Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 957 Chapter 958 I'm afraid I can't keep it
Xiong Yu has been a proton in the Tang Empire for more than two years, and he has actually lived a very nourishing life in the Tang Empire in the past two years.

On weekdays, no one bullied him. Being the dog's leg of the Tang Empire is actually infinitely happier than being the dog's leg of the Dahua Empire in the past.

On the side of the Tang Empire, the new aristocrats are bound by the law, and other officials have a high level of integrity. Everyone has work to do. The Tang Empire is also on the rise, and no one has time to make things difficult for a proton of a slave country.

For other countries, they didn't dare to be presumptuous in the territory of the Tang Empire, and naturally they didn't have the bad luck to go to Chu State for such a scrap.Everyone was cautious for fear of being missed by the Great Tang Empire, who was okay to make trouble for himself because of the Chu country?
Therefore, without the oppression of the Great Hua Empire, and the people of the Great Tang Empire did not bother him, Xiong Yu was actually quite happy in the past few years in the Great Tang Empire.

The old king of Chu, Xiong Biao, felt sorry for his son, and often gave him some money to make up for his own faults.

After all, in the past two years, Chu State has followed the Tang Empire and received a large part of the backward industries that the Tang Empire did not want, and it really made a lot of money.

So King Xiong Biao became rich, and he didn't mean to his son who was going to be a hostage, so he gave Xiong Biao a lot of financial support.

With money, you can buy everything. Xiong Yu has a villa in Chang'an prepared by the Tang Empire. It is not allowed to be rebuilt or used for other purposes, so there is no need to buy a house.So Xiong Xie can only buy all kinds of novelty items after taking the money.

He has used the TV radio for a long time, and he has enjoyed the fluorescent lamps for a long time. He also likes to collect various works of art from the Tang Empire. In short, he was cheated out of a lot of money...

You say that a person who dares not do anything, has some money, and outsiders seem to have a lot of background, who knows the basics and doesn't discipline him very much, what should his life be like?

Xiong Xiong just eats some delicacies from mountains and seas every day, and then goes to the various clubs to check in, and wanders around Chang'an city... The so-called idlers are just like that.

As the crown prince of a country, even if Xiong Xiong went to the clubhouse, he couldn't casually find a woman. Whether it was reported back to the Chu State, or the officials of the Tang Empire found out, it would cause trouble.

The protons of the Chu state recruit prostitutes in the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, which is tantamount to slapping the Tang Empire in the face. Can Xiong Xi take care of it?

Besides, he is also the crown prince of a country after all, and not just any woman can climb into his bed.What if my king's father found out about his misbehavior and wanted to change the crown prince?
He never dared to go out of the city. He was really afraid of being killed by someone with ulterior motives, or being misunderstood by the Tang Empire and treated as if he had run away.

It's not interesting at home, and it's taboo to make friends, so besides eating, drinking, and living chicly, Xiong Xi is also really boring.

In fact, it’s not really boring, because Xiong Yu has a learning task here in the Tang Empire. He has four days a week to learn the culture of the Tang Empire, and even has the opportunity to observe the Tang Empire. military courses.

The purpose of doing this is actually very easy to understand, it is to influence Xiong Yu, let him accept the Great Tang Empire, agree with the Great Tang Empire in his heart, and fear the Great Tang Empire.

This day was no different at all, Xiong Xiong had just taken a shower and was going to go out to a certain club at night.

As a result, news suddenly came that Nan Gonghong, the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire, had invited him.Scared so much that Xiong Xiong hurriedly found out his most expensive Tang suit, asked his attendant to iron it, and wore it on his body to go to the Forbidden City.

To say that this Forbidden City is not something that people like him can enter casually, and the Tang suit that looks like a formal dress on Xiong Yu's body is not something that can be worn at any time.

Following behind the guards, Xiong Yu, who entered the Forbidden City for the fourth time, was still a little apprehensive. Looking at the high-ranking officials of the Tang Empire in a hurry, Xiong Yu felt that his steps were a little stiff when he walked.

This group of buildings composed of red walls and bright tiles can be said to be the most majestic and solemn place in the entire Western Continent, and even in the entire world.Everyone who walks here can feel the awesome pressure.

Walking on such a road is really stressful.He followed the soldiers on the planned sidewalk, watching the cars in the middle of the road speeding past one after another, envious of the officials who could enter the Forbidden City by car.

The Forbidden City of the Tang Empire is too big, and it takes into account the office capacity, so some people are allowed to drive in the Forbidden City.

Moreover, there are also special cars in the Forbidden City to provide scheduled services, which can facilitate officials to go to the departments they want to go to.

