Lounge of the Extraordinary Affairs Hall of the Apocalypse City

"When the door is closed... what do you think!" Pingna looked at the three people with expressionless faces and showed a bright smile. It was the first time she had the upper hand. As she inferred, the other party was also a human being and a country. She was accurately calculating each cost and benefit. This piece of information would even affect their final decision. Anyway, if it was opened for them to study, they would sooner or later know the deadline for the door to be opened. It would be better to use this information to gain some benefits for the empire. Moreover, if the other party wanted to confirm what she said, she could only follow her ideas.

"We need to confirm that your information is true." Warburg Pin calmed down in an instant. He knew the value of this information. As for the gold of the empire, it would sooner or later be the case of the committee, but it was just a matter of time. However, the time when the door was closed was always the sword of Damocles hanging on everyone's heads, a problem that made countless people worried.

"I know the consequences of deceiving you." Pingna smiled. "If I deliberately told you that the time is short, then you will use your object called a nuclear bomb to destroy the Empire as a revenge. If the time comes and the door is not closed, you can destroy the Empire. Of course, sooner or later you will find this information in the documents of the Royal Library to confirm my statement. I will tell you in advance that you can only get this information a few months or even a year earlier. I believe that this information is of great value to you."

Zhong Xinwu now wants to give Pingna a waterboard and torture her to get real information, because this information is too important to them, more important than gold, but for a diplomat who is about to sign a contract, he dare not do this even if he beats him to death.

"Xiao Wu." Hua Ping made up his mind, "to make a new agreement and write the amount of gold compensation into 25 tons. Additional terms can be exchanged for other equivalent silver, copper, iron, and wood. However, the Empire must provide the documents from its library for our research, and the two parties should communicate and study together."

Wu Xuanren looked at Guo Chong and Zhong Xinwu, and both of them nodded.

"Yes." The lieutenant hurriedly ran to the computer beside him and started working. There is Chinese input, but Imperial text can only be entered by handwriting at present.

"Also, I hope you don't support Duran, who is now the most dangerous traitor in the empire." Pingna continued.

"Please rest assured about this. Now we are friends with His Highness the Princess. If Duran dares to attack our friends, we will definitely help." Zhong Xinwu said. Princess Pingna's importance has far exceeded Duran at this time, but this does not affect their secretly selling weapons to both sides. As long as it is not disclosed, and Duran does not cross the line.

"Chief, you're ready." Wu Xuanren placed the two reprinted agreements written in Chinese and imperial texts in front of Hua Ping.

"Your Highness, see, what else needs to be supplemented?" Warburg Pin handed over the agreement.

Pingna looked through it carefully again, then nodded. She had now completely given up the idea of ​​retaining power north of the Arnus River. After all, with the strength of the other party, it can be destroyed in a few seconds. Moreover, the manpower and expenses required by the stronghold have no value. What is needed now is to reduce some losses and reduce some losses, and it is necessary to ensure that the empire has available value to China. Of course, those documents are already enough for China to work hard. They have strong power, but without the assistance of the magician, it means that they will spend more time and energy, and even need to ask for help from themselves and provide people with magic knowledge to assist in research. At that time, they can deliberately slowly and deliberately mislead the other party to delay time or ask for more.

"So, Your Highness, when is the time when the gate disappeared?" Guo Chong asked impatiently.

"General, don't be so anxious. It's rare that you have prepared such a large venue and such a grand ceremony. Why wouldn't we publish this information at the ceremony?"

"Okay, just as your highness wants." Hua Ping was very relieved. He had been waiting for this few months for a while...

The Foreign Affairs Department in half an hour

Hua Ping walked out of the door on the left and walked towards the rostrum. This side was full of leading cadres from the country and in other worlds. However, under the leadership of Wu Zuren, Pingna and her group walked towards the rostrum from the door on the right. In front of them, there were indeed a group of people dressed in imperial style, and the leader was obviously a beautiful magician with lavender hair and looking very small.

Pingna stopped and looked at the people in front of her in surprise: "Are you citizens of the empire?"

No one answered her. These people obviously understood her words, but they all showed sad eyes.

"Yes, Your Highness, the people here are indeed under the jurisdiction of the empire in terms of jurisdiction." Layla, who had a sleepy eyes, walked out of the crowd, still showing her natural expression. Behind her were two men and women wearing bodyguards in black suits.

