The east wing, where is Zhuang Yi's study, which Zhao Qiuling sent someone to clean up a few days ago. The room is a bit shabby and shabby, except for the couch and table, as well as the four treasures of the study, there is nothing else.

I took out the long-term business plan about the military system and the camp and state that I had not finished writing before going out this time, looked at it casually, and had no intention of writing again, and a wave of tiredness hit, so I simply fell on the table and took a nap. After a while, Mei Xiang knocked on the door outside and shouted, Zhuang Yi woke up, got up and opened the door and came out, and followed her to the West Wing bathhouse.

A large wooden bucket of hot water had been placed in the room, Mei Xiang found clean clothes, and prepared pancreas and cotton towels, her face was red, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something but didn't say it.

The so-called pancreas is made of pig pancreas with soaphorn and some precious spices, ground into powder and mixed with oil. During the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, it was called "bath bean", and Sun Simiao's "Qianjin Yaofang" and "Qianjin Yifang" of the Tang Dynasty were recorded.

"What are you doing standing there, you can get out!" Zhuang Yi took off his robe, only wore sinus pants, and turned around to see Mei Xiang standing there stupidly with her ten fingers entangled, and couldn't help laughing.

"Ah...... Madame said...... Madame said that she would serve Lang Jun to bathe ......" Mei Xiang stammered, blushing and dripping water.

"Haha! Isn't it just a shower! How can you ask a little girl to do it for you, then you have to do something, this society is really corrupt. And you say to your wife, 'I'm going to eat, dress, bathe, and so on...... You never need to be served, you go! ”

"Ah...... Hehe...... "Mei Xiang heard this, and suddenly felt like she had been pardoned, thinking that it was a little funny, she covered her mouth with her hand and ran away quickly.

After Zhuang Yi finished bathing, he changed his clothes and came out, and when he went to the main hall on the first floor of the main room with his shallow cloth shoes, Zhao Qiuling was waiting in the hall, and when he saw him coming out, he hurriedly ordered the maid to serve a meal. Zhuang Yi stepped forward and sat down on the low couch behind the table, and said with a smile: "Believe it!" Show it to me! ”

"My father said in the letter that Li Envoy Jun of Youzhou has approved your occupation of Yingzhou, and the people sent will arrive in the next few days. Other than that...... reprimanded you severely, are you still in such a hurry to watch? Zhao Qiuling blinked and smiled.

"It's all expected, there's nothing strange about it, no matter what, it's my father-in-law, just scold...... I'm not that stingy, am I? Zhuang Yi said with a smile.

At this time, Mei Xiang and the other maidservants had all their meals. Zhuang Yi waved his hand and drove them out, stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Qiuling over, and laughed: "Don't be in a hurry to read the letter first, I want you to have dinner with me tonight!" ”

"Ah...... Isn't that okay? How can this be......" Zhao Qiuling broke free of Zhuang Yi's hand, gave him a fierce look, and had to sit on the side.

"This is my home, what am I going to do, can anyone else take care of it? I am in charge of my territory, and the lady must be obedient! Hey...... When Ailan comes, and Lei Niang, a large family, all sit at one table to eat, then it is called a lively ......"

"Is that really good? I'm afraid they may not listen to your ......," Zhao Qiuling hesitated.

"So, lady, you have to learn first, and then you will be responsible!"

"That'...... Aren't they all equal wives? ”

Women always care about their status. Although Zhao Qiuling is only sixteen years old, she is in the rebellious psychological period of a young man, many times she even seems a little heartless, and occasionally she will mess around, she doesn't pay much attention to this, mainly when she got married, her mother said a lot to her, and she couldn't help but remember it, and she was also interested in this.

"Isn't it good for everyone to get along on an equal footing, why do you have to set up a wife, and then marry a bunch of concubines, what's the good of making so many ranks? I've heard that there are a few people who are outside the house! Speaking of which, your husband and I ...... can definitely be called a decent gentleman! ”

"Bah, bah, bah...... You're still proud! Wouldn't it be better if you didn't want to take a concubine? Zhao Qiuling covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Hey...... It depends on the lady's performance......" Zhuang Yi said with a wicked smile.

Early the next morning, the Bohai envoy handed over the poster, and Zhuang Yi found Duan Zhongzhong to come and meet him in the government hall. Zhuang Yi didn't intend to easily agree to his request to return the prisoners of war, and of course he couldn't hold on to the prisoners of war, this condition had to be negotiated. Moreover, someone from Youzhou is coming, Zhuang Yi needs to deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, he will not meet so soon.

"This is Zhuang Langjun, right? Is your Pingliao army really under the command of Lu Long and Li Envoy Jun? I don't know if there is a seal of the symbol? Wu Chongli walked into the side hall and asked with a proud expression.

"Haha! Ukrainian military envoys! Are you here to ask about sin? Or do you want to ask for prisoners of war? Zhuang Yi smiled coldly and said, he doesn't have the Seal Talisman for the time being, and even if he does, it won't show up.

"Naturally, it is at the behest of my Bohai lord Da Xuanxi to urge the prisoners of war, if Zhuang Langjun is under the command of Lu Long, he will discuss it himself, if not...... I'm afraid that I will fight again. Wu Chongli said very rudely.

I also know that since the Bohai Kingdom put down several large-scale rebellions during the time of the previous king, the country's strength has been greatly deteriorated, but if it is just an army of unknown origin, it is not in sight. Although this army had a great deal to do with the Xi people, the Bohai State could put pressure on its ally, the Xi king of Turus.

"Are you threatening me?" Zhuang Yi was furious, stood up with a snort, pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, and stared coldly at Wu Chongli.

"The military envoy is angry! The two countries exchanged troops and did not cut ...... Things can be discussed slowly! Seeing this, Duan Zhongzhong hurriedly got up and stepped forward, pretending to dissuade him, and then turned his head to Wu Chong and saluted: "Wu military envoy!" We are indeed under the command of Lu Longjun, if you ask for prisoners of war, this can be discussed, if not...... Then please go back! ”

"Is that really the case? All right...... When will you release them? ”

"Ukrainian military envoys! What do you ask...... Prisoners of war are to be redeemed with property, so I don't need to teach you this rule, right? Duan Zhongzhong said slowly.

"Shameless! Do you still need goods, but are there few goods in the store? Wu Chongli said angrily.

"That's because you stay in Yingzhou and don't leave, so it's a trophy and can't be counted. We have taken in a total of 810 prisoners of war from the Bohai Sea, and I will not count much, but I will pay 20 yuan per person, a total of 16,200 yuan, and you can exchange it for the same amount of grain, and we will not accept anything else...... There are also two military cities on the east bank of the Liao River, which are guarded by Yiwu Lu and Huaiyuan, and must be returned to our army in the spring of next year. Duan Zhongzhong wrenched his fingers and said while calculating.

"Humph! You are insincere in saying this, even so...... Wu said goodbye! Wu Chongli bowed his hand slightly, and immediately turned around to leave, he was not a fool, he understood that the other party was opening his mouth widely. But bargaining is a matter of taking your time and not rushing.
