Mu Shaobai and Yi You looked at Tang Dou who was squeezing their eyebrows at them with a little sluggishness, and they couldn't react for a while.

"Your envoy, what is the so-called matter when you come from afar this time?" Fortunately, Zhengde opened his mouth and woke up the two.

Mu Shaobai forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, saluted Zhengde's chest, and smiled slightly: "It is precisely for the fact that before January, the Tianwu army ignored the attack on my Shinra Kingdom Bull Head Fort!" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Zhengde looked at Sun Nansong: "Sun Qing, is there such a thing?" ”

The plan has been set a long time ago, all Zhengde needs to do is to do Tai Chi, and leave the rest to Li Wei and Sun Nansong.

Sun Nansong hugged the wat board and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my Tianwu army had a military drill a month ago, which happened to be in the area of Niuqi Mountain, but when it comes to attacking Niutoubao, I really don't know where to start!" ”

Anyway, the Tianwu army has been standing outside the Bullhead Fort for half a month, and the only battle is a beast tide defense battle fought a hundred miles away from the Bullhead Fort, so you can't say that it is an attack on the Bullhead Fort, right?

In short, the Tianwu Dynasty had already agreed that the attack must not be buttoned up. But he has to admit that he caused a misunderstanding, which caused some labor and money, so he is willing to compensate HRE for some mental damages - in short, Tianwu Kingdom means "I'm sorry to scare you, give you some money to go home and buy candy!" ”

In any case, the hat of the light challenge end must not be worn at this time, otherwise the kingdom of HRE will definitely open its mouth.

Mu Shaobai was obviously prepared, and after listening to Sun Nansong's words, he said unhurriedly: "Since Marshal Sun admitted that the Tianwu army went to Niuqi Mountain, then he also admitted to attacking Niutou Fort?" ”

"We just went to the Niuqi Mountain military exercise, and we did not attack the Niutou Fort. Or what evidence can you find? There are corpses left behind by our sergeants? Or is it weapon armor? Or what are the major losses of the bull head fort? Sun Nansong was sure that the other party had nothing.

The warriors who died during the beast tide were burned into ashes and brought back, and the bullhead fort could get nothing but a camp that was burned to ashes.

Mu Shaobai shook his head: "There is no evidence, but Marshal Sun admitted that the Tianwu army went to Niuqi Mountain?" ”

Sun Nansong intuitively thought that the other party was going to cheat, but he couldn't think of any loopholes for a while, so he nodded.

"But within three hundred miles of Bullhead Fort?" Mu Shaobai asked again.

There is no way to deny this, it is only fifty miles recently, and the HRE Kingdom can find a lot of evidence to come out.

So Sun Nansong had no choice but to nod again.

"Then that's it!" Mu Shaobai smiled casually: "According to the peace agreement identified by the three major powers of my Jiuxiao Continent five hundred years ago, neither side is allowed to enter within three hundred miles of the other party's border defense line for any reason, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation!" As the front line of our HRE country, the bull head fort extends within 300 miles and is the border defense line of our HRE country. The Tianwu army entered it for no reason, and once approached to fifty miles. I, the Kingdom of the Holy Countries, have reason to believe that this is a provocation by the Celestial Warrior Kingdom to our Kingdom of the Divine Empire. Is that right? ”

Sun Nansong opened his mouth and was speechless.

Tang Dou recalled a lot of regulations, historical records, and documents that Li Wei had shown him before, and it took a while to remember. Five hundred years ago, the three powers did identify such an agreement. However, at that time, the construction of the bull head fort had just begun, and the ownership was still that of the Tianwu Kingdom. Moreover, at that time, there was no development at all in the area of Niuqi Mountain, which can be said to be barren, and no one cared about it at all.

But looking at it now, it's different. The Shinra Kingdom that got the Bull Head Fort was equivalent to nailing a nail directly into the territory of the Tianwu Kingdom, not only having a good bridgehead for attacking, but also staring at all the movements in the area of the Niuqi Mountain of the Tianwu Kingdom.

And if you take the agreement of 500 years ago to be more true, it is equivalent to the Tianwu Kingdom being swallowed by the HRE Kingdom, with the Niutou Fort as the center, a large area with a radius of 300 miles - there is Niuqi Mountain, which is a place where monsters and beasts haunt, can not be cultivated, cannot be built, and seems useless, but militarily, it is a place where the throat is rushed, and the Tianwu Kingdom is extremely uncomfortable.

Now hearing that Mu Shaobai suddenly picked up the peace agreement that no one cared about for a long time, Sun Nansong really didn't know how to refute it.

