After the first fool

Chapter 259 Main battle or main peace?

Rejecting the proposal from the envoy of Lan Yu Kingdom to visit Lan Tianci, Bai Mo waved his hand and asked the eunuch to send the envoy to the palace to rest, and ordered the courtiers to disperse, and took Mo Qing and Bai Qingluo to the imperial study to discuss matters. Qing glanced at Mo Xiaoran, and frowned secretly: "Ran'er, you'd better go home first."

After all, the next thing must be important. What is a woman joining in for?It's not that the prime minister has any opinion on Mo Xiaoran, but a deep-rooted idea has already taken shape. In his heart, women should be embroidering flowers at home and fluttering butterflies. As for national affairs, they are done by men.

"Okay." Mo Xiaoran agreed with a smile, then turned her head to look at Bai Qingluo: "I'll go back to the house first, you two can talk slowly."

"Wait a minute," Bai Qingluo called out, "Qingfeng."

"The slave is here." Qingfeng, who had been staying outside the hall, walked in immediately.

"Escort the princess back." He couldn't guarantee that, what if someone tried to harm her?
princess?

The address he called out naturally made Mo Xiaoran's cheeks burn, and her heart rippled.

"Yes, master." Qingfeng clasped her fists in response, and made a gesture of invitation to Mo Xiaoran. After saying goodbye to the three of them, she followed Qingfeng and walked towards the outside of the palace step by step. Under the bright sunshine, the entire palace As if shrouded in a layer of golden light, in the imperial garden, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, and everywhere is colorful.

The breeze was blowing, and Mo Xiaoran walked forward, looking at Qingfeng beside her from the corner of her eye, and asked after a long time, "What about Suilang and Zhuyue?" Aren't the three of them always by Bai Qingluo's side? ?

"The two of them are secretly protecting the master, and they won't show up until necessary." Qingfeng said calmly.

"Oh," Mo Xiaoran nodded. Along the way, she chatted with Qingfeng occasionally, but she never mentioned a person's name. Asked if Qingfeng still remembered Xiao Zhu, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

After returning to the prime minister's mansion, the two of them went in directly through the main entrance. Many servants looked at Mo Xiaoran in astonishment. It was hard to imagine how she left the mansion.

"You go back," Mo Xiaoran issued the order to evict guests after walking back to the courtyard.

"Yes," Qingfeng responded lightly, but did not move. Instead, he looked at Mo Xiaoran hesitantly, hesitating to speak.

"Why, do you still have something to say?" Mo Xiaoran slightly raised her eyebrows, her clear eyes flickered slightly.

"Princess, don't worry, after the three-party peace talks are over, the master will definitely marry you as soon as possible." As if afraid of Mo Xiaoran's wild thoughts, Qingfeng hesitated for a while before speaking. peace talks, but what opinion does the master have.

"I know, besides, have you seen that I desperately want to marry him?" Mo Xiaoran asked back with a smile.

The corner of Qingfeng's mouth twitched slightly, urgent?Sorry, he only saw that the master was desperately wanting to marry the princess back as soon as possible, but he really didn't see the rest.

"The servant is talking too much." Qingfeng lowered her head a little annoyed, "The princess has a good rest, the servant is leaving."

"Goodbye." Mo Xiaoran watched his figure disappear into the courtyard before turning and walking into the room.

The palace, the imperial study.

Bai Mo was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, his resolute face sank slightly, his index finger tapped the tabletop of the dragon table lightly, making very regular cracking sounds, "Uncle Emperor, Prime Minister, what do you think Xuanyuan is like?" Will Wushang agree to the tripartite peace talks? I am worried that if he refuses to come, he will play some tricks in secret to sabotage the progress of the peace talks."

It's not that Bai Mo used the heart of a villain to measure the heart of a gentleman, but Xuanyuan Wushang really did such a thing. Look at this time, he dared to ambush halfway, trying to assassinate the envoy of the Blue Feather Kingdom, not only that , and even tried to put the blame on Dongyao. This person has a secretive mind, so we must guard against it.

Bai Qingluo's eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc: "As long as Xuanyuan is not stupid, he should know how to adapt to the current situation." Now, the alliance between Lan Yu and Xuanyuan has broken down, and they have turned to Dong Yao. Well, Xuanyuan Wushang's brain has never been flooded with water, so he should know that the Three Kingdoms peace talks are imperative, no matter whether he agrees or not, he can't stop this matter.

This is the time!
"The emperor can immediately revise a letter and send it to Xuanyuan immediately to test Xuanyuan's Wushang attitude." Mo Qing suggested, after all, with such a big hidden danger in front of them, how dare they ignore it?If Xuanyuan Wushang could nod his head and agree to the peace talks, then everyone would be happy, but what if he refused?I'm afraid they have to prepare for the battle with Xuanyuan early.

Bai Mo nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, he immediately picked up his pen and wrote down a peace agreement, and ordered the guards to send it to Xuanyuan Country Xuanyuan Wushang overnight.

"I always feel that this person will not give in easily." He rubbed the center of his brows wearily, and sighed faintly.

Bai Qingluo raised the corners of his mouth coldly, "No? Now that the Three Kingdoms situation has formed, can it be shaken by manpower? Even if Xuanyuan Wushang refuses? As long as Lan Yu doesn't move, he won't be able to cause any trouble "Unless Xuanyuan Wushang dared to risk the consequences of the country's ruin and death, and fight Dong Yao to the death, otherwise, he had only one way, which was to agree to peace talks!
As Bai Qingluo expected, when the news of the failed assassination came back to Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan turned pale with anger, and his anger spread throughout the palace.

