Fu Tingye frowned, looked at her seriously, and said nothing for a long time.
When Wu Xinyao was stared at by him like this, she could not help but feel hot despite her cheerful temperament. She suppressed her shyness and said with a hard tone: "Back then... back then, it was you who said you wanted to marry me. Why, I don't remember. ?"
"Remember." Fu Tingye nodded lightly, with an indifferent expression, "However, you rejected me at the time, so I didn't expect that you would suddenly ask me to fulfill my promise after so many years."
"Who, who wants you to fulfill your promise?!" Wu Xinyao's cheeks turned red instantly, not knowing whether it was anger or shame, "Fu Tingye! The marriage is for the good of the two countries, otherwise you think I am willing to marry you?!"
"Princess, please be patient." Fu Tingye's tone was still distant, "Liao soldiers are marching south to press the border. I, the Qi Dynasty, will not stand idly by. It is getting late today. Princess, please go back to your tent and rest. I will give you an answer tomorrow."
Wu Xinyao was frustrated by Fu Tingye's attitude. She always thought highly of herself and did not bother to beg anyone in a low voice. After hearing Fu Tingye's words, she immediately turned around and left without even saying "goodbye".
Fu Tingye seemed to be used to her domineering behavior and didn't care.
After Wu Xinyao left, he walked slowly to the long black desk and sat down, spreading out a blank piece of paper.
He thought about what Hua Qingxue said about selling weapons in his mind, turning it over from beginning to end until he was confident. He took up a pen and wrote down the feasibility of the matter one by one, stating the pros and cons. Finally stamped his general seal.
Selling weapons may seem audacious, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that as long as it is done properly, the benefits will be endless.
If it can be established on a large scale, Daqi will have endless wealth in the future, and its military power will become an existence that transcends many countries. Even Daliao can only look forward to it and sigh.
Fu Tingye copied another copy of what he had written and added some content.
The first one was presented to the emperor as a memorial, and the second one was to be handed over to Zuo Yuhua, the prime minister of the dynasty.
The person in charge of the treasury is the Ministry of Hubu, and the Minister of Hubu is a person of Prime Minister Zuo. Fu Tingye believes that no one knows the emptiness of Daqi's treasury and the embarrassment of national power better than Zuo Yuhua.
Speaking of which... maybe it was because the country was extremely poor that Prince Ning was so "reasonable" in giving up the throne
When Fu Tingye thought of this, he couldn't help but smile with an unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth.
He folded and rolled up the two pieces of paper, stuffed them into a slender bamboo tube, sealed them with fire paint, and handed them to the soldiers outside.
These two secret letters will be sent to Shengjing overnight. If the post station is urgent, it can be delivered in seven or eight days at most.
Fu Tingye stood outside the camp, looking up at the summer night starry sky—
He was suddenly glad that that night Li Jingnan, as the crown prince, forced him to return to Renqiu to rescue Hua Qingxue. Otherwise, he might really miss her...
Although this little emperor was a little incompetent, he loved everything. Because of Hua Qingxue, Fu Tingye could actually look at him more favorably.
When the time comes, ask him for a marriage proposal.
Fu Tingye thought so and turned around to return to his tent. Unexpectedly, not far away from his tent, a woman bit her lower lip and looked at him unwillingly.
- Wu Xinyao put down the door curtain angrily and entered the tent.
Her two maids follow her to the battlefield all year round, so they are also dressed up in heroic attire.
"It's incredible that ice cubes can be made on a midsummer day." The maid pointed at the square ice cubes in the ice basin and couldn't help but said in surprise, "I heard that the Chinese girl also made this ice. If we can If we invite her back, won't we be able to use ice in Nanzhao in the future?"
The climate in Nanzhao is warm. Even in winter, it is rare to see snow. The lake water is warm and will not freeze, so there is no way to cool down by hiding ice.
"Is there really such a woman in the world? I don't believe it anyway." Another maid said with a smile, "A woman who can go into battle and kill enemies like our princess is unparalleled in the world. How could a woman who can do this suddenly appear?" Weapons? Those rumors are so ridiculous, and they say they have three heads, six arms and eight eyes! Is that still a human being? Is it a monster? Haha... "
"You say it's so scary. So where did this ice cube come from? Is there really a magic trick?"
Wu Xinyao turned a deaf ear to the maid's words, and sat silently by the bed.
When the two maids saw Wu Xinyao coming back, they hurriedly stopped their smiles and brought a basin to help Wu Xinyao wash and change her clothes.
"Princess, have you met General Fu?" one of the maids asked her.
"Yeah." Wu Xinyao couldn't help but frown when she mentioned Fu Tingye. Her beautiful pupils like glass showed some indescribable emotions. Maybe she was aggrieved, maybe she was angry. In short, she was very unhappy.
When the maids saw it, they kept silent.
Wu Xinyao did not complain, bit her lip, and said: "One hundred thousand Liao soldiers are pressing down on the border. I must bring reinforcements back. No matter what, I have to make him agree... I can't let my father down... "
The maid asked cautiously: "Did General Fu put forward conditions that were difficult for the princess to accept?"
