Start by saving Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang honors me as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 81 Negotiating Terms! Heading to the Mobei Royal Court!

After the bearded man left, Lin An took Xu Miaojin for a walk!

The inn here exudes the atmosphere of the Central Plains. If it weren't for the endless grassland and the herds of mooing yaks and sheep outside, he would have thought he was in the Central Plains.

The bearded man had given advance greetings, and the official in charge of the inn did not hinder Lin An's visit. Instead, he introduced everyone very politely. Perhaps because he saw that the person looked like a Central Plains man, the official also spoke in poor Central Plains dialect, but his words were a little unclear.

Lin An took a quick look, then walked in holding Xu Miaojin's hand. He shook his head and said, "The Yuan people learned the culture of the Central Plains, but they only learned the superficial aspects and didn't grasp the core! They are imitating others, which is ridiculous!"

"Ah!" Xu Miaojin looked at Lin An with a puzzled look on her face. "How did you know that?"

Lin An said, "The Yuan people wanted to pretend to be elegant, so they wrote some poems and songs and even added pictures to them. But look at the one about looking up at the bright moon and thinking of home. They actually made people lift their heads up and place them next to the bright moon!"

"Also, looking down means you're thinking about your hometown, not looking at your crotch..."

Without cultural background, but pretending to be cultured, one will always inadvertently reveal his original ugly appearance.

Da da da--

Lin An was about to say something when he suddenly heard a loud sound of footsteps. Then he saw an old man walking towards him surrounded by a crowd of people.

Lin An looked carefully and found that the man was Wang Baobao!

However, it has only been half a year since they parted in the valley, but how come Wang Baobao looks so old? Not only are his temples gray, but the wrinkles on his cheeks alone are much deeper than before.

Not only that, he even needs someone to support him when walking, and he looks very old and frail!

"Hahaha……"

Upon seeing Lin An, Wang Baobao couldn't help but burst into laughter. He walked up to Lin An, stretched out his arms, which were as old as dead branches, to embrace Lin An, and said with a smile: "It is truly an honor for us to have the presence of Marquis Taiping. It is a great honor for us to have such a great visit!"

I have to say that Wang Baobao's words were quite beautiful.

Lin An was a little overwhelmed by his excessive enthusiasm. After a long chat, Wang Baobao finally said tentatively, "My Lord, I heard from the messenger that you want to treat the Emperor of the Great Yuan?"

Lin An nodded.

Wang Baobao exclaimed in surprise, but then asked suspiciously, "Excuse me, is there anything that caused you to have this idea?"

After all, the Yuan court and the Ming court were in a situation of a fight to the death.

If Emperor Tianyuan died, the power succession within the Yuan court alone would be chaotic for a period of time, and it might also greatly weaken the strength of the Yuan army. This would be great news for the Ming Dynasty.

As a person from the Ming Dynasty, Lin An must be very happy to see this situation!

As the saying goes, when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Wang Baobao didn't dare to take any risks before he figured out the situation.

Wang Baobao was too smart. Any cheap lie would be exposed. So Lin An did not intend to hide it and said directly:

"I can save Emperor Tianyuan, but I have one condition!"

Hearing this, Wang Baobao's brows immediately relaxed.

No matter what the conditions are, he can agree to them now. You know, Emperor Tianyuan has said in person that if Lin An is willing to give up his evil ways and join the good, he is willing to rule the Yuan Dynasty with him!

He was willing to give up half of his country, let alone a mere condition.

"Alright! Marquis Taiping, please speak frankly!"

Lin An took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I hope the Northern Yuan Dynasty can send troops to declare war on Wala!"

At this point, his tone suddenly hardened and his voice became firm, "The day when the entire Wala tribe is destroyed will be the day when Emperor Tianyuan recovers!"

As Lin An finished speaking, the huge inn suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Even though the Oirat had broken away from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they all shared the same grassland bloodline. Putting aside this relationship, even if the Oirat became the enemy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they would still be more approachable to the Ming Dynasty than to the Ming Dynasty.

Even if he didn't sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, waiting to reap the benefits, and chose one side to help, it would have to be the Oirat! Instead of the Ming Dynasty, which had a deep blood feud with it!

At this moment, everyone looked at Lin An as if he was a fool!

As for Wang Baobao, his expression changed slightly, and the smile on his face froze a little. Then he sighed softly and said, "I can't make a decision on this matter. How about asking Marquis Taiping and Miss Xu to go to the royal court and discuss it with the Emperor of the Great Yuan?"

