Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

The familiar voice came to his ears, and Lou Yu's stiff body instantly relaxed.

He lowered his voice and said happily, "You're here."

Everything inside and outside the yurt was completely silent, Lou Yu could only hear the light panting of the person in front of him.

In an instant, the uneasiness and anxiety in my heart were all healed.

He shook Huo Yan's hand back hard.

Being in a foreign country, surrounded by wolves, and everyone harboring ulterior motives, no matter how calm Lou Yu behaved, he had to admit that he was uneasy.

In order to avoid being discovered by others, no lights are allowed in the yurt.

By the moonlight, Lou Yu could only see a dark shadow in front of the bed.

"It's cold outside, you come up together."

Lou Yu said as he lifted the quilt.

"No need." Huo Yanyan pressed his hand, "I'm cold and will freeze you."

Lou Yu no longer insisted, he lay down gently on his side, staring at the direction of Huo Yan's face: "When did you come?"

"afternoon."

After negotiating with Wutimu, Huo Yan led three hundred light cavalry, and together with Wutimu's soldiers and horses, they arrived at a place fifty miles outside the royal court to hide their whereabouts.

Knowing that the mission had entered the royal court, he was really worried about going downstairs, so he borrowed the clothes of the Agutu people and sneaked into the royal court, hiding in secret and waiting for opportunities.

"His Royal Highness is superb in archery, today's arrow is very exciting."

In the darkness, his deep and hoarse voice fell in Lou Yu's ears, with some warm breath.

Lou Yu's face burned instantly.

"What kind of archery is superb? It's still far behind you."

He has self-knowledge.

Huo Yan chuckled: "Abalu is a first-class warrior on the grassland. Your Highness can knock off his arrow, which shows that his archery skills have reached perfection."

Lou Yu: "..."

When did Huo Yan learn the art of speaking?Why so many sweet words?

Perhaps it is because the dark night can magnify the hidden emotions in people's hearts, and the words that are not dared to speak boldly on weekdays are boldly released under the cover of the dark night.

Huo Yan's voice was deep and hoarse: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will always be by your side."

He squatted in front of the couch, grabbed Lou Yu's warm and slender hand, and boldly pressed it to his cheek.

The atmosphere suddenly became viscous.

Lou Yu's heart was beating wildly, and heat waves rose on his face.

He intuitively felt that Huo Yan was staring at him with two fires in his eyes.

Lou Yu couldn't help turning his face away, trying to pull his hand out, but stopped when he touched the stubble on his jaw.

"You've grown a beard."

"It's not mine, it's glued on."

To mix into the royal court, one has to do some disguise.

Lou Yu: "Oh."

The yurt fell into silence again.

The place where the palm was pressed against the cheek was burning badly.

After a while, Huo Yan finally let go of him.

"Your Highness, rest in peace, I will not disturb you anymore."

Lou Yu suddenly grabbed his sleeve, "Where do you sleep at night?"

He's not stupid, Huo Yan got in here, where is the yurt where he sleeps?

"Somewhere to sleep."

"Where?"

Huo Yan sighed in his heart, His Royal Highness is so smart, he can always puncture his tricks.

"I'll be guarding outside His Majesty's yurt, so no one will find out."

Lou Yu sat up and looked up at him.

"You traveled from Qingzhou to Ermu Grassland, and then from Daermu Grassland to Wangting. Have you ever had a good night's sleep?"

He could imagine the scene of Huo Yan traveling day and night.

And his hands.

Just now when they held each other, Huo Yan's palms had new calluses, and the backs of his hands were a little cracked by the cold wind.

"The cage is behind you on the right, take something out for me." Lou Yu ordered.

Huo Yan turned around and took a few steps, opened the cage: "What to take?"

"There is a box in the upper right corner, take it here."

Huo Yanyan reached out and touched the palm-sized wooden box, took it out and returned to the couch.

"Open."

Huo Yan opened it as promised.

Inside the box was the hand balm specially prepared by Lou Yu. He opened the cover of the hand balm, and a fresh fragrance lingered around the tip of his nose.

Huo Yan understood instantly.

He just smelled the faint fragrance from Lou Yu's hand, which was exactly the same as this one.

