The first peace negotiation team sent by the Senate arrived at the imperial capital of Byvost Empire.
There were no flowers or songs to greet them, only faces with contempt.
Now, the entire empire knows that the assassination was planned by the Alton Empire. This serious provocation really makes people angry and angry. What's more, now that they are afraid of war, they hurriedly come for peace talks. In addition to contempt, they can feel anything but contempt.
What expression?
The team sent by the Senate was not large in number, only a dozen people, and they rushed to the imperial capital all night long. If the crisis could be resolved earlier, the Alton Empire would be more stable. Therefore, this peace negotiation team did not care about
In an embarrassing situation, he asked to meet the eldest prince as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital.
After hearing the announcement, the eldest prince snorted.
"Go and tell them that I'm not free now. Let them wait until I want to see them." The eldest prince, who had made it clear that he wanted to dry them first, leisurely picked up the fragrant tea on the table and blew it.
He took a nice sip.
This tea was the best tea sent by Zhou Yunfei. Compared with the so-called "good tea" before, the eldest prince burst into tears at that time. Isn't this a cheating! Spending so many gold coins only exchanged for inferior "good tea"
, the eldest prince kept cursing those unscrupulous Longcheng businessmen, but little did he know that this strategy was exactly the work of Zhou Yunfei.
The aroma of tea lingers, and the eldest prince is in a good mood now. Couldn't it be better? It's clear that this is an opportunity to kill the Alton Empire, and anyone who lets it go is a pig!
But negotiation also requires skill. Now the initiative lies with Byvost. What is anxious is the Senate. They should give them a break first and strive for greater initiative. As a result, the envoys of the eldest prince could not be seen immediately.
I was dumbfounded on the spot, wouldn’t this cost people’s lives? But they couldn’t just break in, right? Well, just wait.
But this wait is so excruciating, every minute is so long, and after repeated inquiries, the reply I get is always the formulaic "The eldest prince is busy with government affairs, and will have time to receive you later."
"Oh, this is really difficult to handle." After asking again to no avail, the team leader seemed to have lost all strength and slumped down on the chair in the reception room. Regarding this task, he knew from the moment he received it that it would be done.
It was extremely difficult, but they didn't expect that the situation would deteriorate drastically in a short period of time, leading them to be so passive now.
"Isn't it? The current situation has made it clear that the Byvost Empire will speak loudly. I'm afraid we will be slaughtered miserably in this peace negotiation." A member of the envoy team said.
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, and no one thought highly of them. But even in trouble, they had to bite the bullet and continue talking, otherwise not only would a war break out in the empire, but their families might also be brought to justice by the angry Senate.
After the operation, they were now in a dilemma and had no choice but to move forward.
Finally, as evening approached, the eldest prince slowly summoned the envoy to see him.
"See His Highness the First Prince." The leader knelt down on one knee and saluted.
The eldest prince waved his hand and signaled them to get up, and then said: "Has your country thought about it? The Byvost Empire has never been afraid of war, not before, not now, and not in the future!"
What can be regarded as a naked threat made everyone in the Alton Envoy team pale, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves. The current Senate obviously cannot be "hard"!
"Your Highness is joking, joking. No one wants a war. I think there must have been some misunderstanding between you and me before. So this time the emperor sent us to resolve the misunderstanding, so as not to hurt everyone's feelings." The team leader Qiang
The ugly smile I had since I started wearing it was just a so-called "misunderstanding" that everyone knew very well.
"Oh? So how do you want to explain the personal harm done to the earl canonized by our country?" The eldest prince was so aggressive that he directly pulled off the last fig leaf of the envoys and hit their vital points!
The leader of the team was sweating so hard that he didn't even bother to wipe it off. "Your Highness is joking. It's just a one-sided private feud between a noble and an earl in our Alton Empire. Besides, the criminal has been brought to justice. This private feud
I think I understand it."
"Hmph! What a justice! What a personal vendetta!" The eldest prince's eyes were so sharp that all the envoys did not dare to raise their heads and look at him.
"It seems that you are still not sincere, so let's let the war recover the lost glory of the empire! Someone come!"
"Your Highness, wait a minute! Wait a minute!" The eldest prince's words made the leader of the team shout in fright.
"What else is there to say? Since your country dares to do something to hurt Byvost, then naturally you must be prepared to bear our wrath!"
"Your Highness, please allow me to say something. It's not too late for you to make a decision." The team leader mustered up his courage and decided to have a showdown with the eldest prince. Otherwise, if it drags on, it will be an abyss nightmare for the Alton Empire.
