Gesang suddenly became anxious when he heard Meng Xinghe's tone of voice.
The lion's words were indeed scary. Judging from Meng Xinghe's appearance, he was really ready to make a deal. However, if he could accomplish this, even if he paid a little more, as long as he could occupy the land of Goryeo, the deal would be a good deal.
After calming down, Kelsang said: "Mr. Meng, wait a moment. Kelsang will come as soon as he leaves. We can talk in detail later."
Gesang left Meng Xinghe and went into the back room alone. He must have gone to get some treasure.
Meng Xinghe waited quietly, and not long after, Gesang came over holding two things.
He handed the thing in his hand to Meng Xinghe and said: "Gesang came from Japan this time and did not bring many treasures. This silkworm armor and this samurai sword are treasures that countless people in our country want to get. , Now, Gesang will give it to you as a gift,"
After offering two great gifts in succession, Gesang spoke in a much more sonorous tone in front of Meng Xinghe.
Meng Xinghe accepted Kelsang's gift casually, tapped the table with his hand, and said calmly: "General, you are too polite."
The corner of Gesang's mouth twitched and he said, "It's a little careless, and it's not polite at all."
Meng Xinghe said shamelessly: "General Gesang, let's talk about business."
Ah, Gesang obviously stuttered, and he gave two treasures as a gift. If it were anyone else, there would be no need to talk about this matter a long time ago. Gesang looked livid and said: "Sir, please stop teasing Gesang. It is related to the alliance. It will cause trouble." Great, if we sign it as soon as possible, it will be completed easily.”
Meng Xinghe said with a sullen face: "Do you think I am joking with you? This alliance is related to whether the Tang Dynasty can achieve territorial unification. The Holy One cares more about it than anyone else, but you seem to be unkind and only offer conditions for dividing the territory equally. , This makes me very embarrassed. If I sign, it will be difficult for the Holy Father to explain, but if I don't sign, I will be sorry for you, General Kelsang. What should I do?"
Meng Xinghe looked embarrassed, but in fact he was very happy. He was going to let Japan train his wife and then defeat his troops today. He was happy to help him count the money after being sold by him.
I, Ri'a, am too challenging. Meng Xinghe is brewing a plan, but it is not easy to let the old fox Gesang be fooled.
After thinking for a while, Meng Xinghe said: "General, do you think my method is feasible? If you think it is feasible, then I can sign the alliance contract. Then General Kelsang can return to Japan to resume his life, and the recovery of Korea will be just around the corner."
Gesang was worried about finding a way to get Meng Xinghe to sign a contract between the two countries. Unexpectedly, Meng Xinghe had already thought of a way for him. It seemed that the two treasures were not given away in vain.
Without any warning, Kelsang smiled and said, "Sir, please tell me. If it is feasible, Kelsang will definitely agree."
In order not to make Kelsang suspicious, Meng Xinghe said: "Actually, the two countries discussing the attack on Goryeo here are just to invade Goryeo's land. Has General Gesang thought about it? We have strong soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. We will send troops from Liaodong in less than a month. You can occupy more than half of Goryeo's territory. But if Japan wants to send troops to Goryeo, it will have to cross the sea to reach Goryeo itself, and it will also be resisted by the military and civilians along the coast of Goryeo. Unless you mobilize the entire country, even landing operations will be difficult. Even if When you land on the mainland of Goryeo, you will join our army of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, our army of the Tang Dynasty will occupy more than half of the land of Goryeo. General Gesang, just imagine, you will be willing to give up the city you spent so much energy to capture. ?"
Meng Xinghe asked the question sincerely. He made it clear that he could not be regarded as a heavyweight bargaining chip at the negotiation table.
