It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 241

The gates of Chang'an City opened, and the Rong negotiating group was about to leave Chang'an and set out on the way back. There were more than 300 people in the group, and everyone came home full of rewards. They carried rouge, silk scarves, spices purchased by Changan, and weapons made by Changan's top blacksmiths.

These things are very popular in the grasslands. Bring them back to the grasslands, and each of them will be as popular as thieves returning from the treasure cave.

Li Letian took the Rong family to the outside of the city, and said goodbye to Huyanli.

"May this journey be smooth sailing, and may the friendship between our two ethnic groups last as the sun and the moon." Li Letian raised the farewell wine.

"The descendants of Changshengtian will remember the friendship bestowed by the empire, and we cherish this friendship more than our machete."

"Eldest Prince, before I leave, I want to ask one thing about how the Cheng Dalei Empire will deal with it?" Jin asked and came over at this moment.

"Cheng Dalei is a citizen of the empire. He violated the laws of the empire and will be dealt with by the laws of the empire." Li Tianle.

"It should be." Jin asked slightly nodded, and then sighed: "Can I ask the eldest prince one thing, after Cheng Dalei's death, please tell him that his body should be properly buried. To this end, the Beiman Ministry is willing to offer our friendship."

With the crime committed by Cheng Dalei, even the dead body will be punished even after a long time. However, the friendship of the Northern Barbarians was also extremely precious to the Empire.

"As far as I know, the northern barbarians should hate Cheng Dalei?"

"As for the enemy, I want him to die, but as a soldier, he deserves respect. If possible, please tell him that everyone in the northern barbarian tribe will do everything possible to kill him, but at the same time, he also owns the entire northern Respect from the barbarians."

"Please rest assured that his body will be properly placed, and we will also cherish the friendship of the Beiman tribe."

The team embarked on the way back, and before parting, Huyanli threw a word to Li Tianle.

"We will wait for Princess Mingyu on the grassland, she will be a symbol of friendship between our two ethnic groups."

Li Letian naturally understood the meaning of this sentence: without Mingyu, there would be no friendship.

After dealing with the rest, Li Letian came to the Chaohua Hall of the Imperial City.

"Go out, go out, I don't eat."

Before entering the hall, she heard Li Wan'er's angry voice, followed by a plate of dishes thrown out, and the delicious food almost fell on Li Letian's boots.

Li Letian walked in and waved his hand to let the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground go down first. Looking at the scene in the hall again, ho, even a character like Li Letian had to be shocked by Li Wan'er's handwriting.

The whole hall could not see the same complete thing, the vases of water-washed green were smashed into pieces, the brocade was torn into strips, and the jasper hairpins fell to the ground and were torn apart. Such extravagance is equivalent to the accumulation of several generations of a wealthy family in Chang'an City.

Li Wan'er sat on the couch with her cheeks puffed out in anger.

Li Letian wanted to find a place to sit down, but found that there was nothing to do, so he bent down and approached Li Wan'er.

"Wan'er, I heard that you went on a hunger strike, how long have you been without food?"

"Go out, you are not welcome here."

"Osmanthus cake in the imperial kitchen." Li Letian gave a thumbs up, admiring his excellent sense of smell: "Wan'er, I told you a long time ago, don't eat sweet, it's easy to gain weight."

"Hmph." Li Wan'er blushed and turned her head to the side: "No matter how you make the dead come alive, I will never marry into the grassland."

"Look at this voice, it's full of anger." Li Letian leaned closer: "Good sister, I'm your eldest brother, I will hurt you. When you get there, you are above all people, and the mother is in the world. After the eldest brother When I see you, I have to bow."

"See me, can you see me in the future?"

"The sky is high and the water is far away, no matter where you go, it's my sister."

"Big brother, you said that the sixth brother is here, will you marry me to the grassland?"

The smile on Li Letian's face suddenly froze: "Old Sixth..."

"Sixth brother won't." Li Wan'er stood up and shook her head: "He will pick up the sword and fight the Rong clan desperately. He died on the battlefield fighting with the Rong clan, and he will never let me marry the Rong clan."

"Sixth..."

"Brother, now you understand why you are conscientious and conscientious in both civil and military, but among the sons and daughters of the father and the king, even if the sixth brother is not up to his standard, no matter how many people scold him, everyone still likes him the most. Brother, you are different from the sixth brother. "

"Elder Liu is not here, even if he is, he can't be the master." Li Tianle thought in his heart: In fact, the elder brother can't be the master.

The footsteps sounded, Emperor Ming appeared behind Li Letian, and Li Letian immediately saluted. Li Wan'er's nose was sour, and she said, "Father, eldest brother, he bullied me."

Emperor Ming waved his hand and told Li Letian to step back, looking at Li Wan'er who was crying, but there was no smile on his face.

"It's not that he bullied you, I let him come."

"Father, you really have the heart to marry me so far away, my daughter can't bear you."

Emperor Ming sighed and waved his hand as if he was about to grab something, but then his mournful expression was put away, and his whole face was as hard as a rock.

"This matter has been written in the treaty of peace talks. After half a month, you will be sent by Yulongwei to Xizhaoguan, and you will be married to the Rong people and the grassland king."

Li Wan'er was stunned, and suddenly gritted her teeth: "You want your daughter to die!"

Looking at her desperate eyes, Emperor Ming sighed lightly and reached out to help her cheek, but Li Wan'er turned her head, and Emperor Ming didn't touch anything.

"Wan'er, born in the emperor's family, many things are beyond your control. You are not only my daughter, but also the princess of the empire."

"Today's empire no longer has the ability to fight the Rong family head-on. It is riddled with holes and needs to be repaired in time. At the expense of you, you can secure five years of stability for the empire, and thousands of people don't have to be displaced. With these five years of recuperation, the empire You can recover your vitality, and you don’t have to be bullied by the Rong clan again.”

"Now, when it's time for you to die as an imperial princess."

The tears in Li Wan'er's eyes didn't know when to stop. She looked at her father and found that he had full hair.

"I can marry, but the father must promise me one thing." Li Wan'er said, "Let Cheng Dalei go."

Emperor Ming paused, his eyes narrowed slightly: "What if I don't agree?"

Li Wan'er said, "My daughter begs for death."

"Is this person really so important to you?" Emperor Ming said, "Cheng Dalei will die, but he will not be able to comfort the hearts of the world."

"This is the matter of the father, and it has nothing to do with me."

Emperor Ming looked at his daughter as if seeing her for the first time.

This is not coquettish, cute, and wanting something from the father and king, this is negotiation. You must learn to negotiate when coquettishness, cuteness, and cheating cannot be obtained. Exchange one thing for another. While you don't want to lose both, sometimes you have to sacrifice one or the other.

After a long while, a smile appeared on Emperor Ming's face, and his eyes were slightly approving.

"Wan'er, you have grown up."

"Born in an emperor's family, I had to grow up."
