Molested Zulong at the beginning

Ji Liang looked at the depressed Bai Su, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Unexpectedly, Bai Su, who has always been full of bad things and plotting against others, will have a day when he is blocked at the door of his house and dare not go out.

......

......

At the same time, Xianyang West City.

In the station.

A girl dressed in foreign costumes was sitting upright in front of the table. The exquisite silver ornaments on her head moved with the wind, and they collided with each other, making a tinkling sound.

She was holding a letter from the Yuezhi Kingdom in her hand, looking at the contents, her slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her white teeth were biting her vermilion lips tightly, obviously it was not good news.

During the period when she led the mission to Xianyang, the situation in the Yuezhi Kingdom became more and more chaotic. Originally, there was not much food and grass in the country, and it was very difficult to support it for three months.

But first, there was a drought in the northern region, and refugees were everywhere, and there was an urgent need to dispatch food to relieve the disaster.

But the nearby Wusun and Loulan kingdoms, seeing the chaos in Yueshi's country, not only did not send charcoal in a timely manner, but they fell into trouble one after another.

Seeing that the Yuezhi Kingdom, which was originally blooming like a brocade and expanding towards the Western Regions, was so weak, they dispatched troops to the border one after another, as if they wanted to take the opportunity to snatch a city and a half.

After all, on weekdays, if they want to buy silk and wine from the Central Plains, they still need to be exploited by the middleman of the Yuezhi Kingdom. They need to pay several times the price to buy commercial goods from the Central Plains.

Such excessive exploitation by the merchants of the Yuezhi Kingdom has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding countries in the Western Regions.

All kinds of conflicts accumulated in the past days have all erupted now, led by Loulan and Wusun, leading soldiers from all over the world to gather one after another.

If it were the past, the Yuezhi Kingdom would naturally be worthy of them.

After all, they are rare in the Western Regions. They are a big country with a population of one million and nearly 20 soldiers under their command.

Can't beat the Xiongnu, can't you beat the small countries in the Western Regions?

But today is different from the past. Faced with the cutoff of trade in the Central Plains, the whole country is in a situation of food shortage. Let alone a war, the government is struggling to maintain normal operations.

The only one who can save Yuezhi Kingdom is Xianyang.

But for some reason, no matter what expensive gifts she brought, she went to pay homage to Sister Zheng, but she didn't even have the chance to be summoned.

As for Prime Minister Li Si, General Meng Yi, Wang Jian and other important officials of the imperial court, it was not without expensive gifts that she went to visit in private.

But the answers they got were all the same, they all said that this was His Majesty's decision, and they couldn't go against it.

The only ones who can have a glimmer of hope now are Daliang Zao and Bai Su from Da Xia.

The fate of millions of people in the Yuezhi Kingdom all depended on him alone.

Just when she was extremely anxious, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far to near.

"Your Highness, I'm back."

I saw a sweaty guard walking in from the door.

Xiao Li hurriedly raised his head: "How is it, is Master Bai back?"

The guard wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I'm back, but..."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Xiao Li couldn't help being taken aback: "But what?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "But Mr. Bai is ill, and has started to close the door and see no visitors."

Xiao Li said with a dull expression: "Sick... sick, why did Master Bai suddenly get sick!!!"

The guard smiled wryly and said: "I don't know either. I have been guarding in front of the gate of the mansion according to His Highness's order. When I saw Master Bai's carriage coming back, I hurried forward to inquire, but was stopped by the guards in the mansion."

"They said that Mr. Bai has contracted a strange disease and is not feeling well. He needs to recuperate for a while, and he will not see any guests for the time being."

Xiao Li hurriedly asked: "Then Master Bai's illness is not serious, how long will it take to recover?"

The guard replied: "It is said that it will take ten days and a half months to cultivate, Your Highness... Do you think that Xianyang has no ability to help us at all, so Mr. Bai is behind closed doors?"

Xiao Li shook his head: "I have already inquired in Xianyang City. Recently, Guanzhong is another autumn harvest year, and there is no shortage of food. Maybe he is not satisfied with the heavy gift we sent, so he just closed the door."

The guard smiled bitterly and said, "We've already taken so many jewels, jades, and rare things, and he's still not satisfied. This... what should we do?"

After all, they had already taken out all the treasures they could, and there was really not a single drop left.

Xiao Li bit her vermilion lips, and said in a low voice, "We still have a gift, but we haven't given it yet."

The guard looked stunned: "Where do we have gifts?"

Xiao Li Fen clenched her fists, hesitated for a long time and said in a low voice: "The last gift is me..."

The guard hurriedly said: "This...how can this be, Her Royal Highness is the king of a country, how can it be regarded as an artifact and given to others?"

