The two slowly walked forward for another ten meters. Tan Yan suddenly stopped, called Wu Qiao, and asked, "Wu Qiao, having said that, do you know how to admire others?"

Wu Qiao hesitated and said, "I also read some books." Wu Qiao has downloaded and looked through all sorts of flattering books.

Hearing this answer, Tan Yan seemed rather helpless. He approached, lowered his head, and said to Wu Qiao, "I feel a little worried."

"...What are you going to do?"

"Try it."

"……Ok?"

"Let's try it out with the two of us. Let me take a look at your results. If your performance is good, you can go directly. If it doesn't work, you will have to practice until you really know how to do it."

Wu Qiao feels that this is also okay, and he has a bottom line in the preview. Tan Yan has always been flattered, and he must know what to say and what not to say, and should be able to guide him, so Wu Qiao asked, "How to experiment?"

"Um..." Tan Yan smiled, "You treat me as the first time I met you, and treat me as the person you want to admire. No matter what I do, you will be greeted."

"Okay." Although a little embarrassed, the object is his lover, there is no need to hide in front of him, and there is nothing to tweak.

"That's it."

"Ok."

Wu Qiao got ready, took a deep breath, and said, "Hello, this is Wu Qiao."

"Tan Yan."

"You..." Wu Qiao still stammered, "You are so young, so amazing... You are already the first person in the army so young... I know all of your classic battles, it's so great..."

Tan Yan squinted his eyes, his mouth turned up and down.

Wu Qiao continued: "I have long heard that your appearance in the media is not true, but I never expected that I was so handsome."

"..." Tan Yan felt that his whole body was a little crisp, he shook his hair and told himself to be calm.

Over there, Wu Qiao continued: "Before I saw you, I always thought that perfect people exist in novels."

Tan Yan suddenly felt that once Wu Qiao lights up his skill points, his mouth can be very sweet. He asked: "Walking and chatting?"

"Good." Wu Qiao replied, "Where to go?"

"Where I am staying, shouldn't you?"

"Yeah." Wu Qiao said, "This is a good idea. Rest early."

"..." Tan Yan teased Wu Qiao deliberately, "Well, after I went back, I used communication with the person I like to say goodnight to each other and went to bed."

Wu Qiao's face turned a little red: "...Oh, you and the person you like must have a very good relationship. The kind that is particularly good is really enviable."

"Yes," Tan Yanqiang constricted his expression and nodded: "It fits very well, in all aspects."

"..." Wu Qiao felt that this topic couldn't go on. Besides, I don't know how much shame or irritability is. He opened his mouth and whispered, "No more fun."

"Ok?"

"Stop playing."

Tan Yan chuckled again: "If you don't play, don't play, you just know it in your heart."

"……Ok."

Tan Yan stretched out his hand and touched the back of Wu Qiao's head, and then turned back to the original topic: "When going to the negotiation... Be careful."

"I understand." Wu Qiao's blush gradually faded, and he returned to the state of a country's head.

...

Before going to the negotiations, Wu Qiao asked Ji Yao to take charge of all government affairs and set off with some entourage. From a personal point of view, he hoped that Ji Yao would be with him, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better for Ji Yao to stay. From the perspective of managing a country, Ji Yao is actually a very suitable candidate.

The distance to a neutral country is very short, and Wuqiao didn't feel tired when he arrived.

The president of a neutral country is named Jing Yan, and Wu Qiao likes this name very much. The names of the leaders of the Republic looked like trains, with 75 letters in total, and Wu Qiao couldn't remember them at all.

Jing Yan's appearance is similar to that on TV, there is no obvious difference, but he looks more tired. His hair is light brown, smooth and soft, he wears a pair of rimless glasses, and his pupils are also light brown. The complexion is slightly pale, but the lip color is very rosy. The whole person's temperament is quite soft, with a gentle and gentle feeling.

This is a very high spirited person who likes to listen to flattery... Wu Qiao told himself again in his heart.

