Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

No one would agree to marry Mei Qian, and An Guo's attitude was very firm.

This was beyond Xirong's expectations.

"Isn't it just a woman? Why is Anguo so stingy? In my opinion, they don't even give a person. I'm afraid they will do something sneaky in the future trade!"

Some people in Xirong did not know what this "sudden idea" of Sandon was all about, but in their eyes, if the other side did not agree to this "small" proposal, how could they expect Anguo to fulfill other contracts in the future?
The content that was originally about to be negotiated became precarious again.

"Who do they think they are, Xirong? They can change their mind if they want to, and marry someone if they want to?!"

Upon learning that Xirong was actually planning to overturn everything they had discussed before, Qi Fei became furious.

"Mei Qian can't marry. If they don't want to negotiate, then let's fight. Who's afraid of who?!"

Qi Fei was furious in the tent, and Li Ye and other officials didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Princess, please don't say anything angry, but... should we tell His Majesty about this?"

The King of Xirong wants to marry Mei Qian, so this must be told to Qi Chen, right?

Even Li Ye thought so.

As an uncle, he naturally knew about Qi Chen and Mei Qian. The marriage was already on the way, but the King of Xirong intervened. Some people who didn't know the reason probably had different opinions about it.

"What do you mean? Do you think that if the emperor's uncle agrees, you won't be in trouble?"

Qi Fei immediately glared at the official who spoke, which scared the man. He quickly denied that he meant that, but he didn't know how to start explaining.

At this time, Li Ye took the initiative to help and said, "His Majesty has already asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare for his marriage to Mei Qian. We can't give the future queen away, right?"

"what?!"

The other officials were dumbfounded.

I have to say, Li Ye did a really good job of hiding it.

None of the officials traveling with him dared to say a word.

Even the official who said he would tell Qi Chen wanted to explain that if Mei Qian could really bring decades of peace to the two countries, then maybe His Majesty could do the same...

At worst, I can write a book or biography to sing praises of Mei Qian!

As a result, when the official who was about to speak heard Li Ye's words, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He almost sent himself away as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Is what the Marquis said true?"

Wen Fang was startled at first, then his brows tightened, and he said, "If Lord Mei is really the one who will be on the throne in the future, we will naturally protect Lord Mei.

But His Majesty has not issued an order yet, and we cannot directly expose this matter to the other side. This is not acceptable."

If Mei Qian's identity as the future queen mother is brought into consideration, it would be a legitimate reason to reject Xirong.

The key point is that this reason now lacks the proof of Qi Chen’s will.

Even if they said it first and Qi Chen made up for it later, it would be inconsistent. No one could say whether future generations would say there was suspicion of coercion.

No one would risk saying it directly.

Qi Fei looked coldly at the group of people who hesitated because of Mei Qian's identity. She finally couldn't help but said:

"Now that the Xirong people have retreated to the grassland, it was all because of the lives of our Anguo soldiers who fought hard with their swords and knives.

When did it become necessary to rely on women for marriage?"

As soon as Qi Fei finished speaking, everyone blushed.

"Those who don't know would think that this victory was won only by Xirong. It's not that we satisfy Xirong's needs, but that they have to accept what we give them!"

Qi Fei looked at this group of people in silence. As expected, when there was no fighting, these people's minds became twisted and twisted. Who knows what they were thinking all day long. "By the way, where is Mei Qianren?"

Qi Fei was almost confused by these people's anger. She had been thinking that if Mei Qian was here, she would probably scold these people to death again.

Mei Qian has been elusive these past two days. He did not participate in the negotiations and wandered around everywhere. No one knew what he was doing.

Thinking of this, Qi Fei went out of the tent to look for someone. When she found Mei Qian after asking along the way, she saw Mei Qian standing on the gentle hillside, closing her eyes, leisurely feeling the spring breeze, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

"I'm almost fed up with your affairs, and yet you come out to be lazy."

Mei Qian opened her eyes and heard Qi Fei's voice. She turned her head and saw Qi Fei coming over.

"Do they really want to marry me to Xirong?"

Mei Qian spoke in a brisk tone, which made Qi Fei even more furious.

"If they dare to do this, I will lead my troops to kill them all, along with the envoys from Xirong!"

After that, she reached out and poked Mei Qian's forehead again, saying, "Besides, the emperor's uncle won't agree."

"Putting aside my identity, background, and what I have done for Anguo, if I were an ordinary Anguo woman, would the envoy agree?"

Unexpectedly, Mei Qian also asked this question, so Qi Chen repeated what he had said to those people from Xirong at the beginning.

Mei Qian looked at Qi Fei standing in the sunlight, and when she finished speaking, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Then she turned her head and continued to look at the camps of Xirong and Anguo at the foot of the hill, and said:
"The Xirong people don't want to marry me, but the valuable knowledge I carry with me."

Thinking of the large number of craftsmen abducted by the Western Rong before they withdrew last year, although Mei Qian accidentally brought back some of them, she knew that there were still many more.

Many Western Rong people, including those from Xing'an Prefecture and the central region, were still abducted.

Mei Qian thinks that she doesn't have a sense of the overall situation yet, and she doesn't want to contribute to the prosperity of cultural exchanges a hundred years later.

They had fought to the death with the Xirong before, and now you say peace talks, so they negotiate. Do you still want to ask for a future?
Are you kidding me?
Unless the Western Rong surrenders, they will be directly incorporated into Anguo.

“I knew they had evil intentions.

Don't worry, I have already sent someone to tell my uncle the news here.

Also, I have already sent troops here, these Xirong people can’t just leave without signing anything.”

Hearing Qi Fei mobilizing troops, Mei Qian looked at Qi Fei, and then heard her say: "Facing the Western Rong soldiers, we must be fully prepared. What if they finally send troops?"

If it is Mei Qian's turn and they are not well prepared, won't they be at a disadvantage?
···
The information about what happened in the northern border of Anguo some time ago had already been received. The moment Qi Chen opened the letter and saw it, he almost tore the paper into pieces.

"Xirong..."

Qi Chen took a deep breath and almost chewed the word "Xirong" to pieces in his mouth.

Qi Chen called Mu Ying over and asked him to send someone to make arrangements for Mei Qian's family in Jiangnan in advance, so that they could secretly send them back to the capital when they moved south.

He wanted to issue an edict announcing his marriage to Mei Qian, and make it known to the whole world.

In this way, Mei Qian's news will definitely be turned upside down by someone with ulterior motives. By then, the Mei family is far away in Jiangnan, and it would be bad if some forces in Jiangnan knew about it.

When Mu Ying heard the news, he looked at Qi Chen in surprise. Qi Chen was not annoyed and asked, "Do you think I am too impatient?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

"If I don't act quickly, I'm afraid my queen will really be gone."

Qi Chen put his hands behind his back. Whenever he thought about Xirong asking to marry Mei Qian, he felt angry and sad.

How he wanted to run to the north regardless of everything and have a good fight with the Western Rong envoys!
However, all Qi Chen could do was to deal with the affairs of Jiangnan thoroughly.

As for the north, since he has given full authority over the affairs there to Qi Fei and Mei Qian, he must have confidence in them and in everyone who goes to the north... (End of this chapter)
