Chapter 873: The Veil Tent Is Like Mist
After the eunuch of Qi Guo left, Wu Zhe and the others looked at each other, and did not directly discuss with the military personnel, but the four of them first found a secluded room to discuss.
"I didn't expect that I was quite famous in Qi country. Wu Zhe smiled.
Princess Qing shook her head and said, "Do you still have time to laugh at this time?"
Dugu Mo also had a grim expression: "Concubine Qi was able to directly name Miss Zhou, it seems that Qi Guo knows us quite well." If they still know that Miss Zhou is in charge, then the other party's spy system should be far above us. β
Princess Qing said: "The emperor personally told us about the dominant identity, do others hear it on your side?"
Dugu Mo shook his head: "No, only me and Elder Leopard know." β
"Then Qi Guo should not know Zhiruo's leading identity as an envoy. Princess Haruo reasoned.
"Is it that Concubine Qi doesn't want to have more contact with men, but prefers to deal with beautiful women, right?" said Leopard Lao suddenly.
Dugu Mo was stunned and said with a smile: "I didn't think of what the old leopard said, maybe it was really this reason." β
"Is it really that simple?" Princess Haru, a little incredulous.
"Concubine Qi shouldn't like women, right?" Wu Zhe had an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Concubine Qi's husband, King Qi, has been in poor health for many years. Dugu Mo smiled and explained: "You haven't left the cabinet yet, so you don't understand the reason. Concubine Qi either wanted to avoid suspicion, or she deliberately avoided other situations that might arise. β
Leopard Lao smiled beside him, and glanced at Dugu Mo, as if they only understood the charm of this between each other.
King Qi is not in good health, Concubine Qi is in the year of the tiger and wolf, if she is a little weak-willed, she may make mistakes. So it is understandable that in order to avoid the possibility of being embarrassed and misleading the country, she turned to women. In this way, he will neither cuckold King Qi nor be gossiped about by others. It can also satisfy her personal desires.
It is strange that once a reason has been found in this regard, it is easy to take one's inferences as legitimate.
There is a lot of meaning in Leopard Lao's words that you little girls don't understand, and he said with a smile: "In short, Concubine Qi doesn't want to see a young, strong and handsome young man like Prince Mo. Let's just have this conclusion. β
"Is it up to her?" Wu Zhe objected: "Who knows what she did with me? Why do I have a sense of crisis?"
"You can't afford to lose. Dugu Mo and Leopard Lao exchanged glances with each other, and the corners of their mouths showed the meaning of you understand and I understand.
Could it be that Concubine Qi really likes women. Even took a fancy to Zhou Zhiruo's beauty, Princess Qing blushed beside her, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
What is the feeling of jealousy, Princess Qing experienced it for the first time.
I just feel sour, and I can't say it. Because he was embarrassed to say that he was worried, and he was embarrassed to stop her from seeing Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi is really annoying, how can she do such a thing? Princess Qing complained in her heart.
Oh, what was I thinking? But fortunately, Princess Qing's sanity was still there, and she soon realized that she was doing this as a grievance.
She secretly glanced at Wu Zhe with a slightly red face.
Dugu Mo and Leopard Lao were so cultivated that they immediately noticed this detail. couldn't help but laugh in her heart: Sure enough, Princess Qing and Zhou Zhiruo have a leg......
Now Concubine Qi, who is suspected of a third party, has stepped in, which is really lively. The two of them were very happy.
After a little discussion, although Wu Zhe complained a few words about Concubine Qi's request, everyone was generally acceptable.
Princess Qing knows how to take things lightly and knows that at this time, she can't affect the negotiation with personal feelings. What's more, it's a speculation at all now, and it's not certain whether Concubine Qi is really a good woman.
"Get ready. Dugu Mo said: "I'll communicate with the military and pull out the distance of the retreat." β
Wu Zhe reminded: "You also have to pay attention to the guards." Let the atmosphere of negotiations on the lake not be disturbed. β
"Excuse me?" Leopard asked, "What are you bothering about?"
"The eldest prince hasn't left, has he?" Wu Zhe explained, "If he finds that our side has suddenly made great progress. What might we do?"
"Are you saying he might send someone to sabotage the negotiations?" Leopard Lao was surprised: "That's eating the heart of a bear and a leopard's gall." When the interests of a country are involved, how can they be sabotaged because of their personal interests?"
Dugu Mo said with a straight face: "Miss Zhou reminded me. We should prevent the eldest prince from breaking the jar. You and I, and even the guards, must be in good spirits. β
After communicating with Dugumo, the military stated that it would fully accept Dugumo's negotiation scheduling. This is a national matter, and they naturally distinguish between the important and the important. Even the General Department of the Border Army sent more than a dozen masters to accompany Prince Mo and others to escort them near the river.
At the same time, as Wu Zhe expected, on the evening of the second day after coming to the border, there were already supply vehicles from the border army.
The abundant supplies are staggering, and it is obviously a demonstration of support for Prince Mo's family with actions.
"Look. What Miss Zhou said is accurate. What is called an uncertain prophet, nothing more than that. Dugu Mo and Leopard Lao admired Wu Zhe's inference even more.
The current situation is that the border guard is preparing for negotiations, reclaiming the mountains and plains, and rehearsing a big drama at the same time......