Lou Yu used his fingertips to draw out a little hand cream.

"Take it here."

Huo extended his left hand.

"Have both."

Huo Yan had no choice but to put down the box and stretched out his hands.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Lou Yu fumbled to touch it, and applied the hand cream to the back of Huo Yan's hand, spreading it evenly bit by bit.

From the back of the hand, to the fingers, to the palm.

Huo Yan felt hot in his heart, and suddenly felt an impulse, but was suppressed by reason.

The time and place are not suitable.

The two didn't say anything, but they felt very peaceful with each other.

After applying the hand cream, Lou Yuxu held Huo Yan's hand and said with determination: "During the time in Wang Ting, you will rest here with me."

Huo Yan said with a sour voice, "Okay."

He stopped coddling and lay on his side with his clothes on, twisting the quilt for Lou Yu.

"You catch cold easily." Lou Yu reminded softly.

Huo Yan turned his back, "There is a charcoal basin burning in the room, I'm not cold."

He wasn't really cold, he just felt hot.

Seeing that he was determined, Lou Yu stopped persuading him, folded the quilt and closed his eyes.

It was a very peaceful sleep.

The next morning, when Lou Yu woke up, Huo Yan was no longer in the tent, as if last night was just a dream.

When Feng Erbi came in, seeing his radiant face, he couldn't help but happily said: "It seems that Your Highness slept well last night."

Song Yan carried the water into the tent, and said distressedly: "His Highness has been on the road a few days ago, so it is inevitable that he is a little haggard."

"Well, I did sleep well last night."

In an unfamiliar environment, with someone who can make him feel at ease by his side, of course he can sleep well.

Lou Yu was in a good mood, after washing up, he pinched his nose and ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast prepared by A Gutubu's attendants, when Yan Hui suddenly came to see him.

He was puzzled and asked, "Why did Minister Yan come?"

After Yan Hui bowed and saluted, he let out a long sigh: "Does your Highness know that there is no way to negotiate a peace today?"

Lou Yu was stunned: "What time is it? How do you know that peace cannot be negotiated?"

"The lower official has asked, and said that King Gutu has important matters to attend to today, so he needs to wait."

These are all excuses, and everyone knows it well.

King Gutu did this because he didn't want to talk to them yet, and wanted to let them air first.

Lou Yu said: "Since King Gutu doesn't want to negotiate peace, then why are you looking for me?"

"Naturally, we will discuss the peace with His Highness." Yan Hui replied solemnly.

Lou Yu sneered: "Yan Shilang was hiding it before, but now he has changed his mind? But I think the grassland is very interesting, so it's okay to stay for a few more days, I'm not in a hurry."

Yan Hui: "..."

He was savvy, and he was able to save face, and quickly pleaded guilty: "I was rude earlier, Your Highness, please forgive me."

The Yan family is a princeling and is in the same camp as the Fan family.

Before Yan Hui's envoy, Fan Taifu sent someone to tell him to treat the envoys of the embassy with courtesy and not to be negligent.

Yan Hui didn't like to bully people, and had to be instructed by Fan Gong, so he would not deliberately ignore Lou Yu like Du Zhi did, and the superficial etiquette has never been wrong.

Earlier, he had misjudged him and thought Prince Qing was just an idiot, so he only regarded him as a mascot and had no intention of discussing with him.

After traveling all the way and experiencing a lot, he gradually understood why Fan Gong had to warn him like that.

It can be said that, except for the Fan family, everyone in the court looked away.

Yesterday, Lou Yu saved Dasheng's face from Abalu. Whether it was due to luck or special skills, this Prince Qing's son is absolutely extraordinary.

Therefore, after learning that King Gutu deliberately delayed the peace negotiation, Yan Hui immediately came to Lou Yu to discuss.

"never mind."

Lou Yu didn't bother to pursue him, so he just said, "Since we don't discuss peace today, why don't Minister Yan go out with me for a walk, how about enjoying the scenery of the grassland?"

Yan Hui: "..."

What is there to see in this winter?

Lou Yu didn't care how everyone slandered him, he called a group of envoys, took Li Shu and others with him, and left the royal court.

There are yurts all around the royal court, and there are soldiers and horses from the Agutu tribe guarding both inside and outside.

