It was midnight in the imperial capital.
The city had truly awakened.
Countless wine shops and nightclubs welcomed the busiest time of the day.
Drunk men and women could be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys.
And under these appearances, undercurrents were surging.
The information from the Luming Villa flowed to the embassies of various countries through various channels.
"A young general expert?"
"The illegitimate son of the late Emperor?"
"The eldest princess\'s mate?"
All sorts of rumors flowed in the documents.
The intelligence dealers\ 'faces were full of glory.
And in the secret underground conference rooms inside the embassies, the lights did not stop throughout the night.
For many people, this night was a little long.
This was especially true for the Xinluo people!
"Through our spies... we already know that the Fusang girl surnamed Chiba has already entered the Luming Villa!"
"Considering where she came from... we have to guess that she might have already met Master X and conveyed the request of the Fusang people!"
"If that\'s the case!" Xinluo Ambassador Wen Fengming\'s face was cold, "Then all of us in the embassy should cut off our fingers to apologize!"
The embassy officials present all lowered their heads in shame.
Wen Fengming looked at these people and said, "Don\'t you all know the attitude of the country?"
"The King, the Queen, and all the people are waiting for us to send back good news!"
"Next year is the year of the contract..."
"If we don\'t come up with a good condition, or if the Fusang people come up with a better condition than ours..."
"Do you all know how the people of the country will view us?"
Everyone lowered their heads even more.
The consciousness of the people of Xinluo was extremely strong, especially when facing Fusang. It could be described as fiery.
This was caused by a long historical entanglement and the conflict of interests in reality.
In ancient times, Fusang and Xinluo invaded each other.
In the previous dynasty, Fusang had almost destroyed Xinluo. It was only because of the rescue of the Imperial Army that they survived.
Then, the Great Xia Dynasty set up an expedition to the Beizhou Dynasty.
Xinluo and Fusang all responded to the call of the Imperial Army and sent out a volunteer army to follow the Imperial Army to destroy the tyranny and save the people.
In the war, for the sake of merit, there were many contradictions.
The two classes of Xinluo and the warriors of Fusang had been opposing each other since then.
In the modern era, the two countries that faced each other across the sea became even more antagonistic due to the problem of Transcendent resources in East Sea and the practical problem of interests.
After so many mishaps, they had almost fallen into a state of declaring war.
It was the Federal Empire's mediation that forcefully stopped the conflict, allowing the two countries to maintain a superficial plastic relationship.
But in reality, they had long regarded each other as enemies.
Once the Transcendents of the two countries met on the high seas, they would definitely fight.
Only when there was hope of entering China would the two countries put aside their differences and work together.
Therefore, once Japan gained the upper hand this time, it would lead to favorable trade and industrial treaty negotiations next year.
Wen Fengming knew that the surging public opinion and boiling anger in the country would push the embassy into the abyss.
Even though he was the Li clan's son-in-law, he would surely be used as a sacrifice to quench the flames of anger.
Loosening his collar, Wen Fengming said, "How's the preparation for our plan?"
"When can our people enter the Luming Villa?"
A middle-aged official stood up and said, "Mr. Ambassador, the high-quality girl groups that we have selected from within the country have all been vetted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs …"
"The first batch of people will receive the permit as soon as tomorrow morning!"
Only then did Wen Fengming's expression improve slightly.
He said to that person, "Go tell everyone …"
"Tell them that their work is noble, great, and noble!"
"Our citizens and future generations will thank them for their work today!"
"Yes!" The official nodded.
Wen Fengming let out a soft sigh.
The Silla Kingdom was a traditional, conservative, and extremely united kingdom.
The Confucian ideology still occupied an absolute dominant position.
And those girls who were selected to join the entertainment company had to receive the strictest Confucian education since they were young.
The three obediences and four virtues were deeply rooted in their bones.
Every single one of them was a perfect classical beauty.
This was also the trump card of Silla's diplomacy.
There were very few people who could reject a Xin Luo concubine who was obedient, had no complaints, was young and beautiful, and had no risk at all.
