Chapter 140: Negotiation

At night, it became deeper and deeper, and there was the mournful cry of crickets everywhere, and tens of thousands of camp tents were stationed not far away, all brightly lit, and thousands of soldiers patrolled back and forth in the camp, leaving no gaps.

"We must hurry up and reach this negotiation, otherwise as soon as the morning dawns, Qingyi will attack, and Helan will stir up it, and the consequences will be unimaginable. "Ouyang Xuanyue's dreamy face and vivid face are indeed perfect, such a person can always make people unconsciously attracted.

Shangguan Ye Lin retracted his eyes and looked at Ouyang Xuanyue, the corners of his mouth were involved, and he said, "Helan is not a strong country but he is not weak, and he can't get any benefits from fighting hard with Tianqi, but Helan also knows that they can't take any advantage, but he was provoked by traitors before, and when he learned that Yu Wenming was imprisoned and Tianqi, he sent troops to suppress the realm, and at this time it became a little difficult to ride a tiger, now we just need to grasp this point and give him a step down to save Tianqi's fate." ”

"As the emperor, I have the responsibility to protect the safety of Tianqi, so I must go there. His expression is calm and emotionally restrained, seemingly contradictory, but it is perfectly unified, in a word, the emotions revealed can no longer be described in words.

"Xuanyue, are you pressing me as the emperor? Since you know that you are the emperor, you should know that you are carrying the whole world on your shoulders, not your own selfish desires. ”

Ouyang Xuanyue's infinitely tender but childish and lovely domineering love made Shangguan Ye Lin a little helpless, and her words were a little firm.

Ouyang Xuanyue took a deep breath and squeezed out a word from between her teeth with difficulty, "Okay!" Her eyes turned to Shangguan Ye Lin, "I agree with you to go." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Ye Lin smiled slowly, just one smile was worth a thousand words, and when he turned to leave, Sakura lips opened lightly, and a sentence sounded, "Xuanyue, if I can't come back, what will happen to you?"

"I will step on the entire Helan and Qingyi, and avenge you, even if I do everything in the world, I will not hesitate!" The narrow eyes narrowed, and the eyes shot out of fear, but with a chilling light, the tone was deep, and the cold voice that flowed out could freeze people instantly.

The words came into his ears, Shangguan Ye Lin walked forward without hesitation, and did not forget to respond, "Xuanyue, believe me, I will let Helan withdraw from the army, and at the same time, let Helan bow down to Tianqi and be willing to become a vassal state of Tianqi." ”

Leaving Ouyang Xuanyue's sight, Shangguan Ye Lin frowned, pressed his chest with his bare hands, forcibly endured the sharp pain that came, and continued to move forward with difficulty.

In front of the camp tent, when the soldiers saw someone approaching, they immediately raised their weapons horizontally and surrounded them, "Who are you? ”

"I am the Empress of Tianqi Kingdom, and I came to negotiate with the King of Helan, but the King of Helan saw it or not. Under the moonlight, Shangguan Ye Lin's eyes were as unfathomable as sea water, her skin was very white and ivory, and the whole person looked a little sickly, but it was extremely light.

In the Helan camp, the Helan Emperor put down the wine glass in his hand, looked up at the soldiers in front of him, and suddenly spoke, "Queen of the Heavenly Prayer Kingdom?"

"That's what the person said, this is what she asked to hand over to the king, and the king will take a look. As he spoke, he handed the thing in his hand to the king.

"Tianqi Fengyin, it seems that she is indeed the queen of Tianqi. The emperor looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha, I didn't expect her to send it to the door for nothing, but God really helped me, and the odds of our Helan winning are several percent higher." ”

Without smiling, he touched his mustache, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Bring her in." ”

The rumors of Queen Tianqi among the people can be described as windy and rainy, today, he wants to see what kind of person this queen is, and her fame can spread to Helan's realm like Ouyang Xuanyue, becoming the hottest topic for Helan to talk about.

Thinking about it, the curtain was lifted, and a woman who was really born to fall into the country walked in, with a tassel hanging down her forehead, swaying gently, and a red plum in the center of her eyebrows, which was extremely beautiful.

This little girl is really captivating the country and the city, could it be that the reason why Ming'er stayed in Tianqi was...

Before he could turn his thoughts, he was interrupted by a voice, "The emperor knows that wandering in front of the enemy is equivalent to putting his life in the hands of the other party. ”

Looking up at the person who spoke, it was the queen of Tianqi, although this little girl was smiling, her eyes were extremely indifferent, and the curvature of her lips was not friendly.

"You little Nizi, you look beautiful, and your speech is quite sharp, I'm afraid that you know that once the emperor dies, you can't escape at the same time, Helan will also raise troops to attack Tianqi, your little Nizi is really thoughtful, you can think about so much in a moment, if not, I'm afraid that the emperor has died in your hands now." As he spoke, he saw the emperor pour a glass of wine, suppressed his shock, and the two mustaches on his mouth trembled slightly.

