Chapter 132: Fanbang Tribute
Based on this, Mu Zhufeng has a reason to rebel, otherwise it is really Longtan Tiger's Den, but he can run out with his own strength, which is really unbelievable.
Xie Yutang heard that he should investigate it well, the affairs of the enemy country are one thing, but the affairs of Mu Zhufeng are another.
When Mu Zhufeng returned to the house, he really saw Chi Wan at home, Chi Wan thought that she could go to the store without going to the palace, but Xiuxiu said that she was unwilling to let her go out, she was really bored, so she sat in the yard and looked at the flowers in the yard.
During this time, Xiaobi and Xiaohe took care of the flowers, and after learning the etiquette, they were really tired, so how could they have any leisure to see what flowers.
Xiuxiu made tea and put it on the stone table, and then went about her own business.
The petals that Chi Wan made before have been sold almost, and everyone likes her design very much, and the clothes are still scented with flowers.
Chi Wan also had nothing to do, so she simply sat on the stone table and began to dry the flowers.
"Wan'er, why don't you go to rest?" Mu Zhufeng walked into the courtyard, still holding the tonic in his hand, and he heard from the next person that Chi Wan did not go out.
So I asked someone to bring the stewed tonic.
When Ji Wan saw his figure, her eyes darkened, and she didn't speak.
"If you're not in good health, don't get these, hurry up and eat, and it's important to take care of your body." Mu Zhufeng said and poured the tonic into the bowl.
Chi Wan looked at the high-grade blood swallow that came over, and couldn't help but have a headache in her heart, "General, you don't have to do this, I hurt my knee, and it won't be a big deal if I raise it for a few days." I don't like to drink these things. ”
"Mother said that the best thing for a woman to take care of her body is blood swallow, come and taste it." Mu Zhufeng ignored Chi Wan's words and brought the bowl in front of Chi Wan.
Chi Wan was a little irritable, how did she feel that Mu Zhufeng came back this time, as if she had changed a little, and she had recognized everything she did.
Mu Zhufeng put the bowl in front of her, with a posture of 'if you don't drink, I won't take it'. Ji Wan reluctantly drank it.
It's been like this for a few days, Ji Wan really doesn't know what to say, she has said it so obviously before, and now it's still like this, she really doesn't know what else to say.
Xie Yutang has been investigating the matter of Mu Zhufeng for the past few days, and he has no time to go to Chi Wan to explain clearly, at this time, news came from the small country of Fanbang that he was coming to send tribute, as a defeated country, it is natural to want the two countries to live in peace.
When Xie Yutang got the news, the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, he had just been defeated, and the other party came to sue for peace and send tribute, which was really suspicious.
The emperor asked in the court, and the ministers said, "What do you think is the meaning of this visit?" ”
"Your Majesty, since you can come here to seek peace, you naturally have to show the etiquette of our dynasty." Chi Fangrui stood up and arched his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the state of etiquette is the tradition of our dynasty, it is not our original intention to send troops to fight, naturally we treat each other with good words, and the most important thing is that our two generals are here, and we are worried that they will not be able to rebel."
Xie Yutang was watching the changes on Mu Zhufeng's face the whole time, and wanted to get more information, it was better not to be what he thought, otherwise he would definitely solve him with his own hands.
Mu Zhufeng was very calm on his face, but he was very nervous in his heart, he didn't guess their intentions when he came here at this time, but mainly wanted to warn him.
But it's okay this way, at least they can join forces to kill Xie Yutang.
Their target was also Xie Yutang, and so was the original agreement, and Mu Zhufeng was relieved when he thought of this.
Raising his eyes and glancing at Xie Yutang lazily, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile, he knew that he had always doubted him, but there was no evidence, and everything he said was in vain.
After leaving the court, Mu Zhufeng was called to the prince's mansion to discuss.
Xie Yutang and King Chu were together, and they also felt that they were a little too eager to come over at this time, and they had just been defeated.
"What do you think?" The King of Chu asked in a deep voice.
Xie Yutang took a shallow sip of tea, feeling irritable in his heart, "Only now they can know what the purpose is." ”
King Chu nodded, yes, only when they arrived could they know.
Three days later, the people of the small country of Fanbang walked into the capital with tribute, and many people were looking at the people of Fanbang and what they were wearing.
Mukar came with two people from Karaba, and in addition to the boxes of goods, there was also a carriage behind them.
When Chi Wan heard the news in the store, she also went out to see the excitement, and when she saw Mukar, Chi Wan found that this person looked like a tough person, but the precision in her eyes was clear and obvious, Chi Wan now understands why this war has been fought for so long, this man is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Because the small country of Fanbang came, he came directly into the palace to face the saint, and Mukar and Kalaba were followed by a woman with a veil, saluting the emperor in unison.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The three of them said in unison.
