After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 172: "Love Rival" Confrontation

Qi Wushuang scratched Ye Wuwei's nose lovingly, "I don't know where you get so many tricks from."

"If I wasn't more careful, wouldn't you have taken advantage of me?"

Although he spoke cunningly, Ye Wuwei's eyes were still pure and innocent.

Qi Wushuang loved Ye Wuwei's expression the most. He couldn't help but hug Ye Wuwei and kissed him lightly on the eye:

"It's true that I'm going to be eaten by you."

Although the injury prevented him from doing other things, kissing was not affected.

Ye Wuwei took the opportunity to put his arm around Qi Wushuang's shoulders and kissed Qi Wushuang.

……

The next day, Qi Wushuang led the army to the peace talks location agreed upon yesterday.

This time, standing at the front of the northern army were Humu Khan, the national teacher and others, but the eldest prince was still nowhere to be seen.

Qi Wushuang got off his horse and walked forward a dozen steps. Ye Wuwei and Qi Wu followed closely beside him, and Yao Guangzhi and others followed closely behind.

Humuhan, the imperial teacher and the eldest prince's uncle also dismounted and walked forward a dozen steps. Following behind them were representatives from more than a dozen tribes.

The distance between the two sides was less than five meters.

Humuhan's gaze fell on Ye Wuwei, and he concluded that Ye Wuwei was the person who pretended to be Qi Wushuang the day before.

What Humuhan didn't expect was that Ye Wuwei was so handsome.

Humuhan thought that there were very few men who could match his appearance, but he didn't expect that there was one by Qi Wushuang's side.

It seems that this person is Qi Wushuang's "new favorite".

After looking at Ye Wuwei, Humuhan turned his gaze back to Qi Wushuang: "Your Majesty, we meet again."

Qi Wushuang said calmly: "We meet again."

"I wonder what your Majesty's attitude is towards the peace talks we proposed yesterday?"

"Since you are sincere in negotiating, I naturally have no reason to object. After all, we are not the ones who have ever provoked war.

only……"

Having said this, Qi Wushuang turned his head to Ye Wuwei and said, "Wuwei, tell them."

Qi Wushuang's action focused the attention of the three people from the North on Ye Wuwei.

Humuhan looked at Ye Wuwei with a half-smile: "May I know your name?"

Ye Wuwei had just noticed that Humuhan looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and now he was even more certain that Humuhan was hostile to him.

However, Ye Wuwei was not sure what caused this hostility.

Ye Wuwei said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"I am Ye Wuwei, the counselor of the Qi Dynasty, in charge of all matters related to the peace talks with the North."

"Did you participate in the peace talks this time?"

"That's not the case. I'm just your Majesty's spokesperson. The Qi Dynasty has someone in charge of the specific peace talks."

Qi Wushuang said:

"Captain Ye's words are what I mean. He can represent me."

Ye Wuwei smoothly took over Qi Wushuang's words:

"Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, cannot personally go to the battlefield to negotiate with you. I am enough."

With Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei singing the same tune, Humuhan could no longer say anything against it.

Ye Wuwei continued:

"Since you are sincere in the negotiations, then show your sincerity and don't mention the conditions the eldest prince mentioned the other day."

The eldest prince's uncle: "Was that you the one from the day before yesterday?"

"Yes, it's me."

The eldest prince's uncle was about to say something else, but Ye Wuwei interrupted him: "Let's talk business first."

Humuhan then said:

"The fundamental reason why the North mobilized its troops to march south is because it lacks food. Therefore, the Qi Dynasty needs to open up food trade to the North."

"That's no problem. As long as the North pays the normal price, Qi Dynasty can sell a certain amount of grain to the North.

However, the peace talks should be mutually beneficial for both parties. What benefits can Qi Dynasty gain from the Northland? "

"I wonder what Qi Chao wants?"

"One of them is the horses from the North. We also want the mining rights to two other mineral resources from the North."

Humuhan's heart trembled:

Although he knew that there were coal mines in the north and was prepared to jointly mine the coal mines with Qi Dynasty, how did the person in front of him know this?

And he was talking about the mining rights of two mineral resources.

What else besides coal?

Humuhan did not ask Ye Wuwei directly, but adopted a roundabout tactic:

"The North wants Qi Chao's grain, and Qi Chao wants the North's horses. These are already equal conditions. As for the mining rights of mineral resources, Qi Chao needs to exchange them for other conditions."

“No, you are wrong.

The North's demand for Qi Dynasty's grain and Qi Dynasty's demand for the North's horses are not equivalent. Because the North cannot do without Qi Dynasty's grain, but Qi Dynasty does not necessarily need the North's horses.

Don't forget:

Qi Chao has his own horse farm in Yingdu, and Qi Chao purchased the northern horses just for improvement."

Although what Ye Wuwei said made sense, Humuhan was not led astray by Ye Wuwei.

"No matter how much you deny it, in my opinion, this is an equal exchange. If Qi Chao wants the mining rights of mineral resources, then he needs to exchange it with other conditions."

Ye Wuwei thought:

Humuhan is more difficult to deal with than Master Zhuang and the others, so it is indeed a good idea to let Chen Shusheng negotiate with him.

"According to what the Third Prince said, the number of horses the Qi Dynasty needs each year is extremely limited, and the amount of food that can be supplied to the North is also limited. I wonder which tribe will be satisfied first?

Is it the Third Prince's Tiemu tribe or some other tribe?"

Ye Wuyi's words successfully stirred up unrest among the other tribes in the north, and some tribal representatives spoke out:

"Since Qi Dynasty supplies food to the North, our tribe also needs it."

Humuhan criticized Ye Wuwei in his heart: This Ye Wuwei is too cunning and knows how to stir up conflicts among the tribes in the north.

A tribal representative also spoke out:

"Third Prince, didn't you say before that you could cooperate with Qi Dynasty to mine coal in exchange for other resources? Why don't you agree now?"

Humuhan cursed this man as a fool in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. He looked at Ye Wuwei and said:

"If the Qi Dynasty wants the mining rights to mineral resources, it needs to fully open up trade with the North."

"Fully opening up trade is impossible in any dynasty or era, as there will always be some restricted goods that cannot be exported.

However, opening up trade with the North is what Qi Chao wishes.

As for which products cannot be sold, we need to sit down and discuss them slowly. It won’t be settled in a day or two.”

"What does Commander Yiye mean?"

"If the North is truly sincere in its peace talks, why don't the Third Prince and the other representatives come with us to Andu?

After arriving in Andu, both sides will sit down and talk slowly and in detail."

"Why do we have to go to Andu?"

“Because Andu is prosperous, and since the two sides are no longer at war, there’s no need to stay in Mo Nan, a place with inconvenient living conditions.

Doesn't the Third Prince want to see the prosperity and bustle of Andu?"

The real reason was naturally that Humuhan was detained in Andu. In addition, the chief negotiator Chen Shusheng had to preside over the scientific expedition in Andu and it was inconvenient for him to come to Monan.

Seeing that Humuhan did not agree, Ye Wuwei provoked him again:

"Third Prince, are you worried that we'll embarrass you if you go to Andu? You're really overthinking it.

The Qi Dynasty has always been a peace-loving country, and our Majesty is also a peace-loving person. Our goal is to stop the war.

Of course, we are not afraid of fighting, we are good at fighting!"
