Chapter 418: Convincing Prince Wu
Ming Xiu's thin lips pursed, and he exchanged glances with Chu Nian before he picked up the teacup and said calmly: "It's okay, anyway, everyone knows the situation between the two countries now." β
When these words fell, he saw that Prince Wu's face suddenly froze, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, and then saw Chu Nian half-hanging his eyes and said: "If you want to gain the trust of the prince, you naturally have to give the prince a solid account first, we only came out of Xichu before, and the situation in Xichu is naturally well understood, as for the barbarians, ......"
She turned her eyes and glanced at Wuchen meaningfully, now Wuchen couldn't wait to get into the crack in the ground, feeling Chu Nian's gaze, her old face suddenly turned red, and she cowered and hid under the wall.
"The illusionists who are trying to control our three major countries naturally have to unite to fight." Seeing that Prince Wu shifted his attention to himself, Chu Nian hooked his red lips slightly, but his eyes flashed slightly.
Prince Wu's eyes were slightly downcast, and he looked at Chu Nian thoughtfully, "A few days ago, this king heard that it was the Wushuang County Lord who visited Western Chu with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so Your Excellency is ......."
Chu Nian nodded, and saw that Prince Wu's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and after a while, he nodded slowly. "What the county lord said is very true, then you are here today, but you are here to talk about cooperation? You know, logically speaking, even if we are for our own countries, and now we are united, it is still a collaborator and traitor. β
As he spoke, he looked at Ming Xiu and Chu Nian with a serious face, and saw Chu Nian smile, "But if we don't join forces to fight the enemy quickly, and when the enemy eats away all three of our countries, Prince Wu thinks, do we still have a country to sell?" β
The words fell to the ground sonorously and powerfully, as if every word was smashed on Prince Wu's heart, and at this time, I saw that the middle-aged man's face became more and more pale, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he sighed faintly, "What the county lord said is extremely true." The king and His Royal Highness the prince and the county lord have a solid foundation, and now the situation of the barbarians is even worse than that of your Da Liang and Xichu, not only the king obeys the words of the inexplicable illusionist, but even most of the royal family and courtiers of the entire barbarian tribe are full of superstition about the illusionist, and the king thought that the illusionist would really help our barbarians overturn the situation controlled by your two powerful countries, and later found out that the lifeblood of the entire barbarian race is almost held in the hands of an illusionist, so our barbarian, It's a complete loss of soul. β
Prince Wu paused, raised his eyes, and saw Ming Xiu and Chu Nianzheng looking at him fixedly, as if waiting for the second half of his sentence, and saw him breathe a sigh of relief, "This king has also tried many times to ask the king to get rid of the illusionist's control, but every time this king and the king mention this matter, the king has never given this king a good face, and a few times, he almost threw this king from the attic of the palace." β
As if remembering bad memories, Prince Wu's complexion was mostly not good-looking, at this time, his face was gloomy, his hands were clenched into fists, and he seemed to hate the illusionist who controlled his eldest brother, but he also seemed to be dissatisfied with his brother's stupid trust in an illusionist.
Chu Nian and Ming Xiu glanced at each other, and saw that Ming Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and Chu Nian said: "It's not that I'm so troubled, it's not that I'm so cold, it's just that in my Da Liang, the illusionist shouldn't dare to be rampant so much." β
When the words fell, he saw Chu Nian and Ming Xiu looking at each other, the corners of his lips rose a little, and Ming Xiu looked at Prince Wu and said, "The prince is knowledgeable about the world, have you ever heard that Xi Chu has a cold water robe that specializes in preventing illusions?" β
Hearing this, Prince Wu glanced at Ming Xiu with some surprise, and then saw Ming Xiu continue: "That ice water heavenly clothes, I am lucky enough to wear it once, as long as I have that ice water heavenly clothes, it will not be a problem to deal with illusions at all." β
Prince Wu's face sank, "The king of ice water heavenly clothes has naturally heard of it, but the ice water heavenly clothes are only available in Western Chu." β
"Can't you do more?" Chu Nian raised his eyes and looked at Prince Wu meaningfully. "If the prince is willing, we can dedicate the technology of making ice water clothes, if the prince can find talents, he can naturally produce ice water clothes in large quantities, at that time, we don't need to cooperate, the prince can naturally help the king to lift the situation of being controlled by illusionists."
Prince Wu's eyes flashed with a little surprise, and he saw Chu Nian take a sip of the teacup, and continued to say indifferently, "Of course, the prince can also choose to continue to cooperate with us, if Her Royal Highness the Empress of Western Chu is unwilling to lend the technology of the Ice Water Heavenly Clothes, then the prince can only make a transaction with Her Royal Highness the Imperial Maiden in exchange for a sufficient amount of Ice Water Heavenly Clothes." β
The meaning of these words is very clear, it all depends on how Prince Wu chooses himself, if he wants to cooperate with Chu Nian and the others...... Naturally, the material price to be paid is less, but if it is exchanged, the cost of a piece of ice water and heavenly clothes will not be very low, just with the state that the barbarians are in opposition to Da Liang and Xichu all the year round, how could Xichu not take this opportunity to knock on the barbarians? And the barbarians only have the support of a few people from Prince Wu's faction, how can they exchange the financial resources comparable to a country for ice and water?
