The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 510 A Good Deal
"Your Highness, are you joking?" Jing Li said coldly.

"Even though I don't understand state affairs or the territory of the Liao Kingdom, I probably know how important this is!"

Yelu Mengtu smiled calmly and said: "The empress has been able to come from a humble body to what she is now. Her vision and character are extraordinary. It is only natural that she has such thoughts!"

"But what the empress doesn't know is that in this palace coup, nearly [-]% of my mother's clan, my wife's clan, and the dependent clansmen were wiped out. This is an irreconcilable hatred, and I really can't bear it!"

Jing Li tapped her fingers on the table: "Even so, it is also His Highness's homeland. How can you abandon it so easily?"

Yelu Mengtu sighed and said, "I understand that the empress cannot understand. If I hadn't been enlightened by my teacher since I was a child, I probably wouldn't understand these principles!"

"In the words of you Central Plains people, it means that the situation is stronger than the people, and it is just a measure taken in desperation!"

He barely managed to gain a foothold outside the wall, and the few possessions he finally managed to acquire were almost completely destroyed in the royal family's melee.

Now, except for a few close confidants, he is really alone.

Jing Li thought for a moment and said, "The pancake drawn by Your Highness is a bit big. It will be difficult for me to digest it for a while, but let me think about it!"

"This is natural~!" Yelumengtu said disapprovingly: "My queen is always cautious in doing things, so it is right to be more worried!"

When Jingli returned to the palace, it was already dark.

Caichun said while helping her change clothes: "The prince came back early today and has been discussing matters with several generals in the study."

"I said I want you to come back, so go over and listen!"

When Jingli arrived in the study, Tantai Lin was looking at the sand table with several people.

In the study were not only generals Bai Changhe and Zhu Datong, but also several generals who had been fighting with Tantai Lin outside.

"It only takes about a day's journey from Baidu to reach the border of Longxi. Now Chen Yuzhang is too busy and the Li family is also very dissatisfied with him. This is our opportunity!" Bai Changhe pointed to the sandbank and said.

Zhu Datong looked at the sand table: "Longxi is indeed our opportunity now, and it is very convenient to get there from Chang'an. But if the troops are involved, what will happen on the other side of the grassland?"

Nowadays, most of Chang'an's troops remain in the Jingzhou area. Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, and there are two small princes nearby. They dare not make any big moves due to Tantai Lin's reputation.

But if the troops are withdrawn and someone provokes them, it will be difficult to explain the matter clearly.

On the other side of the Beishui River in the Liao Kingdom, although the Empress Dowager Xiao and the eldest prince were at odds with each other, they had the same goal when it came to targeting the Dafeng Dynasty.

Both believe that only by taking the entire Dafeng into their own pocket can they further explore the world.

If the troops in the rear were too empty, Queen Mother Xiao would naturally not miss this opportunity given her nature.

Jing Li, who had been silent for the whole time, said: "The matter in Longxi is feasible, but the situation in the grassland has changed!"

Then he told everyone about Yelu Mengtu's plan today.

Everyone looked at each other after listening.

Tantai Lin sat upright without commenting.

Zhu Datong, who has been dealing with the Liao people for more than a year, said in disbelief: "Is he crazy? If you hand over the south of Lurihan Mountain to us, doesn't it mean that you are giving us more than half of the grassland!"

"If we manage the grassland well, wouldn't it be just around the corner to enter Xijing?"

Bai Changhe was also a little hesitant about this. As the second prince of the Liao royal family, Yelu Mengtu actually betrayed his homeland to such an extent. It was simply unimaginable. +
In the silence, Tantai Lin said: "If this is true, there is nothing surprising!"

Yelu Mengtu said he was the second prince of the Liao Kingdom, but now he had no one to rely on. If he wanted to ask for help from the Dafeng Dynasty, he had to show full sincerity.If Dafengchao helps, he still has a chance to return to his homeland and make a comeback.

But if no one helps him, he will no longer be a high-ranking prince, but a bereaved dog hiding in Tibet.

After listening to Tantai Lin's analysis, everyone knew that this was indeed the case. Yelu Mengtu's choice to cooperate with Tantai Lin was undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger, but other than that, he had no other choice.

Jing Li said cautiously: "Having said that, I still have someone go to the grassland to see how the situation is in Xijing before you can feel at ease!"

The manpower she arranged in Xijing has received less news since the Liao royal coup.

Jingli wondered if there was something wrong with the people over there, making it difficult for them to deliver the news.

Everyone discussed matters such as the attack on Longxi and decided who would be the vanguard and in command.

The discussion lasted until late at night.

Tantai Lin held Jing Li's hand and walked along the corridor to the backyard.

"Did you see that troubled Prince Yuechi again today?"

Jing Li heard that his tone was a bit unkind and said with a hint of joking, "Is it possible that His Highness is jealous?"

Tantai Lin snorted coldly: "Do I deserve to be jealous of him? In a small country as big as a palm, only those of his people who have never seen the world will believe in the blood of the Holy Land!"

Jing Li was also skeptical about this matter. After all, she came from a later generation, and the talk of almost legendary bloodline had always been a means for the upper class to win over people's hearts.

"In that case, why bother getting angry with him," Jing Li leaned on his shoulder: "That guy is stupid and has a lot of money. Since he is willing to come and spend money, why should we push away the money we got!"

Nowadays, we need to fight and develop, and we don’t need money for anything. More money means a better chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Jing Li couldn't help but said: "You know how to talk about Prince Yuechi, why didn't you tell me that Yi Luozhuo is here too?"

Tantai Lin stopped and looked back at her: "Do you want to drive her away?"

Jing Li hurriedly said: "That's not possible, we are all doing business, and the visitors are just guests! There is no reason to drive away the God of Wealth!"

Just kidding, if Huiluo Zou doesn't leave for a day, she will have to collect her wool for a day, and then go back when she really has no money.

I heard that Hui Luozhao came here with a caravan this time. A lot of spices and gems were shipped overseas. The price must be extraordinary. I think there should be plenty of money in his pocket.

"Are you going to attack Longxi this time?" Jing Li raised her head and asked.

Tantai Lin lowered his head, his dark eyes reflected in hers, "If you don't go, Huang Biao and Zhang Xiong will already exhaust Chen Yuzhang!"

"Besides, Chen Yuzhang is not a general to begin with, but he was made the third-in-command of the White Lotus Army because of a chance encounter. If we want to deal with him, it doesn't matter if I don't take action!"

At this point, he paused again: "I have been fighting for these years and have not had a good rest. I am afraid that I will be too sick in the future and I will not be able to accompany you to the end. I will not go to any wars that are not too important in the future!"

Jing Li wanted to say, what could be wrong with your body, but she was afraid that this person would think too much, so she simply kept silent about it.

For a moment, there was a gentle breeze on the verandah, and the years were quiet.

At the same time, Chen Yuzhang did not have such a peaceful time. He was so anxious that he was about to explode.

"Say what you just said again!" Chen Yuzhang stared at Li with red eyes.
