Chapter 476 Ambush
The three of them understood what she meant: "Do you want to open up trade at the border?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "The Northwest garrison is here, and they have a peaceful life. Who would want to fight and kill? I think they should think the same as us."
She then took out the map of Daxia and said, "If possible, I would like to build a Great Wall to keep all the people outside the Great Wall out and prevent them from entering."
Xiao Chiye looked at the map of Daxia she took out and said, "If you want to build the Great Wall you mentioned, it won't be completed overnight."
"I know, but someone has to do it. It's difficult, but it can also make Da Xia safer." After saying this, Xia Wanniang looked at the three people.
Qingfeng pointed the folding fan in his hand at the place outside the pass: "Then we will start construction from here. Building a city here is beneficial to us now."
Finally, the four reached a consensus to build the first city at the border and to construct a city wall, but this would have to wait until the negotiations were over three days later.
As for the matter of finding Mr. Qiu, Qingfeng would do it, and she didn't need to interfere at all.
Xia Wanniang has been spending the past three days with her children, or watching Rouyue and Zhuyao make new clothes for their unborn baby.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The tribes outside the Great Wall all sent representatives, three people from each tribe, and they took off their weapons when they entered the city.
Although they were very dissatisfied, this was Daxia's territory and they could only follow their rules.
Xia Wanniang is now the Princess Zhenguo, and her fiefdom is in the northwest. Her palace clothes have also been sent to the northwest.
Today she was wearing a red palace dress, and the headgear was given to her by Xiao Chiye. She looked noble and had the aura of a superior.
Sitting in the main seat, next to him were Xiao Chiye, Xu Li and Qingfeng, and a few children sat behind them.
The envoys from the tribes outside the Great Wall already knew who she was. They stepped forward, half-clenched their right fists, placed them on their left chests, and bowed slightly: "Greetings to the Princess of Daxia."
Xia Wanniang didn't make things difficult for them: "The envoys from all the tribes have come from afar, please take a seat."
After the envoy thanked her, he sat down and saw three wolves and three jackals sitting next to her, and a falcon and a Saker Falcon standing on the back of the chair.
They were stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Xia Wanniang touched the pale head with her fingers and said, "You envoys are not going to explain your purpose."
The envoy finally came back to his senses, but he had already started thinking about another thing: Are the wolves outside the pass related to her?
Xu Li coughed lightly and said, "Let's make it short. These are our negotiation terms. Why don't you take a look at them first?"
The envoys withdrew their gazes from Xia Wanniang and looked down at the papers in their hands, on which the conditions were written in both Daxia and foreign languages.
The three children clearly felt that the envoys' eyes changed after they saw Mohui and the others, and their momentum suddenly diminished.
But now was not the time to speak, so they didn't ask.
Xia Wanniang didn't say anything else. Instead, she teased Fu and touched Mo Mei a few times, leaving the negotiation completely to the three men.
It was as if this negotiation had nothing to do with her.
The envoys were all sweating and had to keep wiping their sweat with their clothes. They also had to rack their brains to compete with the three men in wits and courage.
The two sides reached an impasse over the terms of compensation, and neither side was willing to give in.
"We come with sincerity, but we can't do what you ask. There is a severe drought outside the pass now, and we don't know how to survive. We really have no way to take out so many cattle, sheep and horses." The envoy's attitude was very sincere.
Xia Wanniang, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up: "Just because there is no problem now doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. We can give our friends outside the Great Wall some time."
The envoy was dumbfounded and could only grit his teeth and say, "Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to give it to you, but we are afraid that we may not live to see that time, so you think you can lower the conditions a little."
Xia Wanniang leaned forward a little, her red lips curled up slightly: "Aren't you just short of food and water? Isn't that easy?"
The envoys looked at each other and almost cursed her in their hearts, "It's easy for you to say that. If it were easy, why would we have to compromise like this now?"