But if you continue to let that illusionist develop in the territory of the barbarians, Da Liang and Xi Chu have ice and water clothes again, they can't win by illusion, they can't win by financial resources, not to mention manpower, what else can the barbarians use to resist the double-sided attack of Da Liang and Xi Chu?
Sure enough, when these words fell, I saw that Prince Wu's face was complicated, "What does the county lord mean...... What does this king need to exchange for that technology? β
It was Chu Nian who smiled meaningfully, she put down the tea cup in her hand, lowered her eyes and said: "It depends on how much the prince needs the ice water clothes, and such a big thing, we can't make the decision unilaterally, and I hope that the prince will show some sincerity and hand it over to Her Royal Highness the Empress of Western Chu. β
Prince Wu glanced at his second son with some surprise, then withdrew his gaze, nodded thoughtfully, and then saw Chu Nian and said: "As long as the prince is sincere, we naturally have to show some sincerity, the prince will continue to think about it for the time being, I am not in a hurry, in fact, I am waiting here now, there is one more thing." β
As soon as these words came out, I saw Prince Wu raise his head, his eyes flashing slightly, "The dog just drove his brother's wife away, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the County Lord came here to visit here, is this for this?" β
Chu Nian pursed his lips and said nothing, nodding and smiling.
Seeing that Prince Wu's face sank, he glared at Wuchen angrily, and was so shocked that Wuchen shrank back, and his figure shrank into the corner again, and then he sighed, "This king also knows about the dog and Mo Mo's girl, but he is helpless about everything, and he can only say that these two children have no fate......
Halfway through the words, Prince Wu saw the smile in Chu Nian's eyes, and when he paused, he saw Chu Nian speak: "Lord, I know that this is a family matter that belongs to the prince, and we can't interfere with it, but since I have become friends with the prince, I have the obligation to help him solve his worries, besides, as the saying goes, one more person has more strength, doesn't the prince want more 'understanding people' among the barbarians?" β
Prince Wu looked hesitant, "What does the county lord mean?" β
Chu Nian stood up, paced to the middle of the room, waved his hand, and suddenly an illusory lotus flower appeared in the palm of his hand, the lotus flower was beautiful, as if it was real, but it was untouchable, and the dark dust in the corner lit up. Prince Wu looked at Chu Nian with wide eyes, "County Lord, County Lord is also an illusionist?" β
Hearing this, Chu Nian chuckled, and put away the lotus flowers under his hand, "The prince has taught the prince well, I have to say that some of the things that the prince said are indeed justified, for example, the current situation of the barbarians, those barbarian adults who trust the illusionist in every way are nothing more than bewitched by the illusionist with illusion, or because they feel that the illusionist can indeed lead the barbarian unification,"
She paused, half-lowered her eyes, "There are two problems, there are naturally two solutions, if you are bewitched by illusion, then just remove the illusion, if you think that the illusionist can lead the barbarians to unify, then let the other party understand that illusion is not your right way, if you can't do it again...... As long as it can solve the problem, what can't be done? β
As soon as these words came out, Prince Wu seemed to fall into deep thought, the room was quiet again, and the black dust in the corner couldn't help but give Chu Nian a thumbs up, and Ming Xiu on the side looked at Chu Nian who was standing quietly in the hall waiting for Prince Wu's reply, and after getting Chu Nian's smile, the man couldn't help but slightly hook his thin lips in response.
After a long time, Prince Wu raised his head and looked at Chu Nian with a serious face: "If this matter can really be solved, it will naturally be good, then what does the county lord plan to do?" β
Chu Nian thought for a while, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at Prince Wu and said, "First of all, we still have to find out whether that Lord is controlled by illusion, or...... If it is the former, it is naturally much easier to solve. β
I saw Prince Wu nodding again and again, "Okay, then do what the county lord said, tomorrow I will ask Le Han's old thief to come here to talk about it, and when the time comes, it will all depend on the county lord's performance." β
Chu Nian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and saw that Prince Wu seemed to be in a good mood to get up, but he glared fiercely at the black dust hiding in the corner, "Okay, it's time for this king to think about dealing with the mess left by the dog, but it can be regarded as a credit, if the dog doesn't bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the county lord to see the king, this king is afraid that he will continue to passively face the illusionist...... Ah Chen, arrange the living of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Excellency the County Lord, if there is a problem, my father will not spare you! β
Wuchen's body suddenly stiffened, and he said, "Yes, Dad, my son knows......"
I saw Prince Wu turn around and hurriedly walk out of the door, the bride of the dignified prince's family ran away on the wedding night, which made Prince Wu lose face, fortunately, Prince Wu is not so concerned about the eyes of others, and this matter is in the past.
After Prince Wu left, Wuchen cautiously walked out of the corner where he was hiding, and looked at Chu Nian with admiration in his eyes, "You are really powerful, anyway, I don't know, it turns out that you are the Da Liang Prince Ming Xiu and the rumored Wushuang County Lord, today is a long experience, and it is the first time I have seen someone who can use his mouth to move my family's old stubbornness." β
Chu Nian smiled, and before answering, he saw Ming Xiu stepping forward, and he didn't know whether he wanted it or not, his figure just blocked between Chu Nian and Wuchen, and he completely isolated Wuchen's gaze.
"It's time for Lonely."
