While Gu Chad and Fang Nan Gefei were busy "forming cliques" everywhere, others were not idle either. In the small place of Penglai Oasis in Gudu County, the most unprecedented drama in the world of elixirs was staged.

The most frequent and intensive diplomatic activities. Everyone seems to have forgotten that they are here for "archaeology".

The busiest among them is probably Yan Nanting, the crown prince of the Yin Kingdom. He came to Guidu County this time with three major tasks assigned by the Emperor Yan Dan of the Yin Kingdom.

The first task is to gain enough international living space for the Yin Kingdom. Various signs during the civil war indicate that the Yin Kingdom has a tendency to be isolated and suppressed by countries around the world. If this problem cannot be solved, the court will never be able to turn around.

day.

The second task is to find ways to get the maximum benefit from this feast of carving up the underground treasures of Guidu County, because the current court is too poor and is in urgent need of financial support.

The last and most important task that Yan Dan assigned to Yan Nanting was that no matter what method he used and no matter how much he paid, he must win the heart of Mi Chong and marry her back to the country of Yin. As long as he can complete this task

, the first two tasks are irrelevant.

From the day the Yin Kingdom came out, Yan Nanting has been worried. The tasks assigned by his father are more difficult than the last. He is not confident of winning any task. But as the crown prince of the Yin Kingdom, he is also worried.

There is no shirking the responsibility, not to mention, it has always been his long-cherished wish to marry Mi Chong.

After arriving in Guidu County, Yan Nanting could be said to have sharpened his head and went to Mi Chong's princess mansion. Sometimes he even made two or three trips a day, just to find some time to be alone with Mi Chong.

But his wish was doomed to come true. That abominable rice insect was either with Empress Chonglou Cong Congnui of the Wei Kingdom, or he was meeting the emperor of this country, the prince of that country, or else he was Yu Jingyuan or Liu Lin Haidai.

Together. Regardless of whether he expresses it or implies it, Mi Chong just doesn't give him a chance to be alone.

Seeing that there was no progress in this most important and arduous task, Yan Nanting could only temporarily slow down his pace and stop looking for Mi Chong frequently. If Mi Chong was resented, things would be even more difficult to handle.

There was no progress in the marriage proposal, so Yan Nanting had to devote most of his energy to diplomacy. However, the diplomatic negotiations did not go smoothly at the beginning. The states of Zi, Wu, Mao, Shen, Hai, and You

Although the emperor and prince of the country received him politely, they refused to discuss any substantive matters with him.

Just when Yan Nanting was about to become disheartened, Chen State and Wei State gave him a surprise. These two countries, together with their vassal states, totaled five countries, and they all agreed to conduct business with the Yin State court.

and military exchanges.

In fact, Ye Chenchen and Chonglou Congcong were actually Tang Tianyao's decisions, not because they didn't know the benefits of the split of the Yin Kingdom to them, but as the saying goes, once the Yin Kingdom court was suppressed too much, Liu Linhai and others would definitely take the initiative.

Attack, overthrow the Yin State court, and create a new dynasty. At that time, the Yin State was still the Yin State, it just had a different ruler. The threat to neighboring countries still existed, and it might be even greater.

Balance is king. Only by doing business with both sides can you control the balance between both sides. Of course, it is still very difficult to control this balance. If you are not careful, you will shoot yourself in the foot. Only Ye Chenchen and

Only a man of Tang Tianyao's caliber dared to play this game of dancing on two eggs.

After reaching an agreement with Wei State and Chen State, Yan Nanting breathed a sigh of relief. The Yin State Court was not completely isolated at last, and the first task assigned by his father was finally completed. Yan Nanting was in a good mood again.

He began to think about marrying Mi Chong. This time he decided to change his mind. Are you Mi Chong the princess of Chen State and Princess Jianwei State? I will take care of Ye Chenchen and Chonglou Congcong first. See you there.

Why are you still avoiding me?

So Yan Nanting asked to see Ye Chenchen again, but this guy was unlucky and happened to encounter Ye Chenchen who was sulking. If Ye Chenchen is angry because of Mao, the reason is very simple. Chonglou Congcong is so hateful.

Overall, he was tired of being with Mi Chong, so much so that he wanted to make out with Mi Chong, almost like a thief. He could only wait until Chonglou Congcong met with leaders from other countries to get the chance.

The person next to him complained: Ye Chenchen, you deserve it. You married Mi Chong upright, how could such bad things happen to you?

Ye Chenchen responded to the narration:

Said: Get out of here, you know nothing. I am trying to protect her. She has no foundation in the world of elixirs. If she follows me openly, her life will be in danger at any time. Besides, my rice insect

He is a freedom-loving insect. If he ties her to his side, she will suffocate to death.