When the eldest prince heard this, he knew that the other party was going to show off their cards, and their previous actions were nothing more than increasing the pressure on them. Sure enough, as soon as they put pressure on them, they immediately lost their composure.
Next, the two parties discussed this "misunderstanding". The Alton Empire will hand over the culprit who planned this conflict to the Byvost Empire, and will spend five million gold coins to pay Byvost.
Used in a series of imperial military operations.
Of course, the most important thing is not the above two. The eldest prince opened his mouth this time and suddenly set the tax ratio for trade between the two countries to a quite astonishing ratio!
This disguised trade barrier will greatly reduce the Alton Empire's trade with Byvost in the future! On the other hand, Byvost's interests will be greater than ever before. The conditions carefully designed by the eldest prince will help the empire quickly get through last year.
The dilemma caused by the disaster, and more importantly, once the agreement is signed, the eldest prince's personal reputation will reach a new height! This kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone makes the other three princes angry, but that's all. After all,
Now the eldest prince is clearly in power, and his decisions represent the decisions of the empire.
Although he was distressed by the magnitude of the bloodletting, the matters assigned by the Senate were still completed. With conflicting feelings, the team leader quickly sent people to rush back to the empire day and night to report. And the eldest prince also promised that as long as the agreement is completed, the people to the south will be
The army withdrew. This assurance made the entire envoy captain breathe a sigh of relief.
However, after the eldest prince left the conference hall and walked alone on the corridor, a faint voice slowly sounded, "A bunch of idiots, although the empire can't take action, you haven't even figured out the real master, so you are ready to rest assured. I really don't know."
Should I say you are arrogant or stupid?"
"However, now that you have signed an agreement, if you want to go back on it, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so. It is normal to take advantage of the situation. Zhou Yunfei, Zhou Yunfei, I really want to thank you. You have brought me so much.
Benefits, what should I reward you? Haha, I hope you don't die, otherwise everything will be meaningless!" The eldest prince said to himself as he walked.
As for the second group of Alton Empire envoys on the way, after learning that the previous group had successfully resolved the crisis, they diverted to the south to the Lancelot family to have secret talks with the second prince of the empire.
This decision was also made by the Senate at the time, but they didn't know that the second prince had much more opinions on the Senate than the first prince. The Senate, which fantasized about using the second prince to counter the power of the first prince, was destined to fall in love with the second prince.
A big loss.
Sure enough, when they met the second prince, they received even more cynicism than the first team. Fortunately, in the end, the second prince also knew that getting outside help was very important for him in the current unfavorable situation. Therefore, after the eldest prince, the second prince
The prince also opened his mouth like a lion and slaughtered the Senate.
A secret agreement was signed. As for what was in it, except for the participants from both parties, no one else knew. All they knew was that when they came out of the conference room, the second prince felt like he had eaten honey, and the members of the envoy team were all drooping.
He hung his head and came out listlessly.
Two consecutive peace talks made the Senate believe that the crisis was finally over. Although it was a bit heartbreaking to pay the price, as long as they could keep the empire, or in other words, keep their own foundation, then losing some money didn't matter.
Linda could only laugh it off. These stupid guys still haven't understood that Longcheng, a "small" power in their eyes, will never give up. It will assassinate Zhou Yunfei again and again, no matter who it is.
Will let it go easily. Maybe what awaits the Senate will be a disaster.
Linda's guess was right. When the news of the peace talks reached Dragon City, everyone was angry!
Even Xu Sheng, who has always been steady, wrote a letter asking to send troops and led his First Army to let those idiots know what anger is!
Zhuge Liang had already calculated that the Senate would unilaterally make a compromise with the empire, and he also knew that the empire would eventually take this opportunity to kill them, and in the end both sides would call off their troops and have a truce. But when the news came, Zhuge Liang's face turned very ugly.
"It's time for those who made mistakes to atone for their sins. Order the Second Army to take action!"
The Second Army far away in the city of Lille, Zhao Yun, Pang Tong and the others also received news from Jia Xu. Silence, a deathly silence filled the entire Second Army. This was suppressed anger, silence before it broke out. Every one
The soldiers of the Second Army were as calm as if nothing had happened. In their hearts, it was useless to say anything now. Only sharp blades and the blood of the enemy could express their inner resentment!
Following Zhuge Liang's order, the silent Second Army slowly drove out of Lille and gathered outside the city.
The informants of many forces who have been paying attention to the Dragon City army in Lille City relayed the information back almost immediately. What kind of storm will this cold wind blowing from the north set off in the warm central plain of Ross Continent?
