"Your Majesty, Du Ruofu hasn't shown much yet, but he is a great master. This is the news we just learned."
"What!" Liang Jing was also shocked, he turned out to be a great master! It is simply unbelievable that the leader of a country is so powerful.
"anything else?"
"Gone."
Liang Jing frowned, "It's really a bit troublesome. He's a great master. It's not easy to keep him."
"Grandmaster, that is not something that ordinary people can imagine."
"Too."
…
The next morning.
Above the main hall, Liang Jing waved his hand and shouted, "The envoy of Xuanman Kingdom is here to see you!"
After a while, Du Ruofu led someone in. He also knew that when he came here, he was a minister, and there was a difference between a monarch and a minister, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Liang Jing nodded, "Master Chief Assistant, get up quickly."
"I have heard of your ability."
"It's just that the barbarian country specially sent an envoy to my country this time. Why? I am very curious."
"Please also ask Du Shoufu to explain it to me carefully."
"Your Majesty, we naturally want to have friendly exchanges with your country when we come here this time. We also want to have a good talk with your country."
"That's right. Your Majesty must be seeing the rise of our barbarian country. We, the barbarian country, don't ask for much. We only hope that your majesty can return the cities that our barbarian country occupied before!"
"At the same time, give us some food and cloth every year. This way, we can guarantee not to go south."
"This must be a very simple matter for His Majesty."
Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, he really came to seek peace!
But it is also a threat, that is, threatening them Dazhou, if they do not comply with their requirements!
Then let's go to war. Who will win or lose?
"Presumably, His Majesty does not want to see such a chaotic scene and speak out again."
"I hope that your majesty will be able to carry out the long and arduous task and think well of the people at the border and the people of Da Zhou."
"Hmph!" Liang Jing stood up with disdain, "Du Shoufu, do you look down on me too much? Do you look down on me, Da Zhou, too much?"
"Isn't the military strength of our Great Zhou stronger than that of your barbarian country?"
Du Ruofu sneered, "Your Majesty is right, but Your Majesty, fighting a war takes a lot of effort, and you can't get any benefits."
"We are doing this now to avoid minimizing losses."
"Besides, Your Majesty, our country is no longer the same as it used to be!"
"Haha." Liang Jing looked at it disdainfully, "Really? Then send troops to fight. We have seen the truth on the battlefield, so what are you trying to do with words here!"
"Your Majesty, there is really no need to rush this matter. Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. This is a very good thing."
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, you, Da Zhou, have just recovered their strength.
You probably don’t want to go to war so soon. You have just finished fighting another war. So how should you repay the money lost in the four southeastern cities? "
"Oh, Your Majesty, this is all I have to say."
"..."
After Du Ruofu said these words, he left the hall directly, leaving the ministers present looking at each other in shock.
At this moment, Prime Minister Yang Zhong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is indeed not suitable for fighting at this time. We should recuperate our strength. The demands made by the barbarian country are indeed not many."
"Maybe we can figure something out."
"this……"
Liang Jing was stunned! Unexpectedly, some ministers actually supported peace talks and no war.
But it’s quite normal, everyone will go out for their own benefit.
"Right Prime Minister, I want to hear your thoughts."
"Do you want to fight? Do you want to show me Da Zhou's bloody nature instead of letting others slaughter me!"
Right Prime Minister Wang An smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, logically speaking, we should indeed seek peace instead of fighting."
"But if Your Majesty insists on fighting, we ministers will definitely agree. In addition, Your Majesty, I learned that the Chief Assistant has become the real number one person in the entire Barbarian Kingdom."
"For some unknown reason, the Barbarian King seems to have been bewitched. He always listens to the words of his chief minister. In this way, they will become more and more greedy."
"If we choose to retreat this time, we will become more and more reckless until we are completely submerged."
Wang An then glanced at the ministers next to him, especially Yang Zhong, the Prime Minister of the Left. "You may not know, but our army has not fought with the Xiongnu in three years."
"In the past three years, if the Xiongnu becomes stronger and their troops become stronger, then we are no match at all, even with General Xiao He."
"So you should think carefully...whether you want to fight or not!"
…
At this time, all the ministers present had their own evil intentions, and some felt that they must be beaten! Their spirit must be dampened.
And some people think it can’t be fought! It would probably be dangerous if hit.
It is better to quietly accumulate power, and when the Zhou Dynasty really becomes strong, it can completely wipe out the barbarian country in one fell swoop.
"Okay, everyone, think about it carefully after you go back. I want an answer. Of course, whether you want to fight or not depends on my thoughts."
"In addition, there will be a big banquet tonight. I hope everyone can come to attend."
"yes!"
At this time, Du Ruofu simply tidied up Honglu Temple, and then quietly went to a brothel.
He was also very careful, for fear of being discovered by others, and did not bring his group of people with him.
A dignified chief assistant would actually go to a place like a brothel! It must not be simple to be so sneaky.
Fortunately, Lu Yun found someone to follow him early! Of course he knows how powerful the Grand Master is, and he will most likely notice it.
However, the people sent by Lu Yun are specialized tracking experts, so there will definitely be no problems. Even Ye Jiajia praised him, saying that his tracking is indeed difficult to achieve.
At the same time, in the palace.
After Liang Jing dismissed the court, he returned to his palace and slammed the table angrily. This was anger coming from his heart.
"hateful!"
"This is obviously threatening me!"
"Threaten the Great Zhou!"
"You are still negotiating with them. What are you talking about? They want my territory in Dazhou, as well as food and fabrics. What do they want?"
"This person named Du is really not simple."
Lu Yun quickly whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, I also think that this chief minister is not simple."
"If we really agree, then they will be greedy and try their best to negotiate with us."
"In this way, they can gain a lot of resources without losing any blood, and their own strength will become stronger."
"Alright, Xiao Yunzi, let me think about it carefully. I'm not in a hurry anyway. I have to receive envoys tonight."