"No." Wu Xinyao's face was extremely ugly. "He didn't give me any promises. He just told me to wait and give me an answer tomorrow. I was worried that he mistakenly thought that we were not sincere, so I proposed marriage to him. He actually … actually disagreed!”
The maid was shocked!
Wu Xinyao is a princess, with a noble status and a delicate and beautiful appearance. I don’t know how many princes and grandsons want to marry her, but Fu Tingye actually doesn’t agree? !
How can this be? !
The maids looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "Could it be that... General Fu still holds a grudge over that incident?"
"Impossible!" Wu Xinyao objected! A pair of beautiful eyes gave the other party a sharp look, "At that time, he and I had different positions! If he were me, I would do the same thing!"
"Yes, the princess had no choice but to do so at that time, but if we can get married, the interests will be the same, and naturally such a thing will never happen again."
The maid quickly spoke to comfort her, and Wu Xinyao's face brightened slightly.
"Wait until tomorrow... I must make it clear to him." Wu Xinyao murmured to herself, making up her mind.
The reason for rejecting him at the beginning was because the two countries were at odds with each other, and at that time Fu Tingye was only a member of the valiant cavalry. How could she, a majestic princess of a country, commit herself to marrying? There's no way they can.
But now... Fu Tingye is already a general of a country, and has been granted the title of King of Zhenbei. He has his own fiefdom and army, and with the Liao soldiers at the forefront, his father will definitely agree.
But Wu Xinyao didn't expect... Fu Tingye would disagree.
She thought of Fu Tingye's indifference and alienation, and her heart was filled with bitterness before she knew it. Could it be that he really still hated her
…
The next day, Wu Xinyao got up early.
She had something on her mind and didn't sleep well at night. When she got up, she was thinking about whether to go to Fu Tingye on her own initiative or wait for Fu Tingye to send someone to invite her.
She is a proud person. She hit a snag at Fu Tingye's place yesterday, so she doesn't want to go there today.
But reinforcements were imminent, and she had to get an answer as soon as possible.
When Wu Xinyao thought of her own noble princess, but she was repeatedly humbled in front of Fu Tingye, she became angry and wanted to ask him...
Just as I was worrying, news came from outside that the imperial edict from Emperor Da Qi had arrived!
The maid came in from the outside in surprise and said, "Emperor Da Qi gave that Chinese girl a title! The imperial edict has arrived, and someone is waiting to receive it!"
Wu Xinyao thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out, "Let's go and have a look!"
As soon as I left the camp, I found that many people were heading there. Most of them were craftsmen from the weapons supervisor, probably to watch the excitement.
Wu Xinyao heard someone in the crowd shouting—
"The Emperor has given Miss Hua a title! Go and have a look!"
"Hurry up, the father-in-law who delivers the message is right in front!"
Wu Xinyao was confused, did Miss Hua really exist? Isn't Fu Tingye the one making nonsense
Wu Xinyao went there with her maids and guards, and saw the tall and muscular Fu Tingye from a distance.
He stood together with the father-in-law who delivered the imperial edict. He didn't know what he said. The father-in-law looked embarrassed and shook his head vigorously.
At this time, Wu Xinyao had already approached, and she heard Fu Tingye say something vaguely: "... The weather was too hot, so I took the order for her, so as not to have to worry about having to run around. Now it's all up to her to develop weapons for our army." , I guess you don’t want to let her suffer, right?”
When Wu Xinyao heard this, she felt like she was laughing or crying!
This Fu Tingye is simply ridiculous! Whoever the imperial edict is written to must be the one who receives the edict. How can someone use the hot weather as an excuse to substitute someone to receive the edict? !
Hot day! Fortunately he could speak out! Even if the other party is too ill to accept the order, he should be replaced by a relative. What on earth is Fu Tingye thinking? !
There was a sneer at the corner of Wu Xinyao's mouth. It seemed that this so-called Chinese girl really didn't exist. It was a conspiracy made up by Fu Tingye to deceive the world! She just didn't expect that Fu Tingye was so brave that he even dared to deceive the emperor? !
Now that the imperial edict has arrived at the military camp, the Chinese girl is nowhere to be seen. Wu Xinyao is very curious. Is Fu Tingye so powerful now? Not even afraid of the crime of deceiving the emperor!
Fu Tingye whispered a few words to the fair-faced and beardless father-in-law. The father-in-law reluctantly nodded, cleared his throat, and announced the imperial edict—
He was given a villa in a separate courtyard, gold and jewelry, and the wife of a military commander.
Commander
Wu Xinyao slowly read these two words in her mouth.
Specializing in the military of the world, oh, so impressive... But is there really such a person in this world? Fu Tingye never thought about how it would end in the future
After reciting the imperial edict, Fu Tingye sent his father-in-law to rest in the tent.
There were cheers all around! There was great joy!
Seeing the joyful expressions of these craftsmen, Wu Xinyao's originally firm thoughts became loosened again...
Seeing how happy they were, it seemed like they were truly happy for that Chinese girl... Could it be that such a person really existed
If it's true…
If it's true…
What is the relationship between Fu Tingye and her
Wu Xinyao felt that her heart was sinking.