It was precisely because of these people that Wen Fengming did not panic.
In his opinion, since that Master X was willing to come.
Then, he would definitely fall into his own trap.
As long as one succeeded …
He clenched his fists!
… …
On the opposite side of the Silla Embassy, almost diagonally, the basement of the Fusang Embassy was also full of officials.
But the atmosphere was cheerful.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Li Gong has paid a visit to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess Rouan..." an official said happily, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has specially given a VIP invitation letter and invited His Royal Highness the Prince to tour Mount Zhong together..."
"In addition, Miss Chiba has also sent back news..."
"That person has already agreed to attend our ball!"
Everyone immediately cheered.
Ambassador Takeda Neizhi of Fusang drank the sake in his hand in relief.
Then, he stood up and looked at his colleagues in the embassy. "Everyone! We can't be happy yet! "
"We have to seize this opportunity!"
"Let Fusang take a solid step into China!"
For the Fusang Kingdom, entering China was their ultimate dream.
Joining the big family of the Federal Empire and becoming an 'equal and independent' member.
While continuing to enjoy their independence, they could also enjoy the honor of being the number one empire in the world.
At the same time, they could also use the national power of this powerful empire to suppress the thieves in the country and maintain social order.
That was the dream of 'common prosperity' of the Fusang people.
"Ha Yi!" Everyone stood up and bowed in unison.
Takeda Neizhi pressed his hand down and asked everyone to sit down. Then, he said, "There\'s something I want to remind everyone of!"
He turned his head to the side.
"The Xinluo people will definitely not sit back and watch our career go smoothly!"
"They will definitely try their best to interfere!"
"We can\'t even rule out the possibility of them using violence!"
For Xinluo and Fusang, the gains and losses of diplomacy would be magnified.
Therefore, in order not to fail, all kinds of secret wars between the two countries had always been heard.
Assassinations and assassinations in private were endless.
The chaos of the feathered fox back then might have been caused by the Xinluo people behind the scenes!
In any case, for Fusang, if anything bad happened, they could just blame it on Xinluo.
That was because countless facts had proven that the Xinluo people had indeed participated in many conspiracies and schemes against Fusang.
Takeda Neizhi stood up. "So, everyone, we must keep our eyes open, observe carefully, and protect carefully!"
"Ha Yi!"
… …
He slept until he woke up naturally.
When Ling Ping\ 'an opened his eyes, he picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was almost eight o\' clock.
Ling Ping\ 'an stretched lazily. "The bed in the royal villa is indeed comfortable to sleep on!"
Getting up from the bed, Ling Ping\ 'an walked to the bathroom and began to brush his teeth and wash his face.
His cat had been by his side the whole time.
When he finished washing his face and turned around to see the little guy, Ling Ping\ 'an squatted down and picked it up. "Little Darling, let\'s go down for breakfast!"
Meow!
The kitten meowed softly, supporting its master\'s decision.
He walked to the door, put the room card into his pocket, and opened the door.
"Hello!" Unexpectedly, there was already someone at the door.
A girl who looked very young, perhaps only sixteen or seventeen years old?
Her small face was obviously still childish.
But her voice was a little pleasant to hear, and her attitude was very respectful.
The young girl bowed deeply. "Young master, I\'m a Xinluo volunteer who is responsible for the hygiene and cleaning of your room!"
"Xinluo?" Ling Ping\ 'an was rather surprised.
"Yes!" The other party bowed again and seemed a little nervous. "My name is Yin Mingxiu!"
"If there\'s anything wrong with your work, please punish me, young master!" As she said that, she lowered her head deeply.
Ling Ping\ 'an scratched his head and asked curiously, "Even if you did something wrong, what right do I have to punish you?"
This was indeed a very strange thing.
Yin Mingxiu lowered her head and said, "Young master, you are a guest of Shang Kingdom, a pillar of the world..."
"Because of your dedication, we can live in this safe, peaceful and prosperous world!"
"If I do something wrong while serving you, it will be a crime against the world..."