Although the layout is the same, the Forbidden City of the Tang Empire is much larger than the Forbidden City in Tang Mo's memory.If this were placed 20 years ago, the Forbidden City itself would have been the size of a city.

When Xiong Xi walked to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Building in the Wenhua Palace, he walked into Nan Gonghong's office tremblingly, and saw that Nan Gonghong's face was not ugly, so he was more or less relieved.

It doesn't look like he has offended any gods, it's just that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire has something to do with him.

The magnificent office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still makes people a little nervous. This place represents the face of the Tang Empire, so a lot of thought has been put into the decoration.

Nangong Hong, who was sitting behind the huge desk, stretched out his hand casually, signaling to Xiong Yu that there was a set of sofas for receiving guests behind him: "Sit down."

"Thank you, thank you sir." Xiong Xi was very reserved, he dared not sit down until he thanked him, he sat on the sofa with only half of his buttocks, he leaned forward and didn't even dare to lean on.

"How is life in Chang'an recently?" Nangong Hong looked at the honest Xiong Yu, very satisfied with his attitude.

In fact, Xiong Yu's every move in Chang'an was monitored, and his performance was also recorded all the time, and someone even compiled and reported it specially.

Xiong Yu performed well in his studies in the Great Tang Empire. Now he cannot do without the many conveniences of the Great Tang Empire, and he is also suppressed by the power of the Great Tang Empire.

Sitting in front of Nangonghong was a prince who was even more respectful and obedient than Zhao Yu, and he even yearned for and agreed with Datang more.

It is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Chu to have such a future monarch.

Xiong Xiong, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly recited the manuscript he had practiced, and praised how magnificent Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, was: "Thank you for remembering, Chang'an is full of weather, foreign ministers..."

Nangong Hong didn't ask him to do this either, he waved his hands and brought the conversation back to the point: "Okay, don't be so cautious, this time I came here, I have something good to see you for."

"Please make it clear, my lord." When Xiong Xi heard that it was a good thing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty feels that it is time for Chu to expand its borders." Nan Gonghong said, as if talking about a trivial matter.

The foreign minister of one country and the crown prince of another country said that you should expand your territory. What a fantasy thing this is.

Therefore, after hearing what Nangong Hong said, Xiong Xi's first reaction was whether he heard it wrong.Then, after confirming that he had heard correctly, he said in embarrassment, his tone full of embarrassment: "Hiss... my lord, this, this, the country of Chu is weak, it is really..."

Not even his father, Xiong Biao, dared to make decisions about foreign wars. How could he, the crown prince, dare to plan a war with the diplomatic department of the Tang Empire?
Just kidding, how many years has the Chu State not fought a foreign war?The last time he pretended to be X and declared war on the Tang Empire, he failed to break into the border of the Tang Empire, and he even lost the entire north.

That battle broke the spirit of Chu State, shattered the backbone of Chu State, and shattered the dreams of Chu State.They are completely lying down now, and many nobles wake up every day and pray for the Tang Empire to go south as soon as possible, so that they can become real Tang people.

Nangong Hong interrupted the other party's stuttering, and asked with a smile: "Don't rush to refuse! With the support of the empire, are you afraid that you won't win? And this time, you are not asked to fight immediately, but to let you You follow others to pick up bargains."

"This..." Xiong Xi didn't know what to say for a while, could he get involved in this crap?

"Let's put it bluntly, Qin State is about to start a war with Shu State, and they promised that Chu State can get some territory in the northern part of Shu State." Nangonghong looked at the bewildered Xiong Li, and added.

Nangonghong also knew that he couldn't make the decision, so he didn't plan to discuss it with him.This time he came here just to let him inform the King of Chu, Xiong Biao.

"Ah?" Xiong Xiong didn't know what to say. How could he still get free territory if he was messing with his elder brother?Is there such a good thing in the world?

"So, you can contact your father and ask him if he would like to exchange some land." Nangong Hong continued.

"Yes, yes, the foreign minister immediately contacted the father." After Xiong Xi finished this sentence, he realized the content of what Nan Gonghong said just now—what does it mean to exchange some land, and what does it mean?
"Our condition is, Nanshan Port! Whatever your father wants, you can ask for it. Nanshan Port belongs to our Tang Empire." Tu Qiong saw that Nangong Hong finally stated the purpose of talking to Xiong Yu this time.

The Tang Empire wants an overseas enclave, and what it wants is the most valuable in the Chu Kingdom... Nanshan Port.

"..." Sure enough, there is nothing free in this world.Xiong Xi lowered his head with a bitter face, and promised Nangong Hong: "The minister knows."

In fact, he was already roughly certain that this Nanshan Port... I'm afraid, could not be kept.
