Star Sea Hunter

Yun Haoyu glanced at the other party indifferently, and said without exception:

"Apologize? It's just nice to say! Dear Elder Ku Mulong, I just want to ask you, can you... represent the Bojiang clan?"

"Of course, Your Majesty!" Kumron said respectfully, "Before the foreign minister set off, she was instructed by Her Majesty Empress Rui Yaqin to come here to discuss with Her Majesty the permanent submission to the human world on behalf of the Pojiang Empire!"

Yun Haoyu leaned lazily on the throne, sizing up the envoy and his entourage below with no expression on his face, without expressing his opinion for a while.

Su Shangqing asked coldly:

"Your Excellency, since you are here this time, let's clarify your intentions together! Pleading guilty? Surrendering? Sorry, we are not interested in these word games. We just want to know how much the Bo Jiang clan can produce. In exchange for the survival chance of the tribe!"

"Don't forget your identity, and don't try to test our bottom line!" Tian Xuanhao added, "Before you open your mouth, please bear in mind the fact that the Xinghui Empire's army can kill you in half a month at most. Kill all the remaining clansmen, and we have the ability and determination to put them into action at any time!"

Kumron's face was pale. Before he set off, he thought he had enough mental preparations for the troubles he might encounter during this trip, but now he discovered that the top management of the Starlight Empire is more difficult than he imagined. To deal with it, I didn't intend to follow the established negotiation procedures in the past at all, but went straight to the point from the beginning!

Of course, he didn't dare to say anything at this time, let alone show the slightest dissatisfaction.In other words, if the positions of the two parties are reversed, their attitudes will only become more overbearing!

Taking a deep breath, he said in a more humble tone: "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers came here this time for no other reason than to win a negligible living space for the clansmen! If the Imperial Legion If you are willing to let the Bo Jiang family go, then we are willing to pay the following price!"

"First, the elders of the Imperial Council announced the abolition of Empress Qi and handed her over to His Majesty, as well as all the main combat factions; second, the Bojiang clan unconditionally surrendered to the human world, and will never betray from generation to generation; Thirdly, all the wealth in the treasury of the Bojiang Empire will be handed over to the Xinghui Empire unconditionally; fourthly, two-thirds of the former territory of the Bojiang Empire will be ceded to the Xinghui Empire unconditionally..."

There are more than 30 various clauses in total. From the literal point of view, the Bo Jiang clan did have some sincerity this time, but in the eyes of Yun Haoyu and his ministers, these things are obviously far from enough!

Zhong Yanying asked slowly: "His Excellency, Elder Ku Mulong, how should you explain the word 'surrender' you mentioned? Do you think that just a humble word and a nice name can fool you?" past us?"

"Of course not, Your Royal Highness!" Ku Mulong quickly explained, "As long as the empire can accept our clan's submission, then from now on, [-]% of the annual financial income of the Bojiang clan will be handed over to the imperial government without compensation; All kinds of rare resources will also be given priority to supply the empire's needs at cost prices; only symbolic tariffs will be levied on all commodities imported by the Xinghui Empire; in foreign exchanges, the Bojiang family will also give priority to the interests of the empire...Details The foreign ministers have already drawn up the terms and conditions, please read them over, Your Majesty!"

As he spoke, he took out a beautiful paper contract text and presented it to the female officer next to him with both hands.After strict inspection by the palace guards, it was put before His Majesty the Emperor.

Yun Haoyu glanced at it disapprovingly, and did not intend to open it at all, but said directly: "Elder Ku Mulong, since you are here this time, if you go back empty-handed, would you like to come to your place?" Surely the empress wouldn't mind having your head moved?"

"Since you still hope to reach some agreement, then I will ask you a few questions now, and I hope you can answer them truthfully!"

Ku Mulong said: "Whatever your Majesty wants to ask, just ask! The ministers must know everything and say everything!"

"Okay then," Yun Haoyu leaned forward slightly, staring at the other party with cold eyes, and asked word by word:

"My queen was once captured by you, where is she now?"

"This..." The elder's face froze, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

Yun Haoyu said coldly: "If I can't get a satisfactory answer to this question, then there's no need for us to continue talking!"

Kumron's face changed again, and he was quickly thinking about how to deal with the emperor's persecution.

Of course Fang Yuqing was imprisoned in the imperial capital, but this important hostage was what he was going to say at the most critical moment in the negotiations with the Xinghui Empire, as a bargaining chip to oppress the emperor to make concessions!

If he admits it now, then Yun Haoyu will definitely ask him to send the queen back first, and then negotiate. Without this card, the Bo Jiang clan will definitely be more passive!But deny it directly, the consequences will be more serious, His Majesty the Emperor who is angry will definitely order to slaughter the stars immediately, and there is no point in doing anything else!

