The Queen looked angrily at Young Master Liu who became weak whenever he mentioned problems with new equipment such as Mo Dao and Heng Dao.
"You made an agreement with me at the beginning that once the border trade is opened, you can exchange everything. Why didn't I see any of the weapons and armor that you said you could have like the Mo Dao bed crossbow that I wanted?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Queen innocently and blinked a few times: "I said at the beginning that nothing should be exchanged. Everything can be exchanged. Just because you can trade doesn't mean you have to trade!"
"you"
At this time, the Queen did not know that she had been fooled by Liu Mingzhi's word game, but it was too late to regret it. Border trade was now in full swing.
The people and businessmen of the three countries were all the beneficiaries. After enjoying the delicious cake, the people of the three countries tasted the sweetness and got out of hand.
Thinking about it, even if the emperor ordered the closure of trade routes, ordinary merchants would still take risks and trade secretly.
This is a general trend, an irreversible trend.
"It turns out that in your mind, the justice of the country has always been higher than your feelings for me!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Queen calmly: "To put it bluntly, this is a matter of principle. Besides, I am just the lead envoy for border trade. As for how the border trade operates, that is not something that I, a small member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, can interfere with. This is
The affairs of the six ministers, the prime minister, the ministers, and the ministers of the nine great temples."
"So I'm not embarrassing you. I don't need the ready-made swords. I only need the forging skills. Isn't it a piece of cake for you? I'm not as easy to believe in you as I was at the beginning. You're just talking nonsense without telling the truth. What don't you know?
The situation is, Heng Dao Mo Dao and Eight Bull Crossbows are all made by you, do you have to be so stingy towards your woman?"
Looking at the empress who looked a little sad, Liu Mingzhi was heartbroken but still did not let go. The righteousness of the family and the country is the righteousness of the family and the country, and the love of children is the love of children. They can never be confused.
If the Queen was just a big dragon and an ordinary woman who liked to forge weapons, Liu Mingzhi might tell the Queen about the casting process of new equipment.
However, there is no such thing as the queen is still the queen and the king of the Kingdom of Jin.
From an objective perspective, the two of them cannot deny a fact even if they do not admit it.
That is, Liu Mingzhi and the Queen are still in a hostile relationship.
"To put it bluntly, this is a matter of principle. I hope you won't force me too much!"
The Queen pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "I know! Where do you plan to send it this time?"
"Where do you want me to be sent?"
“Let’s go to Shanhaiguan!”
"good!"
The carriage moved slowly, and the heavy snow outside the carriage was not known to be joined by the freezing wind.
There was a whistling sound, and a cold air penetrated through the curtains of the carriage, making the two of them shiver involuntarily.
The Queen patted the table beside her: "Move away, I want to lie down for a while, my waist is a little sore after sitting for a long time!"
"Can you feel comfortable lying down without a pillow? Why don't you go to the inn to rest for a while?"
"You're just for a living!"
"You don't mind if I am happy with myself!"
Liu Mingzhi moved to a place and patted his leg: "Come on, my Queen, find the most comfortable human flesh pillow in the world!"
The Queen smiled sweetly and rested her head on Liu Mingzhi's lap. She blinked at the sad stubble on Young Master Liu's chin: "Actually, it's time for you to grow a beard. Either keep it or shave it off."
Clean, it’s really ugly now that it’s not trimmed!”
"I've shaved it for a long time. I'm too lazy to shave it. Let's talk about it when we can no longer see it anymore!"
"I have met your son and your wife. Your wife is indeed a rare and stunning beauty. I don't know why I fell in love with you in the first place. It's really a waste of time!"
"Hey, I don't like to hear this. Although I am not a close friend of the handsome young man, I think he was a famous handsome young man from all over the country. The eldest daughter and daughter-in-law who came to my Liu family to propose marriage broke the threshold of my family.
I’ve married several people, but I just won’t marry you!”
The queen's jade fingers were wrapped around her green silk hair and she looked at Liu Mingzhi curiously: "Speaking of which, your Liu family is also a famous family. As the eldest son of the Liu family, how come you didn't get married until you were twenty years old?"
"In order to meet you, if I got married early and was squeezed out by my mother-in-law, how could I ride a horse and meet such an unparalleled beauty like you? Are you right?"
