Chapter 298: Negotiation Results, Aftermath

"OK?" Changsun Ling and the other three daughters obviously didn't understand Cao Ke's English that came out of his urgency, and their faces were full of puzzlement, and they looked at each other in surprise, and finally Changsun Ling, the person closest to Cao Ke, asked: "I said Brother Ke, you ...... o...... K, what the hell do you mean?"
Cao Ke's face turned dark, and he didn't bother to explain so much to the third girl, so he could only continue to frown, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "That's what it means to shut you up!"
Hearing this, the three girls nodded together in tacit understanding, and said in unison: "No problem! You are the biggest here! If you let us be OK, we will be OK!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the three girls laughed out loud in no particular order, excited that they could have such a tacit understanding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing the atmosphere of the three girls becoming extremely deed in an instant, Cao Ke was stunned and directly stunned on the spot! He couldn't imagine that he had beaten himself to death, why the third girl, who had been in a tense and desperate posture before, would look like a girlfriend after a few words.
"Alas~!" With a long sigh, Cao Ke said to himself: "There are many women around, the only disadvantage is trouble! It seems that I need to be restrained when I find a girlfriend in the future, if I really come out with a women's army, I'm afraid I won't have my good fruit to eat in the future!"
As he spoke, Cao Ke nodded vigorously, as if he was confirming his thoughts......
After lunch, Queen Naga said goodbye to Cao Ke, saying that she would return to the Naga clan first, after all, she would follow Cao Ke from now on and integrate into Cao Ke's forces, so it was impossible for her to continue to sit on the throne of the Naga clan, she needed to return to the clan, elect the next queen who would succeed her, and then hand over her own affairs and some experience to the new queen, after which she could follow Cao Ke without worries and help Cao Ke achieve a career.
Although Cao Ke was still a little worried that Queen Naga might not abide by their previous agreement and take advantage of this opportunity to return to the Naga clan and disappear without a trace, Cao Ke still happily agreed to Queen Naga's request, anyway, as Cao Ke said with Queen Naga before, there is no suspicion of using people! If Cao Ke wants to subdue Queen Naga, he has to give people full trust, otherwise how can people be willing to work for him Cao Ke?
Soon after Queen Naga left, Mu Ling also came to say goodbye to Cao Ke and Changsun Ling, according to the explanation given by Mu Ling, that is, she had left her master Cao Yaoshi for too long, and she missed her master very much, and she happened to be idle now, and wanted to go back to the Tongtian Empire to see her master.
To be honest, Cao Ke didn't want Mu Ling to leave him from the bottom of his heart, this was not because Cao Ke had any wrong thoughts about Mu Ling, but because Mu Ling's attainments in medical skills really made Cao Ke reluctant to give up! Although Cao Ke already had such a skilled helper as Changsun Ling by his side, what leader didn't want one more miracle doctor under his command?
It is precisely for the above reasons that Cao Ke can only carry out his shameless kung fu, and "persecute" Mu Ling with the eldest grandson Ling to agree, once she finishes reading the master, she will immediately return to Cao Ke's side and help Cao Ke establish his own power!
Mu Ling himself has the intention of following Cao Ke, because Cao Ke's excellent talent in commanding the final stage of the war between the Sea Clan and the Sunset Kingdom makes Mu Ling completely sure that Cao Ke will not be a thing in the pool, and he will definitely soar in the future, so Mu Ling will agree to Cao Ke and Changsun Ling's request very smoothly under half a push, as long as he finishes watching his master, he will definitely come back again!
Cao Ke was overjoyed by Mu Ling's promise, and he personally sent people to form a small fleet to escort Mu Ling back to the Tongtian Empire. When Mu Ling was leaving, Cao Ke even asked the eldest grandson Ling to send a large bag of gold coins to Mu Ling for Mu Ling to use on the road. Such a thoughtful gesture made Mu Ling's heart warm, just like a relative......
After Queen Naga and Mu Ling left, there were only two people left, Cao Ke and Changsun Ling, and the room they stayed in was also quiet all of a sudden, this quiet atmosphere was very easy to make people think this or that, Cao Ke's mind, at this time, the figure of the dragon girl kept flashing.
"I don't know how Long'er is now...... Cao Ke's tone sounded very sad, "Kanaka hasn't sent any news back since he first tracked down Long'er, which really makes me have to worry......"
Eldest Sun Ling poured a glass of juice for Cao Ke, handed it to Cao Ke's hand, and said softly: "Brother Ke, in my opinion, you don't need to worry so much, the reason why the enemy will arrest Sister Long'er is not because Sister Long'er has considerable value for them! As long as Sister Long'er is valuable to them, then they will definitely not hurt Sister Long'er!" So there is still a lot of time left for us, we can slowly find the whereabouts of Sister Long'er, and when we find the whereabouts of Sister Long'er, we will definitely rescue her!
