Ch.515 Do You Approve? (2)
Longcheng Wuji really wished he could block up that chattering bird mouth of hers! How is she, a woman, even more aggressive than the countless warriors on the battlefield?!
He had underestimated her too much. He always thought that Gong Jue was the one guiding Gong Yimo every step of the way, but he suddenly understood! It turns out that Gong Yimo is the real one in the lead!
He cannot leave without Huacheng Wuyou, but he also can not take back what he said. So, he will either agree to Gong Yimo’s request or Gong Jue’s request. But he was extremely reluctant to accept either!
He has lived for so long, when has he ever had to suffer a losing deal?
Seeing him sweating buckets, Gong Yimo finally relaxed her tone and said.
“If the King of Louye is sincere, then our Dayu will not be stingy either. I heard that Louye and Yuheng have yet to discuss the details of the construction of the horseway. This princess is not talented, but I have a few suggestions...It should be known that Dayu and Yuheng’s canals and sewers are of my own design. A horseway would be but a cinch...Please be decisive with your decision, King of Louye. This princess’ patience is limited and I am not a fan of petty bartering!”
These words were akin to her offering him a loquat after beating him with a slap across the face, yet it was also hidden with threats.
Yet what he mentioned were in fact things that the King of Louye urgently required! He has very much recognized Gong Yimo’s talents at this moment. After all, the effects of the sewers are bright as day. Even their Louye had begun trying it out.
Even though he was unwilling, he could only concede defeat!
Gong Yimo is too powerful. He made a single misstep and lost everything. Even if he tries to drag this on, he is afraid it will only end in the same result.
Thus, he gritted his teeth and raised his cup. “Very well! I raise my cup to our two nations—to a happy cooperation!”
Palace servants quickly came over to bring the wine. Gong Yimo held her wine cup between her dainty fingers and raised a toast to him.
“As a humble woman, this princess will not participate in the details. I believe the King of Louye knows in his heart a suitable number of war horses to export. If we may have a final, happy cooperation, this princess does not mind sending a parting gift to this king.”
Does she mean to say that if he offers too little, then she may not return Huazhou Wuyou to him if she is dissatisfied?
Huacheng Wuji gritted his teeth at her once more. If only he could send her a few whippings! Yet he could only say...
“This king...will thank you in advance!”
Gong Yimo smiled at his words, drank her wine, and smiled smugly at Gong Sheng.
Even Gong Sheng himself did not expect Gong Yimo to be so powerful! With such a powerful mind and tactics, she really does not lose to any of his sons! It is just a pity that she was born a daughter.
Things went smoothly after that, and there was nothing more Gong Yimo had to tend to. She was happy to be free.
A few days later, while sending off Louye’s party, Huacheng Wuyou followed behind the King of Louye in a very depressed manner, clearly having been scolded severely by him.
On his horse, Gong Jue sent them off to the city gates.
Longcheng Wuji was also sat on his horse and he was very disappointed when he did not see Gong Yimo.
But no matter, though he lost this time, he will definitely make it up to her!
And Gong Jue...He had also prepared a big gift for him!
“Many thanks to Dayu for the cordial hospitality. We have come in too urgent a trip and my sister has not come with us. In a few days, Louye will send great gifts along with the princess. To a happy union between two nations!”
Gong Jue looked indifferently at him. “A respectful farewell to you, King of Louye.”
“Farewell!”
Longcheng Wuji turned around indignantly and the group sped off!
He wants to know if Gong Jue can still be so generous after he finds out the full details of their deal!
