The white clouds are lingering, and the mountain breeze blows by.
The courtyard became quiet, and an awkward atmosphere spread near the negotiating table, and even the air solidified.
Lu Zhidao was still smiling, with a bright smile, and naturally, it made people unable to even speak out to scold him.
This is the unique feature of Lu Zhidao. It can be said that it hides needles in cotton or knife in smiles.
This is the reason why the Emperor of Fengdu elected him as the commander and sent a mission to Jiuyou Kingdom.
Lu Zhidao would not be so excited that he didn't know what he was going to do. As for Wei Zheng, although he wouldn't be so excited that he didn't know what to do, he discussed with Lu Zhidao in advance, so Wei Zheng could only go and blush.
That's all.
However, Lu Zhidao is indeed much more difficult to deal with than Wei Zheng's straightforward heart.
The representatives of Jiuyou Kingdom were stunned and looked at each other.
This move of the Beiyin Dynasty is too poisonous; the army is the guarantee of Jiuyou Kingdom. The powerful army has made Jiuyou Kingdom dare to challenge the Beiyin Dynasty since five years ago. If it is really disarmament, it will be a weakening.
The strength of Jiuyou Kingdom.
"Your country now commands the ghost lands of the three continents, with nearly a hundred counties, and more than a thousand towns." Just when the representatives of Jiuyou Kingdom were still at a loss, Lu Zhidao stroked his beard and said, "Although the territory is vast, it is not enough to be seen."
, but there are tens of millions of troops in the country, which is too many. Is so many troops threatening our court? But it is a great threat to other ghost countries. The purpose of peace talks is to be peaceful in the world, which naturally includes
The security of other ghost countries. If there are too many troops in the ghost country, it is really not easy to achieve peace in the world."
"Of course, your country's disarmament is not without reward. Your Majesty agrees to disarmament. If your country agrees to disarmament in the treaty, then your lord can obtain the privilege of being a marquis." Lu Zhidao paused and continued to stroke his beard.
: "There are many ghosts who have made great achievements in your country. If you cannot be granted a title, wouldn't it be a loss?"
After saying that, he laughed again.
Seeing his smiling face, he could not notice any hostility.
Even after his words came out, the ghosts present in the Jiuyou Kingdom had the illusion that they could see an unlimited future with an unlimited future.
It was an illusion brought by a sense of glory that was high and noble.
It’s a pity that it’s fleeting; whether it’s Ying, Jiang Ziwen, Ji Kang, or even Yu Hyun, who was the guard of Hou, thought about it carefully, and knew that this was a vicious plan.
Disarmament is to get rid of grass, and allowing Xiao Shizhu to be granted the title of marquis is to beat rabbits. The Emperor of Fengdu made a good move, one stone and two birds.
The world is not entirely up to the Emperor of Fengdu. If you want to be a marquis, does Xiao Shizhu still need his Emperor of Fengdu to agree?
As long as the military strength is maintained and continuously strengthened, the strength of the Northern Yin Dynasty and Jiuyou Kingdom will continue to be different. Isn’t Xiao Shizhu’s decision-making decision on what he wants?
After Yingzhao exchanged glances with Ji Kang and Jiang Ziwen, Na Yingzhao asked: "There must be a number of disarmament, right?"
But I just asked casually, but didn't take it seriously. Xiao Shizhu might not agree to such an unreasonable request.
Of course, Yingzhao won’t take it seriously.
"Do you get one of them three times." It was obvious that Lu Zhidao, who was prepared, replied without hesitation: "Your country commands the ghost lands of three continents, and only needs three million troops to garrison in one continent."
"How about we order the soldiers to sell swords and replace them with beast souls and rakes on the farmland, and then buy a few acres of good fields to farm?" Jiang Ziwen, who sneered, then curled his lips and said, "Then put this in the future."
The country started, allowing cats and dogs to come whenever they want, and leave whenever they want?"
