The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1074: farce
Chapter 1074 Farce
“Yeah…” Shen Tianzhi added fuel to the fire, “It’s just a matter of food. Why bother stationing troops, moving in Tianfeng citizens, and hiring our people? It’s a hassle!”
Sar Khan: “…”
“What does Yan think?” After Liu Rushi finished speaking, he looked in the direction of Yan’s court officials, seeking their opinions, completely ignoring what Tianfeng thought.
Murong Yan raised a smile at the corner of his lips and picked up the teacup in front of him. It turned out that Liu Rushi, the famous speaker of the Great Zhou Dynasty, never disappoints anyone. No wonder Shen Sikong of the Great Zhou Dynasty sat there calmly drinking tea and didn’t look worried at all.
“Lord Liu is right!” The Yan court officials also nodded, “Such a simple matter, why make it so complicated! They stationed troops there, and asked us to send troops!”
Sar Khan glanced at Liu Rushi, feeling unhappy: “Renting land… Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the amount of grain harvested is entirely ours to bear, but if we buy grain…”
“For buying food, no matter it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, we will give you as much as you want. Isn’t it that your Tianfeng Kingdom is taking advantage?” Liu Rushi asked back, “The king of Tianfeng Kingdom is so persistent that it is inevitable that people will suspect that Tianfeng Kingdom wants to rent our Great Zhou city for other purposes.”
The Yan officials nodded and felt that Liu Rushi was right.
“It’s easy to sign this alliance!” Liu Rushi put his hands in his sleeves and straightened his back. “It seems that the relationship between Tianfeng Kingdom and Xiliang is very good now. Xiliang is willing to rent cities and land to you. We in Dazhou have no right to interfere! But… the army of Tianfeng Kingdom must not cross the border of Dazhou! We will pick a day every year to deliver food and fodder to the border and hand it over to you. The money and goods will be settled quickly and neatly.”
“That’s right…” The Yan official looked at Murong Li and Murong Yan, “What do your Majesty and the Ninth Prince think?”
Murong Yan stroked the teacup with his fingers and said with a smile, “I think… it’s very good.”
“What do you think, Your Majesty?” Liu Rushi also asked Bai Qingyan.
“Very good!” Bai Qingyan nodded.
“If the king of Tianfeng Kingdom also thinks it is feasible, let’s redraft the alliance!” Liu Rushi said.
If Tianfeng Kingdom just wants food, this method is the best for Tianfeng Kingdom. If Tianfeng Kingdom is unwilling to redraft the treaty, it will be enough to expose its ambition. The officials from Da Zhou and Dayan who came here are not fools.
Sar Khan was thinking of a solution, his lips tightly pursed, and he turned to look at the disciple of the great wizard.
The Great Witch’s disciple looked at Bai Qingyan and stared at him. He muttered something silently and felt that Bai Qingyan was the master chosen by God for this land… but also not.
Sar Khan’s eyelids twitched, and he raised his eyebrows to ask the great witch’s disciple, and saw the great witch’s disciple looking at the Ninth Prince of Dayan.
The Great Wizard’s disciple clutched the corner of his clothes tightly. This was the same feeling that the Ninth Prince gave him.
The back of the Great Witch’s disciple was already soaked by this time. Could he tell His Majesty that he was not sure which one between the Ninth Prince of Dayan and the Empress of Zhou was the master chosen by God for this land?
He thought, maybe…the parents of the owner of this land? Their flesh and blood might become the owner of this land?
That’s not right either…
The great wizard’s disciple fell into some confusing thoughts.
The master chosen by God must have appeared, otherwise… the Great Wizard would not have been warned.
Could it be that the owner of this land is related to the Empress of the Great Zhou and the Ninth Prince of Yan, but they have not arrived today.
Li Tianfu had been sitting there without saying a word. She glanced at Sar Khan and sneered in her heart. She had long told Sar Khan that instead of hesitating to make an alliance here and using the method of cannibalization, it would be better to rely directly on the elephant army to attack the Great Zhou. Only the cities and lands captured by the army in hand would be the land that could be truly held in their hands.
Now, Dayan and Dayzhou have signed an alliance. If one country attacks, the other country will definitely take action.
Li Tianfu stood up and looked at Bai Qingyan and said, “Bai Qingyan… I guess you haven’t forgotten the three-year agreement with Yun Poxing, right?”
Bai Qingyan nodded.
“And I will never forget Lu Tianzhuo’s vengeance. Xiliang and Dazhou will definitely have a war!”
Bai Qingyan looked at Li Tianfu calmly, as if he was listening attentively.
“The Empress of Xiliang…” Sar Khan frowned.
Li Tianfu turned a deaf ear to him and turned to look at Murong Li and Murong Yan: “Yan State and Rongdi once had an alliance, which prohibited them from interfering with Xiliang within three years…”
Hearing this, Bai Jinzhi couldn’t help but laugh. She looked towards Li Tianfu and said, “Rongdi is gone. It has now been incorporated into the Great Zhou Dynasty… Princess Xiliang, don’t you know?”
“I don’t care! But… since Yan State has signed such an alliance with Rongdi, it cannot touch Xiliang within three years!” Li Tianfu was so stupid and imposing.
Sar Khan merely clenched his fists, barely able to suppress the murderous intent in his body. How could there be such a stupid woman as Li Tianfu in this world, who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything? Could it be that the former emperor of Xiliang gave all his intelligence to Li Tianjiao, leaving Li Tianfu with only pampering and stupidity?
Unable to restrain his murderous intent, Sar Khan took out the jade cicada from his sleeve, rubbed it in his hand, and did not want to get involved in Li Tianfu’s stupidity.
Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and looked towards Li Tianfu, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
Bai Jinzhi was so angry that he laughed out loud when Li Tianfu said, “I don’t care about this.”
“You want to be in charge, but who told you to be in charge? What right do you have to be in charge? Do the people of Xiliang have no shame?” Bai Jinzhi really didn’t know what Li Tianfu had grown up on. “You think everyone is your mother and you are spoiled by her! And you still don’t care! If you want to throw a tantrum…if you want to act like a spoiled child, go back to Xiliang! Don’t disgust me here! This is the big tent of the Four Nations Alliance. It’s a matter of state and diplomacy. How can you throw a tantrum?”
Li Tianfu looked unhappy, looking at Murong Li like a soft persimmon, and asked: “Is Emperor Yan planning to break the covenant?”
Before Murong Li could speak, Murong Yan spoke first…
“The alliance is mutually binding. Now that Rongdi is gone, how come Princess Xiliang thinks… that this alliance can unilaterally bind us, Great Yan?” Murong Yan looked at Li Tianfu with a cold gaze and said jokingly, “I would like to borrow a word from Lord Gao Yi of Great Zhou to ask Princess Xiliang, could it be that… the people of Xiliang have no shame?”
Xiao Rongyan’s already low and cold voice, with a hint of teasing, was so harsh that it made Li Tianfu want to draw his sword and chop down the Ninth Prince of Yan.
Li Tianfu sneered, “Yan State is trying to get close to the Great Zhou and team up with the Great Zhou to bully us in Xiliang!”
Sar Khan tightly grasped Yuchan, unable to suppress his murderous intent. He closed his eyes. A meeting… turned into a farce for Li Tianfu.
