Jin Feng is so young, handsome in appearance, knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, and has reached the pinnacle of power. He is more than worthy of the Seventh Princess!
What Nathan couldn't accept was having his fourth nephew and sixth nephew come to see him off!
Is this a wedding gift? It’s clear that he is going to be kept as a pledge!
The Fourth Young Master and the Sixth Young Master, one civil and one military, are the two most promising successors among all his nephews. Not to mention whether his brother agrees or not, even Nathan does not agree!
The plateau was still in the slave age, and tribal leaders were highly centralized. A single sentence could determine the life or death of many people, so the heir was very important, and even related to the future of the Black Tiger tribe!
A good heir can lead the tribe to grow rapidly, such as Gada.
In the same way, a mediocre heir will lead the tribe into the abyss!
For example, his other nephews were either addicted to drinking and sex, hanging out with maids every day, or they were violent and cruel, killing slaves and servants. Once their temper got angry, they would not even spare their clan members.
Once such a person takes control of the tribe, it will definitely be a disaster. As the second-in-command of the Black Tiger Tribe, Nathan will not allow such a thing to happen.
"Since Messenger Nathan thinks it is impossible, then there is no need for us to talk!"
Tie Shixin was about to get up again: "I still have something to do, so I won't send the Nathan envoy away!"
Nathan now wished he could kick Tie Shixin away, but when he thought of the situation of the Black Tiger Tribe,
, suppressed his anger again, stood up and stopped Tie Shixin: "Master Tie, what are you doing? We can discuss everything slowly! Please continue, what is His Majesty's fourth request?"
Negotiation is actually bargaining. Nathan planned to listen to Tie Shixin's four demands first, and then go to bargain together.
"Your Majesty's fourth condition is that Sichuan and Shu can support your Black Tiger Tribe to defeat the Goshawk Tribe, and can also help you pacify the plateau and become the king of the plateau, but your Black Tiger Tribe must always be loyal to Dakang!"
Tie Shixin said with a serious face: "After the Black Tiger tribe pacifies the plateau, the plateau can no longer be regarded as a country and needs to be subordinated to Dakang and become the plateau state of Dakang!"
"What?!" Nathan's eyes widened with shock!
From the three conditions Tie Shixin just put forward, Nathan found that each one was more difficult than the last.
The first one just costs some money and is nothing.
The second one is more troublesome, but if they really defeat the Goshawk tribe with the support of Sichuan and Shu, it will not be difficult.
The third condition is actually two. The first half requires the seventh princess to marry. As long as Jin Feng gives more gifts, the probability of his brother agreeing is very high.
In fact, the second half can also be discussed, such as replacing the fourth and sixth young masters with other young masters, or only one coming to see off the bride.
These can all be discussed slowly while sitting down.
But Nathan never thought that Tie Shi
The fourth condition proposed by Xin, the appetite is so big!
Even if he had dreamed before, the most he could do was defeat the Goshawk Tribe and make the Black Tiger Tribe the largest tribe on the plateau!
The Ninth Princess actually wants to incorporate the entire plateau into the territory and become a state of Dakang!
The ambition is too great!
Nathaniel thought the ninth princess was crazy!
When Tie Shixin saw Nathan's confused look, he knew that it was impossible to get the result today, and it was not something Nathan could decide.
So Tie Shixin raised his hand towards Nathan: "Messenger Nathan, we have finished raising our demands. Please think about it. If you can accept it, come to me again! I have something to do now, so I will leave first!"
After saying this, he walked out of the reception room without waiting for Nathan's reply.
This time Nathan did not stop Tie Shixin because his mind was still covered.
He even suspected that he had heard wrongly just now.

After Tie Shixin had walked away for a long time, he came back to his senses.
"Dakang doesn't want to talk?"
This was Nathan's first thought after he came back to his senses.
He thought that asking for a thousand hot air balloons and a thousand heavy crossbows was a big deal, but compared with the conditions of the Ninth Princess, they were nothing.
The Ninth Princess was willing to provide a total of seven hot air balloons and seven heavy crossbows, but she wanted them to bring the entire plateau to surrender and become a state of Dakang!
This is no longer asking for high prices;
I don’t want to negotiate at all!
In fact, it's okay for him to think so.
Princess Ninth guessed before the negotiation that his attitude would change because of meeting Jin Feng yesterday, so today's negotiation could not succeed.
Let Tie Shixin come to see Nathan to dispel his unrealistic fantasies and return to his proper psychological expectations.
To put it bluntly, Tie Shixin is either here to negotiate today or to attack Nathan.
Tie Shixin's mission was completed very successfully. Nathan was severely hit and did not recover until he left the reception room.
On the other side, Tie Shixin also returned to the Privy Council, taking the memorials that had been sorted and screened yesterday, and sent them to the Imperial Study Room for the Ninth Princess to review, and also reported on the negotiations just now.
Entering the imperial study room, I found that Jin Feng was also there.
"Good morning, Mr. Jin!" Tie Shixin smiled and greeted Jin Feng.
Jin Feng is a night owl and likes to sleep in. It is difficult to see him at this time.
"Morning!" Jin Feng nodded to Tie Shixin: "I heard that you just went to see Nathan. How was the discussion?"
He got up so early today because after being reminded by the Ninth Princess yesterday, Jin Feng also realized that he said the wrong thing yesterday, so he was more concerned about the outcome of today's negotiation and woke up early in the morning.
After a quick breakfast, I went to the study room.
"The talks have collapsed," Tie Shixin replied while instructing his assistant to put the memorial on the table: "Your Majesty has a wonderful plan.
Dan acted like a lion when we met today and showed no sincerity in negotiating."
"Why did he open his mouth so loudly?" Jin Feng asked.
Tie Shixin signaled his assistant to leave, and then explained the negotiation process just now.
When Jin Feng heard Nathan asking for a thousand hot air balloons and a thousand heavy crossbows, he was so angry that he almost cursed.
But after hearing the four conditions proposed by Tie Shixin, Jin Feng couldn't help but look back at the Ninth Princess.
He thought Nathan's conditions were outrageous, but the Ninth Princess turned out to be even more cruel.
Seven hot air balloons would replace the entire plateau!
No wonder Tie Shixin said the talks collapsed.
According to this way of talking, it would be strange if it doesn’t collapse!
Tie Shixin also said that Nathan had no sincerity in negotiating, and the Ninth Princess had no sincerity at all.
"Husband, you don't need to take the Black Tiger Tribe too seriously," the Ninth Princess picked up a memorial and said calmly while flipping through it: "Whether there is a Black Tiger Tribe or not, the plateau must be ours!"
If it weren't for Jin Feng's insistence, the Ninth Princess would not pay attention to Nathan at all.
The Eastern Barbarians can still provide some wool, and people can migrate there to develop agriculture in the future. There is nothing on the plateau, and it will be a burden to come here.
