Chapter 728 Bargaining

Chapter 728 Bargaining
"Sorry, I may not be able to go!"

Hearing Xuan Tiangao's invitation, Lu Xun's face was gloomy, and after a while he shook his head slightly, and said, "Seven days later, it happens to be Ling'er's ninth birthday, and I'm going to hold a party for her in this Xinyue restaurant." A birthday party!"

What Lu Xun said was true, but to the ears of others, there was an inexplicable meaning, because even Xuan Tiangao and the two knew who Lu Linger was.

That's just a little girl who is eight or nine years old. Is the ninth birthday so important?
But people like Gaoyuan Shengxuan Shisan knew another fact, that is, Lu Ling'er was suffering from blood exhaustion, and this was likely to be the last birthday the little girl could celebrate.

"Okay, let's do that first!"

Xuan Tiangao felt that the other party just made up an excuse for not wanting to participate in the wedding ceremony where he married the imperial concubine, so he didn't care about it, and walked towards the door with the two behind him.

Looking at the backs of the three leaving, no one spoke for a long time. Their eyes all subconsciously turned to the boy in black, and they could guess that the mood of this boy should not be very good.

"Second brother!"

A voice sounded by the door, and several figures came together. It was Lu Xue, Kong Xinyue and others, and even Lu Linger walked in with her head poked.

"Lu Xun, I just saw Shopkeeper Long leaving with the emperor at the door, what's going on?"

Kong Xinyue was an orphan, so her respect for Emperor Daxuan was far less intense than Yun Xinyu, a genius from the Wangdu family, and her tone was not too polite.

"Hehe, I can't be called Master Long anymore, I'll be called Concubine Dragon!"

The corner of Lu Xun's mouth curled up slightly, and everyone was stunned by what he said. He wondered in just a short while, that shopkeeper Long transformed into the Great Xuan Concubine?

"Lu Xun, you let her go just like that. I thought you and Shopkeeper Long were a couple!"

Yun Xinyu's face was full of disbelief, although she had never seen Long Zhijun's face, but those eyes alone made her guess that the other party should be a great beauty.

Seeing that Lu Xun did not hesitate to go to war with Prince Daxuan that day in order to protect Long Zhijun, he knew that in Lu Xun's heart, the status of that person was definitely not low, and there might be some unknown relationship in the dark.

It's a pity that Yun Xinyu and the others guessed that the two were related, but it wasn't a Taoist relationship, but another kind of connection that belonged to the dragon's veins. Naturally, Lu Xun would not bring it up and gossip about it.

"Second brother, why didn't you stop them?"

Lu Xue was also a little puzzled, and when she asked this question, she glanced at the two upper-five-level experts from the Chess Academy next to her.

In terms of strength, they should be stronger here, right?

"This is her own decision, and I'm not her, how can I stop it?"

There was a wry smile on Lu Xun's face. The guesses in his heart were not easy to tell too many people at once, so he could only give this answer, which made everyone feel emotional.

Looking at it this way, it really is that Long Zhijun himself wants to climb the dragon and attach to the phoenix, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Forget it, this is the end of the matter, let's not talk about it, let's talk about Linger's birthday party!"

Lu Xun shook his head, and then turned his gaze to the little figure, which also made everyone in the field show a faint smile.

For this terminally ill, but cute and well-behaved little girl, no one would dislike it.

And everyone knew that this might be Linger's last birthday party, and they all made up their minds to give the best gift.

Hearing this, Lu Linger's slightly pale face could not help showing a touch of excitement, thinking of the accident on her sixth birthday, she couldn't help but feel as if she had passed away.

Although the disease of blood exhaustion in her body is still stubborn, but with relatives such as her second uncle and aunt by her side, so many brothers and sisters, and a new master, what could be happier than this?

…………

The news of Ling'er's birthday party was only spread within a small area of ​​the Liberal Arts Academy, but the news that Emperor Daxuan was going to marry the concubine spread throughout the entire capital of Daxuan within a few days.

Some kings have prestigious families, and they all received the news at the first time, and they also received invitations from the royal family. This is also a kind of honor.

The Emperor Daxuan's harem naturally had conflicts of interests, various forces were involved, and were inextricably linked with the courtiers of the previous court. This was bound to be another change and change of power.

According to the ancient system, the most powerful women in Emperor Daxuan's harem are divided into one empress and four concubines, and below that are concubines in each palace. .

Except for the unshakable position of queen, two of the four concubines have been vacant for a long time.

Therefore, everyone is curious, who is that woman named Long Zhijun, and how did she become the imperial concubine directly?
And this inquiry undoubtedly shocked many people's jaws.

That Long Zhijun who used to be the shopkeeper of Xinyue Restaurant was actually a princess from the distant Youlong Kingdom, titled Lilong, and she was less than 17 years old.

