Chapter 397: The Agreement between Su Ruanmei and Murong Di
After Xiao Duzao finished speaking, he gave a bow to Su Ruanmei, Su Ruanmei saw that Xiao Duzao didn't seem to have malicious intentions, but she didn't want to be in a hurry to reveal her identity, so she said some innocuous things to Xiao Duzao.
"Aren't you already ready to use the method of human provocation?"
Su Ruanmei asked this, and Xiao Duzuo shook his head helplessly.
"Although Xiao doesn't know anything about construction, this underground palace has been built repeatedly, obviously the soil here is not suitable for deep digging, and even if this person's provocation really works, what family is willing to let their children sacrifice in vain."
Su Ruanmei saw Xiao Duzao's face embarrassed, obviously the candidate for this person's provocation may be his relative.
"If Su Gongzi can solve the problem of building this mausoleum, Xiao will not only hide his identity for Su Gongzi, but also send Su Gongzi back to Northern Xinjiang to defend the city."
Xiao Duzao said so much, Su Ruanmei was unmoved, but when he offered this tempting condition, Su Ruanmei said a deal without thinking about it.
"Lord Inspector, I still have a reluctant request, that is, can you ......"
Without waiting for Su Ruanmei to finish speaking, Xiao Ducheng raised his hand to stop Su Ruanmei from speaking.
"Ben Du made a promise to let you go, I have already taken a lot of risks, so many people have gone missing at once, and I can't give an account to the subjects of the Holy Lord and Beirong Kingdom."
Although Xiao Duzao had a resolute attitude, Su Ruanmei still asked for an extra place, that is, to bring Murong Di back.
Regarding Su Ruanmei's request, Xiao Duzao did not reply immediately, but said that Su Ruanmei would solve the problem of the imperial tomb first, and then deal with the issue of Murong Di's stay as appropriate.
Since Xiao Duzao has already said everything about this, it is not easy for Su Ruanmei to say anything more.
Then Su Ruanmei had dinner in the tent built by Xiao Du, and then said goodbye with great satisfaction.
After Su Ruanmei left, a Covenant girl who was hiding behind the screen walked out, and this woman was none other than Xiao Xiao, the youngest daughter of Xiao Duzao.
"Father, why did you promise this woman to let her go back, she is a very important figure in the Jokhang Kingdom."
When Xiao Xiao said this, Xiao Ducheng turned around and patted the child's shoulder.
"It is precisely because she is an important person in the Jokhang Kingdom, so your father is even more offensive, want to start a war with the Jokhang Kingdom this time, we have already suffered heavy losses, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Jokhang Kingdom in the short term, and even if the Northern Xinjiang side knows that the Concubine Shu was captured by us, there is no leak of the slightest rumor, obviously just waiting for us to put the Concubine back quietly, you can imagine, this Concubine Shu is the most relied on by the Emperor of the Jokhang Kingdom, even if she is courteous in the Beirong Kingdom, but after going back, the reputation will inevitably be damaged, In this way, the Jokhang Kingdom and the Beirong Kingdom will no longer have the opportunity to make peace, so the concubine of the Jokhang Kingdom is now completely a hot potato, I just hope that she can really solve the problem of the Imperial Mausoleum Palace, and then your father will put her back unknowingly, and at the same time let the concubine owe your father a great favor, so the best of both worlds is not better. ”
Xiao Duzao stroked his beard after speaking, Xiao Xiao looked at his father's scheming appearance, and nodded slightly.
"By the way, what's the news from the Dadian Mansion lately?"
Xiao Duzao sat down as he spoke, Xiao Xiao put his arm on his father's shoulder, and said very seriously.
"What else can there be, the saint attaches great importance to the affairs of the imperial mausoleum, the first few failures of the construction made the saint think that the construction of the imperial mausoleum is to anger the god of the thick soil, and it is necessary to use people to provoke the way to make the construction successfully completed, the eldest prince also agrees with the saint's opinion, but the second prince is opposed, the second prince is very interested in the Qimen technique of the Central Plains, so the second prince will come to inspect in person, if the problem of the collapse of the underground palace cannot be solved, then there will really be a lot of attacks on the royal family."
After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, a trace of worry appeared on Xiao Duzao's face.
"I just hope there won't be any more trouble."
When Xiao Duzao said this, Xiao Xiao knelt in front of Xiao Duzao and said some words of relief to him.
Su Ruanmei returned to the workshop, Murong Di and a group of big men surrounded him again, and for everyone's concern, Su Ruanmei only said that it was not a big deal, and asked about the construction.
After everyone dispersed, Su Ruanmei lay down on a separate straw mat, and Murong Di leaned over again and hammered Su Ruanmei's legs.
"I look at the way the governor made the color Mimi, so he really didn't do anything out of the ordinary to you?"
Seeing that Murong Di was very nervous, Su Ruanmei said to him with a smile.
"The superintendent is a mature and stable man, where is the squint."
After Su Ruanmei finished speaking, she picked up a water bowl next to her and drank all the cold water inside.
"I don't believe that he called you over at night, just to talk about the construction of the imperial tomb."
Regarding Murong Di's questioning, Su Ruanmei felt that she should still tell Murong Di the real situation.
After Su Ruanmei explained to Murong Di, Murong Di frowned.
"What kind of medicine do you say this Qi people are selling in Hulili?"
After Murong Di finished speaking, Su Ruanmei seemed a little indifferent.
"I don't think this Xiao Duzao is fooling me, and he doesn't need to do so many tricks for a prisoner of war."
When Su Ruanmei said this, Murong Di asked Su Ruanmei Xiao Duzao if she knew her true identity, and Su Ruanmei nodded slightly.
"This Xiao Duzao is so respectful to you, and promised to let you go back privately, from this point of view, the loss caused by the battle of Northern Xinjiang to the Beirong State is really not small, so this Xiao Duzao is also a person who understands, and his cold treatment of you is actually thinking that the two countries can return to the negotiating table to shake hands and make peace."
When Murong Di said this, Su Ruanmei nodded slightly.
"That's the case, why didn't I think of this, it's just that I don't know anything about construction, and I don't know how to complete Xiao Duzao's entrustment."
Murong Di saw that Su Ruanmei had a difficult face, so he reminded her a little.
"Isn't there still a construction boss living next door, while you don't have work during this time, you can go and ask him for advice."
Su Ruanmei withdrew her feet, and Murong Di sat upright again.
"My problem will be solved, and you ......"
Before Su Ruanmei finished speaking, Murong Di immediately raised his hand to dissuade her.
"Concubine Shuniang, as long as you can go back safely, the life and death of what I am waiting for is not worth mentioning at all."
Su Ruanmei saw that Murong Di said lightly, but she knew that who didn't cherish her life.
"Teddy, don't worry, I won't let you go, if I can really negotiate peace with Beirong, I will ask them to release you and return to China as soon as possible."
Su Ruanmei said and grabbed Murong Di's hand again, and Murong Di smiled and nodded.
