Among them, six tribes and eighty-three tribes all respect one tribe as holy, namely Gu Ya. Therefore, in Caohai, the status of Gu Ya women is very noble, perhaps even higher than that of ordinary nobles in Meng Jue. My son once heard that
Speaking of which, the current Princess Mengjue is of elegant origin, so if this elegant woman who comes here does have a reputation, she should not be underestimated."
"That's it." Emperor Wanlong's face softened slightly and he nodded.
Ling Shutong's heart moved, and she said with a sincere face: "Your Majesty, I have an unkind request."
"Lord Ling, it's okay to say so."
"Your Majesty is quite familiar with the various tribes in Caohai. I have the audacity to ask Your Majesty to come forward. Later, I will accompany Your Majesty to welcome the Caohai Mission to Yuquan Villa. Your Majesty can also first explore the reality of the Caohai Mission for Your Majesty."
.”
Emperor Wanlong was obviously moved and cast an inquiring look at Li Luo. Li Luo smiled bitterly and sighed with emotion: "I'm afraid that my familiarity is not a good thing. The Caohai tribe that I offended when I sent my army north was not
One or two, and they also messed up Luye Naga, the holy land of Guya. They were being polite by not killing me. If it was not necessary, I actually didn’t want to go to the state banquet at Wansheng Palace in the evening."
"Ah, this... ugh." Ling Shutong sighed regretfully, "It's a pity..."
Di Jie snorted dissatisfied and said: "What's the pity? The war between the two countries depends on the strength of the military and the country. If it weren't for the storm that the prince caused in Caohai, does Lord Ling think that Caohai would be so easy to negotiate a peace?"
Ling Shutong's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Li Luo hurriedly. Li Luo's expression was as usual, smiling and silent, but Emperor Wanlong had a sarcastic look on his face, probably thinking that he and Ling Shutong were together, and Di Jie scolded Ling Shu.
Tong's words made her face pale.
Di Jie was an upright person and did not notice the strange look on Emperor Wanlong's face. He looked at Li Luo and asked in a deep voice: "I have something to ask the prince."
"What?"
"There are rumors in Hushang that the prince and Meng Jue have an old relationship, and you two have already agreed on the peace. I wonder if this is true?"
Li Luo glanced at Emperor Wanlong and Ling Shutong, who were listening attentively. This matter could be big or small. If it was small, it would just be a joke, just listen to it after dinner. If it was big, if it messed up the situation, it would be a big deal.
It is the foundation and military spirit of Dagan. The soldiers sacrificed their lives to fight on the battlefield, and the commanders of the two armies even exchanged glances. What do you think of the souls who are buried in a foreign land?
"I did know about the peace talks for some time. I learned about the news about half a month before the Caohai envoy submitted the peace talks. At first, I had doubts about the Caohai peace talks and didn't know whether it was true or not, so I stayed put for the time being.
, it was not until Caohai sent people to the camp to post that I ordered people to pass the news back to Zhuocheng. I have no intention of hiding this matter. I told Wuyang about it in front of Wuyang in Huzhangzhou. "
Emperor Wanlong and Ling Shutong looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. There couldn't be any more mistakes at this juncture.
"However," Li Luo looked at Di Jie, who looked solemn, and said slowly, "What the grand master wanted to ask was not whether I had known about Caohai's plan to negotiate peace, but whether I had any peace with Meng Jue.
There is another connection."
Di Jie's eyelids twitched suddenly, he coughed slightly, and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much, and so am I..."
Li Luo raised his hand and responded with a smile: "Master Di, you don't have to be like this. You and I are well aware of the rumors inside and outside the court. Master Di also asked what should be asked. There is nothing wrong. Meng Jue sweating is a manipulator.
A master with a psychic mind and extremely difficult to deal with. The rumor came from Wangyou Valley in Huzhang Prefecture. Whether she did it intentionally or not, my excuse is not important at the moment. In the battle of Beifu, how many families were destroyed by the Caohai Allied Forces, and how many people were killed by the Caohai Allied Forces?
How many Dagan soldiers have been buried in a foreign land, but my hands are also stained with the blood of the Caohai people. Three feet of ice is not frozen in a day. The grudge between Caohai and Dagan will only remain in the end.
We will meet again in life and death."
Except for Li Luo, the three people in the hall were silent and looked sad, as if they could see the past hundreds of years of grudges between Caohai and Dagan, but no one asked what Caohai's plan was for this negotiation.
After that, everyone planned to negotiate for peace in a vague way, even Di Jie was no exception. In the eyes of this veteran, Da Gan could no longer cause trouble.
Li Luo sighed secretly and continued calmly: "So what is there in this world that requires me and Meng Jue to communicate secretly? Is it the throne of Meng Jue or the country and country of Dagan?"
Li Luo's words were a bit harsh, and he was obviously depressed. Di Jie was slightly startled. Just as he was about to speak, Emperor Wanlong shouted loudly: "Who are these people spreading gossip about Xuanlou? If you pass on the order, who dares to spread rumors?"
I will definitely kill you without mercy!"
Emperor Wanlong's voice was stern, but he couldn't hide it from Li Luo's eyes. Emperor Wanlong's eyes dodge. These words were not only circulated inside and outside Zhuocheng, but also must have reached Emperor Wanlong's pillow.
"I heard that Meng Jue is in Dagan, and Princess Wuyang is with her. I don't know when she will arrive in Zhuocheng." Ling Shutong hurriedly changed the subject.
"She won't come."
"Well, why did the prince say this?"
"If she comes, there will be no room for change in the peace talks. If she doesn't come, she can make arrangements for both advancement and retreat in the future. Meng Jue is a chess player, and she will not enter easily until the last moment."
Ling Shutong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was secretly frightened. Thinking about the peace talks in a few days, he felt a headache. It was a blessing or a disaster, but he still couldn't tell for sure at the moment.
That night, Wansheng Palace.
The banquet was a state banquet, extremely luxurious, and the wealth of the emperor's family was clearly demonstrated. The dancers in the palace sang and danced gracefully, and their red sleeves were fragrant. The Wansheng Palace under the palace lanterns was as bright as day, and the gold, silver, and jade objects set off were even more dazzling.
Emperor Wanlong sat high on the throne, because there were female relatives in the envoy from Caohai, and Concubine Yun was also with him. On the chief seat on the left was the envoy from Caohai. Li Luo looked at the roster, and it was a man named
The middle-aged man from Baoyan has a dark complexion but sharp edges. At a glance, one can think of perseverance and stubbornness. I am afraid that peace talks will not be easy.
There were four men and one woman on the same side, all visitors to Caohai. One of them, an old man named Qingjun, was an old acquaintance of Dagan, Gu Yalu Xuanji. The other three were of different looks, one was kind, one was silent, one was good at dancing with long sleeves, and they were all of the same age.
Not too old, but very familiar. Li Luo only knew their names. The kind one was called Mandu, the silent one was called Amulang, the long-sleeved one who was good at dancing was called Erdemutu, and he didn't know the rest. And the most eye-catching Caohai woman was
Sitting next to Lu Xuanji, he was tall and elegant, looking at the scene of Da Gan in Wansheng Palace with some curiosity. His clothes were simple but decent, his eyes were like blue lakes in the sea of grass, his eyebrows were like clouds, and his lips were like morning.
Xia, whose skin looks like dew, looks like a beauty from the sea of grass.
