"The Sunset Kingdom has offered to compensate our Tongtian Empire?" Hearing this, Changsun Ling was slightly stunned: "So it's still the past......" After saying this, Changsun Ling set his eyes on Cao Ke's body, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious, he just wanted to hear Cao Ke's opinion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Ke asked Cao Hong, "Then big brother, what is the compensation offered by this Sunset Kingdom?"

Cao Hong said without hesitation: "First of all, the Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom has once again confirmed the fact that their Sunset Kingdom is a subordinate state of our Tongtian Empire, and has greatly increased the amount of annual tribute paid to our Tongtian Empire every year. ”

"Secondly, the Sunset Kingdom will also open all their treaty ports to our Tongtian Empire, and the merchants of our Tongtian Empire can trade at will in all the cities of their Sunset Kingdom, and enjoy a much more favorable tax rate than the local merchants of the Sunset Kingdom......"

When Cao Hong said this, Cao Ke couldn't help but gasp directly, and said with emotion: "This Sunset Kingdom's posture is quite right! With these two measures alone, as long as our Tongtian Empire has a heart, we can easily grasp the economic lifeline of the Sunset Kingdom...... If our Tongtian Empire can get these two preferential conditions, it will also make a lot of money, no loss! No loss!"

"Yes!" Cao Hong echoed: "The emperors of the Sunset Kingdom have put forward such conditions, what else can we say? What's more, other people's conditions are not only these two!"

As soon as Cao Hong's words came out, Cao Ke was greatly shocked: "Are there other conditions?

Prince Jingyun smiled and said, "In order to dispel all the concerns of our Tongtian Empire, the Sunset Kingdom also took the initiative to sign a permanent agreement with us, that is, the Sunset Kingdom will send the second prince of each of their emperors to our Tongtian Empire to study! Even if they want to launch an attack on our Tongtian Empire one day, they must first consider the safety of the prince as a hostage!"

Cao Ke nodded: "This is also a common means for weak countries to surrender to strong countries, and strong countries generally use to control weak countries...... It's just that there are some exceptions this time, such conditions were actually proposed by the weak country of the Sunset Kingdom first, which is like giving us a reassurance, it seems that the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom, we can still be trusted!"

Seeing that Cao Ke had no objections, Cao Hong, Prince Jingyun and the Great Chief looked at each other and smiled, and Prince Jingyun said in a harmonious voice: "Cao Aiqing, the last thing is for you to talk about with the three young men, after all, you are brothers, and if you have some words, it is better to open your mouth, as for the Great Chief and Gu, I won't stay here longer!"

After speaking, Prince Jingyun didn't wait for Cao Hong to agree, he waved directly at the big chief, and the two stood up, and after saying a simple goodbye to Cao Ke and Changsun Ling, they walked out of the door of the study and disappeared in a turn.

Cao Hong looked at the gradually disappearing backs of the two, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, Cao Ke and Changsun Ling looked at each other inexplicably, and Changsun Ling asked Cao Hong in surprise: "Big brother, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?

Cao Hong snorted: "That's right, the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom does have other conditions, but this condition is a separate ...... for the third child."

"Conditions for me?" Cao Hong's words made Cao Ke even more confused: "The Sunset Kingdom also put forward conditions specifically for me?"

Cao Hong's face was entangled, and he was stunned for a long time, and there was really no other way, so he could only say honestly: "After the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom knew that it was the Sea Clan commanded by the third child who defeated his Sunset Kingdom, he greatly appreciated the ability of the third child, and later, he slowly turned this appreciation into extreme affection...... The emperor of the Sunset Kingdom said that the reason why he proposed so many preferential conditions that were beneficial to our Tongtian Empire and the Sea Clan was a big factor in you, the third child......"

Cao Ke said with a shocked face when he heard this: "Big brother, why do I feel like panic when I hear what you say?...... You better tell me directly, what does the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom want me to do?"

"Ahem...... The requirements of the Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom are actually very simple......" Cao Hong's tone sounded strange and strange: "He is very interested in your qualifications...... Moreover, he also has a daughter, the eldest princess of the Sunset Kingdom, Luna Ikawa, who has not yet been married...... The emperor of the Sunset Kingdom thought...... Marry his eldest princess to ...... Third child, when you have a child in the future, the girl will be returned to our Cao family, and the first boy will be hugged to the Kingdom of the Sunset and be the heir to the throne of the Sunset Kingdom......"

