Chapter 514 Do You Approve? (1)
Gong Yimo glanced at Gong Jue and smiled. “Yes, it’s quite an unreasonable demand.”
As soon as she said that, both the minister and the emperor stared at her, seemingly unbelieving that she would speak for an outsider.
The King of Louye smiled. “The princess is sensible.”
So is he saying that the others are not sensible?
Gong Yimo rubbed her chin and said frankly, “Both countries are supposed to be equal, I am only standing up for justice, not for my people!”
As soon as her words came out, many people sucked in their breaths and showed looks of disapproval. The emperor was even frowning, not knowing what Gong Yimo was trying to peddle.
At this moment, she winked at Longcheng Wuji. “Does the King of Louye approve of my words?”
Longcheng Wuji thought carefully. Seemingly finding no faults with it, he nodded. “Of course.”
Hearing that, Gong Yimo grinned. “The King of Louye is generous as expected. Let us put this cooperation aside and let’s talk about...The war horses. I wonder how much your country is willing to export per year?”
“Warhorses?” Longcheng Wuji’s face sank. “I do not understand what this princess means? Louye’s warhorses are no commodities, this is the iron law of Louye in all its dynasties!”
Gong Yimo finally showed her fangs and quickly retorted, “So to say, the King of Louye speaks for a fair cooperation but means to his cards in the end?”
Longcheng Wuji’s face turned ugly in an instant!
The words have already been spoken and it would be humiliating to change his tone. So, pondering over excuses, he said.
“This princess must understand, in addition to the iron law set by my ancestors, Louye has suffered a plague last year and all the horse farms have been affected. With Louye’s own stock in short demand, we are helpless in this matter.”
Gong Yimo raised her brows. “Is that so?” She stroked her brow with a dainty finger. “But...This princess has heard that the Huazhou family has recovered its vitality, has it not?”
Longcheng Wuji gritted his teeth. He could only wish to strangle that Huazhou Wuyou to death!
“Absolutely no such thing! Please do not believe in such baseless rumors, Princess.”
Gong Yimo laughed. Whether it is baseless or not, this princess does not know. However, I have heard place that Louye intends to open up a passage for horses to pass with Yuheng! Clearly, the King of Louye has humbled himself. You still have many horses, otherwise, how could you afford to open up this passage?
To think she would even know of this matter!
Longcheng Wuji was a little surprised and believed that it must have been Huazhou Wuyou who had tipped her off! Otherwise, Gong Yimo would not have known such secret news!
With that thought, he was even more upset with Huazhou Wuyou! But his dissatisfactions will do him no good at this moment. He was really in a difficult spot!
But if he said that her information was false and the passage really opened in the future, would he not be slapping his own mouth?
He has to think long and hard about this matter!
But Gong Yimo would not even give him a chance to calm himself. She walked towards him and probed on.
“As for the ancestral iron low? King of Louye’s vision must also keep up with the times. The four nations are now at peace. Opening up one’s country for commerce is great news. We have already come this far, so why hold onto such old laws?
“Moreover, this princess believes you when you said you came with sincerity because this princess knows that you really brought a noble princess with you!”
Longcheng Wuji was speechless. Enduring great anger, he said, “She is not...”
“No?” Gong Yimo interrupted him. She chuckled. “King of Louye, please stop joking. You said you would marry your sister to Dayu and came with sincerity, so how could you be careless enough as to not bring one?”
She was making clear threats that if he does not open up to the sale of his horses, then she would have the ability to make Huazhou Wuyou marry to Dayu. How would he explain then when the King of Louye himself has sold off his fiancée for a deal?!
