Sophie looked at An Rui's firm eyes, lowered her head after a few seconds, and sighed: "I'm already back, how could I leave again. In fact I've come back to find you more than once before, and I've even helped you fight. Let¡¯s have a battle.¡± ¡°Have you come back before?¡± An Rui doesn¡¯t remember Shafei coming back. Sophie talked about some things that she had not mentioned at the dinner table just now. She did come back to Anrui several times, but every time she looked at him from afar. Once, the Sun Never Sets Empire sent a large army to attack Red Diamond Island, and Anrui and the Overlord Chamber of Commerce were in danger. After she learned the news, she rushed to Red Diamond Island. During the battle between the two sides, she masked herself and joined the melee, killing many of the empire's navy. After the war, she did not show up, but chose to leave. After listening to Shafei¡¯s story, Anrui was deeply moved, which meant that Shafei would never forget him, otherwise she would not have come back so many times. Although the two are separated, they actually care about each other. An Rui hugged Shafei, put his fingers into the brown hair, and rubbed it twice. Sophie also hugged Anrui tightly, buried her head in that solid and powerful chest, and gently closed her eyes, feeling the long-awaited tenderness. "After I left you, I always hoped that I could change back to my other self so that I could be with you, but my hope never came true" Sophie's eyes were moist, and her voice changed. It became a cry. An Rui seized the opportunity, gently pushed Shafei away, and reached out to wipe the corners of Shafei's eyes. Looking at the back of his hand, the only remaining curse mark gradually faded away. Then the number "4" also disappeared! A beep sounded, reminding him that the curse has been completely lifted! "Haha, the curse on my hand is gone!" An Rui said with great joy. He originally thought that he would have to tell Sophie about this to make her cry. Unexpectedly, Sophie cried early. "Curse? What curse?" Sophie blinked her tears, confused. Anrui then told the truth about the curse, and Shafei suddenly realized it. "You, you said those words just now, didn't you mean to trick me into crying?" Sophie asked nervously. "What are you thinking about? How could I deceive you into crying? What I just said was all from the bottom of my heart, not a single lie." An Rui vowed. Sophie nodded and believed Anrui. With Sophie¡¯s last tear, Anrui successfully lifted the curse. Removed a big stone weighing on my heart. The two parties just talked to each other sincerely, and they have restored their previous relationship. As the saying goes, a little separation is better than a new marriage. The two of them are in the same mood as young lovers who are passionately in love, one is like dry wood and the other is like a burning fire. Firewood and fire are destined to be combined without shame. An Rui stayed and spent the night here. ?¡ ?Three days later. morning. An Rui is wearing a brand new royal robe. Standing on a high platform in the castle, many senior officials stood beside him, including two women, Alice and Sophie. The two women standing together at the same time said it all. Sophie has now become Anri's public lover, even with Alice's permission. "It's a pity that all parts of the world in Qihai adhere to monogamy and oppose polygamy. Even if Anrui likes Shafi, it is impossible to give her a formal status. Fortunately, Sophie doesn't care much about this. Be able to accept this identity. These three people form a triangular family. Under the high platform, stood a solemn army. The soldiers in the army had bright helmets, piercing eyes, and neat spears in their hands. The aura they exuded was integrated into the sky. Today, Anrui will personally lead a team out to negotiate with the stubborn tribal chiefs for the last time. If these chiefs still refused to surrender, he would use war to conquer these tribes. The New World must completely become the territory of the Nova Empire, and not even a blank space can be left. From the bottom of his heart, Anrui still hopes to achieve his goal without bloodshed, and the second is to launch a war. When it comes to solving problems for a country, winning without fighting is the best policy, while winning by force is the worst policy. "Very good, you guys come with me! Before sunset today, I will draw the entire continent onto the map of the Nova Empire!" An Rui looked at the tiger and wolf divisions below and shouted loudly. "Long live the Nova Empire! Long live His Majesty Anrui!" "Long live the Nova Empire! Long live His Majesty Anrui!" The soldiers below raised their spears high, and for a while, the forest of guns towered, and the silver light was dazzling. They chanted the same slogans, their voices full of masculinity. Quasimodo opened a portal, through which you can reach the negotiation location. An Rui turned around.He said goodbye to everyone, especially taking one more look at his wife and lover, then jumped down and led the mighty army into the portal. The other end of the portal is an empty valley. In the middle of the valley is a high platform similar to an altar. The high platform is made of wood. There are many wooden pillars on the corners, and