"You are the Yunyou Magician." Pingna's heart skipped a beat. Her appearance here means that she is working for these people from other worlds. That is to say, they also have a certain understanding of magic, and they can't fool each other when they work together in the future.

"Yes, Your Highness, here is the magician Layla Seles of the Yunyou."

"Since it's a man from the empire, why help these people from other worlds?" Pingna looked at Layla with a traitor's look, her tone was tough, but the latter was unmoved.

"The Magister Yunyou has no country, Your Highness, and if you count strictly, my country should be the Liberal City-Seles City-Nation, which was annexed by the Empire five years ago."

"Sels Free City-Sels." Pingna's face changed suddenly: "Are you a member of the Lord's Sels family? Are you planning to restore the country with the help of people from other worlds?"

"Your Highness, I said that Yunyou Magi has no country, and before that, my family's branch was already the outermost part of the city-state, and I lived a poor life. What's more, as far as I know, everyone's life was pretty good after the city-state was annexed by the empire. There is no need to cause war for a long-destroyed family."

"Are they all from the Serce City State?" Pingna pointed to the people behind Layla, both men, women, young and old, but they were all looking at Layla with a not very friendly look.

"No, they are all survivors of the mountain villages in the Arnus Mountains. In order to clear these villages, the Imperial Army burned their villages, snatched their things, killed their relatives, and threw them into the mountains to wait for death. Finally, they were rescued by the alien army. Today, they were invited by the alien army as witnesses to participate in the ceremony, so please do not question their resentment, they have the right to do so."

Pingna stopped saying anything. On the other side, Hu Ping was warmly greeting her colleagues and greeting each other, while on the other side, she had to face the resentment that should belong to her people.

"Don't look at Your Highness like this. The order was not given by her." Misel wanted to stand between Pingna and the villagers, but was stopped by Pingna.

"I am the princess of the Empire, and I must bear the crimes of the Empire." Pingna pushed Misel away, strode past the crowd, and then sat down on the right side of the rostrum, keeping a stiff smile on her face.

Hua Ping also sat down on the left. Both of them held the agreement in their hands. Baihecheng, who served as the emcee, and Wu Zuren, stood in the middle of the rostrum.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, leaders and friends, the signing ceremony of the peace agreement between the People's Republic of China and the Empire has officially begun." Baihecheng said in Chinese, and then Wu Zuren translated it in imperial language again.

"From this moment, the People's Republic of China has officially ended its state of war with the Empire. May we cherish this hard-won peace and not forget the great harm this war has caused to both of us."

Listening to Wu Zuren's translation, Pingna felt like crying. She also knew that the Imperial Army invaded and killed 146 Chinese people and destroyed some property, but the price was that at least more than 600,000 of the most elite Imperial Army was wiped out. Together with the northern important town of Carlo, the holy mountain, Mount Arnus, disappeared on the empire's territory forever, so that the empire is still facing the threat from Duran but has no choice. She can't forget the eyes of the villagers just now - that means that the empire is quickly losing its people's hearts.

"Please sign both parties." Baihecheng and Wu Zuren put two agreements in front of Huaping and Pingna. After looking at each other, they immediately picked up the pen and signed their names. This was also the first time Pingna used a signature pen provided by China, rather than the kind of quill used in their empire. Then they took out their own seals. Huaping took the seal from the Another World Development Committee, while Pingna directly used her royal seal.

When the agreement was exchanged and after signing and stamping again, Hu Ping extended his hand to Ping Na, and Ping Na also reached out to hold it together, and warm applause rang out on the scene.

"The signing ceremony is over. Thank you for your visit. We have prepared some wine in the restaurant behind. Please welcome the guests."

Baihecheng put down his microphone and went down to greet people by himself.

Layla rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Lin Ling sadly: "I'm going to take me back to participate in this event in the middle of the night. I don't understand the difference between me here or not here. I'm leaving so many new episodes. I'm still waiting to see the plot of Paojie and Heizi." After saying that, he comforted the villagers with dissatisfaction and walked out of the venue.

"I said, how did you make her fall in love with the new Japanese anime? And she watched all the movies." Li Yuanxing looked at Lin Ling with a broken face. The latter also looked like she was crying without tears.

