After all, the eldest prince Tuoba Yuanyu didn't do anything but toast. It was because she had a poor drinking capacity that she forced herself to drink ten glasses of wine!
Liu Qingge had thought of many plans to solve the problem since he arrived, but he never thought that he would be drunk by Tuoba Yuanyu on the first day he arrived.
According to the custom of Bei Mo, you must drink as long as you toast. If you don't drink, it is disrespectful.
What if she goes to see Tuoba Hong the next day and Tuoba Yuanyu proposes a toast again before discussing trade matters?
There's no way to keep waiting like this. Let's cut through the mess quickly and go see him tonight!
Liu Qingge didn't care about eating. She simply washed up, dressed neatly and looked good, and then asked Qingshu to hand over the name card.
In the middle of the night, no one paid any attention to her, even if she was a distinguished guest from Zhongzhou.
There was no response, so Liu Qingge didn't care. She walked out of the tent and arrived near Tuoba Hong's imperial tent. Looking at the guard outside the tent, she immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Excuse me, please send the message. The envoy from Zhongzhou wants to see you."
The guard glanced at Liu Qingge with contempt and said, "Who do you think you are? It's such an hour. If you dare to disturb our Majesty, just wait here!"
Liu Qingge shouted directly: "Your Majesty Tuoba, the envoy from Xia Zhongzhou is here to see your Majesty."
"Come here, I'll take them all!"
For a moment, everyone was in a mess. Cui Liu and Qing Shu protected Liu Qingge. They saw more and more guards coming, and the two of them were almost unable to resist.
Liu Qingge was heartbroken and shouted with a louder voice: "Your Majesty, there is little food in the Northern Desert and the good people have turned into bandits. Is this what Your Majesty wants to see?"
"stop--!"
Seeing that the knife was about to fall on Liu Qingge, a deep voice could only be heard from inside the tent.
But Tuoba Hong looked at the imperial tent and looked at Liu Qingge with an unhappy expression.
"See Your Majesty." Everyone saluted in unison.
"No courtesy." Tuoba Hong waved his hand impatiently, then walked up to Liu Qingge and said, "It's so late, and you have to see me without my summons. Is the Zhongzhou envoy so rude?"
Liu Qingge was heartbroken and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if I go to see Your Majesty again, or drink one glass of wine after another, what other important things can I say to Your Majesty?"
"This is the rule of our Zhongzhou. In our Zhongzhou, wine is equal to character. After ten glasses of wine, you will be drunk. How can we talk about trade." Before Liu Qingge could speak, he was interrupted by a voice.
Liu Qingge turned around and saw that it was Tuoba Yuanyu!
She gritted her teeth and looked at Tuoba Yuanyu. This Tuoba Yuanyu was like a ghost that was lingering around. At this time, he was trying to get involved, because he didn't want her to discuss trade matters with Tuoba Hong.
"His Royal Highness the First Prince."
"You broke into my imperial tent in the Northern Desert without authorization and attacked my father. What crime do you deserve!"
Liu Qingge faced Tuoba Yuanyu with no fear in his eyes: "Then the eldest prince has repeatedly tried to prevent the trade between Zhongzhou and Beimo, so what crime should he deserve!"
"You——" Seeing Liu Qingge directly bring this matter to the table, Tuoba Yuanyu became furious.
"That's enough. You two are quarreling over this matter. Do you still take me seriously?" Tuoba Hong said angrily.
"I don't dare."
"I don't dare."
The two looked at each other, neither convinced by the other.
"You all please step back, Mu Ge, come in with me." Tuoba Hong waved his hand, signaling for everyone else to step back.
"Yes." Liu Qingge immediately followed Tuoba Hong into the imperial tent.
As soon as he entered the imperial tent, Tuoba Hong said in a deep voice: "Little girl, you have come to our Northern Desert to discuss business on behalf of the Liu family. If you can be the master of the Liu family, you can still be the master of Zhongzhou."
Tuoba Hong's words suppressed all the words on Liu Qingge's lips. She looked at Tuoba Hong's expression of embarrassment and was silent for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty Tuoba, are you trying to give me a warning?"
"If I had wanted to, I could have killed you yesterday." Tuoba Hong's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, with a hint of mockery in the corner of his mouth, exactly like the eyes of a superior looking down at the bottom.
Liu Qingge drank too much yesterday and has no memory of what she did after she was drunk, but judging from the reactions of Cuizhu and Qingshu, she probably didn't do anything either.
But if this is really the case, why can Tuoba Hong know that she is a girl?
"Your Majesty Tuoba, the most lacking thing in the Northern Desert today is food. I wonder if Qingge is right." Liu Qingge simply showed his trump card as the heir of the Liu family.
A trace of surprise flashed across Tuoba Hong's face, but he quickly came back to his senses. It seemed that the flash of surprise just now was just an illusion. He looked at Liu Qingge with a somewhat casual look on his face. He said with a faint smile: "Liu Qingge."
"Your Highness Tuoba, I wonder if we can have a serious talk now?"
"Hmph, my prince Yeluqi in the Northern Desert wants to marry you, but I didn't expect that your Zhongzhou would not give you any face. Now that Yeluqi's whereabouts are unknown, how dare you come to my Northern Desert?"
Liu Qingge also replied unceremoniously: "Just because Yeluqi wants to marry me, are you really not humiliating me, Zhongzhou?"
"What a sharp tongue. Now that you have come to the Northern Desert to ask me for business, you dare to speak to me like this."
"Your Majesty Tuoba, what I think is not that I seek trade in the Northern Desert, but that the Northern Desert needs my Liu family." Liu Qingge answered neither humble nor arrogantly.
"You are so rude, aren't you afraid that I will kick you out, or do you want to challenge my bottom line and kill you directly?" Tuoba Hong looked around, and the atmosphere in the tent instantly cooled down.
"Haha——" Liu Qingge chuckled, which made the suddenly cold atmosphere a bit strange. She walked up to Tuoba Hong and said: "Since Your Majesty revealed Qingge's identity and let Qingge in, I’m afraid it’s not to kill Qing Ge.”
"You are very smart, but if you challenge my patience like this, you are pretending that you are not afraid that I will kill you."
"If I die, the entire Northern Desert will only be more sad. After all, I am the one who can bring good news to the Northern Desert. If the Northern Desert continues to be so short of food, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the autumn harvest, right?"
What Liu Qingge was talking about was the most difficult problem in Bei Desert right now.
The only solution is to go to Zhongzhou to plunder, or to do business with Zhongzhou. It's that simple.
If the Northern Desert wants to trade with other countries, it has to cross the extremely cold areas of the Northern Desert. Even the most experienced locals will find it difficult to get out of the extremely cold areas, let alone go to trade.
So after so many years, even the emperors of the Northern Desert have a tradition of herding animals, just to prepare more food rations.
There are many yaks in the environment of the Northern Desert. Every winter, dried meat is prepared from house to house for the winter. However, in the long run, gastrointestinal diseases often occur throughout the Northern Desert, so every household in the Northern Desert drinks some Pu'er tea to regulate the spleen and stomach.
Coupled with the constant friction between the Northern Desert and Zhongzhou and their failure to return, it will be difficult for the Northern Desert to survive this year's cold winter.
Apart from finding another way out, this problem is simply an unsolvable problem.
If you are trapped in the Northern Desert, you will have no way out.
