Chapter 43: Yuan Kuo, the Envoy of Yan(1/2)
"Who is it? Who is it, who is the one who is desperate, dares to bully you?" Listening to Liu Ruoshui's coquettish words, Lin Mo felt a chill in his heart, but he looked very doting and distressed.
"It's me." As the voice fell, a heroic man in gorgeous clothes stood up, followed by two maids in white. They were the younger brother of the Chu king, Xiang Yuan, known as Xiang Yuanjun.
In the Dagan Empire in Zhongzhou Continent, the brothers of the lords of various vassal states were respected as "jun", and Xiang Yuan was respected as Xiang Yuanjun, and also had the meaning of Prince Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan walked forward a few steps, took off from the crowd, looked at the great sword master lying on the ground and said angrily: "Why did I raise you, a waste, why don't you dare to get up quickly? It's embarrassing."
Listening to Xiang Yuan's reprimanding words, the great sword master's face, which was originally full of pain, also felt a little embarrassed. In the end, he had to resist the severe pain from his body, stand up, and retreat aside.
"It turns out that it is the famous Xiang Yuanjun of Chu State. He is so disrespectful!" Lin Mo turned around and looked at Xiang Yuan, put Liu Ruoshui in his arms on the ground, and bowed to him.
"I can't afford to be famous? You are Lin Mo and Lin Ziyong, you are the leader of the Mo Sect, and you are the first-rank nobles and officials of my great power in the empire, and the military god admired by everyone." Xiang Yuan replied calmly, with a faint contempt and ridicule.
"It's all people's love, love." Lin Mo smiled and replied with a smile, "You dare to ask why Xiang Yuanjun bullies my maid?"
"There's no reason, it's just that I saw your maid beautiful. I liked it and wanted to take it back for fun." Xiang Yuan was outspoken, and the toughness in his words was even more powerful.
"How to say, Xiang Yuanjun is interested in my maid Lin Ziyong?" Lin Mo asked in a very plain tone, but there was no expression on his face.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the officials immediately showed a look of watching the show.
They knew that Lin Mo was very fond of his maid. Yesterday, for her, he pointed his ministers at the Luanying Hall and even let the Dali Temple Minister Zhuo Ping be beaten, all of whom wanted to see how Lin Mo dealt with the crazy Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan was from Chu, and the people of Chu have always been extremely arrogant. The ambition of Xiang Tian, the leader of Chu, was obvious. Although Lin Mo and the others didn't like it, they were at least those who were doing big things.
Therefore, at this moment, all the officials stood up on Lin Mo's side, wanting to see if the leader of the Mo Sect, Lin Mo, dared to teach Xiang Yuan a lesson, the most powerful country, and how the crazy Xiang Yuan a lesson.
"That's right, I just like your maid." Xiang Yuan answered directly, turned to look at Liu Ruoshui, and showed a swaying smile: "How about it, beauty, come with me, I will treat you and make you happy like a god."
"Sir, look at him." Liu Ruoshui took Lin Mo's hand, and Qiu Feng rubbed Lin Mo's arms on his chest, with an extremely charming expression and tone, which made some old erotic bones on the spot crisp.
Seeing Liu Ruoshui acting coquettishly beside Lin Mo, Xiang Yuan said again: "How about it, Lin Shangqing, give you your maid to me, and I will give you 100,000 gold leaves as compensation."
Lin Mo did not answer, but said in a controversial tone: "Before Xiang Yuanjun, I will discuss something with you. If you allow that matter, I will agree to you."
Hearing this, Liu Ruoshui's heart trembled, his heart was a little panicked, and his hands tightened naturally: If Xiang Yuan agreed, would he really want to give him?
Thinking of this, Liu Ruoshui felt a little sad.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Yuan's face showed two expressions of confusion and excitement. He wondered why Lin Mo was not aware of what happened. He was excited that he had the chance to get Lin Ruo.