Ordinary herdsmen of the tribe live in the outskirts and live by grazing for generations.

In the past, they were able to trade with Dasheng, and their life was easier. After Dasheng closed the market these years, they could not exchange food and salt, and life was indeed a bit difficult.

In order to survive, they must invade and rob.

Lou Yu is a rich man, so it is impossible for him to empathize with the people of Agutu.

Aggressive wars are inherently evil, for whatever reason.

A cold wind blew in the grassland, Lou Yu tightened his collar, and stood outside the royal court looking at the vast distance.

"Yan Shilang, do you know why the closed market is closed today?"

Yan Hui said: "I am rich in land and resources, why do I need to trade with the barbarians?"

The mission was followed by a few servants from the Agutu tribe. These servants were all sent to monitor the mission, so naturally they all understood the Central Plains dialect.

Yan Hui's arrogance made them clench their fists.

Their grasslands have the best cattle, sheep and horses, does Shengguo have them!

Lou Yu looked at the galloping horses in the distance, laughed and said, "I don't think so."

The stronger you are, the more tolerant you will be.

The weaker you are, the more you will choose to escape.

The emperor is even afraid of the vassal kings, so how can he not be afraid of the increasingly powerful northern barbarians?

The reason why he chose to close the closed market is because only in this way can he keep Beiman out of the customs.

He regards the vassal king and the northern barbarians as enemies, and dismisses the rebels.

But in the end, it was the rebels who destroyed the capital.

How ridiculous.

The galloping horses were getting closer and closer, and the ground kept shaking.

Yan Hui was about to reply when the subordinate beside him suddenly said, "Isn't that Zuo Xianwang?"

Zuo Xianwang Abutu?

Lou Yu looked intently and couldn't help being surprised, the man driving the horses was really Abutu!

Abutu was dressed as a herdsman, with a felt hat on his head, and his handsome face was filled with an unmistakable smile.

It seems to be doing a very happy and beautiful thing.

When Abutu saw them, he grinned and waved his whip to greet them.

He slowed down the horses, handed over the horses to his subordinates, and dismounted in front of the mission.

"Did all the envoys sleep well last night?"

Abutu saluted with his right hand on his chest, and looked at Lou Yu with deep eyes.

It was known yesterday that Prince Qing's son looks good, but today it seems to be even more dazzling.

Lou Yu was not polite at all: "Of course I didn't sleep well."

Yan Hui and others: "..."

But Abutu laughed and said: "Loui Shizi is really temperamental! I, Abutu, admire you!"

"King Zuo Xian," Lou Yu asked curiously, "As the crown prince, why do you have to drive the horse yourself?"

Abutu pointed to the group of horses not far away and asked, "What do you think of them?"

Those horses are fat, strong and powerful, and they are all of the best quality.

Lou Yu did not hesitate to praise: "It's very good, it can be seen that the horse breeder is very devoted to them."

"Hahahaha," Abutu laughed heartily, "I, Abutu, thank you for your praise!"

Lou Yu was surprised: "You raised all these horses?"

"Yeah, they are a group of cute guys, and I am very happy to see them all strong and powerful!"

The smile on Abutu's eyebrows did not seem to be fake.

He really enjoys raising horses.

Seeing those lovely horses galloping freely on the grassland, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

"King Zuo Xian loves livestock so much, Lou is very impressed."

Abutu took advantage of the opportunity to invite: "Senior Lou, I met you for the first time yesterday, and I am impressed by the grandeur of your country. I have always loved the culture of the Central Plains. I have read many books about the Central Plains, but I don't know much about many places. I don't know if I have this honor. Can you get my son to solve my doubts?"

His Central Plains language is more fluent than King Gu Tu and the Second Prince, so it can be seen that he has indeed studied it seriously.

Lou Yu admired him a little bit, so he said bluntly: "I also like the style of your Agutubu very much, and I just want to ask Zuo Xianwang for advice."

"Hahahahaha, my son please."

The two went to King Zuoxian's tent together.

Abutu really likes to study the culture of the Central Plains. His desk and bookcase are full of books from the Central Plains.

"Sir, please sit down."