The emperor looked at the three people in the audience and said calmly: "Calm down." ”
"Your Majesty."
"I wonder what the three of you mean by coming here?" The emperor's voice echoed above the main hall.
Mu Kar glanced at it, and his rough voice sounded: "This general came to pay tribute this time, the king knows that our dynasty is mighty, and there are many generals. ”
Mu Kar's compliments made people find nothing wrong, but in Xie Yutang's ears, the taste changed, and his expression did not seem to mean surrender.
"General Mukar said this very beautifully, but I don't know why your king came to provoke our dynasty in the first place?" The prince couldn't help but speak, and the smug look in his eyes was very obvious.
I think this victory was won by strength.
Mu Kar looked at the appearance of the crown prince, and sneered in his heart, but his eyes looked at Xie Yutang's position, and Xie Yutang did not dodge and looked at him directly.
Such a move made the prince suddenly angry in his heart at that time, is this looking down on him?
The emperor didn't know what they looked like, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the prince's words, as a defeated small country, now he actually wanted to see the tribute, so he naturally wanted to say good things.
"Your Majesty, General Ben dared to ask, as the Son of Heaven, who would let it only lie in the small state of Fanbang, the world is so big, as the Son of Heaven, who will not control the world and strategize. If it were the emperor, what would you do? Mukar's words illustrate their current situation.
The situation in Fanbang is bad, there is nothing to eat except cattle and sheep, and they are hit by sandstorms all year round, but they are different, even if it is not smooth weather, but the people can be regarded as rich and well-fed.
If you want to do it for your own people, there is no other way but war.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and the other ministers felt that this general dared to ask the emperor such a question, if you want to seize the territory, it naturally depends on your strength, no matter what your life is, but everything is not going well, and this must not be a reason to start a war.
"Then I should forgive you for what you have wronged? How many people you have killed have been displaced, and now you dare to say such high-sounding words, General Mukar, you have really opened my eyes. The emperor's voice was slightly angry.
Mukar said with a smile: "Your Majesty, everyone is for themselves, and now we are a defeated country, and it is also to let the people of our country live and work in peace and contentment, I believe the emperor will not understand this truth." ”
The implication of his words is that he will submit to our court. After hearing this, the emperor's anger subsided a lot.
There was also a smile on his face.
"General Mukar has worked hard all the way, so go back to the post house to rest first, and then I will set up a banquet to entertain General Mukar in the evening." The emperor waved his hand.
Mu Kar saluted and withdrew, and before leaving, he glanced at Mu Zhufeng, who also looked at him very calmly and didn't say a word.
After Mukar left, what did the emperor let everyone think. But now they all agree that since they have come to seek peace, they naturally have to accept it, and that it is not what they want to see that war must be fought.
In the inn, Mukar and Kalaba sat in the room and talked, although Kalaba was unwilling, but he could only accept the fact of defeat.
Thinking of the prince's face just now, he didn't fight anywhere, "General, my subordinates really don't understand what this prince is proud of?" Nor is he fighting. ”
Mu Kar was much calmer and said with a smile: "What are you doing so angry?" Didn't you see that the person who really calmed down was the man next to Xie Yutang? ”
Mu Karl was looking at Xie Yutang and the King of Chu standing next to him from the moment he entered the main hall, and after the spies reported, this King of Chu was once imprisoned by the emperor, and it was Xie Yutang's help that he came out.
Being able to come out of the prison alive and without incident, is really very capable, the prince is indeed a ruthless person, but he is not as far-sighted as the king of Chu.
"King Chu? What happened to him? Calaba asked with a puzzled face, Mukar glanced at him helplessly, and found that it was really a wrong decision to bring him out this time, it was better to bring out the military division Manlar to bring it out, this Calaba can only be a martial artist, and it is really possible to go into battle to kill the enemy.
"Let's go, come out with me and take a look at this bustling capital." Mukar didn't want to talk to him anymore, so it was better to go out for a walk.
Calaba circled his head and went out.
In the afternoon, the capital was very prosperous, and people in the streets and alleys were selling, and Mu Kar looked at these people busy with life, but he felt a trace of emotion in his heart.
King Chu and Xie Yutang sat in the restaurant and clearly saw the figures of Mukar and Kalaba.
"Sure enough, it's someone who can't stay." The King of Chu laughed.
Xie Yutang's eyes were always looking back and forth on Mu Kar's body, and he felt that this person was by no means a good kind on the battlefield.
