The Principality of Norton, Little Deer City, King's Square.

The July sun was bright and scorching, making people's scalp numb. The whole square was ablaze with incandescence, which was extremely dazzling.

However, under the scorching sun, the square was filled with people, both men and women, all tall and strong, wearing thick body armor, like a steel Great Wall.

The shiny metal armor reflects the sun, making it dazzling and making you feel dizzy after looking at it for a long time.

"Kids, burn your fat, get strength from protein, and use your muscles to defeat your enemies!"

A sturdy old man with a square face and a crew cut stood on the high platform. He was shirtless, and his dark muscles were piled up in blocks, shiny and as strong as steel. The old man had gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face.

But he doesn't look old, he looks like a young man in his forties.

He raised both hands, revealing extremely developed muscles, as bulging as bunches of grapes, full of explosive power.

He pointed his two index fingers to the sky and let out a huge roar, which made the whole square boil.

"Crush them with your muscles!" "Crush those little bastards!"

Men's roars and women's screams filled the huge square.

The sturdy old man picked up a large photo at his feet and held it high in his hand.

"Look, this man, this bean sprout with thin arms and legs, actually wants to challenge the muscle power of our Norton Legion!"

The person in the photo is none other than Chen Xing, the Prime Minister of Ice Blue City.

"It's time to show your true power!"

"Use our strong muscles to crush the bean sprouts into pieces!"

"Whoa!"

The strong old man roared wildly, raised the muscles of his arms, crushed the photos bit by bit, and squeezed them into a ball.

"The power of muscles!" "Conquer everything!" "We are the strongest!" "Steal all their protein/powder!"

People in the square reveled like boiling water. They took off their upper body armor and threw it into the air, and then performed various bodybuilding postures to show off their toned muscles.

The TV station of the Principality of Norton broadcast the scene live and posted it to the official account of Qunxiang.com.

Thousands of kilometers away, Chen Xing in the Ice Blue City office happened to click on the video and saw this bizarre scene.

"Is the leader of Norton a fool?" Chen Xing couldn't help complaining as he looked at this group of fitness fanatics.

"When Prince Norton was young, he traveled to the Western Continent to study and worked part-time as a fitness instructor for several years." The Finance Minister said, "After he succeeded to the throne, Marquis Norton promoted fitness throughout the country. Regardless of men, women, old or young, as long as their muscles are developed enough, they can gain status."

Having said this, the Finance Minister turned his head slightly and glanced at the young man beside him.

This young man is about in his early twenties, handsome, well-dressed, with a noble air between his brows, and a light bookish air on his fair skin. He can be said to be a rich, handsome academic man.

Seeing the Minister of Finance's signal, the young man immediately took over the topic and continued, "The Norton Corps only recruits combat soldiers. Although it looks a bit silly, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. It is known as the 'battlefield bulldozer' and its impact on the battlefield

Very powerful."

The young man's voice is calm and gentle, which makes it easy for people to like him.

Chen Xing raised his eyelids, glanced at the other person, faced the Minister of Finance, and asked lazily, "Who is he?"

The Minister of Finance quickly introduced, "He is the eldest son of the Yin family in Ice Blue City, Yin Ziping. He just graduated from the Noble Academy of Ice Blue City this year. He has excellent grades in all subjects and is particularly outstanding in the clerical field..."

He always praised him and said that this young man was as good as heaven and earth.

"What are your plans?" Chen Xing looked at the noble prince.

The latter hurriedly stepped forward, bowed ninety degrees and said, "The student is not talented and dares to ask the Prime Minister for a certain errand."

Seeing the other party's respectful look, Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh. A few years ago, the other party might not even bother to look at him, let alone show such respect.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, this is the situation.

Chen Xing turned to look at the Minister of Finance, who immediately said, "As long as I can stay with the Prime Minister and be an intern."

"I already have Assistant Yang, so I don't need an intern."

Chen Xing simply refused. As his status rises, more and more people cling to the powerful, and there are not just any cats or dogs that he can be around.

"As long as I can stay in the palace." The finance minister settled for the next best thing.

"Then stay."

Chen Xing opened the mouth of Chrysostom, and the Minister of Finance immediately asked the noble prince to thank him profusely and promised him to work conscientiously and do a good job in the future.

"You have to bother the Prime Minister with even such a trivial matter. You are just an intern. Why don't you make arrangements to go to the Ministry of Finance yourself!" The Foreign Minister, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't help it anymore and started to accuse the Minister of Finance.

It wasted the Prime Minister's precious time.

The Minister of Finance successfully completed the task, did not argue with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and left happily with the young man.

"What's the matter with you?" Chen Xing asked the Foreign Minister.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, because of the last conscription, ten city-states have jointly submitted a letter, saying that the loss of young labor has led to stagnant business, and they require compensation." said the Foreign Minister.

"We are not the only ones recruiting troops. Let them ask the fifth princess and the fourth prince for them." Chen Xing said.

