In the past, Bai Su would draw a line in his heart, no matter how rough she was in front of Bai Su, as long as she gave in and begged for mercy, Bai Su would not do anything to her.

But now that she was drunk, her begging for mercy seemed useless.

She suddenly thought that there were still a lot of drinks on the table, and she was thinking of saying good things. After getting Bai Su drunk, she would be safe.

Thinking of this, Liu Ji struggled quickly, wanting to go to the table in front to pick up drinks.

However, this short distance of ten centimeters is like a moat.

Before Liu Ji had time to get up from the seat, Bai Su grabbed that snow-white little foot and pulled her back.

She glanced at Hu Tan who was lying beside him, who was sleeping deeply, bit her red lips, and said weakly: "If that's really the case, can I change the room, His Highness Hu Tan is still beside me."

"You are so invited, and I can easily refuse."

As Bai Su said, he hugged her directly, picked her up and walked towards the next room, her hair fell lightly, and the hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

......

......

The whole night, Hu Tan slept very uncomfortable.

In her sleep, she seemed to vaguely hear soft voices and the suppressed crying of a woman.

Hu Yan's beautiful brows could not help but frown, apparently he did not sleep well.

However, due to drinking too much, he was not woken up and slept until the next day.

The next day, the light of the morning sun fell on Hu Tan's delicate face, feeling the light, she frowned and woke up.

Hu Yan opened his eyes, got up and stretched, only to realize that he had slept for a long time.

Looking at the empty room and the scattered wine jars, her slender black eyebrows could not help but frown. Has Bai Su already gone to court?

"Don't tell me about this stinky thing."

While mumbling, Hu Tan walked out of the box, and suddenly she saw the next room, the door was half open, and there seemed to be someone.

She put her hand on the door and was about to push it in when she was suddenly stopped by a small official.

"Your Highness, this is the list of 500 million blue and white porcelain auctions last night. Daliang Zao asked me to give this to you."

The little official took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Hu Yan looked at the names on the list, and a smile appeared on his fair and pretty face: "Hee hee, this bad guy has a bit of conscience, I know that His Highness has the highest status in his heart."

After all, giving such a big surprise to my mother will definitely increase her status in my mother's heart.

She gently opened the door with her hand, walked outside, and carefully asked the little official about the auction process last night.

Fortunately, she didn't go inside, otherwise, she must have thought of killing Bai Su.

Chapter 170 The third chapter

The light of the morning sun spilled in through the window.

Bai Su woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and saw the beautiful woman lying beside him, he was stunned for a moment.

I thought what happened last night was a dream, but I didn't expect it to be true.

On Liu Jijue's beautiful face, there were still dry tears, and a strand of black hair stuck to the side of his face. He looked very pitiful, obviously suffering from a whole night of torture.

Seeing her like this, Bai Su couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart, reached out and gently stroked her cheek, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Liu Ji in his sleep seemed to feel something, his slender eyebrows frowned, and he woke up.

With her big peach blossom eyes, the moment she saw Bai Su, she was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately became aggrieved.

Seeing her strange appearance, Bai Su couldn't help being stunned: "You...what's wrong with you."

Liu Ji bit his red lips lightly, and said with grief and indignation: "Damn Xiao He, how dare you lie to me, didn't you just say yes..."

There was a burst of remorse in her heart, why did she trust Xiao He's words? If she had known the pain earlier, how would she have dared to be so rude in front of Bai Su.

"hiss……"

Feeling the severe pain, Liu Ji's slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

After Bai Su heard her words, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

No wonder Liu Ji is always so courageous, always acting provocative in front of him.

Bai Su warmed up with her for a while, and immediately said: "You don't have to go to court today, you should have a good rest, and I will let someone handle the matter of the Shaofu."

"Um……"

Liu Ji nodded meekly. She was still a little tired after being tortured all night last night.

After greeting lazily, he curled up in the quilt, covered his head, curled up in it like a salted fish.

Bai Su shook his head, and after washing up, he returned to the Bai Mansion.

"Master, you are back."

Da Qiao was wearing a light yellow dress and was playing chess with her younger sister. When she saw Bai Su's return, her exquisite pretty face suddenly showed a look of joy: "Where did the master go, why did you come back today?"

