Chapter 295

Chapter 295

Seeing that the sun has already set, Yingluo ordered her maidservant to go to the marquis' residence to pass a message to Qin Xin, asking her to come to Shenhua Pavilion the next day to have a talk.

In the next few days, the story of the third princess serving her imperial mother's filial piety spread widely among the people, and this made the common people sing praises about it, this also become a good talk for the common people for a while.

On the fifth day of March, Yelu Luan once again proposed to marry the third princess, saying that after he heard the third princess's filial piety he thought she must have a high moral character and that by her marriage to the Great Yan, they would be able to forge a good relationship between two countries.

However, the emperor still did not answer, and just like before it was still for discussion.

When Gu Jing conveyed the result to Yelu Luan, the latter had an indifferent expression and didn't take it seriously, he just let out an "oh" and drank it down with a glass.

In any case, he just asked for marriage, and whether the emperor offer his daughter or not had nothing to do with him.

Gu Jing also drank half a glass of shuijiu as his eyes slightly flickered, and then said, "Does Prince Yelu have any other requests for peace talks?"

Yelu Luan put down his glass and said with a smile yet not a smile, "I said everything I should say last time... But can you guarantee that Gu Zezhi will agree?"

Yelu Luan's eyes were gloomy as he recalled Gu Zezhi's aggressive and uncompromising attitude, which made his chest burst with tightness.

Smiling faintly, Gu Jing said calmly, "Prince Yelu doesn't need to worry, the Duan Wang couple is in the middle of a divorce and soon he will lose his title. I bet he was cowering and is swamped taking care of himself."

Gu Jing has made a lot of efforts to promote peace talks between the two countries, and now the peace talks were finally coming to an end, it was only one step away...

At this time, surely Gu Zezhi was afraid it was too late for him to take the credit so how could he oppose it!

Also, Gu Jing was not afraid of Gu Zezhi stealing credit, anyway, all the civil and military ministers were watching his dedication. Gu Zezhi was leading the peace talks for months now but there was no progress at all, however, when he took over, he immediately made obvious results.

Gu Jing cupped his hand at Yelu Luan and said, "I will increase my efforts again in the matter of peace, but, Prince Yelu, you must not forget what you promised..."

He slightly narrowed his eyes making his elegant face look a little sharper.

Yelu Luan filled himself with wine, raised his glass to toast Gu Jing, and said loudly. "Of course, if I become the King of Yan, the next King of Yan would be the offspring of my own and the princess from your Daqi and we will never get to war again."

Gu Jing also held up the cup of wine in his hand and also raised it back to Yelu Luan.

"It's a deal."

Gu Jing looked up and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.

After that, Gu Jing left.

Yelu Luan played with the white porcelain wine glass leisurely and ecstatically as the amber liquid swayed gently in the glass and the aroma of the wine overflowed.

"Second prince," at this time, a middle-aged envoy with a long beard entered the private room, carefully closed the door, saluted to Yelu Luan, and asked, "Do you want to send the blueprint back to Northern Yan as soon as possible? In case it sleeps with long dreams*."

(*the metaphor is long, and things are prone to change)

"No need." Yelu Luan smiled and waved his hand. "We are in the capital of Daqi now, just under the eyes of the Daqi Emperor. We should still be cautious and not act rashly, so as not to make mistakes. Anyway, we are not in a hurry at this moment, if the Daqi Emperor finds out, it won't be good."

That's what he said, but in fact, after he got the blueprint of the compound bow, he had already memorized it completely in his mind. And as for the blueprint, he had already burned it.

Only what was kept in one's mind was the safest!

He must personally bring the blueprint of the compound bow back to the Northern Yan, and make sure that this credit must not be given to others.

This new compound bow can help their Northern Yan cavalry to a higher level, and this would surely make the surrounding countries bow down to them sooner or later.

With these thoughts, Yelu Luan's mouth curled up and his blue eyes showed ambitious ambition as his pupils seemed to be burning with fire.

Yelu Luan added, "A'suoye, after the peace talks are over, we can return home and I will hand over the blueprints personally to father."

Yelu Luan did not hide his ambition and intentions, naturally, A'suoye saw it, and performed another salute of the Northern Yan again and agreed.

For these officers, since they were sent to Daqi together with the second prince, they shared honor and disgrace, naturally the second prince would never forget them even if he has made contributions!

Yelu Luan no longer continued this topic, and turned to ask: "How is that batch of Turkic horses?"

Mentioning the Turkic horses, A'suoye's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he said in a deep voice, "I have received the letter a few days ago and everything is going well, calculating the time, those Turkic horses should have been smoothly handed over the Northern Xinjiang Army of Daqi."

"The war horses of the Daqi Northern Xinjiang Army are now ruined!"

The last two words were spoken in an icy and somber manner.

Yelu Luan sneered: "Daqi really thinks they can get our Dayan's Turkic horse. Dream on!"
