Before he could break up, he decided to endure it one more time.

However, Cheng Mu still shook his head: "Every inch of land in our Apocalypse Empire is the home of our soldiers!"

You just want to let Xiaoliuqiu go out with just a few words? Is this a bit of sincerity?

"See Qihuang."

At this time, Changsun Wuji, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly stood up. He saluted Cheng Mu and said, "Since we are brothers and allies, we should unite as one."

"If you help the Ming Dynasty conquer Xiaoliuqiu, the Emperor Ming will definitely thank you."

"The most important thing for us now is to be consistent with the outside world!"

If the two younger brothers fought, the Tang Empire would be devastated in an instant.

His eldest son, Sun Wuji, was the main mediator in this negotiation.

"It's natural."

Cheng Mu nodded. Unity, we must unite.

But since they are brothers and allies, what's the point of Zhu Di giving Xiao Liuqiu to him? Aren't they all brothers anyway?

Why are they still so divided?

Cheng Mu did not say these words face to face. But he also hoped that Changsun Wuji would understand a little bit.

Xiaoliuqiu is really too important. Unless Zhu Di can come up with a thank-you gift worth as much as Xiaoliuqiu now, he might relent.

"Qihuang."

Zhu Di used up his last trace of patience. He said: "Although our Ming Dynasty has experienced war, the hearts of the people have not changed."

"Thousands of soldiers are waiting to be reunited with their families in Xiaoliuqiu."

As his son, Zhu Di has already lost a face of Zhu Yuanzhang. If he makes any humble request now, then Ming Dynasty's backbone will really be broken.

He, Zhu Di, came here today just to see Cheng Mu's attitude for himself.

If Cheng Mu acts recklessly again, why should he be afraid of a fight?

"Qihuang."

At this time, Changsun Wuji also spoke: "You should also understand what Your Majesty means."

"Only when we are united can we be called brothers."

He was echoing Zhu Di's words. At the same time, this was also a threat.

If Cheng Mu continues to be stubborn, the two countries may no longer be brothers.

When Cheng Mu rejected Li Shimin's kindness at first, Li Shimin's heart finally changed a little bit.

If we could unite with the Ming Empire, it wouldn't actually be a big loss.

Sometimes it is not necessary to really destroy the Apocalypse Empire. It is okay to teach Cheng Mu a lesson and make this little brother more obedient.

"Haha, of course I understand."

Cheng Mu nodded. He didn't expect the two of them to fall out so quickly. Are you really not afraid that he will fall out too?

By then, it will be impossible for everyone to walk out of Beishen Palace alive!

"Since everyone is here, I won't show off."

After nodding, Cheng Mu directly stated his request: "You, Ming, bring out items equivalent to Xiaoliuqiu, which were obtained in exchange for the blood of my Apocalypse soldiers."

At first, the covenant stated that he would assist the Ming Empire in killing Liu Xiu. However, the covenant did not mention how Xiaoliuqiu was dealt with.

"Can."

Zhu Di nodded: "I, the Ming Dynasty, can give you silver taels. But that is not to redeem Xiaoliuqiu, but to pay you the military expenses of the Apocalypse Empire!"

The two words "redeeming Xiaoliuqiu" and "military expenditure" have completely different meanings.

"Can."

Cheng Mu agreed. But he still had a request: "Zheng Zhilong is mine, and you, Ming Dynasty, can't interfere!"

When Zhu Di and Changsun Wuji talked about that, he had to think carefully.

Sometimes integrity is important, but timing is also important. Maybe now is not the best time to occupy Xiaoliuqiu.

If there is no Xiaoliuqiu, let’s make up for it with Zheng Zhilong’s Shenlong Island.

"That won't work."

However, Zhu Di refused.

"Then Zheng Zhilong is already an official of my Ming Dynasty."

In terms of value, is Zheng Zhilong’s Shenlong Island worth far more than Xiaoliuqiu?

Although Xiaoliuqiu was the maritime barrier of the Ming Empire, Shenlong Island was actually a very large maritime barrier.

And within this barrier, there are countless resources that can be supplied to the Ming Empire.

Which one is lighter and which one is more important is clear at a glance.

"Emperor Ming, greed is not a good thing."

At this time, Cheng Mu's voice began to become gloomy: "Then Zheng Zhilong destroyed our Kyushu fleet, and our Tianqi Empire will definitely avenge this."
