"Master Song is joking."

Although Meng Hong was shocked, he didn't show it.

"With Lord Meng's talent and courage, it would be too unqualified to be the minister of Honglu Temple in Daning."

Song Taiping said: "When you come to Wei State, you can become a bachelor of Wenhua Palace!"

He looked solemn, and what he said was not falsehood, but his true thoughts.

Mr. Meng has been to Wei State three times. After several contacts, he found that he has outstanding knowledge and extraordinary courage.

What made him think this way was the conversation he had had a few days ago, which left a deep impression on him.

As the saying goes, promote talents in an eclectic way.

The new king of Wei State came to the throne and was undergoing reforms. It was the right time to hire people. Of course, there were other uses as well...

Meng Hong was slightly startled.

Wenhua Hall was the official office of the Wei emperor and also served as the center, and the Grand Master of Wenhua Hall was roughly equivalent to a cabinet minister.

These are indeed excellent conditions.

"Don't worry, your family and relatives can all come to Wei State. Isn't the only thing that matters in life is the future?"

"Lord Song, your words are serious."

Meng Hong said calmly: "Meng doesn't have much talent or knowledge, and he even lacks courage. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of Lord Song's respect."

"Don't you have courage? In the Wenhua Palace, you have extraordinary courage!"

"Master Song is wrong."

Meng Hong said with a smile: "Meng's courage comes from our Majesty Yuanwu, and Meng doesn't have half of it."

Song Taiping's eyes narrowed slightly.

These words were really heartbreaking, and he knew it would be impossible to win him over.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint Mr. Song."

Meng Hong bowed and saluted.

He knew in his heart that he might be thinking too highly of himself, but he also had other agendas.

Even the promise of the bachelor of Wen Huadian was brought out, how could it be that simple?

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Meng Hong poured a cup of tea for Song Taiping and asked tentatively: "I wonder if Master Song is here?"

"We can agree to the conditions you proposed."

After failing to win over, Song Taiping returned to a business-like attitude.

"I have sent someone to pick up Xiao Luan and deliver him to the border guard army as per your request."

"Master Song understands the great righteousness, which is actually a blessing to both countries."

Meng Hong spoke.

Wei Guo really compromised.

"I can't afford to wear this hat."

"As for redeeming people, this is the list of people to be redeemed."

Song Taiping took out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve.

Meng Hong took it and took a closer look. There were only a few dozen people on the list. He had already memorized these people. Without exception, the people to be redeemed all had profound backgrounds or huge industries.

But some of them are afraid they won't be able to come back.

Teng Jian is dead a long time ago, and Tao Lifu and others are also the masterminds. Naturally, Your Majesty will not let him back, not even if he is willing to pay a ransom.

Although Meng Hong knew it, he would not tell it.

"You must ensure the safety of the hostages!"

Song Taiping looked solemn.

He called these people hostages, saying that Daning intended to detain them, but Meng Hong didn't care.

"They were fine when I left."

Meng Hong said it with reservations.

"What do you mean?"

Song Taiping's expression turned cold. Since he was willing to redeem someone, he was naturally worried about his safety.

"I'm telling the truth. It's been three months now, how do I know? But don't worry, Mr. Song."

Song Taiping took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

It’s so frustrating!

“Where to trade?”

"Water or land."

"Let's go by land. Isn't it unsafe to go by water?"

Song Taiping's suppressed anger immediately rose again. What does it mean that waterways are unsafe? Isn't it because of the skeleton fleet?

"It's also traded at the border."

Meng Hong saw that Song Taiping looked wrong and quickly added.

That's easy to say.

It turns out that’s not the case for me!

Could it be that he is used to threats?

Meng Hong felt uneasy, this was not a good habit.

"When will the Daning army stop intruding, and when will the Skeleton Navy stop looting!"

Song Taiping's expression turned completely cold.

"It will be over naturally once it is fulfilled."

Meng Hong said: "As for the skeleton fleet, I really don't know."

“Stop pretending!”

"Master Song, you really don't know!"

Before leaving, His Majesty made it clear that he would not let go of the Skeleton Fleet until death.

I just don’t recognize it, what can you do to me?

"good!"

Song Taiping said coldly: "In this case, our navy of Wei Kingdom will dispatch to destroy them!"

Since the skeleton fleet appeared, it has caused great trouble to the Wei State. This time, we are determined to use all the naval power to completely eliminate it!

This is also a threat!

Wei's advantage over Daning is its navy, and now the gap is narrowing.

I would rather die than admit it.

Then it doesn't matter, eliminate the threat in advance.

"As you wish."

Meng Hong spread his hands.

"We, the State of Wei, have agreed to your request, and we hope that Daning can also comply with it. Rabbits bite when they are anxious, not to mention that I, the State of Wei, are not rabbits."

You are indeed not a hare, but a tortoise.

Meng Hong complained in his heart and said again: "Since it has been decided, I will return tomorrow so that I can send the news back as soon as possible."

"Can."

Song Taiping dropped two words coldly.

Naturally, he hoped that Daning would know about it as soon as possible, so that the pressure on the border could be reduced. Now His Majesty has put pressure on it.

But such a major event cannot be completely concealed, especially as panic has already appeared in counties close to the border...

"That's it. I hope I can have another chance to meet Mr. Song."

Meng Hong said goodbye with a smile.

"There will be."

Song Taiping responded calmly.

The next time we meet, we must be in Daning, because then, Daning will be captured by Wei and Liang!
