The sudden appearance of the Chrono Legion soldiers really shocked everyone present. They had no idea where these two people came from.

"It seems that the rumors among the people are not false."

Among the people, Zhang Tingyu was the first to recover from the shock. Although at this moment, he couldn't figure out how the people in front of him appeared. At the same time, he was also wondering what the weird weapons in their hands were.

But he understood that everything that happened must have something to do with the Zhang Fan in front of him. Since the other party dared to attend the meeting alone so calmly, he would not believe it if he said there was no back-up plan.

It's just...things are really too weird.

"The scariest thing about rumors is not that they can confuse people, but that they may be true!"

Zhang Fan glanced at everyone present with cold eyes, passing the pistol in his hand one by one, and finally pointed the gun at Tian Wenjing, the prefect of Yangzhou.

Bang!

"ah!"

As the gunfire rang out again, a scream suddenly came. Tian Wenjing fell straight to the ground, and at the same time, bright red blood slowly flowed to the floor along with his knees.

"To be honest, I don't like to torture people, but you really test my bottom line again and again."

Looking at Tian Wenjing who was wailing on the ground, Zhang Fan's eyes were not even a little shocked. When they started throwing cups as a sign, they were already a bunch of dead people in Zhang Fan's eyes!

With that said, Zhang Fan shot Tian Wenjing's other leg again.

The huge movement caused everyone to break out in a cold sweat, and even some of the timid ones were so frightened that they peed.

"Master, why are you doing this? Today is the day for peace talks. By doing this, aren't you slapping the imperial court in the face?"

Although the two sides are now at odds, Zhang Tingyu still has to stand up and stand up.

"Do you still have the nerve?"

After listening to Zhang Tingyu's words, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel happy. Is the Qing Dynasty trying to make excuses with him?

You didn’t even think about it before saying this, what kind of face does your Qing Dynasty have?

"you……"

Hearing Zhang Fan's sarcasm, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but blush.

This is really heartbreaking.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you any more. You came to me today just to discuss the armistice and your emperor's younger brother. Let me tell you my conditions first.

Armistice, this depends on my mood. If the price you offer satisfies me, then a temporary truce is not impossible. As for your prince, I still have the same price, one million taels of gold, no negotiation for one less!

"

Looking at Tian Wenjing, who was struggling on the ground in pain, Zhang Fan finally felt better at the moment, and then he sat directly on the main seat and slapped the gun on the table.

"This price is too high. You must know that one million taels of gold is already worth half of the imperial court's annual tax. Besides, you have now occupied the four prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't this enough to satisfy you?"

What's your appetite?"

Zhang Tingyu listened to the conditions proposed by Zhang Fan and said with a cryptic expression.

One million taels of gold, this guy really dares to speak, isn't he afraid of pushing himself to death?

Listening to Zhang Tingyu's words, Zhang Fan couldn't help but marvel at the other party's shamelessness, and wondered how the other party could say such things so calmly.

"I defeated the four prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River with one blow and one shot. What does it have to do with you, the Qing Dynasty? It sounds weird, but do you really think it was a charity from you?

Okay, if you have the ability, take it back and let me see."

"Also, you feel bad that the ransom only accounts for half of your tax revenue? I still feel that it is less. How about I change my mind? The price is two million taels of gold, and the money will be given to me to release him. How about it?"

This time, the price doubled. This result was something Zhang Tingyu never expected.

This guy is so shameless!

One million taels of gold was already an exorbitant price, and now he actually doubled it!

Seeing Zhang Tingyu's white and purple expression, Zhang Fan paused and then said with anger:

"I'll give you one month. After one month, I'll either give you money, or I'll cut this guy into pieces on the east wall of Zhenjiang Mansion.

Hmm... Think about it, Emperor Lingchi's biological brother must be very interesting, you think, how will the people talk about this matter?"

"How dare you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu's usually stable mentality was completely shattered. If this matter really came to pass, the Qing Dynasty would become a complete joke.

The emperor had nothing to do when his own brother was insulted. Isn't this a disguised way of saying that the Qing Dynasty was incompetent?

"Whether you dare or not is not up to me, but up to you. I said, I will release him as long as the money is available. This condition should not be too harsh."

Seeing Zhang Tingyu losing his composure, Zhang Fan still kept smiling.

"..."

Faced with Zhang Fan's conditions, Zhang Tingyu was silent for a long time before speaking:

"I can agree to this condition, but except for Prince Fangguo, you must agree to a truce. Except for the land of southern Sunan, you can no longer conduct war on the land of the Qing Dynasty!"

When Zhang Tingyu said this, she felt that her back molars were almost broken.

"An armistice? Hahaha, it's a beautiful thought. I said, the two million is only the price of your prince. As for the money for the armistice, that has to be discussed separately!"

Faced with this proposal, Zhang Fan naturally refused without thinking. Just kidding, he wanted to stop the war on his own for two million taels of gold. How beautiful of him!

"Don't go too far. I, Da Qing, am not a plaything for you to manipulate!"

Seeing Zhang Fan's arrogant look, Zhang Tingyu was extremely angry. All the energy cultivation skills he had gained over the years were completely destroyed by Zhang Fan in one day.

"Excessive? Hahaha, you actually have the nerve to tell me that it's too much?

Okay, today I’m here to ask you, in the past, when the Qing army entered the customs and killed people, could they go too far? When you forced me, the Han people, to have your hair like rat tails, could you go too far? Did you ever think about it when you set up literary prisons and killed innocent people indiscriminately?

Is it too much to live up to yourself?

Now you are making too many claims in front of me? Hahaha, it’s really ridiculous. In my opinion, what I have done is still far away from you.

Otherwise, let's do this. I don't need the money. You just need to send 10 million Manchu heads to me, and I will promise you a truce. How about that?"

Zhang Fan's words left Zhang Tingyu speechless. They naturally knew a thing or two about what happened back then. Don't forget that Yangzhou under their feet also had a share in the massacre.

The Literary Prison at the back had flourished as early as the Kangxi period, and countless great talents had died unjustly in it. Zhang Tingyu naturally understood this.
