With his smile spreading, Qu Yuebai seemed not to mind Wu Yalei’s abrupt question.

He explained peacefully, “Please don’t worry, everybody. In our country, the criminals would never go unpunished. How would we let the guilty ones who harmed the relationship between two countries get away with it? Wouldn’t the loss outweigh the gain?”

He said that, but the precondition was that the one who should be punished must be guilty.

The simple-headed Yelü Anchen didn’t notice the hidden meaning in Qu Yuebai’s words. Hearing that, he thought this official from the Mo Country was eloquent, so he nodded. “In this case, I will leave these nobodies to you. Don’t let me down!”

Wu Yalei shouted hurriedly, “Your Highness, we can’t!”

“Shut up!” Yelü Anchen impatiently interrupted Wu Yalei and stated coldly, “I can make my decision. I don’t need a spado like you to say more.”

Yelü Anchen didn’t lower his voice and revealed in public that Wu Yalei was a eunuch, which made the latter turn pale out of anger.

Considering Yelü Anchen’s status, Wu Yalei still smiled and escorted him into the carriage, but when he turned around, there was gloom in his obscene eyes.

Qu Yuebai watched the two men all the time and showed a playful smile after seeing that, but he didn’t say anything. He rode a horse and led the way in the front.

After the envoys from the Liang Country came to the embassy, they made another scene.

Yelü Anchen looked at the big wooden house, which was different from the yurt he lived in in the Liang Country. He got angry once more.

“Is this the way you treat your guests in your country? Such a shabby wooden house is quite different from the yurt in the north. It is not windproof and can’t keep warm. Do you want me to freeze to death? And is this fussy and unpractical design engraved on the wall used to dazzle me? What’s more, you treat me with this leftover food. Do you satirize me that I have never eaten delicacy?”

The servants in the embassy led Yelü Anchen into the room and served food, but soon after he had a seat, he scolded them angrily and abusively.

They couldn’t understand. They had prepared the best food in a blue funk, and the chefs were from the imperial palace, but Yelü Anchen started to criticize even before he tasted.

All the servants looked at the crown prince Mo Junyu who sat in the host’s seat to ask for help, but he turned to Qu Yuebai. Since Mo Junyang told him to come, he should do something.

Qu Yuebai kept silent and listened when Yelü Anchen vented his anger. When the guest had nothing to say, Qu Yuebai asked calmly, “Your Highness, do you have other requirements for the embassy?”

Qu Yuebai made a good impression on Yelü Anchen. The latter didn’t rebuke Qu Yuebai with a bad attitude like before and merely expressed coldly, “Just change what I mentioned first.”

“Right! Our prince always has the best clothes, food and accommodation. If you treat him badly in small matters, we doubt your sincerity to receive the envoys.” Wu Yalei echoed and found fault, borrowing their prince’s power.

Yelü Anchen leered at Wu Yalei. Although he was dissatisfied with his subordinate who cut in without his permission, he didn’t say anything because those words expressed what he was thinking about.

Qu Yuebai seemed not to notice that the people from the Liang Country deliberately made things difficult for them. After hearing their requests, he understood soon. They wanted the Mo Country to let the prince from the Liang Country live a life like he was at home.

But where they lived was thousands of miles away from here, and their customs and habits were totally different. They had big and beautiful houses to live, and who would live in a yurt in such hot weather in July?

Did they want to roast themselves?

Qu Yuebai complained in his heart but was amazed by his master’s foresight, so he didn’t worry at all when Yelü Anchen and the others created difficulties.

After they finished speaking, he told the servants to lead the people from the Liang Country to the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, nobody knew when several nice yurts were set up. Even in Yelü Anchen’s picky eyes, he couldn’t find any fault.

Then, Qu Yuebai told somebody to bring out the food made of flour and all kinds of meat, to let Yelü Anchen live a life like he was in the Liang Country.

Under the astonished eyes of Yelü Anchen and the others, Qu Yuebai explained leisurely, “Your Highness, you are respectable, so all these are specially prepared for you. As for the guards and servants who came with you, I am afraid we have to make them suffer and live the same life as us. They have to stay in the rooms of the embassy and eat the leftover food cooked by the imperial chefs. But those are the food for the royal family in our country, and we won’t make your subordinates suffer from injustice.”

Yelü Anchen was speechless. He just found fault and intended to bring trouble on the Mo Country, seizing a chance to lose his temper in order to get more profits.

No matter how conceited Yelü Anchen was, he knew that compared with the poor Liang Country, the Mo Country was rich and peaceful. Otherwise the Liang Country wouldn’t have come to the south several times to start wars. They just wanted to rob more resources.

He wasn’t really dissatisfied with the treatment. Seeing that he would have to stay in the shabby yurt, but his servants would stay in better rooms, Yelü Anchen wouldn’t agree.

But it was him who said that he would stay in a yurt and eat the main food from the Liang Country.

He asked for it, so he would have to accept it even if he had to suffer.

Yelü Anchen was angry and turned pale. Looking at his subordinates who were happy because they could stay in nice rooms soon, he was depressed.

Even Wu Yalei couldn’t help but ask, “Then I…”

Before he started, Qu Yuebai stated with a smile, “Lord Wu, you are the second respected guest. How can we let you stay in a humble room and eat the leftover food? Rest assured, you will get the special treatment, almost the same as Prince Yelü.”

