GongYimo glanced at Gong Dai and smiled, "Un, this agreement is unreasonable."
The moment she said that, the ministers and the Emperor all stared at her as if they didn't believe that she would speak up for an outsider.
King Lou Ye smiled, "Princess is still the most reasonable one."
Was he implying that the others were not sensible?
GongYimo rubbed her chin and said calmly, "Transactions between two countries should be equal. This consort is only helping reason and not kinship!"
As soon as her words came out, many of the people present took a deep breath and showed a look of disapproval. The Emperor frowned, unsure of what Gong Yi Mo was planning to do in the end.
At this moment, she winked at Longcheng Wuji, "Does King Lou Ye agree with this consort's words?"
Longcheng Wuji thought carefully and didn't find any loopholes. He nodded, "Of course I agree."
When GongYimo heard that, she smiled, revealing her white teeth, "King Lou Ye is indeed generous. However, let's put this cooperation aside for now and talk about … these war horses, how many are you willing to export in a year?"
"War horses?" Longcheng Wuji's expression darkened, "What does Princess mean? Lou Ye's war horses are not allowed to be bought or sold. This is the iron law of Lou Ye's dynasty! "
GongYimo finally revealed her fangs and quickly followed up, "In other words, King Lou Ye keeps on talking about a fair cooperation, but in the end, he wants to keep it to himself?"
Longcheng Wuji's expression darkened. It was extremely ugly!
Since he had already said it, it would be embarrassing if he changed his words. He thought of an excuse and said,
"Princess might not know, but other than the iron law set by the ancestors, Lou Ye had an outbreak of plague two years ago and all the horse farms were affected. Lou Ye was too busy to take care of himself, so he couldn't say anything."
GongYimo raised her brows, "Is that so?" Her white finger pointed at her forehead, "But … why did this consort hear that Hua Zhou's family has already recovered?"
Longcheng Wuji suddenly gritted his teeth, wishing he could strangle Hua Zhou Wuyou to death!
"There's no such thing! Princess, please don't be biased. "
GongYimo laughed, "Whether or not this consort is biased, this consort doesn't know, but this consort has heard that Lou Ye wants to open up a path with Yuheng! It can be seen that King Lou Ye is being modest. There are still many horses in your country. Otherwise, how could you casually support a passage? "
She even knew about this!
Longcheng Wuji was a little surprised, and believed that it must have been Flower Boat Wuyou who told him the secret! Otherwise, GongYimo would not have known about these secrets!
Thinking of this, he was even more dissatisfied with Hua Zhou Wuyou! But at this moment, it was useless to be dissatisfied. He had no way to back down!
If he said that her information was fake, then wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face when the passage was opened?
He had to think carefully about this matter!
However, GongYimo would not give him the chance to calm down. She took a few steps towards him and said aggressively.
"As for the iron law of our ancestors? King Lou Ye's vision needs to keep up with the times. Right now, the four countries are at peace, and opening up the country to trade is a good thing. We've already done this much, so why do you insist on sticking to the old law?
Furthermore, you said that you came with sincerity. This consort believes you because this consort knows that you really did bring a noble daughter! "
Longcheng Wuji suppressed his anger and said, "She's not …"
"Not?" GongYimo suddenly interrupted him with a smile, "King Lou Ye, don't joke around. You said that you wanted to marry your sister to Dai Yu State, so you came with sincerity. How could you not bring the princess with you?"
She was clearly threatening him. If he did not agree to sell horses, then she had the ability to marry Flower Boat Wuyou to Dai Yu State. When that time came, the great King Lou Ye would sell his fiancee for a partnership. Let's see how he would explain it!
Longcheng Wuji really wanted to stop her chattering little mouth at this moment! She was just a woman, so why was she more aggressive than the countless warriors on the battlefield?!
He had underestimated her. He always thought that GongYimo's every step was guided by Gong Dai, but now he finally realized! So GongYimo was the one guiding him!
He had to take Flower Boat Wuyou with him, but he could not change his words. He either agreed to GongYimo's request, or agreed to Gong Dai's request. However, he was extremely unwilling to do either of them!
When had he ever made a losing deal in his life?
GongYimo saw that there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, so she relaxed her tone and spoke softly.
"King Lou Ye is sincere, so my Dai Yu State naturally will not be stingy. I heard that Lou Ye and Yuheng have not finished discussing the details of the horse path. This consort is not talented, but this consort has a few ideas … You should know that the canals and canals in Dai Yu State were all this consort's ideas. A horse path is not difficult … As for the choice, I hope that King Lou Ye can be decisive. This consort's patience is limited, and I don't like to haggle over every ounce!"
Her words were like a slap and a sweet date, and it even contained a hidden threat.
However, the ideas she mentioned were exactly what the King of Lou Ye desperately needed right now! At this time, he had already acknowledged GongYimo's talent. After all, the effects of the canals were right in front of him, and Lou Ye had also started to try them out.
So even though he was unwilling, he could only admit defeat!
GongYimo was too powerful. If he made a mistake, he would lose the whole game. If he continued to argue, he was afraid that the result would be the same.
So he gritted his teeth and raised his cup, "Alright! This consort wishes the two countries — — a happy cooperation! "
Soon, a palace servant served wine. GongYimo held the cup with her jade fingers and calmly saluted him.
"As for the details, this consort, as a woman, will not participate. I believe that King Lou Ye also has an idea about the number of warhorses to be exported. If the cooperation in the end is happy, this consort does not mind giving a farewell gift as a gift."
She meant that if he asked for too little and she was not satisfied, she might not return Hua Zhou Wuyou to him?
Longcheng Wuji looked at her again and gnashed his teeth. He wanted to give her a few whips! But he could only smile.
"This consort … will thank you in advance!"
GongYimo smiled when she heard this. She drank the wine and smiled proudly at Gong Cheng.
Gong Cheng also did not expect that GongYimo would be so powerful! Her methods and intelligence did not lose to any of his sons! It was a pity that she was a girl.
After that, things went smoothly. Moreover, GongYimo did not have anything to do. She was happy to be free.
A few days later, when they sent off Lou Ye and the others, Hua Zhou Wuyou followed behind King Lou Ye dispiritedly. It was obvious that he was scolded harshly by him.
Gong Dai rode on a horse and sent them to the city gate.
Longcheng Wuji also rode on a horse. He was very disappointed when he did not see GongYimo's figure.
But it did not matter. Although he lost this time, next time, he would definitely make GongYimo look good!
And Gong Dai … … he had prepared a big gift for him!
"Many thanks for Dai Yu state's hospitality. This trip was too rushed, so my sister did not come along. In a few days, Lou Ye will marry the princess with a big gift. Together, the two countries will be happy!"
Gong Dai looked at him coldly, "Farewell, King Lou Ye."
"Farewell!"
Longcheng Wuji angrily turned around and the group quickly left!
He wanted to see if Gong Dai could still be so calm after knowing the details of the cooperation!
