The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Gao Yanzong said in a deep voice: "The grassland has always been my focus. Although our economy is developed, Qi still lacks basic combat power. I have been trying to find a way to introduce grassland cavalry."

"But because of the difference in geographical location and the long distance, it was still impossible to complete, but even so, I never thought of coveting the entire grassland, but you did it. When I heard the news, I couldn't believe it. Shocking!"

Wang Kang didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to respond.

"You're amazing."

Gao Yanzong said: "It's just that I'm confused. With your current status, you can tell the world that the king of the grassland is comparable to the king of a country. Why are you still in the country of Zhao, acting as an envoy? It's beyond people's understanding. I think others may know the news, and they won't think you are that Wang Kang."

"Because I'm low-key!"

Wang Kang said something that made Gao Yanzong quite speechless, even Tian Jun couldn't help rolling his eyes.

If you keep a low profile, how could you make such a big commotion in Linzi in such a short time.

Wang Kang said: "Although I have become the king of the grassland, I don't want to live like a king of the grassland. It is a bit contradictory to say this, but do you understand?"

"But why do you still stay in Zhao Guo and be a minister of Zhao Guo?"

"I am from Zhao country!"

Wang Kang said as a matter of course: "There seems to be no conflict!"

"Ok."

The two looked at each other, but neither understood what Wang Kang was trying to express, nor understood.

Tian Jun asked suspiciously: "You don't seem to want others to know that you are the Prairie King?"

"Do not want to."

Wang Kang didn't make a big publicity before, and even deliberately suppressed it.

He knew that once everyone knew about it, he would never be free again.

Fortunately, the news in this era is not convenient, and the grassland is relatively independent, with little contact with the outside world...

"All right!"

Gao Yanzong was also very helpless, he really didn't understand Wang Kang's temperament.

But no matter what, he is indeed the King of the Prairie, this is an indisputable fact.

"Tell me about this covenant, what do you think?"

"pretty good."

Wang Kang has already read it in general, and Gao Yanzong is right, this is a covenant made with him alone.

The purpose is to draw the grassland into his alliance.

"It's okay if you don't want to reveal your identity. What I want is that the grassland can send troops. It can be hired, divided interests after the war, or other methods. These can be discussed."

At this moment Gao Yanzong is like a businessman.

"You should be able to see my sincerity in your covenant. Compared with those countries, I have been treated very preferentially."

Wang Kang nodded, he had to admit this, but he still shook his head and said: "Thank you for your appreciation, but I don't want the grassland to participate at the moment. To be honest, I'm not very interested in carve up Chu, and I'm not that interested. Big ambition."

"Don't talk too soon."

Gao Yanzong said: "After the Chu Kingdom is destroyed, our Qi Kingdom will become the overlord of the mainland, and you have grasslands and the backing of Zhao Kingdom, and you will reach a certain height. Have you never thought about it?"

Chapter 260 No one expected it!

Gao Yanzong's voice was calm, but Wang Kang knew that it actually had other deep meanings, more tentative.

Facing his gaze, Wang Kang calmly said: "I said I didn't, you wouldn't believe me, but I really don't have any ambitions!"

He is not a pure politician, nor is he an orthodox successor to the throne, nor is he an ambitious man, nor does he have the idea of ​​striving for hegemony in the mainland.

Wang Kang continued: "But what I'm even more curious about is that you have formed the Six-Nation Alliance by yourself, and your resources and military strength have completely surpassed that of Chu. Isn't that enough? Are you still not sure?"

"There is a difference between defeating and destroying a country."

Gao Yanzong didn't pretend, but spoke bluntly.

This shows that he regards Wang Kang as the same level. In fact, the grassland king is equal to Qi Huang in terms of status.

"The area of ​​Chu is too large, and the population is too large."

Gao Yanzong said in a low voice: "Their political system and all the conditions can form a considerable number of skirmishers when needed. Even if they are not elite, they can still slow down the pace!"

"understood."

Wang Kang knew it in his heart.

This continental hegemony is imperative, and it will be of no benefit to anyone if it is dragged on for too long.

Just like investing, if you invest too much and take too long, but you can't see the benefits, the unpredictable risk is also the biggest.

"It's not necessary now."

Wang Kang said: "If the six-nation alliance can really unite as one, I believe there will be no problem. At present, my position is Zhao Guo. Of course, I will support it as appropriate, but the grassland will not participate."

His tone was firm.

"OK then."

Gao Yanzong said: "Let's see how the war progresses."

He didn't insist on it anymore, mainly because he didn't expect Wang Kang to be very interested in it, and he didn't pretend...

"correct."

Wang Kang said: "I may still stay in Qi State for a while, but don't worry, my deputy envoy of Zhao State will convey the matters of the meeting."

"Is it because of the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce?"

"Correct!"

Wang Kang also directly admitted.

To do such a thing in Qi country, Qi Huang cannot be avoided anyway, and he also wants to know Qi Huang's clear attitude.

The Jinyu Chamber of Commerce is a private chamber of commerce. With its current status, there are advantages and disadvantages for the country.

The key is that the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce is entangled with the Qi government and has a great political background, which is more troublesome.
