"Maybe you are right. Although His Majesty has authorized me, the Northern Desert has been frightened by my Leng family army for a long time, and now they are taking the initiative to negotiate, they will definitely feel that there is fraud on our part." Leng Wushuang finished speaking, with a look on his face. A little helpless.
He seemed to understand why Emperor Song Ming thought about it again and again and finally agreed. Emperor Song Ming must have expected Beimo's reaction to be like this, so he opposed it for a long time before agreeing.
Now that spring has arrived, the permafrost has begun to melt, but even so, the North Desert is still suffering from a serious food shortage, otherwise it would not have chosen to take such desperate risks under the shock of the Leng family army.
The progress of building the Great Wall is now close to zero. All the city bricks have been laid out for a long time, manpower is in short supply, and trade with the Northern Desert is not progressing smoothly.
The problems at the moment made him frown.
"Why are you so worried? I'm here. Leave the trade to me. I'm not as good as you in marching and fighting. I know a lot more about trade than you."
"There is no credibility in this Northern Desert. I'm afraid they will detain you and threaten the Liu family." Before Liu Qingge left, Leng Wushuang began to worry.
"With my outfit, can you recognize me as Liu Qingge?"
"Of course I can't."
Frankly speaking, it is difficult to recognize that Liu Qingge is a girl in this disguise, let alone the young master of the Liu family.
But Leng Wushuang always felt that going to the Northern Desert was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
"Okay, don't worry. I will send you a greeting card tomorrow. Qingshu and Cuiliu will accompany me, so don't worry." Liu Qingge consoled her.
The border defense is in a hurry these days, and Leng Wushuang is indeed inseparable.
It wasn't because he couldn't defeat the few rogue bandits in the Northern Desert, but because of trade to appease the morale of the army.
After all, the hatred between the two countries can be said to be deep-rooted. If Leng Wushuang is not there to comfort them, something big will happen.
"If something happens, just release this flare." Leng Wushuang was still worried and placed the Leng Jiajun's flare on Liu Qingsinger. Once it was fired, he would definitely have a large army to suppress the situation.
Liu Qingge nodded, knowing that this signal flare was of great significance, so he put it away carefully.
Leng Wushuang escorted Liu Qingge to the border of Beimo before stopping, then turned around and headed to the construction site.
Liu Qingge took a carriage and drove for about a day before arriving at the palace in Beimo.
The entire palace in the Northern Desert is made up of small dome tents, like stars in the sky, dotted in the boundless green ocean. The inside is made of black satin-like felt, with a skylight on the top, which can transmit light and It is breathable, which not only maintains the air circulation inside, but also ensures the warmth inside. It is surrounded by straw ropes to prevent wind blowing, and the inside is covered with soft wool felt, which is warm and comfortable.
Liu Qingge lay down as soon as he entered. After several days of traveling and traveling, his whole bones were about to fall apart.
Even Cuiliu couldn't help complaining: "The weather in the Northern Desert is really dry."
Liu Qingge patted Cuiliu who was lying beside him and said, "We'll go to the audience after some corrections."
But she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Muge is here to send you an audience."
So fast? !
It was late at night when she arrived at the Northern Desert Palace, and she didn't expect to be summoned at this time.
At that moment, she immediately took Cuiliu and Qingshu to clean up briefly and went to the imperial tent.
As soon as he entered the imperial tent, Liu Qingge saw Tuoba Hong, the Lord of the Northern Desert. He was tall and burly, with a thick black beard and eyes as deep as the sea, revealing a kind of wisdom and majesty. His skin had been blown by the wind for many years. Sun exposure gives it a healthy bronze color, adding a bit of boldness and might.
He wore a dark brown robe trimmed with gold. The robe was embroidered with the Tuoba family emblem and patterns symbolizing royal power, which demonstrated his noble status, but the most eye-catching thing was his silver hair.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Liu Qingge saluted.
"Sit down." Tuoba Hong's voice was deep and powerful, and his eyes were firm and powerful, as if he could see through all hypocrisy and lies.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Qingge took the seat closest to Tuoba Hong's left hand side.
"Father, is there an envoy from Zhongzhou?"
A cheerful male voice came from outside the tent.
"Yuan Yu, come and sit here." Tuoba Hong waved his hand affectionately.
When he heard the name, Liu Qingge realized that the person in front of him was Tuoba Yuanyu, who was also the eldest son of Tuoba Hong. Tuoba Yuanyu looked exactly like Tuoba Hong, but his hair color was overall darker red. He looked at Liu Qing There was a hint of contempt in Ge Ge's eyes, but he returned to normal in an instant.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince." Liu Qingge nodded and smiled.
Tuoba Yuanyu looked at Liu Qingge and raised his empty wine glass. Immediately, a servant filled a glass of kumiss. He raised his glass and said, "Master Mu, please."
Although Liu Qingge was not good at drinking, she had to drink when Tuoba Yuanyu toasted her. She raised her glass and replied: "Please."
The two of them raised their heads and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
Although Liu Qingge likes to drink on weekdays, he always drinks Taohuazui sweet wine. Now after drinking a whole glass of kumis, in addition to a strong milky aroma, there is also a burning sensation that goes straight to the sky.
Seeing Liu Qingge couldn't help but frown, Tuoba Yuanyu laughed loudly and said, "Master Mu, can't you get used to the koumiss from our grassland?"
Liu Qingge immediately replied: "I rarely drink alcohol on weekdays, and occasionally I just drink a few glasses of sweet wine to pass the time and make the eldest prince laugh."
Tuoba Yuanyu raised his eyebrows: "How can this be done? We men want to drink a few glasses of strong wine. That sweet wine of women is not for us men to drink. Come and have another drink."
Liu Qingge felt dizzy after drinking two glasses of wine in a row, and even looked at Tuoba Yuanyu with a double image.
But how could Tuoba Yuanyu let Liu Qingge go? He drank one cup after another, drinking ten cups in a row. Liu Qingge was stunned.
When she woke up again, she saw herself lying in the tent, with Cuiliu lying next to her.
"Huh -" Cuiliu took a long breath and said in surprise: "Big shopkeeper, you finally woke up."
Liu Qingge touched her head and felt that her head was still dizzy at this time. She took the water glass handed over by Cui Liu and took a long breath before asking, "How long have I been asleep?"
Cuiliu said helplessly: "Big shopkeeper, you have slept all day!"
Liu Qingge took a breath. She knew the wine was powerful, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful. She slept until the next night.
It's pitch black at this moment, and what a ghost talk!
She knew that the eldest prince Tuoba Yuanyu was opposed to harmony with Zhongzhou, but she didn't expect that he got herself drunk and slept for a whole day on the first day!
What kind of trick is this?
Her face turned dark, and there was nothing she could do.
