Chapter 495 Su Jiuni is farming at home!
In mid-spring April, flowers are in full bloom and leaves are lush.
The capital of Dai Viet was bustling with tourists, and was showing signs of prosperity.
At noon, all the teahouses and restaurants on the street were packed with guests. While drinking tea and wine, they talked about everything and detailed the recent events in Dai Viet.
"No matter where I heard it from, I have a way. If the news is not true, next time you see me for tea, I'll catch you and pay for it!"
"So, the Emperor of Dongpu really sent a letter to my emperor, proposing an alliance with Great Viet?"
"I believe this news! Nan Sang's atrocities are now known to the world. Almost all the envoys from various countries who went to Nan Sang to celebrate have never returned. Can the other countries swallow this anger? Nan Sang clearly relies on the possession of the magic weapon and does not take anyone seriously!"
"No, no, no, that's wrong. I should say that Nan Sang doesn't take any country other than our Great Vietnam seriously. But I have Su Jiuni in Great Vietnam, who is Nan Sang's nemesis, hahahaha!"
"When all the nations came together to issue a wanted order for the bandits in the Land of Exile, what a commotion! Our emperor, despite risking offending the nine nations, withdrew the wanted order and forcefully protected the people of Great Yue! Su Jiuni and the others, enjoying the emperor's protection, will surely support him in return, right? These people of the Jianghu may act recklessly, but they are loyal! Look, the emperor didn't protect the wrong people, did he? The rewards are coming soon!"
"I have good news, and it's true! Everyone has heard of the name of the King of Beixiang Mobei, right? He has come to Dayue in person! To discuss an alliance with the Emperor!"
"Hey! Is this true? Don't make such irresponsible remarks! If the King of Mobei has come in person, then it wouldn't be surprising if the Emperor of Dongpu took the initiative to send a message to the alliance! Let's think about it. Dongpu and Beixiang have successively sent signals of friendship to Daiyue. How can the remaining small and medium-sized countries still sit still?"
"Hahahaha! Our Dayue has become so popular in the blink of an eye!"
"Oh my, I'm so excited! Boss, bring me two more pots of good tea! Come on, everyone, keep talking! Does anyone know anything about Su Jiuni, the great hero? Where is she now?"
"I actually know this. She's farming at home!"
“…”
“…”
The sound of coughing and choking filled the teahouse lobby, and countless tea drinkers stared at each other with wide eyes.
The muffled laughter in the corner was covered by the coughing and did not attract anyone's attention.
There were two men in brocade clothes sitting at the tea table, one was nearly fifty and the other about twenty-three or twenty-four.
The muffled laughter came from the young man, who really couldn't help laughing and was laughing so hard that he kept on sniffing.
"Our distinguished guest will arrive at the city's suburban pier in half an hour. Are you sure you want to continue listening here?" Zi Yi tried to keep a straight face, as if he was also trying to hold back his laughter.
"No rush, it's not here yet." Wei Li wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes. "I'm going to write these words in a letter later so that everyone can have fun together."
"If Mr. Gan knew you were so childish in private, he would definitely catch you and give you private lessons."
"As long as you keep it a secret for me, he won't know." The young man blinked, stood up in a good mood, and walked out leisurely with his hands behind his back. "Let's go. If we delay any longer, we will keep our distinguished guest waiting."
Zi Yi's mouth twitched.
Now you know you're delayed. Why didn't you think of this when you were welcoming the guest to the teahouse for tea?
The tea drinkers in the teahouse continued to talk. No one could have imagined that the emperor would come to the teahouse to listen to gossip.
The two of them boarded a carriage out of the city and headed straight for the pier on the outskirts of the city.
"The Emperor of Dongpu's letter arrived first, but the King of Mobei beat him to it and came in person. Aside from Xiling, which remains silent, the two major powers have successively expressed their sincerity in seeking friendship with Dayue. It won't be long before other small and medium-sized nations will extend their olive branches." Zi Yi sat at the side of the carriage, a smile in her eyes. "Wangque Tower is well-informed, and Tianbao should have received the relevant news as well. Should we invite her to Changjing to discuss this together?"
"Senior sister has a cold personality and is lazy. She won't care about this kind of thing at all. Even if you talk to her about it, she will just pass the burden on to you." Wei Li could even imagine what his senior sister would say to him.
——Why do you have to come to me for such a thing? What do you, the emperor, need?
If she gets angry, she will beat him without choosing the right time.
Wei Li rubbed his temples, trying to block out the image of his senior sister beating him. "Nansang not only has the magic weapons, but also the stolen iron men. The King of Mobei will not tolerate decades of hard work being reaped by someone hiding behind the scenes. He will never let this happen. The magic weapons aside, he will never let those iron men fall into the hands of others. This time, he came in person, not only to discuss the alliance against Nansang, but also to gain the support of Dayue and reclaim the ownership of the iron men."
"The Iron Man, like the Divine Weapon, bears no seal of authority. It's as difficult for him to obtain the Iron Man as it is for him to obtain the Divine Weapon. The other nations won't easily yield when it comes to their own interests. If Dai Viet agrees to his terms, it would be taking on a difficult situation and directly offending other nations."
"He's seeing that Dai Viet isn't afraid of offending other nations, and that other nations are begging Dai Viet instead." Wei Li's lips curled slightly, but his expression had settled into a calm, deep expression. "As the saying goes, if we're in agreement, we'll come; if we're not, we'll go our separate ways. Let's not rush into making our stances, let's see what leverage he can offer. Dai Viet's current national strength is far from enough to reach the top of the great powers. Without strength, it will always be controlled by others. Seizing this opportunity could allow Dai Viet to take a major step forward."
He rubbed his face again and looked up at the man sitting to the side. "Uncle Zi Yi, Da Yue must move to a higher position. I don't want to be a burden to them forever."
Zi Yi was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his lips curved up, "I swear to follow the emperor until death."
They actually all knew that every time Tianbao hesitated when doing things outside, it was to protect them.
Because they were weak, the Dai Viet Kingdom was weak, so the girl who could have acted without restraint had to make compromises again and again.
And don’t they also want to create a world for her so that she can fly freely?
But I am unable to do it and there is nothing I can do.
"If the bargaining chip offered by the King of Mobei is big enough, what will the emperor do?" The carriage sped and soon arrived at the outer gate of the city's suburban dock. Before getting off, Zi Yi asked.
The young man jumped off the carriage and said without hesitation, "Of course, I'll discuss it with Tianbao first and see what she wants. The olive branch that Dayue has received now was earned by Tianbao. Whether she accepts it or not is up to her."
After saying this, he turned back helplessly, "Uncle Ziyi, you are Tianbao's uncle, right? Are you testing me? Every time they come to the capital, I get bullied. Who in the court doesn't know this? I've also faced them with bruises on my face. Tell me who else doesn't know that Su Jiuni can beat up Emperor Xuan Jing at any time. Tell me, and I'll tell him the truth to his face."
Zi Yi, “…”
Zi Yi said, "Your Majesty, I saw the King of Mobei, he is only a hundred steps away. Please don't force me to hold back my laughter, it will be disrespectful to the state."
Wei Li's expression immediately changed. When he turned his head to look over there, his aura was naturally noble and majestic, with no trace of the desperate attitude he had just had.
