After waiting for several days, he still didn't see Lao Po Kong.
Looking back on those days, Yi Meilian helped Wei Chi increase his combat power, and then gave Wei Chi the military strategy of fighting Jiang Feng in the east and rejecting Ao Lie in the west.
All along, as long as the Menis Empire's attitude towards Jiang Zhi's forces did not change, then Wei Chi's attitude would not change either. But now, 100,000 US troops are maliciously stationed in the third area of Wangcheng, and the relationship with Jiang Zhi's forces is very sensitive. This is very easy to imagine that the Menes Empire's attitude towards Jiang Zhi's forces has changed.
For this reason, Wei Chi really hopes to see Yi Meilian again, otherwise he really doesn't know what to do next.
Wei Chi's follower Hua Hu said: "Lord, we have been here for several days, should we continue to wait?"
"I don't know. I don't know if they didn't want to see me on purpose, or if they just happened to be out."
"I think we should go back. We can make our own decisions in the future. There is no need to listen to that Yi Meilian."
"If it weren't for Yi Meilian's help back then, I wouldn't have become the Lord of the Southern Barbarians."
"But Yi Meilian hasn't contacted you for a long time, so why should you keep thinking about it. I think it's better to go back first. If Yi Meilian still cares about Nanman's future, he will definitely come to you again."
"Oh, you're right, let's go back first." Wei Chi said disappointedly.
Coincidentally, just when Wei Chi decided to leave, a phone rang in the room.
Wei Chi picked up the phone and ended the call a few seconds later.
"What's wrong?" Hua Hu asked.
"Lao Po Kong is back. He's at the Empire State Building. The Prime Minister asked us to meet him."
"We're finally back, let's leave quickly."
An hour later, Wei Chi and Hua Hu arrived at the Empire State Building and headed to the designated conference hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Lao Pokong smiled and said, "What a pity that I have kept you waiting for so many days. Please sit down quickly."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a few days."
After everyone was seated, a secretary poured tea for Wei Chi and Hua Hu, then respectfully closed the door and left.
"What's the matter with coming here this time?" Lao Pokong asked.
"I won't say any more polite words. Where is Yi Meilian?"
"She is busy with scientific research and has no time." Lao Pokong lit a cigarette.
"Then what is the empire's current attitude towards Jiang's forces? Why are 100,000 US troops stationed in Wangcheng?"
"What attitude do you want us to have?" Lao Pokong asked.
"I don't know. I can only say that our attitude basically follows that of the empire."
"Is that true?"
"Well, it should be said that Yi Meilian's attitude is my attitude."
"It's understandable, so let me tell you Yi Meilian's attitude now. One hundred thousand American troops will not conflict with Jiang Zhi's forces. If the situation really gets serious, Mikasa will definitely intervene."
"I heard that you are in Europe these days. Are you going to see Mikasa?"
"Exactly, Mikasa's attitude is very clear. She will not allow any future people's forces to disrupt Yanhuang. If the US military goes to war with Jiangzhi's forces, Mikasa will consider sending troops to assist Jiangzhi's forces."
"Mikasa really said that? Isn't she Jiang Feng's mortal enemy?"
"As long as you understand the motivation, it is not difficult to understand her behavior. The purpose of Mikasa coming to this universe is to compete with Jiang Feng. But the development of this universe is indeed unexpected. Jiang Feng has been unable to unify Yanhuang. This Mikasa was very anxious. This time, Jiang Feng defeated the Gray Tribe, repelled Ao Lie, and occupied Beiming. It should be said that he was one step closer to unification. Therefore, Mikasa would never allow the empire to disrupt the situation, otherwise Jiang Feng would not We know when we can unify Yan and Huang."
"I see, then since the US military has no intention of targeting Jiang's forces, why hasn't it withdrawn its troops?"
"Because we have someone to fight for."
"who?"
"We have been looking for a person since we came to this universe. His name is Yi Tianpeng. Although we have long suspected that Yi Tianpeng is in Jiang Feng's hands, we don't have any evidence, and Jiang Feng will not tell us the truth. In the past two years, we We have been looking for Yi Tianpeng and fortune tellers. After continuous efforts, we gathered several more capable fortune tellers, but they were unable to predict Yi Tianpeng. A more likely situation is that Yi Tianpeng has a fortune-teller. But a few days ago, we divined the location of Yi Tianpeng, and he was indeed in Wangcheng. But not long after, we were unable to divine again. Maybe Yi Tianpeng got another divination-avoiding bead."
"I see, that's why the US military has been fighting for Yi Tianpeng in the past few days."
"Yes, it's just that things haven't gone well so far. Su Kouye still denies that Yi Tianpeng is in Wangcheng."
"It's hard to estimate. Yi Tianpeng is a scientific and technological talent, and Jiang Zhi's forces will not give up."
"That's true, so we are currently negotiating." Lao Po Kong took a puff of cigarette and said helplessly.
"By the way, can I see Yi Meilian?"
"She won't want to see you."
"Why?" Wei Chi said excitedly.
"Old Wei Chi and Yi Meilian were having some trouble, so Yi Meilian doesn't want to see you."
"Old Wei Chi's trouble with her has nothing to do with me."
"After all, you have the same face as Old Wei Chi. It's just that he has a few extra beards." Old Pokong smiled.
"Can I ask out of curiosity? What happened to them?"
"Old Wei Chi has been pursuing Yi Meilian for a long time. He almost obeys Yi Meilian's words. However, due to strategic deployment issues, the two have been separated for a long time and it is difficult to see each other. As time goes by, conflicts arise. Alas, you'd better leave this matter alone. Anyway, they will be able to reconcile after some time."
