Chapter 525 Imported Wine
Yizhou, Changming Mansion.
When Lu Bei climbed over the wall and was admitted to the hospital, it was still dark, and there was a hustle and bustle of cars and horses in front of Changming Mansion. Young heroes from Yizhou and even other states lined up to send money.
At this time, Wu Zhou and the Zhu family put down the Qing Qian rebellion, the Western Territory talked to Qi Yan, and the previous feats of Mountain State defeating the Extreme Monarch Sect and subduing the Heavenly Sword Sect for their own use, the royal family's prestige reached its peak, firmly overwhelming the Extreme Monarch Sect.
The power of the royal family is stable, and Emperor Zhu Qiyou's voice is much louder than before when he gives instructions in the court.
As a result, the status of the eldest princess Zhu Qilan has risen sharply.
There are many Wu Zhou princesses. In the early years, due to the strength of the Extreme Monarch Sect, many Zhu family members were granted the title of princess, which resulted in the proliferation of Zhu family princesses and the transaction value dropped again and again.
But the eldest princess Zhu Qilan is different. The current emperor Zhu Qiyou has a biological sister. Whoever can win her favor and successfully enter the Changming Mansion, making Zhu Qiyou happy to become an uncle, will be able to achieve a smooth career and bring the whole family with him. Take advantage of it.
Therefore, for the sake of the family and to win the favor of the eldest princess, this money cannot be saved.
Not only flowers, but also variety, not falling into the same stereotypes and being compared to others.
Don't feel shabby, this is it, how many people want to kneel down but still don't have a way!
…
Lu Bei came a little early today. Zhu Qilan was still in the camp. The well-behaved and sensible housekeeper Yu served the master to bathe and change clothes. He didn't pay attention and got into the water himself.
Once you come, you won’t go up.
"Master, this is the wine sent by the palace. It is said to be produced in Xuanlong. Is it delicious?" Butler Yu drank the wine by mouth. After a few glasses, he claimed that he was too drunk and lay in Lu Bei's arms as soft as a bone. .
Unlike the timid Red Song cutters, Housekeeper Yu is a proactive player. After Zhu Qilan identified Lu Bei, she did not treat herself as an outsider in front of Lu Bei. If Zhu Qilan hadn't given repeated orders not to steal food, Lu Bei would have been killed long ago. .
"It's okay, I don't taste it. How about two more drinks?"
"What a bad man!"
"Hey hey hey..."
Generally speaking, Lu Bei does not drink. He is a manly man. Once he makes a promise, it is hard to follow him. His power is incompatible with gambling, poisoning and drinking. How can he not keep his words?
But who said that, a white horse is not a horse.
He thinks it makes sense, and by analogy, imported wine is not wine, and tasting First Grade is harmless and does not count as breaking one's word.
The two drank a few cups, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. They watched the thunder from the sky stir up the fire on the ground. The dog man and woman were already hugging each other. Suddenly, they were interrupted by a cold snort. The surface of the pool was frozen, and there was a sparkle. Heartbroken.
"His Royal Highness is back."
Butler Yu bit Lu Bei's ear, dragged him out of the swimming pool, wiped away the water stains with his fingers, and changed into clean clothes.
"Come back as soon as you come back. Why are you humming? Does her throat feel uncomfortable?"
Lu Bei shouted loudly, and then raised his eyebrows: "This person is just pretending to be aloof. We even hung out together last time, but this time he's just showing off."
Butler Yu covered his mouth and snickered. After putting on his clothes, he led Lu Bei towards the study and whispered: "Your Highness has been unhappy these days. Someone has offended her. Please remember to comfort her later and say a few more words." Very obedient."
"Whoever is so bold and dares to offend her, tell me and I will give that person some color."
"Far away, yet so close."
"I understand. I have been practicing hard recently and haven't come to see my cousin for several days. She is angry with me."
"It's more than that!"
Butler Yu snickered secretly, and while talking, he came to the study room, stood behind Zhu Qilan, and gently squeezed his shoulders.
Zhu Qilan looked disgusted and lowered his head to correct the file. Lu Bei didn't even look at him after entering the room.
"Go, you rough hands and feet, you pinched His Highness so much that it hurts. Let me do it instead."
