Chapter 446 Are you negotiating terms with me?



Zhao Hao continued, "In every major battle between Da Gan and Huang Man, the Kingdom of Yue was watching from the side."

"Don't they know how strong my army is?"

"So, the backers of Yue State must be barbaric without a doubt."

Jiang Wan'er thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "Motive, what is the motive?"

"For so many years, the Kingdom of Yue has been under the protection of my Da Gan."

"It's been peaceful."

"Even if your guess is true, why would they do this?"

"Savages, after all, are not of our race, so their hearts must be different."

"It is absolutely unbelievable!"

"Why does Yue still want to do this? Isn't this just courting death and will eventually be swallowed up?"

Zhao Hao nodded: "Your Majesty, that is true, but many things in this world are unreasonable."

"For example, if the Kingdom of Yue has Huang Man as its backer, it must mean that there is a powerful force in the court of Yue, and it has sided with Huang Man."

"Or maybe someone wants to use the wilderness to achieve some purpose."

"For example, is it that the Crown Prince of Yue has coveted the throne for too long and can't wait any longer?"

“It’s all possible!”

Jiang Wan'er nodded: "If that's the case, it's not impossible."

Jiang Wan'er stood up and said, "Since your analysis is very reasonable, how about this? The more capable you are, the more work you can do. When the work at the clock workshop is done, you can go on a diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Yue again?"

Zhao Hao's eyes widened immediately, and he shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "Your Majesty, let's just forget about this, shall we?"

"I just returned to the Imperial Capital not long ago. Besides, anyone can investigate this matter."

"If you insist on asking me to make a special trip, isn't that a waste of my talent?"

Jiang Wan'er chuckled: "You are really rude, kid!"

Zhao Hao laughed and said, "Just tell the truth!"

Zhao Hao slapped his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, what I am talking about is not how to investigate the background of Yue State, but another more important matter."

Jiang Wan'er suddenly became curious: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Hao said: "Deal with the barbarians!"

Jiang Wan'er said calmly, "After the battle in Mubei City last year, Huangman retreated directly back to Mobei."

"It will take at least 10 to 8 years to ease the situation."

"They've already done a lot to us, they can't pose much of a threat!"

Zhao Hao shook his head and disagreed: "Your Majesty, do you really think so?"

Jiang Wan'er said, "Is it really wrong? In the short term, are there any threats from the wilderness?"

Zhao Hao asked, "What about ten years later, twenty years later, or even thirty, fifty, or a hundred years later?"

"Wait until the barbarism comes back again and again?"

Jiang Wan'er snorted, "You are a bit arrogant, don't you think you can solve the problem of Huang Man once and for all?"

Zhao Hao chuckled and said, "Whether this problem can be solved once and for all, I cannot guarantee it now."

"However, we can give it a try now, as they haven't recovered yet."

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

"If we don't take action now, and wait until we recover our strength, the situation in the wilderness will be almost the same. Can we start the war then?"

"Will this cycle continue endlessly?"

"I'm afraid not!"

Jiang Wan'er's eyes flickered as she said, "But, with my current state, it's simply impossible for me to launch a war against the barbarians."

"Not to mention our current strength, even before, when we were not seriously injured, we would not have been able to launch an expedition to Mobei."

Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled, saying: "Your Majesty, I didn't say I would send a large army on an expedition!"

"Um?"

Jiang Wan'er was stunned.

"You mean, you have a way to solve the problem of barbarism without sending a large army on an expedition?"

"How is this possible?"

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, nothing is impossible."

Jiang Wan'er said quickly: "What's the solution? Tell me quickly."

Zhao Hao shook his head: "No."

Jiang Wan'er's eyes moved: "Why don't you say it?"

Zhao Hao said, "I want to use this method to make an exchange with Your Majesty."

He was talking about an exchange, not a transaction.

If it's a transaction, then it will become a different thing.

Jiang Wan'er frowned and asked, "Are you negotiating terms with His Majesty?"

Jiang Wan'er was not so easily fooled and she immediately saw through his trick.

Zhao Hao didn't reply, his eyes staring at the ceiling.

At this time, everything you say is wrong.

It would be better to shut up and let Jiang Wan'er experience it herself.

Jiang Wan'er took a deep breath, seemed a little annoyed, and snorted, "Tell me, what are the conditions!"

Zhao Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said, "Okay, this is what His Majesty asked me to say."

"What I want to exchange with Your Majesty is..."

Jiang Wan'er said unhappily, "Hurry up and say it, don't waste time!"

Zhao Hao said, "What I want to exchange is, Your Majesty."

"What?"

Jiang Wan'er's eyes shone, and then she said in a cold voice: "Zhao Hao, are you too stubborn?"

"Do you still feel that I have given you too much grace?"

Zhao Hao said, "Anyway, this is the case. Your Majesty can think about it carefully. There is no need to rush."

Jiang Wan'er gritted her teeth and even pointed at Zhao Hao's forehead.

After a moment, she let out a long breath and said, "Tell me first, what solution do you have?"

"You don't say a word, how can I know whether your method really works!"

Zhao Hao is so smart, how could he fall for such a trick?

He immediately shook his head and said, "That won't do. Your Majesty has to agree first, and then I can say it."

Jiang Wan'er said angrily: "You..."

"Zhao Hao, this is a matter of national importance. If you really have a solution, you should just give it to me!"

"You actually want to do business with me!"

"You are so bold!"

Zhao Hao lowered his head and continued not to speak, but he thought to himself: Isn't this all because of you?

If you were my friend, would you have to do this?

Seeing that he was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, Jiang Wan'er was furious.

"Okay, okay, I..."

"I promise you!"

"If your method is indeed useful and effective, then why wouldn't it be a problem for me to agree to it?"

Zhao Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Jiang Wan'er said angrily: "I am the ruler of a country, how can I be false?"

Zhao Hao said excitedly: "Okay, then there will be no problem."

Jiang Wan'er took a deep breath and said, "Can I tell you now?"

Zhao Hao smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright, alright, Your Majesty should have a complete map of the grassland here, right?"

Jiang Wan'er glared at him and nodded: "Come in with me!"

As he said that, he walked into the inner hall.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao hurriedly followed.
