Liu Rumeng looked at Muchuan in disbelief, her heart beating rapidly.
It turned out that I was receiving such a big shot.
Liu Rumeng did not dare to hesitate and quickly planned to kneel down.
Muchuan was naturally much faster than Liu Rumeng, and he supported her before she knelt down.
"Miss Liu, why are you doing this again?"
Muchuan smiled bitterly and said, "As I said, I am just a pawn of the envoy group."
As he said that, Muchuan unintentionally glanced at the servant kneeling in front of him.
But it felt a bit familiar inexplicably.
As his memories surged, Muchuan suddenly remembered that at today's dinner, the fat man who kept trying to toast him seemed to be the one kneeling in front of him.
Is it possible?
Muchuan couldn't help but ask Liu Rumeng, "Miss Liu, isn't this your father-in-law?"
"It's my father."
Hearing this, numerous black lines appeared on Muchuan's forehead.
Isn't this embarrassing? Your identity is exposed all at once.
Muchuan glanced at the fat man, who also had a flattering smile on his face.
"Mr. Liu, please get up." Muchuan said helplessly.
Liu Rumeng hurriedly translated.
After receiving Muchuan's instructions, Fatty Liu dared to stand up.
Fatty Liu bent down and said something respectfully, then glanced at Liu Rumeng.
Liu Rumeng nodded and translated: "Master Mu, my father boldly invites you to come to the house for a gathering."
"My father said that at the banquet today, he always wanted to toast you, but you were too busy, so you always have this regret."
Hearing this, Muchuan waved his hand and said, "Forward it to your father. It's too late. I have to go back."
After that, Muchuan was too lazy to talk nonsense and strode away directly.
No one dared to stop Muchuan.
Seeing Muchuan go away, everyone felt relieved.
Fatty Liu breathed a long sigh of relief, but he quickly said to Liu Rumeng: "Daughter, how did you get involved with Master Mu?"
After Liu Rumeng told the story of the future, Fatty Liu's eyes were already shining.
"Good daughter! This Master Mu must have fallen in love with your beauty, otherwise why would a person like him come to a shabby place like ours?" Fatty Liu analyzed with great excitement.
Hearing this, Liu Rumeng's face instantly turned red.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense. How could Lord Mu like me?"
"Hey, my daughter is so beautiful. She is the first-class beauty in the entire Baekje Kingdom. Master Mu is also a man. Isn't it normal for him to like you?"
Fatty Liu rubbed his hands and said, "Daughter, since Mr. Mu said he will definitely come next time, Daddy will promise you to Mr. Mu when the time comes."
"Master Mu must have a real wife, so you can be his concubine."
"If our Liu family can rely on such a huge tree, even the royal family will not dare to look down upon us!"
At the end of the sentence, Fatty Liu was so excited that all the fat in his body trembled.
Liu Rumeng listened on the sidelines, although she was a little dissatisfied with her father's practice of selling his daughter.
But when she thought of being able to serve Muchuan from now on, Liu Rumeng longed for it in her heart.
Early the next morning, the envoys set off.
Since the repairs were almost completed, the envoy team also worked hard on the subsequent journey, and it took only three days to arrive at the royal city of Baekje - Sixie.
In response to the news of the arrival of the envoys, officials from various places in Baekje had already traveled to the royal city overnight.
The King of Baekje had already prepared to welcome him.
As the weakest country among the Three Kingdoms, King Baekje did not dare to show any slightness.
He knew very well that if Baekje wanted to rise, it must have a good relationship with the giant Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, when Muchuan and others arrived at the gate of Sixian City, they received the highest level of welcome.
The King of Baekje came forward in person and greeted Muchuan warmly.
"Master Mu, Xiao Wang has been looking forward to it for a long time!"
Listening to others' translation, Muchuan also understood the identity of the person in front of him.
Muchuan clasped his fists and said, "Foreign Minister Muchuan pays homage to the King of Baekje."
Due to the great strength of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys did not have to bow in front of the King of Baekje.
This is one of the benefits of a strong country.
If envoys from other countries were to pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, then if they did not kneel down, they would be courting death.
"Master Mu, please come into the city quickly. Xiao Wang has already prepared the feast for the reception of the wind and the cleansing of dust."
What happened after that was a matter of course.
After Muchuan had eaten and drank well, he had nothing to do with him.
There was someone else negotiating with King Baekje, and it had nothing to do with Muchuan.
Muchuan was happy to have some leisure time, and he was not in the mood to talk official talk with these foreigners.
"Master, Master Wang is here."
Xue Rengui brought Wang Xuance.
Muchuan has certainly not forgotten the existence of Wang Xuance.
Muchuan thought about the plan originally proposed by Wang Xuance for a long time in private and felt that it was extremely feasible.
Of course, the so-called feasibility here is based on Muchuan's own judgment, regardless of Datang.
During the Tang Dynasty, private soldiers were greatly restricted.
Whether you are a civil servant or a military general, if you want to build a private army, you will basically get tired of life.
In his later years, Li Shimin wanted to purge hundreds of officials, mostly on the pretext of being private soldiers, which is evident from this.
Muchuan knew very well that there was almost no possibility that Li Shimin would arrange for him to join the army.
Because he is so rich, he may become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty in the future.
For a wealthy man like himself, Li Shimin would never let him join the army unless he was extremely stupid.
Just imagine, if Muchuan joined the army and appeased the sergeants with a large amount of money, he would quickly establish a very high prestige.
In this way, if Muchuan wants to rebel one day, I am afraid that a large number of soldiers will follow him.
After all, if you take people's money, you have to help them eliminate disasters.
Therefore, Muchuan had to consider other aspects.
Since you can't join the army, you can consider establishing a private army.
However, the location naturally cannot be placed within the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it will be exposed soon, and it will bring fatal disaster to Muchuan.
Baekje is an excellent place to raise troops.
The reason why he established a good relationship with Liu Rumeng was Muchuan's first move.
With the steam engine blueprint, Muchuan is confident that he will soon be able to build a modern sailing ship.
By then, transporting manpower and materials to Baekje will become quite easy.
As long as a war between Baekje and Silla is provoked, Muchuan can send private soldiers to break up the fight.
In order to achieve this, the quality of private soldiers must be high.
After all, even in Baekje, Muchuan did not dare to add too many private soldiers, and the number must be limited.
Since the quantity is limited, the quality must be high.
Muchuan planned to train a special force when the time came.
