"Duobang, since you have said this, I will not hide it. I want to write a letter to your king. I hope that our two countries will never stop fighting and coexist peacefully in the future."
After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, Duobang was dumbfounded. In his opinion, Chen Xiaobei still had a somewhat bookish air.
The two countries have been fighting each other for so many years and have killed so many people on each other. It is simply a fantasy that a letter can make the two countries reconcile.
Thinking of this, Duobang looked at Chen Xiaobei, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "Chen Prince Consort, if I agree to take the opportunity to return to the Great Earth Kingdom, wouldn't your plan be in vain?"
After listening to Duobang's words, Chen Xiaobei nodded slightly, and then gave the other party an approving look, indicating that he would continue.
Duobang continued, "Of course, I, Duobang, will not do such an unintentional act, but the ugly words are ahead. I believe I can help you take them back, but whether the emperor will listen or not, that is not something I can change."
After listening to Duobang's words, Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly and said, "It all depends on man-made things. As long as you think about it, it will always come true. The current situation is here. If our two countries continue to fight, I am afraid that both sides will lose, and the country of Daliang in the east will suffer. Got a bargain."
Duobang said respectfully again, "I once heard someone say that it was Chen's consort who took the initiative to suggest that my beheading sentence should be moved from spring to autumn."
"Today, many countries are here to express their gratitude. If you and I meet on the battlefield someday..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Han took a step forward, pointed at Duobang, and began to curse, "Duobang, Prince Consort Chen was kind enough to spare your life. If you dare to utter such arrogant words, don't be afraid that I will chop you with a knife."
"Chen Prince Consort has to bear the infamy of everyone in the world and protect you from death. It's a good thing for you. Instead of repaying his kindness, he actually wants to fight with us again. In this case, I might as well end your life with a single blow now."
Being scolded by Bai Han, Duobang's face turned green and red for a while, and finally he sighed.
"Captain Bai, you are right. I, Duobang, am not a ruthless person. If I am lucky enough to return to Starlight City, I will definitely advise my emperor to stop fighting and live in peace with the Great Cang Kingdom."
Chen Xiaobei nodded slightly, knowing that what he said this time was the truth.
But he understood better that it was obviously impossible to make Jopson submit obediently with just a few weak words.
Chen Xiaobei looked at Duobang and said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, my subordinates were not very obedient. They came to your Qingguang City and made a big fuss. I heard that even your national master suffered."
After hearing these words, Duobang's expression changed. Of course he understood the meaning of Chen Xiaobei's words. It seemed to be an apology, but in fact it was full of threats, that is, even your national master's head , I can chop them off if I want, and it won’t be difficult to take the lives of your emperor and prince.
After Chen Xiaobei finished saying this, he turned to Bai Han and said, "Go and prepare a fast horse and send it off early tomorrow morning. Duobang will be on his way."
After saying that, Chen Xiaobei stood up and left directly.
Of course Bai Han knew how to cover. When Chen Xiaobei left, he sighed, "You kid, you're lucky. Chen's consort is in a happy mood today. If you catch up with him and he's not happy, I'm afraid your head will fall off!" "
"Did you know? Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has retreated behind the scenes, the person who really holds the power is the Prince Consort!"
After listening to Bai Han's ramble, Duobang's heart tightened. If everything was as Bai Han said, then it would be easy for Chen Xiaobei to kill him, and it would be very sincere to let him go back to persuade Jopson to surrender this time. .
Thinking of this, Duobang bowed and saluted Bai Han again and said, "Guard Bai, I, Duobang, swear that I will try my best to mediate when I return and let our two countries get back together!"
Bai Han didn't answer the question, he came forward and grabbed his collar, and said coldly, "Duobang, please listen to me clearly, you can sleep for one hour from now on, and you will be asleep after one hour." I’ll get out.”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and some policemen came forward and escorted Duobang away. After waiting for him to go away, Bai Han turned around and went to the next door, where Chen Xiaobei was drinking tea.
"Prince-in-law, he is sent away. I just told him to leave in an hour. I will send people to monitor him along the way to ensure that he returns to the Great Earth Kingdom!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded lightly. Duobang was an important chess piece and he naturally kept an eye on it, making sure nothing went wrong.
…
At this time, the New Year atmosphere in Hetou Village was almost complete, but Cui Hongyu seemed less happy. The weather began to gradually warm up, and the demand for charcoal in the city suddenly decreased. What should the people do next? Think carefully for yourself.
After lunch that day, Cui Hongyu took Chen Qiaoer and they sat in the yard to bask in the sun. At this time, Qiu Mei walked in with a smile.
Seeing her coming, Cui Hongyu also stood up quickly. Now Qiu Mei had already become Dachun's second wife, so Cui Hongyu respectfully called her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, come and sit down."
Then he turned to Chen Qiao'er and said, "Qiao'er, hurry up and get some dried fruits for your sister-in-law."
Qiu Mei waved her hand, "No, no, I happened to be passing by and came over to say a few words."
As she spoke, Qiu Mei raised her hand and took out an apple from her pocket and stuffed it into Chen Qiaoer's hand.
"I just happened to bring an apple for you to eat."
Seeing this, Cui Hongyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I have a lot of apples at home. You should keep them to eat. Besides, you still have to nurse the baby."
"It's okay, it's okay. Dachun went to the mountains yesterday and brought down some fruits. He was too embarrassed to come and said he didn't want me to come and tell you."
Seeing this, Cui Hongyu smiled and waved his hand, "Hey, sister-in-law, what are you talking about? That fruit is wild and not mine. Anyone can pick it. It's okay."
After saying a few more polite words, Qiu Mei changed the subject and said, "Kuyu, I see you're not very happy."
"Well, it's warm today and there are fewer people using charcoal. I don't know what we can do in this village in the future. Brother Xiaobei didn't say anything before he left."
After hearing this, Qiu Mei also sighed, "Oh, I don't think about it anymore. Our ancestors have been digging in the soil for generations, so we just have to farm the land honestly."
As he spoke, he took the apple on the table and stuffed it into Chen Qiaoer's hand again.
The fruits brought down from the mountains years ago were basically sold out. It can be said that Cui Hongyu didn't keep any of them, so Chen Qiaoer didn't eat apples for a long time.
Chen Qiaoer was still very sensible. She took the apple into the kitchen and cut it into small pieces, put it on a plate and brought it out.
After taking a bite of the sweet apple, Qiu Mei sighed again, "We usually farm, but after autumn, we go to the mountains to carry some fruits to sell. We have some spare money in our hands and can just buy new clothes for the New Year."
