Chapter 525 Imported wine
Yizhou, Changming Mansion.
When Lu Bei climbed over the wall and entered the hospital, it was still dark, and there was a hustle and bustle in front of Changming Mansion. Young heroes from Yizhou and even several other states lined up to give money.
At this time, the Zhu family of Wu Zhou quelled the Qinggan rebellion, the Western Territory had a dialogue with Qi Yan, and Yuezhou defeated Huangjizong and conquered Tianjianzong for his own use. The royal prestige reached its peak and steadily overwhelmed Huangji Zong.
The royal power is stable, and the emperor Zhu Qiyou is pointing the country in the court, and his voice is much louder than before.
As a result, the status of the eldest princess Zhu Qilan has risen.
There are many princesses of Wuzhou. In the early years, because of the strength of Huangjizong, many of the Zhu family's offspring got the title of princess, which led to a flood of princesses in the Zhu family, and the transaction value dropped again and again.
But Zhu Qilan, the eldest princess, is different. The current emperor Zhu Qiyou is just a biological sister. Whoever can win her favor, successfully enter the Changming Mansion, and make Zhu Qiyou happy to become an uncle will be able to make a smooth career and bring the whole family along. Dip light.
So, for the sake of the family and to win the favor of the eldest princess, this money cannot be saved.
Not only need to spend, but also change patterns, don't fall into the cliché and be compared by others.
Don't feel shabby, just like this, how many people want to kneel but have no way out!
…
Lu Bei came a little early today, Zhu Qilan was still in the camp, and the well-behaved and sensible housekeeper Yu helped the master take a bath and change clothes, and one of them didn't pay attention, and followed him into the water.
Everyone has come, so I won’t go up.
"Master, this is wine from the palace. It is said to be produced in Xuanlong. Is it good?" Steward Yu drank the wine by mouth.
Different from the cowardly cut-off red songs, Steward Yu is an active 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 made repeated orders not to steal food, she would have cut Lu Bei under her skirt. up.
"It's okay, I haven't tasted the taste, how about two more glasses?"
"Master is good or bad!"
"Hey hey hey..."
Generally speaking, Lu Bei doesn't drink alcohol. He is a man, and once he says something, it is hard to follow. His power is incompatible with gambling, drugs and alcohol, so how can he not count his words.
But whoever said that, a white horse is not a horse.
He thinks it makes sense. By analogy, imported wine is not wine, and tasting it is harmless.
The two poured a few cups, the atmosphere became more and more mellow, watching the sky thunder stir the ground fire, the dog and man were already hugging each other, suddenly a cold snort interrupted, the surface of the pool froze, and came a crystal clear Feeling cold.
"His Royal Highness is back."
Steward Yu bit Lu Bei's ear, dragged him out of the swimming pool, wiped off the water stains with his fingers, and changed into clean clothes.
"Come back when you come back, what are you humming, does she have a bad throat?"
Lu Bei BB loudly, then raised his brows: "This guy is just fake and noble. He had a date with him last time, so he's just playing it off this time."
Butler Yu covered his mouth and snickered. After getting dressed, he led Lu Bei towards the study, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is unhappy these days, someone offended her, master, remember to coax her later, and say something more obedient .”
"Who is so bold, dare to offend her, tell me, I'll show that person some color."
"Far in the sky, close in sight."
"Understood, I have been practicing diligently recently, and I haven't come to see my cousin for several days. She is angry with me."
"More than that!"
Steward Yu snickered secretly, came to the study while speaking, stood behind Zhu Qilan, and gently pinched Zhu Qilan's shoulders.
Zhu Qilan's face was very stinky, and he lowered his head to correct the file. After Lu Bei entered the room, he didn't even look at him.
"Go, thick-handed and thick-footed, you hurt His Highness, replace me."
Lu Bei squeezed Steward Yu away with his ass, put his ten fingers on Zhu Qilan's shoulder, and squeezed it a few times: "Don't be angry, I'm really too busy recently, so busy that I can't get out, look, I'm getting out of here Well!"
Zhu Qilan snorted coldly, turned his head and looked aside, Lu Bei suddenly realized, kissed her on the face, broke the defense on the spot, and immediately blushed.
Now, Zhu Qilan didn't bother to look through the file, put down the red pen in his hand, and said with a strange yin and yang: "It turns out to be the Sect Master Lu of the Heavenly Sword Sect. You are not in Xuanlong to defend against the demon clan. Why did you return to Wuzhou?"
"I miss you!"
Lu Bei's exit became scum, he picked up Zhu Qilan and put him on his lap, and sat down on the seat of the Patriarch, letting Steward Yu, who had thick hands and feet, pinch his shoulders for him.
Steward Yu stood obediently behind Lu Bei, with a smile on his lips, watching a pair of friends flirting.
Zhu Qilan sat across Lu Bei's lap, her posture was too weak, she looked like a small woman, and she was not used to it for a while, but she didn't refuse, she struggled twice to express her displeasure, and only gave in to Lu Bei when she was forced, and there was no more.
"My cousin knows about my going to Xuanlong, tsk, the news spread quite 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 promiscuous outside, and Xuanlong even sent people to..."
Zhu Qilan was so angry that he talked about his unhappiness amid Steward Yu's sniggering.
Wu Zhou and Qi Yan had a brief confrontation, and Qi Yan defeated Ji Xin and Ji Chen, two cultivators who had crossed the catastrophe period.
But at this time, Wu Zhou was making moves on the front line again, as if he was going to fight Qi Yan to the end. Even if the envoy of the Holy Land of the Human Race intervened, he insisted that Qi Yan pay the price in blood.
The atmosphere was heightened to this point, Qi Yan was eager to stabilize the internal conflicts, so he could only compromise with Wu Zhou.
