The early winter nights come quickly.
As soon as the sky darkens, the night wind blows, making the trees in the garden whistle.
Cheng Wanwan's luggage and everything else were delivered intact by Xirong Kingdom. She put on thicker clothes and followed the two maids out of the courtyard wall.
After going out, I saw the cold palace at a glance. The sound of wind whistling was terrifying to listen to.
The two maids were not from the palace and were very curious about Leng Gong, but they did not dare to look more and hurried away.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, I finally arrived at the place where the banquet was held, which was the main hall where the Xirong Kingdom held meetings. At this time, many people had already arrived. The concubines and ministers were sitting in their respective positions. The king and queen at the top were still there for the time being. empty.
As soon as Cheng Wanwan arrived, the Prime Minister stood up and greeted her with his arms raised: "Mrs. Sui is here."
He was a powerful minister of the Xirong Kingdom. He stood up to greet him. Naturally, others followed suit. Countless people in the hall saluted Cheng Wanwan.
Cheng Wanwan twitched the corner of his mouth. It was a good deal to get such a high courtesy for a bag of hybrid rice seeds.
The yield per mu of hybrid rice is indeed high, but it has a fatal flaw: it cannot save seeds for the next year. Her so-called sincerity is actually a sinkhole.
She returned her hand and said, "The Prime Minister and everyone are welcome."
The palace servant led her to the seat next to the Prime Minister. Generally, only first-rank ministers could sit here.
But she sat down here, and the courtiers below did not show any dissatisfaction, but just looked at her curiously.
As soon as she sat down, King Xirong and Princess Taiping arrived.
The king looked about to be in his early forties, wearing a golden and black royal robe and a pure gold red bead crown on his head. He exuded a majestic and murderous aura.
"No courtesy at all."
King Xirong sat down on the dragon chair, and Princess Taiping sat down beside him.
"I summoned all the ministers to the palace for a banquet today to welcome Mrs. Sui." King Xirong said loudly, "There is a saying in the country of Dayu that it is a great pleasure to have guests coming from far away. Mrs. Sui is a guest, but this After a meal, it’s time to be friends, right?”
Cheng Wanwan met the eyes of the King of Xirong with a standard fake smile on his face: "Thank you Xirong Kingdom for the hospitality. Such hospitality is naturally a courtesy that only occurs between friends."
"Hahahaha!" King Xirong laughed, and then his smile faded, "Where are the other guests from Dayu Kingdom, why haven't they been invited here too?"
After he said this, the Prime Minister dared to ask his subordinates to invite people.
After about a cup of tea, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the hall.
It must have been at least six or seven days since we last met. For Cheng Wanwan, these short six or seven days were all torture.
She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Zhao Sanniu. When she saw that her son was fine, the big stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She then looked at King Qin He Xiao, Ruan Mingzhu, Shen Dongming and other officials. They were all fine and fine. The servants like Mrs. Qi, Cheng Yi, Cheng Ding, Gu Leng and Gu Bing were also following behind. They didn't seem to have suffered much... and others. More than a hundred guards did not come with him, but for now, there should be no fear for their lives.
A group of people from Dayu Kingdom were brought in and sat at the lowest position, some distance away from Cheng Wanwan.
She could only communicate with Zhao Sanniu with her eyes. The boy's eyes were full of anger. He held chopsticks in his hand and wanted to use them as weapons to fight with the people of Xirong.
Cheng Wanwan shook his head gently and comforted him with his eyes, signaling him to calm down.
Although Zhao Sanniu was a little reckless, he still listened to her words. Under the comfort of her eyes, his restless mood slowly calmed down.
However, at this moment, King Qin suddenly stood up.
He picked up the bowls and plates on the table and smashed them on the ground: "How dare a bastard from the Xirong Kingdom imprison me for so many days. Do you know who I am? I am the King of Qin of the Dayu Kingdom and the only sibling of the Emperor of the Dayu Kingdom. Come at me if you have anything to do! Only young people attack women, bullying women is nothing..."
There was silence in the hall at first, and then two guards came out from the corner and directly held down King Qin.
King Qin continued to curse, and the two guards were not polite. They raised their hands and started to greet King Qin, specifically slapping King Qin in the face. King Qin screamed after being beaten.
The King of Xirong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, did not stop him, but drank a glass of wine leisurely with a playful smile on his lips.
Cheng Wanwan's face turned dark.
King Qin jumped out at this time, revealed his identity, and attracted firepower. It was obvious that he wanted to block the knife for her.
But he didn't even look at it. She was cleanly dressed and sitting at the top. It looked like she was well received. Her situation was much better than that of their group. He jumped out and yelled, "This is not right." Looking for a fight?
He was already injured, and after being beaten so violently, he was probably going to have to lie down for a few more days.
Moreover, the Xirong Kingdom must have known that he was the King of Qin and locked him up, which showed that they did not take him seriously.
"King, he is indeed the King of Qin of our Kingdom of Dayu." Cheng Wanwan stood up, "The King of Qin is the most noble prince of our Kingdom of Dayu. Please show mercy."
"Oh, it turns out it's really King Qin. Why don't you stop quickly?" King Xirong put down his wine glass. "The corners of King Qin's mouth are bleeding. Take him down and ask the Chinese doctor to diagnose and treat him."
Two guards dragged the King of Qin out who was almost unconscious.
The other people in Dayu Kingdom were all angry, but they did not dare to explode. Xirong even dared to beat the King of Qin. If they opened their mouths, they would definitely be beaten to death.
"Why didn't Mrs. Sui tell me earlier?" Wang shook his head, "Who else in this group has a distinguished status? Mrs. Sui, please tell me quickly and I will be well taken care of."
Cheng Wanwan knew that it was enough to just listen to these words. If he really took it seriously, he would not know how he would die in the future.
She lowered her eyebrows and said: "Since I promised the Prime Minister to work for Xirong Kingdom, I want to get results as soon as possible. My goal is to prove to Xirong Kingdom the yield per mu of my rice seeds before the end of the year. Time is a little tight, and I need to Some familiar people came to help, and I also asked Wang Tongrong to give me some advice."
When it came to business, Wang's face became more serious, and he nodded: "Just tell me how many people Mrs. Sui needs."
"First of all, please prepare ten acres of fertile land. Only people from Dayu know how to farm. Let the guards who are still alive farm the fields according to my method." Cheng Wanwan lowered his eyebrows and said, "All rice seeds need to be carefully selected and cultivated. , only people who are familiar with this process can do it. Everyone around me has to help, and the data needs to be recorded after planting. These adults have been working with me for a long time. I need their help, and I also need King Qin to control the overall situation..."
Almost everyone present was named by her, and she was so reasonable that Xirong Kingdom simply couldn't refuse.
The King of Xirong chuckled lightly. He understood the woman's thoughts at a glance. Wasn't she just afraid that he would turn his back on her and kill these Dayu people?
No matter, as long as she can really prove that this rice seed can survive in Xirong Kingdom, it doesn't matter if she agrees to this condition.
When the rice is planted next year and there is a good harvest in autumn, and there is plenty of food and grass, then he can let Xirong's cavalry travel all over Dayu...
Thinking of this, the King of Xirong was filled with passion. He reached out and took the two maids standing behind him into his arms, and started teasing them as if no one else was watching.
Cheng Wanwan glanced at Princess Taiping, and saw that the princess had a calm face, without any emotional fluctuations on her face. It was obvious that this kind of thing had happened so many times that the princess had become numb...
