384, determination
Yuan Muwen didn't think much about it, and directly asked people to arrange the envoy group to rest in the palace, and then let the envoy meet him.
Taifu Wang Gang took Ouyang Hu to see Yuan Muwen, he held the list of gifts in his hand, and when he arrived at the palace, he presented the list of gifts, Yuan Muwen glanced at it slightly, and saw that this gift was very valuable, so he had a number in his heart, put the list of gifts on his table, and said, "Gaochang sent troops to kill my daughter and son-in-law, and he dared to send you to see me, is he too confident, or too stupid?"
Taifu Wang Gang was very calm, and said, "Our monarch, wise and martial, has always taken the unification of Colliers City as his lifelong ambition, and our monarch is the descendant of the founder of Colliers City, and he is originally qualified to reunite the divided Colliers City, I say so, presumably the lord will not object!"
Yuan Muwen didn't speak, because what Taifu Wang just said was the truth, so he had nothing to say, and the deputy lord sitting on his left suddenly said, "Don't mention the old past a long time ago, just say directly, what is the purpose of your monarch sending you here?"
Taifu Wang Gang smiled, saluted the deputy lord, and said, "Presumably you are Lord Yan Wushuang, the deputy lord of Baituo, I have long heard that you have an upright temperament and are a fast-talking gentleman, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of your reputation!"
Yan Wushuang waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you can say it quickly, what is the purpose of coming to see us?"
Taifu Wang Gang said, "Since this is the case, then I will get straight to the point, I know that Princess Xixi of the East Prince's Mansion is the granddaughter of Lord Yuan, and she has now fled to Baituo, I don't know if I can let her come out and meet me!"
Yuan Muwen was silent, and Yan Wushuang continued, "Princess Xixi has indeed come to us, what, do you still want our lord to bring your granddaughter back to you and kill her?"
Taifu Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Naturally not, our monarch is not a cruel and unkind person, as long as Princess Xixi can promise in person that she will not try to restore the East Palace, our monarch is willing to open the net, and Princess Xixi's life in the future, our monarch can also guarantee to enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
Yuan Muwen heard this, snorted coldly, and said, "Gao Chang, this kid, did he let you say that, what does he want to do, does he want to scare me?"
King Taifu just saw that Yuan Muwen was disrespectful to his king, so he said without backing down, " Lord Yuan can't say that, our lord sent me here and brought valuable gifts, that is respect for you, but if you think that the king is doing this to scare you, then I have nothing to say, you are the grandfather of Princess Xixi, the father of the queen of the East Palace, if you want to help Princess Xixi restore the East Palace, it is also reasonable, but I want to remind you that if you really do this, it will be to introduce all the people of Toc into the scourge of war, so please think twice!"
Yuan Muwen listened to Taifu Wang Gang's words, slapped the table angrily, and said, "How can this be true, you dare to talk to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
King Taifu Gang's face did not change, and said, "Since I promised you to come up as this envoy, I thought that I would be executed by you, and I died as I deserved, and I have no regrets, but next, you are ready to deal with the million-strong male division of our county king's mansion!"
Yuan Muwen stood up suddenly, and was about to call the guards outside the palace to come in and pull out Taifu Wang Gang and his entourage and cut off their heads, but the deputy lord Yan Wushuang immediately walked up, held him down, and said, "Lord Lord, don't be impatient, this matter is not trivial, it is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in Baituo, please be calm!"
Yuan Muwen took a deep breath, obviously trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and the deputy lord Yan Wushuang took the opportunity to say to Taifu Wang Gang, who was standing under the palace, "You don't retreat first!"
Taifu Wang Gang immediately left the palace with Ouyang Hu, and when the two left, they happened to see Princess Xixi walking into the palace side by side with a woman, this woman is Wang Zhaodi, Princess Xixi and Wang Zhaodi, Taifu Wang Gang and Ouyang Hu, these four people passed by in the palace.
As soon as King Taifu saw Princess Xixi, he immediately showed a relaxed expression on his face, because he had completed his mission, he had already determined that Princess Xixi was really in Baituo, and Princess Xixi also looked at him, with a hateful expression on his face, because he was wearing the official uniform of the county king's mansion, Princess Xixi didn't know who he was, but she knew his official uniform, she knew that he was an enemy, so she showed a hateful expression on her face.
