Chapter 406: Emperor Chiyang's Coercion
Emperor Dou Mu of Chiyang was in his thirties, his eyebrows and eyes were thick and angular, he had wheat-colored skin, and his body was muscular, and he could feel the muscle knots on his arms through his clothes.
It was he who invited Chenguang, but he was not very happy that Chenguang was willing to come to the appointment, he still maintained the high position of the emperor of a great country, which was very similar to his late father.
It was said that he was swimming in the lake, but Chenguang only saw the lake and did not swim. Below the Butterfly Valley is a clear lake, but Dou Mu has no intention of going to the lake, he sits on the hillside, and asks Chenguang to sit down as well.
Chenguang sat opposite him, and the palace people served her osmanthus cake and clear spring water, and Dou Mu smiled:
"I heard that His Royal Highness Lord Feng loves to eat osmanthus cake the most, and he likes to eat spring water, this osmanthus cake is made by the best pastry house in Yicheng, Xinyue Zhai, the spring water is from the best spring in the mountain, His Royal Highness Lord Feng tastes it."
The morning light was slightly stunned.
Let people eat and drink, it must be no good thing, she smiled, and said politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty Emperor Chiyang." ”
"It's the second time I've met with Lord Feng, the last time I met Lord Feng was in Chiyang Kingdom, and I was still the prince at that time." When Dou Mu spoke, his tone seemed to be gentle, but it was a strong oppressive force, not that he deliberately pressured, but that he himself had that powerful aura that could not be ignored.
"Yes." Chenguang replied with a smile, and the answer was brief, and she felt a trace of dissatisfaction pass through Emperor Chiyang's eyes, and the smile on the corner of her lips became lighter.
"After I ascended the throne, I sent an envoy to the Feng Netherworld, and the Feng Lord was not in Hanjing at that time."
"I heard my brother say that Emperor Chiyang sent an envoy to Hanjing, but I was not in Hanjing at that time, what a pity." The morning light smiled and groaned.
The displeasure in Dou Mu's eyes was even stronger, he smiled coldly, and asked in a meaningful tone:
"At that time, Lord Feng was not in Hanjing, where was it?"
Chenguang smiled gently: "This is my personal matter, please forgive Emperor Chiyang for not being able to advise." Her tone was soft and warm, but the words she said were extremely tough, and she directly pushed back Dou Mu's question.
Dou Mu's face changed slightly, and displeasure was written in his eyes, although he did not have the anger of being provoked, the smile in the corner of his eyes had disappeared.
"I know that there is indeed a reason why Lord Feng is unwilling to say it explicitly, after all, as soon as the news of uniting Long Xi Kingdom to attack Flame City spreads, Long Xi Kingdom and Feng Ying Kingdom will become public enemies of all countries."
Chenguang looked at him straightly, smiling at the corners of his lips: "I don't know where I heard the non-existent story that Emperor Chiyang said about the joint attack of the Phoenix Kingdom and the Longxi Kingdom against the Flame City, just saying that the Chiyang Emperor said that 'it will become the public enemy of all countries', I am curious, which country is the so-called 'all countries', is it Chiyang Kingdom, Cangqiu Kingdom, or Yanyun Kingdom?" ”
This woman is stubborn and nasty.
Dou Mu picked out the words of warning, did not go deeper, and pointed to the end, this is to give her room to turn around, she should be grateful to Dade for this, and obediently obeyed, but not only did she not, but she exposed her arrogance, he said a word she scolded, not interesting at all. She was not threatened and spoke sharply, which made Dou Mu feel displeased. She holds a wild country that has not yet been revived, where does she get the confidence? Are those men of hers, Emperor Longxi, Emperor Yanyun, and King Sakura of Cangqiu Country?
Dou Mu sneered: "Lord Feng, not to mention that even if Long Xi Kingdom and your Feng Ming Kingdom unite and the Chiyang Kingdom will not be taken seriously, just talking about Long Xi Kingdom, is the Feng Lord so confident that the Long Xi Kingdom will stand on the side of the Feng Ming Kingdom?" Why is Lord Feng so sure? A marriage contract? Lord Feng, you're not the kind of ridiculous woman, are you? ”
Chenguang looked at him lightly for a moment, smiled and asked, "Why did Emperor Chiyang call me here today?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's the copper mine of Cangqiu Country, I think that Lord Feng should have the ability to unite Longxi Country and Yanyun Country to prohibit the purchase of copper ore from Cangqiu Country, and seal this business of Cangqiu Country."
Chenguang understood that the other reasons were secondary, mainly the Cangqiu Kingdom's intention to compete with the Chiyang Kingdom for that volcanic sulfur mine, and the Chiyang Emperor couldn't swallow this breath, and wanted to blockade the Cangqiu Kingdom in trade and put pressure on the Cangqiu Kingdom.
Once the copper ore business chain exported by Cangqiu State to the three countries is broken, it will cause huge losses to Cangqiu State. At the same time, the Chiyang Kingdom will definitely cut off trade in other aspects of the Cangqiu Kingdom, such as timber and grain. As far as the current Chiyang Kingdom is concerned, it does have this ability.
Being blatantly threatened and forcibly kidnapped as an accomplice, but you can only listen obediently, this is not pleasant at all.
Chenguang looked at Dou Mu's arrogant face that was sure that she would be compliant, paused, and said:
"I can call the shots in this aspect of the Feng Ying Kingdom, but on the side of the Long Xi Kingdom and the Yanyun Kingdom, Emperor Chiyang also said just now, how can I have the ability to influence the thoughts of the emperors of the other two countries."
Dou Mupi said with a smile: "I also said just now, I believe in the ability of the Phoenix Lord. ”
This meant forcing her to do what he said, and she didn't even have the right to bargain.
Dou Mu looked at her with a smile, the calm eyes of the morning light made him feel happy, when he was laughing, a few fine lines appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he said to her in a sincere tone, cordially and gently:
"Lord Feng, as a woman, it's already remarkable that you can get to the point where you are today, but no matter how capable you are, the Phoenix Netherworld is just a wild country. Don't forget, now that the Chiyang Kingdom borders the Feng Ming Kingdom, as long as I want to attack the Feng Ming Kingdom, it will be like searching for things. Do you think Long Xiguo will really take the risk of going against Chiyang to help you, you're not the kind of stupid and arrogant woman, right? ”
Chenguang looked at him, a stiff smile on his lips. If it was good for the Feng Ying Kingdom itself, of course she wouldn't care about destroying the trade lifeline of the Cangqiu Kingdom, but if she was threatened to do this kind of thing, she wouldn't get any benefit, and there was nothing more annoying than this.
Swimming in the lake?
Swim a big-headed ghost!
In the end, the morning light didn't even touch the clear water of the lake.
When leaving, Dou Muxuan sent Chenguang to the carriage, probably as a consolation for her.
Standing under the carriage, Dou Mu looked at Chenguang's face and said with a smile:
"I heard that Lord Feng was about to get married, so I said 'congratulations', but I still felt that Emperor Longxi was not a good match for Lord Feng. Long Xiguo is declining, with the current situation, sooner or later it will collapse, such a smart and beautiful woman as His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord, I think that she should still be on a par with the most powerful man in the world, so as to live up to the beauty and talent of the Phoenix Lord. ”
Morning Light read something in his eyes.
I'm not blind yet, she thought to herself, smiling rather than smiling, and politely prevaricating, she turned and boarded the carriage and left the Butterfly Valley.
Chenguang didn't say anything to his words, Dou Mu looked at the direction of the carriage slowly leaving, and sneered.
