The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 425 Extra Chapter 16 Shakes

"Bang, bell, snap, la..."

The Four Treasures of the Study, teacups, dishes, etc. all on the desk were swept to the floor.

Countless broken pieces of porcelain and tea splashed on the ground, making the place a mess.

The square-faced Haoren, who was reporting back and forth, didn't dare to move at all, and was sweating profusely. He could clearly feel a huge pressure coming from Emperor Hao's body, like a mountain bearing down on him.

"Arrogant!" Wuhaduluo said angrily, with a cold smile on his face, "Gu Jue thinks I'm afraid of him!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Wuhaduluo's confidant is a bald, middle-aged monk, wearing a right-sided crimson cassock, with a graceful bearing.

Gu Jue, the war king, had a great reputation, and both he and Emperor Hao knew the reputation of the Xuanjia Army under his command.

The Xuanjia Army is composed of the elite of the Northern Army and is Gu Jue's personal army. It is said that each of them is capable of defeating ten enemies with one enemy. In forcing the palace, the Xuanjia Army also played a vital role.

The monk still remembers that the late emperor Wu Hebeizhen once said with emotion: Da Qi has King Chen Gu Jue, which is a blessing to Da Qi and a blessing to Da Hao.

This sentence is full of profound meaning. As the "King Chen", Gu Jue protects Da Qi and is a blessing to Da Qi; but for Da Hao, because Gu Jue is not the emperor of Da Qi and is even feared by the former emperor of Da Qi, Gu Lang, Da Hao makes Da Hao Hao was less threatened from the north.

But the situation is different now, Gu Jue has succeeded to the throne.

The monk clasped his hands together and said slowly: "The two countries cannot go to war now."

Wuhaduluo's eyes were sinister, and he clenched his hands tightly into fists.

He has always been conceited and thinks that his own army is not inferior to the Xuanjia Army. However, the time is not right now. Gu Jue can start the war without any scruples, but he has many scruples.

Things have priorities. The current Hao Kingdom must not have any more foreign aggression. He must first stabilize the country, subdue all the vassal kings, and unify Da Hao. As for the rest, he can take care of it slowly.

He took a deep breath, calmed down a lot, and said to the square-faced Hao man in front of him: "Lawen, go and tell the Qi people that ceding the land is absolutely not possible, and ask them to make other conditions."

Ravin's head was as big as a bucket, and he had no other choice but to obey his orders.

So, he left the palace and returned to the gate of the North City again. There were more people around than an hour ago, and the crowd was loud.

Raven felt out of breath and knew clearly that the peace talks this time would not be that easy.

When he walked out of the city gate, he was surprised to find that Qin Yao had moved to a big tree.

Compared with Lawen's sad face, Qin Yao smiled heartlessly.

He leaned leisurely on a thick branch, looking up and drinking the wine from the wine bottle, with one calf hanging casually, dangling in the air.

Originally the two sides were looking at each other at eye level, but now it was Lawen who was under the tree looking up at Qin Yao above.

Raven felt even more unhappy, and conveyed Wuhaduluo's meaning in a good voice, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the envoy, has come all the way here. My emperor ordered me to invite you to the palace to have a chat, so that we can all be treated as landlords." friendship."

Raven said while looking in the direction of the carriage: "Your Excellency, His Highness the Third Prince has been away from the country for several months, and our Emperor is also thinking about him very much. Why don't you and Your Highness enter the palace together..."

"If you want to see your third prince, just say so." Qin Yao interrupted Lawen without any dignity, then raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and told the mustachioed Jin Wuwei, "Xiao Mingzi!"

The corners of Xiao Mingzi's eyes twitched, and she was too lazy to protest against Qin Yao's insistence on using such a title as if he were a chamberlain. He walked to one of the carriages, opened the door of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Third Prince Wu He, please."

Then, Wu Helangnan got off the carriage, his handsome face haggard and embarrassed, like a bereaved dog, lacking the high spirits of before.

Qin Yao smiled and said to Lawen again: "Look, you three princes are still alive and well, with neither arms nor legs missing. We Qi people are honest people, not like you Hao people, who are superficial. A set behind."

Lavin: "..."

Lavin laughed dryly and his eyes became more gloomy.

Qin Yao wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and raised his lower lip with a half-smile: "It is your third prince who intends to assassinate me, the Emperor of Qi. Why, my life of the Emperor of Qi is not worth yours." Haoguo is just a Shuzhou!"

Qin Yao fell out immediately when he said he was going to fall out. He stopped smiling and slammed the empty wine bottle in his hand from the tree.

