Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 357 Reliving old dreams
Dao Baifeng continued: "More than that, the envoy from the Liao Kingdom was very eloquent. He stated the interests of the Dali Kingdom. He said that the Song Dynasty was ambitious, but now it is just a temporary measure to favor Dali. The allusion was told to the emperor: "If Daliao falls, the Song Dynasty's ambitions will definitely not be limited to Daliao. The next one may be Dali. By then, Dali will be isolated and helpless and can only be slaughtered by others." '"

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Haha, not bad. What he said makes sense."

Dao Baifeng smiled and continued: "He also said that if Dali sends troops to attack the Song Dynasty this time, then the shame of becoming a vassal can be averted, and the Liao Kingdom will always recognize Dali's status. And not only that, he also took out I have obtained the map of states and counties of your Song Dynasty and have begun to carve up your Song Dynasty.”

Zhao Mu asked curiously: "Oh? How did he carve up the Song Dynasty?"

Dao Baifeng replied: "The Liao envoy once said that if the Dali Kingdom raises its troops to attack the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed in the future. The Dali Kingdom can take all of southern Sichuan and Lingnan. Tubo will take the land of Bashu, and the Xixia Kingdom will go south to take the Guanzhong. The rest of the land belongs to the Liao Kingdom. In addition, the Liao Kingdom also brought many gifts to the emperor."

Zhao Mu described the "cake sharing" scene in his mind, and then sneered and said: "He has a big appetite, he is really not afraid of breaking his teeth!"

Zhao Mu then asked: "How did Dali State respond?"

Dao Baifeng replied: "How else can I reply? Dali is a small country in the south with few soldiers and few generals, and it has already pledged itself to the Song Dynasty, so naturally it will not go back on its promise. But when your Majesty replied, he did not refuse immediately, but was tactful I informed the Liao envoy that this matter is serious and I will give a reply to the Liao Kingdom after the Emperor's brother and Prime Minister Gao return."

Zhao Mu asked, "Oh? So the Liao envoy is still in the city?"

Dao Baifeng said: "Not entirely. Some of the Liao envoys have returned to the Liao Kingdom to resume their duties. Only a few people are still waiting for news in the post. The emperor does not allow you to live in the post because he is afraid that you will meet him. They. After all, Dali's Guanyi is not that big. If His Highness, King Qi of the Song Dynasty, knew that Dali had secretly communicated with Liao, it would be embarrassing for both parties."

Dao Baifeng murmured: "Maybe that's the case."

Zhao Mu murmured to himself: "I see."

Dao Baifeng expressed his loyalty at this time: "It's better if you don't get angry, but don't worry, His Highness King Qi. Even if the emperor has different aspirations, he won't be able to sit on the throne for a few days. The prince is lazy by nature and loves to look for flowers and willows. He doesn't want to Let Dali get involved in the dispute. And my son Duan Yu is a compassionate person, and since you are his brother-in-law, you will naturally not betray the Song Dynasty."

Looking at Dao Baifeng's appearance, Zhao Mu comforted him: "Okay. I understand. I have never doubted Dali's sincerity in becoming a minister. At least I can see it clearly along the way. Dali State relies on the power of Song Dynasty The goods are very profitable. And I, Da Song, have also got what we want. I think no one wants to destroy the harmonious situation now. His Majesty doesn't want to tell me now, because he must wait for Wang Ye and Gao Houye. When you come back, let’s discuss a countermeasure together and then let me know.”

Seeing Zhao Mu's reaction, Dao Baifeng asked: "What? Are you angry? Angry that my country, Dali, does not keep its word? Doesn't it care about your in-laws?"

"And Marquis Gao is not a fool. We have all read the letter he sent us. There has never been any contact between Dali and the Liao Kingdom before. Now he visits the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. He also understands that it is the Liao Kingdom. The country felt the pressure of the Song Dynasty, so it promised heavy profits. "

Zhao Mu came back to his senses and said: "Of course not, I am not stingy to that extent. Besides, His Majesty's actions are not wrong. As a small country that cannot compete with a big country, it naturally has to have both sides. It seems that he welcomed me with great fanfare. , because he was afraid that I would meet the remaining Liao envoys. No wonder he looked a little strange today, as if he was wary of my arrival and was very panicked. It turned out that he was hiding something like this from me. Just let him go. . The Liao Kingdom is now a grasshopper in the autumn, just struggling to its death. "

At this time, Zhao Mu wiped away all the doubts in his mind. When Dao Baifeng wasn't paying attention, he hugged her and kissed her.

Facing Zhao Mu's forced kiss, Dao Baifeng did not resist, but took the initiative to cater to him.

Compared to Zhao Mu's semi-forced love before, today's Dao Baifeng is more like a lonely, resentful woman in need of comfort. The initiative was soon taken away from her. This afternoon, Zhao Mu got the greatest satisfaction.

Compared to the little girls around him, he now prefers Dao Baifeng. Compared with those little girls who are new wives, Dao Baifeng is more experienced and more proactive. Even Liu Ying, who is also a woman in the pavilion, cannot compare to this.

He is now curious about how Duan Zhengchun got together with Dao Baifeng.

In the evening, Dao Baifeng dressed again. Except for the blush on her face, she was no different from when she first came in.

Zhao Mu didn't go too far. After all, his relationship with Dao Baifeng was shady. If it were like Tong Mu Wanqing, it would arouse suspicion. After all, if this matter was discovered, it would be a huge scandal.

After Dao Baifeng re-decorated himself, he said: "I'm going back to the palace first. After all, Yu'er and Gao Mei are not here. If I stay overnight in the mansion, I'm afraid someone will gossip. If you need anything, you can call the people in the mansion. Servant."

Zhao Mu looked at her and said, "I understand."

Dao Baifeng's face was now glowing red. After she packed up, she left Zhennan Prince's Mansion directly. Zhao Mu is left alone here.

After Dao Baifeng left, Zhao Mu lay on his back alone on the small bed. Although he was far from having all the fun, he was satisfied today. He even hoped that Duan Zhengchun and the others would come back later so that he could spend more time with Dao Baifeng.

Zhao Mu stayed in Zhennan Palace for seven days. After seven days, Duan Zhengchun and others slowly returned to Dali.

During these seven days, Dao Baifeng hung out with Zhao Mu every day. Dao Baifeng also completely put down her dignity as a princess in front of Zhao Mu, as if she had vented all her loneliness in the first half of her life.

However, after Duan Zhengchun and others came back, although she was unwilling to give in, she could only restrain herself a little.

On this day, in order to celebrate the return of Dali people from their envoys, they brought back their credentials with the Song Dynasty. Emperor Baoding announced three days of celebration in Dali City. He also held a banquet in the palace to welcome the people who were on the mission.

Zhao Mu will naturally attend this palace banquet. Moreover, Zhao Mu not only attended, but was even a guest, sitting directly under Emperor Baoding.

And the rest of the people attending the banquet were not outsiders. Duan Yu, Gao Shengtai, Gao Mei, Duan Zhengchun, Dao Baifeng, Qin Hongmian, Ruan Xingzhu, Azi, and the three Dukes of Dali were all there.

During the banquet, Ah Zi looked at Zhao Mu and said, "Brother-in-law is right! He really arrived before us!"

Zhao Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I ride a fast horse lightly, and my speed is naturally much faster than yours."
