Ye Feng looked at the woman in front of him.
The woman was dressed in an elegant phoenix gown, with an extremely beautiful face. Her every move showed her nobility, which made people feel awe.
The other person's temperament can only be developed by holding power for many years, which is incomparable to that of ordinary aristocratic families.
The queen of a country is the mother of the country.
Ye Feng had no right to even meet such a person before, but now she has become his mother-in-law, so he can't help but feel upset.
"I, Dongfang Ying, greet you, Senior."
Dongfang Ying bowed and looked at the black-haired young man cautiously with her eyes moving like rippling water.
Although Jiang Zhaoling was her illegitimate daughter, she did not dare to call herself her mother-in-law.
When marrying up, one has to consider one's own status. Besides, Dongfang Ying feels that Jiang Zhaoling is not qualified to be the senior's wife.
Maybe she was just a concubine, or even of a lower status.
...
...
In this situation, if she dared to establish a relationship with the mother-in-law, she would probably offend the senior in front of her.
"What brings you here?"
Ye Feng picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip. Jiang Zhaoling beside him filled the teapot, as if telling Dongfang Ying about the relationship between them.
Dongfang Ying saw this scene and became even more respectful and humble. "Senior, I am here on behalf of Your Majesty. I hope to form an alliance with you and share the Dagan territory with you."
Before coming, Li Qingyu gave three strategies.
The best strategy is to use Jiang Zhaoling and let her send troops to help the Dagan Kingdom contain one of the parties.
The middle strategy is to form an alliance. When the three parties of Buddha, Demon and Monster join forces, we don't ask Jiang Zhaoling to send troops, but we should not take advantage of them. We can even use the situation to intimidate the other three parties.
The worst plan is to let Dongfang Ying threaten to die, control Jiang Zhaoling's last blood relative, and make her Taoism heart tarnished.
Practicing Taoism is about cultivating the mind. Once Jiang Zhaoling's Taoism mind is clouded, it will definitely affect her ability to break through the elixir and transform into an infant.
Dongfang Ying was the first to come up with a middle-level strategy, and she no longer expected a better strategy.
Jiang Zhaoling behaved like a maid and probably did not have a high status in front of that senior.
Dongfang Ying also thought it was reasonable.
After all, the senior has great cultivation, and Jiang Zhaoling is just an illegitimate daughter, and an abandoned illegitimate daughter at that.
It is a great fortune to be a senior's maid and be cultivated by him.
This kind of immortal fate is beyond the reach of others.
"Share the world together? Just you guys?"
Ye Feng sneered, his cold eyes as if he was looking at an ant.
"Your Excellency is right. Our Great Gan Nation is indeed unworthy. Therefore, Your Majesty is willing to give up the Central Region and only hopes to leave a small area so that the country will not perish."
Dongfang Ying spoke in a pleading tone, her eyes moving frequently towards Jiang Zhaoling, hinting for her to help plead for mercy.
Jiang Zhaoling's eyes were always on Ye Feng, and he never looked at Dongfang Ying from beginning to end, as if there was no one in front of him.
Jiang Zhaoling once longed to see Dongfang Ying but it was as difficult as ascending to heaven. The number of times mother and daughter met from childhood to adulthood could be counted on one hand.
Jiang Zhaoling could remember the date, but Dongfang Ying had already forgotten it.
Dongfang Ying would spend a lot of time and energy remembering an unloved illegitimate daughter.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's not a bad idea to leave a place for Dagan Nation to cultivate itself."
A look of joy appeared on Dongfang Ying's brows, but the joy disappeared in an instant the next moment.
“But I have conditions!
First, the Dagan Kingdom becomes my vassal state and hands over its military power!
Secondly, Buddha, demons and monsters are the main forces besieging the Dagan Kingdom, and I will send Jiang Zhaoling to assist in the leadership!
Third, 80% of the treasure in the Dagan treasury must be handed over, and I will leave 20% for you. You are not allowed to keep it privately, or you will die!"
Ye Feng's voice was like a loud bell, and it almost shook Dongfang Ying's consciousness. Her face turned pale with horror, and her eyes were filled with fear.
The three conditions are too harsh.