He was not polite, and didn't even think about exchanging greetings. He directly took a book from the shelf, turned to a certain page, pointed to a sentence in the book and asked, "Louis, what does this mean?"

Lou Yu: "..."

He glanced at it, didn't recognize it at all, then glanced at the title on the cover and realized that he had never heard of the book.

Feel guilty for a while.

As a native of the Sheng Kingdom, he can't read as much as a native of the Agutu tribe.

"I don't know who Zuo Xianwang learned the Central Plains culture from?" He said, "For the knowledge in books, you might as well go to that teacher."

Abutu lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and slowly lowered the arm holding the book.

He whispered: "My teacher is no longer here."

Lou Yu looked serious: "Sorry."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to apologize to me," Abutu waved his hand, and said freely, "Everyone dies, it's no big deal."

Lou Yu sighed softly: "Yan Shilang in the mission is far more talented than me, I can ask him to teach you."

"Really?!" Abutu widened his eyes.

"But you have to answer my question honestly." Lou Yu said with a smile.

Abutu restrained his smile: "What do you want to ask?"

"The wolves we met on the way when the mission came," Lou Yu lowered his voice, "Are they domesticated?"

Abutu looked hesitant.

"Actually, it doesn't make any difference to me whether you answer or not. I just think Zuo Xianwang's temperament is to my liking, and I want to make friends with you."

Abutu looked firm: "As long as the peace negotiation is successful, we will be friends."

Lou Yu smiled, "Our goal is the same, and we both want the peace talks to be successful, aren't we still friends? So, are wolves domesticated?"

The high-nosed and deep-eyed King Zuo Xian nodded his head lightly.

He told Abalu that Sheng people are very smart, and it is impossible not to see the strangeness of the wolves, but Abalu just didn't believe it.

Lou Yugong cupped his hands: "Mr. Lou, I would like to thank King Zuo Xian for saving me."

No matter what Abutu's real purpose was, he had saved the mission once in a while, and he should be thankful.

However, from Lou Yu's point of view, Abutu's eyes are clear, and he doesn't seem to be a scheming person.

Of course, the possibility that he is good at disguising cannot be ruled out.

Abutu smiled and said, "This is what I should do..."

Before he finished speaking, the door curtain was suddenly lifted, and someone interrupted Abutu's words.

"Brother Wang, why didn't you invite Lou Shizi to invite me?"

Abalu came striding forward, his gaze fixed on Lou Yu's face.

He still hasn't forgotten the humiliation of yesterday.

Lou Yu said with a cold face: "I'm just asking King Zuo Xian when he will be able to negotiate a peace. I don't want to stay on the grassland to blow the wind. Since the second prince also wants to participate, why don't you answer me."

"Father has very important things to do, how can I have time to see you?" Abalu said disdainfully, "You people from the Central Plains are delicate, and it won't work after a few days of wind?"

Lou Yu got up, shook his sleeves angrily, and said, "You were the ones who talked about the peace, but now you are the ones who are delaying the peace! Go back and tell King Gutu that the peace must be negotiated tomorrow!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Abutu sighed: "Abalu, you persuaded the father to delay the peace negotiation, right?"

"So what if it's me? From my point of view, don't make any peace negotiations, just call directly. Isn't the whole Shengguo ours?"

Barbarism and rudeness are the characteristics of the Agutu people, and plunder is engraved in their bones.

Abutu is not as optimistic as they are.

"I'm going to see my father."

Abalu sneered: "Do whatever you want!"

Perhaps because of Abutu's persuasion, King Gutu finally let go and said that peace talks will be held tomorrow.

The members of the mission had nothing to do and could only stay in the yurt and count the time silently.

After leaving their homeland for so many days, they were really homesick.

Lou Yu closed his eyes and meditated in the yurt.

"Your Highness," Feng Erbi suddenly approached him and said mysteriously, "Our yurt may have been burglarized last night."

Lou Yu: "...Why do you say that?"

"When I was cleaning the bed this morning, I found a hair, I'm sure it's not His Highness's."

"It might be yours or Ah Yan's." Lou Yu tried to argue.

The hair is so light, it's not normal to be blown to the bed when the wind blows when it falls.

