"Bring in the dinner and let him in." Ye Xiang said refreshingly.
He was in a good mood now and didn't care about He Lianfeng's late visit.
Yun Wu wrapped her neck tightly and glared angrily at Ye Xiang.
Ye Shang coaxed her softly and said, "I'll pay attention next time, I really will."
Yun Wu grabbed the rim of the cup and said viciously: "Next time, I will smear it all over your body and on your face to see how you behave in front of others!"
Ye Xiang felt a little guilty, so he could only coax and apologize with kind words.
When He Lianfeng came in, he saw Ye Xiang holding Yun Wu in his arms and talking softly, with a flattering expression on his usually cold face, which made him almost forget to cross the threshold when he entered and almost fell.
Is this still the Ye Pai he knows?
That regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty who disowned his relatives, was cold-blooded, and was cruel and unblinking?
The key is that he was so careful to please, but the woman in his arms still looked arrogant and turned her head to the side and ignored her.
He Lianfeng coughed lightly: "What are you doing?"
When Yun Wu saw He Lianfeng coming in, she quickly pushed Ye Shang away, but Ye Shang held her waist and held on to her waist. He raised his head and looked at He Lianfeng: "Why are you so anxious to find me?"
I didn't see this king coaxing women, why do I have so little sense?
He Lianfeng glanced at Yun Wu, who immediately said, "You guys chat, I'll go see what delicious food was cooked in the kitchen today."
Yun Wu stood up and wanted to leave, but Ye Shang pulled her back to sit down. He held Yun Wu in his arms and said with a cold face: "If you have anything to say, just tell her, there's no need to hide it from her."
He Lianfeng felt that this brother was really obsessed. Is this woman worthy of his treatment?
"Are you sure? Are you sure you want her to know about the illusion?" He Lianfeng frowned and stared at Ye Xiang with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"To be honest, there is nothing she cannot know, if you still want to cooperate with her." Ye Shang said bluntly.
He Lianfeng sat down and said, "The people in the fantasy world want to see you."
"Okay, when does he want?" Ye Xiang replied without hesitation.
He Lianfeng glanced at Yun Wu. This woman looked calm, as if she already knew about the illusion?
Ye Xiang wouldn't have even told her this. This guy was crazy. He would tell this woman everything.
He really didn't treat her as an outsider.
It seems that he has never experienced the suffering of women, and he doesn't know how much they can make people suffer.
If you don't listen to his advice, you will know the pain one day.
He Lianfeng said: "The sooner the better, some of them have come to Ling'an recently."
"Why did you contact them?"
"I came here just to look for them. It's not like you don't know that without their help, my brothers wouldn't be able to escape." He Lianfeng said without hiding anything.
Ye Xiang probably knew why he came, but he never asked.
He and He Lianfeng had a close relationship and rarely meddle in each other's affairs, but they both knew each other's ins and outs.
Their behaviors and personalities are different, but they are actually the same kind of people at heart.
Yun Wu didn't say anything. She knew that the reason why the illusion was able to control various countries and achieve restraint, balance and suppression was because they were sure to help them.
Naturally, there will be a price to pay for their help.
She was actually quite curious about what He Lianfeng would do to make a deal with them, to reassure them that he would take over Daxia.
But he and Ye Xiang were chatting, and it was hard for her to interrupt and ask.
Ye Shang curled his lips: "What do you want to exchange with them? Military power? Government power?"
He Lianfeng chuckled: "No matter how stupid I am, I will never give them military power, nor will I give them political power. I don't want to be a puppet.
That's not what they want. They just want to maintain their status in various countries and for them to live in peace. They don't want war.
I promised them not to develop their military strength and gave them control of three iron mines."
Iron ore is the most important reason for developing military strength. Weapons require iron.
Therefore, if you control the iron mines, you won't have that many weapons, and you won't be able to develop your military strength.
Without that many troops, it is impossible to fight against others.
"Have you ever thought that if you don't develop your troops and the iron ore is not in your hands, if someone comes to attack you, you will have no power to fight back."
Yun Wu couldn't help but interrupt and asked.
He Lianfeng said nonchalantly: "Every country in the entire continent is restrained by the illusion. At most, they can only rob a few border cities. It is impossible to start a war to destroy the country.
Whoever develops military strength will not sit idly by and will be besieged by other countries."
Yun Wu asked in confusion: "Have you never thought that there are uncontrolled countries? I don't believe that the illusion can control the countries on the entire continent.
And you seem to have forgotten that there are countries beyond this continent."
It is a good thing for the fantasy world to want peace, but it does not mean maintaining peace by suppressing the development of various countries.
Everyone is not developing, the people are suffering, the people are not rich, the military is not strong, and there are so many countries overseas. Now this continent has no navigation from overseas, and they don't know the situation outside.
But it is not difficult at all for people from outside to come in.
She even felt that the illusion had no way of controlling some small countries close to ancient India.
At most, the illusion can only control the countries in the Central Plains and the grasslands of the Western Regions.
If you suppress development in this way, you may not see any problems in a decade or two, but as time goes by, the problems will become very serious.
When the invasion from overseas comes, it will not be enough to fight!
Peace is possible, but you must have a sense of crisis. If peace lasts too long, people will be too comfortable and cannot face danger.
Ye Shang looked at her: "Wuwu, are there any dangers in overseas countries?"
He Lianfeng smiled: "Are you still afraid of people outside the sea? It's not like we have never been to the sea. There are no islands within a radius of 800 miles, let alone people.
If they are coming from further outside, there is no need to worry about how many troops they can carry even if they have ships."
Yun Wu sighed: "Don't think too simplistically. You are restrained from developing military strength, but overseas countries are trying their best to develop their military strength. Maybe they can attack ten thousand of you with a thousand people. How can you resist then?"
As for the ship... we can definitely build a big ship like that, and thousands of people can be transported here at will."
"How could there be such a big ship?" He Lianfeng didn't believe it.
Yun Wu picked up the brush on the table and drew a few strokes on the paper to draw a huge sailing ship.
"This ship can hold at least eight hundred people, and it can also be equipped with weapons. It's no problem at all. If there are two hundred ships, you can calculate how many troops it will have."
He Lianfeng was a little in disbelief: "The ship you drew can really travel far in the sea?"
"Okay, I can draw it. What I want to tell you is that iron ore must be controlled by yourself. Iron ore is the most direct thing that can develop military strength now.
If you want the throne, you don't have to rely on illusions. We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, can also help you.
Do you want to be controlled by illusions all the time?
You don’t want your people and your country to be rich and powerful?”