"It's nice to see you." Wu Qiao knew that he was really starting to admire him facelessly. "I have long heard that Jing Yan is the contemporary hero, but I didn't have the chance to see it. This is something I feel particularly sorry for, so... As soon as I came to power, I came."

Jing Yan's eyes seemed to have changed a little, and a little bit of joy in his tone: "Are you satisfied with the food and lodging arrangements?"

"Your thoughtfulness is naturally satisfactory."

"I'll talk about formal matters tomorrow. Tonight is just a private dinner." Jing Yan said.

"it is good."

Wu Qiao took a look, and the dishes were very delicate. Jing Yan loves face very much, and what he takes out is good, even cooked by hand, not by robot. Wu Qiao was not in the mood to eat, but he still pretended to like it. In order to form an alliance tomorrow, Wu Qiao didn't want Jing Yan to be unhappy.

Because Jing Yan said not to mention business affairs, the two of them just chatted in the meeting.

Wu Qiao clearly felt that he had been in a weak position.

"What hobbies do you usually have?" Jing Yan asked.

"Um..." Wu Qiao replied, "I like reading and writing something." Wu Qiao doesn't have much hobbies. Generally speaking, he is a very boring person. In his view, people's energy is limited. If you want to be the strongest in a certain aspect, you can only devote yourself to it. There are so many smart people in the world, what ability does he have to spend a little time on his way to the top? He knew that he still had this point, and he knew that he was not the kind of genius who was rare in a thousand years. Because of this self-knowledge, he is always supplementing military knowledge.

"Oh -" Jing Yan seemed to think Wu Qiao was too ordinary, he said, "I am most attracted to classical art, painting, sculpture, music, dance, etc.-what kind of instrument or painting is Mr. Wu Qiao proficient in?"

"I..." Wu Qiao replied, "I can't. Only when I was in middle school, the school taught me how to play the piano."

"That's pretty good." Jing Yan immediately became interested. "I also invited a few famous performers to perform at the welcome dinner. Let's enjoy it together?"

"Of course it's good." Over the past century, the empire and the Republic have been fighting for years, and there has been no progress in art.

Wu Qiao didn't know what he played.

What he didn't expect was that after several performers thanked him, Jing Yan suddenly asked Wu Qiao, "Would you like to show your hand?"

Wu Qiao was taken aback.

Jing Yan said again: "That's the best violin, only here. People who know a little about music will love it."

"Forget it." Wu Qiao replied, "I am not..."

"Don't be frustrated, but it's okay to try." Jing Yan smiled.

Wu Qiao looked up. In the gleaming eyes of the other party, Wu Qiao understood that Jing Yan was deliberately humiliating himself. He let himself play music for it, knowing that he was not good at it.

Over there, Jing Yan said again: "Tomorrow is a serious occasion. Tonight is just a gathering of'friends'. The atmosphere is harmonious tonight, and tomorrow will not be embarrassing."

At this moment, Wu Qiao completely determined what the other party meant.

For a long time in the past, the empire has never seen weak and neutral countries in its eyes. In order to survive and develop, neutral countries often have to beg for alms from the empire. When giving aid to technology, equipment, money, resources, etc., the empire will always have a superior and arrogant attitude, and that attitude may even make people feel contemptuous. Nowadays, feng shui has turned around, and neutral countries have taken advantage of the war between the two great powers to take advantage of the new look. Probably, they want to retaliate. Jing Yan knew that Wu Qiao would not give up forming an alliance with him because of his qi, so he didn't worry about it. In case Wu Qiao really turned his face, he could be said to have been ill-conceived. As for Wu Qiao, he really didn't want to take risks, and really didn't dare to gamble. The alliance is too important for the country, for which he can bear it. Although he doesn't think that the neutral country has the decisive strength, the support of the neutral country is an indispensable key part in his plan. Once it is missing, it will immediately be in danger of subjugation. In a negotiation, people who suffer from gains and losses will always suffer. Wu Qiao just doesn't understand. Jing Yan and the emperor should be different. He doesn't look like a short-sighted person. But why did Jing Yan make the same mistakes as the emperor? Today’s picture is quick for a while, knowing that in the future, I will not ask others and repeat my mistakes today?

