Wu Xiao looked at the busy people and said, "If we help him, aren't we afraid that he will turn around and attack us?"
Xia Wanniang looked at him: "What else can we do? Should we turn around and beat him?"
Wu Xiao felt a headache: "Neither the Kingdom of Jin nor the Prime Minister is easy to get along with. It will not be a good thing for us if one of them becomes stronger."
Xia Wanniang sent the news to Xiao Chiye, Wu Hanyu, Qingfeng and others to see their opinions.
"I'm just afraid that they'll play too long and it won't do us any good."
Wu Xiao also felt a headache: "The war between these two countries is really not a good thing for us. If I have to choose a side, I hope it will be the Prime Minister."
Xia Wanniang turned to look at him: "Why?"
Wu Xiao: "Zhong Li is ambitious, but we cannot deny that he is a smart man. The people of Jin are too barbaric. If we make friends with them, they might bite us back."
Xia Wanniang did not make a decision in a hurry, but waited for other people's responses.
The condition given by Tsukasa Li was to help him. As long as he was alive, the two countries would not go to war. As for what would happen after his death, that was another matter.
He also set out the conditions for trade between the two countries, even reducing tariffs to the lowest level.
In addition, the purchased food and fodder will be purchased at three times the market price. Such conditions really seem like they are meant to be friendly.
Wu Hanyu, Qingfeng and Xiao Chiye all gave the same opinion as Wu Xiao. If they wanted to help, they should choose the Prime Minister.
The Jin Kingdom had previously conquered Niwa's country, killed Niwa's brother and other men in the royal family, and left only the women as slaves.
Niva took advantage of the chaos to escape and her whereabouts are currently unknown.
Xia Wanniang looked at the letter in her hand and shook her head helplessly: "You are still too naive."
Xiao Chiye came to see her in person, and she was a little surprised to see him: "Husband, why are you here?"
"Zhong Li is leading the expedition personally, and he wants to see us." Xiao Chiye said and looked at Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Don't look at me like that. I don't care about anything now. Since Hanyu has been handed over to you to deal with, then you can make any decision on this matter."
Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye: "Where did you meet?"
Xiao Chiye: “Five miles outside the pass.”
Xia Wanniang nodded, said something to Xiao Zilin, and rushed to the outside of the pass with Xiao Chiye.
Tsukasa Li stood not far away with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery in the distance. A little further away, a team of soldiers in armor exuded a murderous aura.
Xiao Chiye and Xia Wanniang did not bring anyone else with them; they came alone to the appointment.
Zhong Li heard the voice and turned to look at the two people who got off the horse: "Duke Zhenguo, Princess Zhenguo, long time no see."
Xiao Chiye stood opposite him: "The Prime Minister has personally invited me, so I have no choice but to come."
Xia Wanniang looked at Zhong Li, who seemed to be much more haggard than before: "Prince Xiangguo has been troubled by many things recently, so he probably didn't get enough rest."
Zhong Li smiled and said, "I forgot that the Princess Zhenguo is a great doctor. I just wonder if she can prescribe some prescriptions to calm my nerves for me."
"I'm afraid you won't dare to drink the prescription I prescribed. Your Majesty, please ask the imperial physician to prescribe it for you. It will be much better." Xia Wanniang replied indifferently.
Tsukuri pointed to a tent in the distance and said, "Why don't we go inside and sit down and talk slowly."
Xiao Chiye: "Please, Lord."
Tsukuri walked into the tent first. There was a round table inside with refreshments prepared on it. "Please come in, both of you."
After Xia Wanniang and Xiao Chiye sat down, they picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Seeing the two of them like this, Zhong Li was a little stunned: "You are not afraid that I will poison you."
Xiao Chiye put down his teacup: "The king is not that stupid. If he were so stupid, it would be really not worth it to let himself be attacked from all sides."
Tsukasa picked up the cup and took a sip: "It's more pleasant to deal with smart people."
Xia Wanniang put down her teacup and said, "Lord, are you here to discuss the issue of grain and grass?"
Zhong Li nodded and said, "Among the countries surrounding Xiangguo, the only one that can supply food and grass to my army is your Great Xia Kingdom. You can set any conditions you want. As long as they are within my acceptable range, I will agree to them."
Xiao Chiye: "I have a question for you, Lord. What will happen after you conquer the Jin Kingdom? Who will be your next target?"
