"Say it again?" Shi Gandang asked angrily, "You want me, Princess Zhou, to marry you as your concubine to make amends? Mr. Liu, there should be a limit to your jokes!"
Liu Mo spread his hands and said, "Master Shi, you were joking first!" He responded, "If you ask me to cede Jiang Lin Mansion to Daxia in return for 500,000 years old coins every year, your joke will be even bigger!"
It was already the third day of March, and Liu Mo had stayed in Jiangyuan Town for nearly a month. Today, according to the will of the emperors of the two countries, the two sides started the third peace talks.
"Master Liu, this general is just conveying the will of His Majesty the Emperor!" Shi Gandang said solemnly.
"What a coincidence, so is I!" Liu Mo replied with a playful smile.
"Your emperor, will you ask me, Princess Zhou, to marry the deputy general? Or a concubine!" Shi Gandang roared again, like an angry beast.
"Why not?" Liu Mo shrugged again, "Isn't the Princess of Xingluo Kingdom my concubine? She is already pregnant with my flesh and blood. No, this is the family letter. If you don't believe me, take a look!"
Liu Mo didn't lie. At the end of February, Ayina did send a letter. The letter mentioned that she was confirmed to be pregnant with Liu Mo's flesh and blood.
At the same time, he also mentioned the gathering of the Zhou Dynasty army on the Xingluo border and the reinforcements from Daxia.
"How can I, Princess Dazhou, be compared to the bitch of Xingluo?" Shi Gandang roared angrily, "Where is your emperor's imperial edict? I don't believe it, so I took out the imperial edict and showed it to me!"
"There really isn't an imperial edict!" Liu Mo smiled, "But if General Shi wants it, I can ask His Majesty the Emperor to give you the next one!"
"Liu, you're going too far!" Shi Gandang stood up suddenly and punched the negotiating table in anger.
"This table must be compensated!" Liu Mo said calmly, "I like it so much, I will give you fifty taels of silver if you don't say anything!"
Seeing Liu Mo's appearance, Shi Gandang was so angry that his teeth itched, "This general will definitely kill you, I want you to die...die!!!"
"Oh, let's start the fight then!" Liu Mo sneered, "Waiting for you to attack!"
The Emperor of Zhou did not issue an order, how dare you?
Another one, I am the defender of the city. With only your 10,000 troops, am I afraid of you?
"Ah... I'm going to kill him." Shi Gandang had already drawn the sword in his hand, but was stopped by his colleagues and then pulled out of the negotiation room. "Don't pull me, I'm going to kill him."
Liu Mo didn't bother to pay attention, and just sat there calmly, while not forgetting to take a bite of the newly delivered fruit.
"Mr. Liu, don't be surprised!" Another official from the Zhou Dynasty accompanied him with a smile.
"It's a small matter!" Liu Mo said as he threw away the core. "I have explained that what His Majesty the Emperor means is that, in addition to the method of making new salt, we can hand over the people and pay for the money. Don't talk about ceding the land. !”
"Master Liu, what our Emperor means is that the compensation does not need to be paid, and only the principal culprit is required." The Zhou Dynasty official smiled, "But the new method of making salt is absolutely necessary!"
"Then there's no need to talk?" Liu Mo spread his hands and planned to leave.
"Master Liu, wait a minute!" The Zhou Dynasty official stopped him, "My Emperor has a decree. As long as your country is willing to hand over the new salt manufacturing method, any conditions can be negotiated!"
As he said that, the Zhou Dynasty official leaned towards Liu Mo and said, "If Lord Liu sincerely marries me, Princess Zhou, there is nothing wrong with it!"
Damn it, your emperor is really spending a lot of money!
Before Liu Mo could answer, the Zhou Dynasty official added again: "I have six princesses in Zhou Dynasty, four of whom are already married. Master Liu can choose one of the other two princesses. However, it must be the official wife!"
Good guy, I’m so impressed!
Then I thought about it, something wasn't right.
First of all, Yang Yizhi is the emperor's grandson, and he is older than me. So, you, Princess of Zhou Dynasty...
"Isn't the age appropriate?" Liu Mo asked.
The Zhou Dynasty official laughed, "One is a few years older than you, and the other is the same age as you!" He replied, "But, in addition to the princess, there are several princesses who are eighteen years old... "
Liu Mo really wanted to give him a thumbs up, it was so interesting!
But, sorry, I refuse!
"Very good!" Liu Mo said, stroking his chin, "But I can't be a wife, I have to be a concubine!" (Rejection in disguise!)
If you really agree to marry me as a concubine, I will give you another modern salt-making method: [Desalinated seawater concentrate->filtration->electrodialysis->concentrated brine->…]
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
"Master Liu, you are not interesting enough!" The official frowned, "How can I, Princess Zhou, marry me as a concubine?"
"Oh, let's not talk about it then!" Liu Mo threw down his sleeves and said, "Goodbye!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" The official blushed, "Can I report it to His Majesty the Emperor and then give a reply?"
I'm a good boy, are you really going to agree?
Liu Mo regretted it, you guys are really outrageous!
However, the phenomenon of male superiority and female inferiority in Zhou Dynasty was worse than that in Daxia.
Marrying a princess (princess) in exchange for a new method of making salt that has a large amount of food and benefits the whole country seems to be very profitable!
"That's it for today, farewell!" Liu Mo hurriedly ran away, fearing that the other party would agree.
Afterwards, after returning to the camp, Zhu Min ran to find Liu Mo immediately.
"Brother Liu Xian, you are so talented!" He said, patting Liu Mo on the shoulder, "Princess Zhou Dynasty, you dare to mess with your head! I admire you, I admire you!"
"I admire you so much!" Liu Mo sighed. "I just want to make things difficult for them... Hey, forget it, just don't mention it."
"Why such an expression! If the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty really wants to marry a princess, just go ahead and marry him!" Zhu Min said loudly, "Brother, when the time comes, you can treat the princess of the Zhou Dynasty as a maid during the day and a brothel bitch at night. handle."
It makes so much sense and is completely impossible to refute.
"Marry Brother Zhu, you're good to go." Liu Mo sneered.
"Okay, dear brother, feel free to mention it in the next negotiation!" Zhu Min said with raised eyebrows. "The majestic princess of the Zhou Dynasty is riding on my old Zhu's crotch. She is so majestic when she says it, hahaha!"
"Be careful I pickle you in the middle of the night!" Liu Mo was speechless.
While he was bragging, the door was knocked again.
"Master Liu, General Li has sent you over!"
If you want to criticize me for talking nonsense, Liu Mo frowned.
After leaving the room and walking towards Li Jinliang alone, he suddenly felt an inexplicable anxiety in his heart.
The soldier guarding the gate watched him approach solemnly. "General Li is in the room," one of them announced, "General Bai is also in the room!"
Liu Mo nodded and pushed the door open.
Li Jinliang was sitting by the window, reading a letter, and Bai Chengzong was sitting across from him. Liu Mo could see that anxiety was written on their faces.
Hearing the noise, the two of them raised their heads at the same time and stared at Liu Mo.
"Master Liu, come here and close the door!" Bai Chengzong spoke first.
Liu Mo knew that something big must happen.
He closed the door and stepped forward uneasily. "News from Jizhou?" he asked in a low voice.
Li Jinliang flicked the letter paper with one finger. "It's news from His Majesty." He frowned and replied, "Your Majesty is... critically ill!"
"Critically ill?" Liu Mo took a step back in shock.
"That's right!" Bai Chengzong told him, "Now the prince oversees the country!"
Damn it, things are going to change!