He looked around in a daze, and the murderous senior generals on both sides of the jade steps were all looking at him with deadly eyes. The palace guards had already put their hands on the hilts of their swords. Perhaps as long as the emperor gave an order, they would immediately kill him. They will be dragged out for "processing"!

"Your Majesty is right, Empress Fang is indeed under house arrest in the Imperial Palace!" Ku Mulong sighed bitterly, and slowly replied:

"The foreign ministers will immediately ask Her Majesty the Queen to send the Queen back unscathed, so as to prove the sincerity of our family!"

After several weighings, he decided to tell the truth, otherwise he would anger Yun Haoyu, lose his own head, and endanger the lives of all the clansmen, which would be a serious crime!

Yun Haoyu's face softened slightly: "In this case, then you should go back first! As long as my queen can come back, the next negotiation will surely be smoother!"

Cumron bowed deeply, then took his leave and exited.

After he left, Su Shangqing couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, will they really be so obedient? If they take the queen as a hostage and threaten us to make concessions, wouldn't it be..."

Yun Haoyu smiled and said, "Now it's no different than before. As long as that empress has a minimum IQ, she won't risk completely angering the empire by doing those stupid things!"

"Then, if the other party really meets all our requirements, should we let this alien civilization go?" Luo Qingyue asked.

"This..." Yun Haoyu pondered, "It depends on their performance! But even if we let them go, I don't want too many Bojiang people to survive! Order our fleet, in addition to continue Outside of the siege of the imperial capital, continue to clean up the remaining star fields, and try to clean up more before the agreement is reached!"

Although Empress Qi has great ambitions and talents, her mother still has some brains. Since she is in charge of the current Bojiang clan, no matter how harsh the terms are, she will probably grit her teeth and accept them. Therefore, Your Majesty will start doing certain things now!

……

The next day, the envoys of the Bojiang clan visited again, but this time the leader was no longer Kumron, but Rui Yaqin herself.

"Your Majesty, stay safe and sound!" Yun Haoyu on the throne said calmly.

Rui Yaqin, who was dressed in plain clothes, gave him a complicated look, bowed down gracefully, and responded softly: "Your Majesty, the sinners are here to ask for surrender on behalf of the Bojiang clan! Vassal, I hope that Your Majesty will take pity on our bloodline and let them live!"

Fang Yuqing stared blankly at the familiar figure on the throne, her eyes were slightly moist.

When he was taken away last time, he still didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Now it seems that he not only successfully escaped from the predicament and survived the crisis safely, but also his cultivation base has become more and more advanced, and it is not in vain that he misses him every day.

It's just that time has changed. It has been more than two years since we last met. Is he still the same as before?

I didn't notice for a while, and I was taken away by spies, the imperial capital was leaderless, Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to plot rebellion, and even almost caused a catastrophe!In his heart, would he hate himself for this?

Just when she was in a daze, a gentle voice rang in her ear: "Queen, are you alright?"

She was startled suddenly, only to realize that Yun Haoyu had stood in front of her at some point, with obvious concern in his deep eyes.

"Your Majesty, I'm... fine!" She replied in a panic, her beautiful eyes turning red.

Yun Haoyu seemed to have read her mind, smiled nonchalantly, took her hand and walked up the jade steps again, and then sat down with her arm in his arms.

"If you have anything to say, wait until the court meeting is over, let's deal with the business first!" He whispered to her with mental fluctuations.

Fang Yuqing nodded slightly, her heart filled with great joy.

"Okay, Your Majesty, since you have shown enough sincerity, let's talk openly and honestly now!" Yun Haoyu corrected his expression, looked at Rui Yaqin below and said:

"Our terms are as follows: First, in view of the huge losses that the Bojiang family once brought to the empire, from now on, you must give up all your independence and completely become vassals of the human world! Therefore, the Bojiang royal family should not continue to exist, The empire will set up a separate management committee to handle all affairs within the Bo Jiang clan!"

"Secondly, the Bojiang family will not be able to use any form of armed force in the future, and the imperial legion will be solely responsible for security affairs; thirdly, except for the original imperial capital and the [-] surrounding star fields, the rest of the territory must be handed over to the empire unconditionally; fourthly All the wealth in the treasury of the Bojiang family must be turned over to the imperial government! Fifth, the previous empress, Dai Yuer, as the number one war criminal, must be handed over to the empire, and all the main fighters and their family members are no exception; sixth ..."

There are nearly a hundred various clauses, all of which can be said to be extremely harsh, but compared to the harm that the Bojiang Empire once caused, such a treaty is actually not too much, at least they can avoid the fate of complete annihilation!
