Chapter 67 Negotiation of Peace (5)

Qi Yueran's heart pounded violently, and she pushed him away and said, "What do you know!"

"Don't worry, I won't force you. If you do your business, there will always be a day when you finish it. At worst, I can wait."

After putting down a few words, Huo Lianjie strode away, and the corners of his lips raised showed that he was in a good mood.

Qi Yueran secretly wondered, where was there a flaw? Oh no, I still wanted to talk, but I didn't get a single word of usefulness.

Today is the same hall, and there are still those who sit in it, and the seats have not changed. After returning yesterday, Chen and the others discussed it and decided to start bargaining. After all, they were the defeated parties. Wang Jian said: "We can deliver the seals of the three cities, but no one can stop the people from staying or leaving."

Yan Kai smiled and said, "Please rest assured by Lord Wang. Our Yan State has always been generous and kind to the people. If no one is provoking and inciting them, who would be willing to work hard and stay away from his hometown?"

Wang Jian: "Of course, Lord Yan can think so. I won't say much. Justice is in the hearts of the people. It's not difficult to have a prisoner of war, just exchange."

Huo Lianjie nodded to Yang Shaoqing, and then said, "Yes."

The following is the most important thing. Wang Jian's face turned pale: "We will both be damaged in military expenditure. Da Yan has a city. My State Chen is already seriously injured. Please show mercy to the subordinates of Yan State."

Yan Kai said: "My lord is not saying this. Yan and Chen have always been comparable in national strength, but Chen's population is still relatively large. Just one tax is more abundant than our Yan State. The amount we mentioned is not excessive." Yan Kai, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, knows the most about the money and food of the people.

King Su, who had not spoken, said calmly: "On the battlefield, I, Chen State, have lost, and no one in all directions can compete with Yan State. Why not forgive others and be a benevolent country? For example, the small country of the Western Song Dynasty paid annual tribute every year. Why do you resist today? It is not that Yan State plundered too much! You must know that only fine water can flow for a long time, and you cannot fish in the water!"

Yang Shaoqing smiled and said, "Prince Su is too modest. The national strength of Chen State is several times stronger than that of the Western Song Dynasty. It cannot be compared with that of the West."

...

Today, the people of Chen State were not so tough. Yang Shaoqing and Yan Kai were enough to deal with it. Huo Lianjie couldn't help but think randomly when he was idle. She just breathed a sigh of relief. Why? Is his question difficult to answer? She must leave and do things. What about it? She still wants to end the peace talks as soon as possible. Is it related to her affairs?

...

Peace talks?

Huo Lianjie glanced at Chen Guoren present and said that Fu Hong was the general. He was not good at such verbal disputes. He sat aside and listened more and said less, but at least he didn't get angry casually today. As well, King Su and Wang Jian were just complaining and talking, and he looked like he was not in a hurry.

This is understandable. When I learned about Yan's request yesterday, I naturally had to report it to Emperor Chen for a decision, so these days, I probably have to argue with each other and wait for a reply.

Huo Lianjie was a decisive person. He was willing to negotiate at the beginning, but he took the opportunity to go out of Beijing to plot against King Xian, but he was already impatient at this time.

"Master Tian," he suddenly spoke, interrupting their topic, "This place is dry and dry, so why not drink some wine and moisten your throat?"

Tian Qi smiled awkwardly: "Wine is probably inappropriate, so what about tea?"

"It's OK." Huo Lianjie waved to his side: "Take out our good tea for Lord Wang, and everyone can try it."

"yes."

Their personal followers retreated and soon came in several maids, putting the hot tea set on the table, and serving everyone to drink tea.

Everyone spent a long time talking and was thirsty. Seeing that Huo Lianjie and others had already been sipped, he thought he would drink it.

Huo Lianjie laughed secretly and stood up and said, "I've been sitting there for so long, I'll go to a toilet. Everyone talks slowly, I'll lose my companion."

Everyone saw that he looked calm and didn't look anxious. They were afraid that they were impatient to listen to their quarrels, so just leave.

Everyone was drinking hot tea and talking, and they became more energetic just now. They didn't forget to praise "good tea". After drinking it for a while, Wang Jian felt his abdomen churning and his pain fell. The first thing they thought of was poisoning, but after looking at King Su and Fu Hong, they looked as usual. Could it be that they were not accustomed to the local conditions?

He was suspicious in his heart, afraid that his stomach would not be able to hold on. Wang Jian could only apologize: "You are rude, I will go out too."

He said it vaguely, but the word "also" is enough to make everyone clear.

With his legs clamped, Wang Jian walked a few steps away from everyone's sight. The servant here had already helped him to go to the toilet. When he arrived at the place, he squatted down quickly, and felt relieved. Then he could consider other things. As soon as he looked up, he saw a shadow covering the door.

"Mr. Wang, how about coming out and telling me after the incident?"

Jet Huo!

Wang Jian suddenly realized it, and he couldn't help but burst into anger and shouted: "Prince Huo, just say something, what's the point!"

"Mr. Wang, I don't want to do it either. Do you think this place is very interesting? But there are some things that are hard to say in front of them."

While Wang Jian tried hard to solve the problem, he said, "It is impossible to talk to others. I have no relationship with the prince in private."

"Forget it, Lord Wang hurry up and let's talk about it in another place."

The footsteps sounded from near to far, and it seemed that they had walked away. This place was not a good place for conversation after all.

Wang Jian couldn't help but think a little more. Why didn't he look for others and just look for him? Is there any reason? He hurriedly solved his own affairs and cleaned them up.

Huo Lianjie stood alone by a dense short tree dozens of steps away. Apart from him, there was no one in his sight.

Wang Jian's heart was settled, but he was not afraid of him being ill-telled, because he really couldn't remember what the entanglement between them. "What does the prince mean?"

Huo Lianjie held his hands behind his back with his head raised and smiled faintly. No matter what he had done, he could be considered a handsome young man. However, Wang Jian fought a cold war.

"I heard that Lord Wang is the confidant of Master Wen, and he is also the recommendation of Wen Xiang when he is on an envoy to discuss peace?"

Wang Jian bowed and said, "I dare not say the word "confidence" casually. They both serve the country. I have always admired Wen Xiang. When I go on an envoy, I am indeed recommended by Wen Xiang."

Huo Lianjie approached, and the two were only one step away. "You can't know what Wen Xiang does if you don't say secret words. Otherwise, there are so many people who admire Wen Xiang, why are you the only one here?" As he said that, a sneer appeared on the top.

"This... where did the prince start!" Wang Jian did not dare to look directly at Huo Lianjie, his momentum was a little weak.

"You don't want to admit it. If I don't force it, just listen. Our Dayan's requirements are not high at all, and it's completely within your tolerance. You should sign the contract quickly. I have something to do!"
