Chapter 524 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, the Zhu family of Wuzhou put down the Qingqian rebellion, the Western Territory was talking to Qi Yan, and Yuezhou defeated the Huangji Sect and conquered the Tianjian Sect for his own use. The royal family's prestige reached its peak, and it steadily overwhelmed the Huangji Sect. Zong.
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 were many princesses in Wu Zhou. In the early years, due to the strength of the Emperor Ji Sect, many Zhu family members were given the title of princess, which led to 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, and make Zhu Qiyou happy to become an uncle, will be able to achieve a smooth career and bring the whole family with him. Dazzle.
Therefore, for the sake of the family and to win the favor of the eldest princess, this money cannot be saved.
Not just flowers, but also variety. Don’t fall into the trap of being outdone by others.
Don't feel shabby, this is it, how many people want to kneel down but there is no way!
…
Lu Bei arrived a little early today. Zhu Qilan was still in the camp. The well-behaved and sensible housekeeper Yu helped the master 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 if he was boneless.
Unlike the timid Zhan Hongqu and others, 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 repeatedly ordered not to steal, Lu Bei would have been killed long ago. Already.
"It's okay, I didn'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 move, it is hard to follow him. His power is incompatible with gambling, poisoning and drinking. How can he not keep his word?
But who said that, a white horse is not a horse.
He thinks it makes sense. By analogy, imported wine is not wine. It does no harm to taste it, and it does not count as breaking one's word.
The two of them 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 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.
"Your 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 yelled loudly, then raised his eyebrows: "This person is just pretending to be aloof. We even had sex 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 past few days. Someone has offended her. Please remember to coax her and say a few more nice words."
.”
"Whoever is so bold and dares to offend her, tell me and I will show that person some shame."
"Far away in the horizon, 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 had a bad look on his face and lowered his head to correct the files. After Lu Bei entered the room, he didn't even look at him.
"Go away, 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 Leader Lu of the Tianjian Sect. If you weren't in Xuanlong to defend against the demon clan, why did you come back to Wuzhou?"
"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 butler Yu squeeze his shoulders.
Butler Yu stood obediently behind Lu Bei, with a smile on his lips, watching a 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 gave in to Lu Bei when she was forced to do so, and then nothing happened.
"My cousin already knows about my trip to Xuanlong. Tsk, the news spreads very quickly. Did the capital tell you?" Lu Bei sent a few sweet words and began to tease.
"Speaking of this, I get angry. You are messing around with women outside, and Xuanlong even 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 Ji Xin and Ji Chen, two monks who were in the tribulation period. The influence of the royal family plummeted, and it was vaguely unable to suppress the Xiantian Mansion. The situation in the territory 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 envoys from the Holy Land of the Human Race intervened, he still insisted on making Qi Yan pay the price of 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 the 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 time 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 came directly and asked Zhu Qilan for the specific discussion process, how much compensation was requested, and whether any 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, and that the current Emperor Ji had heard about the Immortal Sword Master for a long time and had admired him for a long time. He wanted to get close to the Master Lu of the Tianjian Sect.
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 Zangqianshan Mountain in Yuezhou via official channels.
Longyan is 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 dig food into Lao Zhu’s bowl, but screw you!
In this way, the beautiful and fragrant princess of the Ji family was sent back. The carriage and horses had not yet crossed the border, so they 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 Zhao Fangce, Emperor of Xuanlong.
The content of the letter was simple. It first thanked Sect Master Lu of the Tianjian 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 there are unruly monks from Chiyun Palace who sneak into Wu Zhou to cause harm, such as the evil spirits of the Three Evils, and cause diplomatic disputes, everyone will be embarrassed.
Normally, Xuanlong would be happy when he gets angry, just listen to it and 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 Tianjian Sect stepped forward, and two of the four demon kings died and one was injured. Xuanlong could definitely mobilize a group of them.
Elite soldiers and generals expanded the 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 Tianjian Sect to Xuanlong, and promised to serve as the general of Zhenbei, with a status only lower than that of the general marshal of soldiers and horses. After being politely declined,
, the two parties reached a friendly cooperative relationship, and the Tianjian Sect established a branch in Xuanlong.
For the purpose of friendly exchange of views between the two sides, special diplomat Zhao Wuyou has been stationed in Yuezhou all year round. He hopes that Wu Zhou will quickly approve a piece of land, preferably opposite Zangqian Mountain.
If Wu Zhou agrees to this request, Xuanlong will help put pressure on Wu Zhou and help Wu Zhou gain more benefits at Qi Yan's negotiation table.
The shameless Ji family had just been driven away, and the Zhao family came again to grab food. How could the retired emperors of the old Zhu family not be angry. Intimidated by the power of Xuanlong's country, they dared to be angry but dared not speak out, so they bit the bullet and agreed to the white-haired diplomat.
Entered Yuezhou.
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 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.
He only boasted about how charming the white-haired diplomat was, that she was a rare beautiful woman in the world, and that she was a well-educated and well-educated woman from 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.
Zhu Qiyou wanted to change the way of writing, asking his sister to put state affairs first and not to stick to the personal relationship between her children. If that didn't work, she would let that person out to avoid having a bad relationship with Xuanlong.
Helpless, the person around is either a father, a grandfather, or a great-great-grandfather. He is just a grandson. If he dares to write this, he will be beaten on the spot.
This is the reason why Zhu Qilan is sulking. She believes that Lu Bei will not be deceived by beauty. No matter how beautiful Xuanlong's white hair is, Lu Bei will not look at him seriously. She is just angry that Xuanlong blatantly robs her.
He was so arrogant and hateful that he even sent the beauty to Lu Bei's doorstep.
By the way, Qi Yan is not a good person either!
After Lu Bei listened, he fell into silence for a long time.
Zhu Qilan groaned and waited for Lu Bei to swear that even if Bai Mao had the beauty of a city, he would not fall in love with someone else. He didn't see any movement for a long time, but when he saw Lu Bei thinking deeply, he seemed to be quite moved, and he was furious, pinching
A piece of soft flesh on the waist was twisted hard several times.
You dead man, speak!
Lu Bei hissed and gasped, raised his head and leaned it against Butler Yu's chest, then bounced back to his original position. Facing Zhu Qilan's fierce eyes, he raised his brows and said:
"Then what? Is the beautiful princess of Qi Yan really so beautiful?"
