Section 110 Tea Party
The tea time after dinner has always been a good opportunity to discuss matters. At this time, Viscount Moncati was no longer wasted. In the afternoon, he received a notice from his niece and then crawled to the Jiedushi's Mansion. Unfortunately, he let himself talk to the diplomatic officials stationed in Qingyang, and the guards did not allow him to go in. In the eyes of the diplomatic officials stationed in Qingyang, this was a rare opportunity. The Jiedushi never invited outsiders to visit his residence. Foreign affairs were generally handled by Su Qin and Wang Liao, who were specifically responsible for foreign work. It was difficult for ordinary people to see these two, let alone the Jiedushi.
Viscount Moncati decided to stay at the door, but fortunately his niece appeared in time that he did not stay outside the door for too long. However, even though he entered the Jieduan Mansion, Wufeng, who was in a state of fun with his classmates, had already ordered his servants to refuse anyone's request for advice, which forced Viscount Moncati to wait for an afternoon in the beautiful reception room of the Jieduan Mansion.
Now he can no longer lose this opportunity. Perhaps after today, he will never have the chance to enter here to meet the Lord of the Northwest King.
"Duke, your herbal tea here is very good." Even Viscount Moncati felt a little blushed, but for the sake of serious business, it is understandable to say some nonsense that is not against your will.
"Well, I don't like black tea very much. I prefer a light drink that can enjoy the mellow floral flavor. Rosemary is very suitable for me. Does Viscount need a cup?" Wufeng's face always had a gentle look, which made Viscount Moncati feel much more relaxed.
"No, thank you, I prefer black tea, especially this kind of black tea with a lemon flavor, which tastes great." Viscount Montcatti politely picked up the cup and signaled.
"Haha, then you can do whatever you want." Wufeng also smiled and nodded in return.
"Duke, I want to ask a question with ease, I wonder if it is possible?" After some greetings, Viscount Moncati slowly turned the topic to the point.
"Oh, please." Wufeng seemed to have understood the other party's implication for a long time, raised his eyebrows and replied calmly.
"This time, your army has achieved a decisive victory in the Dongtengri Grassland. It seems that the Dongtengri Grassland should be quiet for a while, right?" Wufeng couldn't figure out the other party's purpose for a while.
"Well, there should be no problem, but it depends on Luo Beiren's sincerity. I don't like fighting, but I'm not afraid of fighting. What is the purpose of fighting? It's just for my own territory to be harmed. However, Luo Beiren's hands are too long, so I have to teach them a lesson, hoping that they can have a longer memory this time." Wufeng's words were full of confidence, and Viscount Moncati was also shocked.
"But did you notice that the Chidi people also launched an attack on the Luobei people in the west. If the Chidi people defeated the Luobei people, the Luobei people's territory would all fall into the clutches of the Chidi people, and it would not seem to be of any benefit to the northwest."
"It's not surprising that Luo Bei people made enemies from all sides. They asked themselves to do so. The Chidi people deserved to teach them a lesson." Wu Feng replied lightly.
"But have you ever thought about it. The Chidi people's ambitions may be greater than those of Luobei. Once they win the entire Tenggeri grassland, I am afraid that the neighbors around us will be in peace." Viscount Moncadill was a little anxious. If the person in front of me insisted on his own and wanted to kill Luobei, I am afraid that the alliance would suffer greater fraud from the Chidi people who had no opponents in the future.
"Mr. Moncati, what do you want to express?" Wufeng looked at the somewhat uneasy diplomat Defien with a smile. "The Chidi people did not threaten me at least for the time being. Luo Beiren is not as weak as you imagined. The two strong have been fighting for hundreds of years. I have not seen the Chidi people gain much advantage in the battle against Luo Beiren. You are a little worried."
"No, Master Jiedu, this time is different. You have already caused the Luo Beiren to the east. In two years, Luo Beiren's expedition to the east suffered too much loss, and it will not be able to return to its peak in three to five years. This will inevitably affect the Luo Beiren's deployment in the west. Once the Luo Beiren's power in the west becomes weak, I am afraid that the Chi Di people will have great power and will no longer be able to curb it." The silver-haired head was already a little sweaty. Although the tea room was very cool, Viscount Moncati still felt a feeling of burning fire all over his body.
