Chapter 10 Section 6

Di Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "This tea is indeed good, but it's not as good as us humans - by the way, Your Majesty, you have admitted the wrong person. I am not Di Lin."

The Demon God Emperor stared at him silently, with fierce aura and sharp eyes that seemed to burn two holes in his face. Di Lin raised his head and faced the God Emperor's gaze calmly, with sincere eyes. Neither of them made a sound. , the room was silent, and you could hear the footsteps of the palace guards walking back and forth at the entrance of the camp. Silent murderous intent filled the air.

"Di Lin, you are the most outstanding human master I have seen in the past ten years," the Demon God Emperor said with a calm smile: "You are also the person who lies the most calmly in front of me. But no matter how clever you are, there is one thing There is nothing you can do to pretend: your pupils suddenly shrank just now."

Di Lin smiled and said, "Everyone will be nervous when suddenly facing His Majesty and the world's best master."

"With your martial arts, you should be a very famous master, but why have I never heard of your name?"

"How can I dare to be called a master with my meager skills? There have been many famous generals in the Zichuan family, and there are many masters in the army. There are many people in the army who are hiding dragons and crouching tigers, which is better than the many people below. I am not well-known, and I am not known by your majesty. That’s not a strange thing.”

"You claim to be an officer of the Guards, but you are wearing the uniform of a military judge of the Supervisory Office; you claim to be a red-coated flag book, but your epaulettes show that you are a flag book - how to explain this, Di Lin?"

Di Lin was secretly surprised. He was in such a hurry that he had no time to prepare the uniforms of the imperial guards, so he only borrowed Gopura's clothes and put them on. He did not expect that the demon emperor who had been living in the palace for a long time would actually be interested in the situation of the Zichuan family. He has such an understanding that he even knows the uniforms and epaulettes of each legion, as well as such minute information.

"I was originally affiliated with the Supervisory Office as a flag officer. Due to the order of the commander-in-chief, I came to your country as a mission and was temporarily transferred to the Imperial Guard. Before leaving, the commander-in-chief specially rewarded me for leapfrogging and promoting me to the rank of red flag commander. It was just that I was too hasty and crude during the war. , my failure to change my uniform epaulettes made His Majesty laugh."

The Demon God Emperor shook his head and sighed: "Di Lin, you are really smart! If Yun Qianxue was half as smart as you, she wouldn't have been burned under Pai."

Di Lin still said calmly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but you really made a mistake."

The Demon God Emperor clapped his hands, and someone outside the door responded, "Yes!" The door curtain opened, and someone came in.

The person who came was wearing the armor of a demon general. He was tall and thin, with a decent face and a proud expression, but he could not hide the sense of wretchedness in his bones. Seeing him, Di Lin's heart sank. He had already I recognized the person’s identity: Lei Hong, the biggest national thief of the Zichuan family and one of the former three-level generals of the Far East Army. When he was in the Far East, Di Lin, who served as the red-shirted flag general, had several encounters with Lei Hong, who served as the deputy commander of the Far East. Di Lin also understood. No wonder the demons came all the way this time with overwhelming force. It turned out that Lei Hong, a great traitor, was on the side to give them advice. Lei Hong had been the family's senior general for many years, and he knew the family's military distribution and combat methods and other secrets. They all knew it. His rebellion cost the family a terrible price.

Lei Hong was very proud. He bowed respectfully to the Demon God Emperor first, stood up and said to Di Lin with a smile: "Your Excellency Di Lin, you are now the chief inspector of the family and are rich and powerful, but do you still remember your old friend from the Far East? "

Di Lin said nothing and looked at Lei Hong calmly, his eyes full of contempt, showing that he didn't bother to answer. Lei Hong had been smiling, but under Di Lin's sharp gaze, his smile became more and more serious. He was stiff and a little at a loss.

The Demon God Emperor smiled and asked: "Di Lin, why don't you answer?"

Di Lin turned to face the God Emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how do you want me to answer a dog?"

The Demon God Emperor laughed loudly. Leihong's face turned blue and white, and he cursed loudly: "Di Lin, you are so arrogant even when you are about to die! My emperor is wise and will rule the continent sooner or later! If you know what is good, kneel down immediately Please beg for mercy and submit to my Majesty, maybe you can save a small life! Otherwise, I will kill you thousands of times..."

