Chapter 359: Escape from the Line of Fire
The gifts were not only sent by the queen, but also by the general of Malaysia and some dignitaries of the Yue Clan, so many gifts were also multiple. It's like a beauty, the queen really sent twenty of them as she said at the banquet that day, and the other Wenchen generals thought that Liu Yue was good at it, and they all sent it over in three or two, causing the beauties to fill the whole room, and Liu Yue couldn't even squeeze his body in.
"What should I do?" Timur looked at Liu Yu angrily, "They are here, where do I sleep?" And these things outside, you should find a way to solve them! β
Liu Yu also complained a little bitterly in his heart, he was also tired when he had just participated in the coup, and he wanted to come back and take a good rest, who knew that there would be such a thing.
"Does anyone understand me?" Liu Yu shouted at the person in front of him, but unfortunately the women and soldiers of the Yue Clan in front of him were all staring at Liu Yu with big eyes, obviously not understanding what Liu Yu said.
Giving gifts is about the heart, at most find someone to write a few words in Chinese characters to indicate the identity of the giver, equipped with a translator such a professional thing to give gifts will not think of doing it.
"Envoy, do you need the little woman to translate for you?"
A woman's voice came from behind Liu Yu, Liu Yu's nerves were still in a tense state at this time, and the most unbearable thing was the abnormality from behind. Hearing this, he almost subconsciously turned around, and the repeating crossbow in his hand was already aimed at the person who came, and Loulan's envoy cut out.
Seeing Liu Yue's fierce gaze sweeping over, and still holding the life-threatening repeating crossbow in her hand, she staggered and almost fell to the ground, with a panicked face and no composure and confidence when she spoke. Liu Yu saw that it was a cut and breathed a sigh of relief. Put down the repeating crossbow. But it still hasn't been taken back. It seems to be on guard at any time.
When Chetu took a breath and calmed down, she realized that she was so afraid of this man, and she thought that she could calm down and gain the support of this Shun envoy through her eloquence. At this time, the people of the Yue Clan are all paying attention to the current coup d'Γ©tat, and the precautions to prevent the envoys of the Shun Dynasty and the envoys of Loulan from meeting have also been relaxed, and Chetu has the opportunity to come over and approach Liu Yu alone, and Chetu, who knows how to grasp the opportunity, will not miss it.
"What is Miss Chetu here for?" Liu Yu's attitude towards Chetu is still cold, not only because her deputy envoy slandered him at yesterday's banquet. is even more because Liu Yu has no interest in making friends with Loulan at all. Unless he intends to be caught by the Tibetans and herded sheep on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
"The little woman hopes that the envoy will represent the Shun Dynasty and form an alliance with the Loulan Kingdom. The situation in Loulan is stable, and the Biyue clan ......"
"No talk!" Che Tu's statement was rejected by Liu Yu angrily.
Seeing that Liu Yu was disdainful of her, Che Tu hurriedly said: "The purpose of the envoy coming to the Western Regions is not to ally with the countries of the Western Regions and jointly resist the Turks? Now that our Loulan country is strong and has sufficient soldiers and horses, it will definitely help your country sweep away the Turks! β
Liu Yu sneered: "If the envoy remembers correctly, there are still more than a dozen countries such as Gaochang between Loulan and the Turks, is it before you send troops." Do you still need to send troops to help you destroy these dozen countries? β
"No, we can borrow the ...... of the Daoyue Clan"
"That's to help you destroy the Yue Clan?"
Chetu felt that he really couldn't match this powerful envoy with a hundred mouths. She said again: "The countries between Loulan and the Turks have friendly relations with Loulan, and the Loulan countries have entered the Turks and passed through their countries, presumably they will not have any opinions. If Loulan wants to destroy these countries, it can do it without the help of the Shun Dynasty, Loulan is a country that yearns for peace. β
Liu Yuxin said that this Chetu really likes to tell lies, probably because diplomacy only focuses on interests and not principles, if Loulan yearns for peace, then why should he ally with the Shun Dynasty and send troops to attack the Turks? In fact, Loulan's alliance with the Shun Dynasty was just to dominate the Western Regions and drive Tubo to the south at the same time. It's not that Loulan doesn't want to destroy those dozen or so small countries, mainly because they don't threaten Loulan's territory, plus these countries have more or less alliances, and they will lose all of them, so they will hate the same enemy, and they will not let Loulan benefit.
Now among the recognized enemies of the countries of the Western Regions, the Turks have been eliminated, and the Tibetans and the newly rising Khwarakers are what they pay attention to.
Liu Yu said: "Before the envoy set off, maybe he really needed to get the countries in the Western Regions to be able to eradicate the Turks, but now it seems that there is no need for them, because the Turks are already like water dogs, and they will be wiped out by the army of our Dashun Dynasty at any time!" Your Loulan is far away from the Turks, and the envoy thinks that Loulan should not participate in this alliance. β
Don't give up, but also fight on the basis of reason.
Liu Yu lifted the repeating crossbow in his hand again, and Che Tu, who originally wanted to get close to Liu Yu to reason, had to take two steps back. She clearly saw that Liu Yu's fingers hooked on the machine and would shoot arrows at any time was not a joke with her, with the arrogance of this envoy she had seen, it was not a gesture to scare people.
