"Naturally, I dare to boast in front of my grandmother and your old man after contact, otherwise, I am not waiting to be taught a lesson by you." The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his face was sly, and he rarely had a little bit of a young man's air of escape: "I have dealt with him a lot, and this person is actually not a small person who is good at using intrigue and trickery, and he talks openly and honestly." Later, if Grandmother doesn't think it's a big problem, then we should be able to just put it to order. ”

Slowly closing the page in her hand, the Empress Dowager Wulu leaned on the soft couch, her expression slightly more focused: "Listen to what you mean, this General Yang has an interesting person." "Don't use intrigue and trickery, what else do you say openly and honestly...... Hehe, in the end, it's just a military general with no brains. Moreover, if he dares to contact the Tibetan people in such a grand manner, he must also have no fear, and it is not impossible to use it.

"After all, the military attache is not as good as the minister, and there are not so many twists and turns in his heart, so it is easier to consider." After seeing those Wenchen who hid smiling knives in Shendu, Zhu Dan obviously admired Yang Ju's type more: "Being a person in the world, the one who asks for it is just living a relaxed and comfortable life, and he is not exempt from vulgarity even if he is a great general." Sun Er thinks that Yang Ju is quite transparent, and he may be able to cooperate with him for a long time in the future. ”

"Tell me, what conditions did he offer?" A pair of shrewd eyes flashed the meaning of calculation, and the Empress Dowager Wulu gently turned the jade wrench in her hand, and her face was very indifferent: "Being able to defend the border town of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Ju's ability and power are already not small." I'm curious what kind of price such a person will offer to talk about cooperation with us. ”

Speaking of this, the smile on the face of the ruler Zhu Dan deepened: "Well, I'm afraid that my grandmother can't think of it anyway, a dignified general of Zuo Xiaowei will only ask for five thousand gold!" The grandson thought that this would not be a loss-making deal. It's just that, in order to suppress him, I didn't agree to it at the first time, and I will talk to you again by the way. As for the follow-up, with this price, we will have more bottom in our hearts. ”

"Five thousand gold?" Empress Dowager Wulu first raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then suddenly laughed: "This is really unexpected...... "Obviously, it is such a rich and prosperous country, and it can be used for a few thousand gold to smash the defense of the border city...... This seems to be too much child's play.

"Yes, my grandson was also surprised when I heard about it at first glance." Qi Dai Zhu Dan said with a smile: "If it is known by those profligate nobles in the Divine Capital, I am afraid that my jaw will drop in shock." Although this is not a small amount, it is indeed very insignificant compared to Yang Ju's identity and what he asked, so much so that he hesitated on the spot, and even wondered if all this was a trap laid by that person. It wasn't until Luo Yi conducted another secret investigation later that he finally included this condition in the scope of consideration.

Empress Dowager Wulu's fingers stroked the smooth surface of the wrench, and her voice became softer: "Don't say it's them, even Jincheng, I'm afraid I can't imagine that the general of my country would be so easy to talk to." This is also the sorrow of being a royal woman, for the sake of the family and the country, for the so-called righteousness of the men, to pay the price of a lifetime in exchange for a peaceful and stable situation. However, who would really care about this kind of sacrifice that poured all their blood and tears? In the end, there will be people who will sell their souls for the sake of reality. That little girl, in the end, is still a little too tender, and she is bent on relying on her own efforts to maintain the friendship between the two countries. But how did she know that the most unreliable thing in the world is often human feelings?

"Grandmother!" I didn't expect to suddenly mention Tao Yao as I spoke, and Zhu Dan's heart beat suddenly, and I couldn't help but open my mouth and called: "This matter...... Can you not tell Tao Yao? "Although they agreed last time that from now on, they will never use and interfere with each other's political affairs when it comes to the political affairs of the two countries, but when the real matter is in front of us, where can they be so clearly distinguished? And, to be honest, he didn't want Tao Yao to know his face as a politician, he would find that side too vile and ugly, and he was afraid that she would hate him as long as she saw it once. It was a scene he definitely didn't want to see, and he didn't want the relationship between the two of them to stagnate or even break down again. After all, it was a matter of two countries, and he wasn't sure if Tao Yao would be able to remain calm and sane as usual, as if he couldn't quite do it himself. At the wrong time, even a small conflict can be fatal.

Actually, do you already care about her to this extent? Empress Dowager Wulu subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the lower ruler with Zhu Dan, and when she saw her grandson's obviously nervous and frightened face, she let out a deep sigh almost from the depths of her heart: "Don't worry, I'm not so old and confused as this." In front of her, I will keep my mouth shut. It's just," she paused slightly, raised her hand and pressed on Zhu Dan's shoulder: "You have to understand the weight you are carrying, and you have some feelings, you can only stop in moderation." Once you get past that, the choices you face are too difficult. Grandmother can see that she is also a principled child, and if you two are to fight hard, I am afraid that you will lose both. ”

Hard-hitting...... Hehe, he had already tried it, and he knew it was impossible. Zhu Dan nodded bitterly, and just replied in a low voice: "Grandchildren know the severity, and grandmother is at ease." As he spoke, he didn't want to continue the topic, but instead followed the previous question: "Grandmother, do you think this deal between us and Yang Ju is feasible?" In exchange for 5,000 gold in the Jiuqu area, if it can be done, everything will go smoothly in the future. ”

This is also the place where he decided to circle it after countless field surveys. Although the area is not very large, it is rich in water and grass, suitable for grazing, and in terms of geographical location, it is quite advantageous. If they can take it, then they can use it as a base in the future to further start cannibalizing Datang's plan. Even if there is a war, it is very convenient.

"You can do it all yourself, grandmother believes in your vision." For the deep meaning of this location, the Empress Dowager Wulu can still comprehend it, and even smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "But the timing of this transaction, in my opinion, it is more appropriate to delay it a little later." ”