Gesang completely understood what Meng Xinghe meant. There is an old Chinese saying that the cooked duck flies away. It seems reasonable for the Tang Dynasty to be unwilling to divide Korea equally. He said: "According to what your Excellency said, how should our two countries deal with it?" ,"
Meng Xinghe smiled faintly and said rather savagely: "This question is simple. Whoever grabs the territory will get it. In this way, both of us will work harder and no one will suffer. General Gesang thinks it is okay. Then this contract, I, Meng Xinghe can also be brave enough to sign,"
There was a sneer on Meng Xinghe's lips. This time, in order to seize territory, Japan might launch a crazy attack on Goryeo. Wouldn't this be exactly the purpose of my trip?
Gesang did not see the conspiracy hidden in Meng Xinghe's eyes. No one would suffer from such a clever plan. He immediately agreed: "Mr. Meng is really an honest man. This method is reasonable and reasonable. If Gesang disagrees, wouldn't he be living up to your wishes?" ,"
Hearing this, Meng Xinghe laughed even more happily. I am still more honest later. It won't take long for you to understand. Strike while the iron is hot. Seeing that Gesang had adopted his opinion, he took a pen and paper from the side and wrote. A paragraph is above.
"My words are unfounded. General, please take a look." Meng Xinghe handed the thanks to Gesang in order to reassure him completely.
Gesang took a look and saw that although Meng Xinghe only wrote eight words, they were concise and concise. He was very satisfied and said: "Sir, after the contract was signed, Gesang also asked you to show your favor and stay for a casual meal. ,How about celebrating together,"
Meng Xinghe did not answer. While Gesang was waiting anxiously for Meng Xinghe to sign the contract, Meng Xinghe was about to sign when he immediately put down the pen and said, "By the way, Mr. Gesang, it seems you still have a treasure that you haven't handed over to me." I,"
"What treasure?" Gesang wanted to take advantage of Meng Xinghe. If he didn't want to get this contract, how could he humble himself in front of Meng Xinghe.
Meng Xinghe said greedily, "The general is such a noble man who forgets things. That lady said that as long as the general gives the most beautiful woman in Japan to me, your affairs will be successful. I don't know if you have thought about it. If you have, I will sign." Here,"
Meng Xinghe was reluctant to start writing. He was waiting for a word from Gesang. He always believed that if you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard. .
Meng Xinghe thought shamelessly, but this was the only thing that Gesang didn't dare to agree to lightly.
Seeing Gesang's unhappy expression, Meng Xinghe directly picked up the contract and said unhappily: "Since Lord Gesang has no intention, there is no need to discuss this matter. I will take my leave.
Without saying too much, Meng Xinghe walked away directly.
"My lord, please don't leave in a hurry. We will discuss this matter in detail." We were finally about to sign the contract and complete the Japanese Emperor's highly detailed explanation of the trip. Who knew that at this critical juncture, Meng Xinghe suddenly The situation changed and Gesang didn't know what to do.
Meng Xinghe who left didn't listen to what Gesang said at all, and said angrily: "Since the general is not sincere, I will leave first. We will talk about it later when you have made up your mind."
Gesana was undecided. If he stopped Meng Xinghe now, he would be able to offer Princess Sakura of Japan to this guy as he mentioned.
This matter is difficult to handle, and Kelsang's mind is very messed up.
But just when he couldn't make up his mind, a shorter woman came out of the room behind Gesang.
The woman wore a water-colored robe with Japanese cherry blossoms embroidered on it, a pillow-like quilt tied around her waist, and a pair of red sandalwood clogs on her feet. She came over holding a tea set in her hands.
"Princess, why did you come out?" Gesang didn't know how to say it. His mind was in a mess.
The Japanese princess showed a sweet smile as bright as cherry blossoms: "General Gesang, I think the tea given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is better than our Japanese tea. I specially brought the tea set here today. Can we make tea?"
Gesang knew in his heart that the princess was on leave to make tea and the conversation was true. He nodded in agreement and already knelt down with the princess on the ground. Out of courteous etiquette, he said: "Thank you, princess."