It is not up to Dongfang Ying to make the decision at all.
If the Dagan Kingdom surrenders its military power and continues to serve as a vanguard, it will completely lose the initiative, and it is likely that all the surrendered troops will be killed or injured.
The Dagan treasure trove has been accumulated over many years, and now the other party is demanding 80% of it with just one sentence.
This is not just damaging the roots, but the tree is being torn down along with its roots.
Dongfang Ying pursed her lips for a long time but was unable to express her thoughts. She gestured to Jiang Zhaoling but received no response.
"You better think it through."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "When the Dagan Kingdom is still around, you are the mother of the country. What will happen to you if the Dagan Kingdom destroys you? Will you be given a white silk or poisoned wine?"
Dongfang Ying was shocked, her body was shaking, and her face was miserable.
Ye Feng stroked his chin and said with a smile: "Maybe neither. After all, you have already given Li Qingyu a green crown, so he won't care."
Dongfang Ying clasped her fingers tightly together inside her long sleeves, lowered her eyes and said humbly, "Senior, do you still need a maid?"
Ye Feng was stunned.
Jiang Zhaoling finally set his eyes on Dongfang Ying, but his eyes were full of coldness.
"I wish..."
"Shut up!"
Ye Feng interrupted in a cold voice, frightening Dongfang Ying so much that she fell to her knees in fear.
"I don't want to become a slave of a conquered country. I just hope that you can give me a way out."
Dongfang Ying was still unwilling to give in. She knocked her white forehead to the ground and begged in a sad voice.
Good job!
Ye Feng never expected that Dongfang Ying would ask him for help, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt it was natural.
Dongfang Ying's reputation was already bad, and it was something she could do to make a living when the Dagan Kingdom was on the verge of collapse.
Li Qingyu might have guessed this result, but he still had no choice but to send Dongfang Ying.
Otherwise, if other people came, they might not even be able to see Jiang Zhaoling.
It is really a helpless move.
The people of Dagan are now in panic, the country's fortunes have declined to the extreme, and the country's demise is irreversible.
On the other hand, Jiang Zhaoling rose against the trend and took over the western border without making any noise.
Ye Feng glanced at Jiang Zhaoling inadvertently.
Jiang Zhaoling's expression was a little complicated. Her biological mother was as humble as an ant in front of her, and as a daughter, she couldn't help but feel emotional.
Ye Feng asked Dongfang Ying to go back and wait for a few days, and asked her to pass his conditions to Li Qingyu.
As for whether Dongfang Ying stays or leaves, Ye Feng needs to ask Jiang Zhaoling.
"If you don't mind, please leave her a courtyard!"
Jiang Zhaoling's suggestion was acceptable, and Dongfang Ying was arranged to live in a quiet courtyard in Pingxi Prefecture.
Dongfang Ying was ordered not to go out without permission, just like Jiang Zhaoling was under house arrest before.
She no longer had to worry about becoming a slave of a conquered nation, but she also lost her freedom.
Dongfang Ying laughed at herself, saying that this was already the best ending for her.
As for returning to Dagan Kingdom, even if Li Qingyu could keep the territory, she, the queen, would be liquidated sooner or later.
Even if Li Qingyu didn't secretly sentence her to death for Jiang Zhaoling's sake, he would definitely not let her have an easy life.
Dongfang Ying no longer dared to hope to be the mother of a country.
Li Qingyu of the Dagan court issued edicts many times to ask Dongfang Ying to come back, but Dongfang Ying refused every time.
The furious Li Qingyu killed several important officials at the court meeting, like a demented tyrant.
"Of the five regions of East, West, South, North and Central, I can only stay in one corner. It's ridiculous that the bitch Dongfang Ying is still in detention, leaving me with one less trump card to control Jiang Zhaoling."
Li Qingyu's eyes were filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and called the envoy over.
"I will go to the Western Territory. I have agreed to the request of my seniors!"
"I obey your order!"
The envoy retreated respectfully, and Li Qingyu could no longer conceal the murderous intent on his face.
"Don't you want the Central Region? Here you go! It depends on whether you can protect the Central Region and 80% of the resources in the treasury!"
