Chapter 408: Extortion
Helian Mingzhao was stunned, obviously he didn't expect this grassland princess to ask such a question, her sensitivity was simply beyond her imagination. No wonder Kamulon loves her so much, even the important matters such as discussing and asking for food and grass are completely handed over to her to deal with, it seems that he did underestimate her before, not only he underestimated her, but even the entire people in the capital were completely deceived by her arrogant and brainless appearance!
Helian smiled brightly, "Her Royal Highness the princess forgot?" When Xia Guan first came, he had already told the princess that someone was very concerned about the princess's condition, and specially asked Xia Guan to take care of the princess! ”
Luo Yunshuang nodded clearly, "It turned out to be Lord Regent, this Lord Regent is a polite and good person, if it were him, I don't think I would have any reason not to help." ”
Although Helian Mingzhao felt that he disagreed with the grassland princess that he agreed that Dugu Yeqi was a good person, no matter what, the most important thing was that he could complete the task today, and what this grassland princess said was probably not the truth. In any case, he was relieved to hear her say that. originally thought that without the bargaining chip of grain and grass, it must not be easy for him to negotiate this matter, but he didn't expect that the princess of the grassland, who had always been difficult, would suddenly be easy to speak.
"So, the princess agreed?"
I didn't want Luo Yunshuang to shake his head and said, "Don't worry, Lord Helian, although I should agree to help, but after all, this matter is related to my grassland sons and daughters to use swords, it's not a trivial matter, before I agree, I have to ask clearly, how does the regent want us to help the grassland?" If I don't make it clear, I don't dare to agree rashly, otherwise, if the regent has a whim and wants my grassland children to commit suicide together, what will happen? ”
Helian Mingzhao sighed at the shrewdness of this grassland princess on the one hand, but on the other hand, he inevitably smiled bitterly, what she said was too, right? No matter how perverted the regent is, it is absolutely impossible for the people of the grassland to commit suicide together!
He thought about it carefully, this question had been discussed with him by Dugu Yeqi at the beginning, since it was a transaction, it was natural to explain the content of the transaction clearly, and it would save Kamulon from not admitting it. So he didn't have any psychology, but he was a little worried, once he told her about Dugu Yeqi's plan, and she agreed, he would really be opposed to the emperor!
But there is no other way but to take the plunge!
Helian Mingzhao said, "Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the princess, the regent's favor can be said to be a piece of cake for the sons and daughters of the Qilan grassland. When the regent was in need, the Qilan Grassland sent troops to restrain the Northwest Army, so that the Northwest Army could not move south. ”
Luo Yunshuang sneered in her heart when she heard this, and sure enough, Dugu Yeyan fought this idea! The Northwest Army is the confidant left by the emperor to Dugu Yeli, and it is also the most important force in Qianlu. So what he fought was the idea of letting the Qilan Grassland restrain the Northwest Army, as long as the Northwest Army could not wield the King of Qin, it would be much easier for everything in the capital to settle down!
What a vicious plan!
From Dugu Ye's point of view, this can be regarded as a wonderful step, but what Luo Yunshuang doesn't understand is what role Helian Mingzhao plays in this! Isn't he the one who is alone in the night? Why does it seem that he is planning for Dugu Night everywhere now?
"Northwest Army?" Luo Yunshuang frowned, and said with a look of surprise, "Isn't that Qianlu's army?" Even if there is a war in the future, it should be against foreign enemies, how can we restrain the Northwest Army? ”
Helian Mingzhao had long thought that she would ask this question, so he immediately replied with some preparation, "Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know, the regent now suspects that the Northwest Army is suspected of rebellion, so he took precautions as early as possible, in order to prevent the Northwest Army from suddenly moving into Beijing, which is not good for the emperor and the imperial court." ”
"Oh, I see." Luo Yunshuang nodded, pretending to be convinced, and said, "In this case, there will be no problem, if I agree to help the regent, how can I contact him then?" ”
The most important point came, Helian Mingzhao said in a solemn voice, "Please keep in mind this point for the King Khan and His Royal Highness the Princess, only if the lower official personally contacts the two, the Qilan grassland can send troops, except for the lower official himself, even if the regent is here, he must not move a single soldier!" ”
Luo Yunshuang suddenly realized, she knew that Dugu Yeli would never sit idly by and watch the other party cut off her own way back, and she was still worried about him, but she didn't expect him to be on guard a long time ago, Helian Mingzhao, this guy, it turned out to play this role, these two people really played a good game!
"No problem, Princess Ben has written it down!" Luo Yunshuang readily agreed, then frowned again, and said, "However, this is really not a small favor, the Northwest Army is not an ordinary shrimp soldier and crab general, and there are too many people, and my sons and daughters of the Qilan grassland have to go all out against them, but now there are two things missing on the grassland, and it is really difficult to let my grassland sons go all out......