there are simple and rough carvings on the pillars. Across the valley were several groups of indigenous men and horses, each wearing animal skins and feathers on their heads. Just the clothes they wore gave people a very backward feeling. The three chiefs stood in front of their team, all with serious expressions and sullen faces. When they saw An Rui leading a large army, these chiefs and indigenous warriors immediately started chattering without knowing what they were talking about. An Rui shook his head. He really didn't understand why these natives refused to surrender. They were too stubborn. The platform in front is the place for negotiation. An Rui raised his hand and ordered the army to wait here. He walked over alone. In fact, this army has only one purpose, and that is to show off, not to fight. He is a dignified king, and everything he does must be done with pomp and ceremony, because he represents the dignity of the entire country, so he must bring more people over. It is impossible to come alone, it is too shabby. The three chiefs also walked to the platform and climbed up step by step. Anrui and the three chiefs stood face to face. There were no chairs around them. This negotiation was destined to be conducted while standing. He mastered some local dialects, but not very well. He simply used the ability of the Heart Whisper Necklace to communicate with the three chiefs with his consciousness. This treasure from the Dragon Cemetery has finally come in handy. "Three chiefs, I am here to persuade you to surrender. I hope you can surrender to the Nova Empire. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well after surrendering. The tribes that surrendered before are a lesson learned from the past. They are all living well now." An Rui mouthed Without moving, the voice reached the minds of the three chiefs. The three chiefs were frightened by the sudden sound, and Anrui could only explain. After understanding the voice in his mind, a chief said: "We don't want to surrender. Your country is an evil country. Your army is the devil's army. We will not surrender to you!" "Evil? Devil?" An Rui thought this statement was funny, but he didn't laugh. Instead, he was a little angry, "Only those tribes that resisted thought we were devils. Those tribes that didn't resist, I didn't hurt them at all. And no matter whether they surrendered voluntarily The tribes who were forced to surrender are all doing very well now. You should really take a look at their tribes. They are very different from before. " "I have seen their tribes. Their tribes have already changed. They can no longer be called tribes, they have completely lost their former appearance. They built tall houses with stones, wore bright clothes, and ate strange food on the table" "This change is not true. "Is that good?" "Change is sometimes not a good thing." Another chief interrupted midway, with an extremely serious expression, "We prefer our current life and don't like change. We like our current thatched cottages and animal skin clothes." , I like to eat corn and sweet potatoes. This is my tradition, something passed down from generation to generation. You are really too barbaric, forcing us to make changes that we don¡¯t want, so we may not like it. In our eyes, you are evil devils. "An Rui listened carefully to the chief's voice, which represents the public opinion of the three tribes who are determined to fight to the death. The chief¡¯s voice reminded him of a saying: He is not a fish, how can he know the joy of fish? These natives actually like their current life very much. Anrui thinks it is backward, but the natives think it is tradition. What he thinks is good may not be liked by the natives, so these natives have always refused to surrender. Anrui finally figured out what the natives were thinking, but it was impossible to give up the pace of territorial expansion because of this. At most, he could only choose a compromise method to solve the problem. "You must surrender. You have no choice. But I can give you a chance to maintain the status quo. After you surrender, you can continue to live in your original tribe and live your original life. My people will not interfere with you, nor will I won't force you to do anything. If you have any requests, I can try to satisfy you. The only thing you have to do is surrender and admit that this choice is beneficial to both of us. The empire will become the real owner of this land because of your surrender, and you will also save your current life and the lives of the tribal people." An Rui took a deep breath and changed the negotiation plan. This plan meets the needs of these three tribes to the greatest extent and gives these three tribes the opportunity to continue their traditions without being destroyed ¡°If these three tribes still don¡¯t agree, then they are asking for death. The three chiefs exchanged opinions, discussed for a while, and finally reached a consensus and bowed their heads to Anrui. "If you will not interfere with our lives, we are willing to surrender to you!" From this moment on, the New World ushered in unity, which also means that the expansion goals of the Nova Empire will shift externally and aim at more distant places. Country and power!