"Your Majesty!" Di Lin interrupted Lei Hong.

He stood up and faced the Demon God Emperor directly: "I dare to go to your country as an envoy, and I was prepared to die. Now that my identity has been recognized, my life is completely in your Majesty's control. If I want to kill or behead, your Majesty's words are enough! But if Your Majesty wants to negotiate with me, please send a purebred protoss over! As for him--" Di Lin looked at Lei Hong with contempt: "- at most he is worthy of negotiating with my dog!"

Leihong was furious and opened his mouth to retaliate, but the Demon God Emperor waved his hands silently. Leihong swallowed back a lot of swear words, but still couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this guy Di Lin not only despises me, he also Even you don’t take it seriously! Your Majesty, we must never let him go back alive..."

"I know, I have my own sense of proportion." The Demon God Emperor said calmly, but there was a kind of awe-inspiring courage in his calm tone: "Mr. Pingjing, you can retreat."

Lei Hong shut up knowingly and left obediently. When he went out, he looked back, his eyes full of deep-seated hatred for Di Lin.

Di Lin bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, please allow me to commit suicide." He has really developed too deep hatred for the demons, and the demons will not let him go no matter what. own.

Rather than letting them kill him, it would be better to do it yourself and end up happily.

The Demon God Emperor did not answer, but said: "I haven't seen a human master like you for a long time. I admire you very much. You are hundreds of times better than Lei Hong. If I suggested that you come to our side, would you think it was this? An insult?"

Di Lin muttered: "If anyone else had made such a suggestion, I would indeed consider it an insult. But since it was made by Your Majesty yourself, I really feel that it is a great honor."

The Demon God Emperor smiled: "Well, what is your answer?"

Di Lin thought seriously for a while and then said: "No. Your Majesty is so kind to you, but I still have a bit of shame. It's really difficult for me to be ranked with someone like Lei Hong." Rejecting the God Emperor's request, Di Lin Feeling sad for a while, he let out a long sigh. He knew that this actually cut off his last hope of survival.

The Demon God Emperor slowly played with the tea cup in his hand and cast his deep gaze on Di Lin: "I haven't seen a human master like you for decades. You should be the descendant of Sword Saint Raou?".

Di Linsheng had a terrible feeling that he had seen through everything: he didn't do anything, but with a few actions, he could see his martial arts and style. But there was one thing he never expected...

"Reporting to your majesty, I don't have any apprenticeship. I learned on my own from a sword manual."

"Oh! Where did your sword manual come from?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, I bought it from you."

The Demon God Emperor was surprised again: "I didn't know this: Laou's sword manual, something like this can actually be bought? It must be very precious?"

Di Lin Zhengyan said: "Exactly." He snickered in his stomach: It's not that precious. Zichuan Xiu lost the bet and had no money to pay off the debt, so he left two dirty booklets and ran away. Sterling and Di Lin, the two elders The winners had no choice but to reluctantly accept each booklet to cover their debts - this was really the cheapest martial arts secret book ever, worth seven coppers in total.

A few days later, Zi Chuanxiu cried and wanted to redeem the book, but the two of them beat him away. Di Lin secretly made up his mind: If he could go back alive this time, he would catch Zi Chuanxiu and interrogate him. Judge, what other treasures does this sneaky guy have hiding?

"Sword Master Raou, the strongest master in the human world after Zuo Jiaming..." The Demon God Emperor murmured to himself, and suddenly his tone became low: "Now, Di Lin, I really want to know: why do you dare to come here? Come on? Are you relying on your own martial arts skills? I have killed countless human masters like you thirty years ago!"

Di Lin replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I am here as an envoy."

The Demon God Emperor smiled sarcastically: "You are not the kind of person who sticks to morality, and neither am I. Even if the envoy is protected, you are a special case."

Di Lin had a cold war. The Demon God Emperor clearly meant that you, Di Lin, had already become notorious for killing civilians and prisoners of war indiscriminately. Our God Clan killed you, who can say we are wrong?

He took a long breath and slowly spit out four words: "Princess Cardan."