Helian Mingzhao frowned, here and again! I didn't expect this prairie princess to play blackmail! And this blackmailer does not hesitate, which is very similar to the old man in the past!
But now that the initiative is in the hands of others, Helian Mingzhao has no other way than to be blackmailed obediently, he said kindly, "You don't have to be polite, princess, what is missing on the grassland, the court will do its best to help solve it!" ”
"Lord Helian is really refreshing, then the princess is not welcome!" Luo Yunshuang patted Helian Mingzhao's shoulder heartily and said, "The problem of grain and grass has been solved, and what is most lacking on the grassland now is salt and iron tools!" Without salt, the children of the grassland will have no strength, and without iron weapons, we will not be able to create weapons at hand, and even if the children of the Qilan grassland are a group of wolves, they will only be a group of weak and diseased wolves without fangs, let alone against the Northwest Army, even if they are facing ordinary troops, I am afraid they will only lose! If the imperial court can solve the shortage of salt and iron tools for us, then the grassland cavalry will be like a tiger with wings, even if the Northwest Army is a dragon, our grassland cavalry can also draw dragon tendons and pick dragon skins! The Prince Regent just has to sit back and relax in the capital! We're helping each other, Lady Helian, don't you think? ”
Helian Mingzhao is almost crying, this woman is really good at things, right? Although the Qilan grassland is the territory of Qianlu, but it has always been dissatisfied with the jurisdiction of Qianlu, the north and south departments have been in the unmanaged autonomous zone for so many years, and now it is good, she is looking at the imperial court is now in an eventful autumn, and she must ask them for help, so now the lion is open his mouth, and he is not soft at all to get things up.
What is most lacking in the grassland is salt and iron tools, if this problem is solved for them, then the wolf riders of the grassland are really invincible!
And the most important thing is that the two parts of the north and the south have been in constant war for so many years, and no one is willing to obey anyone, if the salt and iron problems are really solved for the north this time, then it will be a matter of time before Kamulon unifies the Qilan grassland.
Helian Mingzhao knew that this was not a bad thing in any way, but it felt really different between being willing to do this and being coerced to do it!
Sighing, he nodded and said, "This is how it should be, the Qilan grassland is originally the land of Qianlu, since there is a need, the imperial court should help solve it, and after the lower officials return to the regent, they will definitely give Her Royal Highness the princess a satisfactory amount, so that the King Khan and Her Royal Highness the princess will bring the grain, grass, salt, and iron back to the grassland, how about it?" ”
Luo Yunshuang was satisfied this time, "Deal!" ”
After discussing the matter, the Erlang of the grassland were very excited, looking at Helian Mingzhao, a native of the Central Plains, he was not so resistant, and even Hector personally and kindly invited Helian Mingzhao to stay and eat, but Helian Mingzhao was defeated again and again today, where is he still in the mood to eat, he refused to stay at all, and used the excuse to go back to collect what they wanted, so he got away proudly.
"Princess, your medicine."
Luo Yunshuang has started to take medicine continuously in the past few days, and her emotions have fluctuated all the way to the capital, which has made her physical condition worse, but fortunately, the imperial doctor sent by the emperor still has some skills, and the precious medicinal materials in Ouchi are also used by her, so after using a few medicines, her complexion has really improved.
However, Kamulon still did not relax at all, and deliberately sent the wild king not to do anything every day, and to supervise Luo Yunshuang to take medicine wholeheartedly.
So as soon as Helian Mingzhao left, the wild king immediately brought the medicine.
Luo Yunshuang looked at the bowl of black and thick decoction, and sighed helplessly, in the past three years, the most she has eaten is medicine, at the beginning it was bitter and difficult to swallow, and every time she drank medicine, she was painful and wanted to die once, but after so long, her sense of taste had already become numb.
When she was drinking medicine, Hector had already gone to report the results of the negotiations between Luo Yunshuang and Helian Mingzhao to Camuron, this result made him very excited, after all, they came to the capital this time for grain and grass, but I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to say something, not only solved the problem of grain and grass, but even came precious iron and salt, this is really an unexpected joy!
No wonder King Khan insisted on handing over this matter to the princess at that time, and they all didn't understand it, thinking that no matter how smart Her Royal Highness was, she was just a woman, and she could take on such a big responsibility! Now it seems that Her Royal Highness is far more intelligent than they imagined! Or the king of Khan was prescient, I am afraid that he had already thought that the princess would definitely solve this matter smoothly!
Luo Yunshuang had just finished drinking the medicine when Kamulon came in, frowning and saying with some concern, "Phoenix, did you really promise Helian Mingzhao to help the regent Dugu Yeqi?" ”