On Xiao Li's fair and pretty face, there was a look of determination: "As long as I can save the Yuezhi Kingdom, I am willing to give everything. It doesn't matter if I sacrifice myself for the fate of millions of people."

"But Your Highness..."

"Don't say any more, I've already decided to try my best to summon famous doctors in the city to meet Mr. Bai in the name of a visit. No matter what the price is, I will persuade him."

Xiao Li looked out the window, towards the direction of Yuezhi Kingdom, and said firmly.

Chapter 170 Xiao Li Won't Let Your Lord Pay For Nothing

The gate of the White House.

A slender figure walked towards him, followed by several doctors with medicine boxes on their backs, and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

The one who took the lead was a girl dressed in foreign costumes, with a silver pendant on her forehead. The breeze blew, and the blue hair fluttered, reflecting a pretty face with an exotic style and blue eyes, which looked extraordinarily unique.

This person is none other than Princess Yuezhi, Xiao Li, who came to visit again.

Although she had already made up her mind when she came here, when she actually stood in front of the gate of the mansion, she was still nervous for a while, and after a long time of hesitation, she finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

Under the gaze of everyone, she walked over and subconsciously tightened the clothes on her body, as if this was the only way to bring a sense of security.

Walking to the door, he knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, the door slowly opened.

"crunch..."

I saw a little Qiao with a bun combed her head out of the courtyard door, blinked her eyes, and asked, "This... this girl, who are you looking for?"

Seeing the girl's delicate cheeks, Xiao Li's nervousness eased a little.

She smiled softly, saluted politely, and lightly parted her vermilion lips: "Miss, please inform me that I have something important to meet with Mr. Bai."

Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes, remembered Bai Su's entrustment, coughed lightly and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, my master has caught a cold recently, his body is dying, and he is going to die soon, please forgive me for not being able to help you."

Xiao Li's expression froze, and she raised her head immediately. The innocent eyes made Xiao Qiao stunned for a moment, she clenched her teeth and said: "I am worried about Master Bai's health, so I specially brought the most skilled doctor in the mission, There is also a famous doctor in the Guanzhong, who will definitely find a way to cure Mr. Bai's condition."

Xiao Qiao's expression froze, and she said strangely: "No... no need, my master's condition is hopeless, you should go back."

"My lord is a pillar of the sky, a minister of the country, and now my lord is physically impaired, how can I turn a blind eye."

Xiao Qiao waved to the doctors behind them carrying medicine boxes: "Go, come with me to see Master Bai."

Seeing that they were about to force their way in one after another, Xiao Qiao said in a panic, "Hey, hey, how can you force your way in?"

Xiao Li respectfully stroked his chest and saluted, and said, "I'm sorry, I really have something important to meet with Mr. Bai today. I'm rude. I will personally apologize later and beg for your forgiveness."

If possible, she would not want to be so rude.

But Yuezhi Kingdom really couldn't wait, every extra day of delay would bring Yuezhi Kingdom a little more crisis, she really had to see Bai Su.

Xiao Qiao saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly wanted to go in to report the news to Bai Su.

But it was too late.

I saw Bai Su and Da Qiao sitting in the courtyard, fanning in front of the stove, and holding a grilled chicken wing in his hand.

Bai Su raised his head with a chicken wing in his mouth, just in time to meet the eyes of Xiao Li who was walking towards him, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Qiao next to him: "Didn't you say that Master Bai is dying of illness, why do you still have the time to eat chicken wings?"

Xiao Qiao's expression froze, and she looked at Bai Su begging for help.

Bai Su scratched his cheek with his fingers, and when everyone looked at him, he coughed lightly and said, "Very simple... because I like braised chicken wings the most, and I want to eat more because I am dying of illness."

When Xiao Qiao heard this, she nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's right, otherwise I won't have anything to eat in the future."

Everyone suddenly looked strange.

One of the doctors clasped his hands to Xiao Li and said, "Then... Your Highness, do you want us to go forward and check?"

After all, Bai Su's rosy complexion, anyone who is not blind can tell that he is not sick at all.

Xiao Li saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he ordered: "Since Mr. Bai is already terminally ill, then...you can step back for now, I have some things I want to talk to Mr. alone."

"Yes……"

A group of doctors pushed down one after another.

"master."

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao sisters also looked at Bai Su.

Seeing that he had been spotted, Bai Su knew that he could not escape, so he waved his hands and said, "You guys also retreat for the time being."

Da Qiao nodded her head gently, pulled her sister beside her and pushed her down. Before going out, she even grabbed Xiao Qiao's ear, as if to reprimand her for being so careless.

Xiao Li walked into the study with Bai Su, and she closed the door behind her back, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Daliang Zao in front of her.

