After saying that, he left a string of smug laughter, remounted his horse and rode away.

Su Ho had already heard Qi Qige's words, she was also a woman, she knew Qi Qige's eyes too well, and Qi Qige admired Zhou Jinghan, which was something that Su Ho had to admit.

Zhou Jinghan calmed the frightened vendor just now, and then came back to find Soho.

"How can this King of Beidi be so arrogant?" Soho said with a frown.

Zhou Jinghan's face was also solemn, and he said slowly, "This Agoura does have some means, he is the eleventh son of the old Beidi King, he was not favored, and he couldn't inherit the throne, but he was not only brave, but also quite smart, he actually defeated his other brothers and ascended to the throne, he was able to ascend this position, I don't know how many people were killed behind him." ”

Soho nodded, "In this way, he is not a reckless man, why is his behavior ...... today?" Isn't he afraid that he will offend our Great Zhou, anger the emperor, and detain him? ”

Zhou Jinghan took a sip of tea, and said helplessly, "He just calculated that we won't do anything to him, he will be so arrogant, after a winter, Beidi's grassland wants to come to the lack of food and grass, if we detain him at this time, Beidi just has a reason to attack, then the armistice covenant that was finally signed before is useless, after all, once the war starts, it is the border people who suffer, I guess, Agoura's move is also to test the attitude of our DPRK, the two countries come and go, do not kill the envoy, these thousands of years have not become regular." , we can't destroy it. ”

"It's a big country, it's up to him to spill here?" Soho said with a huff.

"That's naturally not good, you can't offend it clearly, what happens in secret, no one can say."

"Cold, that's it...... How are you going to deal with it? Soho still hesitated to ask.

Zhou Jinghan couldn't help frowning when he thought of Qiqige, "Qiqige is Agoura's favorite sister, and the two of them are the same mother, so it's not easy to offend, it's okay, I can't let her help me." Zhou Jinghan comforted Soho and said.

Soho smiled, "Then you have to be careful, both of them have a lot of intentions against you." ”

"Okay, it's time for me to enter the palace, the Beidi people entered Beijing too suddenly, and the imperial brother must not have expected it, I have to go into the palace to discuss countermeasures." Zhou Jinghan said.

"Okay, let's go." In this kind of thing, Soho knew she couldn't let him delay.

"I'll let Nightshade send you back."

"No, it's not like I don't know the way back, I just want to go shopping." Soho said with a smile.

When Zhou Jinghan saw Su He say this, he could only agree, he kissed Su He lightly on the forehead, and said softly, "Okay, be careful." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Soho said, pushing Zhou Jinghan away.

Waiting for Zhou Jinghan to leave, Soho sat on the stool again, sighing slightly...... I hope this princess of Beidi won't make any drama.

Soho went downstairs, the original candy man's stall had been cleaned up, and a pot of sugar juice was boiled again in the pot on one side, Soho looked at the lifelike sugar man and couldn't help but stop.

"Miss Su, do you want a candy man?" When the vendor saw Soho, he asked enthusiastically.

Soho came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Yes, help me pinch one." ”

"Well, wait a minute." The vendors immediately got busy, and it didn't take long for the Soho-looking candy man to be pinched.

"It's so nice to pinch." Soho couldn't help but say.

"This is my family's ancestral craft, naturally it's not bad, Miss Su, but you still want a prince?"

Soho's attention turned away from the sugar man and asked in surprise, "Can you pinch it?" Just now you're not ......"

The vendor smiled and said, "Others can't do it, this case, you can only break it alone, now let the prince himself, he must be the same." ”

Soho was amused, and she nodded and said, "Okay, then pinch another one!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute." The vendor had already remembered Zhou Jinghan's appearance in his mind, and the candy man he pinched out was very similar.

Su He was amazed, and his heart was also happy, so he wanted to pay him money, but the vendor resolutely refused to accept it, "Miss Su, it's just two sugar people, I really can't ask for your money, a few days ago, the old mother at home was seriously ill, and ran all over other pharmacies in the capital, but she couldn't be cured, thanks to your Su's pharmacy, this saved my old mother's life, and today the prince saved my life again, I don't know how to repay it." ”

Su He knew that if she resolutely gave him money at this time, it would make him even more unhappy, so she stopped arguing, "Since people are fine, it is a great good thing, in this way, I will accept these two sugar people, and if there is any discomfort in Lingtang in the future, even if you come to Su's Pharmacy." ”

"Hey, okay, thank you Miss Su."

Inside the Imperial Study.

The emperor's face was solemn, obviously holding back great anger, "These Beidi barbarians are simply too presumptuous, and they don't take us seriously at all. ”

"Compared to the old King of Beidi, this Agoura is indeed more arrogant." Zhou Jinghan replied.