Shangguan Ye Lin listened to the words, smiled silently, and said, "Each other, speaking of deep thoughts, this palace is not as experienced as the emperor, and when the emperor returns to his senses, these thoughts have been merged into the emperor's mind, so that the palace really admires." A light and shallow sentence contains a thousand meanings.

"Okay, okay, this emperor knows that he can't talk about you, I heard that you are here to negotiate, and another one is here, why do you think this emperor will agree?" The emperor hurriedly waved his hand, did not continue to entangle with Shangguan Ye Lin, and went straight to the point.

"Retreat or not, this initiative is in the hands of the emperor, but the emperor is not allowed to withdraw the army, but this initiative is on our side, how about I make a covenant with the emperor?" Shangguan Ye Lin wore a plain white and clear long skirt, covered with a silver silk and brocade cloak, her face was elegant and fair, her face smiled lightly, and her eyes were extremely clear.

"The Covenant?" the King seemed to be a little interested in the subject.

"Well, but before that, this palace first asks the emperor two questions, one is what does the emperor mean by what the emperor just said about another negotiation?" Shangguan Ye Lin slowly sat down, his eyes shining lightly.

The words lingered in the ears of the emperor, and I saw the emperor holding the wine glass by himself, and said: "This has nothing to do with you, but it's not a big deal, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, even before you came, there was also a person who came to negotiate with the emperor on behalf of Tianqi, but that person was unidentified, and second, there was no token, and the emperor believed that he imprisoned him, what is the second question?"

"Second, may I ask when the emperor intends to sit on the throne?" This information seems to be of little use to Empress Tianqi, there are no ripples in her eyes, there is no information for the emperor to find, some are just purer and whiter than the whitest mutton fat jade, and the eyes are more beautiful than the clearest crystal.

When the sound fell, I saw the emperor put down the wine glass, turned his head to look at Shangguan Ye Lin, who had already sat down at some point, and said: "The queen thinks that the emperor is still greedy for this throne, the person who is half in the coffin? ”

"Oh, then this matter will be easy to do, our covenant is that you withdraw your troops back to Helan, fulfill your wish, hold an abdication ceremony, and pass the throne to Yu Wenming, as a condition for the Holy Lord's retreat, Tianqi will never send troops to attack Helan, and the matter of making Helan a subject of Tianqi will not be put aside, as long as the king of Helan does not agree, I Tianqi will never let Helan become a vassal of Tianqi. ”

The queen's eyes are clear, and there are golden red plums between her eyebrows, cold and elegant, she is really a stunning beauty, and her words are beautiful, and it is difficult to be unconvinced.

"Are you really willing to make such a loss-making deal?" asked the emperor, his voice faintly joyful.

"No, this palace thinks that the emperor should be very clear about the situation of Tianqi at this time, the green wings are pressing, ready to go, if the emperor intervenes, Tianqi is in danger, so reaching a covenant is not a loss-making deal for Tianqi, and it is also a matter of killing two birds with one stone for the emperor, the emperor can fulfill his wish, and Helan will not become a vassal state of Tianqi. ”

After that, Shangguan Ye Lin smiled faintly between the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and before the emperor could speak, he replied, "However, if the king of Helan does not agree to this alliance and insists on joining forces with the Qingyi Kingdom to attack Tianqi, he is not sure that after the victory of the Qingyi Kingdom, he will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, and use the Helan Kingdom as a gunman, and then the fate of the Helan Kingdom will be in the hands of the Qingyi Kingdom. ”

Shangguan Ye Lin's words were sharp, and he grasped every sentence, which made the emperor speechless, only to see the emperor lower his head and think slightly, and suddenly raised his head and said: "Ouyang Xuanyue, that kid is really willing to do this? Or are you playing with the emperor." ”

"I am the queen of the Tianqi Kingdom, and since the emperor asked me to negotiate, what I said naturally represents the entire Tianqi. A pair of starry eyes full of agility seemed to drip water, half-bent as if smiling, and their eyes were shining.

"Okay, as long as the emperor does not let the Helan Kingdom become a vassal state of Tianqi, the emperor will immediately order the withdrawal of troops. The emperor slapped the table, stood up, seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "No, there is no basis for what you say, you must sign a covenant, in case you are delaying the war, and when the emperor returns to Helan, you are biting Helan back, and the emperor will not gain more than he loses." ”

"Then ask the king to draw up a decree, and you and I will seal it. As he spoke, he saw Shangguan Ye Lin take out the Heavenly Prayer Phoenix Seal from his sleeve and play with it in his hand.