Diplomacy between countries is a back-and-forth friction between military power and rhetoric. As long as you have enough confidence, you can say whatever you want. But if the strength of the two sides is about the same, and they don't want to really fight, then it depends on who has the most powerful mouth.

And an unwritten rule is that as long as it is an agreement that has been identified, then even if it has been hundreds of thousands of years, even if everyone has long been treated as a piece of waste paper, as long as it is not publicly declared invalid, then it must be counted on the table.

The agreement five hundred years ago was too old, and this was signed when the Tianwu Kingdom took advantage, and the HRE Kingdom at that time was more like a commercial alliance, with more money and fewer soldiers, so the agreement at that time was completely powerful against Zijin and Tianwu.

But both Zijin and Tianwu have forgotten one of the most fundamental issues, that is, national development, to put it bluntly, depends on who has more money. Once a rich country gives them time to develop, it can definitely be armed to the teeth in a short time.

The Heavenly Martial Kingdom suffered this loss, and by the time they reacted, the HRE Kingdom had already surpassed them and became the second place in the continent - except for military hard power, all others surpassed the Heavenly Martial Kingdom. And also robbed the bull head fort.

What's even more annoying is that at that time, it was Tianwu Kingdom's own internal affairs that went wrong, and he left a half-built bull head fort and left by himself, and then the HRE country picked it up, and it took ten years and a lot of money to repair the bull head fort.

In the eyes of the Tianwu people, it was a bull's head fort that lost money, but in the hands of the HRE Kingdom, it suddenly became a treasure.

The kingdom of Shinra was very prescient in the name of building a wide official road, and also cleared several demon beast settlements near the official road, so that there were no more dangerous demon beasts within fifty miles. This alone immediately made the first line of Niutoubao the main channel for land trade between Tianwu and Shenluo, but the taxes collected over the years had already brought back the construction fee of Niutoubao.

More importantly, the military role of the bull head fort, when the Tianwu Kingdom came to their senses, they found that the bull head fort that was of little use in their hands once it fell into the hands of the HRE Kingdom, it became a thorn in their side and a thorn in the flesh.

When it comes to Niutoubao, every Tianwu person has itchy teeth, and as for the ministers, they regret it one by one.

Now that the matter of Niutoubao was mentioned by Mu Shaobai again, the atmosphere of the entire hall suddenly became weird, and the ministers looked at Mu Shaobai's eyes and wanted to eat him alive.

Mu Shaobai is chic and free, and he doesn't have it at all-the HRE Kingdom really doesn't want to fight, but there is still a way back. Tianwu really has no way back, unless they want to play together and end up, otherwise they will not let the war start. Therefore, Mu Shaobai knew that he was very safe, at least in the Tianwu Kingdom, even if someone else wanted to kill him, the Tianwu people would desperately protect him.

Therefore, the murderous eyes of the ministers Mu Shaobai accepted it all, and it was not taken seriously at all.

"Ahem!" A clear cough. The entire hall immediately fell silent.

Prime Minister Li Wei stood up at this time, he looked at Mu Shaobai, and smiled: "I don't know what your envoy said about the Niutou Fort, but the abandoned house that my Tianwu Kingdom put in that Niuqi Mountain back then?" ”

"Abandoned houses? What do you mean by that, Your Excellency? I only know that my HRE Kingdom spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and it took ten years to build this Xiongguan Iron Fortress. Mu Shaobai said indifferently.

"Oh? So? Under the foundation of the bull head fort, is it the Shinra national flag, or the Tianwu national flag? I wonder if I can dig it out and take a look? Why don't you let us know where the bull fort ends? The expression on Li Wei's face can be summed up in four words - Zhizhu is in his hands.

This time Mu Shaobai was dumbfounded.

According to the tradition of the Jiuxiao Continent, whoever opens the foundation of a house is considered to be who's own, even if it is not repaired after half of the foundation is opened, then unless the people behind push the foundation to rebuild, otherwise even if the house is repaired, it is considered the former.

In fact, this strange regulation is mainly aimed at the people, so as to prevent some powerful people from encroaching on the houses of the poor people in the form of rush repairs.

However, on the issue of the state, this provision has never been enforced.

But the rules are the rules, now everyone doesn't want to fight, it's just lip service, Li Wei brought the topic to this, Mu Shaobai really couldn't refute it.

You must know that the entire foundation of Niutou Fort is on the mountain, and only a few meters of mud on the surface of Niutou Mountain, and hard granite below, it is impossible for a military fortress to hit only a few meters of foundation, so that you can fall without the enemy attacking. So the entire foundation is twenty meters into the wall, which is also the most time-consuming and laborious part of building the bull head fort, Tianwu Kingdom got this part right, and then there is really no money to repair it, and at that time Tianwu did not expect that the dispensable bull head fort in their hands would play such a big role in the hands of the HRE country, so they gave up.