Bai Su rubbed her hair and said, "I drank too much at the moment, and accidentally fell asleep, where's Ji Liang?"

Da Qiao raised her black hair, showed a delicate face, and replied: "Miss Ji Liang, I just went to see off the guests, and I think I will be back in a while."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment: "Did you just come to the mansion?"

Xiao Qiao on the side leaned over her head, raised her hand and said, "It's a girl dressed in foreign costumes, she called herself Xiao Li, and said she had something important to ask to see the master, but she waited for a long time, and she didn't wait until the master came back, so she left .”

"Little Li, this name seems familiar..."

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and then slapped his hand. By the way, isn't this the name of the princess of the Yuezhi Kingdom?

Has Yuezhi's mission come to Xianyang yet?

Da Qiao blinked her eyes and asked, "Master, do you want to go after her? I think that young lady is extraordinary, and her status is extraordinary. Maybe there is something important to discuss with the master."

Bai Su stroked his chin and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can roughly guess her purpose. It's not the time to see her yet. Wait... for a while. If she comes to visit again in the future, what do you say?" It's fine if I'm not here."

Big Qiao and Little Qiao looked at each other suspiciously.

Although they didn't know why the master did this, as qualified maids, they never questioned the master's orders, so they nodded obediently.

When Bai Su walked into the study, he saw two pairs of wine cups on the desk, which were obviously used by Ji Liang when he received guests just now.

He poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, felt the cool drink spread down his throat, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Master, you are back."

At this time, a gentle and soft voice came from behind.

Bai Su looked back, only to see a beautiful woman in a blue skirt, with a natural beauty, standing at the door, looking straight at him with a pair of eyes like water.

A smile appeared on his face: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"As long as the son is fine."

Ji Liang smiled, then seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "By the way, my lord just had a distinguished guest from the Western Regions, who said he wanted to see you on something important, and brought a bunch of expensive gifts.

"My lord, you're not here. I didn't accept it and let her take it back. It won't delay you, lord."

Bai Su put down the wine cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, she came here this time to let me persuade His Majesty to open up the grain trade with the Yuezhi Kingdom, and help them survive the crisis... As everyone knows, I planned all of this Yes, it's better not to see her now."

"When she is driven to a dead end, the bottom line of negotiation in her heart keeps dropping, and she is willing to sacrifice national sovereignty, that is when I will meet her."

Ji Liang thought about it for a while, when he talked with Xiao Li just now, when he mentioned Bai Su's admiring gaze, and then saw Bai Su's scheming appearance in front of him, he couldn't help but feel pity for Xiao Li in his heart.

She said with a weird look: "My lord is cruel enough, you can bear to plot against such a sincere girl."

A look of helplessness appeared on Bai Su's face: "There is no way, there are only interests between the two countries and no friends. If she is just an ordinary girl, I will make friends with her. Even if she is regarded as a confidant, it is not impossible to give expensive gifts. .”

"But since she went to Xianyang as an envoy from the Yuezhi Kingdom, I can only treat her as a diplomat."

Looking at Bai Su's complex expression, Ji Liang couldn't help feeling a little distressed: "Can you be ruthless, my lord?"

After pondering for a while, Bai Su sighed softly: "You must come down ruthlessly. The strategic position of the Yuezhi Kingdom is really too important. They are located at the entrance of the Hexi Corridor, connecting the three directions of the Western Regions, Grasslands, and the Central Plains." .”

"If we let it go, the Yuezhi Kingdom will act as a middleman, scrambling for goods. We have worked so hard to burn porcelain and weave silk, but as a result, we can only get some petty profits in the trade with the countries of the Western Regions. .”

"The big heads have been taken away by them. If things go on like this, once the Central Plains loses their suppression, the Yuezhi Kingdom will soon rely on its strong financial resources to unify the entire Western Regions and grow into a frontier threat no less than the Xiongnu. "

"If the Yuezhi Kingdom join forces with the Xiongnu in Mobei, it will be even more dangerous. The Beiting Protectorate will face two lines of attack, and the border will be unstable."

"Once the Beiting Dufu is lost and the Western Regions are connected to the grasslands, a sickle-like alliance will be formed to block the entire Central Plains to the south of the Great Wall. They can continue to accumulate strength through trade with other countries."

