Li Yu was stunned, but he still raised his head subconsciously. Then, he was stunned.
Li Yu couldn't be blamed. Although their aesthetic standards were different, people's fondness for beauty was actually the same. Gong Yi Mo's appearance had already gathered all of Li Yu's fantasies of a goddess in his mind and acted out her beauty to the extreme!
He didn't know how to describe her beauty. The most direct way to describe it was that her appearance was so beautiful that it made people's hearts palpitate.
GongYimo glanced at this person lazily. He was better looking than the others, and just like his name, his face was like jade. It was just that he was still young and looked too immature, and he wasn't very tall.
It was no wonder. The average height of the men in Dai Yu State was considered tall. This was because generations of people had been living better and better. On the other hand, Wei Nation was poor, so it was normal for people to be short.
"What do you want to do by coming here?"
This question really stumped him. When they came, the "adults" in their group had a lot of ideas, but they were all unrealistic.
For example, if the people here were stupid, they would use their intelligence to seize this place. If they weren't stupid and were rich, they would think of ways to gain more benefits before going back to think of other ways.
In short, according to the description left behind by Li Yu's father, their impression of Dai Yu State had always been that it was rich, kind, simple, and hospitable.
In other words, weren't they just stupid, rich, and easy to bully?
However, after arriving at Dai Yu State, Li Yu never heard the adults mention these things again. That was right. The size of Dai Yu State was beyond their imagination!
Dai Yu State didn't lack smart people. Otherwise, it wouldn't have developed so quickly.
Dai Yu State was rich, kind, simple, and hospitable. However, from the sturdy city walls to the orderly guards, it was clear that the people of Dai Yu State weren't easy to bully.
Their passion and tolerance were all built on the foundation of their great strength!
Therefore, he spoke to the point.
"We want to learn from Dai Yu State. Dai Yu State is very good and rich, but our country is very poor."
Li Yu didn't have many tricks up his sleeve. He just expressed his most intuitive feelings.
GongYimo covered her mouth and chuckled. When she laughed, everyone couldn't help but look over and secretly peek.
First, he was dazzled by her smile. Then, he realized in hindsight that the person in charge of Da Yu seemed to be pregnant?!
This was too shocking. There were so many strong and smart men in Dai Yu State. Why would they listen to a pregnant woman? Could it be that her child was very important?
These Nihon people kept imagining, but then they heard GongYimo ask with a smile.
"It's fine if you want to learn, but what are you going to use in exchange?"
GongYimo's tone was calm, but the arrogance was obvious.
That casual attitude reflected the absolute majesty of a big country. Moreover, they did not take them seriously at all.
Li Yu gritted his teeth. In fact, he didn't know what his country had that was worth exchanging for, because Dai Yu State was far superior to them in every aspect.
"Please wait a moment, Your Highness."
He bowed to GongYimo and then started to discuss with his companions. His companions exclaimed and frowned. No one knew what they were talking about.
The palace servant couldn't stand it and motioned to GongYimo. GongYimo waved her hand casually, indicating that they didn't need to care.
If these people had any bad intentions, she could crush them with a finger.
After they finished discussing, Li Yu's expression turned ugly. He relayed the leader's words.
"Your Highness, the leader thinks that Dai Yu State is so prosperous, but we are so poor. The Dai Yu State should help us. This way, when we become strong, we can repay the Dai Yu State."
GongYimo chuckled.
The leader of the Nihon people glared at Li Yu, thinking that he didn't express himself clearly.
In fact, Li Qing had only expressed his thoughts concisely. He had just left out the tactful parts.
"Your reason is not valid. Dai Yu State doesn't need anyone's help to develop. Why should we … waste time on unnecessary diplomacy?"
"…" Li Yu felt that the princess was right. They didn't need it at all.
At this time, the leader said something to Li Yu. Li Yu hesitated for a while, but still decided to repeat it.
"Everyone needs friends, and so does a country. We will definitely be your loyal friends."
"No, loyal friends are not your friends, but your subordinates."
GongYimo replied lazily, causing Li Yu's expression to change.
"Dai Yu State has 17 subordinate countries. They are all subordinates of Dai Yu State and are subjects of Dai Yu State.
Therefore, Dai Yu State only wants subordinates, not friends. In other words, not everyone can become friends with Dai Yu State. Do you … understand? "
Her words were very rude, but what did it matter? The two sides weren't even on equal footing. Why should they be treated equally?
Sure enough, after Li Yu repeated it, those people didn't dare to say anything. GongYimo was right. In the end, he said something, and Li Yu repeated it.
"I thought Dai Yu State hated generosity."
Was he implying that GongYimo was stingy?
GongYimo raised her eyebrows slightly. "Dai Yu State is very generous to its citizens."
What she meant was, as a small foreign country, why should they be generous to you?
In the end, the leader rolled his eyes, and the group began to discuss in low voices again.
GongYimo saw that Li Yu's expression was somewhat reluctant. She smiled and let them continue their discussion.
In the end, Li Yu's face was pale, but he still said it.
"Our country is willing to submit to Dai Yu State. We hope to receive help from Dai Yu State."
GongYimo smiled. "How do we submit?"
Li Yu paused. He felt that he had nowhere to hide under her gaze.
"Our country's emperor will personally come here and sign a letter of credence with Dai Yu State. He will be their emperor forever."
GongYimo smiled. The other party had a good idea.
They thought that Dai Yu State didn't have a boat that could cross the sea. Even if they lied, Dai Yu State wouldn't be able to expose them.
This way, they could find someone to impersonate the emperor and sign a fake document. Then, they could cheat Dai Yu State of their technology. Even if they were discovered in the future, they could say that they didn't do it. Someone had impersonated the Japanese to cheat Dai Yu State.
This was truly a shameless plan ….
Seeing that GongYimo didn't say anything, the bearded leader forced Li Yu to speak again.
"If Dai Yu State doesn't trust us, we can send the emperor's son to Dai Yu State to study." What he meant was that he could be a hostage.
GongYimo narrowed her eyes and suddenly said something that seemed unrelated.
"You all came from afar and haven't had a good tour, right? It won't be too late to talk about this after you have toured Dai Yu State's capital city."
As she spoke, she waved her hand and asked the people to send the guests out.
After all, this was Dai Yu State's territory. These people were quite obedient and left obediently.
GongYimo called a palace servant forward and told him with a smile which places didn't need to be visited and which places had to be visited.
