He wanted to say that, in fact, the original purpose was to control military power, trade, and currency control, and he didn't want her to do anything.

But looking at Her Royal Highness, who was talking to herself and satisfied with her efforts, he really couldn't say such hurtful words.

After Bai Su coughed lightly, he said, "Well, it's getting late, let me get up."

Queen Bactria was taken aback for a moment, and then she realized that her legs were still wrapped around Bai Su's body, and she hurriedly moved away.

Hearing the sound of "Bo", her face turned red immediately, she lowered her head, not daring to look into Bai Su's eyes.

At this time, several maids came in.

They took clothes, water basins and other things, and after seeing a blonde beauty lying on Bai Su's bed, after the initial surprise, their faces quickly returned to calm.

One of the maids came to Bai Su, and while handing over clean clothes, she said, "My lord, the chariot king sent an envoy here, it seems that he wants to negotiate terms with you."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment: "Big car king?"

The maid said in a low voice: "This man is the monarch of the Maurya Dynasty. It is said that this man was promoted to the throne at the age of nine, and the power has always been controlled by the Brahmin Xiangguo, and he is jokingly called the Son of Heaven in the Hand."

Bai Su touched it, with a hint of surprise on his face: "The power has always been controlled by powerful ministers, and now this Xiangguo has been defeated and captured on the battlefield. Has she, the emperor in her hand, finally regained some power?"

"It's just... Now that the 40 troops of the Maurya Dynasty have been wiped out, I'm a little curious about what she can do now."

"Okay, I'm going to meet this envoy right now. By the way, you can find some clean clothes for His Highness."

The maid bowed slightly: "Yes, my lord."

After Queen Bactria saw Bai Su leaving, she wanted the two maids to help her get up. After all, she was a little weak all night after working hard all night, and she couldn't use her strength.

But suddenly he remembered the two rows of ink marks on his back, and the quilt he put down quickly covered it up again.

After all, a dignified queen was written on the back by an envoy from a foreign country.

It's nothing more than a private relationship between these two people. If others see it, where should she put her face?

She hastily ordered: "You... put your clothes here, I'm a little tired, and I'll change myself after I wake up."

The two maids looked at each other. Although they were a little puzzled, they didn't say much. After bowing their hands and saluting, they backed out.

Seeing this, Queen Bactria breathed a long sigh of relief. She looked around, turned over and got out of bed, and came to a bronze mirror. She parted her golden wavy hair, revealing her smooth back.

There are two small characters neatly written on it.

It has to be said that Bai Su's calligraphy is quite superb, and the handwriting is beautiful, just like art.

Queen Bactria, looking at the two rows of characters, couldn't help repeating in her mouth: "The flower path has never been swept by guests, and the Pengmen is now opened for you."

According to Bai Su, this is a poem from the Central Plains, with a very beautiful meaning, representing the wonderful character of the Central Plains friends who come from afar and enjoy themselves.

It symbolizes a beautiful friendship between two people.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that when Bai Su read a few more sentences yesterday, the expression on his face looked very strange, as if it had some other meaning.

Although I don't know what it means, but there are two small scratches on her skin as delicate as milk, not only meaningless to be an eyesore, but giving people a strange temptation.

Queen Bactria, touched the water with her finger and wiped it off.

Illusion, why do you feel that the word is not blurred at all, as if it cannot be wiped off?

Chapter 410 IX This country, it will be destroyed if it is said to be destroyed

in the big account.

Han Xin, Mao Dun and the others were sitting in front of the desk. When Bai Su walked in, one of them was drinking tea in front of the stove, and the other was sharpening their nails with a dagger.

Seeing Bai Su walking in, the two saluted one after another: "My lord, you are here."

"Don't be too polite."

Bai Su smiled, came to the main seat and sat down, looked around the big tent, but saw that there was one person missing.

He couldn't help asking: "Where is Xiang Yu?"

Mo Dun put down the dagger in her hand, raised her slender eyebrows slightly, and after pondering for a while, she said: "She seems to be very interested in those captured war elephants, and she is thinking about bringing some back to the Central Plains, saying that she will give them to Yu Ji." Make presents."

Hearing this, Bai Su couldn't help shaking his head.

