Ananya's eyes were a little evasive.

Her current mood is very complicated. She wants to make King Zhan look bad through Concubine Da Ming Yue, but at the same time, as a Zhan person, she does not want the interests of the Kingdom of Zhan to suffer too much.

After all, she is now considered a member of the royal family of Champa, and has the same origin as the former General Luo Kai.

Luo Kai calls herself queen, and her family's life is getting better and better.

Just remembering what Concubine Yue said to her on the treasure ship, she finally chose to avoid King Zhan's gaze.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Yue. My little girl disappeared a few days ago, and I have sent people to search for her. However, it is not easy to find someone in this vast sea."

"Fortunately, my little girl's life was not meant to be taken. It happened that she met the right person, and she survived."

There are still several smart ministers around King Zhan.

An elderly minister sitting next to King Zhan said a few words in King Zhan's ear, and King Zhan stood up and bowed to Concubine Yue to thank her.

In this case, now is the best way to deal with the current situation.

Chen Muyue frowned and looked at the old minister, but she had no intention of tit-for-tat.

Instead, he immediately asked, "I heard that King Zhan followed the order of His Highness the Ming Dynasty Taisun and ceded the city of Wuli to His Highness the Grandson Yunwen as an overseas vassal state."

"I wonder how your King Zhan is preparing for Wuli City. This time when I return to Annan, I will pass by Wuli. I also want to take a look."

At the beginning, Chen Muyue actually wanted to make a fuss about Ananya's identity.

However, after thinking about it, I feel that this is not appropriate.

Anania will eventually go to the Ming Dynasty, and by then, they will be considered sisters.

Although Her Majesty the Grand Sun had no interest in it, Chen Muyue knew very well that it was impossible for the Grand Sun Concubine like Ye Yueqing to engage in intra- palace fighting.

Although I have been blessed by His Highness the Grand Sun, and the pomp this time is considered sufficient, I still know the actual situation in my heart.

It's better to talk about it here in Wuli City.

After these words came out, the expressions of all the ministers in the palace, including King Zhan, suddenly changed.

The thing they were most worried about finally came to pass.

Generally speaking, things like ceding a city will transfer the population, food, and wealth in the city in advance, and even leave some problems that are difficult to solve.

This can be regarded as a well-established practice.

Wuli City had suffered the baptism of the war with Annan before. It was originally going to be built, but it had not yet started.

Just as the Ming Dynasty's grandson's order arrived, Wuli was finally chosen.

And now Concubine Mingyue proposed to go and take a look, which was obviously to make Champa bleed.

There is no problem on Concubine Yue's side, but the Ming army following her is a big problem.

If any conflicts arise from this, the current Champa City will simply not be able to withstand it.

King Zhan obviously had no experience in dealing with this matter, and he didn't know how to answer at the moment.

The old minister was still calm and said a few words in King Zhan's ear.

Only then did King Zhan suddenly realize.

Then he replied: "It's getting a little late today, and Concubine Yue is going through a bumpy journey on the sea, so it's better to rest early."

"You can visit Wuli Country at any time. When Concubine Yue returns to Annan, I will personally accompany you."

When it came to this point, Chen Muyue naturally didn't say anything more.

What followed was singing and dancing, and the guests enjoyed themselves.

However, the real thing is of course accomplished at night.

The apse of the palace.

King Zhan paced back and forth anxiously, looking at the door from time to time.

Finally I heard footsteps coming from outside.

The door opened, and it was the old minister who had been whispering to King Zhan during the day.

"What's going on?" King Cham couldn't wait to ask in Champa dialect.

After the old minister saluted, he replied: "The appetite over there is really too big. What Concubine Yue wants is for us to return all the land we have occupied in Annan."

"Otherwise, she will take the Ming Dynasty's army to see with her own eyes the current situation of Wuli."

"Concubine Yue also said that these are His Highness the Grand Sun's personal troops, and they support His Highness the Grand Sun the most. If anything happens, it will not be under her control."

Hearing this, King Zhan was extremely angry.

But there was no countermeasure in his mind. He could only ask: "Then what should we do? Should we agree to him?"

"My father finally defeated this with great difficulty. How many soldiers were lost? Are we going to give it away now for nothing?"

When the veteran heard this, he didn't say much.

What is your father?

That's just a general trying to usurp the throne.

It's just that what he said was true, it was indeed captured by soldiers occupying the city.

At this moment, the old minister knew very clearly that King Zhan did not disagree, but that he had no way to go down.

He then persuaded, "Although those places are currently owned by me, most of the people living there are Annan people. There are frequent turmoils, and there is no tax revenue."

"Even if it is returned, it will actually remove the burden for us to occupy the city. It is not a fertile land."

"I account for the majority of people entering the sea, and most of my income comes from sea trade."

"Now that the Emperor Sun of the Ming Dynasty has gone to Wuli, it is like a natural barrier between me and Annan."

"From now on, sea trade will be popular and domestic stability will be a good opportunity for the development of our city."

After hearing these words, King Zhan's expression calmed down.

However, he did not express his position immediately, but instead showed a thoughtful look.

Youdao doesn't feel bad for being a bastard, but in fact, for King Zhan, those places don't matter much at all.

What he cares more about is his own face.

"Concubine Yue can say that if I return those places, how can she be better off with me?"

King Zhan Chaduo asked.

A trace of sigh flashed in the old minister's eyes.

When these words came out of King Zhan's mouth, they seemed extremely ungrateful.

Thinking back to Chaya back then, if he had been the king of Champa, it might be completely different from what it is now.

"What Concubine Yue means is that she can propose to King Annan that we, Zhancheng, and Annan sign a ten-year peace agreement in the presence of the Ming army."

"For ten years, there will be no war, and border affairs will be handled through negotiation. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished by the Ming Dynasty for justice."

The veteran said.

King Zhan finally heard the result he wanted most, and he said with joy in his eyes: "Okay, I will reply to Concubine Yue, and I have agreed to all these."

...

Chen Muyue's response to King Zhan has already been grasped.

After all, as the eldest princess of Annan, she is very familiar with some political compromises.

Although I have never participated in it because I am a woman, there are some things that cannot be completely avoided when you are in it.

"Xiao Qing, General Jin, are everything ready?"

Chen Muyue asked.

Xiao Qing replied: "Don't worry, Madam, General Jin has already come to report and everything is ready."

Chen Muyue nodded and said, "That means informing Cao Qianhu that I will leave for Annan tomorrow."

Xiao Qing bowed and said, "Okay, Madam."

The Cao Qianhu mentioned by Chen Muyue is Cao Bing, the eldest son of Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan.

It was one of the original five thousand households of Xuanjiawei.

He is now in charge of the Xuanjia Guard and is the one who came to protect Chen Muyue.

Naturally, the navy at Jin Kaishan would not follow Chen Muyue to Annan. Instead, after Chen Muyue arrived, they would divert to Annan Pier.

The next day, I watched Yue Fei’s bike leave.

King Zhan was relieved.

After the Ming army left, the palace returned to its previous appearance.

This meeting was extremely shocking to the king of Champa, and even to the ministers, nobles, and common people of Champa.

Although it only lasted for two short days, the mighty posture of the Ming Dynasty army will definitely affect this generation.
