Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 26 Negotiation (2)
On October 18, Doni returned to Barona with the terms of the agreement that both parties were very satisfied with and more than 40,000 prisoners. Before leaving, Watt specifically found Doni and expressed that he wanted to stay in Qingyang and study and live under me for a period of time, and he would go back when the time was right. After many careful inquiries, Doni confirmed that Watt stayed voluntarily for no other reason. He expressed his support for Watt's choice and hoped that he could study hard here and lead his tribe to revitalize Luobei when he returned. nationality.
On the 18th, the secret wax letter from Guji, who was far away in the imperial capital, was delivered to me in an expedited manner. After learning that I was appointed as the military and political envoy of the Northwest County, I could no longer suppress the ecstasy in my heart. After six years of hard work, I finally got what I wanted. After walking around the city guard's garden a few times, I gradually calmed down from the extreme excitement. Now that I have appointed myself as the military and political envoy of the Northwest, I have to quickly quell the rebellion in Guide and Bonan, so that I can be a real military and political envoy. This time Situ Biao fought for this position for himself without fear of risks, so he must have his own plans. If he came to Qingyang to announce the appointment and orders of His Majesty the Emperor, he would have to take a good look at him.
I stood quietly in the depths of the path in the garden, analyzing various issues that I hadn't thought of just now due to excessive excitement. Situ Biao finally revealed his true face in this court meeting, which will definitely attract the attention of many forces, and at the same time inevitably arouse the hostility of his other half-brothers who are expected to compete for the throne. He dared to stand up, and he must have the support of certain forces behind him. Of course, he used this method to show his favor to me, obviously trying to draw me into his line. But this gift is indeed quite heavy. Although I don't know what his ultimate purpose is, at least he has won my favor for now, but the premise is that it does not affect my interests. No personal feelings can be mixed in political struggles, and everything must be subordinated to the needs of interests.
Now that it has been decided to pacify the two prefectures of Guidebonan, preparations must be made early, especially the deployment of troops needs to be carried out immediately, otherwise the fighter planes will change three times a day, and it will be troublesome if it is delayed. Thinking of this, I calmed down and went back to the study.
Just when I arranged for someone to inform Ling Tian to return to Qingyang and sit in the grand master's chair to think about the upcoming counter-insurgency battle, the sound of the guard's report interrupted my contemplation.
"Report, my lord, there are three people outside the house asking to see you."
"Oh? Who?" I was a little surprised.
"My lord, there are three women who claim to be from the Snow Mountain Sect. They all carry weapons with them." The guard obviously didn't know the origin of the seeker.
Snow Mountain School? I recalled it for a while before I got some impressions in my mind. It seems that the Snow Mountain Sect used to be a big sect in the northwest region, but after the invasion of the Luobei people more than ten years ago, its power gradually shrank. The people took very strict precautions, but they were unsuccessful. A few years ago, the Luobei people sent troops to wipe out the Xueshan faction's Daxueshan base at the junction of Qingyang and Guide, and burned down the Xueshan faction's headquarters. In the past few years, they have hardly heard of it What is the sound of the Snow Mountain School? The disciples of this sect are mainly women. It is said that the martial arts are feminine and changeable, and the lightness kung fu is quite brilliant. These are all mentioned to me occasionally by Mo Lun when he was collecting information about the Jianghu forces in the northwest region.
Calculated, these people should still be my allies. Although I have reconciled with the Luobei people now, I still admire them for their brave resistance to violence and foreign invasion. However, it is indeed unwise to use a Jianghu sect to compete against the army of a country. If a sect has such a simple-minded leader, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing.
These people suddenly came to me today and asked to see me. What is the purpose of these people? I was a little hesitant. Although I don't dislike the Jianghu sect, I don't want the Jianghu folk forces in my territory to grow. Even Yingying's father, I reluctantly agreed to Liuhemen to develop in Qingyang after careful consideration, and also After I unify the Northwest, the so-called Snow Mountain Sect coming here at this moment must be related to their sect, but at this time, the Northwest has been expelled due to the power of the foreign enemy Luobei, and the economy has developed rapidly , The population has increased greatly, and there is indeed a blank space in the field of civil forces. Even Liuhemen has seen this, and the Xueshan faction, which has been active in the Northwest for a long time, will not be unclear. This is a good opportunity for development.
