Northern Liang borrowed the Dao Kunyu Kingdom to send betrothal gifts, and the Northern Wei Dynasty borrowed the Dao Kunyu Kingdom to send Princess Wuwei to marry. When the Northern Wei Dynasty conquered the Northern Liang and returned to Pingcheng with countless belongings from the Northern Liang, they borrowed the Dao Kunyu Kingdom. Three times, Ning Yan made the capital It provided them with safety guarantee in Kunyu Kingdom.
Although the Northern Wei Dynasty also sent some gold, silver and jewelry to the Kun Yu Kingdom after defeating the Northern Liang Dynasty, when the entire cart and the cart's belongings left in front of him, Xun really wanted to hold those carts and not let them go.
Ning Fang stood next to Hyun, saw her eyes glowing green, and smiled:
"When did Mr. Zhuo become greedy for money?"
Hyun wiped the drool that was about to drip out:
"If so much money is invested in Kunyu Country, we can also consider expanding our territory overseas."
Ning Feng smiled and pinched the back of her neck.
Tuoba Tao unified the other regions in the north except Kunyu. Ning Yan began to worry about the agreement signed between Xu and Tuoba Tao. However, Tuoba Tao had been fighting against Liu Song and never mentioned the matter. Slowly, , and was forgotten.
Tuoba Tao ended the battle with Liu Song and turned around to fulfill his promise as a man.
Send an invitation letter to Kunyu State, invite Kunyu State’s envoy to Wei State, and ask Lord Zhuo to go by name.
This request set off alarm bells for Ning Yan and others. It was not uncommon for them to detain an envoy. Tuoba Tao asked Xu to go by name. He didn't want to detain him, right?
Ning Fang would not let Xun go by himself no matter what this time. He was the leader of the envoy group, and Xun was just one of the members. Jiang Wu and Ru Yuan were also among them. Ru Yuan had sorted out a bunch of projects that could be cooperated, and Jiang Ping also Participated in this mission as a member of the escort.
Hyun looked at the lineup, approached Ning Yan and asked in a low voice:
"Isn't this lineup a bit gorgeous?"
Ning Yan looked at the team of envoys proudly:
"Auntie Huang, you are the treasure of Kunyu Kingdom. In order to prevent Tuoba Tao from detaining you, I have to choose such a luxurious lineup," he looked at her with bright eyes, "How is my mission?"
Hyun smiled, looked around and saw that there was no one around, raised his hand to straighten his clothes:
"You're still like a child no matter how old you are."
Ning Yan immediately transformed into a baby girl and bumped into Hyun:
"In front of the Imperial Aunt, you are always a child."
Hyun raised her hand and grabbed his face.
The group set off, and nothing happened along the way. They arrived at Pingcheng safely and received very good hospitality. Since the Kunyu Kingdom's national strength and armed forces increased, the mission rarely encountered the same treatment as when they went to Shizhao. Even when they are on missions to the Western Regions, each country can be polite on the surface. Sure enough, when the country is strong, its citizens can be tougher, and they will no longer feel inferior to others.
That night, Tuoba Tao held a banquet to entertain everyone, and Ning Yu also presented gifts. Because the two countries had a close relationship, on the surface, no one was in trouble, and the banquet was in a good atmosphere.
Tuoba Tao summoned them the next day, and Ru Yuan put a thick plan book into his arms.
When they met Tuoba Tao, they all saluted and were polite. I won’t go into details. What made Ning Yan uncomfortable was that since they came in, Tuoba Tao’s eyes would occasionally fall on Hyun intentionally or unintentionally. Ning Yan was convinced that that day Tuoba Tao had already noticed that Hyun was a woman disguised as a man.
After a round of hypocritical etiquette and courtesy, the topic finally turned to the real topic.
Ning Yan cupped his hands to Tuoba Tao and said:
"Kunyu State and Wei State have a long history. I hope that the two countries can continue to live in harmony and benefit from each other as before."
Tuoba Tao glanced sideways at Xun, who looked like nothing was happening next to Ning Ming, and said to Ning Ming:
"It's natural. Great-grandfather had to be saved by Lord Jiang and General Zhuo. Naturally, I will never forget this kindness. Since our two countries have such a deep friendship, I want to marry you and establish an even deeper friendship."
Before Ning Fang could speak, Hyun rushed in front of him and said:
"Your Majesty, a deeper friendship is not based on marriage. History has proven that only interests can involve each other. On the contrary, marriage is the most unreliable relationship."
Ning Fang, Jiang Wu, and Ru Yuan were startled. If they were so direct, would they anger Tuoba Tao?
Tuoba Tao raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest:
"So what does General Zhuo think?"
Hyun turned around and took out the plan book from Ru Yuan's arms. Ru Yuan's mind went blank for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Hyun had already walked towards Tuoba Tao with the plan book in hand, and cursed in his heart:
How come this guy has been here for so many years and he still can’t change it? Fortunately, he is wearing men’s clothing. If he were wearing women’s clothing, I don’t know how he would be stabbed in the spine!
Everyone in the room was shocked when they knew her identity, but Hyun was indifferent and walked to the right place excitedly:
"Your Majesty, this is the plan we made before departure. Based on the strength of Wei State, our two countries can cooperate on more projects. In this way, the relationship between the two countries will be more stable and closer than relying on marriage. Your Majesty, why not take a look? "
Tuoba Tao came back to his senses from Xun's astonishing behavior just now. When he saw Xun's eyes shining brightly and looking at him with deep expectation, Tuoba Tao motioned to bring up the plan book and flipped through it. They are indeed very good cooperation projects. They can learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, and are mutually beneficial. If these projects can be put into operation, Wei will have a lot of income every year, but...