The white porcelain wine jug hit Lavin's feet and shattered into pieces, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

"Bang!"

Raven's heart suddenly tightened, realizing that although the Daqi envoy in front of him was young, he was a tough nut to crack.

"The envoy has something to say." Lavin said with an apologetic smile, "My emperor is naturally sincere to your country. How about this? I will go back and ask my emperor to write a letter to your lord in his own hand. I will definitely give your lord a Explain.”

Now Lavin just wants to use the delaying method to deal with today's situation first. The ceding of land is very important, and Emperor Hao cannot make the decision easily.

Within a few words, the number of Hao Kingdom people watching around them continued to increase. Even though Lavin had ordered people to drive away the Hao Kingdom people who were watching, the people were willing to leave, but they were forced to retreat by the Hao Kingdom soldiers. Back up again.

The peace talks between the two countries are related to the safety of both countries and the future of these people. If the two countries really go to war, then Jianye City is too close to the river, and they must make plans as soon as possible.

There are too many people around, bustling, one more or one less, and it will not attract anyone's attention at all.

A Hao man of medium height and wearing a brown robe quickly withdrew from the crowd, galloped all the way to a restaurant a street away, and told his master exactly what had happened.

When the old man in the private room on the second floor heard that the Daqi envoy wanted Emperor Hao to cede Shuzhou, his expression changed instantly. His elbow accidentally hit the wine bottle on the table. The wine bottle poured on the table, and the wine flowed across the table. It's that no one cares.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Da Qi is still at the gate of Beicheng. Many people have heard it with their own ears." The entourage who came to report said dryly, and his expression was not good-looking, "Will the Emperor..."

The entourage did not say any more. The dark-skinned old man stood up and said in a cold voice: "I want to enter the palace! Shuzhou is my territory, and it is not up to him, Wuhaduluo, to make the decision!"

"Hmph, it was their father and son who made the mistake. Even if they have to cede the land, they should cede Uhaduluo's own territory!"

The more the old man thought about it, the angrier he became. He hurriedly left the restaurant and went to the palace in the center of Jianye City.

Everyone knew that this old man was Mu Yisi, the vassal king of Shuzhou, and the palace officials quickly went to report to Emperor Hao.

Mu Yisi stormed into Wuhaduluo's study in a furious manner, and the two had a huge quarrel. The excited roar almost broke the roof, and everyone in the palace was so frightened that they fell silent.

Originally, Wuhaduluo had no intention of ceding Shuzhou to Daqi, but Mu Yisi's unreasonable troubles were like a slap in the face, and Wuhaduluo became furious.

So, when Lavin came to see Wuhaduluo again, the angry Wuhaduluo simply gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Lavin, go tell the envoy of Daqi that I agree to cede Shuzhou!" Wuhuduluo, how dare you!" Mu Yisi was so angry that his face was red, veins on his forehead were beating, and he was about to fight Wuhuduluo.

Now that the words have been spoken, Wuhaduluo will not take back his words day by day, and sneers: "You can see if I dare!"

Wuhaduluo's eyes were cold. He had long been dissatisfied with Mu Yisi. He felt that this old man was greedy and challenged his authority again and again just because the Jiao and Hao states were not at peace.

In this case, he simply gave up Shuzhou to calm Gu Jue's anger.

Even if Shuzhou is ceded to Daqi, Daqi will not be able to govern Shuzhou properly across a big river. When he quells the civil strife in the future, sooner or later he can take Shuzhou back from Daqi.

"Uhaduluo, you coward, you are betraying the country!" Mu Yisi kept shouting, but it was in vain. Soon he was taken away by the imperial guards in the palace.

Raven was actually confused, but since Emperor Hao said so, he accepted the order and went to see Qin Yao again with a contract written by Uhaduluo himself.

"Your Excellency, envoy, our emperor is very sincere. He hopes to use Shuzhou to resolve the conflicts between the two countries, and more importantly, he hopes that the two countries will always be friends!" Raven conveyed Uhaduluo's meaning with a smile.

Qin Yao jumped down from the tree, took the contract from the other party, looked at it, and smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right." Qin Yao personally collected the contract and said goodbye without any nostalgia, "I want to go back to resume my life, so I'll leave first. As for the third prince and second princess of your country, wait for me to cross the river. He will be released!"

"Don't worry, we Qi people keep our word and we won't say one thing and do another."

Qin Yao completely ignored the other party's hope that the two countries would form an alliance. He smiled happily and felt that his errand was done perfectly.

