Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 387 Deterring the whole audience
The people speaking in this room were none other than the head of the Xixia Kingdom, and his mother Li Qiushui.

The leader of the Xixia Kingdom looked at his mother and asked, "Concubine, according to your opinion, what should we do?"

Li Qiushui was lying on her side on the window curtain. She untied her veil, lifted a bunch of grapes and picked them into her mouth one by one.

Li Qiushui said while eating: "What else can be done? If it is according to my opinion, my son should be the one who surrenders. Just like you, little brother, promised before. If the Great Xia Kingdom can surrender to the Song Dynasty at this time, Then the treatment of Daxia is the same as that of Dali. If war breaks out, it will be too late. But don't worry, my son has agreed to be his mother, no matter whether Daxia will fight or surrender in the future. Save everyone’s life.”

Hearing his mother's words, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Now we can also be said to have a strong army and a strong horse. My son is really unwilling to surrender like this. Besides, our Daxia Kingdom has accumulated experience over several generations. It can be said that we have a strong army and a strong treasury." If he surrenders like this, how can his son be worthy of the ancestors of the Great Xia Kingdom? What's more, our Great Xia Kingdom occupies the land of Hetao, which is full of water and grass, and is the choke point between the Central Plains and the Dali Kingdom. The wild land of Zhongtiannan is different. If you don’t believe it, the monarchs of the Song Dynasty will let you break the soil and seal the territory!”

Faced with her son's unwillingness, Li Qiushui did not threaten her. She said: "My son is the king of the country. No matter what decision my son makes, my mother will support you. It's just that my mother said ugly things in front of me. . Xiao Mu'er promised to save your life for my mother. The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh. You are all my sons. Naturally, my mother can't be too partial to your elder brother, so you don't want to do it for my mother. I’ll help you with the assassination or something like that.”

The King of Xixia said helplessly: "I really don't know who is your biological son! As an 'uncle', this boy also ruined your precious granddaughter. Aren't you angry?"

Li Qiushui replied: "Of course I'm not angry. I asked Qinglu and she was obsessed with little Mu'er. You two are not brothers. Considering your age, you can be his father. So what? Come and spoil it? What’s more, I’m afraid I’m no longer a match for Xiao Mu’er.”

"Ah?" The King of Xixia couldn't help but be surprised. "What? Even mother, you are no match for this boy?"

Li Qiushui replied: "Yes, I can tell from the first moment I saw little Mu'er. His current aura is like an immortal, and he has reached the extraordinary and immortal state of the senior sister. Although not I don't know what happened that made him become like this, but there is one thing for sure, that is, I am definitely no match for him. Besides, there is a senior sister behind him to help. Your uncle has always hated me, and he has always hated me. I once had a grudge with her. I think it’s Xiao Mu’er who is trying to persuade me before Senior Sister comes to seek trouble for me.”

The King of Xixia asked: "But mother, you said that my uncle's temperament has always been aloof and eccentric. Can she listen to what this boy says?"

Li Qiu Shui said: "If it had been in the past, she would not have listened to who Wu Xingyun was. But this time is different. When Wu Xingyun was at his lowest, he received the favor of Xiao Mu'er. Although your uncle has a weird temper , but he is a person who understands rewards and punishments. If Xiao Mu'er persuades her to turn the conflict into friendship, then she will definitely listen. "

Li Qiu Shui waved his hand, and the King of Xixia snuggled next to his mother's bed. Li Qiu Shui stroked his son's forehead as he did when he was a child and said, "We haven't completely broken up yet. Little Mu'er can be considered a filial child. He has already Try your best to protect us. If there is a complete break, your uncle will come to take revenge without him having to ask for help. Now your uncle's eight desolate and Liuhe self-respecting skills have completed the third round. Not to mention me, even if your adoptive father is still alive, we are no match for her together. "

When the King of Xixia heard this, he also sighed and said: "If this is true, this little brother of mine is a benevolent and righteous gentleman. But surrendering the child without a fight is really... Alas! Not to mention the child's dissatisfaction, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Li Qiushui smiled and said: "Since my son is not convinced, then you will lead the Great Xia Kingdom to fight against the Great Song Dynasty? I believe that your little brother can protect your wealth for the rest of your life. But in the future, you want to call yourself Gu Dao." It’s a bit difficult to be afraid.”

The King of Xixia was heartbroken at this time, and he said: "After the marriage recruitment meeting in Yinchuan is over, let's talk to Hao'er for the time being. If he agrees to the alliance between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, and everything is as it is now, then we can discuss it. But if the Great Song Dynasty and Xixia If Song Dynasty really wants to annex, then the kid will have to fight with them."

Li Qiu Shui smiled but didn't answer when he saw this. In the Qingfeng Pavilion, in the face of Zhao Mu's aggressiveness, the Liao and Tubo factions were not angry, but firstly it was hindered by Zhao Mu's strength, and secondly, this was on the territory of the Xixia Kingdom. If they took action, they might embarrass the Xixia Kingdom. The national body. Therefore, facing Zhao Mu's sarcasm, they could only endure it for the time being.

Fortunately, Prince Zongzan of the Tubo Kingdom was a flexible character. When he saw this, he sat down directly, then picked up a snack on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. While he was eating, he said: "Eat as long as you want! Anyway, we are giving face to the princess! We are not as knowledgeable as you, a barbarian!"

Seeing Prince Zongzan's appearance, although everyone wanted to make fun of him, they couldn't laugh for some reason.

Because in their eyes, Zhao Mu not only humiliated Yelu Yanxi and Zongzan. Instead, the Song Dynasty, the most powerful country, bullied other weak countries. Small and weak countries can only swallow their anger.

Especially the princes of Goryeo. Goryeo and the Song Dynasty are essentially neighboring countries facing each other across the sea. Now Zhao Mu only finds fault with Liao and Tubo, just because he has interest disputes with them. If Goryeo and the Song Dynasty are also connected by territory in the future, I am afraid that I will be humiliated in this way.

Naturally, they can't laugh.

Zhao Mu couldn't help but smile when he saw Zongzan like this. Then he raised the wine glass and said: "This grape wine from the Xixia Kingdom is mellow and sweet, you must try it. You all have come from afar, and if you don't taste its sweet taste, I'm afraid you will return with regrets!"

Then Zhao Mu's eyes widened, and everyone couldn't help but shudder. Seeing this, everyone also imitated Prince Zongzan's behavior, eating and drinking when they should. No more words.

Although he was suspected of bullying, Zhao Mu didn't feel anything at all. If it's between people, that really shouldn't be the case. Bullying the weak and wielding a knife at the weaker ones are only things that third-rate men can do.

But this banquet is not just between individuals. The princes present here, including Zhao Mu himself, all represent their own countries.

The relationship between countries cannot be measured by human feelings.

Zhao Mu believes in national interests, and national interests are above all else.

The truth is always within the range of the "cannon". He would rather be the "evil man" who bullies the weak and bear the infamy for thousands of years. I don’t want my country to be bullied everywhere like before.