Just as Xiang Yuanwu was confused and excited, Lin Mo suddenly said in an inquiring tone: "Xiang Yuanjun, I heard that your eldest lady is a famous beauty in Chu State, and she is born with a charming charm?"
"That's right, my eldest wife is one of the two top beauties in our Chu State." Xiang Yuan looked very proud, obviously very satisfied with his eldest wife.
But a question immediately arose in my heart: "Lin Shangqing, ask what my eldest wife is doing?"
Lin Mo's lips curled up a smile and said loudly: "What if you might as well give your eldest lady to Benqing? I will give you 200,000 golden leaves as compensation. If Xiang Yuanjun agrees, I will give Ruoshui to you."
"Oh, and there." As he said that, Lin Mo signaled the maid in white on the left side of Xiang Yuan with his eyes: "By the way, this maid will be given to me. Your eldest lady will come to the mansion and need to serve her in the daytime."
Lin Mo said this, the expression on Xiang Yuan's face immediately subsided, and the onlookers all laughed and laughed, which was a kind of happy smile from the bottom of his heart.
All the court officials onlookers knew that Xiang Yuan's eldest wife was his first wife, and Xiang Yuan loved his eldest wife very much, but for some reason his eldest wife could not give birth to children, Xiang Yuan chose to collect beautiful women.
"Sir, you are so cruel. I thought you really wanted to use this bad guy Ruoshui." Liu Ruoshui rubbed Qiu Feng on his chest again and acted coquettishly.
When Lin Mo heard that he was playing Xiang Yuan, Lin Ruoshui fell to the ground immediately with a heart.
"You..." Xiang Yuan reacted and saw that Lin Mo dared to play tricks on him, he said angrily: "Lin Mo, you really don't know how to live or die. You, the leader of the Mo Sect, actually play tricks on me. Be careful that I will lead an army of 300,000 to slaughter your Moyun Mountain."
"Oh, Xiang Yuanjun is so proud. If Xiang Yuanjun can really do it, please give in yourself!" After saying that, Lin Mo ignored Xiang Yuan.
He picked up Liu Ruoshui in the waist and Lin Mo shouted happily: "Let's go, beauty, let's go back home quickly and have fun. Today we will change our tricks, okay, my beauty Ruoshui?"
Liu Ruoshui was pretty and blushed. He buried his head in Lin Mo's arms and said shyly: "It depends on the master. Ruoshui will do his best and serve you wholeheartedly."
As soon as Liu Ruoshui finished speaking, Lin Mo hugged her and took the Sima Yinsi. Xifeng and Qiu Yun shouted softly, and drove the Sima Yinsi and went to the outside. The sound of flirting orioles vaguely heard from the Yinsi.
Lin Mo and the beautiful man left intimately in the Sima Yinsi, and the onlookers and envoys from other vassal states lost interest in staying, and they also climbed their own carriage with laughter and joy.
The State of Chu was the most vast among the twenty-seven vassal states and the strongest national strength. It owned the seven states and had 600,000 troops, including 200,000 elite troops, with military strength close to the great royal family.
Therefore, the State of Chu was feared by other vassal states and was also a dark cloud over the heads of the court officials who were doing great things.
Today, Xiang Yuan was humiliated in public at Lin Mo. The missions of other vassal states were very happy to see it, including the vassal states with the Chu State and the onlookers, who felt that the dark clouds on their heads suddenly dispersed.
Looking at Sima Yinsi, she left far away, Xiang Yuan's face turned extremely ugly, and suddenly looked at the white-clothed maid on the left and said angrily: "It's all your good ideas that you have come up with torture to let me be humiliated in public here."
Xiang Yuan snorted coldly, and then walked onto his carriage without looking back. The great sword master who was defeated by Qiu Yun hurriedly endured the pain on his body and followed.
