"Brother Ye, I'm afraid you still don't know. Looking at the brothels in the entire Li Tang Empire, they all belong to me, King Wu. Why should I spend money on my own property?"
Looking at King Wu's nouveau riche expression, Ye Qing twitched the corners of his lips to give him some face.
"Brother Ye, I don't know about the alliance..."
"That's why I came here today. After learning about His Highness's thoughts, His Majesty came to Puzhou in person and is now in the Huayue Tower."
"That's true!"
This was probably the most surprising thing that King Wu had heard in the past few months.
"If that's the case, then what are you waiting for? Please help me, Brother Ye, to help me draw a line and discuss it carefully with His Majesty!"
"Your Highness, don't be anxious. Your Majesty will come of course, and he will not let down His Highness's kindness. But before that, I have one more thing, and I would like to ask Your Highness for help."
Ye Qing raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sly smile.
"Oh? Brother Ye, please speak!"
"Is such that..."
Ye Qing told King Wu part of the story. As for the Qin family's suspected disobedience, Ye Qing found an excuse to explain it away.
After all, this matter should not be underestimated. If it happens, the Qingfeng Empire will be in turmoil for at least two years. Who can guarantee that King Wu, who was thinking about forming an alliance one second, will not miss the point the next second?
Qingfeng Empire?
"So that's it. It's just a random accusation. It's a trivial matter."
After hearing this, King Wu waved his hands nonchalantly. Obviously, to him, this matter was not worth mentioning at all.
After saying that, Ye Qing and King Wu looked at each other and smiled, but the smiles didn't look so pure, and even a little penetrating.
"I understand, both brother and Mr. Ye are bad people?"
Upon hearing this, the laughter of the two people stopped suddenly, their faces turned red, and they coughed lightly to cover up their embarrassment.
"Yue Chan, my brother is discussing something very important with Brother Ye. You are not allowed to tell anyone. Did you hear me?"
"Master Ye and my brother are planning to do bad things, right?"
"Of course not, brother and brother Ye are here to punish the bad guys!"
After finalizing the specific details, King Wu arranged the matter vigorously and resolutely. Ye Qing naturally stopped talking and contacted Qin Mengxue.
"Your Majesty, I have contacted King Wu."
"Where is the agreed place?"
"King Wu said that he will visit Huayue Tower later to discuss the alliance."
"I understand."
It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous.
After Qin Mengxue registered, although she was busy all day with the major affairs of the Qingfeng Empire, this was her first time as the head of a country negotiating with other countries.
Fortunately, with Ye Qing present, she felt somewhat confident.
Looking at the bronze mirror and arranging it carefully, Qin Mengxue felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately there was Shi Huaiyu beside her to give some advice.
"Although King Wu is older than you, in terms of status, he is just a prince born to a noble concubine. You are His Majesty the Qingfeng Empire, so don't lose your sense of proportion."
"I know, I'm just a little nervous."
"Nervousness is fatal enough. If Your Majesty is not prepared, this meeting should be terminated here."
After all, she is the daughter-in-law of her apprentice. Shi Huaiyu is still very friendly to Qin Mengxue. If it were Qin Li here, she would not even look at him.
Although he was taught a lesson, fortunately Qin Mengxue was not a narrow-minded person, so he smiled and passed away.
After waiting for a moment, there was a knock on the door. Qin Mengxue suddenly seemed to be a different person, and her demeanor had undergone earth-shaking changes. There was no expression on her face, but she gave people a sense of oppression without anger or authority.
Seeing this, Shi Huaiyu nodded secretly.
No matter what, if you can do this, you can be considered a qualified emperor.
As the door of the room was pushed open, Ye Qing and His Highness King Wu walked into the room one after another. Compared to the undisciplined Ye Qing, King Wu's courtesy could be described as very upright.
First, he saluted as a junior and walked to Qin Mengxue with his head lowered. It was not until Qin Mengxue agreed that he slowly raised his head.
"Prince of the Li Tang Empire, King Wu Li Chengren, pays homage to the Empress of the Qingfeng Empire."
"I am here for the purpose of forming an alliance between the two countries. No need to be polite."
Qin Mengxue waved her hand and immediately gave Ye Qing a look. The latter understood instantly and said with a smile: "Your Highness, why don't you tell me what you think?"
"Yes, my king... No, I hope to become an ally with your country in my own name."
"In your name?"
This sentence is somewhat meaningful.
"That's right. Since I want to form an alliance with your country, I naturally have to show some sincerity. Today, the Li and Tang Empire is suffering from internal and external troubles. It has reached the point where it has reached the point where it is at the end of its rope. There are demonic cultivators inside to deceive Tian Ting, and there are enemy countries outside who are looking at it, hoping to turn defeat into victory.
, it’s really not easy, I need your country’s help.”
"In this case, I won't talk nonsense. Your Highness, King Wu, what conditions can you offer to form an alliance with me?"
"I am willing to spend 30 million yuan of pills, 300,000 stones of grain and grass, 50,000 fine horses, 100 tons of iron and stone, and 100 tons of cloth. I hope to marry your country!"
Hearing this, not only Ye Qing, but also Qin Mengxue felt a little surprised.
This seemingly ordinary King of Wu actually has such strong financial resources?
"Your Highness King Wu, it's not that I don't believe you, but this is not a small amount of money. How can you afford this money?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I have been doing business for many years and have accumulated a rich fortune. I can afford it."
If there are other conditions, King Wu may not be able to meet them, but as for money and food, even the treasury of the Li Tang Empire may not be as large as King Wu’s family property!
"This condition is indeed very tempting, but when it comes to marriage..."
"Your Majesty, my sister-in-law is only twenty-eight years old this year. She has a good appearance and has not yet left the government. I hope that my sister-in-law can marry His Majesty the Imperial Husband as an equal wife."
Sure enough, King Wu still didn't give up on this idea.
There was no way, if it was just a flimsy piece of covenant, it really had no weight. King Wu had to worry about whether the Qingfeng Empire would tear up the covenant and aim its spear at the Li Tang Empire.
But once they get married, with Ye Qing's status in the Qingfeng Empire, the alliance between the two countries will be as solid as a rock.
"Your Highness, are you worried that I will regret it? Although I am a woman, I also understand that Jun Wuxi said that if it is just for a so-called protection, then the marriage is really unnecessary, right?"
"It is necessary! Your Majesty, my sister-in-law Yue Chan has a kind heart and is not deeply involved in the world. I sincerely hope that she can find a good home. The interactions with Brother Ye during this period have convinced me that Brother Ye is the person worth entrusting to me.
, Your Majesty, please grant it!"
Seeing King Wu's firm attitude, although Qin Mengxue was dissatisfied, she still chose to compromise.
"Forget it, since King Wu is so fond of my sister, how can I beat the couple? This matter has been settled. After I go back, I will order the master of the Zhaixing Pavilion to find an auspicious wedding date.
