Although he was unhappy, Le Chengdi did not show any emotion on his face. However, his expressionless face made him look more dignified.
Jing Wan sighed in her heart. After all, he had been the Emperor for twenty to thirty years. No matter how bad he was, he still had a lot of things that he should have. Among his sons, although there were quite a few who were strong, they could only use their sharp claws and teeth in front of him, including Li Hongyuan. Before they were prepared, they would not easily make a move.
"Father, your daughter-in-law will return to her seat first," said Jing Wan.
"No rush." He tilted his head. "Bring a small stool over." After giving his orders, he looked at Jingwan with a warm smile. "Sit next to me. I have something to ask you."
Since he had spoken, Jingwan could only sit down obediently. This seat was very eye-catching. However, it was only a small stool, similar to an embroidered stool. Sitting next to Le Chengdi's feet was the same as a junior sitting next to an elder. It did not matter. Instead, it gave her weight. If she could gain Le Chengdi's favor, no matter how unreasonable she was, even Imperial Concubine Su would have to think twice before doing anything to her. Perhaps this was the reason why her husband had presented the portrait on the spot.
The foreign beauty's dance had already ended. The beauty was enchanting, her dance style fiery. However, apart from making some unrelated people's blood boil a bit, the main character's heart didn't even stir up a single ripple, only suffering a bit of coldness for nothing. Tsk, she really was quite pitiful. It seemed that the Imperial Concubine was without a doubt Le Chengdi's "true love."
Only then did Le Chengdi look at the envoy of the West Xiong Nu. He did not say anything, but his meaning was clear.
Speaking of which, other than the former Wei, the Qi Yuan's mortal enemy, the Western Xiongnu and Southern Qi were also real enemies. Their borders had never been truly peaceful. Southern Qi was a bit better, but the Western Xiongnu were lacking in resources and drank the blood of Mao Ru. They were all martial people and were naturally warlike. No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for them to remain indifferent in the face of a fat piece of meat like the Qi Yuan. The West Xiongnu and North Xiongnu were originally from the same family. However, the two brothers had a falling out, and not only did they split up, but they also became mortal enemies. It was so serious that they had to pacify their internal affairs before resisting foreign aggression. Comparatively speaking, the North Xiongnu was weaker. It was only thirty years ago that they proposed to marry the princess of Qi Yuan as a way to establish diplomatic relations. With the marriage of Princess Heyang, they originally wanted to borrow the power of Qi Yuan to get rid of the West Xiongnu. However, in the end, Princess Heyang killed the King of the North Xiongnu. The North Xiongnu was crippled by Qi Yuan, and it would be difficult for them to recover for decades.
However, Jingwan believed that the West Xiongnu must have contributed to this as well. It was just that Qi Yuan would not record this down in history.
There were many reasons why Qi Yuan did not directly invade and take over the North Xiongnu's territory. Apart from the huge difference in cultural heritage between the two countries, it was too difficult to subdue the North Xiongnu. Another reason was the terrain. If the North Xiongnu were to be included in Qi Yuan's territory, it would be a little like a gourd. The North Xiongnu would be at the smaller end of the gourd. Although there were not many places that bordered Qi Yuan, they were surrounded. Furthermore, the West Xiongnu would definitely take care of things. After weighing the pros and cons, they took some benefits from the North Xiongnu and retreated. However, it was really strange that the North Xiongnu did not get swallowed by the West Xiongnu and become the powerful Xiongnu again.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Qi Yuan, we Xiongnu worship martial arts and are not interested in these girly things. Why don't we let our warriors fight to liven things up for everyone? It will also be a blessing for Your Majesty. What do you think?" Regardless of whether it was the North Xiongnu or the West Xiongnu, they all considered themselves as Xiongnu, just like how the Former Wei considered themselves as Great Wei.
However, they really came up with the idea of using martial arts as a blessing.
However, if the Xiongnu appeared in other countries and did not "flaunt their martial arts", they would not be called Xiongnu.
"Approved." Le Chengdi was too lazy to care about this kind of thing.
As expected, a burly West Hun man who was accompanying them stood out and tore open the leather jacket on his upper body. With a tug on both sides, he pulled out his hands and tied the jacket around his waist, revealing bulging muscles that looked like tree bumps. He looked rather powerful. Previously, when the woman revealed her arms and waist, these noble ladies of Qiyuan still had to avoid looking at her, not to mention now, who knew how many people's faces turned green. Jing Wan slightly shifted her gaze, and also could not help but frown. Although the cultural background was completely different, it was not to the extent that she did not understand it completely.
Seeing their reaction, the West Xiongnu people did not restrain themselves. Instead, they slapped the table and laughed loudly. The man in the middle deliberately shook his muscles. "I've long heard of the valiant men of Qi Yuan. Our Xiongnu women all look forward to it. I hope you won't be stingy with your guidance."
Although he said so, his provocative and contemptuous look was simply too obvious.
Many people of Qi Yuan were filled with righteous indignation. They almost slammed the table and stood up. However, they still had to maintain their gentlemanly demeanor.
Of course, not everyone could maintain their gentlemanly demeanor. Furthermore, there were some people who could not be provoked.
Li Hongyuan casually threw the wine glass in his hand. It fell to the ground with a clatter and shattered into pieces. At this moment, it was particularly eye-catching. However, Li Hongyuan's expression was still indifferent. His demeanor was better than anyone else's. It was as if the person who did this was not him at all. "He Zhihai, properly teach our noble guests what is called 'when in Rome do as the Romans do'. Today, your fists should not be like cotton. Otherwise, when the time comes, benwang will turn you into cotton. "
When the West Xiongnu people brought it up, He Zhihai was eager to give it a try. However, he was suppressed by his mother and grandmother. He could only be restless. Thinking about it, in this situation, without the orders from above, they naturally could not act blindly without thinking. Now that he heard Li Hongyuan's words, he inexplicably trembled. Then, he deeply understood Jin Qinwang's meaning — — that, the former Fifth Prince of Wei was beaten by him until he could not get up. Jin Qinwang also said that his fists were like cotton. In other words, he only needed to leave him with one breath. Or … … sparring, sometimes it was inevitable that he would not be able to stop.
Le Chengdi did not speak. It was clear that he tacitly agreed with Li Hongyuan's meaning.
To be honest, Li Hongyuan was usually infuriating, but at this time, it made people feel particularly relieved. After all, the other party had already provoked him. Of course, it was more satisfying to slap them back on the spot.
He Zhihai rubbed his fists. However, he was only sixteen years old. Even if he was taller than his peers and stronger than his peers, that face still looked like it had not completely shed its childishness.
Such an appearance would naturally be looked down upon by others. The West Xiongnu people's ridicule was a very normal thing.
He Zhihai did not get angry. Instead, he grinned and said, "That's right. Xiao Ye's hair is not even fully grown yet. So, sometimes, it is inevitable that I do not know my limits. If something happens, please be magnanimous." Xiao Ye had already said the ugly part first.