Maybe Liuhemen also needs an opponent that competes and restrains each other to be more suitable. I suddenly had such an idea in my heart that the survival and development of these two factions should be subordinated to my interests. Let's see Well, I made up my mind.
When the three of them were brought into the reception room, my heart seemed to have been punched hard, and I was suddenly out of breath. The leader is a handsome middle-aged woman. The two black-ridged old crow eyebrows on a fair face show that this woman has a strong personality, and the pair of shining eyes can also be seen under the thick eyebrows. It turns out that this woman has an extraordinary heart. But this was not enough to move my heart. What shocked me was the two girls behind her. Both of them were tall and slender. The attractive figure is covered, and the **** the right is wearing a blue dress, but the cloak is light yellow. The two girls are wearing a cloak with a clear gauze on their heads, making it difficult to see their faces clearly, but the cloak that is revealed The atmosphere is enough to make people excited.
Although the three of them had their weapons confiscated by the guards, my guard on duty was still very cautious and let the three women sit opposite me, while they stood behind me with their knives pressed.
Seeing that my eyes and the suspicious eyes of the guards were fixed on the second girl behind her, she hesitated for a moment, and the middle-aged woman signaled the second girl behind her to take off the cloak on her head.
What a beautiful face! I even felt that the guards behind me were suffocating. These two girls were only sixteen or seventeen years old. The one on the left had an oval face with two deep dimples, and a pair of bright eyes shone with light purple light. A head of brown hair is tied into a beautiful bun; and the face of the **** the right clearly has the shadow of a middle-aged woman, her eyebrows are picturesque, and there is always a slight smile on her shattered jade dimple. Her shiny long hair was casually draped behind her shoulders. Chunhuaqiuyue, regardless of Xuanzhi, I secretly evaluate in my heart. It's no wonder that people want to wear a veiled cloak. If they go out like this, I'm afraid there will be a large group of suitors behind them.
After saluting to me, I signaled the three of them to sit down casually with my hand. The three women are obviously also looking at me carefully, especially the middle-aged woman's eyes obviously have a look of doubt, she paused after sitting down and then looked at me and asked: "Is the one sitting here Li Wufeng Master Li?"
Hearing this sentence from it, I felt happy. Before I could answer, the guards behind me shouted: "Presumptuous! How dare you pretend to be an adult?"
The middle-aged woman stood up quickly, "The woman is guilty. It's just that the woman has never met an adult. When I saw him today, he is so young, so he must have some doubts."
I waved my hand, indicating that I don't need to blame myself, "Are you from the Snow Mountain School?"
"That's right, my concubine is Jin Sumei, the twelfth generation head of the Snow Mountain School. One of them is my concubine's daughter Yun Yi, and the other is my concubine's apprentice Qin Shuangying." Although she didn't introduce who her daughter is, who She is her apprentice, but anyone can see the identity of the second daughter.
"I've heard for a long time that the Snow Mountain Sect's heroines are coming out in large numbers, and today I see them to be worthy of their reputation." I said in a warm voice, but I can also see that the martial arts of these three people are not weak, and they have already entered the room.
"Oh? Your Excellency has also heard of the reputation of our sect?" Jin Sumei's eyes lit up, but then her face darkened. "Maybe you have only heard of the reputation of the Snow Mountain Sect before?"
"Well, I really haven't heard much about your faction in the past few years since I took over Qingyang and Jinzhou." I don't want to hide it either.
Jin Sumei's face became even more gloomy, "My lord probably also knows that our faction caused the Luobei invading army to attack our faction's base because of resisting the Luobei invading army, right?" down.
"After I came to the Northwest, I heard that the Xueshan School was still a great school in the Northwest. Since then, it has disappeared." , they will not really realize their current situation.
"That was when my concubine senior sister became the head of the sect. Since then, due to the destruction of the base, although it cannot be said that the faction has disappeared, it is true that the faction has died down after suffering heavy losses." Recalling the past, Jin Sumei She still felt a little bitter, but she quickly cheered up, "However, our faction still has a good foundation in the Northwest."
My gaze was fixed on Jin Sumei's face, "What is the matter of the head of Jin coming to see me today?"