Lu Bei squeezed Butler Yu away, put his fingers on Zhu Qilan's shoulders, and squeezed a few times: "Don't be angry, I'm really too busy recently, so busy that I can't get out of my way. Look, I'm not coming back here." Well!"
Zhu Qilan snorted coldly and turned to look aside. Lu Bei suddenly realized it and kissed her on the face, breaking her defense on the spot and immediately made a big blush.
At this time, Zhu Qilan had no intention of looking through the files. He put down the red pen in his hand and said in a strange tone: "It turns out to be Sect Master Lu of Heavenly Sword Sect. You weren't in Xuanlong to defend against the Monster Race. Why did you come back to Wu Zhou?"
"I miss you!"
Lu Bei was speechless, picked up Zhu Qilan, put him on his lap, sat down on the head of the house, and let the rough-handed housekeeper Yu squeeze his shoulders.
Butler Yu stood obediently behind Lu Bei with a smile on his lips, watching the pair of enemies flirting.
Zhu Qilan sat across Lu Bei's lap. Her posture was too weak, which made her look like a small woman. She was not used to it for a while, but she did not refuse. She struggled twice to express her displeasure. She only accommodated Lu Bei when she was forced to do so, and nothing happened.
"My cousin already knows about my trip to Xuanlong. Tsk, the news spread pretty quickly. Did the capital tell you?" Lu Bei said a few sweet words and started teasing.
"Speaking of this, I get angry. You are flirting with women outside, and Xuanlong sent people to..."
Zhu Qilan was so angry that he talked about his unhappiness amidst Butler Yu's chuckles.
Wu Zhou and Qi Yan had a brief confrontation, and Qi Yan defeated two Transcending Tribulation Stage monks, Ji Xin and Ji Chen. The influence of the royal family plummeted, and it was vaguely unable to suppress the Innate Mansion. The situation in the country was turbulent.
It happened that at this time, Wu Zhou was making moves on the front line again, and he was determined to fight Qi Yan to the end. Even if the Human Race Sacred Land envoy intervened, he insisted on making Qi Yan pay the price with blood.
The atmosphere was so heightened that Qi Yan was eager to stabilize internal conflicts and had no choice but to compromise with Wu Zhou.
Compromise is used here, rather than surrender, which is important.
As a major country, Qi Yan surrendered without losing an inch of territory. It was a loss of face and people's support. It only added to the international joke and seriously damaged national interests.
Therefore, it is impossible to surrender. I would rather spend more money and sign a few agreements with Wu Zhou in private than publicly announce surrender.
To put it simply, Wu Zhou took the advantage, Qi Yan kept the face, the two parties shook hands and made peace, and they will still be good plastic brothers from now on.
You call me eldest brother, and I call you old cousin.
Wu Zhou thought it was feasible, so he went straight to the discussion. Zhu Qilan didn't know the specific negotiation process, how much compensation was requested, and whether the land was ceded.
She only knew that the imperial brother of the capital wrote to her, stating in the letter that Qi Yan had a positive attitude in admitting his mistakes at the negotiation table. The current Emperor Ji had heard about the name of the Immortal Sword Master for a long time and had admired him for a long time. He wanted to get close to the Heavenly Sword Sect Master Lu. It is best to move around frequently in the future.
To show his sincerity, he hooked up with a beautiful and fragrant princess, and only waited for the conclusion of the negotiation before sending him to Mountain State to hide in Qianshan through official channels.
Long Yan was delighted.
No, it was Long Yan who was furious.
Zhu Qiyou wanted to agree, but the clan did not agree, especially his father-in-law, retired emperor Zhu Bangchun, and former retired emperor Zhu Jingli. They turned over the table on the spot and refused the compensation.
It's so funny, Qi Yan's Ji doesn't matter, she dares to eat in the bowl of Lao Zhu's house, but screw you!
In this way, the beautiful and fragrant Princess Ji's family was sent back. The carriage and horses had not yet crossed the border, so she went directly back home.
Leaving aside the negotiations for the moment, before the old Zhu family could be proud, a team of envoys from Xuanlong entered the capital in the dust, and their leader Bai Mao handed over a letter written by Emperor Zhao Fangce of Xuanlong.