Tuoba Tao looked up at Xun, just wanting to see Xun's compromise with him, just wanting to see that aloof person have to bow his head in front of him. If possible, he would even want to lock her in his harem to see her show off again. Looking at her silly look after drinking too much that night, she showed the shyness of a woman, instead of the tough feeling she has now.
Putting down the plan, he walked towards Hyun step by step. At first, Hyun was quite looking forward to it, hoping that Tuoba Tao would give up the plan of getting married and accept cooperation. However, as Tuoba Tao got closer and closer, his burning gaze made Hyun He felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to shrink behind Ning Yu, but for the sake of Kun Yuguo's face, he forced himself to stand where he was and looked at Tuoba Tao with neither humility nor arrogance.
When Ning Yu saw Tuoba Tao's eyes, he felt angry. He wanted to go over and pull Yuan away, but he couldn't. Now every move he made represented Kun Yuguo. He must not be impulsive. He secretly took a deep breath and endured it!
Jiang Wu and Ru Yuan were also shocked when they saw Tuoba Tao's eyes. They couldn't figure out whether Tuoba Tao knew Yun's identity or whether Tuoba Tao had a preference for male sex. Like Ning Yu, the two of them couldn't bear it! It's a shame I haven't experienced in so many years.
Tuoba Tao walked up to Xun and said with a smile:
"But I still feel that just cooperation cannot show the closeness of the relationship between the two countries."
Yun was stunned for a moment, forgetting the embarrassment just now, and looked at Tuoba Tao stupidly:
"Then what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Tuoba Tao's smile became even thicker and his eyes became gentler, as if he could squeeze out water.
Then move a little closer to Hyun:
"I——I want Kunyu to become a vassal state of Wei."
Everyone in the Kunyu Kingdom was stunned. The Kunyu Kingdom had survived the chaos of the Western Jin Dynasty. It had gone through weakness, struggle, and strength. In such troubled times, they did not even think about relying on anyone to survive. Now everything is stable. , but there was a powerful political power that asked them to become a vassal state, and everyone felt a little strange in their hearts.
Hyun Yuan opened her eyes and looked at Tuoba Tao, not knowing how to respond to him.
Ning Feng stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, the vassal state will affect our initiative, and we will not be obsessed with anything. If we cooperate, we will be proactive towards each other, which is more conducive to the development of both countries."
After Tuoba Tao moved his eyes to Ning Xun, he lost the gentleness he had when facing Xun, and had a lofty and imperial look:
"I can give you something special. Our cooperation remains the same. We are just a vassal state in name only."
Ning Feng said again:
"If that's the case, then the vassal country doesn't need it."
Tuoba Tao did not give in even a cent:
"Although this vassal state is only in name, I still want Kunyu State to be a vassal state of Wei State."
Everyone in Kunyu Kingdom was choked. This emperor seemed to be acting out of common sense. As the leader of a country, does it really matter if he is so willful?
Hyun saw that Ning Fang was about to get angry. After all, Ning Fang was the prince, and no one had looked down on him since he was a child. Being able to tolerate this level was already his limit.
He hurriedly inserted himself between Ning Xin and Tuoba Tao and said to Tuoba Tao:
"This matter is not something we can decide. We have to report it to the Emperor before we can reply to His Majesty."
Tuoba Tao saw Xuan's protection for Ning Xin, looked at Ning Xin deeply, said "no problem", and walked to his seat.
When everyone returned to their hotel, Ning Yu immediately wrote to Ning Yan. Jiang Wu, Ru Yuan, and Xun also complained angrily, and Jiang Yan suddenly said:
"Can we defeat Wei?"
Everyone calmed down. The Kunyu Kingdom has become stronger, but it is not strong enough to confront the Wei Kingdom. Although it is not without the ability to fight, the result will definitely be that the national strength of the Kunyu Kingdom is greatly reduced, and it is very likely that it will After this battle, even if we are lucky enough to get a draw or defeat Wei, we will not be able to escape the destruction in the near future.
Hyun pinched his brows:
"I'm so angry with Tuoba Tao."
Jiang Wu patted his son on the shoulder with appreciation and asked everyone:
"Then we can only accept the vassal country's proposal?"
Ru Yuan thought for a while, compared the national strength of the two countries and said:
"Looking at Tuoba Tao's attitude today, I'm afraid we can only accept his proposal."
Ning Fang looked at the written part, tore it off and burned it:
"I will objectively tell the emperor the situation here. There are many people there, so maybe I can come up with some solution."
Hyun suddenly jumped on Ning Xin's back, hugged his neck, bit his clothes, and said inarticulately:
"Why are you so unwilling to give in? I'm really unwilling to give in! I'm so angry! Yu, please comfort me! I'm asking for comfort."
Jiang Wu and Ru Yuan were stunned, and quietly got up and walked out. Jiang Wu walked a few steps and realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw that his son was still stunned, and came back to pull him away.
Jiang Chu was still stunned after leaving the room. In his impression, the legendary Master Zhuo should be fierce and vigorous:
Who was that person who climbed on King Yi's back and acted coquettishly just now? I must have seen it wrong! That can't be Master Zhuo! Yeah, well, I must have seen it wrong! I'm too tired and hallucinating, just take a nap and it'll be fine .
Jiang Wu looked at Jiang Cu, put his arm around his shoulders and said:
"One day when Xiaoqi is willing to show you her weak side, you can marry her."
Jiang Zu looked at Jiang Wu with a confused expression.
Jiang Wu sighed:
"Hey, it seems it will take a long time for this daughter-in-law to get in." (To be continued)