"Would this reply be too strong?" the Foreign Minister asked with some worry. The ten city-states have always been neutral, and he was worried that too strong an attitude would cause the other party to turn to the other side.

"This group of wallflowers will follow whoever they want. Allies who work hard but don't contribute much will just get free food no matter how many they come." Chen Xing said disdainfully.

In the history of the Red Kingdom, the ten city-states were typical wallflowers, swinging back and forth, taking advantage of both sides. When the Red Kingdom was strong, they acted as their subordinates honestly, and when the Red Kingdom was in chaos, they cheated money from both sides.

Chen Xing has already understood that no matter which side the ten city-states fall to, they will only express their support verbally but not work hard.

After sending the foreign minister away, another envoy came outside who claimed to be the Chu Empire of the Eastern Continent.

The guard scanned his identity with a black watch and found that he was indeed an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chu Empire in the Eastern Continent. No matter what the other party's purpose was, he was still a visitor, so Chen Xing invited him into the Prime Minister's office.

"On behalf of the Great Chu Empire, I would like to express my deepest respect to the Prime Minister."

The envoy bowed ninety degrees and presented gifts. There were various kinds of ginseng, matsutake, bear paws, antlers from the Kunlun Mountains of the Eastern Continent, as well as various specialties from the Dachu Empire, including Dachu tea, and Tianshan spring water brewing.

Plum wine, sandalwood folding fans made by famous craftsmen, but the most precious among them is a batch of porcelain.

Among the porcelains, the most precious ones are two tea bowls, which are slightly larger than ordinary tea cups and smaller than eating bowls.

"I heard that adults like to drink tea. Use this blue and white porcelain hand cup to drink tea. It will not burn your hands and can also keep the tea warm."

Chen Xing picked it up and played with it. It was thicker than ordinary tea bowls and felt like it pressed against the hand. The blue and white flowers on it were finely crafted and had complicated patterns, but they were very comfortable to look at and did not look like they were messy to the eyes.

All the patterns are like a whole, and everything is unified. Although Chen Xing is not an expert in appreciating art, he can still tell that it is designed by top craftsmen.

Otherwise, there would be no such "comfortable" feeling.

"The Emperor of Chu is so generous with his gifts, I'm actually a little embarrassed," Chen Xing said.

"It's a small thought, but it's not respectful." The envoy said with his hands in hand.

"Xiao Yang..." Chen Xing turned to look at Xiao Yang, "Go and prepare some gifts. You can't let people go back empty-handed."

As the saying goes, being courteous for nothing is either a traitor or a thief. The Emperor of Chu must have some agenda when he sent so many gifts.

"No, no need!" The envoy quickly grabbed Xiao Yang, "It's just a small gift, no need to worry about it, Prime Minister."

"Reciprocity should be reciprocated, and I cannot lose the etiquette." Chen Xing insisted, and the envoy had to give in.

However, Chen Xing didn't have much personal property, so he asked Xiao Yang to pick out some of the trophies from the Tianqin Principality and send them back.

"I wonder if my friend is here today. Is there anything I need help with?" Chen Xing asked.

"No, it's just that the emperor knew about your deeds, admired you in his heart, and wanted to make friends with you," the envoy said.

"Making friends? Okay, what I like most is making friends." Chen Xing said with a smile, "When you get back, tell me that I welcome Da Chu to visit you at any time."

"Our emperor Chu Hanyu has been admiring you for a long time. However, the etiquette of Dachu is strict and the emperor is not allowed to leave the palace before getting married. Therefore, the emperor wants to invite the prime minister to the Chu Kingdom for a small gathering to relieve the sorrow of lovesickness."

The envoy bowed and said.

Di Ji is the name given to the princess in the Eastern Continent. Compared with the word "princess", the distinction between the royal family and the royal family is more obvious.

Those from the royal family are called Di Ji, and those from the royal family are called Wang Ji. Unlike the Red Earth Continent and the Eastern Continent, both royal and royal families are collectively called princesses.

The envoy's implication was obvious: Chu Hanyu, the emperor of Chu, had a crush on him and invited him to have a tryst with Chu.

Chen Xing knows about Chu Hanyu, because she is very famous in the Eastern Continent and on the Internet. She is known as the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Continent and is a representative of oriental aesthetics. Even Dongfang Xuanran's clothes are based on her.

Chen Xing lived a hard life since childhood and never believed that meat buns would fall from the sky. If so, it must be a trap.

"Look at me, I've been busy with state affairs recently, and I really can't get away from it..." Chen Xing declined, "Let's talk about it after a while, when we are free."

The most beautiful woman in the Eastern Continent, this title is worth risking, but the person beside him is the most beautiful woman in the world, so it is more important to save his life.

He can't take Cuillis out to have a tryst with other girls, right?

"Understood, I will report this to Di Ji and ask her to wait."

After leaving the prime minister's office, the envoy walked to a remote place, opened his black watch, and sent a brief message.
