Wu Zhe and Concubine Qi chatted for two hours in the gauze pavilion on the pontoon bridge, but the people outside couldn't stay.
Many frontier generals are alcoholics. Drinking tea is boring, so they want to drink some wine. Especially when waiting for others, I can't sit still, and the feeling of thirst is the strongest.
As the saying goes, those who are waiting are not in a hurry, but those who are waiting are anxious to death.
The yarn pavilion in the middle of the river connected by the pontoon bridge is covered by thick gauze, so no one can be seen.
But no one dared to bother, it was a taboo thing.
"Women are really troublesome. This negotiation is just like buying and selling things. Why does it take so long?"
"That's right. If you say that women are slow to buy things, this negotiation can last for an hour or two."
All the generals whispered.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Frontier Army's cultivation level is not low, and he can't help but feel angry when he hears it.
But these generals under him are all warriors, so it is understandable to discuss these in a low voice.
Fortunately, the chief executive understands that there is no rush to negotiate, let alone a few hours, a few days, or even ten days and a half months are very possible.
Can the negotiation and dialogue between the two countries be decided overnight? He understood this truth, but the generals couldn't sit still.
A group of big men feel pain in their buttocks.
But both the commander and Prince Mo were there, so the drunkard generals could only roll their eyes wildly. Finally, in the name of Chu Gong, they slipped out and drank a lot of fat. When they came back, they all smothered their wine, sat down on their seats, and slowly fell asleep with their stomachs full.
Gradually, snoring started everywhere, and the commander-in-chief of the frontier army saw that it was really shameful, so he drove them away.
Those generals were embarrassed on the surface, but they were actually happy in their hearts. They all slipped away with a smirk.
As a result, the riverside on Wu Country's side was much cleaner.
The commander-in-chief hated that iron cannot be made into steel, and apologized to Prince Mo repeatedly.
Dugu Mo naturally didn't take it to heart, but began to think that Concubine Qi looked a bit like a person.
His cultivation base has reached the moon stage, so he has good eyesight, and he can see Concubine Qi clearly from a distance.
Soon, Dugu Mo already thought of Gong Xiaolu.
Could it be that I miss Gongxiaolu too much. That's the reason why everyone who sees the beauties in Qi country now thinks she looks like her? Dugu Mo doubted his feelings about appearance.
Gong Xiaolu couldn't be Concubine Qi, and his age was totally wrong. And if Concubine Qi has other female heirs, it should be reported that the yamen has already recorded it. Besides, judging from Gong Xiaolu's age, if it was born to Concubine Qi, it should be the second child. There should be no reason why the second child should not be known to outsiders. Could it be someone other than King Qi
Dugu Mo guessed wildly, but couldn't come up with a possibility that he could believe more than 60%.
Even if he killed him, he would never have imagined that the beautiful woman who haunted such a capable prince was actually an enemy prince in disguise...
In another way of saying that is both old-fashioned and fashionable, this is evil fate!
Fortunately, Gong Xiaolu's initial appearance was deliberately changed by Wu Zhe. Otherwise, there is a slight possibility of revealing his true identity now.
The first time Wu Zhe saw Gong Xiaolu in the inner palace of the capital of Qi was made up according to the appearance of Concubine Qi. So Wu Zhe almost mistaken the eldest son, who was very similar to his mother, as Concubine Qi.
But later Gong Xiaolu went out with Zong Zhilian, so he couldn't go out like this. After all, many people from 20 years ago are still alive, and even became important people, so it is very possible to recognize them.
So Wu Zhe helped Shi Zi use makeup to greatly change the details of his appearance. Although she still looked like a first-class beauty, she couldn't think of Concubine Qi at first glance.
So Dugu Mo sat by the riverside and fanned himself, and slowly combined Concubine Qi and Gong Xiaolu in his mind.
"Old Leopard. Have you noticed that Concubine Qi looks a lot like a person?" Dugu Mo suddenly asked softly.
"Who?" Old Leopard was curious.
"... Forget it. You really haven't seen that person before."
Now Leopard was even more curious. But look at what the master means. He didn't want to take the initiative to say it, so he tried to ask: "Could it be Miss Zhou Zhiruo?"
"How could it be!" Dugu Mo couldn't help laughing.
Although they are both big beauties, the two of them are completely incompatible. Now Dugu Mo felt that seeing Bao Lao felt so much, so it was even more nonsense for him to think that Gong Xiaolu resembled Concubine Qi.
He no longer took this matter to heart.
"Miss Zhou is negotiating, why haven't you come out yet?" Elder Bao was a little impatient.
If Leopard Lao is a very patient person. It's not like the Xuanwu level has been shackled at the New Moon realm for many years.
The state of mind is a very important hurdle on the path of cultivation after reaching the moon rank saint. Many people have accumulated a lot of profound energy, but their mood is not up to date, and they can't cross the border.
Old Leopard was more than thirty years older than Dugu Mo, and he was still at the same level, which was evident from this.
"Negotiation is a slow work and careful work. Especially when deciding on such a big matter. Both parties are very cautious. It is likely that today is just a test, and one or two hours are spent chatting about family affairs and flattering each other. Nothing substantive Talk about it." Dugu Mo explained a little.
"Ah?" Old Bao felt uncomfortable hearing it: "This kind of patience really has to be done by a woman."
Princess Qing smiled and said nothing.
Dugu Mo smiled and said: "It is estimated that tomorrow the two sides will make a kind of balance. The two sides may compete for poetry and prose skills, and for governing the country. Anyway, there must be a way to overwhelm the other party's arrogance. Get a head start in the negotiations."
While talking, Wu Zhe actually came out from the gauze booth.
"Come out!" Old Leopard felt as if his wife had given birth.
Wu Zhe walked lightly on the floating bridge in the river.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Wu Zhe smiled apologetically.
Dugu Mo and the others looked at her.
I don't know why, but I no longer have the slightest boredom of waiting. It seemed that her apologetic smile could make the man calm down all his anger.
Wu Zhe walked down the pontoon bridge with the support of Princess Qing, and said, "I'm afraid it will take more time tomorrow. Because Concubine Qi intends to... fight chess with me."
Everyone was surprised.
Wu Zhe casually talked about today's negotiations.
Old Leopard praised: "Sure enough, Prince Mo is right, today is a test. You will have to compete tomorrow."
"Although Concubine Qi must have high fighting spirit, but her mind is trapped by her beloved daughter, she must not perform well. Zhiruo, if you are skilled in chess, you can have a winning rate of more than 90%." Princess Qing said confidently.
After some polite greetings with the commander-in-chief of the frontier army, everyone went back to rest.
Wu Zhe and Princess Qing studied chess for several hours in the temporary tent. Of course this is Wu Zhe acting.
Concubine Qi returned to the Qi State camp on the other side of the river full of thoughts.
Going to bed under the service of the palace servants, she was thinking about Wu Zhe's plan until midnight: she never thought that Sha Ting would become Xiao Ruoyao's cover to save her...
