"What do you think, let's open another hot pot restaurant?" Chunfeng said slowly while sucking in the air-conditioning to reduce the spiciness.
"Well, not bad, but the taste may not be acceptable to everyone." Baili Mochen also gently sucked in the cold air.
"Well, this can have many flavors, and it can also be less spicy." Chunfeng lowered his head and continued to hold the mutton in the pot, and said lightly.
Can it be made less spicy? So why is it so spicy this time? A certain prince cursed in his heart.
"Well, can you make it less spicy next time? Madam..." Baili Mochen finally couldn't help it and turned to look at Chunfeng.
"Well, okay." Chunfeng nodded and said in agreement.
She didn't mean it. She thought the chili pepper wasn't very spicy, so she added a little more when her hands were shaking. But the taste was really good, even though it was so spicy that her head was about to smoke.
In this way, the hot pot restaurant plan was temporarily included in Chunfeng's new business plan.
In the morning of the next day, the eldest prince of Liaodong came to see him. It was still King Yao who led the emperor to take care of political affairs.
"Dugu City, Liaodong, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Yao." Dugu City stood in the main hall, wearing a large cloak, looking very noble and somewhat polite.
"Eldest Prince, please get up!" Baili Mochen raised his hand, lightly opened his thin lips, and said calmly.
"Thank you so much, King Yao!" Dugu Cheng straightened up his waist that was bent in salute, looked straight at the people in the high hall and said: "I came here specifically for the reconciliation between the two countries, and I hope that King Yao can spare some free time in his busy schedule. , discuss this with me."
Dugu Cheng, the prince of Liaodong, spoke neither humble nor arrogantly, with sincerity on his face.
"This is natural. It's just that Liaodong sent the eldest prince here this time, but can he make the decision on behalf of the entire Liaodong?" Baili Mochen said expressionlessly.
"This is natural!" The eldest prince said confidently without any hesitation.
"Well, tomorrow the king will hold a banquet in Hanqing Hall to entertain the prince and cleanse him from the dust." This time, Baili Mochen changed his previous attitude towards the Liaodong envoy and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dugu Cheng bowed and thanked him, thinking that King Yao is not as easy to get close to as in the legend!
As everyone knows, in Baili Mochen's eyes, Liaodong finally sent someone who could talk.
The second day was at Hanqing Hall.
"The prince of Liaodong has come all the way. A glass of wine to wash away the prince's dust, please!" Baili Mochen picked up the glass of wine in front of him and gently raised it in front of him and said calmly.
Although the other party came to seek peace, he still had to show some respect, and this eldest prince was someone Baili Mochen could barely get used to.
Because Princess Lianhua was also present at the peace talks, Baili Mochen specially called Chunfeng, the Seventh Prince and Chunyu.
The person with the highest status here is King Yao. When he moves, everyone below him will raise their glasses and drink together.
"Your Majesty, you are very polite. This glass of wine should be dedicated to your Majesty Yao. I hope that this misunderstanding between the two countries can be clarified and the old friendship can be restored."
Dugu Cheng also stood up politely and said with some respect to the person above him.
After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
But his eyes tightened when he touched the people around Baili Mochen.
Why is it her
Isn't that the woman I saw at Piaoxiangju the day before yesterday? she...
When he saw Chunfeng's face clearly, Dugu City was stunned for a moment, but it was only for a moment. After all, this was in the palace of Tian'an, and the people here were all of extraordinary status.
I can't tolerate a little carelessness on my part.
But that's right. Seeing that the person who was talking to her that day was the shopkeeper of Piaoxiangju. They all said that Piaoxiangju was a property under the name of Princess Yao, and she was wearing a woman's bun that day. He should have thought of it earlier. She belongs to Princess Yao.
Thinking of this, Dugu Cheng's eyes became a little sad. Unexpectedly, the person who made him feel a little excited for the first time in his life was actually Princess Yao...
Haha, should this be said that he has good vision, or should it be said that he is unlucky
But it seems that now is not the time to think about these things. Dugu Cheng, who put aside his distracting thoughts and sat down, continued.
"King Yao, since it is me, Liaodong, who is asking for peace this time, I will not beat around the bush. I, Liaodong, are willing to return the six cities in Liaodong that we previously occupied, withdraw our troops, and never invade Tianan again. I hope that the prince can estimate the people of the two countries." , so that they can avoid the devastation of war and live and work in peace and contentment.
Dugu Cheng was also a clean and tidy person, so he spoke directly.
"The six cities of the Huns that the prince mentioned were originally part of my Tian'an possessions, but you just took a share of the pie. It's natural to return them now. As for the retreat, you asked for peace, so that's even more natural. My king I have always refused to offend others unless they offend me, but this time your country wants to take advantage of the war between Tianan and the Huns to carve up the fertile land of Tianan. This is really shameful. Now you just want me to withdraw my troops in such a simple way. , Do you really think that our hundreds of thousands of troops in Tianan are just decoration? "
After listening to Dugu Cheng's words, Baili Mochen put down the cup in his hand and said calmly.
"King Yao, I, Liaodong, did not do this intentionally. It's just that my father was bewitched by the treacherous minister and rashly launched an army against your country. This was not my intention in Liaodong. I hope King Yao will understand, and my father has already killed the treacherous minister. kill."
Listening to Baili Mochen's unyielding words, Dugu Cheng was not in a hurry and just explained calmly.
"In this case, the King of Liaodong is not to blame for this incident, but I, Tianan, lost hundreds of thousands of grain and grass due to this incident, as well as a lot of military expenses. How should this account be calculated?" Baili Mochen said Li was playing with the fine white jade cup and sounded like he understood them very well.
But before Dugu Cheng could speak, he added: "Otherwise, I won't make it difficult for you. In addition to the six Xiongnu cities you returned, there are also six cities along the Qandong line from Yuancheng to Xucheng. And transfer it to my name, Tian'an. How about you, Liaodong, pay tribute to me, Tian'an, a hundred fine Eastern pearls every year?"
What? Six cities in Qiandong? Do you want a hundred fine Dongzhu every year
Princess Lianhua, who was listening quietly on the side, widened her eyes in surprise when she heard Baili Mochen's lion opening his mouth. What's the difference between this and Ming Zhan
You must know that there are only about 300 good Dongzhu in the whole country of Liaodong every year!
He easily took away a third of it with just one opening of his mouth, which was a good idea.
"King Yao..." Princess Lianhua couldn't help shouting.
But Dugu Cheng grabbed her and glared at her fiercely.
"King Yao, are these conditions a bit too harsh?" Dugu Cheng forced Lianhua to sit down and said in a not so good tone.
"Is it harsh? Is this a discount given for your sake, the eldest prince?" Baili Mochen said lightly the new vocabulary he had learned from Chunfeng a few days ago.