Sure enough, in Xiang Yu's heart, Yu Ji will always come first.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "By the way, I heard that the Maurya Dynasty sent envoys to negotiate. Where are the envoys?"

Mao Dun flicked the manicured nails, looked at his slender hands, curled his lips: "I don't want to sit with that strange guy, so I asked the guards to take him away, and went to rest in another big tent. "

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Did something happen?"

Han Xin on the side put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Bai Su with clear black and white eyes, and said, "When the envoy came just now, it was just in time for lunch, so we wanted him to eat while waiting for the adults to come over." .”

"But when this person is not eating, he doesn't like to use a knife and fork, nor can he use chopsticks, but uses his hands."

"That's all. He also said that he was not used to eating our Daxia's military rations, so he cooked himself and made a mess, so..."

Although she didn't finish her words, various images had already appeared in Bai Su's mind.

Seeing the two men's frowning and disgusted expressions, he couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.

Mo Dun couldn't help asking: "My lord, why do you think they eat that kind of thing?"

Even Han Xin couldn't help poking his head curiously.

After all, whether it's the barbecue and cheese from the prairie, or the steaming, stewing, or cooking from the Central Plains, they all look very good.

But the muddy mass of the Maurya Dynasty looks like it really has no appetite.

Bai Su smiled and said: "There is no way to do this. The diet of a place is often related to the local environment, such as grasslands, Yanzhao, and Liaodong. The climate here is cold, the winter is long, and vegetables are scarce."

"So, locals often like to pickle vegetables, or boil beans into sauce for long-term preservation."

"The Maurya Dynasty is similar. Their place is too hot, and the meat will quickly deteriorate and cannot be stored for a long time. They are reluctant to discard these things, so they start to throw a lot of spices into them to cover up the strange smell."

"Then when it is boiled, it will naturally become a mushy ball."

"It is also because of this reason that their local nobles regard vegetarianism as a symbol of dignity, and meat is only something that inferior people eat."

Mao Dun was stunned for a moment, and stared at Bai Su dumbfounded.

Even Han Xin, who was on the side, had black and white pupils full of surprise.

She never expected that Bai Su could pass through a table of small meals, and see the astronomy, geography, customs and customs of a country, and even the differences between noble and common people.

She couldn't help sighing with the knowledge of Fu Wuche.

It's no wonder that many officials in the DPRK address themselves as adults, a collection of talents from a hundred schools of thought, and seeing him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved.

Bai Su told the guard at the door: "Go, the envoy of Xuan Kongque Dynasty, come and meet me."

"Yes."

The guard clasped his fists and retreated.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps.

I saw a messenger in a monk's robe, a yellow hat wrapped around his head, and a strange painted pattern on his forehead, walking in.

He glanced around in the big tent, and finally put his palms together on Bai Su's body, bowed and saluted, "The foreign envoy has seen Mr. Bai."

Bai Su asked with great interest: "Oh, you know me?"

The envoy smiled bitterly and said: "Your Excellency led a mighty army and defeated our 40 coalition army in front of the Hindu Kush Mountain. His name has already spread throughout the entire Maurya Dynasty, and his power has shaken the world. How could I not know it. "

Bai Su said with a smile: "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. I don't know what the messenger suddenly came to. Could it be that they want to intercept my mission again?"

"No, no, my lord misunderstood."

The envoy nodded hurriedly, and said with a wry smile: "I came this time to apologize for what happened before, and I came here to apologize with the sincerity of the big chariot king. For this reason, we have prepared ten carts of jewels. , fifty carts of spices as sincerity, I hope the two countries can shake hands and make peace."

A hint of surprise appeared on Mao Dun's pretty face: "Fifty carts of spices are really selling trains, but since you are apologetic, why did you nod?"

Bai Su explained: "You don't know something, nodding in their place means denying, shaking your head is approving."

The envoy hurriedly said: "That's right, just like what your lord said, I didn't expect you to know so much about our Maurya Dynasty in the far east. You are really knowledgeable."

Mao Dun's slender eyebrows raised slightly, and he couldn't help curling his lips: "What a strange culture."

Bai Su turned his gaze back to the envoy, and after a long silence, he said, "Do you think these things can bring back my lost face in Daxia? You killed my envoy first and humiliated my envoy. You have come from thousands of miles away, how can you simply apologize and retreat?"