It's a bit of a buzz. Wu Zhe naturally couldn't go to the drama and reclamation to join in the fun, but just sent people to send more supplies to condole.
The craftsmen and artists were flattered, and felt that Miss Zhou could still think of her own laypeople while being busy with national affairs, and she was really a good girl who was considerate and kind.
On the third day, the river talks between Qi and Wuhan officially began.
The military soldiers and even the middle level didn't know what was being negotiated, and only the commander of the general department knew that this was about the looting of the county lord of Qi to the Wu country.
If this negotiation does not go well, the two countries will directly exchange troops. Therefore, the commander of the General Department of the Border Army attached great importance to this, and personally sat by the river with Dugu Mo.
Many parties introduced each other, and Wu Zhe was the most brilliant flower representative.
Many people in the military were amazed that this beauty was Zhou Zhiruo, and she was really as beautiful as the legend.
There is also Princess Qing on the side, who is also quite eye-catching.
The commander-in-chief is sixty years old, and although he doesn't know that this is Princess Qing, he has noticed that this woman is completely different. Even Prince Mo paid close attention to her, and it wasn't just because of her appearance.
Looking at the relationship between this woman and Zhou Zhiruo, he vaguely guessed in his heart: Could it be that she is Princess Qing, a royal celebrity in Wudu recently?
These relationships are secondary, and everyone is focused on negotiations.
By noon, both sides were ready on both sides of the river.
Concubine Qi's drums played to welcome Concubine Qi's phoenix.
"That's Concubine Qi?" Wu Zhe said: "It looks beautiful from a distance, but I can't see it clearly." β
This is purely pretended, Wu Zhe's eyesight is definitely one of the best in the world, even the sect master may not be able to compare with it. It's just that the current identity can't be expressed.
"Your Xuan Qi cultivation is not enough, try to condense your vitality into your eyes and enhance your eyesight. Dugu Mo said.
He saw it clearly, and admired in his heart that he was worthy of being the Lingbo fairy who was famous twenty years ago. Dressed in green makeup, she looks as charming as a fairy by the lake. is only a little older, and it is half a chip worse than Zhou Zhiruo.
Princess Qing said in a low voice: "There are many people here, you can see clearly. Wait a minute, and you'll be staring wide-eyed. β
Wu Zhe laughed and said, "Look, what's there to see, no matter how beautiful it is, can it be better than Princess Qing in Wudu?"
Princess Qing's face turned red, knowing that her careful thoughts had been seen through by her, so she stopped talking.
Xuanwu, who was under the command of the General Division, was very good, so he naturally listened to these two words in his ears, and said in his heart: Sure enough, it is Princess Qing, I didn't expect her to come. This Dugu Mo is not ordinary, not only with the help of a rising female rookie like Zhou Zhiruo, but also with Princess Qing, could it be that the development trend of the son-in-law competing for the throne is clear?
After several messengers on both sides exchanged ideas, a salute was raised from the riverside and shouted, "Please move to the Lotus Bridgeββββ
Qi Guo's voice is sharp and high, because it is the mother of the country, naturally the eunuch is the singing officer.
When Wu Zhe heard the voice, he understood that it was the chief manager Mo Shiren who had actually arrived. Look at the dress of the singer, but it is not the clothes of the chief manager.
It seems that King Qi and Concubine Qi have long known that I am coming, so they even arranged Mo Shiren as a singing officer. Is this a hint? Or do they value this negotiation very much, and hope that I can find a way to rescue them from the side of the military state?
Accompanied by Princess Wu Zhe Youqing, she slowly walked onto the pontoon bridge, and Concubine Qi also got onto the bridge with the support of several palace maids.
Princess Qing and the palace maids of Qi each stopped at the edge of the pontoon bridge. Now it's time for the negotiators.
"Zhou Zhiruo, Concubine Qi. Both of them are great beauties!" There are border generals on Wuguo's side.
Immediately, a general agreed: "Isn't it, Twenty years ago, the Lingbo Fairy was given birth to a boy and a girl by the King of Qi, and how many brothers did he envy." β
"But Miss Zhou Zhiruo of our Great Martial Kingdom is not inferior, in my opinion, it seems that she is better in terms of posture. β
It's just that Concubine Qi's temperament is fierce, and looking at the few steps taken, it seems to have a little upper hand. β
"No, it's not to praise our own people, but Zhou Zhiruo is indeed a girl with a lotus step, and she is not inferior to Concubine Qi at all. β
The high-level people of the border army of Wuguo sat on the shore, idle and had nothing to say.
Dugu Mo, Leopard Lao, and Princess Qing didn't say a word because they were nervous in their hearts.
Click--Wu Zhe's white cloth shoes stepped on the wooden plank, making a slight sound.
Boom - the sound of the water splashing slightly on the pontoon, along with this sound, Wu Zhe also had a little heartbeat.
When the old people met, they were actually negotiating here as enemies, and Wu Zhe had an indescribable taste in his heart.
Walking to the thick gauze tent pavilion, looking at the gauze tent gently blown by the wind, Wu Zhe hesitated slightly.
As if she was about to lift a layer of impenetrable fog, she didn't even know what expression to face Concubine Qi with. (To be continued......)