"Isn't this jade pendant here?" Before the emperor's doubts were over, Shangguan Ye Lin had already answered for the emperor, "This jade pendant was brought back by the palace when the emperor was distracted just now. ”

At this moment, there was an argument outside the tent.

"Lord Wang, the Emperor and Queen Tianqi are negotiating, Lord Wang, you can't go in. The guards outside the tent grabbed Yu Wenming from left to right and didn't let him in.

"Get out of the way, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame this king for being polite. She sent a secret guard to investigate, and got the news that Empress Tianqi came to negotiate alone, and he escaped from the camp without the soldiers, and came here, but was stopped.

When the emperor heard this, he lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent, his eyes turned to Yu Wenming, "What are you doing, what are you doing, I'm afraid that your Lao Tzu will imprison Queen Tianqi." As soon as the words fell, a thrill in his brain, his pupils widened, and he shouted, "Ouch." ”

Immediately glanced at the sealed covenant in his hand, Emperor Helan slapped his thigh suddenly, turned to look at Shangguan Ye Lin who walked out behind him, and looked regretful, "Lao Tzu has fallen for your little girl." ”

"What does the emperor say about this, this agreement was agreed to by you, and it was also signed at your request, and the palace did not force you. A pair of eyes as deep as the depths of the sea stared over, indescribably ethereal and light, and some aggrieved words came, which made people angry and reluctant to sprinkle on her.

"You just lured me into your trap, let me withdraw and return to Helan, and hand over the throne to Ming'er, and then you said that the condition for retiring is that the king of Helan does not agree, and Tianqi will never let Helan become a vassal country, that is, before passing the throne to Ming'er, do not let Helan become a vassal country, once Ming'er becomes the king, then..."

"At that time, whether Helan is willing to become a vassal of Tianqi is none of your business. A pair of jade-like eyes, shining with huge light, and thick eyelashes, like a pair of jade curtains, took over the conversation lightly.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wenming didn't understand what was going on, but he also estimated that he was seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and his crystal fingers touched his lips, covering his mouth and chuckling.

"Look, look, I'll just say that you little girl is thoughtful, according to the character of that little cub, you can't give Helan to Tianqi obediently, Lao Tzu's hard-fought rivers and mountains will be given away." ”

After speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yu Wenming, who was laughing on the side, copied the knife in the hand of the soldier next to him, looked at it, threw it, picked up the wooden stick from the ground again, and ran towards Yu Wenming, "It's all you, you dead boy, so that you Lao Tzu will take the initiative to the other party." ”

Yu Wenming looked at his father who was getting closer and closer to him in front of him, and when he saw the wooden stick waving in his hand, he hurriedly dodged, forming a situation of being on the run and chasing again.

In this way, Shangguan Ye Lin watched the emperor rushing up and down in front of him chasing Yu Wenming vigorously, but his mind was no longer on it.

I heard the emperor say that before she came, there was another person who also came to negotiate with him on behalf of Tianqi, what was the matter? Who was this person who came to negotiate, and what was his purpose?

"Father, Daddy, Wait, can you tell me what I did wrong, you are going to chase me for half a circle. Yu Wenming was really tired, so he dodged and asked.

"The Emperor. A voice stopped the chasing emperor, and the cold words sounded again, "In the end, you are worried about two points, one is that you are worried that Yu Wenming will not be able to resist the forces of other countries after sitting on the throne, and the other is that you are worried that Helan will be annexed by Tianqi. ”

At the end of the words, he slowly walked towards the emperor, "However, this palace can assure the emperor that once Helan becomes a vassal state of Tianqi, Helan will naturally be the border of Tianqi, and if anyone dares to invade Helan at that time, he will be against Tianqi, and besides, Tianqi will be peaceful and peaceful, and the emperor's reputation is not enough to show that he has made everyone in the world submit to him?"

Since he is a person who makes all the people of the world surrender, how can he be a person who rebels?

Hearing this, the emperor threw away the wooden stick in his hand, and slashed towards Yu Wenming viciously, trembling and trembling with his two-character beard, "Heaven prays for the peace of the country and the people, Lao Tzu agrees, but Ouyang Xuanyue's reputation of that kid calls on the world, Lao Tzu disagrees, Lao Tzu's reputation among the people... Although the reputation is not as big as Ouyang Xuanyue's kid, it is not bad!"

"Yes, this is what Hongu agrees with. "Although the reputation of the emperor is not as good as Ouyang Xuanyue, it is indeed not bad, Helan is under the governance of the emperor, and the people are also living and working in peace and contentment.

Thinking of it, a burst of pain struck, Shangguan Ye Lin leaned to the side a little uncontrollably, and was held up in time by Yu Wenming, who was quick-eyed, and at the same time the worried words sounded, "What's wrong with you?"

