Chapter 468: Time and fate, I am so lucky

He just wanted to give him a bath himself, which was not an extremely difficult task.

Ji Qingwu secretly blamed herself for thinking too much.

Zhao Mingyan raised his hand to pick up the cotton towel, but she snatched it away again.

He asked in surprise: "Awu, what are you doing? Get out quickly, the water is getting cold."

Ji Qingwu pursed his lips and said, "Let me do it."

This time, Ji Qingwu was no longer shy and scrubbed his body vigorously, not missing any part under the water.

Even when she encountered obstacles, she took a deep breath, picked it up and continued scrubbing.

Ji Qingwu didn't even notice that the breathing beside her ears was becoming more and more rapid. She now had only one goal.

That is - the whole body is clean without any dead corners!

Zhao Mingyan finally experienced what a sweet burden is.

Especially when the bath beans were applied on the body, those soft and boneless hands wandered everywhere.

Zhao Mingyan’s frown deepened.

Ji Qingwu was already immersed in completing her task. When she finally finished bathing cleanly, she took a few breaths, threw the towel aside, and looked at the man's body in front of her with satisfaction, as if she was admiring her own work.

She raised her rosy face and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Mingyan praised generously, saying, "Excellent."

Ji Qingwu shook his head with a hint of satisfaction.

Zhao Mingyan added: "But there is still room for improvement."

Ji Qingwu asked: "What room for improvement?"

Zhao Mingyan moved his arms slightly, and held her hips with his palms under the water, and she pressed against his well-defined waist and abdomen.

"Why don't we discuss it together?"

Not just once, but several times.

After Yuwen Tianqing was captured, he was imprisoned with Gao Zhaoyue.

They waited for a long time, until midnight, when finally the Emperor of Beili showed up.

Ji Qingwu was drowsy, but Zhao Mingyan kissed her on the face and said he was going to meet Xijin's people.

She immediately became excited and insisted on going with him.

Lifting open the door of the spacious military tent for meetings, Ji Qingwu discovered that there were more than a dozen people in the tent.

The Beili army that was sent out earlier has returned in batches. The Hu brothers have returned first, while Feng Xiang and Wei Ting have not returned yet.

The Hu brothers bowed to Ji Qingwu when they saw her, and she smiled faintly in response.

When Gao Zhaoyue saw Ji Qingwu following behind the Emperor of Beili, he felt that she was very different from when he saw her yesterday, although she still had the same rosy and charming face, so tender that water could be squeezed out of it.

But her eyes were moist and sticky, and anyone who saw them would know that the Emperor of Beili was her sweetheart and the person she trusted the most.

A woman is addicted and cannot be freed.

Gao Zhaoyue snorted coldly and turned his gaze back to the emperor sitting at the top, saying: "Tian Qing only brought a hundred people here, really to seek peace. We hope that the two countries can stop the war."

"Stop the war?"

Zhao Mingyan said calmly: "Okay."

Yuwen Tianqing asked suspiciously: "Are you willing to agree? Is it that simple?"

Zhao Mingyan raised his hand, and Li Yuzong stepped forward and took out a document, saying loudly: "Xijin ceded 300 miles of grassland west of Yingchou Gorge, and Beili established a trading market with 300 Xuanjia guards stationed there."

Yuwen Tianqing said: "I knew you wouldn't let Xi Jin go so easily."

But this treaty was not unacceptable. While he was thinking about it, Li Yuzong took a breath and spoke again in a sharp voice.

"Send Xijin's fourth prince Yuwen Tianqing as a hostage; Beili's garrison troops can freely pass through the Yumen trade route; Xijin is not allowed to train adult stallions within ten years; those who mobilize more than a thousand troops must report it thirty days in advance..."

There were many more to follow, and the more Yu Wen Tianqing listened, the gloomier his expression became.

Ji Qingwu, who was sitting on the side and listening, had a twinkle in his eyes.

If Xi Jin is suppressed by the army, he will not cause any more trouble. Moreover, if Yuwen Tianqing is chosen as a hostage, Xi Jin will have no one who is qualified to ascend the throne, and civil strife will surely break out.

If Xi Jin agrees, he will not have time to compete with Beili for at least ten years.

As soon as Li Yuzong finished speaking, Yuwen Tianqing's face turned pale and he said, "These terms are too much! It would be better to kill me now than to let me go to Beili as a hostage."

Gao Zhaoyue was still calm. She said loudly, "Do you think we have no other means? My clan's magic is more than just taming beasts and using poison!"

"It's just that I'm tired of fighting on the battlefield. Otherwise, we might not lose to Beili in a last-ditch battle."

The Tianyue clan does have many secret techniques that are unknown to the world, and Gao Zhaoyue did not lie.

Emperor Wu Su sat calmly behind a long desk. He ordered Li Yuzong to draw up twelve items of payment, and he did not expect them to agree to all of them.

The first three of them are the most important.

When two countries negotiate, there must be give and take.

Zhao Mingyan picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

"No hurry, you two should think about it carefully."

But at this moment, Ji Qingwu suddenly brought out a pot of flowers and placed it on the table in front of her. She fiddled with its slender leaves with her fingers.

"Xi Jin, do you want to destroy the country?"

Everyone in the tent heard her clear and melodious voice and turned to look at her.

Gao Zhaoyue said sternly: "You are too arrogant in front of me, little girl!"

Zhao Mingyan glanced at her coldly and said, "Why not add another one? You go to guard Yuwen Shuo's body."

Gao Zhaoyue felt a chill in her heart when she saw his cold eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Beili is dreaming if they want to completely destroy Xijin!"

Ji Qingwu curled his lips and said easily, "It's not difficult, it just takes a hundred years to wait."

She pointed at the things in front of her and introduced them, "This herb is also called Yin Yang Duan Ji Grass. It can be eaten or burned into ashes for later use. If you sprinkle this herb on the river in Xijin, what do you think will be the effect?"

Gao Zhaoyue and Yuwen Tianqing looked at her in horror.

The Beili general in the tent gasped, and the Hu brothers were even more stunned.

Ji Qingwu said slowly: "No one in the whole country of Xijin has any offspring. After a hundred years, there will be no one to take over. The country will no longer be a country and will be completely destroyed."

The negotiation ended in eerie silence.

It also achieved unexpected results.

Gao Zhaoyue agreed to these terms, and Yuwen Tianqing also agreed to go to Beili as a hostage. They had no other choice.

Seeing that the matter was resolved smoothly, Ji Qingwu winked at the emperor sitting at the top, and then left with the pot of herbs.

Chi Rui watched Ji Qingwu walk away with admiration.

Yuwen Tianqing clenched his fists as he thought about his future life as a hostage in Beili. Although Gao Zhaoyue was unwilling, she had to accept it and patted her son on the back.

Zhao Mingyan glanced at the document with seals and stamps, stood up, and spoke lightly.

"It's fate and time. I'm really lucky."

Li Yuzong seldom saw the emperor so smug, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The Beili general in the tent also laughed heartily.

The laughter was deafening, and the loudest laughter came from the Hu brothers.

If they knew that being a soldier was so interesting and that there would be no bullying or suffocation, they would have come long ago.