The princess smiled sweetly. She was in the royal family. Although she had just celebrated her nineteenth birthday, she was sent to the Tang Dynasty by her father as the princess to marry. She did not complain. Instead, she felt that she was better than those who were already married. My sister has many wonderful things. For the sake of the people of Japan and the wish of her father, she sacrificed her as a princess in exchange for the people of Japan to live a stable life. She has nothing to regret.
Use a wooden spoon to pick a few tea leaves into the cup, and then place them carefully on a copper tripod filled with red wood charcoal to cook.
"General Kelsang invites you first." After the tea was brewed, the princess brought it to Kelsang.
Gesang continued politely, "The tea made by the princess is just like the Japanese cherry blossoms. It has a different taste."
The princess smiled softly, and a hint of red appeared on her jade-white skin. She, the most beautiful woman in Japan, was shy, but she really had a charming charm.
In fact, General Kelsang couldn't bear to see the princess being pushed into the pit of fire. He suddenly softened his heart and put down the tea cup in his hand. He said, "Princess, let's go. The Tang Dynasty is so big. After you leave, never return to Japan." Yes, if your majesty wants to take the blame, I will bear the responsibility for everything."
Looking at this princess, Gesang, as a veteran minister, felt guilty. If he had not made an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and sent the princess as a gift, he, Gesang, would not want to be a spineless Japanese. , he wanted to let the princess go, but he thought about it for a long time before making such a decision.
The Japanese princess smiled faintly. If General Kelsang had not considered her future situation, he would have carried out the Japanese emperor's order and sent her out. Otherwise, he would not have given away the two treasures he loved so much to others. But he didn't. The thought that the recipient of the gift was a greedy and shameless person made General Kelsang even more worried about this matter.
The princess knew the pain in General Kelsang's heart, and also heard the conversation between him and the officials of the Tang Dynasty. She said: "General, for the sake of the people of Japan, please send me out. Sakura will not blame you, and I don't want you to be a Japanese Sinner, Sakura came to Tang Dynasty this time and never thought of returning to Japan. Please general, don’t forget our mission,”
Gesang had nothing to say, "Princess, can you make me another cup of tea?"
"Okay," the princess picked out a few more leaves of tea and made a cup of tea for General Kelsang, "General, I will send the cherry blossoms to that gentleman's house tomorrow and sign the contract as soon as possible, so that you can return to Japan as soon as possible. ,to complete the purpose of this trip,”
Gesang lowered his head to drink tea, "Princess, don't worry, after they invade Goryeo, they will definitely attack the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Gesang will definitely have someone come to take the princess back to Japan."
The princess did not think too far ahead. It is always women who suffer in wars.
"General, I'm going back to my room first," the princess stood up to leave.
Gesang was stunned for a moment and said, "Princess, I don't blame Your Majesty." "No," the princess smiled calmly, as gracefully as a cherry blossom blown by the wind.
Seeing this, Gesang smashed the tea cup in his hand with a bang, "Meng Xinghe, if I, Gesang, know that you dare to play tricks, I will crush your head."
Hiss...who is thinking about me? Why is he so panicked? It can't be Aunt Yun or Mengdie. They have many magic spells. When they miss someone, they will poke a paper man with a silver needle and prick the paper man there. They will People who think about it will feel pain, which makes Meng Xinghe secretly sigh that no one can offend the two witches in the family.
Arriving outside the door of the Goryeo envoy, Meng Xinghe, who had just been to the Japanese, was more confident that Goryeo would resist the Japanese's crazy attack.
He knocked on the Korean's door a few times and waited quietly. After a while, a juicy cabbage opened the door for him.
"Can I come in?"
Looking at the juicy cabbage, Meng Xinghe wanted to reach out and touch it to see if it felt good.
The Korean envoy who opened the door for him smiled softly and said, "Sir, please come in." She had already invited Meng Xinghe, the prepared jackal, into the house.
