"It's finally done..." Wu Qiao lay on the bed and thought: Sure enough, it's useless to back down blindly.
In fact, he doesn't like the current self who is almost a rogue. He obviously came to talk about an alliance, but ended up staying in the house all day, and told the other party confidently that his mission this time was to eat, drink, and scatter.
Wu Qiao was suddenly a little worried. He was a little unsure whether Tan Yan liked this changed self. When Tan Yan fell in love with him, he was very different from now. Wu Qiao knew what he was like back then, but now he can't pretend anymore, and the way of thinking a few years ago is so old that it seems to have happened in a previous life. If you insist on looking for similarities, you will only be stubborn, which can also be equated with willfulness. He is still a person who keeps chasing what he wants. To some extent, his change is also an inevitable result.
He wanted to keep Tan Yan's favorite appearance all the time, but he couldn't, because his wisdom was not enough for him to bear the burden on his shoulders while maintaining his innocence. He can't be like the protagonists in those articles in "Interstellar Reader", who can resolve the crisis with a few words.
The next day, Wu Qiao went to negotiate with Jing Yan.
Jing Yan's attitude is obviously different from the past, this time with some sincerity. He said that neutral countries have long considered forming an alliance.
"I feel it." Wu Qiao nodded slightly. He had discovered this twenty days ago, and the purpose of using the trick was simply not to procrastinate any longer. Being humiliated and humiliated, I don't know when Jing Yan will get tired of it. The new country still needs him. If it weren't for knowing this, Ji Yao would never have thought of using the false information of the Republic's "war preparations" to defraud Jingyan—maybe there will be problems after simply deceiving people to join the war.
Hearing Wu Qiao's words, Jing Yan showed a hint of embarrassment.
In the next few days of negotiations, the two sides finalized almost all the details, including combat methods and interest commitments.
Because he knew Jing Yan was cunning, in order to avoid nights and dreams, Wu Qiao coaxed him to attack the Republic's First Space Fleet, which was equivalent to the neutral country officially declaring war on the Republic.
However, Jing Yan thought that he had seized the opportunity to act before the Republic used force against him.
So far, Wu Qiao has finally won a valuable ally.
On the last night before leaving the neutral country, Jing Yan specially arranged another performance.
Wu Qiao realized at a glance that the farewell dinner was much more grand than the welcome dinner, and his identity was obviously different.
Just... even the food is delicious.
"This flower cake..." Jing Yan explained, "It is carefully made from roses that are soaked in dew in the morning during a specific season. Only the freshest part of the petals is used, and a hundred flowers only Ten grams can be selected. There is only one person in the whole galaxy who can bake this kind of taste. I specially invited him to make a special one. You must try it. Only the climate conditions of neutral countries can grow flowers like this. Once you leave the neutral country, you will never see him again."
"Oh..." Wu Qiao took a bite, feeling that it was really sweet, and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. He had never tasted such a good sweet.
He looked at the table and found that there were two pieces left on the plate.
"..." Wu Qiao put his hand on the side of the plate, and taking advantage of the dim light in the scene, he wrapped a cake in a napkin with a "swish" and brought it under the table, then secretly put it in his formal pocket.
Jing Yan noticed that Wu Qiao was a little strange, and looked at Wu Qiao with doubtful eyes: "...?"
"What?" Wu Qiao cast a very puzzled expression. Jing Yan smiled gently, feeling that he might have made a mistake.
Wu Qiao touched his pocket, and the cake was there. Beside the cake, there was a piece of particularly delicious candy that Wu Qiao put in before the meal.
…
During Wu Qiao's absence for a month and a half, Ji Yao handled quite a few things on his behalf.
Among them, the most important thing is to clean up hundreds of rebels.
These people who lost a lot of benefits in the change of dynasty pretended to obey, but in fact they secretly joined forces with some people in the army to plan to seize power while Wu Qiao was away.
