Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

"Tell me, what exactly is the Chu Kingdom up to? And what does Liu Feng, this remnant of the Shan King, want?"

After Liu Feng and Tang Ningzhi were taken away, Emperor Wu asked Xiao Mochi.

Compared to Emperor Wu's constant "Mr. Liu" just now, Liu Feng had now become a "remnant of the previous dynasty."

Emperor Wu truly admired Liu Feng in his heart.

However, anything that threatened Emperor Wu's rule and the foundation of the Wu Kingdom was only considered in terms of "how to die" and "when to die" in the eyes of the Wu Kingdom.

But Emperor Wu certainly wouldn't act against Liu Feng now.

As for the Chu Kingdom's desire to form a marriage alliance with the Wu Kingdom, Emperor Wu never held a trusting attitude.

Emperor Wu was not a fool.

The Chu Kingdom wanted to befriend the Wu Kingdom, so they would marry their eldest princess over?

How could such a good thing exist?

Putting aside everything else, if the Chu Kingdom did this, Emperor Wu couldn't imagine what the public opinion within the Chu Kingdom would be like.

Wouldn't there be many officials in the Chu Kingdom who would try to remonstrate to the death, smashing their heads against pillars?

Moreover, this guy Liu Feng was a remnant of the Shan King.

After the Shan King failed to seize the throne, Liu Feng had disappeared.

Now that he appeared at this time, it was impossible for him to be unrelated to the Shan King.

Not to mention that the remnants of the Shan King had been constantly causing trouble in the imperial capital during this period, and Liu Feng, as the Shan King's most staunch supporter, had suddenly appeared!

This was enough to explain the problem.

The more Emperor Wu thought about it, the more he wanted to kill Liu Feng.

In recent years, what had made Emperor Wu most uneasy was actually Liu Feng.

But well.

Now, Liu Feng seemed to be colluding with the Chu Kingdom, which made it difficult for Emperor Wu to act.

The strength of the Chu Kingdom was not weak, and the Chu Kingdom's ruler seemed to value Liu Feng very much.

If something happened to Liu Feng, the Chu Kingdom would come to find trouble with the Wu Kingdom.

Although the Wu Kingdom was not afraid of war, the problem was, what if the Chu Kingdom colluded with the Northern Wilderness?

The Wu Kingdom bordered the Southern Border Demon Kingdom on one side, and relied on the Northern Wilderness and the Chu Kingdom on the other, this geographical location was very unfavorable.

Not to mention that Liu Feng now seemed so fearless.

Therefore, Emperor Wu felt that this matter was not simple, and Liu Feng could not be touched for the time being.

Emperor Wu felt a headache coming on.

Xiao Mochi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the Chu Kingdom and Liu Feng want to do. Before, the remnants of the Shan King caused such a big commotion, making the entire Wu capital restless. According to the recent investigation by the Jingzhao Prefecture, the person who assassinated Xu Pangda was very likely a remnant of the Shan King."

"Now, the Shan King's biggest remnant is bringing the Chu Kingdom's princess to propose marriage."

"If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to believe it."

Emperor Wu rubbed his temples: "Forget it, let's see what they want to do first. Let the Brocade-Clad Guard keep an eye on them. In any case, Xu Ming must not become the Chu Kingdom's consort."

"If the Chu Kingdom really wants to marry their princess over, then I will grant their wish. I want to see what kind of storm the Chu Kingdom can stir up by marrying their princess over."

"But well, it's impossible for this Chu Kingdom princess to be the main wife, but it's not impossible for her to be a concubine."

"."

Xiao Mochi did not react to Emperor Wu's words.

How could such a thing as letting the Chu Kingdom's eldest princess be a concubine be possible?

Xiao Mochi also knew that this was just His Majesty indulging in wishful thinking.

However.

If it really came to that point.

Xiao Mochi had an idea in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it," Xiao Mochi said, paying attention to Emperor Wu's expression.

Emperor Wu looked at Xiao Mochi and smiled: "Mo Chi, you can say whatever you want directly, do you still need to preface it with me?"

Xiao Mochi stood up straight: "Since Your Majesty has said so, then I will be frank. If the Chu Kingdom really wants to form a marriage alliance with the Wu Kingdom, it is not impossible. The current situation in the world is changing rapidly, and our Wu Kingdom's geographical location is too bad, too bad..."

Listening to Xiao Mochi's words, Emperor Wu thought seriously for a moment, and then shook his head: "I understand what you mean, it's not that I don't understand. If I had a son, or if Yan Han was a daughter."

"But the problem is, among the young talents of the Wu Kingdom, who else besides Xu Ming is worthy of the Chu Kingdom's eldest princess?"

Xiao Mochi smiled slightly: "It's still Xu Ming."

"Hmm?" Emperor Wu looked at Xiao Mochi, "Explain in detail."

Xiao Mochi nodded: "Xu Ming is of extraordinary significance to our Wu Kingdom. Xu Ming is the leader of our Wu Kingdom's literary world, and his martial arts are second on the Qingyun List. Not to mention that Xu Ming helped our Wu Kingdom form an alliance with the North Sea, Xu Ming must not be placed in other dynasties."

"Otherwise, not to mention whether Xu Ming will become an aid to the Chu Kingdom, the people of our Wu Kingdom will not be able to accept it."

"And that princess of the Chu Kingdom cannot become the main wife, otherwise, where will the Prince of Qin be placed?"

"If she becomes a concubine, I'm afraid the Chu Kingdom will clamor for war."

"But Your Majesty, what if the position of this princess of the Chu Kingdom is equal to that of the Prince of Qin?"

After a while, Emperor Wu seemed to understand something, and his eyes suddenly lit up:

"You mean? Equal wives?"

The highest-level embassy of the Wu Kingdom is a large mansion.

This mansion is a four-courtyard residence, when the royal family or prime ministers of other dynasties come, they live here.

"Mr. Liu, do you think Emperor Wu will agree?" Tang Ningzhi said with a smile.

Liu Feng smiled and shook his head: "Emperor Wu is a man with too many thoughts. Even if the benefits are delivered to his door, he may not agree. He will only think about this and that. Moreover, Emperor Wu also wants to betroth his daughter to Xu Ming."

"Even if Emperor Wu agrees, it will not be good for his daughter's reputation, and the people of the Wu Kingdom will not agree."

"So this matter is basically impossible."

Tang Ningzhi nodded. In fact, Tang Ningzhi also knew this answer.

Tang Ningzhi came here, and the fundamental purpose was not to really marry into the Wu Kingdom.

If she really wanted to marry into the Wu Kingdom, she would have run away long ago.

"But will that Emperor Wu discover our true purpose?" Tang Ningzhi continued to ask.

Liu Feng still shook his head: "Who knows? There are too many capable people in the Wu Kingdom now, it's really hard to say. However, it is not so easy for the Wu Kingdom to detect our true purpose."

"Then what should we do now? Should we start the plan first?" Tang Ningzhi asked again.

"No need."

Liu Feng stroked his beard.

"Haste makes waste, just wait. During this period, Her Highness the Princess can experience the local customs in Wudu. In addition..."

Liu Feng smiled and looked at Tang Ningzhi: "Her Highness the Princess can also visit the Xu residence more often, I believe the Xu residence will be very welcoming."