The emperor sighed, "Di has always been a tribe that gives me a headache, if you don't drive them back to the depths of the grassland, the Great Zhou will never have a stable day, you have dealt with Agoura, you say, what is the purpose of his visit this time?" ”

Zhou Jinghan thought for a while and said, "Last winter, the grassland was seriously affected, and Beidi lost a lot of cattle and sheep, if it was changed to before, Beidi would definitely cross the border to plunder the boundary of my Great Zhou, and now under the constraints of the covenant, they didn't dare for a while, Agula came at this time, just for their Beidi, deliberately made such a big battle, just to provoke us, once we do something unfavorable to him, the northern border will be in danger, if we have a tolerant attitude, Agoura, on the other hand, will take the opportunity to ask for less tribute this year, and will even find a way to get us to give them some food in Dazhou. ”

The emperor thought quietly, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, why in the end, they will be able to enter the palace tomorrow, and they will be able to see the difference, but, if it is really like your analysis, how should we respond?" You can't really agree to these demands, which will only make them more indulgent. ”

"Naturally, it can't be connived, Beidi is definitely a wolf that can't be fed, there will be a war between the two countries in the future, but not now, now the new army has not been fully trained, at this time, our Da Zhou will also lose a lot, but now we can't force them into a desperate situation, lest the Beidi people and dogs jump off the wall in a hurry, which will only outweigh the losses." Zhou Jinghan said.

The emperor looked sad, "Yes, I also know this, but it's really hard to think about the way to do both." ”

"Brother Chen, there is a way."

The emperor's eyes lit up, "Oh? Say it quickly, say it quickly. ”

"Some of the taxes and tributes can be reduced or exempted, in order to show the great power of our dynasty, a part of the grain can also be allocated to them, but Beidi also has to agree to our two conditions of the Great Zhou, one is that we must continue to be a vassal to our dynasty and must not trespass, and the other is that we need to introduce a batch of Beidi Liang horses to our dynasty."

The emperor thought about it, and finally smiled, "Wonderful, Beidi is a vassal to my court, if they dare to openly attack in the future, it will be a messy reputation, as for the introduction of good horses, firstly, it will weaken their combat effectiveness, after all, they fight, but they need horses, and secondly, we can also improve our horse breeds." ”

"Brother Huang is wise, the horse breeds in the north are excellent, I have to admit that the horses of our Great Zhou can't compare, if we also use the good horses of Beidi to fight, then the combat ability will definitely improve a lot." Zhou Jinghan said.

"Okay, then do it! As for how many horses will be introduced, it will depend on the conditions they propose tomorrow! ”

Agoura in the post house didn't make any more trouble, after all, if it was too much, it would not end well in the end, and the emperor sent someone to announce the holy decree as usual, and Agoura was allowed to enter the palace tomorrow.

When night falls, the lights come on.

Qiqige sat by the window, looking at the bustling street, and couldn't bear to look away, Agoura looked at his favorite sister and said, "Qiqige, when you faced Zhou Jinghan on the street today, there was something abnormal." ”

Qi Qige didn't look back, she said crisply, "Brother, in the past, you only said that the men on our grassland are the best, but now that I look at it, this regent is not inferior, after all, brother, you were also his defeated subordinate." ”

If these words were said by someone else, I was afraid that this person would have lost his head a long time ago, and after Qiqige finished speaking, Agula thought for a while, "Qiqige, you should know that our entanglement with Da Zhou has been a hundred years, and the two countries will also have a war in the future, if you marry Zhou Jinghan, it will be impossible." ”

Qiqige turned her head suddenly, the stubbornness in her eyes was exactly the same as in Agoura's eyes, "Brother, I like him, I like him from the first time I see him, I don't care if you fight, anyway, this man like an eagle can only be mine." ”

Knowing his sister's temper, Agoura reluctantly said, "What will happen to you if there is a war in the future?" ”

"Will there be a war?" He asked.

Agoura nodded firmly, "We Beidi are nomadic in the grassland, and our people are often affected by natural disasters, but the Central Plains is different, the Central Plains is rich, why should they only let these Central Plains people enjoy it?" Here, everything here, should also be experienced by the people of Beidi. ”

Qi Qige blinked her eyes, she knew that this was what her brother had always insisted on, she couldn't interfere, besides, she was also from Beidi.

"Brother, maybe there is another way, if I marry Zhou Jinghan, then the relationship between the two countries will definitely be closer, and when the time comes, Da Zhou will help us unconditionally, and he Zhou Jinghan will not fight with you."

Agoura sneered, "Qiqige, you are simply too naïve, Zhou Jinghan will not agree to marry you." ”