"So, it\'s only right for you to punish me!" As she said that, Yin Mingxiu bowed deeply. Her attitude was extremely sincere and her expression was extremely serious.
Ling Ping\ 'an was stunned.
He scratched his head and remembered some legends about Xinluo that he had read on the Internet.
Xinluo had an extremely strict hierarchy.
Xinluo abided by tradition and valued morality.
The Xinluo people had a strong sense of honor and were extremely resolute.
The Xinluo people liked to get into a dead end and go to extremes...
In the past, he didn\'t think much of it, but now, he finally saw how powerful the Xinluo people were.
Listening to the words of this young girl called Yin Mingxiu, Ling Ping\ 'an was in a daze. He thought that he was some great figure, a great hero who saved the world?
But...
"I\'m clearly just a scum who is waiting to die and winning on equal footing!"
"I\'m only able to come here because of my parents\ 'legacy..."
After thinking for a while, he wasn\'t in a hurry to go down.
Because in his opinion, this Xinluo girl\'s mentality and worldview were extremely unhealthy!
Although Ling Ping\ 'an didn\'t have the problem of being a teacher.
But he couldn\'t help it.
He said to the other party, "Miss Yin, come in and talk!"
"Yes!" The etiquette of the Xinluo girl was impeccable. She picked up her skirt and walked in very respectfully.
When she entered the room, Ling Ping\ 'an realized that the girl\'s body seemed to be trembling.
It was as if being invited into this house was a great honor for her!
"Sit!" Ling Ping\ 'an said to her.
"I don\'t dare..." Yin Mingxiu lowered her head, "There\'s no place for a little girl like me in front of the young master of Shang Kingdom!"
"If I tell you to sit, then sit!" Ling Ping\ 'an was a little more domineering.
Sure enough, when Yin Mingxiu heard this, she finally sat on a chair while trembling with fear.
"Miss Yin!" Ling Ping\ 'an looked at the girl who was sitting on the chair but had needles on it and asked softly, "Who told you that I can punish you?"
Yin Mingxiu shook her head. She carefully said in a mosquito-like voice, "Young master... a hero of Shang Kingdom like you worries about the people of the world..."
"Who told you what kind of hero I am?" Ling Ping\ 'an interrupted her.
"Ah!" Yin Mingxiu raised her head in disbelief.
"I..." Ling Ping\ 'an smiled, "I\'m just an ordinary person, an ordinary person like you!"
"So, Miss Yin, you don\'t have to do this!"
Ling Ping\ 'an knew that it was very difficult to change a person.
But he still wanted to give it a try.
He patted his clothes, "Miss Yin, look, I bought these clothes at a discount in the mall. 99 for one, 199 for three!"
Yin Mingxiu looked at it carefully and then nodded. She naturally recognized this kind of clothes.
Because Xinluo Mall also had them, the price was about the same.
"So..." Ling Ping\ 'an looked at her and said, "I\'m not an elite, and I\'m not a pillar..."
"Miss Yin..."
"Do you understand?"
Yin Mingxiu nodded and bowed deeply, "I understand!"
"Young master!"
"Thank you for your teachings!"
"Hmm?" Ling Ping\ 'an looked at her even more respectful expression and was completely confused.
"I will work hard!" Yin Mingxiu bowed deeply.
Ling Ping\ 'an felt that he couldn\'t communicate at all.
"What are the brains of the Xinluo people made of?" He shook his head.
He simply stood up and said to Yin Mingxiu, "I\'m going down for breakfast. Miss Yin, please help yourself!"
In his opinion, there should only be room service once or twice a day, right?
So, he could endure it.
"Take care, young master!" Yin Mingxiu immediately stood up and respectfully watched Ling Ping\ 'an walk out of the door.
Until Ling Ping\ 'an\'s figure disappeared at the door.
Only then did she pat her bulging chest.
"The young master of Shang Kingdom indeed has his own spirit!" Her eyes were filled with stars.
As for the young master\'s words, she directly filtered them.
What was this place?
Yan Lou!
And it was the ninth floor of the Yan Lou!
