Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 3911 37. Morality and Education Make the Country Prosperous (Shangguan Zhuhou made the conditions, Wu Xuanyue was forced to accept them)
"Selling out the country? Your Majesty, you are exaggerating. Yue'er has never thought of doing this..."

Wu Xuanyue seemed to see from the half-smile on Shangguan Zhuhou's face that the other party had seen through her plan calmly and composure, and the more this happened, the more guilty Wu Xuanyue felt.

"Really? If I remember correctly, the town master Cao of the Western Frontier is a guest of honor of your Wu Xuanyue. He always listens to you. At the beginning, your father and General Cao worked together to establish a fast passage for the four martial arts countries. Now I am afraid that it will be blocked at the border of our Di Jiuli, right? If the town master Cao uses the trade between the two countries and the experience of his previous life to quickly establish this martial energy coordinate in our Dongcang, then in the future, won't the second lady know the inner diameter of our Dongcang like the back of her hand?"

When these words were spoken, Wu Xuanyue's eyes were shocked. It turned out that a master is a master. Her little thoughts were just a joke in their eyes.

"Well... establishing trade relations and connecting countries is also for the sake of communication between people from different countries. I don't think this incident is a bad thing."

Wu Xuanyue knew that her explanation was so pale and powerless in the eyes of smart people. If that was the case, she would admit it openly and talk about the benefits of this matter to the other party, hoping that her words could impress the other party.

"Haha~ Really? Who doesn't know that Dongcang is the richest among the four martial arts countries? Isn't this a bit too much, Miss? Does this count as interfering with our territorial integrity and further interfering in our internal affairs?"

At this point, Shangguan Zhuhou no longer cared about his friendship with Wu Xuanyue and simply threw out all the unpleasant words.

"I... hope that information can be transmitted equally between countries, so that no one will engage in unnecessary wars due to the uneven distribution of resources. After all, the people hope that the country will be safe and prosperous. The unification of the four martial arts countries is not a superficial unification. In fact, the four countries are independent and the separatist states will only trigger wars again and again due to the equal flow of resources. Is this the situation you want to see?"

Wu Xuanyue let out a sigh of disappointment, and then revealed all his true thoughts.

"Over the years, it seems that the martial arts have been unified, but the wars of open and covert fighting have never stopped. Your Majesty, let me say something that should not be said. Do you think that your Quan family can control the people of the world for your own regime by collecting the wealth of the world? In fact, it is not entirely true, right? Some people are willing to be dogs, and think that they can settle down and make a living by sharing some food from being oppressed, which is not a bad thing, but... when the four directions were divided, there were many heroes in the troubled times. Their ambitions were the same as yours, and they all wanted to be the masters of this world. Why should the best resources in the world fall into the hands of your Quan family? In order to fight for fame and fortune, power and status, the Quan family has been defenseless over the years, and has suffered scars, right?"

After these words were spoken, Shangguan Zhuhou's eyes darkened, and his momentum weakened a lot.

Seeing this, Wu Xuanyue continued, "Disputes arise only when there is injustice in the world. The crime of possessing a treasure is the origin of disputes. If your naive son takes over the Quan family, how much of the resources of the Quan family do you think the young master of Kunyang can protect with his strategy? If so, it would be better to open it up early and let more people enjoy the resources of the Quan family. Those people will not think of rebelling when they are full, right?"

"You are talking about a very small number of people. There are some people who are still greedy. When they are full, they still want more. Getting something for nothing will only breed their laziness and selfishness. If you keep such people, you will end up raising a tiger to harm you."

"So we need to give him some work, let him do what he can, and let him find a sense of value in his work. With both emotional and material satisfaction, ten people will not want to rebel, right? Also, if His Majesty the Dragon King is really worried about his son's rough fate in the future, then just hand him over to me. If I am the master, I will never let Young Master Kunyang suffer any grievances. At worst, I will let him be a happy monarch who will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life. Isn't that enough?"

"Haha~ Why does it sound like my good-for-nothing son is lucky in luck? Then I should still be grateful to the Second Miss, right?" The reluctance and sarcasm in Shangguan Zhuhou's words were enough to show that he did not agree with Wu Xuanyue's suggestion.

"Second Miss, I'll say the same thing again. You've told me so many unrealistic measures. It would be better if you showed me something tangible. You also know the style of our Quan clan. We will only discuss further cooperation with you if we can see actual benefits. Otherwise, this tactic of getting something for nothing was created by our Quan clan. Isn't it a bit too insincere for you to use this trick to negotiate with me?"

Shangguan Zhuhou is not as easy to deceive as Shangguan Kunyang. After all, he is a man who has experienced many ups and downs. He believes in a practical exchange of interests in everything, otherwise he will not easily reveal his interests to the other party.

At this point, Wu Xuanyue knew that her eloquent tongue was of no use to Shangguan Zhuhou, and it seemed that she had really met her match.

"Sincerity... I do have the sincerity to cooperate with Your Majesty. If it weren't for Yuhua's action back then..."

Wu Xuanyue originally wanted to use old debts to settle new debts, but she never expected that Shangguan Zhuhou suddenly raised his hand and stopped Wu Xuanyue from speaking with a smile.

"Let's put things in perspective. Second Miss, you helped me, but I also returned the favor, didn't I? Isn't my second brother in your hands now? And... I also taught you the art of controlling spirits that you wanted to learn. Does that mean that I and the Quan family will remember this debt and this favor for the rest of our lives? Don't you think this is unfair?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xuanyue's mouth was immediately blocked. Embarrassed, Wu Xuanyue thought for a while and then said -

"Then... what does Your Majesty want me to do? To show my sincerity?"

"It's very simple. I have always believed in a principle that no one is stronger than myself. If you rely on others, the mountain will fall and if you rely on others, you will grow old. Instead of asking the second young lady to help me train Kunyang to be a good man in the future, it is better to train him now and let me see that Kunyang has the wisdom that a national army should have and the ability to defend the city. Then I will dare to hand over the Quan family. If the second young lady doesn't even have this ability and can't do it now, can I still expect her to do it when I am gone? By then, our Kunyang and even the entire Quan family will become the biggest and fattest lambs in the martial arts world, and be slaughtered at will... At that time, what fairness can the second young lady talk to me about? I, Shangguan Zhuhou, will not be able to see it if I close my eyes and kick my legs, right?"

After hearing this, Wu Xuanyue couldn't help but swallow a deep breath. Although she knew that this matter was quite difficult, in order to advance the entire plan, she still gritted her teeth and agreed to it...

"Okay... I promise His Majesty the Dragon King..."

"That's great! From now on, Kunyang will be handed over to Tianmen Zhenshi..."