Cao Ke nodded a little bitterly: "Judging from the current situation, we can only wait slowly as you said...... But even if it is bitter Long'er, in the hands of the enemy, she will definitely suffer a lot of sins......"
Eldest Sun Ling wanted to persuade Cao Ke two more words, but before she could say anything, she heard a gentle knock outside their door: "Young Master Cao, Eldest Sun Girl, Prince Jingyun and the Great Chief have completed the negotiations with the Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom, and are now waiting for you two to go!"
"Finished talking?" Cao Ke and Eldest Sun Ling were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly opened the door, and followed the soldier who had come to report to them, and came to a room that was not very large.
In the palace of the Sunset Kingdom, there are naturally many houses such as this palace and that palace, and now that Cao Ke and the others have completely occupied the palace, the leaders of the army have naturally temporarily lived in this palace to deal with the post-war disposal of the Sunset Kingdom, and the house where the Great Chief and Prince Jingyun are staying now is the study room where the emperor of the Sunset Kingdom usually reads quietly, and the reason why they chose this study as a place for discussion and decision-making is naturally the rather quiet environment around the study.
When they saw Cao Ke and Eldest Sun Ling pushing the door in, Prince Jingyun, the Great Chief, and Cao Hong stood up together and greeted them.
Cao Hong laughed loudly, patted his third brother on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Third brother, you kid will hide and be quiet! We have been negotiating with the Sunset Kingdom for a long time, and we have been talking from morning to now, but your kid is laughing and playing with the United States outside, which really makes my brother and I both envious and jealous!"
Cao Ke scratched his head embarrassedly, and responded: "Big brother, you guessed wrong, how can I have the heart to laugh and laugh, how long have you been talking inside, how long have I been worried about you outside!"
"It's true! Brother Ke is really worried! I can testify!" Changsun Ling also echoed.
Prince Jingyun smiled very elegantly, raised his hand and pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Okay, okay, Cao Aiqing, don't make fun of Sanshao...... Come on, let's sit down and talk about it!"
According to Prince Jingyun's instructions, everyone sat down separately, and Changsun Ling also played the role of a maid at this time, and after pouring a cup of tea for everyone present, he sat down beside Cao Ke obediently.
The Great Chief said bluntly: "This time, our negotiations with the Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom have basically achieved the goal we expected! The Sunset Kingdom not only signed a permanent truce agreement with our Sea Clan, but also promised our Sea Clan to dissolve the subordinate relationship with them before, that is to say, our Sea Clan no longer has to pay tribute to his Sunset Kingdom every year, and our Sea Clan, like his Sunset Kingdom, is an independent country with its own absolute sovereignty over the entire East China Sea!"
"Not only that, but the Sunset Kingdom has also promised to compensate our Sea Clan with 500 million gold coins as compensation for their war against our Sea Clan! I believe that with these 500 million gold coins, our Sea Clan will definitely develop rapidly!"
Cao Ke nodded and said, "The Sea Clan is the victorious country, and such conditions are understandable...... Saying that, Cao Ke turned to Prince Jingyun and Cao Hong and asked, "Didn't our Tongtian Empire ask for any compensation from the Sunset Kingdom?"
Prince Jingyun waved his hand with a smile and said: "The Sunset Kingdom has been our subordinate country since ancient times, although they also followed Gu's imperial brother Tang Feng to deal with Gu this time, but in the end, they did not cause any direct harm to Gu, from the perspective of our Tongtian Empire, all of this can only be regarded as our own internal struggle, the cause is Tang Feng, not in the Sunset Kingdom, so when Gu was negotiating, he adopted the suggestion of Cao Qing's family and did not ask for any compensation to the Sunset Kingdom......"
Cao Ke frowned slightly when he heard this, and the eldest grandson Ling next to him said directly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how can you say that the Sunset Kingdom is not responsible? If it weren't for his Sunset Kingdom sending troops to help, would my Dragon Girl Sister be captured by Prince Tang Feng in the last naval battle?"
Hearing Eldest Sun Ling mention the Dragon Maiden, the Great Chief couldn't help but turn pale, and then he let out a long sigh and said, "Anyway, Xiao Jiu's problem is still a personal problem after all, and the culprit is still Tang Feng, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the Sunset Kingdom......
Cao Hong said: "Yes, third child, Ling'er, the Sunset Kingdom has also promised us that it will do its best to help us find the whereabouts of the Dragon Maiden in the next period of time...... I believe that with the help of them, an ally of the former Prince Tang Feng, we will find the whereabouts of the Dragon Maiden just around the corner...... Not only that, the Emperor of the Sunset Kingdom also took the initiative to offer us some compensation, which made the three of us clearly feel their desire for peace...... So, we didn't put any more stringent conditions on the Sunset Kingdom. ”
