Chapter 35 Five The Land of Gold
Before Xenas, who was caught off guard, could react, Li Tianhao and his wife broke straight into the house.
"Sister Arina!" As soon as Alfrette entered the door, she pounced on Alina, who held her in her arms and said with a smile: "Little girl, you are already married, why are you still looking like this child?" ”
"How can there be a reason why you can't play with your sister when you're married?" Alfrette pouted, "How many days have we both not seen each other?" ”
"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you. You come with me to the back room to talk," said Alina and waved her hand at her husband, "and the man will be entertained by the host." ”
Watching the Alina golden cicada come out of its shell, Xenas gritted his teeth but was helpless. When the figures of the two disappeared from sight, Xenas looked at Li Tianhao again, only to see him staring at himself with his waist crossed. Xenas was not good, his wife was not right, Li Tianhao was obviously aware of everything. I had to pretend to be calm and ask Li Tianhao to sit down first.
Li Tianhao waved his hand and said, "This is not busy, let's talk about when you participated in this conspiracy first?" ”
"Conspiracy!" Alam and Eglius blurted out at the same time, and the two looked at each other, and both looked at the person concerned.
"What conspiracy? What you say is confusing. "Senas pretended to be innocent.
"Pretend! I suddenly figured out something early this morning. When I sent Catssius to escort the princess back, it is no wonder that Catssius seemed to have said something to me at the wedding banquet yesterday, that he must have recognized the princess. But at that time, you pressed him down and poured him violently. I just summoned Katzsius for questioning, and you told him that since the matter was a foregone conclusion, why bother. It's a lot of things. That means you've known about it for a long time, hasn't it? ”
was said by Li Tianhao. Xenas could no longer deny it. However, Xenas's face may have been made of special materials, even in the face of such a reproach from Li Tianhao. There was still no wavering on his face, but he grinned and said, "Okay, okay, I admit it!" I've known about this for a long time. In fact, when Alina mentioned this to me, I made up my mind to teach you a lesson. ”
"Lessons?"
Xenas suddenly stretched out a few inches and said, "Yes, when you met Alfrette in the Vera Fortress, none of you people saw that she was a girl, but who would have thought that she was Her Royal Highness Princess Parci?" Since your slap has not worsened the relationship between the two parties. Instead, let the princess think about marrying you, so why don't I go along with the river to achieve this marriage, so that you can know the consequences of being slow in this regard. ”
"The princess is that child!" Only then did Alam come to his senses. Eglius on the side was completely unaware, just silently looking at the three people in front of him.
Senas pointed at Aram and said, "You see, the apprentices you taught are the same as you, and I haven't seen it yet." ”
was said by Senas, Li Tianhao couldn't refute it at all, after all, he was indeed ignorant of women to a certain level. Especially in front of someone like Xenas, who has read all the flowers.
Seeing that Li Tianhao was short of words, Xenas became more and more proud, stabbed Li Tianhao with the tip of his elbow, and said, "Let's talk about it." How did you feel about your first taste of a woman last night? ”
Li Tianhao's face turned red suddenly, and he nodded stiffly after a while.
Senas laughed lewdly, and whispered in his ear, "There is a lot of mystery in this bedside thing. I'll teach you a few tricks when I go back, and I'll let Her Royal Highness the princess listen to you obediently like a kitten. ”
Li Tianhao changed color when he heard it. Reprimanded: "You pervert, there are still children here!" Eglius. You take Alam for a walk outside. ”
Seeing that Li Tianhao was obviously very interested in what he said, Xenas couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed. Seeing that Alam was dragged away by Eglius, Li Tianhao pushed Xenas and said, "You guy, what are you bragging!" Didn't you listen to Miss Alina yourself? ”
Xenas said disdainfully, "You know a fart! It was in front of outsiders, so it was natural to give the countess a little face. In the evening, Alina is obedient, so you still have a lot to learn about this matter between men and women. ”
After that, for more than a month, Li Tianhao and Princess Alfrit hid in the dormitory all day long except for daily meetings and refused to come out. And others also clearly felt from the attitude of the two of them that Princess Afrit had completely changed as a person. The little princess who was rude and willful in the past suddenly became gentle, stuck with her husband all day long, and began to reflect the charm of a mature woman in her gestures. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately publicize it, and the news that Her Royal Highness has been completely subjugated by Lord Dils has also spread throughout the Palchi officialdom.
On this day, Li Tianhao took Alfret to King Airul to greet him as usual. Irul didn't just ask the two of them to stop for a while, as in the past, but arranged a feast to entertain his daughter and son-in-law to stay and eat together. During the banquet, Arul suddenly asked, "Son-in-law, you have been in Palchi for a while, do you know why Palchi has a surplus of gold?" ”
Li Tianhao hurriedly replied: "Father, my son-in-law has heard of it. In fact, although the Palchi Mountains also produce gold, in fact its production is only several times that of the Dils region, and this gold production is naturally not enough to cause a surplus of gold. When Palci was strong, it was known for its great wealth, but Palci has always hidden one thing from the outside world, and that is that the source of its gold actually comes from the Nubian region further south. ”
Aroul nodded. He had been worried that his son-in-law had been indulging in his childlike affection with his daughter for more than a month, and it seemed that he had been overly concerned, and the people brought by his son-in-law were all shrewd and capable men, and their branches had stretched far enough, so that it was known from the fact that the source of gold had been inquired about by his son-in-law. Irul naturally didn't know that Li Tianhao was assisted by the intelligence celebrity Yamo, plus Xia Gora had reported the information he had to Li Tianhao in detail these days.
At that moment, Arul said, "What the virtuous son-in-law said is not bad. Palchi didn't really have that much gold, but Nubia and some of the wild lands further south of it were rich in gold. They needed all sorts of necessities, and Palci exchanged them for gold. In order to prevent other countries from learning about this, Palci blocked the news, creating the false impression that Palchi was the land of gold. Later, Palchi was defeated, in fact, there was no need for so much gold, but if the exchange of goods between the two sides was stopped, the Nubian tribes would unite to harass the southern border of Palchi, in fact, for so many years, in order to limit the inflow of gold as much as possible, Palci only exchanged gold with the most powerful tribes, and the result was that other tribes often harassed our borders, and Nubian tribes often fought between them for the right to export gold. In the face of Nubia's harassment from time to time, our country can only strengthen its vigilance and occasionally send troops to punish it, which will not solve the problem fundamentally. ”
When Li Tianhao heard this, he already understood Airul's thoughts, so he said, "Does Father mean that he wants to pacify the Nubian border so that he can free up more troops to deal with Yaki?" ”
Airul smiled with satisfaction: "The virtuous son-in-law is really smart, that's exactly what he means. ”
Li Tianhao immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen asked my father to appoint Erchen to go to the border of Pingding." ”
"Good!" Airul immediately blurted out that his purpose of banqueting Li Tianhao today had been achieved. (To be continued......)