Seeing Xiang Yuan's carriage gradually leaving, the white-clothed maid on the right was a little angry, and then he respectfully said to the white-clothed maid on the left: "How dare Xiang Yuan be so rude to you?"
"It's okay." The maid in white on the left shook her head and said with a little sadness: "Xiang Yuan and Xiang Tian are really the same. They are all anxious and can't control themselves as soon as they are wronged."
The maid in white on the right also said with great emotion: "The founding emperor who was working hard put down his figure and pulled over the ox cart for Jiang Wang, who was still a mountain citizen. How could this two brothers achieve such a great thing?"
"So we need help, okay, don't sigh. Our plan needs help from a powerful country like Chu. Let's follow us quickly."
Everyone left, Quan Qing, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army who was left aside, smiled awkwardly and quickly sent his soldiers back to their posts to serve, but he was very grateful.
Fortunately, the storm has subsided, and fortunately Lin Mo did not make things difficult for him and blame him because he did not stand up at that time and stood up for Liu Ruoshui.
The four horses and silver si walked slowly on the way back to Lin Mansion.
"Ruoshui, who did you learn from the charming expressions and greasy tone you just acted with? It really made me lose goosebumps all over the floor."
Thinking of Liu Ruoshui's coquettish voice just now, Lin Mo, who was lying on Liu Ruoshui's knees, still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. I don't know who she learned the coquettish method.
Liu Ruoshui massaged Lin Mo's shoulders and said with a giggle: "Of course I learned it from Mrs. Qingcheng. Ruoshui saw that Mrs. Qingcheng acted like a spoiled person with adults on weekdays, and it was very helpful to her."
"Qingcheng?" Lin Mo recalled in his mind. Baili Qingcheng's expression and tone of coquettishness in his daily life, and thought about the expression and tone of Liu Ruoshui's expression and tone of coquettishness just now. It was really the same.
However, why did the effects of the two use completely different? Baili Qingcheng made him enjoy it, and Liu Ruoshui made him feel chilled? Lin Mo was very confused.
Suddenly, Lin Mo figured it out.
It turns out that Baili Qingcheng is only twenty-one years old, and her temperament and appearance are more hot than a hot loli, while Liu Ruoshui is twenty-three years old, with delicate curves and a graceful lady.
Understanding the key, Lin Mo held Liu Ruoshui's jade hand and said seriously: "Ruoshui, don't learn to be beautiful again in the future. If you are not suitable, go and learn from Tang Yunu."
"Why is this learning from Tang Yunu?" Liu Ruoshui was puzzled.
Lin Mo kissed Liu Ruoshui's jade hand on the back, shook his head, and said with a smile: "No reason, it's right for you to go anyway. If you learn it, I will definitely be happy and enjoy it."
Liu Ruoshui and Tang Yunu have similar figures and backgrounds, and they are both practitioners who have picked up long swords and killed people. If Liu Ruoshui learned something from Tang Yunu, it would definitely add several times of charming charm to him.
Maybe Tang Yunu was satisfied with Lin Ruoshui's apprentice and could teach her some ways to improve her realm. Of course, the cooperation between the two would be more tacit and help Lin Mo complete that thing better.
Looking at the evil smile on the corner of Lin Mo's mouth and comparing himself with Tang Yunu, Liu Ruoshui instantly understood Lin Mo's intention with some evil thoughts.
But then I thought that if I had learned it like Tang Yunu and thought of the sweet and happy days in the future, Liu Ruoshui held back the shame and said, "Okay, Ruoshui must have worked hard for you."
"Just understand, Ruoshui, you..." Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to say something, Sima Yinsi suddenly stopped, and then the sound of Xifeng came.
"Sect Master, Ambassador Yuan Kuo of Yan State, please see you."
Lin Mo became curious and asked Liu Ruoshui: "Ruoshui, didn't Yuan Kuo talk to you in the side hall outside the Tai Chi Temple? Why is he here again?"