The Demon God Emperor looked unmoved: "Even if Sterling and the Central Army are not in my hands, given the current situation, our God Clan is strong and Zichuan is weak. Cardan is so precious to you! I forgive Zichuan Ginseng. You don’t even have the guts to touch a hair on my daughter!”

Di Lin sneered: "I forgot to tell Your Majesty that Cardan is not controlled by Zichuan Shenxing. She is under the care of my people. If I fail to go back on time, Cardan's head will fall to the ground within twelve hours. .”

The Demon God Emperor said coldly: "Are you scaring me, Di Lin?" His tone was full of suffocating threats.

Di Lin did not flinch: "Your Majesty, you should know that if a despicable person like me dares to go deep into your country's camp, of course he will not be unprepared. It will be easy for you to kill me, but if you want to return to Kadan, There is no way to survive!"

The two faced each other tit for tat, glaring angrily. Di Lin did not flinch, staring at the Demon God Emperor. Under the Demon God Emperor's gaze, he felt tremendous pressure, but he knew that he must not show weakness at this time and show the Demon God Emperor. If there is a flaw, you will be doomed.

After a moment, the Demon God Emperor spoke first. He suppressed his anger and said slowly: "Very good, come up with your conditions, Di Lin. Remember, don't go too far!"

"Your Majesty, I have already said this: We will let Kadan come back, you can help Pai withdraw from the siege, and let the Central Army come back."

"Don't you think this condition is too much? Do you want to exchange tens of thousands of Central Army troops with Kadan?"

"Your Majesty, you not only get Cardan, but also the territory of the entire Far East! What's more, there is only one princess of the God Clan. Her status is noble and is worth more than a million troops. If it is too cheap, it will be a loss. His Highness Cardan’s identity!”

The Demon God Emperor felt a bit dumbfounded: Di Lin had clearly taken advantage of the boss, and even acted like "I'm thinking about you."

He thought for a long time and then slowly asked: "Is Cardin okay?"

Emperor Lin Surong replied: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is very well and has not been abused in any way. Our Zichuan family treats the Princess as a distinguished guest and places her in the mansion of Zichuan Ning, the daughter of my former chief Zichuan Yuanxing. The courtesy is exceptional. According to what I have said You know, Her Royal Highness the Princess has also formed a deep friendship with Miss Ning!"

The Demon God Emperor nodded slowly and said: "When I sent this kid Kadan to Gesha, I wanted her to learn some military skills so that she could take on a big job, but I didn't know that it actually gave you an advantage. - This is really God's will, it seems. The Zichuan family is still full of energy!"

He muttered: "In this way, you put Kadan back first, and I will immediately remove the siege for Pai and let your central army go back."

"I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to withdraw from the siege first. Once the Central Army enters Wallen, we will immediately return it to Your Highness the Princess."

The Demon God Emperor raised his eyebrows: "You don't believe my promise?"

Di Lin stood up and bowed deeply: "I don't dare. It's just that your Majesty knows that it is easier for us to return Kadan. We only need to make a handover outside Wallen City. But the withdrawal of the Central Army is a big problem. , it requires coordination between the two parties, the exchange of messengers, and the march of the army. The journey is long, and unexpected changes are very easy to occur on the way. This is a very cumbersome process, so I hope that this matter can be handled first, and the subsequent handover will be very easy. .”

Di Lin talked about a lot of reasons. Seeing the Demon God Emperor's face getting worse and worse, he sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I will tell you directly: I believe that your Majesty means what you say, but just like your Majesty, As I said, the current situation is that the Protoss is strong and I, Zichuan, are weak. If we let Kadan go, but the Protoss refuses to let the Central Army come back, we have nothing to do. So we don’t dare. Please forgive me for this. .”

The Demon God Emperor laughed dumbly: "Then how do I know that after your Central Army returns, will you still release people? What guarantee do you have?"

"I think your Majesty's strength is the best guarantee. With your Majesty's world-class martial arts and the powerful military power of the Gods, if you have a choice, no one will be willing to be your enemy. If our Zichuan family dares to go back on our word, just Wallen Can the city and its security stop the army of the gods and a master like your majesty who is unparalleled in the world?"

The Demon God Emperor was silent and suddenly laughed loudly. Di Lin looked at him in surprise.