But according to tradition, when laying the foundation, they still buried the Tianwu flag in the foundation. This is a tradition of all military installations on the mainland, indicating the ownership of this military installation.

On the one hand, it was too time-consuming and laborious to dig the foundation again, and on the other hand, it was to grab time, and I was afraid that Tianwu Kingdom would come back to its senses and come back to grab it, so I started to build it directly on the foundation laid by Tianwu Kingdom.

That is to say, now under the foundation of the Niutou Fort, the national flag of the Tianwu Kingdom is buried, and according to the mainland tradition, the Niutou Fort still belongs to the Tianwu Kingdom.

In normal times, when the HRE Kingdom is not afraid of fighting with Tianwu at all, whoever wants to talk about this article in the Tianmu Kingdom will only be ridiculed by the HRE Kingdom. Tianwu Guo himself didn't think about it, it could only be a shame. But now that everyone tacitly agrees to only fight, then this article has become a very powerful point for the Tianwu Kingdom.

"Exactly. Half of the house we built was suddenly robbed by you, and it was a few hundred years of occupation, so it would be good if we didn't ask you to collect rent, and now you still come to ask why we invaded Bull Castle? Are you sure you're not here to laugh? Zhengde suddenly slapped the armrest, jumped up, and pointed to Mu Shaobai's nose.

Li Wei, Sun Nansong, Tang Dou, and the Heavenly Martial Ministers all frowned at the same time.

What is the most taboo when fighting a war of words? It was the emperor who spoke. Because as soon as the emperor speaks, it is equivalent to giving things to a certain character, otherwise where did the Son of Heaven Chrysostom come from? And things between countries, once they are characterized, many times, even if they are wrong, they can only grit their teeth and stick to it, and the reason for this is nothing more than a matter of face.

Sometimes people's face can be put down for the sake of interests, but the country can't, especially a country like Tianwu that has built a country by force from adversity, once it loses face, it will lose the hearts of the people, and the soul of the country and the nation will not be far from destroying the country.

Therefore, among the three major countries, Tianwu Country has the best face.

But the ministers of the Celestial Warrior Kingdom are not all idiots who want to save face and suffer crimes, so they know when to compromise and when to be tough. And when compromised, the emperor must not be allowed to come forward, otherwise he will lose his prestige, and it is the same reason as the whole country will lose face.

So the tone at the beginning was that Zhengde should be a personal background, don't speak, unless Li Wei gives him a hint, otherwise except for the opening remarks, don't squeak.

Zhengde did a good job in front, but he suddenly jumped out at this critical time.

Mu Shaobai's face changed slightly, and he looked at Zhengde: "Your Majesty Tianwu, what do you mean, I'm the ...... of the HRE Kingdom" He was also a little hesitant, knowing that his next words would only cause more trouble, but he represented the HRE Kingdom, and he couldn't lose face either, so he knew that he would cause trouble, so he still had to continue.

But at this time, a minister suddenly exclaimed.

"Li Xiang, Li Xiang, what's wrong with you?" It was Zhou Dayong who called up. This name doesn't sound very good, but it is the god of wealth of Tianwu, and since he took charge of the household department, the finances of Tianwu Kingdom have been greatly alleviated every year.

Zhou Da turned everyone's attention with this voice.

But I saw that the prime minister's whole person was so soft that he was on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and his whole body trembled.

Sun Nansong rushed over with an arrow step, and tried Li Wei's mouth and nose, and his face changed: "Call the imperial doctor, Li Xiangxin is sick!" ”

This is said to feel fresh, Li Wei is the personal disciple of the founding mother of the Tianwu Kingdom, the former marshal of the three armies of Tianwu, with the strong strength of the crystal level three, even if he has abandoned martial arts for many years, that body of kung fu has never fallen at all.

But he has a problem that he has had since he was a child - congenital heart disease.

At one time, it was rumored that the reason why the old ancestor suddenly made an exception to accept Li Wei as an apprentice was to let him cultivate a profound soul cultivation method in order to extend his lifespan that might have been no more than thirty, so as not to lose a national warrior's talent in the Heavenly Martial Kingdom.

And now that Li Wei is more than 100 years old, he can really kill a few tigers empty-handed when he doesn't get sick, but when he gets sick, it's a completely different matter.

However, Li Weidu has not been sick for almost 30 years, so that many ministers have forgotten about it. Suddenly, Li Wei became ill, and except for Sun Nansong, no one reacted. (To be continued.) )