Nine was the extreme number. Those who could live here were naturally true gentlemen, the pillars of the country, and the hope of the world!
And Yin Mingxiu was a member of the girl group that the Xinluo Entertainment Company had been training since she was young.
In the Xinluo Kingdom, the biggest dream of most commoner girls was to be selected into the entertainment company and be trained as a candidate for the girl group.
Because this was not only a choice to change their fate, but also the only way for them to rise!
However, within the entertainment company, everyone knew that becoming a girl group was not the best choice.
In fact, the members of the girl group were all eliminated.
The truly high-quality seedlings, like Yin Mingxiu, were all members who had been selected time and time again and completely met all the requirements.
She was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
She must also have unwavering beliefs and firm ideals.
For the sake of the Great Harmony of the world, she had the belief of risking her life.
For the sake of the happiness of the people of Xinluo, she had the ideal of risking everything.
And Yin Mingxiu was such a winner.
A winner like her would shoulder the mission of connecting the three thousand years of traditional special relationship between the Federal Empire of Xia and the Xinluo Kingdom.
And in Yin Mingxiu\'s eyes, there was no doubt.
She knew that she might be facing a sage that she could only see in books in the past.
A sage who had yet to make a name for himself, but was already known to the world.
Because he had all the characteristics of a sage.
He was in a high position, but he was willing to treat others as equals.
He had wealth, but he was still frugal and easy-going.
He had great ambitions and the world.
And Yin Mingxiu\'s mission was to serve such a person.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the Xinluo girl bloomed with endless light.
She picked up a rag and began to work.
Very meticulous, very careful, very serious, and very careful work.
Because in her eyes, she was representing the world and the people of Xinluo to serve such a talent who might ascend to the center of the stage in the future.
Therefore, her work was sacred and righteous.
After all, a hero who controlled the world couldn\'t be bothered by trivial matters.
A weak woman like her could serve such a hero on behalf of the people of the world.
It was truly an honor!
… …
Holding the plate, Ling Ping\ 'an chose a few steamed dumplings and asked for a bowl of noodles. He walked to an independent empty seat by the window and sat down.
Just as he was about to happily prepare to eat.
He heard someone behind him discussing, "Have you heard?"
"From today onwards, a group of young girls from Xinluo will appear in various buildings..."
"They will appear in the form of volunteers..."
"But..." that person laughed. His laughter was extremely wretched, "Since ancient times, Xinluo girls have a tradition..."
"Whoever can win the heart of a beauty, they will be willing to follow him until death, never leave, regardless of gains or losses..."
"What is this equivalent to?"
"It\'s equivalent to picking up a delicate beauty who doesn\'t want money..."
"Moreover, she doesn\'t want status, she won\'t make a fuss, and she won\'t have any complaints..."
Ling Ping\ 'an listened and shook his head, "Another person who brags without paying taxes!"
As long as one thought about it, one could understand that what that person said was completely false.
Because...
It was now a society where men and women were equal.
Although Xinluo was traditionally conservative, this was still the Federal Empire.
Even if it was a person from a primitive society, after staying here for a few years, he would probably know how to fight for his own power!
Not to mention an educated young girl with modern thoughts?
She didn\'t want status, didn\'t make a fuss, and didn\'t have any complaints?!
Wake up!
It was the middle of the 28th century of the Republic era!
It wasn\'t 300 years ago, nor was it 500 years ago.
If a woman didn\'t want this or that, then what did she want?
Because you were handsome?
Big tools and good work?
Hehe!
However, he heard that person muttering about popular science.
In the previous cabinet, there were a few ministers who had received the love of a Xinluo beauty when they were young.
Someone in a certain place in the Virtue Sect had received the love of a Xinluo girl. Later on, he was seriously ill, but he didn\'t leave her and stayed by his bed until he died. That Xinluo woman actually followed him in death.
Hearing this, the eyes of countless people around lit up and they were eager to try.
However, Ling Ping\ 'an buried his head in his breakfast.
That was because that person was no longer bragging, but making up a story.
Someone should hire him to take up a post!
