The two of them were polite and sat at the table.

Li Ruxuan poured a cup of tea for Liu Mingqi and sighed: "I was actually very surprised to learn that Your Highness wanted to meet me, but I really wanted to meet a young hero like you, a natural saint, and a battlefield genius who was completely missed!"

"Now, Mr. Li, you have seen it, but there is nothing different from others. Are you a little disappointed?" Liu Mingqi sipped the tea in a small mouthful and said casually.

"No, no!"

Li Ruxuan shook his head, "Just the way and courage you came here today is enough to make me admire you with admiration! As the saying goes, the son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall, but you are so deep into the dragon's and tiger's den and trust me so much, which really touches and ashamed me!"

Liu Mingqi was worried that Li Ruxuan had some concerns, so she proposed to come over with only one boat and meet him at a place controlled by Li Ruxuan.

Li Ruxuan was shocked by the young man's proposal.

He knew how popular Liu Mingqi is now.

The fatal blow to the Japanese pirates alone was enough to make him famous all over the world.

Not to mention that he also visited Jinzhou City in person and firmly guarded Jinzhou City, he also gave great damage to the Wei coalition forces.

If I tied up Liu Mingqi now and sent it to Shiwei or Japan, the rewards would be more than I imagined.

Of course, Li Ruxuan couldn't betray Liu Mingqi just for the sake of rewards.

After calming down, Li Ruxuan felt deeply admired Liu Mingqi for having such courage.

Not everyone can do the courage to go to the meeting alone.

This is also an important reason that prompted Li Ruxuan to meet with Liu Mingqi.

Including Li Song just now, his respect for Liu Mingqi is also from the bottom of his heart.

In order not to let Liu Mingqi down, Li Song sent his most trusted confidant fleet to protect Liu Mingqi, fearing that if the Prince Dakang had any damage, it would be a shame for him and it was also a shame for his own life. Prince Dakang gave you the safety issues, but you failed. People like you will be looked down upon for the rest of your life!

Hearing Li Ruxuan say this, Liu Mingqi smiled slightly: "I can trust Mr. Li's character, and I think you, like me, are people who do big things! Of course, you will not stick to these small problems."

Li Ruxuan laughed silently, "Your Highness, you said that, I can't help but deny it."

That's the truth.

It is actually a very complicated and difficult thing to ask Li Ruxuan to come here and discuss things with Liu Mingqi.

Not only did Liu Mingqi need to go to the meeting alone to show his attitude, but also because once he comes, it means that he will fully demonstrate his ambitions, a loyal minister of Wei, who came to meet with His Royal Highness of Dakang. What does this mean?

If it were three months ago, Li Ruxuan would not have agreed to meet Liu Mingqi at all.

Because at that time, Dakang had experienced the attacks of the western Liaoning Corridor, the attacks of Japanese pirates invading Jiangnan, and the Western Qiang and Uighurs invading the northwest, and would definitely not recover for many years.

But three months passed, and the situation was very different from what he expected.

The first and most important thing is that the Japanese pirates were killed and abandoned their armor. Five hundred thousand people invaded Jiangnan. In the end, they were only 120,000 to 130,000, which included the group of them transported treasures and evacuated the wounded.

On the other hand, although Dakang's Jiangnan was deeply damaged, it did not hurt the root cause and could recover as before in two or three years.

Then there are the Uighurs and the Western Qiang. Although the battle was so lively, there was no substantial progress at all. Even Shaanxi could not enter, let alone the Gyeonggi area that threatened Dakang.

Begging for beauty...

Qiyan is just a joke, and she shouts the most fiercely, but she ends up being the least effective.

Nanzhao...

Nanzhao is not even as good as a joke.

In other words, Shi Wei fought smoothly.

However, after Dakang's desperate resistance, Shi Wei suffered many casualties.

According to Li Ruxuan's judgment, if Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City were captured, the deaths and injuries of General Wei should be around 300,000.

However, more than two-thirds of the troops were from the vassal tribes, and Shi Wei's core strength was not greatly lost.

So Li Ruxuan was still a little hesitant after receiving Liu Mingqi's letter.

What really prompted him to make up his mind was what Liu Mingqi said in the letter, "When the letter arrived, we had already won a great victory in Jinzhou City and would soon rescue Ningyuan City."

That's true!

Among the fleeing vassals under Jinzhou City, there were Baekje's army.

Li Ruxuan's confidant escaped from the queen and immediately passed on a letter from Feiying to him.

The Feiying sent a letter much faster than the Fei Ge sent a letter, so I received a letter from Liu Mingqi almost the night before, and Li Ruxuan learned the final result of the Battle of Jinzhou the next morning.

Such a super big reversal made Li Ruxuan admire and fear Liu Mingqi, but at the same time he made up his mind to meet Liu Mingqi.

...

The meeting between the two is definitely not nonsense.

Liu Mingqi is very busy, and Li Ruxuan is also very busy.

After a few tentative words, they discussed the important matter.

