When Chen Ning saw that the matter had finally come to an end, he said slowly, “Lu Xiu, although the gift you four gave was an empty box in the end, it also showed me your sincerity.”
“The treatment of your four emperors will remain the same in the future.”
“God’s Domain will regularly provide you with support in all aspects, so that your respective territories and planets will develop better.”
“It’s just that the agreement between God’s Domain and you at the beginning remains unchanged.”
“You can’t develop large spaceships, you can’t develop high-tech weapons, and you can’t expand your army.”
“These, do you have any objections?”
Lu Xiu looked at each other. Although they were reluctant to accept these conditions, they didn’t dare to act rashly until they figured out Chen Ning’s true strength.
At this time, the four of them had to bow in unison: “I am willing to surrender to the King of God, continue to abide by the agreement, and pay tribute to the Divine Realm forever!”
Chen Ning smiled and said, “Very good!”
“You all go back to the State Guest House to rest first!”
“I will hold a banquet tonight to entertain you. Please be on time for the banquet.”
Lu Xiu waited and said in unison, “Thank you God King.”
Done.
The four of them withdrew.
Chen Ning’s eyes fell on Hepburn, Dinwiddie, Moblen and others again, and ordered: “Tonight, there will be a banquet in the temple to entertain the four emperors. All of you must be present, and there must be no situation.”
Hepburn and the others said in unison: “As per your order.”
Chen Ning left the hall and returned to the office, and Hepburn followed behind.
Hepburn closed the door and sighed softly: “It’s dangerous, if I didn’t switch out of the fighting form and forcefully open the box, it is estimated that if your injury is not healed, the four emperors will find out.”
Chen Ning said softly, “Thanks to you just now.”
Hepburn glanced at Chen Ning after hearing the words, fluttered a strand of hair from his ear, and said angrily, “I am your subordinate, the food of the king, and share your worries for the king. This is my responsibility.”
Chen Ning said nothing.
In fact, he knew that Hepburn followed him, not because of any treatment at all.
It’s hard for the two of them to tell the truth about this, and to tell the truth, I’m afraid that the ruler and the ministers can’t do it, and neither can friends.
Chen Ning changed the subject: “That’s right!”
“I see that although you relieved me just now, the Four Emperors are obviously not reconciled.”
“At tonight’s banquet, I guess they will find fault, you should be careful.”
Hepburn said: “I will.”
Although Chen Ning instructed Hepburn like this, he was also thinking about it in his heart. He felt that he was lucky enough to be deceived by Hepburn today, but he might not have such good luck next time.
Or, he has to prepare himself to prevent the situation.
Hepburn suddenly whispered: “God King, I am here this time because I have a sensitive matter that I want to report to you.”
Chen Ning frowned: “What’s the matter?”
Hepburn lowered his voice and said, “After we took over the Divine Realm, although the Protoss had no choice but to surrender.”
“But according to the information we recently got from the intelligence services.”
“Many descendants of the Protoss have been operating in secret, always wanting to unite behind their backs, trying to rebel and overthrow the King of God.”
Chen Ning’s face sank.
In fact, he also knew that the Protoss had surrendered, but the hearts of the people were still not attached.
This time, I am afraid that some Protoss descendants, seeing the Four Emperors coming to make things difficult, they also want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and want to make small moves.
He took a sip of the tea on the table and asked lightly, “Who are these restless Protoss descendants?”
“Are Dinwiddie and Mobleyn involved?”
Hepburn said: “Dinwiddie is a representative of the Protoss warriors. He has been reclusive recently and is quite low-key, and he has not been found to have participated in the rebellion for the time being.”
“As for Moberron, he is a regular member and has close contact with representatives of some big families of the Protoss.”
“His best student, Horch, is planning a rebellion.”
“Whether he himself participated in it, there is no evidence for the time being.”
Chen Ning frowned: “Huo Xi!”
Hepburn said: “Yes, this guy is from the Protoss warrior family, and now he is the patriarch of the wealthy family.”
“He served as the highest sheriff in the imperial city and won the trust of Medill.”
“After we won God’s Domain, we dismissed this guy.”
“However, his old minions have frequent contact with him in private. As far as I know, he wants to use the four emperors to come here this time to conspire with the four emperors. He wants to cooperate with each other and overthrow your rule.”