Compromise is used here, not surrender, which is particular.
As a big country, Qi Yan surrendered without losing an inch of territory. It was embarrassing, losing face and losing the hearts of the people. It only added international jokes and seriously damaged the national interest.
Therefore, it is impossible to surrender. I would rather spend more money and sign a few agreements with Wu Zhou privately than announce my surrender publicly.
To put it simply, Wu Zhou took the lining, Qi Yan kept face, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and they will still be good plastic brothers in the future.
You call me big brother, I call you cousin.
Wu Zhou thought it was feasible, so he came directly to the lion to open his mouth. Zhu Qilan didn't know the specific negotiation process, how much compensation was demanded, and whether the land was ceded.
All she knew was that the imperial brother of the capital had written her a letter, in which he stated that Qi Yan had a positive attitude in admitting his mistakes at the negotiating table. It is best to move around frequently in the future.
To show sincerity, I picked up a beautiful princess, and after the negotiation was over, I took the official route and sent her to Mount Qianshan in Yuezhou.
Longyan Joy.
No, it was Longyan who was furious.
Zhu Qiyou wanted to agree, but the clan disagreed, especially his relatives, the retired emperor Zhu Bangchun, and the former retired old emperor Zhu Jingli, who turned the table on the spot and rejected the compensation.
Laughing to death, what is Qi Yan’s Ji, who dares to eat in the bowl of Lao Zhu’s house, but go to you!
Just like that, the beautiful and beautiful princess of the Ji family was sent back, and the horses and chariots had not yet crossed the border, so they went straight home.
Leaving aside the matter of negotiation, before the old Zhu family was proud, a team of envoys from Xuanlong rushed into the capital, and the leader, Bai Mao, handed over a letter from Xuanlong Emperor Zhao Fangce.
The content of the letter is simple. First, it thanked the Heavenly Sword Sect Master Lu for his contribution to Xuanlong, and then clarified that the situation in the northern border was at stake, and he reached out to Guan Wuzhou to ask for money and resources.
If you don’t give it, the Xuanlong Zhao family will be very upset, and they will go crazy if they are unhappy.
In case some unruly monks from Yunyun Palace secretly sneaked into Wu Zhou to cause sabotage, such as the Three Fiends or something crooked, causing diplomatic disputes, everyone would feel bad about it.
Usually, when Xuan Long loses his temper, he just laughs, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
The battle line in the northern border is long, and Xuanlong has no time to show off his force to Wu Zhou. Now it is different, because the master Lu of the Heavenly Sword Sect stepped forward, and two of the four great demon kings died and one was injured. Xuanlong can definitely dispatch a group Elite soldiers and powerful 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 angrier, and those who were active were overjoyed.
Because Zhao Fangce changed the topic in the letter, he and Lu Bei went to sleep together, thinking of them as confidants, and almost sworn brothers.
Although it didn't work out, it didn't affect the deep relationship between the two. Zhao Fangce invited Lu Bei to move Tianjianzong to Xuanlong, and promised to take the post of Zhenbei General, whose status was only under the Generalissimo of Bingma. After being politely declined , the two sides reached a friendly and cooperative relationship, and the Heavenly Sword Sect will establish a branch in Xuanlong.
For the friendly exchange of opinions between the two sides, Zhao Wuyou, a special diplomat, is stationed in Yuezhou all the year round, hoping that Wu Zhou will quickly approve a piece of land, preferably opposite Tibetan Qianshan Mountain.
If Wu Zhou agrees to this request, Xuan Long will help put pressure on him and help Wu Zhou get more benefits from Qi Yan's negotiating table.
Just after driving away the shameless Ji family, the Zhao family came again to grab food. How could the retired emperors of the old Zhu family not be angry. Frightened by Xuanlong's strong national power, he dared not speak out when he was angry, so he bit the bullet and agreed to the white-haired diplomats to be stationed in Yuezhou.
According to the process, the land can be approved next year, the official residence can be built the year after, and it should collapse the year after.
Zhu Qiyou didn't say much in the letter. Every time he made a fortune, it was because of how powerful Lu Bei was. It was more uncomfortable than killing him.
He only bragged about how charming the white-haired diplomat is, she is a rare beautiful woman in the world, and she is from a well-known family, if not Xuanlong's national conditions, at least she is also a princess.
Let Zhu Qilan take good care of him, don't let Xuanlong get what he wants.
Zhu Qiyou wanted to write in a different way, so that his sister should put state affairs first and not stick to the personal relationship of her children.
Helpless, the surroundings are either father, grandfather, or great-grandfather, and he is only a grandson. If he dares to write like this, he will be beaten on the spot.
This is why Zhu Qilan is sullen. She believes that Lu Bei will not be fooled by beauty. No matter how beautiful Xuanlong's white hair is, Lu Bei will never look at him. She just couldn't get angry, Xuanlong blatantly robbed her of her heart, and even sent the beauty to the door of Lu Bei's house, it was really arrogant and hateful.
By the way, there is also Qi Yan, who is not a good thing either!
After Lu Bei listened, he fell into a long silence.
Zhu Qilan groaned angrily and waited for Lu Bei to swear that even if Bai Mao had the allure, he would not empathize with others. I didn't see any movement for a while, but when I saw Lu Bei thoughtful, he seemed to be quite moved, and he was furious, pinching a piece of soft flesh around his waist and twisting it hard a few times.
You dead man, speak up!
Lu Bei gasped, leaned his head against Butler Yu's chest, bounced back to his original position, met Zhu Qilan's fierce eyes, raised his brows and said:
"Then what, Qi Yan's beautiful princess, is she really so beautiful?"
