My wife is number one in the world

"Oh? You reached an agreement privately?"

"That is exactly what happened, Your Majesty."

Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly, nodded, then ate a grape with a raised brow.

"Dingbang, tell me quickly what kind of agreement you have reached with the King of Persia."

Duan Dingbang heard this and responded loudly without hesitation: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, we had a private agreement with the King of Persia.

The content of this agreement is that while our Dalong Second Route Western Expedition Army is stationed in Persia, we will do our utmost to help him resist all invading enemies from the various countries around Persia.

Later, when I told you the content of this agreement, the Persian King Alcesikedes did not agree to your request to station troops there at first.

Therefore, after a general discussion, we had no choice but to propose to him the second plan that had been prepared long ago.

That is, after Persia has gradually rectified its people's livelihood and administration from this rebellion, and has almost recovered its national strength.

At that time, if the Persian King Arthas Kedeling wants to expand his territory, we will discuss the specific situation and try our best to help him.

However, no matter whether it is the first one which is to help him resist all invading enemies, or the second one which is to lend him a helping hand as much as possible.

During this period, all food and fodder consumption of our Dalong soldiers must be provided by the Persian court.

When we told the Persian king about the second agreement, we could see from the change in his expression that he was moved on the spot.

However, the Persian king pretended to be calm and told his subjects that the matter of stationing troops was too important and he needed to consider it carefully.

When Duan Dingbang said this with a smile on his face, he picked up the wine glass on the table in front of him and took a sip of the wine to moisten his slightly dry throat.

"From the change in his expression, we can tell that he has been moved, so naturally we won't say anything more.

Afterwards, after we casually discussed some unimportant matters, we took the initiative to leave.

Two days later, the King of Persia sent someone to invite me and others to visit his palace.

Finally, I and the King of Persia reached the agreement I just mentioned.

Your Majesty, this is the general situation. I have finished speaking."

After listening to Duan Dingbang's eloquent narration, Young Master Liu smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded with an understanding look.

After listening to Duan Dingbang's explanation, the other people present nodded one by one with a look of understanding.

With Duan Dingbang's narration, they finally understood why the king of Persia agreed to allow Duan Dingbang and his men to station troops within the Persian territory.

Young Master Liu picked up a grape with his fingers and slowly put it into his mouth, then turned his head with a slightly raised brow and looked at the huge map on the side.

Sure enough, the situation of Duan Dingbang and his men stationing troops in Persia was just as he had thought last night.

The fundamental reason lies in the several kingdoms, large and small, surrounding Persia that are eyeing it covetously.

Young Master Liu stared at the map thoughtfully in silence for a moment, then turned and looked at Duan Dingbang with a faint smile.

"Dingbang, how old is the Persian king, Alces Kedelyn?"

"Your Majesty, judging from his appearance, he is about thirty years old, but I don't know his exact age." "Around thirty years old?"

"Your Majesty, that's right."

Young Master Liu frowned slightly and closed the jade fan with a pattern of vast rivers and mountains in his hand, then he gently tapped it in his palm with the fan ribs.

  "Dingbang, you went on this expedition to help the King of Persia quell the rebellion, and you stayed in Persia for quite a while!

During this time, have you not sent anyone to carefully investigate the Persian royal family and some of the situations in the Persian court?"

Seeing Young Master Liu's frowning expression, Duan Dingbang's heart tightened and he quickly punched Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, during the time we were in Persia, we sent people to secretly investigate this situation more than once.

It’s a pity that because I and my soldiers have just arrived, no one in the entire army can understand the Persian language.

We sent out more than a dozen waves of experts to secretly investigate this matter, but in the end they all returned empty-handed due to problems with the language.

As for the translators we have found, they are all just ordinary people. Apart from helping us translate some words, they can't help us with other issues at all."

While Duan Dingbang was speaking, he hugged Young Master Liu again with a slightly helpless look on his face.

"Your Majesty, it is not that we are incompetent and have not considered this aspect of the problem. It is really that we have the will but not the ability!"

Young Master Liu listened to Duan Dingbang's helpless answer and saw the helpless look on his face, and his slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

"Dingbang, don't be nervous. I was the young master who didn't consider this issue for a while."

"Your Majesty is wise, thank you for your understanding."

Young Master Liu nodded with a smile, then turned his gaze to Zhang Kuang while eating grapes and smiling faintly.

"Uncle, do you know something about the specific situation in Persia?"

When Zhang Kuang heard Young Master Liu's question, he immediately nodded happily.

“Your Majesty, I am King Alces Kedelyn of Persia, the 11th King of the House of Alces.

He is thirty-three years old this year, has a very stable personality, and is ambitious.

He has been on the throne of Persia for seven years since he inherited it.

After he inherited the throne, he had one queen and married fifteen concubines.

The queen gave birth to two sons and two daughters for him, and the other fifteen concubines gave birth to nine sons and seven daughters for him.

What I have said are just some general situations. The specific details are all kept in my study.

As for the contents concerning the Persian court, there are so many that I cannot write them all down. The specific details are also kept in my study.

Your Majesty, if you need to review it now, I will send someone to the study to get the information."

After listening to Zhang Kuang's answer, Young Master Liu pondered for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand.

"I don't need it now. Uncle, please have someone deliver it to me before the sun sets!" (End of this chapter)