"That's a good flattery! Di Lin, I will fall for you once! I can promise you to let Sterling's troops disperse. You go down now and talk to Yun Qianxue about the specific issues of signing the agreement. .”.

Di Lin did not expect that the Demon God Emperor would be so cheerful, and he bowed deeply in surprise: "Your Majesty Hongde, the entire Zichuan family is grateful! Your Majesty, please rest assured, as soon as the troops enter Valen, the princess will be handed over to the Gods immediately! I'm the next one. I'll take my leave first." The Demon God Emperor nodded, and when Di Lin was about to reach the door, he suddenly called out to him: "Di Lin!"

Di Lin turned around and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

The Demon God Emperor smiled: "Remember, if you can't stay at the Zichuan family, you are always welcome here."

Di Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If that time comes, I will definitely come to seek refuge with Your Majesty."

The Demon God Emperor laughed "haha" and waved Di Lin to exit.

Di Lin came out of the tent and saw the blue sky and white clouds again, and the dazzling sunshine. Di Lin could not believe that he could come out alive. Cold sweat had soaked his clothes, and he suddenly realized that life is really a beautiful thing. .

There was a faint worry in his heart: the contemporary Demon God Emperor is extremely talented and ambitious, and he really has extraordinary abilities. He can overwhelm his ministers and integrate the traditionally chaotic and unruly demon residents into such a well-disciplined organization. A powerful army does not rely solely on the emperor's title and unparalleled martial arts. Even if the peace talks succeed, he will still be the biggest threat to the Zichuan family and even the entire human world.

An hour later, Military Advisor Heisha urgently requested to see the Demon God Emperor, and was immediately approved.

Heisha walked in quickly: "Your Majesty! I have an emergency to report to you! Has the human messenger left? Just now Yun Qianxue reported to me..."

"I know, military advisor." The Demon God Emperor calmly stroked the soft feathers of the falcon in his arms: "Are you planning to report to me about Di Lin?"

"Ah? Your Majesty already knows?" Heisha was surprised: "Where is he now? We will send people to chase him immediately!"

"Haha, we just signed the agreement and he has already gone back."

The chief strategist of the demon clan couldn't believe his ears: "Your Majesty, did you let him go even though you knew he was Di Lin?"

"Chief Military Advisor," the Demon God Emperor said leisurely, "Did you look into his eyes just now?"

"His Majesty!"

"In his eyes, I saw ambition." The Demon God Emperor seemed to be murmuring to himself: "This man has a devilish heart. It is more beneficial to us to keep him alive."

Heisha stood there for a long time, then suddenly bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, with your wise command, how could we fail?"

The Demon God Emperor smiled and murmured: "If God wants me to fail, it will be easy... Just let the Zichuan family struggle for a few more years. After fighting for so long, we should take a rest."

On February 20th of the 780th year of the Imperial Calendar, the Imperial Guards of the Zichuan family, the "Red Flag Bengopura", signed the infamous "Gopura-Yun" with the Demon Emperor in Maple Leaf Danlin. Light Snow Maple Leaf Danlin Agreement." The agreement stipulates:

One: Immediately achieve an armistice between the two countries.

2: The Demon Kingdom releases the besieged Central Army officers and soldiers from the Zichuan family.

Three: The Zichuan family will use money to redeem all human officers and soldiers captured in this war.

Four: All twenty-three provinces in the Far East were ceded to the Demon Kingdom as compensation for the defeat.

Five: In addition to the ransom for the captives, the Zichuan family must pay another one million taels of silver as compensation for the defeat.

Six: The Zichuan family handed over Kadan, the demon princess who was captured in the last war.

The representative of the demon clan who signed the Maple Leaf Danlin Agreement was General Habayashi Yun Qianxue, while the representative of the human race was "Shirakawa Family Imperial Guard Red-Coated Hatamoto Gopura" - later generations said that this actually did not exist Countless studies have been done on the identity of the mysterious figure. The lengthy studies and papers published for this purpose have fed countless historians who are just trying to make up for their mistakes. They argue endlessly and break their brains.

From this day on, this tragic war, which lasted for more than a month and killed and injured millions of soldiers and civilians, finally came to an end. In later history, this war and the Far East Rebellion War were combined as: "The First Far East War" war".