"The smog in Beijing was too serious in those days. The red warning was red. I didn't dare to go out, so I bought her a tablet. I originally planned to show her domestic TV series to train her in Chinese. She asked how to download it, so she gave her several download websites and taught her how to download it. Unexpectedly, she got tired of those domestic dramas after watching them for a few hours. So she found the new series to download it herself, and then became obsessed with it. Later, she didn't know where to find the live series to start downloading, and then she didn't go out anymore. She watched it day and night, and now she has a tendency to be a ouzi."

"You are responsible for the evil you have committed." Li Yuanxing said helplessly, "Anyway, the research on magic and the research on 'Dragon Gate' is about to begin. She is the only person in our hands who understands magic. With her participation, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort. You can first let her quit the addiction to watching new episodes and mid-range episodes, and let her devote herself to work."

...

But on the rostrum, neither Pingna nor Hua Ping left.

"Your Highness, thank you very much, but I think you should fulfill your promise." War Ping whispered.

Pingna looked at Hu Ping and then looked at the agreement. She had a strong premonition that this was not the beginning of peace, but the beginning of another chaos.

"5 years." Pingna sighed, "This is what I heard. From opening to closing, the door will be completely closed in only 5 years. If you want to open it, you have to wait 100 years later."

"Thank you for your honesty to us." Hua Ping's face changed a lot of expressions in an instant, and finally it was frozen on a diplomatic smile. "As a gift for signing the contract, we have prepared a small gift for each of you, and I hope you can accept it with a smile. Uh, you seem to be missing one person. We have prepared 8 gifts, please hand them over."

When Warriors waved his hand, eight soldiers in military dresses walked up with an exquisite gift box in both hands and stood in front of each female knight.

Looking at the exquisite gift box, almost everyone except Pingna began to shine. After more than a day of contact, they had automatically regarded things from China as some kind of artifact. No matter what it was, they must be hundreds of times better than the empire. The cardboard gift box alone was something that the empire could not make.

"Can you open it and check it out?" Misel asked the first time.

"Of course, please give me a try." Wu Zuren said on the side.

Misel carefully opened the wrapping paper with his trembling hands, for fear of breaking the beautiful wrapping paper. Then he opened the box and a Chinese sword immediately came into view.

The black scabbard is inlaid with various golden decorations, and the golden hilt is inlaid with two gems (artificial gems). The whole sword looks gorgeous, beautiful, and high-end. Misel couldn't help but scream. Other female knights also came over and opened their eyes wide and looked carefully. Even though they could see the "famous swords" of those empires in the empire, they were one level worse than this ancient Chinese sword in terms of shape.

"Let me take a look." Pingna finally couldn't withstand the temptation, so she picked up the sword belonging to Misel from the box, then pulled the sword out of the sheath with a "cang". A cold air was so loud that everyone was stunned. Moreover, Pingna could feel that this sword was much lighter than the sword they usually used.

"Okkina, pull out your sword." Pingna ordered coldly.

"Yes." A petite black-haired female knight on the side immediately pulled out the sword she carried with her.

The princess held the sword and slashed at the bronze sword in her hand.

With a "dang", the sword, known as the "famous sword" of the empire, instantly turned into two pieces, and the sword in his hand did not even have any scratches. Even when cutting off the opponent's sword, the resistance was not very large.

"What a sharp sword." Pingna couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's good that you like it. This is a sword produced by our country, forged in high-carbon steel. At present, it is sharp and strong than any weapon in your country." Wu Zuren said from the side.

"You mean, there is still such a sword?" Pingna asked urgently.

"Of course, we have as much as you want in this kind of sword, but Your Highness, the cocktail party has begun. I think it's better not to let everyone wait too long."

"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of control. Please lead the way, Mr. Wu." Pingna made up her dress and returned to her smiling expression, but she was thinking in her heart.

The powerful firepower in the other world cannot be sold to them. Even if it is sold, they cannot afford it. They cannot afford it and cannot use it. Even if they learn to use it, it is difficult to guarantee that they will explode themselves. However, these cold weapons seem to be more careless to people in the other world. If they can convince the other party to sell her these "high-carbon steel" forged weapons, then the army equipped with this weapon will be unprecedentedly powerful, enough to make up for the gap with Duran's army. After all, no warrior can remain calm when his weapons are instantly destroyed by others.

"Welcome, welcome, Your Highness, Princess." Zhong Xinwu personally welcomed Pingna at the entrance of the restaurant. "Please here, many of our leading cadres want to know you."

