Chapter 68: She Can't Give It to You
Hua Yu was shouting, and suddenly looked up, and suddenly saw two familiar faces.
"Your Highness!" she immediately cheered, waving her hand.
Being in a foreign land, I didn't know anyone, but when I suddenly met Nangong Yi, Hua Wei felt that even if she was not familiar with him, she was very happy to see him at this time.
Qin Ding saw her laughing, like a pink lotus blooming, in the morning light, she stretched her arms, on the crowded street, her actions were exaggerated, but she had the boldness and agility that ordinary girls did not have.
It's still quite well-behaved, not only did he not run away, but he was so happy to see himself.
He was just about to signal, but Nangong Yi sighed, and said to the guards on the side: "Go down and see what's going on, and bring her up." ”
Qin Feng reacted at this time, she didn't know her identity, and this call of His Royal Highness was not herself, but King Huai beside her.
His face immediately sank.
"The Lord Regent knows this crown?"
Nangong Yi didn't answer and asked: "This king is also very curious, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince detain her?"
Qin Feng said lightly: "She didn't say hello to enter the border of my Qi country, this palace saw that she was acting strangely, of course she couldn't let her go, and now this palace has a lot of reason to suspect that she came to Qi country because she was instructed by someone." ”
Nangong Yi frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to speculate like this, she was not sent by this king, and the matter that this king wants to discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do with her, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let her go." ”
When Qin Ding heard this, he smiled evilly, "The regent seems to value this female crown very much?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the elegant room was pushed open, and Hua Yu hurriedly broke in and said to Nangong Yi: "Your Highness, I have something very important to say to you!"
Qin Ding raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, see how you deny it!
Nangong Yi was quite helpless, his tone was gentle, and he coaxed like a child: "I'll listen later, I'll see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince?" Hua Yu was quite surprised, "Who?" She seemed to realize that there was still someone in the room at this time, and turned her eyes to look at Qin Ding.
"Are you...... Prince Qi Kingdom!" Hua Yu muttered.
Qi Guoguo's surname is Qi, so he is not called Qin Ding, he should be called Qi Ding.
Qi Feng looked at her proudly for a moment, "What's the matter?
Hua Yu suddenly realized, no wonder he cultivated high but was not a Taoist, a Taoist priest could not be married, and of course his status as a prince could not be allowed to accept this.
Just when Qi Feng thought that Hua Wei must be sincerely afraid to salute him, Hua Wei suddenly pursed her lips and said casually: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, you are such a high power, why do you have to focus on my Taoism," she whispered: "Isn't this not doing your job." ”
"What did you say?" Qi Ding's eyes were cold, staring straight at her, what is the origin of this girl, she spoke so boldly.
Hua Yu immediately took half a step back and hid behind Nangong Yi, avoiding his cold gaze.
Nangong Yi was quite helpless about her childish provocative behavior, and found her reaction quite interesting.
I'm not stupid, I know how to find myself as a backer.
"His Royal Highness the Prince," he raised his arm, blocked Hua Yu quietly, and said to Qi Feng: "The child is not sensible, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't mind, let's talk about the matter, about the matter of the two countries' Hexing water conservancy, Dayan is very interested, and is willing to discuss with your country in good faith." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned back to Hua Wei and whispered, "You go out first, and I'll talk about it later." ”
Although Hua Wei was anxious, she also knew that now was not a good time to speak, so she turned around and went out.
"Stop!" Qi Feng sat down on the chair, and suddenly stopped him.
"His Royal Highness the Regent, the joint repair of water conservancy is the result of the consultation between the Ministry of Industry of the two countries, although the palace is the crown prince, but it cannot openly interfere in the government affairs, but it is not like the regent, who holds the power of the court. ”
Hua Wei stood between the two of them, feeling that the atmosphere suddenly became tense and awkward.
Anyone can hear that Qi Feng's words are full of sarcasm, as well as his coy attitude of talking about conditions, and he is too undisguised.
But what does this have to do with you?
Nangong Yi was not annoyed, and said with a calm smile: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that this king has great power, he should know that I am not satisfied with the previous terms, so I came to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to discuss again." The joint cultivation takes a long time, and the benefits are not visible, but your country has to pay a huge price in a very short time, so I don't think your court supports it, right?"
"This king has a way to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince compress his efforts, is His Highness interested?"
Qi Ding's heart moved.
The two countries reached a consensus after the flood with Dayan to jointly repair water conservancy, but how to jointly repair the water conservancy is the focus of the negotiations.
At present, the result of the negotiation between the two countries is to change the river to the territory of Qi State, so that the border along Dayan will become downstream, and Qi State will pay Dayan 30 million taels of gold at one time.
But this amount of money is indeed huge, even if it is paid in batches, it will put heavy pressure on the treasury, and within five years, the national strength of Qi is not enough to compete with Dayan.
This is a short-term for long-term issue, although it is beneficial for the country in the long run, but the peak of the summit has other considerations.
He is likely to succeed to the throne in a year or two, and if Dayan is in trouble at this time, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will be able to block Dayan's iron horse.
What's more, he is also unwilling to sacrifice his luxurious life after ascending the throne for unseen gains.
Nangong Yi calculated his psychology and came to negotiate with him.
"Regent, please. ”
Nangong Yi said: "The river can be changed to Qi State, but to leave a tributary for Dayan, the flow is half of the current one, and Qi State only needs to pay Fifteen million taels of gold to Dayan, and it can be paid off in three years." ”
Qi Feng looked at him, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Oh, can the regent's promise be known to the court of your country, has His Highness done the master?"
"Naturally, it is not difficult for this king to enter and exit the Temple of the Apocalypse and obtain the Holy Decree. Nangong Yi looked up at him, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can save 20 million taels of gold for the Qi Kingdom, presumably the government and the opposition will be impressed by you." ”
Hua Yu looked at Nangong Yi, and said in her heart 20 million taels of gold, if she said no, she didn't want it, she didn't feel distressed at all, he came all the way to the border for this matter?
Can reducing the river limit the effects of flooding?
Hua Wei didn't know what was going on, she couldn't understand what they were talking about, she stood bored, and simply moved to the door by herself, ready to sneak out quietly.
Qi Feng said suddenly: "The regent's proposal really made the palace very excited, but the palace wants to add a condition, and the palace wants to ask His Highness for something more." ”
Nangong Yi asked, "Oh, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want?"
Qi Feng raised his arm and pointed to the door, with a proud and cold expression: "She." ”
Hua Yu froze in place, looking back in surprise.
Nangong Yi's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he said quietly: "She, this king and the crown prince are talking about major events involving the future of the two countries, but the prince is worried about a woman?"
Hua Yu came back to her senses, suddenly became angry, and glared at Qi Ding, "Who do you say is the thing?"
"Not out yet. Nangong Yi interrupted her, and her voice was two points more majestic, "Don't be offended repeatedly because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good temper." ”
Hua Wei understood that he was relieving himself, so she immediately saluted and hurriedly exited the private room, without even looking at the two of them.
After she left, Qi Feng seemed to be smiling, and said to Nangong Yi: "Why? A female crown with a low cultivation level, and the regent is not willing to do it? It is rumored that the regent is very disgusted with cultivation." ”
"She can't give it to you. As soon as Qi Ding's voice fell, Nangong Yi didn't want to refuse.