Feng Erbi was determined: "It's definitely not, our hair is not that hard."

Lou Yu: "..."

Dare Erbi is still a detective?

"Not only that, I found that the cage was also moved."

Lou Yu's luggage is basically packed by Feng Erbi. He knows exactly where everything is placed, and if there is a slight difference, he can find it.

Huo Yan took out the hand cream from the cage last night, the light was too dark, he might have messed up some objects, and Feng Erbi discovered it.

Lou Yu coughed lightly: "I messed it up with hand cream last night. Besides, this is Wang Ting, how can there be any thieves?"

"Don't the Agutu people like to rob things? Why are there no thieves in the royal court?"

"..."

This statement is too reasonable to be refuted.

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing when he thought of someone's sneaky appearance last night.

"Then did we lose anything?"

"This is not."

"It's fine if you don't have one. We're in the royal court of Agutubu now, so it's inconvenient to go to war."

"Okay." Feng Erbi said, "Your Highness, I will stay under your bed tonight to see if there are any thieves!"

This will not work!

Lou Yu: "You just sleep outside, don't come in and disturb me."

"Ok."

Sensing His Royal Highness's slight dislike, Feng Erbi retreated aggrievedly, and cried to Song Yan:

"A Yan, do you think His Highness is tired of me?"

Song Yan was surprised: "How is it possible? Who doesn't know that His Highness values ​​you the most!"

"Nonsense, what does Your Highness value me the most!" Feng Erbi was very self-aware.

"Not who are you?"

Some images flashed through Feng Erbi's mind, and he almost blurted out a name.

"It's not me anyway."

As night falls, the north wind howls.

Lou Yu turned off the lights early and lay down.

But after a while, the "thief" came again.

The black shadow stopped by the couch and did not move.

Lou Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm cold."

Huo Yan sat down by the couch, and suddenly asked: "Did you encounter wolves on the road?"

He mingled in the royal court all day and inquired a lot of news.

Hearing this all of a sudden, his mind went blank for a moment, and deep fear surged in his heart.

He wished he could come to Lou Yu right away, but he forcibly held back.

Lou Yu was surprised: "How do you know?"

"Listen to what the Agutu people said."

The people under Abalu's command are very happy, but also hate the mission, and they can say anything in private.

They took Abalu's deeds of "leading wolves to attack the mission" as capital to show off, and thought that this strategy was quite good, but it was a pity that Abutu messed it up.

Lou Yu was even more surprised: "Can you understand Manyu?"

"The Huo family has dealt with various ministries in the northern border all year round. I have learned barbarian language since I was a child."

Lou Yu: "..."

Every time he felt that Huo Yan was good enough, Huo Yan could always bring him more surprises.

Seeing him in a daze, Huo Yan leaned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you injured?"

Lou Yu shook his head: "I'm not injured, Erbi was scratching my arm by a wolf to save me."

"You'll be fine."

Huo Yan was grateful to Feng Erbi, but also selfishly rejoiced.

His eyes were cold and stern: "The wolves were domesticated by Abalu, and he did this on purpose."

"I guessed it." Lou Yu replied.

Huo Yan's eyes became warmer, his Highness is always so transparent.

He smiled and said, "It's a pity that we can't touch him right now, we can only make him suffer."

Lou Yu's eyes lit up, "How did you vent your anger?"

"I put croton powder in his food."

When you come to the northern border, you must be fully prepared.

The croton powder was specially brought by him, and it is very effective against cavalry occasionally. If the war horse eats the feed containing croton powder, it is likely to have diarrhea.

I didn't expect it to be used on horses, but on people first.

Lou Yu almost laughed out loud, but managed to hold back.

He changed the subject and said, "Right now, King Gutu is deliberately delaying the peace negotiation. I'm afraid the peace negotiation will not be completed tomorrow."

"Ah."

Lou Yu frowned and continued to analyze: "Abalu's objection to the peace talks has been made public, but I just don't know what the attitude of King Gutu is."

The peace negotiation was decided by King Gutu.

But there is something strange.

After a bit of persuasion from Abalu, King Gutu decided to procrastinate; after Abutu tried to persuade him, King Gutu decided to negotiate a peace tomorrow.

