The magnificent and winding city wall was like a flying dragon, and the tower-shaped watchtower stood quietly.
On the balcony at the top of the watchtower, Su Guan lay lazily in a chair and basked in the sun.
With Li Zheng Rong's death, the situation of the Southern Border was basically settled.
He did not think of continuing the northern expedition.
No matter how strong a country was, war was bound to lead to destruction. Militarism was no different from suicide.
Moreover, it was the weakest Chu Country?
Right now, the most important thing was to farm and develop. When the time was right, they would directly take away the neighboring countries.
"Supreme One, Xiao Daizhao is here." A guard walked up to the watchtower and reported respectfully.
Xiao Wan 'er?
Su Guan nodded." Please."
A moment later, the graceful palace maids and servants surrounded a gentle woman in a pleated skirt. Her temperament was gentle and dignified, showing the demeanor of a big family.
"Congratulations, King Wei." Xiao Wan 'er's eyes curved into crescents as she bowed politely.
Even if the Prime Minister came, he would have to bow and salute, let alone her.
"I'm Zhe Sha." Su Guan humbled himself and invited her to take a seat.
"You don't seem too excited about the title of King?”
Xiao Wan 'er sat down elegantly, her almond-shaped eyes filled with curiosity.
The other party was not as excited as she had imagined. That was a noble and peerless prince, a transcendental status that was above millions of people.
"Whether it's a prince or a commoner, doesn't His Majesty want to freeload?”
Su Guan smiled casually and made two cups of tea.
Xiao Wan 'er's eyes moved, and the corners of her lips curled into a beautiful arc.
With her intelligence, she naturally understood what the King of Wei meant.
Regardless of his identity, he would be loyal to His Majesty and work hard for the rise of Chu.
"Then Your Majesty can rest assured." Xiao Wan 'er's eyes were filled with joy.
What the imperial court feared the most was that the small temple could not accommodate the great Buddha, and they were afraid that King Wei would go to the great northern country to display his ambitions.
With this guarantee, the Chu Country was reassured.
"His Majesty has a gift for you." She waved her hand, and the palace maid presented the gilded sandalwood box.
"A gift?" Su Guan was confused.
"It's your birthday in five days. If you want to negotiate, you definitely won't be able to go back, so His Majesty sent me to deliver it personally.”
Xiao Wan 'er smiled and opened the box.
Birthday…
Su Guan was silent, his eyes a little dazed.
It was quite sad to say that this was the first birthday present he had received in twenty years.
In the past, she had cooked a bowl of noodles by herself. She was used to being alone, so there was nothing wrong with enjoying her birthday quietly.
However, at this moment, a glimmer of joy flashed across his usually calm face, and a warm current surged into his heart, like ripples in a mirror-like lake.
Inside the sandalwood box was an exquisite white jade tassel hairpin. It was flawless and looked like divine jade.
The hairpin was carved with the words "Su Guan".
"This is a beautiful jade that has been passed down for thousands of years by the royal family of Chu. It is only the size of a palm, and this hairpin takes up more than half of it.”
"Every part was personally carved and polished by His Majesty.”
Xiao Wan 'er handed the white jade hairpin over.
Su Guan took it and slowly rubbed the warm white jade. A familiar fragrance lingered.
His black hair was tied up loosely, and the hairpin that was inserted diagonally was crystal clear under the sunlight. It made a clear sound, like spring water.
Xiao Wan 'er stared at him, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The King of Wei was very handsome, but he had a gloomy and cold temperament that made people not dare to approach him.
However, with the jade hairpin, her temperament was more gentle and natural.
"Thank His Majesty for me." Su Guan said sincerely.
"Happy birthday to you in advance." The smile on Xiao Wan 'er's lips was mixed with the mist.
In fact, she also wanted to give a gift, but she could not figure out the Emperor's thoughts. Although she was born as cold as an ice mountain and would not belong to a man, what if she really liked the King of Wei?
Then wouldn't she become a thorn in His Majesty's side?
……
Outside the city, the smoke of the beacon was billowing. A vast convoy slowly drove over, and the flag of the Great Zhou was hung high.
With the Chamberlain of Dependencies Gu Lang as the leader, all the officials in charge of the negotiations wore solemn expressions.
They tried their best to suppress the humiliation in their hearts and sized up Flying Dragon City that belonged to the Great Zhou Empire.
The city walls and flags had changed owners, the armor was dense, the spears were like dragons, and the morale was high.
Boom!
The city gate opened.
In an instant, the Great Zhou negotiation team's face turned ashen, and their expressions became extremely ugly.
When the two countries discussed peace, they should have welcomed them with the highest scale, beating gongs and drums, and opening the door wide.
But now, only the side door was open, and no one could be seen.
This was utter humiliation!
"Please inform Su Guan that I'm here on behalf of the Great Zhou Imperial Court to request for an end to the war.”
Gu Lang, who was wearing a second-grade official robe, looked at the guards on the city wall with a stern gaze.
The lieutenant stood on the city wall and looked down at them from above. He said angrily,
"Are you all savages? He didn't even know etiquette? Please address him as King Wei!"
King Wei?
The Great Zhou envoys 'eyes were filled with shock, and their pupils seemed to have experienced a magnitude 18 earthquake. They were extremely shocked!
Wang Jue?
The abandoned son of the Great Zhou had suddenly become the most respected and noble king of the Chu Country?
