"But this incident can be regarded as a reminder to Tuoba that if they really want to attack Tiansheng, it is not impossible to do such a trick again." After saying that, he walked away.

"Prince Feng has arrived." the little eunuch announced.

As soon as Tong Luofeng entered the door, he saw Tong Luoyang standing alone at the window blowing the cold wind. He must have been standing for a long time, and even his face was flushed.

Behind him was a tall man, whose face was covered and his face could not be seen, only his eyes were deep and moving.

Tong Luoyang turned around and looked at the two of them without saying anything. He was waiting for Tong Luofeng's introduction.

Tong Luofeng turned around and looked, "This is Tuoba's prince, Tuoba Qi. He just arrived tonight."

Tong Luoyang raised his eyebrows and said, "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has come all the way from afar. Please forgive me for not treating you well."

Hearing this, the man removed his veil and said, "I was negligent. I came here in a hurry and didn't report it in time. I hope your Majesty won't mind."

Tong Luoyang shook his head, "Your Highness, please take a seat. I wonder why Your Highness came all the way?"

"Of course it is for the sake of the diplomatic relations between Tuoba and Tiansheng. Now that such rumors have appeared, it is pure nonsense and will inevitably damage the relationship between the two countries. I think I have to make this trip."

"Haha, Your Highness can just fix a letter, why bother so much."

Tong Luoyang said it lightly, but that didn't mean it to Tuoba Qi. He was blaming Tuoba Qi for not handling the matter well.

He stood up, took out a roll of parchment from his arms, and saluted Tong Luoyang, "Tian Sheng Emperor, this matter is our Tuoba's fault. Regarding the ship, many things need to be considered in the long run.

To destroy the relationship between the two countries, our country is willing to submit to Tiansheng and pay tribute to Tiansheng every year to show its sincerity."

He stretched out his hand and spread out the paper. Tuoba's national seal was already stamped on it. No matter how many storms Tong Luoyang had seen, he couldn't help but look sideways, "Your Highness, does he know what the content on this paper means?"

The man pursed his lips, and there was no fear in his eyebrows, "This is the sincerity we Tuoba used to prove this matter, and we are willing to use the entire country to show our surrender. Even so, does the Heavenly Saint Emperor still doubt our sincerity?

?"

Although his words were a little rude, Tong Luoyang was not angry and just said, "Now the two countries are countries with diplomatic relations and are equal to each other. But once the provisions on this paper take effect, it will no longer be a relationship between countries with diplomatic relations.

The Ba clan has become the vassal state of my Heavenly Saint. I can't even think of such a good thing, so naturally I can't believe it."

He paused and said, "I want to ask clearly, Tuoba pays tribute to Tiansheng every year, so what does Tiansheng need to guarantee to Tuoba?" Government affairs are sometimes like doing business, mutual benefit and mutual benefit, and only then will others be with you.

When working together, if the terms of the contract are unequal, it will inevitably lead to the breakdown of the relationship.

"The Heavenly Saint Emperor is really thoughtful and has not been dazzled by such good things. Yes, I, Tuoba, am willing to surrender to the Heavenly Saint. However, I just hope that the Heavenly Saint will not do anything to Tuoba. I don't ask for anything else." See.

Looking into Tong Luoyang's eyes, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, "We don't need the Heavenly Saint to help us deal with other countries. The Tuoba people can protect themselves."

"Hahaha, the prince is so brave. He is even more courageous than I was back then. I understand Tuoba's thoughts. This contract is over, but..." He stretched out his hand and tore up the paper.

Cut it in half, "I will leave half of it for future generations. However, this piece of paper will never be stamped with the national seal of the Heavenly Saint. This can be regarded as a token of the eternal friendship between the two countries. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Prince Tuoba seemed not to have expected that Tong Luoyang would be such a person, and his eyes were full of admiration, "No wonder the Tiansheng Society has grown so strong. With such an emperor and prince, why worry about the country being uneasy and the people not being rich?"

For Tuoba, such surrender is already an insult to their entire nation, but they raised this matter in such an understatement. It doesn't matter whether they are too confident in their own strength or in the relationship between the two countries.

Whichever one it is, Tong Luoyang thinks that this Tuoba prince is somewhat interesting.

"The prince is too flattering, but I still want to know one thing." He looked at Tuoba Qi with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through his entire soul.

The night was already extremely frightening, and the guards outside the window were taking turns in twos and threes. The three of them looked at each other, and Tuoba Qi looked at Tong Luoyang, waiting for him to ask the last question.

As soon as these words are spoken, the situation in the world will be settled.

Tong Luoyang is the king of a country. Based on his observation, he will not go back on his word. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier for him to simply sign the surrender letter from Tuoba?

He was leaving a way out for Tuoba and Tian Sheng. He just hoped that he would not let tigers become a problem. Tong Luofeng was observing Tuoba Qi from behind. An hour ago, Zhao Ziyun came from the port in a dusty way, with this man behind him.

.

He said, "Your Majesty, several Tuoba ships entered the harbor just now, but what came over was not Tuoba's army, but our future king, Tuoba."

Tuoba was reckless by nature, but this prince was a person that Tong Luofeng admired. Both his magnanimity and his strategies made him curious. If war is inevitable, then this person must be a serious problem for several countries.

