Chapter 16 Conditions
"So, are you going to discuss business with Ben Khan?" Yuan Lie dusted some grass clippings on the corner of the robe, and his facial features seemed more three-dimensional in the light of the candlelight. The affectionate man just now seemed to have imagined it out of thin air.
"Ben Khan is a little strange. What capital do you have to discuss business... using your body? Sorry, Ben Khan is really not interested in what others have used." Yuan Lie's tone was undisguised mockery, and his blue eyes flashed like a hungry wolf in his deep eyes.
"In this marriage, you pay the position of the tribe's concubine, and Daliang pays the daughter of Duke Zhenguo." Yue Qiyun ignored Yuan Lie's contempt for him and started talking to himself.
"Obviously, this is not a win-win deal. On the surface, it seems that the Liang Kingdom used the marriage to get the support of the cavalry of the Flame Tribe, which seems to be conducive to the war that was about to begin with the Wuchi Kingdom. In fact, your Flame Tribe is the final winner - with the courage of the Yue family army, there is no need for the Yan Kingdom cavalry to charge in the battle. You just need to cut off the Wuchi Kingdom's food and grass supply line. Furthermore, there is little rain this spring and a severe drought in summer. If you have the food and grass stolen from the Wuchi Kingdom, this winter will be much better."
"The analysis is good!" Yuan Lie nodded in admiration, spread his hands and asked, "But what does this have to do with you? Don't forget that you are just a chess piece, and you can even become an abandoned piece at any time!"
"I'm a chess piece, but the hand that controls my chess piece is not you Yuan Lie!"
"Oh?" Yuan Lie raised his eyebrows interestingly and snorted in his nasal voice.
"I'll say it again, this is not a win-win deal! From the interests of Daliang, I have no need to be this princess of marriage. But Yuan Lie is different. By chance, you have obtained the support of the Yue Family Army - because in this world, there is only this Yue Family Army, and only this unique Yue Family Army, which is a sharp blade hanging on the heads of every tribe in the Yanbei Grassland! Therefore, the Yue Family Girl becomes the Princess of Marrying Princess, which is indeed the extra surprise you get. I'm right, Yuan Lie Khan?"
"So what?" Yuan Lie actually became proud. He raised his legs and said sarcastically: "Who made your Liang Emperor foolish? He actually replaced the useless royal princess with the daughter of the Yue family. In any case, you, Yue Qiyun, are already in the hands of my Fiery Tribe!"
He tried his best to speak in a calm tone, but his heart was filled with anger: What kind of woman is this! At this time, shouldn't she please him in every way and express her sincerity to him with all her strength?
However, she was bargaining with herself, as if she didn't care about chastity that women valued the most. This crazy woman who doesn't play according to common sense is so damnly fatal attraction!
"Well, this is really the tragedy of the Yue family!" Unexpectedly, she admitted happily, which made Yuan Lie look at Yue Qiyun even more differently.
"However, have you ever thought about it? Yue Qiyun is not a stable pawn. With the love of Duke Zhenguo for his daughter, once he knows that I am not doing well with you, will he come to help you or destroy you?" Yue Qiyun also crossed her legs, put her hands on her knees, and strode her feet while pulling her embroidered shoes.
"If the Duke Zhenguo really loves you as you said, how could he bear to marry you far away to the desolate grassland?" Yuan Lie dusted his robe and asked slowly.
"If I say I came here voluntarily, do you believe it?" Yue Qiyun's black and white phoenix eyes met Yuan Lie's burning gaze and said clearly: "Let's take a step back and say, Zhenguo Duke can bear to me this time because of his loyalty to Song Shijun. But it's different to you. Does he still have the heart to bear to bear to give up me a second time?"
"Damn it!" Yuan Lie gritted his teeth secretly. He also wanted to be nice to her, but she was so indifferent and still had no idea what to do with him. How could he feel so painful?
"I know, you regret marrying me, an unfaithful woman." Yue Qiyun shook her head and smiled with a self-deprecating smile, "But I don't care. You have already sent chastity to a man who doesn't know which woman's belly."
"Yue Qiyun!" Yuan Lie stood up unbearably and walked to her a few steps. His huge body exuded a strong murderous intent, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from his teeth: "Don't force me to hit a woman!"
Does a man say that chastity is like this? It’s simply ridiculous! He really wants to knock Yue Qiyun’s head open to see what’s inside?
"Yuan Lie, are you sure you can beat me?" Under Yuan Lie's strong pressure, Yue Qiyun raised a faint smile and pointed at her fingers and said: "Discussing business is about mind. If you say that fighting and killing is too shameless!"
The slender and lush fingers were illuminated by the red candles and turned into a transparent color. The round nails poked on the black hair, making Yuan Lie's heart sway, as if the little bits were poked on his heart, feeling pain and numbness.
"What's the fuck?" Yuan Lie was once again confused by this strange feeling. He shook his head fiercely, trying to shake this strange emotion out.
"How about we set the three principles of peaceful coexistence?" Yue Qiyun did not notice Yuan Lie's abnormality. Instead, she was complacent because she mastered the rhythm of negotiation. She first stretched out her index finger and said pretty: "First, your agreement with the Emperor Liang State is still valid, and you will get what you need."
"Second." Yue Qiyun raised a finger again, "You and I don't interfere with each other: you enjoy your childhood sweetheart and little beauty and the charm of the future, but one is - don't harass me! I just need to be the nominal concubine for a few years!"
"Third." She raised another finger, "When you unify the Yanbei grassland, I will return to Liang State. From then on, we will not owe each other, take care of each other!"
Yuan Lie's dizzy head was struck by Yue Qiyun's final "Great Return" and "Take care of each" words, and it became much clearer in an instant. When he understood Yue Qiyun's ultimate goal, he couldn't help but become furious.
"What did you say?" Yuan Lie clenched his fist and thought, and said in a cold voice: "You want me to treat your concubine, but you refuse to fulfill the responsibilities of the concubine?"
"Apart from going to bed, everything else is easy to say." Yue Qiyun didn't understand why she said it well, but why did this man suddenly get angry and continued to talk about the conditions without knowing how to do it.