Wu Qiao calmed down and resisted his emotions.

"Okay," Wu Qiao smiled, "Then I'll give it a try."

"please."

Wu Qiao's practice is all kinds of war songs.

He didn't want to play those songs on this occasion, because it was an insult to the army. Sitting there thinking for a long time, Wu Qiao played the only depressive song he had practiced. When I practiced this song, I wanted to play it for Tan Yan, but before I could practice it, the situation in the army changed.

Wu Qiao knew that he had made many mistakes, and everyone in the audience was restrained from laughing, but they didn't really matter.

Finally, after the performance, Wu Qiao's fingers even trembled.

He finally struggled, and asked Jing Yan if he wanted to go over and try it, but was rejected without surprise.

A dinner party made Wu Qiao particularly tired.

He thought that after doing these things, the next day's negotiations would go smoothly.

The facts once again proved that he was too naive.

For fifteen days, Jing Yan did not agree to his request for an alliance. He said for a while that he could not believe the promise not to expand after the Wuqiao War, and then he said that he could not accept Wu Qiao's way of sharing the fruits of victory.

Wu Qiao felt that Jing Yan was like a cat, taking pleasure in playing with his own mouse.

On the sixteenth day, Wu Qiao was finally unwilling to continue.

He realized that patience may not be exchanged for being sincere. Sometimes, the more patience, the more he feels weak and can be bullied.

Wu Qiao refused all the activities prepared by the neutral country for him, so he slept in his residence every day and fell asleep.

After not knowing how many times he did not attend the meeting, facing the fierce question of the inviting staff, "Did you forget what you plan to do when you came to our country?" Wu Qiao just replied faintly "eat and drink" while building flowers. Lazar".

After this situation lasted for fifteen days, there were rumors that Wu Qiao was forcibly placed under house arrest by Jing Yan. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Wu Qiao has been silent.

The neutral country asked Wu Qiao to come forward and explain, Wu Qiao just pretended not to hear it.

Naturally, neutral countries cannot be strong against him. After all, Wu Qiao is a respectful guest. It's one thing to humiliate secretly, but it's another to use force on the surface.

Wu Qiao felt that Jing Yan had sent someone over to take some pictures, but Wu Qiao just lay upright and seemed to be dizzy.

When the rumors became more and more prosperous, Tan Yan began to ask the neutral country to release people immediately, otherwise, he would save the head of the new country regardless of all costs. He said that as soon as a new country was established, the head of state was put under house arrest when he traveled. This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable. It is already a major issue at the national level.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yan panicked a little.

Tan Yan went crazy to fight on the two fronts, and the neutral country didn't want to accompany him. No matter who wins or loses, it is no good. They weaken each other's strength and will only benefit the Republic. After the Republic has won the Hundred Years' War, it is very easy to swallow a neutral country that has been half-crippled by the fight.

At the same time, Ji Yao, who has always been cruel, echoed Wu Qiao and made arrangements.

He will not manage as much as Wu Qiao, all he has to do is to push Wu Qiao to a high position that no one can shake.

The empire and the Republic have been at war for more than a hundred years, and they know all about the intelligence of the Republic.

He asked people to forge a Republican headquarters at the border between the Republic and the neutral countries, and launched a lot of false information disguised as the Republic's combat plan. He deliberately allowed this information to be intercepted by the neutral country, and the content of the information was all about the republic's plan to blitz the neutral country.

With these, neutral countries really mistakenly thought that the republic would take the lead in attacking neutral countries.

Think about it, too, after Wu Qiao and Jing Yan "negotiations" for 30 days, it is normal for the Republic to want to destroy the possibility of alliances between the other two countries and avoid long nights.

Suddenly, the two big countries had the meaning of going to war against the neutral country, which Jing Yan didn't expect at all.

On the 35th day of arriving in a neutral country, someone informed Wu Qiao that Jing Yan wanted to formally negotiate with him about the alliance.
