Chapter 1314 That's a Couple
Looking at Fisher who was making a lot of noise, Zhou Xu really didn't know what to say for a moment, and in the end he could only smile and remain silent.
Fisher probably realized his own gaffe, so he coughed twice in embarrassment, then slowly spoke...
"Your Majesty, you should already be aware of the situation in our country."
Zhou Xu nodded in affirmation.
Now that things have come to this, it would be hypocritical to say that I don’t know.
After listening to this, Fisher didn't waste time and went straight to the point.
"As the current leader of the Smith Party, I hope to gain the support of His Majesty the Emperor Zhou!"
"Mr. Fisher, I have no interest in interfering in other countries' internal affairs."
In response, Zhou Xu refused without even thinking about it.
This made Fisher slightly stunned.
[Could it be that Peter, that bastard, wasn't talking to Emperor Zhou about this matter? ]
[Or is this what they were talking about, but they have already reached an agreement, so Emperor Zhou is using this excuse to fool me? ]
In a short period of time, two thoughts flashed quickly through Fisher's mind.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, but could you please tell me what you talked about with Peter?"
Normally, this question should not be asked, but this matter is too important for Fisher. If Peter pulls Da Zhou in to help him, his situation will be very dangerous.
As mentioned before, based on the strength shown by the Great Zhou at this stage, if they want to launch an attack on the Smith Republic, the Saint Laurent Empire may not even be able to rescue it in time.
Fisher, who knew this, had no choice but to speak...
"Peter doesn't have many resources. No matter what conditions Peter promised you, I can give you more!"
This move can be said to be quite quick and decisive.
The issues between the major forces, in the final analysis, are nothing more than the word "interest".
No matter what Peter talked about with Emperor Zhou, to put it bluntly, it must be related to interests, so he directly used greater interests to make the other party stand on his side.
Fisher's idea itself is correct, but unfortunately, this wave is Peter's special advantage, and Fisher really has no way to suppress it with this trick.
During this period, Zhou Xu also thought about taking advantage of the information gap and having the best of both worlds.
But considering that their Great Zhou is now gradually entering the international community, they still have to pay attention to their international image and credit.
So Zhou Xu shook his head.
"Mr. Fisher, I can only say that Mr. Peter and I discussed a business deal. The business itself has no direct relationship with the internal affairs of your Smith Republic. I am not in a position to reveal more."
Having said that, Zhou Xu raised his hand.
"Does your Excellency have anything else to discuss? If not, I'll beg you to leave."
Fisher saw this and bowed.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty. I will have someone send the thank you gift we agreed on earlier to your border later. Please accept it, Your Majesty."
Needless to say, the thank-you gift is bound to become more generous.
His cooperation with Peter will inevitably make Fisher feel a sense of crisis, and the other party will need to make some gestures of goodwill to prevent him from being biased.
Zhou Xu did not feel any guilt about this and took it with a clear conscience. After all, he had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Smith Republic.
But if Peter can really wait until their Great Zhou develops firearms, and after obtaining a sufficient number of firearms, do something against the Smith Party headed by Fisher, then it will not be his concern.
Instead of worrying about this, it is better to think about how much labor Peter can provide to exchange bullets with himself.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that Zhou Xu was not afraid at all that Peter would plant spies there.
The conditions of their Great Zhou are there. Why don't they be good citizens of the Great Zhou and become spies for Peter?
I can only say that this is a fool.
Of course, even if there really is such a fool at that time, Zhou Xu will not be afraid.
After all, he was planning to send this group of laborers to the south for large-scale development.
By then, they will have to contact Peter first.
After simply finishing things here, Zhou Xu continued to meditate. According to his current state and taking into account the overall efficiency of meditation, if he wants to fully recover to his peak state, it will probably take another ten days or half a month if he practices high-intensity meditation every day.
It's a new day, just after dawn, and the border fortress is completely busy in preparation for the celebration banquet in the evening.
Since the celebration banquet was attended by four other forces besides the Saint Laurent Empire itself, namely the Great Zhou, the Women Warriors, the Smith Republic, and the Centaur Mercenaries, the success of the celebration banquet was also related to the Saint Laurent Empire's own face project.
The internal department also attached great importance to this and made a grand ceremony.
Zhou Xu had to attend this celebration banquet without a doubt, but he didn't know what would happen at that time, so after noon, he stopped meditating and began to close his eyes to rest.
By the time the banquet was about to begin, he had already woken up and was fully rested.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time to leave. Queen Yalvette and the others are already here."
"knew."
As reinforcements, their camps were all in the same location, so they naturally traveled together at this moment, including Fisher and Peter.
At the same time, the Saint Laurent Empire also specially arranged horse-drawn carriages for them to use for transportation.
Zhou Xu didn't think much about it. He just picked the carriage closest to him and got in. Seeing this, Yalvette followed.
Yalvette Chunchun was just used to it. The horse-drawn carriages of their female warrior tribe were used to transport goods, and the female warrior tribe did not have the habit of riding in horse-drawn carriages. She had basically ridden in a carriage with Zhou Xu before, so now she had gotten used to it.
During this time, when Fisher and Peter saw Yalvette got on the carriage, they subconsciously thought about riding in the same carriage with Zhou Xu so that they could get close to him along the way.
Unexpectedly, before they got close, they saw a burly general of the Great Zhou Dynasty walk up to the carriage and pat the coachman.
"Let's go."
Seeing this, the coachman didn't think much about it. He just whipped the horse whip lightly and the carriage moved forward.
During this time, Xie Liancheng grinned at the car window and gave a thumbs-up, which made Zhou Xu, who was sitting in the carriage, roll his eyes.
Afterwards, Xie Liancheng turned around and looked at Fisher and Peter, who were standing stiffly in place not far away with slightly embarrassed expressions on their faces. He smiled and nodded at them, then turned around and called Li Ce and Xie Liancheng to get on another carriage and set off.
Could it be that Xie Liancheng didn't see them? Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan, who were standing here, knew everything. Zhou Xu and Yarvet were a couple with two children. They shared a carriage, and he and Zhou Chongshan didn't even squeeze in to join in the fun. How could there be room for you to squeeze in?
After the three of them got on the car, they quickly signaled the driver to set off.
Fisher and Peter, who were the last ones to stay, now disliked each other even more because of what happened with Zhou Xu yesterday. There was even a hint of tension between them.
But the Saint Laurent Empire could not resist and arranged three carriages, which just corresponded to the three forces here. The internal space was also sufficient, enough for all kinds of seating.
Even though Fisher and Peter were disgusted with each other at this moment, they had no choice but to accept the defeat.