Lin An hadn't intended to negotiate so easily, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go! Oh, and give us a carriage, and put some thick blankets inside. We haven't had a good rest these past few days!"

To other people, these words sound very normal!

After all, it is a long journey from the Ming Dynasty to the grassland, so the journey is naturally tiring.

But in Xu Miaojin's eyes, there were some misunderstandings!

I didn't get enough rest... How could I not get enough rest? I didn't travel at night, so it must be...

Cough!

Xu Miaojin admitted that after tasting the beauty, her thoughts began to become impure. Her mind kept thinking back to the books her sister Xu Miaoyun had given her in the Nanjing Imperial City...

Lin An once told her that books are the ladder of people's progress. At first, she simply thought that Lin An wanted her to read more books and learn more knowledge. For this reason, she also thought that Lin An despised her for being uneducated.

Only now did she finally understand that the books she should read more were not the Four Books and Five Classics by Confucius and Mencius, but those full of poses...

Seeing Xu Miaojin's face gradually flushed, Lin An couldn't help but chuckle. While no one else was paying attention, he leaned close to Xu Miaojin's blushing ear and whispered, "Little girl, are you thinking about something wrong again?"

Xu Miaojin's eyes widened, her pretty face flushed red as if blood was about to drip out. "How could that be? I'm obviously very pure... well! My dad said that those who keep company with vermilion become red, and those who keep company with ink become black. I've really been taught bad habits by you!"

The sulking little girl with a pout was so adorable that Lin An couldn't help but move closer and give her a quick kiss.

"Brother Lin An, you are committing adultery in broad daylight!" Xu Miaojin protested, clenching her little pink fist!

The sound is a bit loud!

However, the few people walking in front seemed to have not heard it and did not react at all.

"Hahaha... I just committed adultery in broad daylight, so what! Little sister Xu Miaojin, you must remember, you are my wife!" Lin An put his arm around Xu Miaojin, saying with some pride.

Xu Miaojin snorted but did not struggle. Her pretty face was slightly red, revealing a hint of shy love!

The people walking ahead also sighed, "It's great to be young!" Some wanted to turn back, but Wang Baobao gently stopped them, "Be careful! If you see something you shouldn't, that guy will kill without blinking an eye!"

When they heard this, they thought of what the bearded captain had reported to them before, and they immediately fell silent.

No one noticed that Wang Baobao's expression looked a little unusual!

If possible, he really hopes that the royal court can send troops. If the Oirat is allowed to grow stronger, the royal court may be annexed!

The annexation of the Oirat Mongols was a normal change of regime in the grasslands, and the Yuan people would not feel sad about the death of the enemy. If it really came to that, they would probably surrender.

To put it bluntly, it is civil unrest!

It's just one person fighting against one's own people!

However, if the Ming Dynasty attacks, all Yuan people will unite against the enemy. This is an invasion by foreign enemies, and they will fight to the last soldier.

Of course, this is only what is on the surface. On a deeper level, he hates the Oirat Khan Yesüder for killing his wife.

When he reported all this to the royal court truthfully, he also expressed his opinions in a very subtle way!

……

Mobei Royal Court

Grand Tutor Hari Zhang hurried in with a letter. Passing by Man Zi, Hari Zhang glanced at him, then stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"

The barbarian threw the remaining strange-shaped herbs into the earthenware jar and added a handful of wood. When thick black smoke began to rise, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and bowed to Hari Zhang, saying:

"This is a folk remedy the imperial physician found, claiming it can alleviate your majesty's symptoms. I made this specifically to make the medicine!"

"Well... do you know those Chinese herbal medicines?" said Hari Zhang.

The barbarian shook his head.

Hari Zhang asked, "Then how do you know that these are the herbs in the prescription?"

The barbarian scratched his head and said with a smile, "I asked the imperial physician to draw it!"

Hari Zhang smiled helplessly, "These herbs have a very deep connection. You think some of them look just a little different, but their medicinal effects are completely different. One can cure a disease, while another can be harmful!"

At this point, he waved his hand and said, "Throw all these away. The miracle doctor is coming, so don't make things worse."

Then, he walked into the hall!

When the barbarian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. However, he looked at the herb again and was reluctant to give it up, so he took out a spoon and took a sip.

In an instant, a surge of drug effect came to the sky, and he fell to the ground with a bang, unconscious, with an abnormal blush on his face!