The envoy quickly said: "My lord, our Maurya Dynasty has already realized its mistake. This time, we specially came here with a letter written by our king of chariots, requesting a truce. As long as your lord agrees, then I, the Maurya Dynasty, will be willing to bow down and bow down in the future and compensate you." Loss, pay tribute every year."

"If your lord insists on going south, then I, the Maurya Dynasty, have no choice but to gather all the troops and defend desperately."

"My Peacock Dynasty has thousands of city-states, and my lord wants to capture them one by one. I don't know how long it will take. The money spent by the army every day is an astronomical figure. It will not be good for you if you spend it for such a long time. .”

"The conflict between our two countries was originally a misunderstanding, and there is no need to fight to the end."

"This time I came here with sincerity on purpose, I don't know what your lord would like?"

For a while, the big tent suddenly became quiet.

Even Mao Dun and Han Xin were stunned. They never thought that the envoys sent by the Maurya Dynasty were actually here to ask for peace.

I hope to pay tribute as a minister to make Daxia retreat.

Immediately, all eyes turned to Bai Su, waiting for his next answer.

If Bai Su agrees to this request, then Daxia will have an extra large vassal state.

If he refuses, a huge war of annihilation will break out between the two countries, the mountains and rivers will be broken all the way, and the five mountains will be shaken.

The fate of these countless people will be decided by Bai Su's next sentence, which can be said to be life and death.

Bai Su tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and every time he landed, his heart beat faster, and the atmosphere couldn't help becoming tense.

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly said: "The offer is good, but unfortunately, I refuse."

"Why...why?"

The smile of the Maurya envoy suddenly froze on his face, and he asked incredulously.

Bai Su took a deep breath, slapped the table with his big hand, and said coldly: "When you intercepted and killed my mission, did you ever care about my Daxia's face? How can you be worthy of those loyal men who died at your hands."

"When you humiliated my Great Xia envoy and declared war on us, there is no room for turning back."

"You, go back and let your big chariot king eat, drink, and indulge in pleasure. There is not much time left. This Peacock Dynasty will be destroyed if it is said to be destroyed."

The messenger staggered back a few steps, his whole mouth trembling: "How...how could this happen, it's all due to the temporary greed of the little city lord, otherwise how could it have evolved into the current situation, sad, lamentable what!!!"

Han Xin looked at the pale and mumbling envoy of the Maurya Dynasty from time to time, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

This guy obviously didn't know that what his lord said about avenging the envoy was just an excuse.

There was only one reason why their Maurya Dynasty was really targeted from the beginning to the end.

That is, their land is too fertile, and everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.

The Central Plains has lived on farming and mulberry for many years, and regards the land as their lifeblood. In order to compete for a piece of land, the people often fight with large-scale weapons at every turn, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

When it was serious, the people in Guanzhong fought with each other and lost tens of thousands of people. This is no different from a small war.

After Shang Yang's reform, in order to get rewarded fertile land and houses, these people rushed to the battlefield with long swords, often holding a head in their hands and a circle of heads hanging around their waists, staring at the enemy on the battlefield with red eyes. military.

Daxia's army was once called the Tiger and Wolf Division by the six kingdoms of the Central Plains.

It can be said that under the influence of hundreds of years of troubled times from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, everyone from the common people to the kings and dignitaries had a natural fanaticism for the land.

Especially Sister Zheng, just to win the land of Baiyue, a rotten land full of mud and useless.

At the beginning, 50 troops were sent to the south, and they fought twice in a row, and it took many years to take it down.

Now I heard that there is a piece of fertile arable land outside that is ten times or a hundred times more fertile than the land of Baiyue. Its scale is three times that of the Central Plains. It can harvest grain three times a year. It can be called the largest granary in the world.

Whoever gets it will no longer have to worry about food. At the same time, the local area is also rich in spices, cotton and other crops.

Who wouldn't be jealous of such a good piece of land.

Chapter 420 There is nothing to be afraid of anymore

Maurya Dynasty.

Fahrenheit City.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn.

"What... what, Bai Su actually refused, our peace proposal!"

"It's more than just a refusal. Then Bai Su asked me to tell the king that he would let me eat, drink, and indulge in pleasure. This country... if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed!"