After inquiring about these situations, many people were beating their chests and feet, especially those princesses who came from various small vassal countries, they were even more jealous.

Why can a princess of your little Youlong Kingdom be able to enter the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor Daxuan? I have been here for several years, but I can't even see the face of the Emperor Daxuan?
And this news not only spread throughout the entire Daxuan King Capital, but also spread to the outside world. Presumably, not long after, all the small vassal states will be able to get this explosive news.

…………

Youlong Kingdom, the capital of the country!

On the huge Youlong Hall, Long Bi, the king of Youlong, sits at the top, next to him is the national teacher Yaoli, and at the bottom is the prime minister Wei Zhao.

All the ministers of Youlong gathered in the hall, but their expressions were a bit unsightly.

Because below, an arrogant special envoy of a neighboring country was looking up at the Youlong Monarch, without any respect for the Monarch of a country at all, and even had a sneer on his face.

Everyone knows that this person has a lot of background, and the Lianchi country where he is located is the overlord of the surrounding countries.

In the past few years, Lianchi Kingdom has annexed several small countries, and now it has extended its claws to the northwest of Youlong Kingdom.

This sounds a bit like the situation that Xuanyang Country encountered back then, but the situation in Youlong Country was worse than that of Xuanyang Country.

At that time, the Jinjia Kingdom sent a special envoy to Xuanyang Kingdom, just hoping to gain control of a small country that was originally under the control of Xuanyang Kingdom, and had no coveted desire for Xuanyang Kingdom itself.

But at this moment, the special envoy from Lianchi Kingdom wanted to travel to the ten cities in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom as soon as he opened his mouth.

Moreover, the land of ten cities is the barrier in the northwest of Youlong Kingdom. If there were no dangers for these ten cities to defend, Lianchi Kingdom would be as flat as a river to Youlong Kingdom.

But now the Lianchi country is powerful, and it is almost invincible to conquer the surrounding countries. If Youlong country does not agree, the other party will probably use another method to take it.

"Your Majesty, today is the deadline given by my country's monarch. If you still can't make a decision, then the special envoy can only report back truthfully!"

The special envoy of Lianchi Kingdom showed arrogance, as if all the monarchs and ministers of Youlong Kingdom were under his control, and he looked down upon Youlong's ministers by himself. He felt that he was taller than ever before.

"Don't blame this special envoy for not reminding His Majesty that exchanging the land of ten cities for the safety of Youlong's country is actually a good deal. Otherwise, when the time comes when my army from Lianchi comes to see Longcheng, don't regret it too late. !"

Without waiting for Lord Youlong to speak, Special Envoy Lianchi said something again, which had a strong sense of threat in it, and made Youlong's officials look angry.

"Hmph, I don't believe you Lian Chi Guo really dare to call in?"

Even though Prime Minister Wei Zhao was just a civil servant, his temper was extremely hot. He heard the other party's threat, and he snorted coldly, but it was the sneer on the face of the special envoy Lianchi.

"Wei Xiang, you don't know something. Back then, Prime Minister Li of the Red Fish Country was as tough as you, but where is he now?"

The sneer on Special Envoy Lianchi's face intensified a bit, and when he mentioned the word "Red Fish Country", the expressions of Lord You Long and his subjects changed slightly.

Because everyone knows that the Red Fish Country is a small country that was directly destroyed by the Lianchi Country not long ago. Although its overall strength is not as good as that of the Youlong Country, it is not much worse.

Even Wei Zhao had a relationship with the so-called Prime Minister Li.

But now that the royal family of the Red Fish Kingdom has been wiped out and all the courtiers have been taken over in one go, he naturally knows that Prime Minister Li is now buried underground.

"Special Envoy Fan, ten cities is too much, how about five cities?"

The top dragon bi finally had to speak. Even if he was a martial artist who had completed the six realms, he still had to be polite when facing a special envoy from the enemy country who only had five realms.

This is Long Bi's final struggle. If the other party agrees to the land of five cities, then the northwest of Youlong Kingdom will still be safe to defend, and will not be driven straight in by the leader of Lianchi Kingdom.

"Since His Majesty the Monarch has said so, then I have to save face!"

The words of Special Envoy Fan made You Long and his officials overjoyed at first, and then the other party continued to say: "At least eight cities, and Shanguan City must be included!"

Hearing Special Envoy Fan's words, Long Bi couldn't help frowning again.

Because of the ten cities in the northwest, the most important one is Shanguan City, which is a truly majestic pass city, and it has the reputation of being the gate of the city.

It seems that Special Envoy Fan of Lianchi Country is not easy to be fooled at all, and he grasped the point directly.

Besides Shanguan City, the other nine cities, two more and two less, what does it matter to You Longguo?