Pingna's thoughts were interrupted. She was now in a cocktail party full of atmosphere. The waiter next to her brought a glass of red wine. Every senior official from the other party would come up to say hello, and some even respectfully handed a rectangular piece of cardboard. They called this business card, although they couldn't understand the words on it.

There is no discrimination and humiliation against the losers, nor is there any resentment and hatred. Even Hua Ping, who had previously intrigued with her, Zhong Xinwu and Guo Chong both seemed particularly enthusiastic and gentle, as if everyone was talking and laughing like old friends, and Ping Na was a little overwhelmed for the moment.

It was not until the end of the party that most of the guests had dispersed that Warriori returned to his serious appearance.

"Your Highness Princess, I will send Lieutenant Wu Zuren to take you back to the station in the south of the city. At the same time, Lieutenant Wu will lead a liaison team to your headquarters. You will arrange the station and serve as the liaison officer of both parties. If you have any needs, even if you find him, he has the right to contact me directly. I don't know what you think."

"Yes." Pingna nodded. She didn't think Wu Zuren had the ability to monitor her on her territory. She could arrange it directly in a corner of the camp, and it was convenient to contact us. "But I am very interested in your country's swords. I don't know if we can buy these swords?"

"This is easy to say." Hua Ping smiled, "But it has been a whole day since the princess left your subordinates. Shouldn't she go back and report the agreement to your emperor first, and look at your subordinates by the way. Don't worry them. We also attach great importance to Your Highness's information here. There will be an urgent meeting to discuss this matter soon. If Your Highness buys these cold weapons, we can discuss this matter tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Okay, just do what you said. I hope we all live in peace." Pingna stretched out her hand first.

"Share peacefully." Hua Ping also stretched out his hand and held it together.

...

One hour later, the "Foreign Affairs Hall" contact center.

Most of the officials from other worlds, led by Hua Ping and Zhong Xinwu, sat in front of the big screen, and the other end of the big screen contacted Beijing directly, waiting for the central government's approval. The other side was probably also considering it carefully.

"5 years" Hua Ping repeated this sentence to himself. They didn't know whether it was true or false, but if it was true, then in addition to a complete five-year plan, there is another important question. What should we do in 5 years? Can we find a way to open the door again, or to let everyone live in another world and cut off contact with the motherland for 100 years?

"What are you afraid of? We liberated the whole of China in the past for only three years and the conditions were even worse. Now with such a strong backing, even if the door is closed, we can develop independently. However, the most important thing now is to grab the Royal Library back. If the empire can find relevant information from it and open the door, we will definitely do better than them." Zhong Xinwu reminded.

"What if this is a trap? It's more than 1,500 kilometers away, and our air support is difficult to play. The peace agreement has just been signed, and large forces cannot be sent to attack with great fanfare. Tearing up the agreement is a small matter. If they are anxious to break the library, we will be in vain." Guo Chong also said: "In the end, our only way is to fully believe in the princess and send an suicide squad to follow her to the enemy's capital to grab the entire library. If this is a trap, then our suicide squad will almost never return."

"If she dares to lie to us," Hua Ping said viciously. "We store a 1 million tons equivalent nuclear bomb at the Longshan base and a batch of poison gas bombs. At that time, she will join her empire in burial with our soldiers to see if she wants peace or nuclear peace."

"So what if the Empire doesn't agree with this agreement?"

"Then Princess Pingna is no longer a princess, but a queen."

"The video signal is coming from the central government." I don't know who said something, and the whispering people immediately stopped and stood up in unison.

The figure of China's top leader immediately appeared on the big screen opposite.

"Hello, comrades."

"Hello Chairman"

"After the central government decided that the original colonial plan remained unchanged, and it will re-design a five-year plan plan as soon as possible, and take five years to complete the occupation and construction of the other world, gradually immigrate 50 million people to transform the other world into China's refuge and new territory. Don't be afraid that the closure of the door will cut off the ties with the motherland. Our nation is a great nation that can survive with only a leaf or a sip of water and continue to reproduce. I believe that even if the contact with the motherland is interrupted, you will live and develop tenaciously in the other world. In between, the central government will withstand all domestic and international pressures to support your construction. Since Comrade Hua Ping believes in the princess of the empire, we might as well cooperate with them to obtain the information you need. I hope you will work hard to break the secrets of the door as soon as possible, and for the first step of the rise of the Chinese nation in the other world."

"For the rise of the Chinese nation in another world."

In unison, the venue responded...
Chapter completed!
