Chapter 704: Music and Dance



Zhao Hao was suddenly embarrassed. What he said... was not wrong.

He was truly shocked at the time, and all he could think of was - his intuition was so damn accurate, no wonder he felt something was wrong when he first saw that woman!

There is indeed a problem.

Thinking of this, and considering that Xie Daoxun left in a hurry, he did not have time to ask the other party why he knew such a secret matter.

However, now that I think about it, even if I had asked at that time, the other party probably wouldn't have told me.

Who would easily reveal the channel through which they obtained this kind of information?

It is estimated that Xie Daoxun must have bribed a member of the Yue royal family, or placed a trusted spy around the Yue prince.

Apart from this, it is impossible to obtain such top-secret information.

With a light cough, Zhao Hao looked up at Jiang Wan'er and asked weakly, "Your Majesty, regarding the trade between the two countries..."

Jiang Wan'er asked back: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Hao said quickly: "What I mean is that trade between the two countries is a good thing. Sharing what we have can help us work hard and quickly restore our national strength."

"Of course, it is also a good thing for the Wu Kingdom."

“We have no reason to refuse.”

Although, according to Xie Daoxun, she wanted to do business with Zhao Hao.

He was attracted by the many items produced in Zhao Hao's workshop.

However, if trade between the two countries was not resumed, the products produced in his workshop could not be sold to the State of Wu.

After a pause, Zhao Hao continued, "Your Majesty, you pressed the snowflake salt before."

"Now, I think it's almost time to start."

Zhao Hao had already taken out the fine snow salt.

However, Jiang Wan'er considered that this item could be used as a strategic tool.

We can cut off the source of the trouble for Wu and Southern Chu.

So, he gritted his teeth and pressed it down.

Now that the State of Wu has taken the initiative to request to start trade, the time has come.

Jiang Wan'er pondered for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "You are right."

"Well, first you contact the female prime minister of Wu and ask her to send an envoy to come and fight me."

"To discuss matters of trade."

"Then, we secretly produce snowflake salt..."

"Then, we implemented the plan we had formulated at the beginning."

"What do you think?"

Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the time has indeed come."

Jiang Wan'er said, "This Snowflake Salt Workshop..."

Zhao Hao said quickly: "Your Majesty, I will give you the method of making it, and Your Majesty can send people to prepare for its construction."

"Now, Yongning is pregnant, and I cannot leave the capital."

Jiang Wan'er glanced at him and said, "Look how scared you are. How could I not know?"

Zhao Hao immediately laughed awkwardly: "It's because I was too nervous, hehe."

After leaving the palace and returning to the princess's residence, Zhao Hao went to the study and wrote a reply to Xie Daoxun.

A month later, envoys from the State of Wu arrived in the capital of Dagan.

To discuss trade between the two countries.

Before, it was an enemy country.

Now, we want to trade and not fight, but the hostility is still there.

The representative of the delegation is an old acquaintance of Zhao Hao.

The third prince of Wu, Sun Tuo.

Jiang Wan'er held a welcome banquet in the palace.

However, he did not participate.

Instead, he let Zhao Hao be responsible for the reception.

Originally, this matter should have been left to Princess Yongning.

However, Princess Yongning was pregnant, so this job was done by Zhao Hao.

The Linde Hall here has been prepared, but there is indeed no sign of the Wu delegation, and they have not arrived yet.

This made all the ministers present look at Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao also frowned slightly.

This is obviously an attempt to flatter him!

Next to him, King Kang came over and said, "Boy, what's going on?"

Although, the reception matter was handed over to Zhao Hao.

However, considering Zhao Hao's status, it is still slightly inferior.

Therefore, King Kang is also in charge.

This way people won't find fault with it.

Zhao Hao turned his head to look at Prince Kang and said softly, "It's okay. Your Majesty knows that I had some conflicts with the Third Prince of Wu before."

"He probably knew I was the one who was going to receive him, and he wanted to embarrass me."

"It's not a big problem, let's just take a seat!"

King Kang asked, "The guests haven't arrived yet, shall we take our seats first?"

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "If they don't come, won't we have to eat?"

King Kang smiled and said, "Okay, since you are the protagonist today, I will listen to you!"

Having said that, he called all the ministers to sit down.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao also walked to the main seat and sat down.

Then he ordered the food to be served.

The dancing and music also began.

Originally, the matter of trade was initiated by Xie Daoxun, who took the initiative to bring it up with him.

This time, the third prince was sent here to definitely facilitate this matter.

With this support, Zhao Hao doesn't care about the damn third prince.

Show off in front of him.

Roll as far as you can.

A full quarter of an hour passed before the Wu delegation finally arrived.

From a long distance away, before entering the Linde Hall, I could hear the sound of drums and music.

The third prince, who was in the lead, frowned and stopped.

Immediately, he looked at the young eunuch who was leading the way and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on in the hall?"

The young eunuch was startled and a little stunned. He immediately shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, I don't know."

Behind the Third Prince, a middle-aged man with a mustache and a slightly thin figure snorted and said, "Third Prince, could it be that the banquet has already started before we arrived?"

The third prince immediately said in a cold voice: "There is absolutely no such possibility!"

As soon as he said this, thinking that the person in charge of hosting this time was Zhao Hao, he immediately felt that this possibility did exist.

Taking a deep breath, he continued walking forward.

When we arrived at the entrance of Linde Hall, the door was open. Looking inside, we saw Zhao Hao sitting in the main seat.

At this moment, Zhao Hao was holding a wine glass in his hand, signaling everyone to drink happily!

Upon seeing this, the faces of everyone in the Wu delegation, including the Third Prince, instantly turned ugly.

The third prince was so angry that he almost had a miscarriage and even felt pain in his kidneys.

Zhao Hao, you really can do it!

With anger in his eyes, the third prince took the lead and strode in from the door.

Upon seeing this, the singing girls stopped immediately and quickly moved to the side.

As the dancers withdrew, the sound of drums and music stopped.

Seeing this, Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't see the Wu delegation coming in at all. He immediately turned his head to look at the drummers at the edge and the dancers who had dodged to the side.

"Um?"

"What's going on?"

"Why did the dance stop?"

"Keep going!"

"Keep playing, keep dancing, and don't stop without my order!"

"Really? There are no rules at all!"