Ji Yao, who always seemed to know a lot of things, made preparations early on, and killed those people as soon as they made a move, killing the leader on the spot.
Wu Qiao heard about the mutiny when he was still in the neutral state, so the first thing he did when he came back was to ask Ji Yao about the situation.
Ji Yao spoke simply and clearly, and within a short while, everything that should be reported was finished.
The two were chatting casually, and Wu Qiao heard that Tan Yan was outside the office.
"..." Tan Yanhui came to see him, and Wu Qiao had already guessed it.
On the other side, Ji Yao made fun of him: "Are you only here for a day and then hurried back? You guys have had a hard time dating."
"... If you know it, go quickly, don't take up time and have nothing to say."
"Okay, okay, I'll go." Ji Yao got up and surrendered, "When Su Yiqing and I were together, you were always by my side, and we didn't think you were in the way."
"Ji Yao..."
"Just kidding, don't make that expression." Ji Yao raised his eyes, smiled charmingly again, opened the door gently and walked out.
"..." Wu Qiao suddenly felt that although Ji Yao had been busy and seemed to live a full life every day, he was actually lonely, and he still couldn't get used to being alone.
As soon as Tan Yan entered the door, he pulled Wu Qiao into his arms and kissed him.
"Hey..." Wu Qiao reached into his pocket and took out the cake, "This is for you..."
"Huh?" Tan Yan raised his eyebrows, "What is this?"
"The food at the dinner party last night was very, very delicious. I'll steal it out for you to try."
"..." Tan Yan asked in an unbelievable tone, "Did you steal the food at the dinner party for the heads of state of the two countries?"
"..." Wu Qiao also felt that he was quite mentally ill. However, he is always like this now. Whenever he sees beautiful scenery, hears pleasant voices, tastes delicious food, and plays interesting things, he wants to share them all with Tan Yan. He wants the other party to have access to such good things.
Tan Yan took a bite and said, "Sure enough, it's delicious and sweet."
Then, he threw it back into Wu Qiao's pocket: "Don't you like it? I'll just taste a few bites, and you take the rest."
"Yeah." Wu Qiao took out the candy again, opened it and saw that it had already melted into water, "...it melted."
"Then you let me lick the candy wrapper?"
"...you can put it on other things and eat it."
"Okay, look at you stupid." Tan Yan dipped his hand into the sugary juice, wiped it on Wu Qiao's lips, and then lowered his head to poke it.
Wu Qiao didn't dare to move, and just stood there stupidly.
Tan Yan rubbed the sugar on Wu Qiao's Adam's apple again, and reached out to lift his chin to lick it a little bit.
For Wu Qiao's status, it was very dangerous to be touched by someone else's teeth, but at this moment he could only breathe.
"By the way..." After being hugged by Tan Yan for a while, Wu Qiao stretched out his hand and pushed him away, "Why did you join forces with Ji Yao to delete my letter?"
"Ok?"
"It's my open mailbox. People from all over the country can send me letters. I checked it when I was in a neutral country. At that time, there were more than 4,000 emails. When I checked just now, there were only 1,000 emails missing, and there were only 3,000 emails left." .” Although there will be special personnel to check these emails, Wu Qiao can also read them at will. Before he went to a neutral country, he let Ji Yao take care of him temporarily. A few minutes ago he asked Ji Yao why there was less, but Ji Yao asked him to ask Tan Yan.
"It's okay," Tan Yan responded authentically, "It's all useless. Ji Yao asked me if I wanted to keep it, and I said delete it all."
"Why did Ji Yao ask you?"
"because… "
"Say." Wu Qiao became impatient.
"The letters were all little more than love letters."
"… what?"
"Almost all say that you are the most handsome leader in centuries. I don't want you to come back, so I ask Ji Yao to throw it into the trash can."
"..."
Those emperors before the empire were indeed all ugly. I don't know what's going on, but the founding emperor's gene for bulging eyes is so strong that it has been passed down to almost every one of his descendants.
