Chapter 205 Winner Takes All
System: [No. She aborted the child, saying, "I don't want to sacrifice any of my talent for harming my own Chen State." She burned down the Chen State palace and retired to the countryside. The fact that Chu State was able to conquer Chen State so quickly was also due to this fire.]
The Minister of Rites' pupils trembled: ...It is difficult to comment on this operation.
He silently crossed out some of the records. He didn't dare to replicate a heroine with such a personality in Xia Country.
Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Ah? If she doesn't like the Chen Kingdom, she can change the dynasty after ascending to the throne! ]
The system was silent for a moment: [Yes. ]
Yuan Ruan was silent for a while: […I can only say that I might be tired. Everyone has their own aspirations. Wait, what about the love line? Didn’t you say the male and female protagonists? Where is the male protagonist? ]
The Minister of Rites regained his spirits.
That’s right, the heroine is hard to copy, but you can try the hero!
The system once said that Daxia would be easily killed by the plot if it didn't have a male and female protagonist. So he thought, could he snatch a male and female protagonist from other countries? If that didn't work, he could create a pair according to their template, or even ten pairs to try! Maybe one day the heavens would be dazzled and give him some luck.
System: [That’s a background guy. He’s the guard who helped Envoy Liu set fire to the palace. What’s his name?]
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [Tong'er, you... remember the heroine's story so clearly, but you even forgot the hero's name? ]
The system felt a little aggrieved: [I can't help it. This male protagonist rarely appears, has an ordinary identity, and does some trivial things. I thought he was a pawn of the female protagonist before, but who knew he would be the CP who retired in the end. ]
Yuan Ruan quickly comforted her: [After all, this is a revenge story, and everyone is looking forward to when the heroine will turn the tide. If I suddenly stop writing tens of thousands of words of the heroine and the hero's sweet love, the readers' resentment will probably be heavier than a ghost. So it's normal that Tong'er didn't notice it.]
The system was immediately appeased and said: [Ah Ruan is so nice to me, I can give you some CP candies right away.]
After that, the system starts working hard to find the details of the event.
The Minister of Rites listened carefully, and after a while, he reluctantly crossed out the record of the male protagonist of Chu State. Because this man was too ordinary, his personality, experience, family background, etc., are common in Daxia.
Afterwards, the Minister of Rites carefully recorded some gossip about a certain official of the State of Chen.
At this time, another man from the opposite delegation stood up and argued that "the territory should belong to the State of Chen". The doctor from the Ministry of Rites looked up and laughed. What a coincidence! Wasn't this man the guy who had committed the "land annexation" incident in the melon just now? !
Then the Minister of Rites directly mocked the other party with the criminal fact of "land annexation".
The man from Chen Guo was so stunned that he sat back down, trembling with fear.
Yuan Ruan also noticed that Da Xia once again had the upper hand: [Tong'er, stop eating melons and let me see the might and dominance of Da Xia. ]
System: [Okay.]
The officials of the Xia State who were passionately recording gossip were reluctant to leave.
The doctor of the Ministry of Rites, who was sitting at the outermost, suddenly whispered to the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites next to him, "Sir, why don't we speed up the process and end the test?"
The Vice Minister of Rites looked at the Doctor of Rites speechlessly: My dear boy, you don't want to speed up just to eat the melon!
System: [Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that after she retired, she became the master of the female protagonist of the Chu State.]
Minister of Rites and others: !!!
According to the information revealed by the system, the State of Chu was the final winner, and the male and female protagonists of their country had the greatest reference value.
This is great. I must take note of it and try to replicate it.
Yuan Ruan: [Hmm? Don’t worry, let’s wait and see what happens in the negotiation.]
People who eat melons: ...
Ah, little imperial master, you can just eat melons and watch at the same time!
The Vice Minister of Rites and the Doctor of Rites looked at each other, and then the Vice Minister of Rites quietly handed a note to the Minister of Rites.
It said: Your Excellency, it's almost certain, how about speeding up the negotiation process?
The Minister of Rites turned around and glanced at his subordinates, but... he also wanted to eat melon.
So he nodded slightly and waved to the back.
At this time, an envoy from the State of Chen slammed the table and said, "These two cities originally belonged to our State of Chen. You have shamelessly occupied them. Now you are asking for 3 million taels of military expenses and supplies. You are simply asking for too much! You are so arrogant. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?!"
At this time, several sturdy young men walked in. Seeing such an unusual scene, the Chen State envoy also became cautious.
Yuan Ruan looked at them carefully and blinked. Wait, aren't these people officials from the Ministry of War? Why are they all wearing official uniforms from the Ministry of Rites?
The officials from the Ministry of Rites who were originally sitting there arguing with Chen Guo tacitly moved three seats aside.
The Chen State envoys looked at the newcomers in confusion.
Immediately afterwards, several burly men from the Xia Kingdom stepped forward one by one, each pulling out an envoy from the Chen Kingdom, then putting their hands on the other's shoulders and clenching their fists with a forced smile.
Then, they had the following conversation:
Xia Han: "We have already eaten the meat, and you want us to spit it out?! Bah! No way. You don't want to spend three million taels? Okay, I'll exchange it for your Chen capital."
The Chen envoy was angry: "You, how can you be so rude!"
The great man of Xia raised his fist and said, "Ha! We are just too polite. It just so happens that General Lin wants to continue his expedition to the east. Tell me, if I kill the messenger, will it give the general a chance to continue making achievements?"
The Chen envoy panicked: "...We can talk about it again, talk about it again."
The official from the Ministry of Rites smiled and said, "Of course we can talk about it. Since so many of you died, I'll give you a price for your kindness. Two million is the price you have to pay..."
The envoy from the State of Chen turned green in the face.
…
The originally gentle and elegant scene was instantly destroyed. The civil officials spoke viciously, and the military generals used insidious fists and feet, leaving the Chen State envoys helpless.
Yuan Ruan was stunned, his mouth twitching: [Ah, this... is wonderful! As expected! No matter how artistic it was before, it was all "magnanimous" in the end! ]
The system is excited: [This is what I want to see! It's exciting! But Chen Guo didn't resist even after being fucked in the face? Is he just cooperating like this? ]
Yuan Ruan looked at the Chen State delegation who dared to be angry but not to speak, and suddenly thought of what the emperor said before he sent her here.
——As a winner, you don’t have to worry about anything and you can do anything.
She sighed: [Because Xia Guoqiang has become stronger, and he is the winner. ]
The system suddenly became excited: [That's right! Ah Ruan, you will always be the winner. Awooo! ]
Yuanruan didn't quite understand why the system suddenly became excited, but he still cooperated and let out a "Woo!"
The onlookers were almost melted by the cuteness.
Several strong men smiled coquettishly, which made the officials of the State of Chen, who were being strangled by them, tremble with fear. They were forced to give up some benefits and repeatedly requested to discuss the matter again in a few days.
Seeing that the delegation was about to leave, Yuan Ruan yawned and said, "Okay, Tong'er, let's talk about why we are still involved in this story about the male and female protagonists of the Chu State. 】
