Negotiation, or transaction.

The most basic and the cornerstone of maintaining the existence of this relationship is that both parties stand on an equal relationship, rather than mutual interests that need to be exchanged... In this cruel world, blood-bathed struggles happen every day. Compared with negotiations and transactions,

, people are more accustomed to using power to plunder everything they need.

This is the original sin of human greed and cannot be redeemed.

Ritsuko was able to survive in the cracks of the royal family, and has continued this difficult existence to this day, because even if he has no power or party members, just relying on his status as a royal family is enough to become a weight in negotiations and transactions. It is true that,

This weight is powerful enough for most matters, but this time it is obviously not one of them.

Konoha to the Fire Nation, or Fire Nation to Konoha, are actually relatively independent relationships - in this era when the main battle force is determined to be ninjas, the Fire Nation needs the power of Konoha to stabilize its own rule.

, and Konoha needs a large amount of materials and money provided by the Fire Nation.

Therefore, this subtle relationship has caused the Fire Country and Konoha to always be in a two-in-one but independent state. This is why, no matter how the times change, the highest interest groups of the two always stand together...

It’s not because the two of them always stand together with a tacit understanding, but only the one who stands to the end is qualified to cooperate...

This stable and safe relationship lasted for a long time, so neither the Daimyo nor Konoha had experience in dealing with this situation for a long time...

until today

A bold young man, and a princess who has the world in mind...

This negotiation was destined to be epoch-making from the beginning...because regardless of whether Shinyu and Ritsuko's plan could succeed, or even whether the plan would be implemented, the political chasm between Konoha and the Fire Nation was destined to be filled.

flat…

Force began to interfere with politics, and politics began to infiltrate into the army...

…

In this negotiation, although Ritsuko seemed to have the upper hand, there was an unavoidable flaw for her...

time.

This is also the biggest difference between Zhenyong in Konoha and Ritsuko in Fire Nation...

Time - the time to wait.

Even if Zhenyong fails to achieve his goal this time, he can still be like Danzo back then, dormant silently, accumulating his strength in the darkness, and then wait until the day that is most suitable to explode and make a comeback... In Konoha,

As long as there is still the existence of Qianju, as long as there is still the existence of the root, Zhenyong will still have a chance to make a comeback...

However, Ritsuko is different.

The reason why he is so anxious to get in touch with Konoha is because this is Ritsuko's last chance!

Once the daimyo election is over, no matter which one of her brothers ascends the throne, all the other brothers will become the targets of purging - at that time, they will either be reduced to the playthings of the emperor, or they will simply turn into dust.

.

Ritsuko has no time to hibernate!

She must win, and she can only win...

So, if this is regarded as a transaction, what conditions can she, as a weak woman, offer in exchange for Zhenyong?

Power! Money! Status!

No, these things are indeed needed by Zhenyong, but these are just the fruits of victory... She can't give him anything now.

In the final analysis, she was just a member of the royal family who was excluded.

As a woman, she is a beautiful and beautiful woman, a peerless woman who is like a fairy descending to earth. What on earth can she give?

…

Yes, the most powerful weight is actually herself.

Take off all your clothes.

That Bai Bi-like perfect body is the bottom line she can give...

And this is also the persistence of this woman - in order to hold her destiny in her hands, she can put everything about herself on the scale of exchange.

…

"Your Highness, please put on your clothes first..." Zhenyong's voice was trembling... "How about we talk about the details?"

…

Is he a gentleman?

The goddess smiled slightly, and then slowly put on her clothes one by one as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until everything was restored that Zhenyong finally took back his wooden escape and sat back awkwardly... The beauty was still there, and the vague body fragrance was really hard to concentrate on...

This woman…

Zhenyong shook his head in his heart and smiled bitterly - this was a bit too decisive. Although his teasing just now was deliberately intended to make things difficult, he did not expect that the other party would be so direct...

"Young Master, are you doubting whether I am still innocent?" She picked up the teacup, closed her eyes and sipped gently.

"Well... of course not." Zhenyong paused. "According to His Highness's skills, I think he would disdain this." He also picked up the cup, and Zhenyong gradually recovered from the shock. "If Your Highness is willing, I believe it won't be like this."

Is it like this today?"

“…”

"Ha~ In addition, I am a relatively casual person. I feel a little uncomfortable after saying so many convoluted words today... If you can, just call me Zhenyong."

The man stretched out his right hand towards the goddess...of course it was not to take advantage...if he really had the intention, he would have done it just now.

Ritsuko was stunned for a moment, and then a happy look flashed across his face - a slender hand gently attached to Zhenyong's big hand.

"Nujia... I'm surprised, you really weren't moved just now?"

"...Tell the truth?"

The woman blinked, occasionally revealing a hint of cunningness like a little girl.

"I have a tigress with a sharp nose at home..."

"ha…"

The beautiful woman smiles, and the whole house is filled with spring.
