Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Although there was no way to find a living person for the experiment, with the confirmation of the master Li Qing, Chen Lang believed that the effect of this bottle of "anti-wolf spray" was absolutely beyond doubt.

"Sister Qing, this is for you. Use it for self-defense." Chen Lang said.

Li Qing was a little surprised: "You made this for me?"

Chen Lang said: "Not entirely."

"Ling Zhen's son, Ling Gaoyuan, is still alive. I've always felt uneasy. I always feel like he'll do something strange."

"I'm not a master like Sister Qing, and I don't have enough time to learn martial arts, so I can only think of other ways to protect myself."

Li Qing suddenly realized, "No wonder you're pestering me to learn martial arts. This is the root of the problem."

"In that case, I can't have this thing. It's more important to you."

Chen Lang handed the bottle to Li Qing and said, "Sister Qing, the difficulty of this thing lies in the technology. As long as you master the relevant technology, it will not be difficult to make it, and the price is also very low."

Li Qing looked at the spray tube in her hand, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Okay, then I'll take it."

Chen Lang grinned and said, "Sister, you are still so polite to me."

"I'll make ten or so later, and you can take them all with you when you leave."

Li Qing was stunned: "Why do you do so much?"

Chen Lang explained, "Because this spring wears out quickly, there's a chance it won't spring back up when you press it. It's best to carry a few extra with you just in case."

Li Qing said, "I see. You've thought it through."

"Okay, put all this away and start practicing."

"Before I leave, I'll give you some more pointers."

Chen Lang nodded, sat down cross-legged, and began to breathe and circulate his energy according to the method in the mnemonics.

……

Capital city, Duke Zhao’s mansion.

Duke Zhangsun Kong of Zhao was handling government affairs in his study.

A few months ago, when Xiao Yu just returned to the cabinet, Changsun Kong claimed to be ill and was unwilling to go to court. The emperor took advantage of the situation and kept him in the Duke's Mansion.

At that time, his colleagues in the cabinet did not understand why Chang Sunkong claimed to be ill. As a literary giant and leader of the Shilin Party, Xiao Yu's return to the cabinet was obviously a good thing, so why did Chang Sunkong show such resistance?

But after Xiao Yu took charge of the cabinet, his colleagues gradually understood why Changsun Kong refused to attend court.

Because Xiao Yu betrayed the Shilin Party!

Xiao Yu is trying his best to protect the interests of the Shang Party!

This was obviously a deal between Xiao Yu and the emperor. Otherwise, Xiao Yu would not have been able to return to the cabinet.

Cabinet colleagues took turns visiting the mansion, hoping that Changsun Kong could come out to take charge of the situation and not hand over the fruits of victory to Xiao Yu.

At that time, Changsun Kong said that it was not the right time yet.

Not long after, the emperor launched a war against Western Xia and soon won a great victory.

This was a victory achieved purely by crushing the enemy with equipment. The war horses and armor and weapons of the soldiers of the Great Yan Dynasty were all stronger than those of the Western Xia. Even though the individual combat capability was not as good as that of the other side, with the equipment and the number of troops several times that of the Western Xia, the Great Yan Dynasty finally won a rare victory after more than ten years of frustration.

The remaining members of the Shang Party in the court cheered and believed that this victory was closely related to them.

However, before they could celebrate for too long, the Liao Kingdom sent troops.

Although they only stationed troops on the border and did not actually move south, everyone understood that the Great Yan Dynasty did not have the ability to fight two enemies at the same time, especially the Liao Kingdom, which was a powerful enemy that had not been defeated in more than 20 years.

The profit-seeking side of the Shang Party was immediately exposed when the Liao State stationed troops on the border.

They hope that Your Majesty will withdraw his troops and spend money to beg for peace from the Liao Kingdom.

Because they had defeated the Western Xia, they had the capital to negotiate with the Western Xia. They could probably cut the annual tribute to the Western Xia by half, and even open another trading post on the border between the two countries.

Continuing to fight at this time would not only anger the Liao Kingdom, but also result in the loss of the benefits gained, which would be extremely unwise.

But these business parties will not understand the real significance of Your Majesty launching this war.

All they see is the immediate benefits, while Your Majesty sees the reputation that will be gained after his death.

The emperor summoned Changsun Kong to the cabinet again and asked him to discuss the matter with Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu was not a pure member of the Shang Party. In fact, he looked down on the Shang Party's behavior of surrendering directly when the enemy came. Therefore, in this matter, Xiao Yu stood on the same side as Changsun Kong.

After several days and nights of discussion, the two sides came up with a final plan.

The Western Xia continued to fight, and the Liao Kingdom...sent a princess.

This plan is much better than just giving money directly, at least in terms of appearance.

The emperor did not agree with this plan at first because he believed that whether sending money or people to the Liao Kingdom was equally shameful.

But Changsun Kong's argument convinced the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is a beauty plot to sow discord."

"Using a princess would not only force the Liao army to withdraw, but would also disrupt the Liao royal family and weaken their power."

"When there is civil unrest in Liao, we can take advantage of the opportunity to send troops and take back the land that belongs to us."

"And there's the possibility of bringing the princess back."

The emperor looked at Zhangsun Kong coldly: "My daughter is worth a lot of money, but she was taken advantage of by those barbarians in the north... How will she get married in the future?"

"Your Majesty, during the Han Dynasty, princesses who married into the Xiongnu were all highly regarded in history books."

"If a princess of our dynasty could really cause internal strife in Liao, her evaluation in history books would definitely not be lower than that of the princesses of the Han Dynasty."

"And there are so many men willing to be your consorts in the world, your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the princess not being able to get married."

The emperor said, "In that case, if my daughter comes back, I will let your son be the consort."

Chang Sunkong: "Ah?"

The emperor sneered, "Why? Do you despise it?"

Chang Sunkong knelt on the ground and said: "I dare not. I was too happy, so my reaction was a little slow. Your Majesty, please don't blame me."

The emperor said, "I leave this matter to you. Remember, I not only want to put an end to the civil unrest in Liao, but also want my daughter to return safely."

Chang Sunkong bowed his head and said, "This old minister obeys your order."

"Your Majesty, which princess do you want to appoint as your bride?"

The emperor was silent for a long time, then slowly uttered two words: "Yongjia."

Chang Sun Kong said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will take my leave."

In this way, Princess Yongjia, who did not marry Wei Zifan, became a princess of marriage under the promotion of Changsun Kong.

After obtaining the emperor's permission, Changsun Kong found the Liao envoy and expressed his willingness to marry the princess. The Liao side quickly responded, agreeing to the marriage and withdrawing its troops.

During the entire process, no one asked Princess Yongjia whether she was willing.

The princess seems noble, but her destiny is never in her own hands.

When Changsun Kong's youngest son, Changsun Shangwen, learned that he might have to marry a princess who had been defiled by barbarians in the future, he found his father and made a big fuss, refusing to agree to the marriage no matter what.

Chang Sunkong only told his son one sentence.

"Princess Yongjia, there's no way she'll come back alive."