Such uncertainty made Lou Yu somewhat unpredictable.

"Don't worry, it's winter now, Agutu's supplies are insufficient, and he has no strength to fight again. For the sake of the overall situation, King Gutu will definitely agree to negotiate a peace, but the conditions of the peace may exceed the court's expectations."

Huo Yan comforted in a warm voice.

"The imperial court wants to negotiate peace, King Gutu wants to negotiate peace, and Abutu wants to negotiate peace." Lou Yu smiled slyly, "But Abalu doesn't want to, Wutimu doesn't want to, and I don't want to either."

After two days of observation, Lou Yu felt that in this peace negotiation, perhaps only Abutu was the most innocent.

The rest are full of ghosts.

If King Gutu had no other intentions, it is impossible to deliberately delay the peace negotiation.

Abalu's idea of ​​the main battle is completely written on his face, but if he really wants to kill the mission, with his power, how can he really let Abutu find out about his plan, so as to send Saiye to rescue the mission in time Woolen cloth?

Is Abalu really just to oppose the peace?

This situation is complicated and confusing, depending on who is the snipe and clam and who is the fisherman.

Hearing his witty words, Huo Yan's heart seemed filled with honey, and there were smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows.

"The subordinate will always be with you."

Lou Yu's face became hot, he reached out to touch his clothes, and moved his body.

"The cold air on your body has dissipated, come up."

Huo Yan lay down on the couch as he said, with his back facing Lou Yu like last night.

Lou Yu didn't drink alcohol today, he was very sober, and he had time to make it clear to Huo Yan.

He poked Huo Yan's back and asked, "Why are you turning your back to me? Do you think I'm ugly?"

"No." Huo Yan quickly argued.

His voice was hoarse, falling in Lou Yu's ears, like a ball of sparks, ignited all at once.

Lou Yu: "..."

Listen to this voice, it can't be... right?

We are all men, some things don't need to be explained at all, everyone knows what they know.

Lou Yu quietly covered his face with the quilt.

Huo Erlang couldn't help flirting, right?He didn't say anything about tigers and wolves.

The heartbeat in the ear gradually accelerated.

Suddenly, the people around him moved.

Huo Yan turned over, hugged Lou Yu in his arms, and stretched out his hand to remove the quilt covering his face, with a hoarse voice: "Don't get bored."

The young commander had a fresh smell of grass and trees on his body, and Lou Yu was suddenly enveloped by this smell, and his mind went blank.

In the dark yurt, there is only the sound of two hearts beating.

"Go to sleep."

Huo Yan gently rubbed Lou Yu's forehead with his chin, gentle and intimate.

Lou Yu was so teased that he didn't feel sleepy at all, but thinking of Huo Yan's hard work these days, he lay obediently under the quilt and remained motionless.

When I woke up the next morning, I didn't see Huo Yan as usual.

Lou Yu sat up and suddenly remembered what Feng Erbi said yesterday, so he lay down on the couch to find his hair.

It really made him find a few strands of hair.

Some of them are slightly rough, and the rest are softer.

Lou Yu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

It happened that Feng Erbi came in and seeing him happy, he couldn't help saying: "Today's peace negotiation is over, we can go back, is your highness happy because of this?"

Lou Yu responded casually, and when Feng Erbi wasn't paying attention, he threw all the strands of hair under the bed.

It just so happened that Song Yan came into the account, leaned in front of him, smiled and lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, I just heard a barbarian servant whispering, and heard a very happy thing."

"what's up?"

Feng Erbi also leaned over to listen.

"It's said that the second prince of the Agutu tribe, Abalu, had constant diarrhea last night. After tossing and tossing for half a night, he almost died half of his life, haha."

"Really relieved! I don't like his arrogant appearance, and dare to disrespect our Highness, he deserves it!"

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Feng Erbi would have wanted to applaud.

Lou Yu lowered his head and smiled sullenly, with sweetness in his heart.

"Your Highness thinks it's funny too?"

Seeing His Highness Douxiao, Song Yan was very happy.

He is still useful!

Fortunately, he had learned barbarian language before, so he was able to find out such a joke and tell His Highness.

Lou Yu nodded: "It's really funny, but you should pay attention to safety when you inquire about the news."

