31 Agreed
The trees swayed in the wind, and the clouds changed in the air. Almost all of them were dressed in formal attire.
Everyone took out their best posture to show the bearing of Beiling Kingdom and prepare to welcome the arrival of VIPs.
With the sound of steady footsteps, the representative of the Nanyan State, the leader of the Small Nations Alliance, and his entourage walked into the main hall to discuss the matter of peace.
Although Beiling won this war, it was nearly three years of war, and Beiling was also hit hard.
The heavy taxes and the spread of the war made the people miserable, which can be regarded as injuring 1,000 enemies and losing 800.
I saw the crown prince of Nanyan Kingdom slowly speak, "If your country wants us to pay tribute every year, you also need to show us the strength of your country!"
"Why don't you try it with us, let us also see the strength of the Beiling Kingdom. ”
The emperor naturally agreed, as a victorious country, Beiling will not lose the image of a great country.
So after discussion between the two sides, the competition was set for the next day.
Today is naturally to give them the wind, and the father and mother sit in the first place.
Qingli, as the princess, also sat in a rather high position.
Qing Li thought that she just needed to go through the motions, after all, Qing Li couldn't interfere in the affairs of the two countries.
But the truth told her that she was thinking too simply.
Qingli noticed that a beautiful woman in a blue dress was looking at her with malicious intent.
Qing Li is a little inexplicable, you must know that Qing Li has never seen her before, even before Qing Li lost her memory, Qing Li did not have a chance to see her, a person from an enemy country!
Looking at her closeness to Nan Xun, the prince of Nanyan Kingdom, this woman's identity should not be low.
I don't know what she whispered to that Nan Xun, she turned to Qingli and walked towards Qingli, hooked her lips slightly, and said with a little scrutiny: "You are Qingli?"
Qing Li replied a little defensively: "What's the matter?"
She spoke again, "I wonder if you have the courage to compete with me tomorrow?"
Hearing her provocative words, Qingli was a little annoyed.
However, before Qingli could speak, Qingli's brother Qingyou answered for her, "My sister is not in good health, so she will not participate in the competition, and I ask Princess Nanling to forgive me." ”
"Is the princess of your country so weak?" she said disdainfully.
Hearing her say this, Qingli was very angry in her heart.
Qing Li replied before her brother could answer: "This princess just disdains the use of force, I don't know if Princess Nanling dare to compare with me." ”
The princess Nanling stared at Qing Li with jealous eyes, and said, "Oh, then wait for the princess's performance tomorrow, don't let me down too much!" After saying that, she left.
Although Qingli sometimes likes to play around, she thinks she is still very good at poetry, writing and painting.
Although I don't understand where the inexplicable hostility comes from, since you dare to provoke this princess, you must be prepared to fail, Qing Li thought.
Seeing the situation on Qingli's side, Liyan also hurriedly came to Qingli's side.
Anxiously asked, "What did she say to you?"
Seeing that Liyan was so worried about her, Qingli stared at Liyan and replied, "Nothing." ”
Li Yan looked at Qing Li with a little suspicion, and slowly spoke: "Stay away from that Nan Ling, she is not a good stubble." ”
How could he know that Nanling princess, and when he saw that Nanling princess coming, he hurried over?
Qing Li said to him viciously: "You and her will not have anything, right?"
His eyes dodged for a moment, and he hurriedly promised: "Absolutely not, Xiao Li'er wants to believe that I only love you, how can I have anything to do with her." ”
Qing Li was dazed by his sudden sweet words, so he didn't delve into the matter.
Qingli's tone was soft, and he said, "Okay, okay, I believe you are, if you really dare to have anything with other women, it's a big deal that I abandon you, hum." ”
Li Yan stiffened slightly, then smiled and said: "It's enough for me to have one Li'er, where will anyone else be interested! ”
After saying that, he walked away, somehow, Qing Li always felt that his back was a little deserted and fled, it should be my delusion!
The prince of the Southern Tobacco Kingdom also glanced at Qing Li. Qingli secretly thought, why did my sister come again after provoking her brother?
The facts told Qing Li that she thought too much, he just frowned, and went to discuss with his father about tomorrow's competition, and the matter of peace.
Qing Li's father's attitude towards him was quite enthusiastic, because as the lord and faction in the alliance of small countries, his interests were in line with ours.
Looking at their expressions, they talked about the content of the peace negotiation quite harmoniously.
The emperor said: "If we win tomorrow, they will pay us a tribute once a year, and if they win, then they will pay it every two years." ”
Because the stakes are relatively large this time, both countries attach great importance to it.
The emperor also gave full authority to Qingyou to prepare for this competition.
As a member of the competition, Qingli felt the pressure on herself, and there were only five matches in total.
Two jousts, one archery.
The other two are Wenbi.
Qingli waited for the banquet to end, and then hurried back to prepare, although it was useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, but it was always good to prepare.