"This is the elite soldier under Gu's command?" Xuanyuan Wushang laughed back, standing on the court hall, coldly looking at the courtiers who did not even dare to take a breath, the corner of his mouth curled into a mocking arc, "This is the one-in-a-million military general you usually hold high? Nonsense! They are all trash!"

When the king was angry, his corpse floated thousands of miles away, and the entire court seemed to be covered with cold currents. Everyone lowered their heads and wished to treat themselves as transparent air. At this time, whoever made a sound was courting death!

"Your Majesty." An eunuch rushed in from outside the palace, holding a booklet in his hand.

Xuanyuan Wushang narrowed his gloomy and cold eyes slightly, his whole body was terrified, "Present it."

His icy cold voice lingered endlessly in the hall, everyone held their breaths, and no one dared to look directly at Tian Yan, an eunuch immediately delivered the fold to Xuanyuan Wushang, he opened it with his slender fingers, and immediately, The voluptuous and exquisite face was covered with frost, and it was hideous.

"Guess who sent this booklet?" The dark brown eyes raised slightly, and they swept across the courtiers below one by one, with a creepy smile slightly pulled out from the corner of their mouths, those eyes were so cold that there was no warmth at all. .

The courtiers turned their heads and looked at each other, trying even harder to reduce their sense of existence, secretly hating the person who sent Xuanyuan Wushang the booklet, what's the mess at this time?

"Heh," Xuanyuan Wushang sneered when he saw that the courtiers were afraid to speak. Suddenly, his face sank, and he threw the zhezi from the high platform to the ground with a wave of his arm. "Look carefully, it's Dongyao! Bai Mo How dare you repair the book and ask me to send people to participate in some shitty Three Kingdoms peace talks?"

"Hiss—" Suddenly, there was a cold hiss from the crowd, and the ministers obviously did not expect that Bai Mo would repair the book himself, wouldn't this add fuel to Xuanyuan Wushang's fire?
"Come on, tell me, do you want to send someone there?" Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xuanyuan Wushang evoked a charming smile, laughing so that the demons danced wildly, and asked softly, the words were extremely gentle, but let this person All the courtiers shivered. The more the emperor smiled, the more terrifying his anger would be!
You look at me, I look at you, no one dares to be a pioneer, the first to speak, isn't that courting death?

"Why, on weekdays, all of you are eloquent and eloquent, but at the critical moment, you all become dumb?" Xuanyuan Wushang sarcastically said, "Prime Minister, you are an old minister with a lot of experience, tell me .” He pointed with his bare hand and called the names directly.

The prime minister's hair on his temples was slightly white, and he staggered out of the line of ministers. He received many sympathetic looks from his peers. After thinking for a while, he finally expressed his true thoughts: "Your Majesty, Lan Yu has arrived at the capital of Dongyao. Peace talks are imperative."

After finishing speaking, he timidly raised his head and looked at Xuanyuan Wushang's face. Fortunately, he was closing his eyes and couldn't see any anger, so the prime minister let go of his courage and continued: "The two countries have reached an agreement. If we don't Ken agrees, I'm afraid there will be another big war, without Lan Yu's help, it will be really difficult to resist Dongyao's iron cavalry, let's say that King Qing, this time outside Silver Sun City, lost nearly 20 troops of our country, With such a record, the world was shocked, and his concubine..."

"I asked you to count the abilities of Bai Qingluo and Mo Xiaoran?" Xuanyuan Wushang didn't wait for him to finish, and suddenly opened his eyes. In the long and narrow eyes, there were only bursts of frost.

The prime minister's heart trembled slightly, "The old minister is talking too much."

"Is there anyone else who, like the Prime Minister, supports the lonely sending of people to participate in the Three Kingdoms peace talks?" Xuanyuan Wushang asked slowly, with that enchanting smile on his face, it was impossible to guess his true thoughts.

Some courtiers pondered for a long time and discussed for a while, and finally someone reconsidered the prime minister's opinion.

The remaining four or five were the main battle, but they did not support starting the war at this time. Everyone looked up at Xuanyuan Wushang, not knowing what his plan was, whether it was war or peace, he had to give a word.

More than 20 courtiers, more than half of them support the peace talks among the three countries.

Xuanyuan Wushang clenched his five fingers, and suddenly grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair under him, his handsome face twisted into one piece.

Yes, he is not a fool, he is aware of the current situation, peace talks are the best choice!But he was unwilling. In order to escape for his life, he ceded the land to pay compensation and gave five cities to Bai Qingluo. Now, why should he passively participate in the Three Kingdoms peace talks?Wouldn't it be known to the world that Xuanyuan Wushang was inferior to Bai Qingluo?

There is a voice in my heart, constantly clamoring, fight!Fight to the end!But his rationality kept saying that he should agree to peace talks. Two voices kept yelling and arguing in his mind. .

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the old Prime Minister called out uneasily.

"Rong Gu think about it." Xuanyuan Wushang frowned, and waved his hand a little irritably, causing the courtiers to disperse.

He wants to be alone for a while, whether it is peace talks or continue to fight!This is related to Xuanyuan's future.

For a whole day, Xuanyuan Wushang locked himself in the imperial study room, never showed his face, even had no use for lunch, until midnight, in the palace, there were insects chirping, coiled in the sky, countless palace lanterns flickered in unison, The closed door of the Imperial Study Room opened with a creak, and stayed outside. The courtiers who were worried about Xuanyuan's injury turned their heads and stood in the open space, looking at their young emperor.

Wrapped in a bright yellow dragon robe, he has a tall and slender figure. His long loose hair falls casually on his back and chest. He is handsome and unrestrained. Standing on the steps, he said faintly: "Order, I will go to Dongyao in person, and see the Three Kingdoms peace talks!"