Cao Hong's words were like a muffled thunder on the ground, directly thundering Cao Ke and Changsun Ling! Before Cao Ke could say anything, Changsun Ling took the lead in standing up, shaking a pair of small hands vigorously, and said to Cao Hong anxiously: "How can he put forward such a condition in the Sunset Kingdom? No, this is absolutely not possible! Cao Ke was originally a big carrot, and he would show mercy everywhere he went, and our sisters couldn't stand it when they were staring at it, how could you still help him paddle it, big brother?"

Cao Hong's face was embarrassed, and he spread his hands and said innocently: "This is not something that I can decide alone...... After all, there was Prince Jingyun present during the negotiation, and all the conditions were finally implemented on paper, and Prince Jingyun needed to nod himself......"

Cao Ke interjected and asked, "Then Prince Jingyun agreed to this request of the Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom?"

Cao Hong nodded weakly: "Agreed...... Prince Jingyun also specially instructed me for this, he knows that you have a strong pursuit of women, and the condition he promised the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom is a reward for you to take the risk to save him, so that you don't live up to his kindness...... At the same time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly reminded me to make it clear to you that this marriage between you and the eldest princess is related to the long-term peace and stability between the two countries of the Tongtian Empire and the Sunset Kingdom.......

"Okay!" Before Cao Hong could finish speaking, Eldest Sun Ling interrupted him with a scream: "Big brother, don't say it again! You go and tell Prince Jingyun, what is the eldest princess of the Sunset Kingdom, what is Luna's ......?"

"It's Luna Ikawa!" Cao Ke reminded.

The eldest grandson glared at Cao Ke fiercely, and then said to Cao Hong: "Yes, it's this Ikawa Luna, my brother Ke will never marry her......!

"Luna Ikawa!" Cao Ke reminded again, bowing his head.

"Shut up! there's no room for you to intervene here!" Changsun Ling shouted angrily again, slapped the table hard, and came to a categorical conclusion: "I will never let this Ikawa Luna enter the door of our Cao family~!"

As soon as the words fell, Eldest Sun Ling directly picked up Cao Ke and strode out of the study. Cao Ke, who was dragged away by the eldest grandson, could only cast an apologetic expression to his eldest brother, which seemed to mean, it's not that you don't give your eldest brother this face when you are a younger brother, it's really that those positions in the family are too strict and have no freedom......

After waiting for Cao Ke and the others to leave, Cao Hong was the only one left in the entire study, only to see Cao Hong let out a long sigh with his back facing the sky, and said to himself with an infinitely sad expression: "I knew it would be such a result...... Although the women of the third child are all charming and beautiful, it seems that this blessing of Qi people is not so easy to enjoy...... It's better for me, just Yunting is a wife, and she is harmonious, and she will never be jealous of these things...... But then again, Ling'er didn't agree, I had to find a way to explain to Prince Jingyun...... I'm going to die of sorrow......"

While speaking, Cao Hong directly picked up the teacup on the table, tilted his neck, and drank all the tea inside, and the melancholy feeling was clear at a glance......

Leaving aside the tangled Cao Hong, let's just talk about Cao Ke and Changsun Ling.

Cao Ke, who was carried out of the study by Changsun Ling all the way, came to a no-man's land, so he grabbed Changsun Ling's wrist, stopped and said, "Okay Ling'er, eldest brother, he didn't chase him out, so don't run away so anxiously!"

The eldest grandson glanced at Cao Ke angrily, and said coldly: "I rejected your marriage to the eldest princess, eldest brother, are you extremely unhappy now? I can tell you, you have already confirmed that there are already four women in your relationship! This is already the limit that we women can accept! Do you understand when I say this?"

"Oh! Of course I understand!" Cao Ke said a little innocently: "But you can control me, but you can't control Prince Jingyun, and you can't control the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom! They have to marry the eldest princess to me, but I didn't force it myself!"

"Hmph!" the eldest grandson Ling said disdainfully: "They just treat you as a breeding pig! They also fancy your qualifications, I really feel worthless for that eldest princess! I haven't seen what you look like, I'm going to become your wife, and besides, your children have been added to the conditions, and your family is so sad!"

Seeing that the eldest grandson Ling became more and more angry, Cao Ke could only comfort: "Things have come to this point, so what do you say I should do? Could it be that you still let me really disobey the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ignore the eldest princess?"

"What's that?!" Eldest Sun Ling said as a matter of course: "I not only want you to resolutely not agree to Prince Jingyun's arrangement, but also let you leave this Haijing City with me immediately and go back to Haicheng!
