Chapter 78 Ten billion per year? Isn't this taking advantage of others' misfortune?
The distraught Ji Shengyue suddenly raised her head and glanced sharply at the door, a trace of disbelief flashing in her eyes.
Looking at the secretary standing at the door, he asked: "You...say it again, who wants to see you?"
The secretary felt the tension and surprise in Ji Shengyue's tone and immediately Replied: "Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, it is an envoy sent by the Lighthouse Empire.
We have carefully tested the identity of this envoy and confirmed that it is undoubtedly sent by the Lighthouse Empire.
But when When we asked the other party about the purpose of his arrival, he claimed that only Her Majesty the Queen was qualified to know, and we had no right to ask.”
At this point, there was a trace of contemptuous anger on the secretary’s face, but. Then it was quickly suppressed.
Facing the envoy from the Lighthouse Empire, he had to suppress his anger.
After all, the Lighthouse Empire is now the unparalleled overlord on Blue Star. Even the Great View Empire is The country also had to bow its head.
“Let them in.”
Ji Shengyue quickly organized the urgent documents on the table and carefully covered them with a mat, for fear that the messenger from the Lighthouse Empire would discover the current embarrassing situation of the Dajing Empire
This meeting will affect the Dajing Empire The future must be dealt with carefully.
After a while, several blond and blue-eyed men walked in from outside the office.
They are of different ages, the youngest is only in his early twenties,
The oldest is close to forty years old.
The team was led by a forty-year-old middle-aged man with a light stubble on his face and a proud light in his eyes.
"Your Majesty the Queen of the Great Scenery Empire."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said in fluent Imperial dialect: "The people who believe in me have already introduced my identity to you.
I am an envoy from the Lighthouse Empire, and I am also a strong man in the imperial realm."
While telling his identity, there was an unconcealable tone in his tone. A sense of superiority.
Even though she was facing Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Scenery Empire, she did not take it seriously at all.
This attitude made Ji Shengyue feel a flash of displeasure,
But she also knew that the current Lighthouse Empire was powerful and she could not offend easily.
Ji Shengyue suppressed her displeasure and tried to remain calm and asked: "I wonder what the envoy is doing here this time?"
She hoped to find out something from the other party. Useful information to fight for a glimmer of life for the Great View Empire.
The blond and blue-eyed middle-aged man looked at Ji Shengyue with a smile on his face.
His keen eyes captured the faint dark circles and slightly pale complexion on her face. There was some sympathy in the tone: "Your Majesty the Queen, my name is Robert.
The senior leaders of our Lighthouse Empire have been paying attention to the situation of the Dajing Empire and are aware of your embarrassment and predicament at the moment.
< br>Presumably, you have not slept peacefully for many days."
Ji Shengyue frowned slightly. She knew Robert's intention, but at this moment she hoped to hear the substantive content: "Mr. Robert. , if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly.”
There was a bit of coldness in her voice, but it also revealed a hint of helplessness.
Robert nodded, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "Our senior leaders of the Lighthouse Empire really can't bear to see the beautiful Dajing Empire now reduced to a battlefield where evil spirits are raging, and Xiao Cangqing is also the one who Disgusting guys are wreaking havoc.
Therefore, we are willing to lend a helping hand to help the Dajing Empire tide over the difficulties."
"We, the Lighthouse Empire, will send elite troops to the Dajing Empire. Establish a warrior base on the land and carry out comprehensive security tasks.
In this way, the Dajing Empire will be strongly protected from the intrusion of evil spirits and Xiao Cangqing. ”
Robert continued to describe their plan as if it was a done deal.
Ji Shengyue couldn't help but feel something in her heart. She knew this was a rare opportunity.
If the Lighthouse Empire can really act according to the plan, then the Great View Empire may be able to get out of the current predicament.
However, she also knew that the Lighthouse Empire would never lend a helping hand for no reason, they must have their own purpose.
“So, what do you need?”
Ji Shengyue finally asked this key question.
Robert smiled slightly and said: "Her Majesty the Queen is really smart. Of course our Lighthouse Empire also has its own considerations.
But please don't worry, we are not coveting the Great View Empire. We sincerely hope to help you overcome this difficulty.”
According to our investigation, Xiao Cangqing, who is encroaching on the territory of the Dajing Empire, is a powerful emperor. However, he still possesses strange power within his body.
Even a pure human emperor might not be able to defeat him easily.
As for your Dajing Empire, apart from Chu He, who has already left, it seems that there is no second emperor-level powerhouse who can stand up and compete with it. ”
A complex emotion surged in Ji Shengyue’s heart.
Of course she knew the meaning of Robert’s words,
The Lighthouse Empire is willing to provide protection, but it also needs The Dajing Empire paid the corresponding price
At this moment, she had no choice: "Then, please tell me your specific conditions."
Robert's eyes flashed with shrewd light, and he spoke leisurely: "We will send strong enough warriors to protect Dajing Empire will also build a warrior base on this land.
Of course, this requires a lot of investment.
However, our Lighthouse Empire has always dealt fairly, Dajing. The empire only needs to pay us 10 billion per year."
Hearing this, Ji Shengyue frowned and said with anger: "10 billion per year?"
She felt extremely annoyed in her heart, as if she was being treated like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Robert seems to have anticipated Ji Shengyue's reaction, and is not impatient: "Your Majesty, please calm down.
You have to know that the Dajing Empire is now in a state of turmoil. If If you don't agree to our conditions, I'm afraid it will be completely controlled by Xiao Cangqing soon.
By then, let alone 10 billion, I'm afraid I won't even get a penny. "
Although his tone was calm, every word pierced Ji Shengyue's heart like a needle.
Ji Shengyue took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in her heart.
She understood that what Robert said was true, but she could not accept such harsh conditions. "Do you have any other conditions?"
Robert nodded and waved his hand to the secretary to hand over the contract: "The other conditions are all in this contract.
If Her Majesty the Queen If you agree, we will sign the contract immediately.
Once the contract takes effect, our Lighthouse Empire will dispatch a world-renowned warrior force in a short time to protect the safety of the Great View Empire. "
His words. It reveals unquestionable confidence.
Ji Shengyue took the contract and read the terms above carefully.
Discovered that the terms were far more harsh than she had imagined.
In addition to the 10 billion paid annually, the Lighthouse Empire also requires the freedom to choose areas to establish warrior bases in the Great Scenery Empire without the approval of the senior management and relevant departments of the Great Scenery Empire.
What’s even more outrageous is that they can also directly recruit local resources.
These terms are undoubtedly a serious violation of the sovereignty of the Dajing Empire.
Just when Ji Shengyue was hesitant, she received an urgent message on her personal mobile phone.
The news shows that Xiao Cangqing has just captured another city from the Great Scenery Empire.
This news made Ji Shengyue's heart sink suddenly.
She realized that if she did not make a decision, the Great Scenery Empire would completely fall into a situation beyond recovery.
Thinking of this, Ji Shengyue no longer hesitated.
Picked up the black signature pen, signed his name on the contract, and solemnly stamped the royal seal of the Dajing Empire.
This decision may cause controversy and dissatisfaction,
but she knows better that this is a choice that has to be made for the future of the Great View Empire.