Don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal, and don’t be afraid of hearing sweet words of love.
No matter how noble the Queen is in front of her courtiers, she is still a woman, and her heart is as sweet as honey after listening to Young Master Liu's words.
Delightful.
Mr. Liu rolled his eyes coquettishly and said, "You're such a talkative!"
Even so, the Queen's expression at this moment showed that she was quite pleased with Liu Mingzhi's love words.
"What you said is true. Otherwise, why wouldn't I marry you?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the queen quietly and kicked the ball back, because the devil knows why his predecessor did not marry a wife and would rather stay in a brothel than go home.
"How do I know? Maybe you were too ugly and no one thought you should be more honest, so they cut you into pieces!"
"Hey, I can't help myself, I can't help myself, try to pay attention!"
"By the way, your son looks quite similar to you, especially his eyes, which are very dishonest and dishonest. He and your father are almost carved out of the same mold!"
"What does it mean to have a sly eyebrow and a rat eye? It's so bright and vivid. If you don't know how to use the idiom, don't use it randomly, okay?"
"Smelly! I don't know what your daughter looks like, but with your wife's background, I think she will be fine!"
"She is definitely a beauty who will captivate the whole country. You don't know that the little guys in my family are all made of pink and jade. Anyway, I am content with her in this life!"
"Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
"I like them all, but I like my daughter more!"
"Why? Don't Dalong's men always prefer boys over girls who can carry on the family line?"
"That's someone else. This young master likes his daughter. Anyway, if anyone dares to bully my young master's daughter in this life, even God will have to poke a hole in his face."
"When your strength is not enough to support your ambitions, just stay dormant as much as possible! You are growing too fast now, so fast that even Emperor Dalong is a little afraid. It is not a good thing for a person to be too perfect and have no shortcomings!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the Queen's deep eyes and seemed to understand something. He nodded gently: "I understand!"
The Queen changed her position and grabbed Liu Mingzhi's palm and began to squeeze it: "Perhaps Emperor Dalong is really as you said, a rare wise king. If you put it on others, he will either turn you into one of his own or eliminate you, so as not to
Leave behind trouble!"
Liu Mingzhi was shocked: "What if I put it on you Wanyan?"
"What angle do you want to look at it from?"
"Emperor's angle!"
"It's best to exclude you to avoid future troubles! Think about it carefully. Without enough strength to protect yourself, you will be like fish on the board. Sooner or later, you will be a dish on other people's tables. Never be affectionate with the royal general. The Tian family is ruthless. This
It’s advice from an emperor!”
Liu Mingzhi was speechless for a long time, holding the queen's jade hand and looking out the window at the vast snowy scene.
He didn't know that the Queen's words made the seeds planted by Qi Ya sprout slightly.
The road was blocked by heavy snow, and the carriage traveled for twenty-five consecutive days before reaching the Shanhaiguan border.
The Queen stood on the carriage shaft and pointed at a majestic and newly built building in Shanhaiguan and looked at Liu Mingzhi: "Did you see it? This is all your credit. Every day, hundreds of thousands of merchants flow through the border trade, transporting all kinds of supplies.
Yes or no!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the continuous black lines on the snow and sighed: "It would be great if there was no war. Wouldn't it be nice to live like this!"
The Queen caressed Liu Mingzhi's cheek with her jade hand and said reluctantly: "Parting is inevitable, so why do you come to meet me!"
"Parting is for reunion, take care!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Liu Mingzhi turned his horse around and looked at the Queen standing next to the carriage and waved: "Take care! Drive."
"Liu Mingzhi!"
"call"
"Don't forget your promise to me, to watch the colorful clouds side by side with me one day!"
"good!"
"Liu Mingzhi! If there is peace, will you marry me?"
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi nodded heavily: "Marry!"
The horse galloped, its hooves turning and splashing endless snow.
"Hey, hey, Xu Xu... you big fool, stop it. Do you understand what I said is marriage, not driving? Do you understand? It's marriage, marriage, marriage, do you understand! Hey, hey... Xu Xu... I already said that it's not driving.
...It’s marriage, it’s marriage!”
The Queen held her stomach while watching Feng Xing stop and then gallop and then scold Young Master Liu until she couldn't stand upright with laughter!