"Oh, I've been tortured by you just now, and I forgot the main business." Liu Ruoshui exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Yuan Kuo said there is something important, and he must see you before he can say it."
"What a Ruoshui, I was so turbulent that I forgot the real thing, and I actually blamed me." Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him and shouted outside the car: "Xifeng, let Yuan Kuo come up and talk."
"Affect the order."
The curtain of the car was lifted up, and a middle-aged man wearing the Yan State ambassador uniform got on the car. It was the middle-aged man who showed respectful gaze to Lin Mo when the Yan State mission entered the imperial capital yesterday.
Yuan Kuo got on the four horses and Yinsi, Xifeng and Qiu Yun continued to drive towards Lin's mansion.
"I am not sure about Mr. Mo, Mrs. Ruoshui." After Yuan Kuo came in, he looked at Lin Mo lying comfortably on Liu Ruoshu's knees, and hurriedly bowed with a very respectful tone, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Ruoshui.
Mr. Mo is a person in Yan State who knows the relationship between Lin Mo and Yan Baiyu and his wife. He respectfully calls Lin Mo. When these people see Lin Mo, they need to be treated as the lord.
The reason why he didn't dare to look at Liu Ruoshui was because Yuan Kuo knew that if he looked around, he would definitely anger the husband of the king, and there would be no good results.
"Don't be too polite, please get up. There are no outsiders here. Just say anything you need." Lin Mo raised his hand and signaled Yuan Kuo to get up without politeness.
"I thank Mr. Mo for your job." Yuan Kuo stood up, sat on the left side of the car in a proper manner, and then said something that shocked Lin Mo and Liu Ruoshui.
"The ministers in the Yan State's court and the people of Yan State, please refer to the Princess Rena's test of recruiting her in the Western Regions and do your best to marry her."
As soon as Yuan Kuo said, Lin Ruoshui was stunned: What's the fuss? On behalf of everyone in Yan State, he asked the king's husband to take a concubine? Let other women compete for favor with him?
Lin Ruoshui felt that if the mistress knew Yuan Kuo’s words, she would definitely chop off his head.
"Oh, can Lord Yuan Kuo tell me the reason for marrying Princess Rena?" Lin Mo had already expected it, his reaction was very plain and his tone was also very plain.
Yuan Kuo said respectfully: "There are two reasons. First, if Mr. Mo, you marry Princess Narena, it will be beneficial for you to act in the imperial capital. You will not have the power of King Rong and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu, and will also provide you with more security."
"Well, what you said is reasonable, let's talk about your second." Indeed, as Yuan Kuo said, marrying a princess in the Western Regions is equivalent to holding the Western Regions in disguise. If it breaks apart in the future, King Rong and Empress Dowager Xuan Shu will be afraid of it.
Princess Rena is the beloved daughter of the King of the Western Regions. If Princess Rena does something big, the King of the Western Regions will be furious and then raises an army to invade the territory. This will be a big deal.
Yuan Kuo continued: "The second is that although there are tens of thousands of iron armors that you trained and built in Yan State, you lack good horses and an excellent iron cavalry with an offensive like a storm like a storm."
"It makes sense." Lin Mo nodded in agreement, but said, "You don't have to worry about this excellent iron cavalry. Bai Yu and I have already made arrangements."
Yuan Kuo was stunned at first, and then said respectfully: "Mr. Mo and the king are really far-reaching. That's because Bei Zhi and others are worried about it. Don't you know, Mr. Mo, are you going to visit Princess Rena's marriage in the Western Regions?"
"I have to discuss this with Baiyu before I can decide." Lin Mo thought for a while, but did not give a definite answer: "Okay, if Lord Yuan Kuo has nothing to do, go down."
"As for orders, then the humble position will be retired."
After Yuan Kuo got four horses and Yinsi, Liu Ruoshui said indignantly: "They are so hateful. They actually moved your concubine like you, lord, to business and obtain benefits."