Liu Yu looked at the room full of women from the Yue Clan and the soldiers giving gifts in front of him and said: "Miss Chetu should be obvious to all, this is the sincerity of the Yue Clan to form an alliance with the Shun Dynasty, what sincerity can Miss Chetu show?" β
Che Tu hurriedly said: "No matter what kind of sincerity the envoy needs, Loulan Guo will do it." β
Liu Yuxin said that this cut is really dead-skinned, and it won't work if you don't make some ruthless moves. Liu Yu said with a somewhat treacherous and cold smile on his face: "Speaking of which, the envoy really lacks a good impression of Miss Chetu and the envoy of your country, and the reason for this is that Miss Chetu should know that this envoy has the most important face outside, if Miss Chetu is willing to get acquainted with the young lady who spoke disrespectfully yesterday, come to get acquainted with this envoy...... Feelings, that ...... Hehe, this envoy does not mind adding your country's name to the list of alliances. β
Liu Yu specially accentuated the word "feelings" to make Che Tu understand that what he wanted was not "familiar feelings", but something else.
Chetu's expression suddenly became very cramped, although she had long expected that the envoy of the Shun Dynasty would not be with him, but she also did not expect this person to be so shameless. It's just a verbal confrontation, but he wants to retaliate in this most insulting and unacceptable way for women. But she also had to admit that such a condition could not be refused. As Liu Yu said, it doesn't matter whether the Shun Dynasty is allied with the countries of the Western Regions now, and I believe that the envoys of the Shun Dynasty will send envoys to the Western Regions to seek allies will also be the last time, and in the future, Loulan will send envoys to the Shun Dynasty, and the Shun Dynasty will definitely not be seen as before.
Chetu gritted his teeth and said, "I hope the envoy will do what he says!" β
After saying that, he didn't look back and went back the way he came, and he didn't even give Liu Yu a chance to make another "unreasonable request". "Hey!" Liu Yu screamed, Chetu quickened his steps and wiped his face, as if he was wiping away the tears left by the humiliation, and the person quickly disappeared into the courtyard. Liu Yu could only smile bitterly at her back.
"This arrogant chick won't take it seriously, will he?"
Timur on the side glared at Liu Yue and snorted coldly: "Bad guy! β
Liu Yu felt like he had become a sinner, and he couldn't even look at the upright little beggar.
Just as Liu Yue was trying to find a way to return the women and gifts in front of him, Gaochang's envoy Ural also sneaked into the courtyard, and when he saw Liu Yu at the door, he greeted him with a smile.
"Honorable envoy, I wonder if the Shun Dynasty is willing to reconcile with Gao Chang?" Ural said with a smile on his face, "Gao Chang is extremely sincere in forming an alliance with the Shun Dynasty, and the envoy may wish to discuss it in detail if he is interested." β
Liu Yu did not beat around the bush and said: "Before the envoy set off, the Son of Heaven specially instructed the envoy to reconcile with the Yue clan and Gaochang, and in resisting the Turks, Gaochang was even more determined than the Yue clan. This is also the ally that Shun is willing to make. I wonder if I can go to your country to talk? β
The drunkard's intention was not to drink, Liu Yu just wanted to go back to the Central Plains by sending Gaochang to the way.
Ural didn't expect the envoy of the Shun Dynasty to be so talkative, and asked in a happy mood: "Then the Shun Dynasty promised to send troops to assist Gaochang?" β
Dispatch troops? Liu Yu thought about it for a while, this Ural is really anxious, it may be that the situation in Gaochang is so urgent that foreign aid is very much needed, this kind of empty promise, Liu Yu doesn't mind making more of it.
"Of course, we have to send troops, now that the Hui have destroyed the country, the Shun Dynasty wants to support a strong ally in the Western Regions to deter the Western Regions and the Turkic Old Lands. Belch...... Your Excellency might as well go back and prepare, this envoy will be ready to sign an alliance with the Yue clan tomorrow, and he will be able to go to Gaochang with you the day after tomorrow. β
The Urals were overjoyed and hurriedly said that they would go back to prepare. When Ural left, Liu Yu felt that cooperating with Gao Chang was a very unreliable thing, and he couldn't say where it was unreliable for the time being.
That night, Liu Yu went to the palace of the Yue clan to discuss the specific covenant with the queen, and there was no turmoil in the negotiation part, and Malaysia was also present, feeling that the conditions proposed by Liu Yu were very in line with the interests of the two countries, but in resisting the Turks, both Malaysia and the queen appeared to be insincere, because the most powerful enemy they were facing now was Khorezm, who had just annexed Qiuzi. After hearing that Liu Yuai was about to go home after signing the covenant, Malaysia said that his face was relaxed, but the queen was a little nervous.
"Can't the envoy stay in Yueshi for a little longer?" The queen looked at Liu Yu with an anxious look.
Liu Yu said with a smile: "This envoy has been out for a long time, if he can't return to China earlier to return to the Son of Heaven, then maybe the Son of Heaven will think that this envoy has had an accident, and he may not approve of the national letter he brought back later." β
Ma was present, and the queen didn't say anything, and confirmed the details of the covenant signed tomorrow with Liu Yu, and then found someone to send Liu Yu back. Liu Yu had just left the palace, and in the afternoon, he asked Liu Yu why he was not the general's bodyguard, and said nervously: "Envoy...... The queen wants to send troops to keep you, and you should leave the Yue clan earlier. β
Although Liu Yue expected that the queen was unwilling to let him go, he didn't expect the queen to play yin. If you can't keep his heart, you have to keep his people. Liu Yuxin said that if the Yueshi lost his freedom and became a tool instructed by others, it would be better to die headlong.
"Xie Lu, thank you for reminding me!" Liu Yu patted the soldier's shoulder, "I hope to have the opportunity to meet again in the future." β
Liu Yu hurried to the National Post House, he wanted to leave the Yue clan before the queen started to take people, now the city and the outside are controlled by the queen and the Malaysian general's people, if you go through the city gate controlled by Malaysia, you may not have the opportunity to leave the Yue clan.