The content of the letter was simple. It first thanked Sect Master Lu of the Heavenly Sword Sect for his contribution to Xuanlong, and then explained that the situation in the northern border was critical, and reached out to Wu Zhou to ask for money and resources.
If you don't give it, the Xuanlong Zhao family will be very unhappy, and they will get angry if they are unhappy.
If some unruly monks from the Chiyun Palace sneak into Wu Zhou to wreak havoc, such as the evil spirits of the Three Evils, or some other evil deeds, and cause a diplomatic dispute, everyone will lose face.
Usually, Xuanlong gets angry and just enjoys it, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
The front line in the north was long, and Xuanlong had no time to show off his force against Wu Zhou. But it was different now, because Master Lu of the Heavenly Sword Sect stepped forward, and two of the four Great Monster kings died and one was injured. Xuanlong could definitely mobilize a group of them. Elite soldiers and generals expanded their territory to the south.
All the emperors of the Zhu family, retired and active, were all furious.
Then those who retired were even more angry, while those who were active were overjoyed.
Because Zhao Fangce changed the subject in the letter, he and Lu Bei slept together, becoming close friends and almost becoming brothers.
Although it was not completed, it did not affect the deep relationship between the two. Zhao Fangce invited Lu Bei to move the Heavenly Sword Sect to Xuanlong. He promised to serve as the general of Zhenbei, and his status was only lower than that of the military marshal. After being politely declined, , the two parties reached a friendly cooperative relationship, and Heavenly Sword Sect will establish a branch in Xuanlong.
"..."x2
Zhu Qiyou didn't say much in the letter. Every time he wrote something, it was about how powerful Lu Bei was. It was really more uncomfortable than killing him.
After Lu Bei listened, he fell into silence for a long time.
For the purpose of friendly exchange of views between the two sides, special diplomat Zhao Wuyou has been stationed in Mountain State all year round. He hopes that Wu Zhou will quickly approve a piece of land, preferably opposite Zangqian Mountain.
Zhu Qilan groaned angrily as he waited for Lu Bei to swear that even though Bai Mao looked stunning, he would never fall in love with her again. After not seeing any movement for a long time, I saw Lu Bei deep in thought, as if he was moved. He was furious, and he pinched a piece of soft flesh around his waist and twisted it hard several times.
You dead man, speak!
Just after driving away the shameless Ji family, the Zhao family came again and grabbed food. How could the retired emperors of the old Zhu family not be angry. Intimidated by Xuanlong's national power, he dared to be angry but dared not speak out, so he bit the bullet and agreed to the white-haired diplomats stationed in Mountain State.
If Wu Zhou agrees to this request, Xuanlong will help put pressure on Wu Zhou to gain more benefits at Qi Yan's negotiation table.
"Then what, is the beautiful and fragrant princess of Qi Yan really so beautiful?"
By the way, Qi Yan is not a good thing either!
Lu Bei hissed and gasped. He raised his head and leaned it against Butler Yu's chest. He bounced back to his original position. Facing Zhu Qilan's fierce eyes, he raised his brows and said:
(End of chapter)
According to the process, the land will be approved next year, the official residence will be built the year after that, and it will be demolished the year after that.
Zhu Qiyou wanted to write it in a different way, asking his sister to put state affairs first and not to stick to the personal relationship between her children. If it didn't work, he would let that person out to avoid having a bad relationship with Xuanlong.
Helpless, the person around him is either his father, grandfather, or great-grandfather. He is just a grandson. If he dares to write this, he will be beaten on the spot.
He only boasted about how charming the white-haired diplomat was, that she was one of the rare beautiful women in the world, and that she was a well-educated and well-educated daughter of a well-known family. If it wasn't for Xuanlong's national conditions, she would at least be a princess.
Let Zhu Qilan take good care of him, and don't let Xuan Long get what he wants.
This is why Zhu Qilan is sulking. She believes that Lu Bei will not be fooled by beauty. No matter how beautiful Xuanlong's white hair is, Lu Bei will not look at him seriously. She just couldn't get angry. Xuanlong blatantly stole her heart and even sent the beauty to Lu Bei's door. He was really arrogant and hateful.