Tong Luoyang said word for word, "I want to know if it was His Highness the Crown Prince's idea to send ships out to sea?"

Tuoba's expression remained unchanged and his eyes did not turn, "Yes." He answered simply and concisely.

Tong Luoyang nodded, his hand still holding the half piece of parchment tightly, lowering his head and smiling slightly, "I am looking forward to the war between the two countries. I want to know what Tuoba will be like in the future under the leadership of the prince?"

"I hope you won't disappoint Your Majesty."

Tong Luoyang laughed, "The prince is indeed courageous and knowledgeable. Since Tuoba has the prince here, I don't have to worry so much. It's not rude to come and go, so I will also give the prince a small gift."

He reached out and took out the letter that Ming'er had just given him, "This is a letter from Dou Guo, but the things involved in it are related to the prince."

Tuoba Qi took the letter but did not open it. He looked at Tong Luoyang with burning eyes, his handsome features revealed in the candlelight, "If I guessed correctly, this letter should say that I, Tuoba, am plotting against the Heavenly Saint."

Only then did we bring up the issue of sea-going ships."

Tong Luoyang nodded. Long Xinyu had mentioned this before, and he had considered this possibility, but the result was ambiguous. He had to ask clearly for peace of mind. Whether it was true or false, he should have taken precautions early.

But since Tuoba Qi brought up the matter of the sea ship, it would be best to ask him.

"The situation in the world is changing all the time, but Tuoba has never thought about Tiansheng." He looked at the wind and snow outside the window, "Whether it is Tiansheng's climate or the size of the land, it is not suitable for Tuoba people.

"Residence, our country is the protective umbrella of our people. If we come forward forcefully, this protection will only break down. This is not the result we want to see. Is this answer satisfactory to the Emperor?"

"If I were not the emperor of Tiansheng, would His Highness the Crown Prince be willing to make friends with me?"

"If I were not Tuoba's crown prince, would Your Majesty still be willing to be my friend?"

Heroes always cherish each other in troubled times. The same goes for the monarchs of the two countries.

"Your Highness, how are you?" Zhao Ziyun waited at Tong Luofeng's house all night before Tuoba Qi came back from the palace.

There was a trace of fatigue on his handsome face. He rubbed his temples and said, "This matter has been resolved. You can clean up now and come back to Tuoba with me. I think there will be a war soon and you will have to go to war."

Zhao Ziyun was shocked at once, "Is His Highness really going to start a war with Tiansheng?" He spoke a little louder out of surprise, but there were no outsiders in the house at the moment, so no one heard him. However, Long Xinyu happened to come to Tong Luofeng's house.

I went to look at Long Qingshan and happened to hear the two people talking.

"Zi Yun, when will you change your reckless temper? It's not that you want to start a war with Tiansheng, but now that Tuoba's strength has accumulated to a certain extent, it's a good time to take the opportunity to expand the territory."

"But didn't His Highness say before that Tiansheng would definitely help Dou Guo, so he forbeared for many years and did not take action? Will taking action rashly now attract Tiansheng's attention? The sea route incident has just been completed, if there is another dispute at this time?"

Tuoba Qi shook his head, "Tian Sheng has the largest land area among several countries. It has a vast territory and abundant resources. All countries have to rely on Tian Sheng's supplies. Even Tuoba cannot live alone. After all, it is difficult for a country to survive by relying on nomadism.

But marching and fighting rely on military strength, not land."

"We only rob Dou's money and let them belong to us, but we don't want their land. In this way, we have reached a friendly relationship with Tiansheng without threatening his status. After all, Tiansheng will not send troops.

"

The two of them walked into the house while talking. Zhao Ziyun was a little puzzled, "But isn't it said that Princess Mingyu of the Dou Kingdom is very favored in the palace? What if she instigated it?"

"A woman is the last thing a king needs." There was a hint of coldness in his eyebrows, "Besides, this Mingyu is no longer in Tong Luoyang's eyes." If Tong Luoyang really loved her, he would not have seen him last night, let alone

I showed the letter to myself, thinking that the news that she was favored was all misinformation.

It was Tong Luoyang's play-by-play that was regarded as sincere by the world.

Hearing these words, Long Xinyu had a trace of confusion in her eyes. She did not expect that Tuoba Qi would come to Tiansheng in person, just to express his goodwill to Tiansheng? Then this sincerity was too strong.

Come to think of it, looking at his expression now, Tong Luoyang has already agreed to him.

Since ancient times, the world must be divided for a long time, and must be united for a long time. On the battlefield, there are no absolute friends and no absolute enemies. Tong Luoyang and Tuoba Qi are two extremes. Long Xinyu couldn't help but find it funny. She didn't know what kind of relationship the two of them would have in the future.

Enemy, or friend? Obviously, they are not people who will share the fruits of victory with others.

"What about us now?" Zhao Ziyun couldn't keep up with Tuoba Qi's decision.

Tuoba Qi said to him, "Prepare two fast horses and we will return to Tuoba overnight." Zhao Ziyun went after receiving the order.

A smile appeared on the corners of Long Xinyu's lips. Zhao Ziyun was very loyal. How could anyone use a general who could dispatch millions of troops to do the job of a groom. He jumped up and appeared in front of Tuoba Qi.