He smiled gently, and it turned out to be so. This guy originally wanted to persuade himself to relax his suppression and weakening of Luobei people, so as not to take advantage of the situation and pose a greater threat to them. Wufeng pretended to be incomprehensible and asked: "It doesn't matter, the Chidi people are brave and warlike. I have long hoped to hunt with them. If we are a Tanghe people, the combat power of our Tanghe people is stronger or the martial arts of their Chidi people are higher. However, Muluwa once sent someone to contact me, hoping to work hand in hand with me, maintain friendly relations, and jointly fight our common enemy - Luobei people. I think they will not consider our place for the time being."
Viscount Moncadill only realized that the Chidi people had already extended their claws to the east, but they did not expect that these nomadic barbarians knew how to use diplomatic means to achieve their attempts. If this was the case, the Luo Beiren would be in danger, and the Hansen alliance would be in danger.
"Mr. Jiedu, you need to look at it for a long time. The Chidi people have the heart of being a horned man, and their threat is far better than Luo Beiren. Once they get power, they are afraid that they will regret it too late." Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Viscount Moncati could only sit patiently and persuade them to work. I added black tea several times and added lemon countless times. Until my stomach was swollen, Viscount Moncati realized that the Jidu was far from speaking as he thought. Although his attitude was very kind, he had no intention of changing his position, which disappointed him.
"It's interesting that Viscount Moncati spared no effort to lobby me not to oversuppress Luo Beiren, give Luo Beiren some space so that Luo Beiren can hold the Chi Di people. It seems that the Chi Di people have caused a lot of trouble to the Hansen Alliance in the west." Wufeng's finger was flexibly rotating, while he was enthusiastic about asking the three of them to taste Charlotte's craftsmanship - Western milk tea. Judging from the expressions of the three, Ling Tianfang, who was born in the Central Mainland, obviously liked this style of milk tea very much, while Xiao Su, who was born in the Tanghe mainland, was obviously not suitable for this rich black tea with milk aroma.
"I said Xiao Tang and Su Qin, you also need to adapt to a variety of styles of diet. If you two are sent to the Western Continent one day, if you really can't adapt to the local diet, wouldn't you starve to death?" Wu Feng saw the two of them frowned and quipped with a smile, "That's so interesting. He really became the first visiting envoy in the world to starve to death, haha!"
This is a small courtyard with a tree-shaded land in the Jiedu Mansion. Various vine plants cover the entire courtyard tightly along the woven wooden strips. The drooping branches around are swaying with the breeze. It is really a good place to relax. Wufeng mostly chooses here for afternoon tea time, but there are only a few people who can enter this courtyard to enjoy Charlotte's craftsmanship, and three of them are among them.
"Sir, this is understandable. According to the information, the war between the Chidi people and the Luobei people has almost never achieved much satisfactory results. Even if they win a battle, it is difficult to obtain the materials and money they need. Unlike the Luobei people, they can now obtain a lot of tax funds through the gradually developed commercial and transit trade routes. The caravans passing through the northern business road usually go south to enter the Indian and Germans before passing the Luobei people. The customs and habits of the Chidi people are worse than those of the Luobei people, and burning, killing, looting is common, and the caravans do not have any
Security guarantees, so no one dares to enter. And the more this happens, the more the Chidi people are unable to obtain necessary materials, and they can only denounce them and obtain force. The more this makes merchants everywhere more afraid and dare not go to their territory. This creates a cycle of evil deeds, which creates an almost uninterrupted war in the northern countries of the Western Continent almost every year." Su Qin obviously studied the situation in the Western Continent. As a professional diplomat, he not only had to care about the changes in the situation around the northwest, but even the forces thousands of miles away were the objects of his research and analysis.
"However, Mr. Montcati's suggestion seems to be in line with your original intention. Don't you also advocate weakening Luo Beiren? Why not make a favor?" Xiao Tang was a little puzzled.
"No hurry, I'll take them to visit the construction and economic development of the northwest first. When they come back, I think our Viscount Montcati will come to me. If he can give us some small price to the northwest on behalf of the Hansen Alliance, I think some "concessions" are not impossible." Wufeng smiled and picked up the teacup to signal to the three of them, "Come on, try it, don't let Charlotte down Charlotte's kindness, otherwise the next time, it will be really difficult for you two to taste the authentic craftsmanship of our Miss Charlotte."
Xiao Su and the other two frowned and took a sip of milk tea, then put it down again. Ling Tian put it down and held the teacup and savored it carefully. The look of enjoyment appeared on his face, which made Xiao Su and the other two shook their heads.
"All right, Brother Ling, Miss Charlotte is not here at this time. Don't make any disgusting things here, just because Miss Charlotte doesn't let you in next time, and you won't flatter you like this." Su Qin sharp-tongued and teased the other party without hesitation.