"Your Highness, our Baekje is very hard!" Li Ruxuan said with a serious face, "Baije is vast and sparsely populated, and is often summoned by Wei to fight everywhere, and he has to bear a lot of grain collection every year... Although I work hard, I can only maintain the status quo! If it weren't for your timely help this year, we would probably not be able to do it!"

Liu Mingqi smiled, "I know the situation in Baekje, and I sympathize with you too! But in the final analysis, you still have to have the belief in fighting yourself! Only when you show such determination and courage can our Dakang support you!"

Li Ruxuan said seriously: "Please believe us. We, Baekje, lack everything, but we do not lack the courage and backbone to restore our country! We must drive the Shiwei invaders out of our territory!"

The boy naturally believed in this.

The Baekje people could surrender to the Central Plains dynasty, but they ultimately looked down on the barbarians.

They long to control their own destiny.

There are definitely many people like Li Ruxuan on this peninsula.

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains that it is better to rely on yourself than rely on others." Liu Mingqi said calmly, "I think Mr. Li understands the story of Sheng Mien and fighting against Mi Qiu. Our Dakang is definitely willing to support Baekje with all his strength, but Baekje also needs to pay some things."

Li Ruxuan looked at him in surprise, with a very sad expression on his face, "Your Highness! For the Central Plains, the wealth of things and the outstanding people and the land are a place that is deeply sympathetic to God. To help us Baekje, we only need to pay a little insignificant price to allow us, those of the deceased, to be reborn! You really make us very sad when you say this!"

"Don't be sad, don't think too much. What I said is just an equivalent exchange. You even have to take advantage of it and won't suffer any losses." Liu Mingqi shook her hand, "Actually, I know that you are in trouble! But if you don't take anything back, many places in our country can't explain it. So you still need some valuable specialties, but we will definitely give you more!"

A valuable specialty?

Li Ruxuan didn't feel a little tooth pain.

Everyone knows what Baekje specialty is.

You said our specialties as "worthless" from now on. Isn't this an obvious bargaining price?

Our various animal skins, ginseng, deer antlers and other delicacies are not only very popular in Shiwei, but also in Dakang, which is also a good thing that can be sold at a high price!

Thoughts flashed by.

Liu Mingqi said it a bit too much, but Li Ruxuan had expected it.

Because before Liu Mingqi showed his talent in strategy and fighting, he was a very powerful inventor and businessman.

The products from Prince Yu’s Mansion are sold all over the world, and they are even very popular outside the domain. Liu Mingqi’s control is absolutely indispensable.

If such a smart person is talking to you about business and you think you can take a big advantage, you will be too naive and ignorant.

Li Ruxuan is both in his fifties and is no longer naive. The things he considers are always practical and down-to-earth.

So he could only say: "Your Highness, Baekje will do his best to bring out their precious specialties, just to hope that Dakang can give Baekje more support in terms of our Baekje generation learning of Central Plains culture and respecting Central Plains culture!

This is why millions of people in Baekje are very lucky and will make necessary contributions to the relief of the pressure on the rear of Dakang! Otherwise, if we are destroyed by Shi Wei in the blink of an eye, what else can we say?"

Li Ruxuan's words are both soft and hard.

On the one hand, I beg Liu Mingqi to preserve the inheritance of the Central Plains culture in order to ensure that Baekje culture is learned from the Central Plains.

On the other hand, he made it clear that after Baekje's rise, he would inevitably face a crazy attack from Shi Wei.

If you can't stop it, then everything will be stopped and you will not be able to relieve the pressure on Dakang.

Liu Mingqi agrees with his statement.

We can't just see how hateful the Goryeo people were after the Qing Dynasty. For thousands of years before the Qing Dynasty, Goryeo was my well-deserved first fan of Greater China, and it was even more fully accepted and worshipped than Japan.

If my Central Plains dynasty had been strong, then Goryeo would definitely be our most loyal little brother, no doubt about it.

Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty was not successful, and Goryeo was chosen by the United States as an agent in Asia, supporting them on a large scale and inputting them thousands of high-tech technologies, thus allowing them to develop rapidly in just 20 or 30 years, far exceeding our Central Plains.

Thus, Goryeo has such a deformed self-esteem, which denies our influence in everything and is self-intoxicated, wanting to become the only authentic descendant of Confucian culture in Asia.

Say less nonsense.

Judging from this conclusion, Liu Mingqi thinks there is no problem in cultivating a Baekje.

At least Baekje is better than Shiwei?

At least Baekje can share the pressure on part of the grassland tribe, right?

Even if it is not Shi Wei, Baekje will definitely be the first to be affected after the rise of other grassland tribes.

The development trajectories of Liao, Jin, Yuan and Qing all illustrate this very well.

Therefore, even if Li Ruxuan does not give anything, Liu Mingqi is ready to develop them into her own downline.

If Baekje people and Shiwei people fight, it is best to fight both sides, which will help Dakang's development.

Li Ruxuan didn't know what the boy was thinking, so he had already prepared to export Baekje's resources in exchange for Dakang's support.