And Wang Zhaodi stared at Ouyang Hu beside Taifu Wang Gang, because when Wang Zhaodi saw Ouyang Hu for the first time, he felt that he was definitely not an entourage next to Taifu Wang Gang, Ouyang Hu's eyes were bottomless, obviously a scheming person, and Ouyang Hu also noticed Wang Zhaodi, because he also saw the difference from Wang Zhaodi, Wang Zhaodi had a very strange temperament, as if he was a person who came out of a different world!
Although the four of them looked at each other, they did not stop, Taifu Wang Gang and Ouyang Hu walked out of the palace, while Princess Xixi and Wang Zhaodi strode into the palace.
Yuan Muwen and Yan Wushuang were still sitting in the palace, so Princess Xixi immediately saluted the two of them, and then asked, "Grandpa, is that person just now from the county king's mansion, and what is he doing here?"
Yuan Muwen said, "He came to give a gift and asked me not to help you avenge your father and mother!"
Princess Xixi immediately began to cry and said, "Grandpa, I only have one relative to you now, if you don't help me, no one will help me!"
Yuan Muwen was very embarrassed, he sighed, he didn't know what to say, in his heart, he loved Princess Xixi very much, and wanted to help her restore the territory of the East Palace, but the strength of the County Palace, even if he mobilized all the people of Baituo to fight with the County Palace, he was afraid that he might not be able to win with confidence, so he couldn't promise anything to Princess Xixi.
Yan Wushuang saw that he was embarrassed, so he said to Princess Xixi, "Princess Xixi, you have grown up, there are some things, you should be able to think clearly, I also feel very sympathetic to your experience, but you also have to think about the people of Bairoc, they can't all be involved in the disaster of war for you alone!"
Princess Xixi listened to Yan Wushuang's words, and cried even more sadly, Wang Zhaodi already knew that Yuan Muwen and Yan Wushuang would not make up their minds to fight to the death with the county king's mansion, even if Princess Xixi cried hoarsely, it was useless, so she persuaded Princess Xixi and said, "Princess, don't be sad first, let's go back first, after we go back, we will think of a way!"
So Princess Sissi left the palace with Wang Zhaodi, and the two of them returned to their lodgings, and the blacksmith, Bingrui, Iron Wolf, and Xue Wu all came to their room, and the six of them gathered together for a round table.
"The Junwang Mansion has already sent a messenger, and they have sent a very valuable gift to Yuan Muwen, asking him not to help the princess restore the territory of the East Wangfu! And Yuan Muwen and Yan Wushuang have obviously agreed!" Wang Zhaodi was the first to say.
The princess's eyes were red, and she seemed to be crying again, and the blacksmith hurriedly put her shoulders around and said, "Don't cry, don't worry, even if your grandfather doesn't help you, I will definitely help you, and no matter how much time it takes, I will let you become the princess of the East Mansion again and rule the entire territory of the East Palace!"
Wang Zhaodi said, "Blacksmith, isn't it a bit irresponsible for you to say this now, do you want to make a promise to the princess that you will never keep, you have nothing now, why do you say to help the princess restore the land?"
The blacksmith said very stubbornly, "What I say, is the water that is spilled, it will never be taken back, and I will definitely carry it out unswervingly, although I may use my whole life to restore the entire Dongwang Mansion for the princess, but so what, I will still do it, and I will hand over the unfinished business to my son and grandson, and continue to do it until it is completed!"
Listening to the blacksmith's words, the princess was very moved, and she said to the blacksmith affectionately, "Thank you, my father did not misunderstand you, you are indeed a person worthy of trust!"
The blacksmith also looked at the princess affectionately, in the eyes of the two of them, there was a flame of scorching love, Wang Zhaodi saw it in his eyes, and could only sigh helplessly, because her purpose was to take the blacksmith away from the princess and help her complete the great cause of conquering the ancient continent, and now the blacksmith has made up his mind to restore the princess, and will spend his life doing this, then her hope of taking away the blacksmith has come to naught!