After deliberating for a while, Jin Sumei's face was a little flushed, and then she said a word: "I would like to ask my lord to strongly support the development of our faction in the Northwest."
"Oh?" I had actually expected this request to her, but I didn't expect her to make it so straightforwardly. I gently leaned back, "Master Jin also knows that I am Qing. The city guards in Yangzhou and Jinzhou don’t have much affection for folk forces, and it’s really embarrassing for you to ask me to support your faction’s development in this area, not to mention that other sects have already made similar requests.”
"Did you mean Liuhemen?" Jin Sumei casually brushed the messy hair on her forehead, and calmed down, "The northwest space is vast, and two or three sects should be able to coexist peacefully."
It seems that this woman should not be underestimated, she has worked hard to understand me.
"There are also some sects such as the Tianshan School." This soft sentence caused a great impact on the three women present.
"Tianshan school?" Jin Sumei couldn't help asking repeatedly.
Seeing me nodding in affirmation, Jin Sumei's originally calm face became a little nervous. Tianshan Mountain is located at the junction of Qingyang and Gaochang Kingdom in the Western Regions. The northwest region of the empire is very influential, and it can be regarded as a famous sect. The situation of this sect is somewhat similar to that of the Xueshan sect. The disciples in the sect are all yin and yang, and the two factions competed fiercely at that time. After the invasion of the Luobei people, the forces of the Tianshan faction gradually withdrew from the northwest and developed in the countries of the Western Regions. I heard that the princess of Loulan Kingdom, Hariqina, is a disciple of Tianshan.
"My lord, our faction has a much better foundation in the Northwest, and our faction is willing to contribute to your cause." Jin Sumei was a little anxious to speak. When faced with the aggressive approach of her biggest opponent, she felt body pressure.
Actually, no one from the Tianshan faction has ever come to me. I just fabricated it to suppress Jin Sumei. I didn't expect that this move would have such a big impact on Jin Sumei.
"How will your faction plan to support me?" I also opened the skylight to speak bluntly.
"The situation in Guide Bonan is chaotic now. I believe that the court will ask Sir to lead the army to put down the rebellion in a short time. Our faction still has some connections in Guide Bonan. I believe it will be able to provide reliable information for Sir." Jin Sumei also saw my rising momentum, so she resolutely bet the weight on me.
But her condition is not enough to win my support, I stared into her eyes coldly, without opening my mouth.
Jin Sumei sighed secretly, "Also, the concubine thinks that the status of the lord is getting higher and higher. There must be many people who are dissatisfied with the lord, and the personal safety of the lord is even more dangerous. And the guards around the lord are fighting. They are all warriors~IndoMTL.com~ But when it comes to dealing with assassins, I am afraid that they are not as good as those of us who come from Jianghu sects.”
This sentence made me nod secretly. The disciples sent by Liuhemen were all assigned to the army by me. Although the guards around me have been trained by me, they are more suitable for charging on the battlefield. Come to assassinate me, these people really may not be able to handle it.
Seeing that I didn't open my mouth, Jin Sumei thought I didn't believe it, and said: "Although my lord is highly skilled in martial arts, as the saying goes, it is easy to block a spear, but hard to defend against a hidden arrow. The moment I came in as a concubine, if the concubine was an assassin, I'm afraid the safety of your lord is in danger." After she finished speaking, with a slight movement of her hand, several flying knives flew out of her cuffs, flew in the air and returned to her sleeve, throwing the guards behind her. They were startled and quickly stood in front of me.
I can see that she has worked hard for many years, so she nodded and signaled the guards to back off, "Okay, this is the strength of the Xueshan faction, then keep the two disciples behind you Be my bodyguard."
Jin Sumei also expected that I would make this request, but hearing my tone was unquestionable, she could only let out a long sigh, "I will obey. But please also abide by our agreement, and you can't force my disciples to be unwilling." What to do." Her words sounded rather weak.
But she underestimates me, Li Wufeng, too. Could it be that I, Li Wufeng, are the ones taking advantage of the fire? I was thinking in my heart, but another voice came out again, not necessarily. "Master Jin can rest assured, I, Li Wufeng, am not so despicable. Even if I want to do something, I will be aboveboard, and I will never resort to any tricks."
The two girls who were a little nervous at first couldn't help but blush when they heard this sentence.