As soon as this said, anyone could hear that Jiang Ziwen pointed at the mulberry and scolded the locust, compared the Beiyin Chao to a cat and a dog and ridiculed him. But Lu Zhidao smiled and was very happy. He followed Jiang Ziwen's words and answered: "This relationship is good."
Ah, if this is true, then the world will be peaceful and the ten continents and six seas will be stable and peaceful.”
In just a few words, Jiang Ziwen's face turned ugly and ashen.
The anger in his eyes also reappeared, which was less calm and calm than when he and Wei Zheng were fighting each other, and more anxious.
"We cannot decide on the matter of disarmament on behalf of our lord." At this moment, Yingzhao stood up and said, "We have to wait for us to report this matter to the devil. Noon has arrived, two of you.
It’s better to go and have a meal first and take a break. We’ll talk about the rest in the afternoon.”
Lu Zhidao also knew that this matter was too urgent, so he stopped when he saw it, nodded and agreed to Yingzhao's proposal, stood up and bowed, and withdrew from the government office with other entourages. Under the guidance of the soldiers of Jiuyou Kingdom,
I went to the place where I stayed and had a meal to rest.
After watching Lu Zhidao and their way out of the government office, Jiang Ziwen was filled with anger. Looking at Lu Zhidao and their departure, he changed his color and said in a deep voice: "Lu Zhidao is still so difficult to deal with. His smile is really a pleasurable look.
It's a big fire."
However, Ji Kang and Yingzhao smiled and did not get angry. Yingzhao was still calm and composed, with no surprise or anger on his face in his eyes, and his general's demeanor was fully visible. Then he comforted Jiang Ziwen in a calm tone and said: "Ziwen."
Why should I get angry? The lord is talented and cunning, and he will never be fooled if he doesn't belong to the old ghost of Fengdu. No matter how Lu Zhidao smiles, he will hide his sword in his mouth, and this knife will not hurt us."
Ji Kang nodded and agreed; he stayed in Yuque City over the years and was also Xiao Shizhu's personal scribe. The other party was not very old, but as the youngest Lama in the underworld, he was very scheming and steady.
All of this was seen by Ji Kang, so he naturally didn't worry that the two peace terms proposed by the Northern Yin Dynasty would make Xiao Shizhu fall into the trap.
"So, is the Grand Marshal going to report to the lord?" Jiang Ziwen, who calmed down, turned to look at Yingzhao.
The fallen leaves flew up in Shanfeng Intermediate Courtyard. Yingzhao smiled faintly, squinted his eyes and nodded, and said slowly: "That's right, but it will be reported in three to five days. The longer the negotiation, the more beneficial it will be to our country.
”...
The strong and powerful wind whistled in the cloudless sky, but could not blow into the invisible barrier shrouded on the deck of a Nine Nether Kingdom fairy raft flying southward.
At the front of the deck, there is a seating couch. On three sides of the seating couch, three screens are erected on the edge of the couch. On each side, there are tall tall poles with pearls hanging down banners.
Xiao Shizhu and Guimu sat on the couch together, looking at the sky surrounding him, tasting tea and chatting.
They set out from outside Shizhu City this morning and took the fairy raft that came from Yuque City to return to Yuque City.
The negotiations in the north are underway as scheduled, and the investigation of the reselling of minerals on the Xiaofeng Plain in the east is already underway. Julong also led his men to Dongyingzhou, and the military deployment and assistance to the place are also underway.
It is time for Xiao Shizhu to return to Yuque and take charge of the capital.
In addition to the major events in the North China, there are many urgent matters that need him and the ghosts to decide, he has two urgent matters when he returns. One is to deal with the matter of the killing of his daughter by the fox Ji Tu Yaoqing, and the other is to go to Huangquan when he meets him.
At that time, the surrendered person is in heaven.
Although it was fun and relaxing outside, Xiao Shizhu was not the time to be a dog prisoner now. The responsibility and burden drove him to go back.