Bai Su poured her a glass of wine and looked at the girl in front of her.

She has an exotic face, beautiful long eyebrows, with a bit of western style, seems to be often exposed to the wind and sun, her skin is a sexy wheat color, a pair of blue eyes, Ling Ran upright, as if There is not a trace of dirty lake water.

Xiao Li bit her red lips lightly with her bright teeth, suppressing the tension in her heart: "Xiao Li, I have seen Daliang Zao."

Her voice is very soft, but it is sonorous and powerful, like a snow lotus on an iceberg, holy and white, without a trace of pollution.

Looking at her pure eyes, Bai Su's impetuous mood subconsciously calmed down.

With a smile on his face, he said: "As expected of the Princess of the Yuezhi Kingdom, you are still as extraordinary as ever."

Facing Bai Su's compliment, Xiao Li didn't have much joy, but bit his lower lip: "My lord, Xiao Li came here this time to ask for something."

Bai Su took a sip of his drink and said, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Li pursed his lips and said: "My lord, the Yuezhi Kingdom has always been on good terms with Daxia, since the two countries began to exchange trade, Yuezhi Kingdom has always regarded Daxia as a big country, and has never slackened in coming to Xianyang to meet each other every year. "

"Recently, the Yuezhi Kingdom has encountered a rare drought. There has been no rain for several months. The country is short of food for disaster relief. However, Xianyang has cut off the trade with our Yuezhi. Countless people in our Yuezhi Kingdom have suffered a famine."

"I also hope that you will go to the palace to speak out and change the policy of the first emperor based on the feelings of the past. As long as you are willing to sell grain, I will be willing to sell it five times... Even if it is ten times, twenty times the high price, I can accept it." .”

"From now on, my Yue clan is willing to treat you as a guest of honour, and to treat him with national courtesy. Even as long as it can help you to advance in your career, my Yue clan is willing to give up a city and a pool, and donate it to Xianyang in the name of your son. I also hope that you will come forward." Help me, Yueshi."

She is a smart person, and from the attitudes of the officials in Xianyang towards her, she has been keenly aware that not only did Emperor Shihuang not have the idea of ​​rushing to help the Yuezhi Kingdom, but he also had some thoughts about the Yuezhi Kingdom, so officials of all sizes dared not go here Muddy waters.

Under such a situation, it is impossible to persuade the first emperor by relying on some tribute gifts. The best way now is to cut off the wrists of a strong man...

At the price of giving up a city, he not only has an excuse to persuade the first emperor, but also gives Bai Su a chance to advance in his official career, so that he can buy Bai Su for future consideration of the Yuezhi Kingdom.

She originally thought that after hearing the best of both worlds plan, Bai Su would definitely ask her with a look of surprise, and then she would be able to gradually state her conditions and requirements and negotiate.

But unexpectedly, Bai Su didn't react at all after hearing her words, but just looked at her indifferently, as if looking at a... clown.

Xiao Li didn't expect such a result at all, he couldn't help being stunned, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.

Bai Su glanced at her indifferently, and said, "Do you think I'm interested in these things?"

Xiao Li Tan opened his mouth slightly: "My... my lord, I..."

She never imagined that after struggling in her heart for a long time, Bai Su didn't even take a look at the price she paid for gritting her teeth. What she thought was life-saving straw turned out to be nothing more than fishing for moons in water, which was useless at all.

Seeing Xiao Li with pale face and constricted pupils, Bai Su rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "It's not that I don't want to help you. After all, I'm an honest person, and I really don't like seeing girls cry..."

"The reason why I have been hiding and not seeing you is because I don't want to tell you His Majesty's cruel thoughts."

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Cruel thought, what does your lord mean by this?"

Bai Su said with a straight face: "What Your Majesty wants is...to turn the entire Yuezhi country into a county."

Xiao Li's eyes widened immediately, and he said in a daze, "What... what, the First Emperor wanted to annex our Yuezhi Kingdom, but my Yuezhi Kingdom is located thousands of miles away, even if Great Xia has a strong army, he wants to annex my Yuezhi Kingdom, It’s not easy either.”

Bai Su coughed lightly, and said, "That's why someone suggested that they want to join hands with Wusun and Loulan to divide the Yuezhi Kingdom into two, each occupying one side, and His Majesty is already a little moved."

"You also know that there are many factions in this imperial court. Even if it is me, if we don't have the right conditions, we can't argue with them at all. So the reason why we have been avoiding you is mainly because there is nothing we can do to help."

Xiao Li froze, what... what, carve up the Yueshi together with Wusun and Loulan.

If this is the case, is there still a way for the Yuezhi people to survive?