Even if you get a bargain, you still behave well! Raven cursed inwardly, almost vomiting blood, but she could only continue to laugh in apology.

Since Emperor Hao had even compensated Shuzhou to Daqi, he couldn't be ruined in this last step.

Qin Yao arrived in a high-spirited manner and embarked on his return trip in a high-spirited manner, staying in Jianye City for less than half a day.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky.

What was hotter than the scorching sun was the human heart. The people present rushed to leave. As a result, the news that Wuhaduluo agreed to cede Shuzhou to Daqi spread throughout the Hao Kingdom at an incredible speed.

Especially those vassal kings who had been paying attention to Jianye City all learned the news immediately.

Even Wuhajialou, who was in Haozhou, received a letter from Fei Ge early the next morning.

Looking at the rising sun outside the window, Wuhejialou smiled slightly and placed the flying pigeon letter on the candlelight. The letter burned up in the blink of an eye.

It was quiet and deserted in the early morning, and there was a faint sound of rapid horse hooves on the street outside, getting closer and closer.

Wuhejialou said to an ordinary-looking middle-aged man next to him: "An Tan, go and greet Pumi Xi for me."

An Tan, the leader of the Yingyang Guards, narrowed his eyes and praised: "First Prince, you are really clever." Wuhejialou said after arriving in Haozhou that Pu Mixi would definitely come to see him within three days.

Uhagalou smiled and said nothing.

He has been preparing for this day for a long time.

King Lunsuli of Jiaozhou was a close associate of his father, so the first thing he did when he returned to Hao Kingdom was to find Lunsuli. The person who didn't want to be in charge of Jiaozhou became Lunsuli's eldest son, and Lunsuli was poisoned by the eldest son. . Wuhajialou secretly cured Lunsuli, and it took Lunsuli several months to regain power in Jiaozhou.

Pu Mixi has always been shrewd and cautious. Only with Lunsuli's stance and the private property left by his father as the basis, Pu Mixi could surrender.

Originally, he had to spend some time to conquer Pumi Xi, but he didn't expect that Gu Jue helped him in this way, prompting Pumi Xi to make a decision in advance.

After a while, An Tan came in with a short, fat old man in rich clothes. The old man's face was full of smiles. His round face looked kind and kind, and his thin eyes shone with shrewd light.

This old man in rich clothes is none other than Prince Pumixi, the vassal king of Haozhou.

"Long time no see, the eldest prince is still as charming as ever." Pumi Xi politely bowed to Wu He Jia Lou, as he did when Wu He Beizhen was still in power, as if there had never been any barrier between them.

Before today, Uhagalou came to see him several times, but he excused himself.

He felt that Uhagalou's current strength was simply not enough to be an enemy of Uhaduluo, and it was not worth the risk.

But when he heard last night that Wuhaduluo had ceded Shuzhou to Daqi, he was shaken.

Last night, he stayed up all night. He felt that Wuhaduluo was too ridiculous. Cutting off the territory to the Qi Dynasty was tantamount to declaring the world. Wasn't he afraid of the Qi Dynasty? ! Even if Wuhaduluo was dissatisfied with Mu Ersi, he should not deal with it in this way.

That's why Pumixi came here to see Uhagalou.

"Prince Pumixi, please sit down." Wuhejialou smiled faintly and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Pumixi thanked him with a smile and looked at Uhagal Tower without any trace.

Wuhejialou is dressed in spotless white monk robes, like the snow lotus on the top of Tianshan Mountain, sacred and inviolable.

Pu Mixi smiled kindly and respectfully, but her heart was actually not as calm as she appeared. She was both surprised and shocked.

In the past short year, Wuhejialou has experienced a drastic change in his life. From the eldest prince of the Hao Kingdom who was once inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, he has become a shady rebel. This earth-shaking difference is huge. Most people can't bear it.

But Uhagalou has not changed.

His eyes and demeanor were as wise and transparent as ever, as if the catastrophe he had experienced had not left any trace on him.

There is an old saying: When Heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him beyond his ability.

Wu Hejialou's character is far beyond ordinary people. He has the style of the late emperor Wu He Beizhen, but he is also wiser and more far-sighted than the late emperor.

Thinking about it, Pumixi's heart calmed down, she stared into Wuhejialou's eyes and said seriously: "First Prince, what are your plans?"

Uhagalou answered the question incorrectly: "Tomorrow Lunsuli, Hanu, Rambora... will all come."

Listening to these familiar names, Pumixi was even more shocked. Wuhejialou actually persuaded all these people? !

So why worry about failure? !