"But because our trade routes have been cut off, all the big gains from trade have been taken away by them as middlemen. We can only return to the previous situation of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business."

"When the time comes, the national treasury will be empty. In order to build roads and canals, the people's corvee will only increase. This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people everywhere, and there will be more and more internal hidden dangers."

"Therefore, whether it is to prevent the Yuezhi Kingdom from growing, or for the future of the Central Plains, we must find a way to control the Hexi Corridor, this trade route, and to penetrate the Western Regions, the Yuezhi Kingdom must be the nail at the door. unplug."

"As the saying goes, a man is innocent and a woman is guilty. They have done nothing wrong, but in this strategic location, facing the benefits of great powers, their fate has been doomed from the very beginning."

There was also a hint of helplessness on Ji Liangxiuya's pretty face.

She sighed: "Is it a battleground for military strategists!"

Once upon a time, South Korea and Wei Guo were also in this situation. In the place of the Four Wars, there will only be two results in the future.

One is that in the wars of the surrounding countries, it will continue to weaken until the day it is annexed by the city, and all kinds of open and secret struggles will not subside.

Otherwise, it will quickly rise in the shortest time, annex the surrounding countries in one fell swoop, and become a powerful country. inevitable.

Apparently, Yuezhi Kingdom had no other possibility in the face of the colossus of Daxia.

From the very beginning, Bai Su left them with only one option of being annexed.

Now that the policy has been set, no matter how much this Princess Yueshi pleads, there will probably not be any good results.

Seeing that she seemed to recall the sad past, Bai Su sighed.

He suddenly seemed to think of something, and took out a jade talisman from his arms: "By the way, when I was in the trading house, I met some people from Chu State. They may be your acquaintances. Let me pass this on to you." for you."

Chapter 170 Four

"What is this?"

Ji Liang looked at the jade talisman that Bai Su handed over, and couldn't help being stunned.

After pondering for a moment, Bai Su said, "I met a merchant from Chudi on the way. They brought some cane sugar from Chudi and peddled it in Xianyang. I went up to strike up a conversation. She came from Jiangliang and said It's your acquaintance, let me give this to you."

"Jiangliang?"

Ji Liang's slender black eyebrows raised slightly. Among the people she knew, there was no such person at all.

As for the cane sugar smelting method she got from Bai Su, she just handed it over to Mi Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu, and her general, Lu Zhu.

Since the farewell to Pei County, His Royal Highness Xiong Xin followed Xiang Liang and the others and fled to Jiangdong together.

Wait...Jiang Liang?

Jiangdong Xiangliang! ! !

A smile appeared on Ji Liang's fair and pretty face: "So it's them."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment: "Is he an acquaintance of yours?"

Ji Liang nodded slightly, and said: "Well, I was wanted by Xianyang in the past. When I fled to Chu, she sheltered me for a while, and she has an old relationship with me."

Bai Su pondered for a moment, then said: "I met her once before, and I saw her niece has a terrifying aura and looks like a tiger. You'd better bring some people there, just in case."

Ji Liang smiled happily: "Don't worry, young master, they came to look for me this time, most of them just came to get something, and after I handed it over to them, they will leave soon."

Bai Su nodded: "It's so good."

Ji Liang's watery eyes looked at Bai Su with a smile: "It's up to the young master how he plans to treat her, but Princess Yueshi, she stays in the station and wants to see you all the time."

Bai Su said with some headaches: "Just pretend to be sick for now, stay in the mansion, and thank guests behind closed doors."

Ji Liang said with a smile: "It's not the same thing if it continues like this."

Bai Su said helplessly: "The longer you hold on, the more you will earn. If you are in a hurry to meet now, then the negotiation conditions are nothing more than some tribute gifts, a city and a half land or something. What I want is the entire Yuezhi Kingdom." military power..."

"As for the lifeline of the country, which is related to the country's destiny, they will never hand it over easily until the last moment, so I can only delay it now, and it will be a day if I can delay it."

"When their domestic situation becomes more and more chaotic, internal and external difficulties, and when they are in a desperate situation, it will be a suitable deed for negotiation."

"As for these two days, I'm going to be sick for the time being. I'll stay and hide in the mansion behind closed doors."
