"It's okay, let's go into the back room."
This was the strangest thing about Zhao Wenhui. The prince usually found it difficult to lift the sword.
But every time he hugged her, it was like holding a child.
When Zhao Wenhui reacted, she found that Liu Qi had already carried her to the door of the side room.
Zhao Wenhui was a little panicked, but she didn't dare to struggle too much.
"Husband, it's really not possible. General Qin Wei may come over at any time."
"Besides, there are guards outside the door at this time, and they will definitely hear it."
Liu Qi stopped and looked at her with a wicked smile.
"Then why don't you just keep your voice down?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenhui's face suddenly turned red like a ripe apple.
"Husband, what are you talking about... This is beyond the control of the slave family..."
The more this happened, the more excited Liu Qi became.
I don’t know why, but this girl is neither as charming as Yang Mi nor as slutty as Chen Yuan.
But I just feel that there is an infinite attraction in her.
Probably because she was wearing men's clothing.
From this moment on, Liu Qi seemed to finally understand why so many men have this special hobby.
"ah!"
Zhao Wenhui was suddenly put on the bed. When Liu Qi was about to do something good, he suddenly heard a sound on the door.
"Your Highness."
It was the voice of a guard.
Liu Qi was a little unhappy. Drink loudly.
"What's the matter!"
"There is a gentleman downstairs who says he is looking for you."
"Didn't I tell you before that I won't see anyone?"
After a moment of silence outside. The guard's voice came again.
"This person asked me to tell you that his name is Lu Liang."
Liu Qidu had already climbed onto the bed. After hearing these words, he suddenly raised his body.
"What! Lu Liang is back?!"
After speaking, he grabbed Zhao Wenhui's arm.
"Let's go! I will take you to meet the fortune teller I told you about before."
But when he got there, Zhao Wenhui suddenly held his arm down.
"Husband...your highness."
Only then did Liu Qi realize that he was still holding her wrist. If he walked out of the door like this, wouldn't everyone else understand.
...
When they got downstairs, they saw Lu Liang standing in the yard with a smile on his face. He seemed much younger than before.
"Lu Liang meets His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Liu Qi hurried over and helped him up enthusiastically.
"Come on, come on, we don't have so many etiquettes, why did you come back so soon? According to my calculation, it should take at least five or six days."
"Your Highness, I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
As he said that, he looked around.
Liu Qi understood immediately.
"Let's go upstairs and talk."
Arrived at the door. Look at the guard who just reported.
"You all, please go downstairs and keep watch. Except for General Qin Wei when he comes back, no one else is allowed to come up and will disappear. Do you understand?"
"I obey my orders!"
When they walked into the house, Zhao Wenhui was very sensible and immediately prepared tea for the two of them.
"Your Highness, this is..."
"Her name is Zhao Wenhui. She is my new personal guard. I will tell you later what happened during my trip. Please tell me how it went to the Female Empire this time."
"Look at your springy face, you must be nourished."
puff!
When Lu Liang's tea came to his mouth, he didn't know whether it was because of the burn or because of the prince's words.
Zhao Wenhui clenched her fist and covered her mouth. Your Highness really knows everything.
"Your Highness, Xiao Min's visit to the Kingdom of Zhou is indeed quite shocking. This country is almost exclusively women, with very few men, and their status is extremely low. Where Xiao Min is, he is really not used to it."
"Have you met the Empress? How does she look? What's her figure like?"
"Ahem."
Suddenly hearing Zhao Wenhui cough twice, Liu Qi realized that he had made a mistake and immediately changed the topic.
"What did she tell you?"
"Your Highness, don't be anxious. Let me tell you in detail."
"When we arrived at the female empire, we were arranged to go to the post house. According to your instructions, we met with many Korean merchants before meeting the empress. In just three days, the empress summoned us."
Liu Qi became excited after hearing this.
"Then what?"
"When the grassroots arrived at Fengyi Palace, they directly informed the empress of the minister's intentions."
"I have to say that the empress is truly magnificent. Although she is over forty years old, she looks like a girl in her twenties."
"The most important thing is that she has such a power that I have never seen even in the emperors of other countries."
When he heard this, Liu Qi was already facing the female empire.
After defeating the Huns this time, I will go and see everything.
"Go on."
"After the Cao Min finished speaking, the empress asked the ministers for their opinions. Two voices immediately appeared. One was in favor of the alliance with our Daqing, and the other was to let the empress reject the Cao Min."
"There were a lot of objections, and some people moved out of the grassroots to meet Korean businessmen. The empress was thinking about it, and she suddenly became angry and said that she wanted to sacrifice me to the flag to show her alliance with the Huns."
Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this.
It must have been very thrilling for him to be able to picture the scene at that time.
"Then how did you solve it?"
"The common people readily agreed. Not only did they not resist, but they also told the empress that they wanted the heads of the common people to be hung on the city wall for everyone to see."
"Oh? Why are you doing this, sir?"
"Your Highness, if the female empire really wanted to form a firm alliance with the Xiongnu, why would she summon the grassroots people? Therefore, the grassroots people took a gamble. This move of the female emperor must be a test. I, Daqing, are determined to make an alliance with the Xiongnu, and Sincerity.”
Liu Qi suddenly realized.
"Sir, you are smart, please continue."
"Sure enough, just when the Cao Min was about to be taken out by the guards, the empress stopped the Cao Min."
"After that, I asked about the Korean businessmen. Xiaomin answered truthfully. It was just for some business. After all, Caomin is also a businessman now."
"Then, the grassroots began to analyze the interests of Daqing and the Xiongnu to the female empire with the female emperor. Finally, they said that I, Daqing, originally intended to help the female empire to seize the Galucin Hetao from the Xiongnu and use all the resources here. Think of it as a gift to the female empire. To show my sincerity for Daqing."
Although he was not present at the scene, a scene suddenly appeared in Liu Qi's mind, where Lu Liang was in the imperial palace of the female empire, fighting with the Confucian scholars.
Just thinking about it makes me feel very satisfied.
"Then, does the empress agree?"
However, Lu Liang's answer made Liu Qi's smile freeze suddenly.
"Your Highness, the female empire has not agreed."
"What? No consent!"
Seeing the prince's anxious look, Lu Liang quickly raised his hand to ask him to calm down.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, don't be anxious."
"The female empire doesn't completely disagree. They said they can cooperate with me in Daqing to launch an attack on the Xiongnu and occupy the Nagaluqin Hetao."
"However, if they want to cooperate for a long time in the future, they have to meet a very important condition. This is also one of the reasons why the grassroots came back in a hurry."