"Yes!"

Lou Yu asked Feng Erbi again: "How is the injury on your arm?"

Feng Erbi happily said: "Your Highness, it's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious, it's almost healed already!"

"Well, be more careful."

"I know."

Feng Erbi made him care, and the smile on his face was even wider, and he hurriedly turned around to get the toiletries.

After dressing and washing, the attendants of Agutubu prepared food.

Lou Yu sat in front of the desk and had a meal.

"Your Highness, it's windy outside today, why don't you put on this cloak?"

Feng Erbi turned his back to Lou Yu, took out a vermilion cloak from the cage and asked.

After half a day there was no response.

Feng Erbi turned to look.

His Highness was propping his chin with one hand, while holding the cake in the other hand in a daze.

Not only was he in a daze, he was still giggling!

Feng Erbi was startled, hurried to the front of the case, knelt down and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Lou Yu suddenly came back to his senses, faced Feng Erbi's suspicious gaze, coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "I'm just thinking about today's peace talks."

"really?"

Lou Yu looked serious: "Really."

"Oh fine."

Lou Yu was not in the mood to eat anymore, just as Yan Hui and others came to wait in front of the tent, he simply put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and walked out.

"Your Highness! Great cloak!"

Feng Erbi trotted to catch up with him, and was about to tie the belt for him.

"Your arm injury is not healed yet, be careful."

Lou Yu took the tape and did it himself.

"Your Highness loves this slave, and this slave loves His Highness too." Feng Erbi narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Lou Yu knocked on his forehead with a smile, "Okay, I'm leaving."

Yan Hui looked at the deep affection between the two masters and servants, and couldn't help but smile.

They came to the king's tent again.

In the king's tent, Achinade, the king of Gutu, was sitting in front of his chest, while Abutu, Abalu and several senior officials of the nobles of the Gutu tribe sat beside him.

The other side is naturally reserved for the Dasheng Mission.

Lou Yu took the main seat, Yan Hui was next to him.

Yan Hui didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"King Gutu, the reason for the peace negotiation today is for your ministry to withdraw from our prosperous city of Danzhou. King Gutu might as well talk about the conditions for withdrawing troops."

"Danzhou City was brought down by our tribe with strength, and it is impossible to retreat easily."

Abalu raised his neck and said, "But as long as your country is sincere, it's not impossible for us to retreat."

"Youxian King, please tell me."

"Your country must provide our tribe with 10 taels of silver, [-] shi of grain, and [-] bolts of silk and cloth!"

Yan Hui: "..."

A member of the mission couldn't help but said: "There are too many, why should your ministry make things difficult for others? You have invaded my Dasheng land and plundered countless supplies, please don't go too far!"

"Excessive?" Abalu sneered, "If you can't even come up with such a small amount of supplies, then don't make any peace talks, you might as well go back to your Central Plains as soon as possible!"

He made it clear that he didn't want to negotiate a peace, and deliberately caused trouble.

But his arrogance really made the mission at a loss.

The atmosphere has become like this without saying a few words, can we continue to talk?

Yan Hui's eyes darkened: "I don't know that King Youxian has heard an old saying in the Central Plains, 'A gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall'. If your ministry cannot show sincerity, I, Dasheng, will definitely not be weak and bully. Can we still survive the winter?"

This directly hit the sore spot of King Gutu.

He is really powerless to manage Gu Danzhou now, if the negotiation breaks down and Sheng Guoyu dies, they will not be able to reap the benefits.

Achinade finally said: "Okay, now that sincerity is mentioned, I want to know how much sincerity can His Majesty the Emperor show?"

Yan Hui directly lowered the price: "I Dasheng can provide you with 5000 taels of silver, [-] shi of grain, and [-] pieces of cloth..."

"Did you fucking send the beggar!"

Abalu raised his eyebrows and glared: "This is Shengguo's sincerity? We, Agutubu, can't stand such sincerity!"

"Is it possible that I, Dasheng, can afford the request of your ministry?"

Lou Yu replied lightly, and then turned to Achinade: "King Gutu, let's stop wasting time, how about just drawing down the road?"

"Quick talk!" King Gu Tu laughed, "Abalu was just joking, envoys, please don't blame me."

