With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Old Li handed the milk tea to Princess Mingyue respectfully.

Princess Mingyue took the milk tea and couldn't wait to take a sip.

His eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed:

"It's truly a delicacy! It's much better than the kumis from our Beixiang Kingdom!"

Lu Yan felt proud.

This is a modification he made based on the modern milk tea recipe, so of course it tastes good!

"Lord Lu, what do you use to make this milk tea? Can you teach me?"

Princess Mingyue asked expectantly.

Lu Yan smiled mysteriously and said:

"This is a secret recipe, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

"mean!"

She drank the milk tea in one gulp and licked her lips with satisfaction.

"Master Lu, I want more!"

Lu Yan shook his head helplessly. This princess is really a foodie.

However, he was happy to let her have a few more drinks.

After all, this milk tea is also one of his magic weapons to make money.

"Lord Lu, I heard that you defeated the barbarians some time ago. You are truly amazing!"

"I have always been interested in military affairs. I wonder if Lord Lu could give me some advice?"

Lu Yan laughed in his heart, this princess is really whimsical.

How can a little girl know anything about military affairs?

However, he changed his mind.

Perhaps we can take this opportunity to test the strength of Beixiang State.

"Your Highness, I am so flattered. I only know a little bit about it."

Lu Yan said modestly.

"However, since Her Royal Highness is interested, I can talk to Her Royal Highness."

So, Lu Yan began to explain some military strategies to Princess Mingyue.

He deliberately made his statements vague and half-truthful.

This would allow Princess Mingyue to listen with great interest without revealing too many real military secrets.

Princess Mingyue was fascinated by what she heard and exclaimed "Oh oh" from time to time.

She originally thought that Lu Yan was just a civil servant who was only good at governing the local area.

I didn't expect that he was so proficient in military affairs.

It seems that the Datong Dynasty is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

Princess Mingyue put down the empty milk tea cup in her hand.

He licked his lips with satisfaction and rolled his eyes.

Suddenly he put on a serious expression.

"By the way, Lord Lu, I came to Shannan County this time because my father has something to ask of you."

Lu Yan sneered in his heart, the little girl finally showed her true colors.

I've been chatting with you for a long time, talking about milk tea and military strategy. It turns out you were waiting for me here.

He pretended not to know and raised his eyebrows:

"Oh? I wonder what the King of Beixiang wants?"

"My father asked me to ask you, can you...can you not attack the barbarians?"

Princess Mingyue carefully observed Lu Yan's expression and added.

"We, Beixiang State, are willing to establish everlasting friendship with Shannan County and the Datong Dynasty."

Lu Yan cursed in his heart: You actually want to incite me to rebel!

He remained expressionless and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

After taking a sip, he slowly said

"Your Highness, these barbarians have repeatedly invaded our borders, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil."

"As the head of Shannan County, how can I sit back and do nothing?

Princess Mingyue was anxious when she heard this.

"But...but swords have no eyes, what if..."

"What if?" Lu Yan looked at her with a smile.

"What if...what if innocent people are hurt?"

Princess Mingyue's voice became smaller and smaller.

Lu Yan put down the teacup and said firmly:

"Don't worry, Princess. I know what to do."

"Barbarian, I'm determined! Even Jesus can't stop him! I say so!"

Princess Mingyue was stunned and asked in confusion:

"Jesus? Who is Jesus?"

Lu Yan's face turned red, like a monkey's butt, and he screamed in his heart:

Ahhh! My mouth! Why is it bald again?

He quickly coughed dryly, trying to save face:

"Well... that doesn't count!"

"What I mean is, I'm determined to defeat these little Karamis of the Barbarians! No one can stop me!"

"Shannan County will not only beat them to a pulp, but also wipe out their lair!"

"We also need to build a branch of Shannan County right on top of their old nest."

Princess Mingyue opened her mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

She originally thought that Lu Yan would consider the face of Beixiang Kingdom and restrain himself a little.

I didn't expect him to be so tough and leave no wiggle room for his father.

This...this is too arrogant!

Lu Yan looked at Princess Mingyue's stunned expression and felt secretly happy.

Hey, little guy, you want to play with me?

He cleared his throat and continued:

"Your Highness, I know you mean well,"

“But between nations, there are only eternal interests, not eternal friends.”

"The Beixiang Kingdom wants to establish friendly relations with our Datong Dynasty, and this official naturally welcomes it."

"But if you want to use the barbarians as a bargaining chip to threaten me, I cannot agree to it."

Princess Mingyue bit her lip, feeling somewhat dissatisfied but not knowing how to refute.

She grew up in the palace, dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and was treated like a star. How could she have ever suffered such humiliation?

"Lord Lu, you...you are not respecting my father!"

Princess Mingyue said angrily.

Lu Yan smiled slightly:

"Your Highness, your words are too kind. I am merely addressing the matter at hand."

"If the King of Beixiang really wants to be on good terms with my Datong Dynasty, he might as well show some sincerity."

"What sincerity?" asked Princess Mingyue.

Lu Yan smiled mysteriously:

"Well... let me take my time to think about this."

He paused and added.

"However, if Your Highness the Princess could do me a small favor, perhaps I would consider it."

When Princess Mingyue heard this, she immediately became energetic:

"What help? As long as I can help, I will do my best!"

Lu Yan leaned close to Princess Mingyue's ear and whispered

"I heard that Beixiang Country has a special spice called 'Ambergris'. I wonder if Your Highness can..."

Princess Mingyue's face instantly turned red. She pushed Lu Yan away and said angrily

"You...you are shameless!"

Lu Yan laughed out loud. This little princess is really shy.

It seems that the days ahead will not be too boring.

Princess Mingyue snorted softly and rolled her eyes.

As if he had thought of something, he immediately put on a smiling face:

"Master Lu, your milk tea tastes delicious. This princess really likes it. Could you tell me the recipe?"

"So that this princess can enjoy it often after returning home."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows. Hey, this little girl, even the Sichuan Opera face-changing is not as fast as hers!

He pinched his chin and pretended to think for a while, then said slowly,

"As for the secret recipe, it's a trade secret passed down through eighteen generations of our family. It must not be leaked! But..."

He deliberately dragged out the word "but".

Princess Mingyue immediately pricked up her ears like a puppy.

She stared at him eagerly, almost wagging her tail.

Lu Yan raised his lips to a wicked smile:

"If Your Highness wants to drink, how about becoming an agent for our Beixiang Kingdom?"

"Not only can I drink it every day, but I can also make a lot of money. Isn't that wonderful?"