Wu Yalei couldn’t speak a word. He didn’t think he could rest assured.

Noticing that Yelü Anchen and Wu Yalei looked depressed, Qu Yuebai felt happy for a while in secret. Then he pretended to talk to himself. “But I hear that the people from the Liang Country always follow the etiquette that the guest would listen to the host. Prince Yelü, do you think so?”

Mo Junyu witnessed everything and felt joyful. When Qu Yuebai glanced at him, Mo Junyu looked at the counselor disapprovingly, rebuking him. “Mr. Qu, Prince Yelü doesn’t like to bother the ally and understands that people would do in Rome as Rome does. You did so many things in order to make him feel at home.

However, if some people who don’t know about our thoughtfulness find that Prince Yelü stays in a yurt even at the embassy, they wouldn’t think we are kind-hearted. On the contrary, they would guess that Prince Yelü is picky and spites the ally. Although you did it out of kindness, you would make him condemned by the public.”

Qu Yuebai admitted his fault in a hurry. “I was thoughtless. Please forgive me, Your Highness, Prince Yelü.”

Since they gave him a chance to change his mind, Yelü Anchen was not a fool and certainly took the opportunity. He softened his voice. “It doesn’t matter. Mr. Qu, you are kind enough. I am grateful.

But as the crown prince said, since I came to your country to celebrate your emperor’s birthday on behalf of my brother, I should listen to the host. It’s okay to stay in a room.”

It was joking. He begged his brother for three days and came to the capital city from thousands of miles away. He just wanted to enjoy the so-called luxurious noble life in the Mo Country and didn’t come to suffer.

Anybody who wanted to stay in the yurt could stay. Anyway, he wouldn’t.

However, Qu Yuebai said helplessly, “But we have prepared the yurts. If nobody would stay, we will throw them away. It will be a waste and disrespect the Liang Country.”

Yelü Anchen’s face was red because he was angry.

Mo Junyu’s face was red too because he was amused.

He didn’t expect that Mo Junyang’s assistant was so funny. He had got the upper hand, but he still pretended polite and let the other side make the decision, which made them unable to go ahead or retreat.

Fortunately, such a man was his friend, not his enemy.

Mo Junyu thought like this but didn’t show any emotion on his face. He smiled at Yelü Anchen. “Since the yurts are prepared for Prince Yelü. He will decide who should stay in them. You don’t need to worry.”

Qu Yuebai looked enlightened all of a sudden and nodded in agreement. “Right, Your Highness, you are considerate. Prince Yelü…”

Yelü Anchen responded hurriedly, “Lord Wu, you came with me from afar and had a tiring journey. I will let you stay in the nice yurt as a reward. Have a good rest.”

Afterward, he didn’t give Wu Yalei a chance to refuse and ordered.

It seemed that he was afraid that if he didn’t decide in time, he would be the one to stay in the yurt.

After a long time, the envoys from the Liang Country finally stayed in the embassy without complaint.

Mo Junyu heaved a sigh of relief for now and couldn’t help but ask Qu Yuebai, “You are smart when you prodded him at the city gate. It was a perfect way to deal with the arrogant Yelü Anchen. But how did you know earlier that it would be effective?”

The normal people wouldn’t be prodded so easily.

“Not to mention the yurts. Even I was surprised to see that. Did you prepare them in advance?” Mo Junyu asked while sighing with emotion.

Mo Junyang had talented men still remained in concealment. In the past, Mo Junyu had seen Qu Yuebai several times but didn’t take him seriously. He thought that was just an attendant and assistant employed by Mo Junyang and had never seen his ability.

Unexpectedly, this man made his mark at the first shot.

Qu Yuebai waved his hand in an instant and didn’t dare to take credit to himself. “Everything was arranged by His Excellency. I just did as he ordered, and I don’t deserve your praise, Your Highness.”

“Oh? Junyang arranged everything in advance?” Mo Junyu raised his brows and apparently didn’t believe it. Even if Mo Junyang had miraculous foresight, he couldn’t arrange everything that didn’t happen.

Qu Yuebai nodded seriously and answered, “Indeed it was His Excellency’s plan. After receiving your order, he sent people to investigate the situation in the Liang Country and guessed they would send Yelü Anchen here. And he made several plans according to Yelü Anchen’s character. It was just one of the plans as His Excellency guessed.

So it was His Excellency’s contribution, and I don’t dare to take credit.”

“Yes?” Mo Junyu replied, as if lost in thought. He smiled automatically and murmured, “He deserves to be Mo Junyang!”

Qu Yuebai had secretly observed Mo Junyu’s expression all the time and finally sighed with relief.

He made it clear. On one hand, he didn’t want to take credit, and on the other hand, he wanted Mo Junyu to know about what Mo Junyang had done.

These days, because of Shi Qingxue, Mo Junyang had more conflicts with Mo Junyu. If he let the crown prince be suspicious, they would probably break up sooner or later.

Now knowing that it was not that Mo Junyang didn’t do anything, but he arranged everything in advance and kept the crown prince’s order in mind, Mo Junyu might be less suspicious.