Although Ye Chenchen was not in a very good mood, as a monarch of a country, he could control his emotions very well. After the two parties met and exchanged greetings, Ye Chenchen asked: "Prince Yan, why did you come to see me today?

"

Yan Nanting first bowed deeply to Ye Chenchen, and then said: "Then I will tell you directly. If there is any offense, please forgive me. Your Majesty, the Emperor of Chen State, I would like to represent

My father and I formally propose marriage to you, hoping that you will marry Mi Chong, the princess of Lan County of your country, to me and become my crown princess."

Ye Chenchen was originally in a bad mood. When he heard Yan Nanting's proposal for marriage, he even had the intention to kill people. However, he is a monarch of a big country after all, and he has good self-cultivation. He did not get angry on the spot, but said coldly: "Princess Lan

She is the apple of my eye and the pillar of our Chen Kingdom, why do you think I will marry Princess Lan to you."

Yan Nanting knew that the situation was not good as soon as he heard Ye Chenchen's tone, but there was no turning back. Since he had already said the proposal of marriage, he could only insist on it. He said sincerely: "Dear Emperor Chen Guo

Your Majesty, I rely on my deep love for Princess Lan, and I will definitely make her the happiest woman in the world."

Ye Chenchen cursed in his heart: "Who the hell are you? You're robbing me of a woman. Do you know Mi Chong so much that you dare to brazenly say that you will make her the happiest woman in the world?"

But on the surface, he said calmly: "Everyone knows how good Princess Lan is, so you want me to marry Princess Lan to you because of your deep love. Isn't it too childish?"

Yan Nanting knew that he would not be able to impress the emperor unless he came up with something substantial, so he said: "Your Majesty, I swear by the fate of the country of Yin that Princess Lan will be my only wife in this life after she marries me.

I will get rid of all my concubines before marrying Princess Lan. One day when I ascend the throne as the emperor, Princess Lan will be the queen of our Yin Kingdom. In order to show our sincerity, our Yin Kingdom has already made preparations for the crown prince and concubine.

Seal, as long as His Majesty the Emperor agrees, I will personally deliver the seal to Princess Lan."

"In addition, in order to make up for Chen State's losses, our Yin State is willing to lease Lanya Port and Fuyun Port in Jinzhou, as well as the land within ten kilometers of the port coastline, to Chen State for free for a thousand years. Your Majesty, you also know that this

The two ports are at the horns of each other, and they can control the entire Northeast China Sea. Your Majesty must know better than anyone what it means to control the Northeast China Sea."

Ye Chenchen looked at the young Prince Yin in front of him and thought, did the young man in front of him come up with this idea, or did the old and cunning Yan Dan come up with it? This is too insidious, right?

Not only did the two broken ports want to exchange their own rice worms, but they also dug a big hole for themselves.

Yes, the ancient tombs under the Northeast Sea are indeed a huge treasure that even gods would envy. Its value is far greater than the vast ancient city today, and it is indeed a big enough temptation.

But since it is a temptation, there must be a trap. On the surface, controlling the two ports of Lanya and Fuyun can control the entire Northeast China Sea, but it is precisely because the temptation of the undersea ancient tombs is too great. Who controls the Northeast China Sea?

, who will become the target of public criticism. In the great battle in the East China Sea a few years ago, the Ziguo took the huge risk of annihilation of the East China Sea Fleet and wanted to cripple your Yinguo's navy. This is the reason.

Although my navy of the Chen Kingdom is much more powerful than your previous navy in the Yin Kingdom, there is still a big gap compared with traditional naval powers such as the Zi Kingdom and the Shen Kingdom. If I listen to your deception, I will station the navy.

Once we reach the two ports of Lanya and Fuyun, we will immediately attract a joint attack from the navies of Ziguo, Shenguo and other countries. At that time, your two ports will still be of little use to me.

It was Ye Chenchen's usual style to see through but not tell the truth. He still said unhurriedly: "Boy, are you too naive to exchange two broken ports for my Princess Lan? Besides, Princess Lan

She is a human being, not a commodity. You are insulting her by exchanging two ports. Do you think if I tell Princess Lan what you just said, will she ignore you again?"

Yan

Nan Ting said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please don't change your mind. The one-thousand-year right to use the two ports I just mentioned is a betrothal gift, not an exchange."

Ye Chenchen waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't have to say anything. I won't agree to it. Of course, if you have the ability to pursue Princess Lan and ask her to marry you, I won't.

They will stop it. Let’s stop here today, I have other things to do.”