"Recently, is there any news about Shuoyue Island?" After chatting with the ghost mother for a while, Xiao Shizhu asked Chen Ruo and Xunxiang, who were beside Hou.
When the two ghosts heard this, they thought about it for a moment and shook their heads.
It has been four days since the negotiations started. Except for the initial peace talks that Xiao Shizhu was informed, no information was sent to him at the other time.
Xiao Shizhu also gave Yingzhao and the others the right to preside over the peace talks, so naturally there was no much inquiries. If it didn't go well, Yingzhao and the others would definitely send a message to inform Xiao Shizhu.
Seeing the two ghosts shaking their heads, Xiao Shizhu didn't say anything. After waving his hand to send them down, he took the golden orange peeled by the ghost mother and sent it to his mouth.
"Xunxiang seems to recognize you, and I have asked you about this." Xiao Shizhu turned around and looked at the direction where Xunxiang left, and asked the ghost mother again, "You didn't say much about it, how did you know each other?
”.
"I saw this ghost when I ordered soldiers to enter the Huangquan for the Emperor of Fengdu. She was one of the eight kings who commanded the army. I didn't know that the Eight Kings were the Thirty-six Commanders, and I didn't know when the Eight Kings were granted the Eight Kings.
But before I thought they all died in the underworld, but they didn't expect that they would survive." The ghost mother nodded and smiled and said, "The vitality is really tenacious."
Xiao Shizhu bent one leg, lay on the couch and yawned, and said, "You don't know what Huangquan has been stirred up by them. The local indigenous people can only conquer the south. Anyway, I won't Huangquan."
I plan to take care of it, a world that is about to be destroyed, just love. But I want to reuse this Xunxiang. I have seen her abilities recently. As my bachelor's and clerk, I can handle things in an orderly manner.
.But you still have to observe whether she is completely loyal."
"Since so many years have been abandoned by the Northern Yin Dynasty and destroyed herself in another world, she wants to be loyal, she may be discouraged." After thinking about it, the ghost mother lowered her voice and said to her husband: "
But to be on the safe side, don't let her contact with confidential matters for the time being."
"I'm just thinking that." Xiao Shizhu looked at the sky above his head and said leisurely: "Just like you treat Na Feitian, you can take it in for the time being, but you don't have to entrust important tasks."
The ghost mother did not speak, but nodded silently in agreement.
"Although our army won in this war, all the coast north of Xuanyanzhou were attacked, and many of the towns and ports were burned. I was waiting for the money from the Beiyin Dynasty to fill the national treasury.
Let’s allocate money to rebuild towns in the North Coast area.” Then, the ghost mother said: “Do you want to ask Yingzhao, how is the money being negotiated? You can do nothing else.”
"No need, it's ours, it's ours. I'll always give what I should give." Xiao Shizhu answered casually and closed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, Qinglan hurried out from the forecastle in the middle of the rear deck, rushed to Xiao Shizhu and Guimu, bowed quickly and said anxiously: "Lord, **, Shuo
The Yingzhao General on Tsukishima received an urgent message, mentioning that the Beiyin Dynasty agreed to pay a compensation of 50 million yuan, but there were two conditions. One was to demand that our country disarmament and dismiss one-third of the existing army.
”.
While speaking, the worried Qinglan kept frowning.
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he immediately sat up straight, looked at Qinglan and asked, "What? Disarmament?"
"Yes." Nodded, Qinglan said: "Ying Zhao Grand Marshal and Lord Jiang, Lord Ji Kang dare not decide without authorization. But for the purpose of you, you must negotiate for more days, you delayed for three days.
Then he reported it, asking the lord and ** to have the idea of this. Master Yingzhao mentioned in the urgent report that the Northern Yin Dynasty seemed to be determined to win this, so he would not let go."
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he looked at the ghost mother and saw each other's gradually tightening brows.