He paused, and his smile faded: "This king led his troops to take down Danzhou City, and the casualties were heavy. Your country should make appropriate compensation, right?"

Everyone in the mission: shameless!

Lou Yu smiled: "Our army also suffered heavy casualties, so this should offset it."

Without waiting for King Gutu to speak, he continued: "King Gutu, everyone knows the principles of heaven and justice, so it's meaningless to talk about it. We don't need to say anything about what your ministry has done that hurts nature. The Ministry needs supplies for the winter, and I, Dasheng, need to take back Danzhou, it’s as simple as that.”

What kind of bullshit is "the heavy casualties need to be compensated", can you stop being so disgusting?

Everyone in Agutu: "..."

There's no need to bring it up and say it, don't you still say it?

"6000 taels of silver, seven thousand stones of grain, and one thousand bolts of cloth, this is the greatest sincerity that I Dasheng can show. If King Gutu is not satisfied, don't you think it is too greedy?"

"What do you mean!" Abalu was offended by his tone and content.

Lou Yu said coldly: "Being greedy is not enough to swallow an elephant, be careful to be stuffed to death."

"you--"

"Abalu," Abutu said to stop him, "you sit down first."

Abalu snorted angrily, he didn't even give King Gutu any face, he left the negotiating table and walked away.

Abutu watched him leave the king's tent sadly.

Deep down in his heart, he felt that what Lou Yu said was not wrong, and the justice of heaven was not on the side of Agutubu, so why should they be aggressive towards Shengguo?

So, he never spoke.

There is a saying in the Central Plains: Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry.

He took it for granted.

If Sheng Guo is pushed too far, A Gutubu may not be able to please.

My father has always been wise, why did he not give in on this matter?

Could it be that the father is not willing to negotiate a peace at all?

King Gutu had a stern face and dark eyes, he threatened: "Since the peace talks cannot be reached today, let's discuss them another day."

Mission member: "..."

Is it so sudden?

Lou Yu was even more arrogant, without a word of nonsense, he got up and left Wang's tent.

Seeing this, Yan Hui and the others had no choice but to follow.

A group of people followed Lou Yu into the yurt.

Yan Hui sighed: "His Royal Highness, I am foolish to think that King Gutu has no intention of negotiating peace today."

"The officer thinks so too."

The rest of the officials echoed.

Lou Yu lazily said: "Then we can only continue to spend time here."

If the negotiation fails, no one can return to the Central Plains.

Everyone sighed and bowed their heads back to their yurts.

Feng Erbi couldn't help worrying: "How long will this be delayed?"

His Highness couldn't eat well, live well, sleep well every day, he felt very distressed just looking at it.

Lou Yu leaned on the couch, "Wait."

At the negotiating table today, he made another discovery.

King Gutu has been pampering Abalu, but Abalu is not very fond of King Gutu.

This phenomenon is very interesting.

Song Yan came in at the right time, came to the couch, and said mysteriously: "Your Highness, do you know what I just saw?"

In the eyes of Agutubu people, he is just Lou Yu's personal attendant, and they don't pay much attention to him.

So he stayed outside whenever he had the chance to see if he could hear any news.

Others don't know that he understands Agutu language, so naturally they don't take him seriously.

"See what?"

Song Yan's voice was extremely low: "I saw a servant from the Agutu tribe walking very close to Vice Commander Du."

"What did they say?"

"I'm far away, so I didn't hear clearly, but I always find it weird."

Lou Yu knew that he was quite clever.

At the beginning, Wang Dayong and the others pretended to be craftsmen and asked A Yan for information, but A Yan made a fool of it on the surface, but reported it to him in private.

Since he felt that this matter was a bit strange, there was probably a problem.

Lou Yu didn't think that Du Zhi would be treasonous, but Du Zhi's brain didn't seem to be very bright, and he was easy to be used by others.

He thought for a while, and said, "Leave this matter alone."

He was too lazy to care about Du Zhi, he had no obligation to be responsible for the life and death of a grown man.

If Du Zhi was smart, he wouldn't get into the game easily.

Night fell again.

Huo Yan entered the tent with a cold body, and said in a low voice: "Abalu