"Hey, hey, you can't have anything, if something happens here, even if the emperor has ten mouths, he can't tell clearly. The king's face was wrinkled, and with obvious concern, he did not forget to order, "Quickly call for a military doctor." ”

"No need. She just wanted to return to Xuan Yue's side now, to return to his side, and the pain that surged up could no longer be suppressed, and she fainted in Yu Wenming's arms.

The candles in the palace are bright, the sandalwood gate of the moon hole in the middle is hidden, there is a faint sound of the piano, and the black plaque on the door reads 'Moxuan Palace' three gilded characters.

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and a female voice sounded, "I really can't imagine it, before the palace has made a move, someone has already sent Concubine Li into the Yama Palace, and the queen mother has been in a coma for three days due to illness. ”

"Concubine Niangniang, then we ......" Mei'er asked without saying anything.

"Naturally, I sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight. The corner of his eyes was raised, his eyes swept to Mei'er, and the words flowed out, so he closed his eyes lightly, picked up the strings softly, smiled on his lips, and quietly immersed himself in the sound of the piano.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, there was a stunning woman lying on the huge bed, only to see her slightly curled eyelashes slowly trembling, and the whole room trembled slightly because of her deep and confused eyes.

"Palace Master, you're awake. Jing Ling'er's snoozing star eyes woke up completely because of Shangguan Ye Lin's slightly open eyes.

"Why am I here?" As soon as his body shook slightly, he felt like a mist, the night was like a thick, with loneliness, in the huge hall of heart cultivation, the fine gauze curtain gently flickered, and Shangguan Yelin only felt that his heart was empty.

"Palace master, you were brought back by the emperor, three days ago you went to negotiate with the emperor in the camp tent in Helan, and somehow fainted, the emperor took over the fainted you from Chu Shaoling. Jing Ling'er's bright apricot eyes didn't seem to dare to look directly at Shangguan Ye Lin, and looked away slightly, as if she was hiding something.

"Chu Shaoling?" What's going on? She went to the Helan camp to negotiate and fainted in the Helan camp, what happened to Chu Shaoling? As if she remembered something, she asked, "Where is Xuanyue?"

"Your Majesty, he... He... In the Huaqing Palace. The words that want to be spoken and stop are full of incredible and inexplicable emotions.

"In Huaqing Palace?" Shangguan Ye Lin sat up slowly, took a light breath, looked away with his eyes, and asked softly, "How many times has the emperor come up in the past three days when he was in a daze in this palace?"

Jing Ling'er frowned and didn't know whether to say it or not, and under Shangguan Yelin's urgent gaze, she finally spoke, "Once." ”

"Once..."The corners of Shangguan Yelin's mouth moved, as if she wanted to laugh, but she also contained self-deprecation, slowly lifted the futon, and got out of bed, "I want to walk alone, don't follow you." One sentence stopped the palace people from following.

The dark night, ruthlessly shrouded the palace, but also gradually spread to her heart, with deep steps, slowly stepped into the Huaqing Palace, the dark palace gate did not see a person, Du Bu came to the wing, held his hands, and was about to push open the door, the bass voice she was most familiar with came out, "Dye'er, I want to canonize you as the imperial concubine." ”

Putting down the hand he was holding, he lost his eyelids, and left slowly, a voice in his heart shouted, Shangguan Yelin, Shangguan Yelin, when did you become so unconfident, is it because Jing Ling'er's words that want to speak and stop making you afraid of what you did three days ago?

She will never do anything, although she is unconscious, but she subconsciously holds Xuanyue firmly in her heart, and no one can shake it.

But why didn't she dare to push the door in? What was she afraid of, what was she afraid of, afraid that when she opened the door, she would see a scene that she didn't want to see?

Three days... What happened in those three days? Did she wake up and everything changed, why, why did it happen? What happened, who could tell her, who could tell her.

The words that Ouyang Xuanyue once said echoed in his mind, wandering again and again, "I, Ouyang Xuanyue, will be good to you for the rest of my life, for the rest of my life." ”

Xuan Yue, does what you said still count? Could it be that it was because you took over the comatose me from Chu Shaoling that I became what I am now? Could it be that the trust between us collapsed so easily?

When he lost his mind, a voice reached Shangguan Ye Lin's ears, "Are you okay?" Then a dark purple brocade robe stepped on the moon and floated behind Shangguan Ye Lin.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ye Lin was only stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently, "I'm fine." "Raise your eyes to look at the bright moon and be shocked into the sky, and your breath is as calm as a god.

"Really... Isn't it good?" The voice fell, the man slowly came to Shangguan Ye Lin's side, looked ahead, and said lightly, "Your martial arts are not weak, and I have been here for a while, but you haven't noticed me, you, are you really good?"

"What do you want to say?" Shangguan Ye Lin turned his head to look at the person beside him, and he was not a stranger with a glance, yes, he was Chu Shaoling.

"If he really cares about you, why did he only come once in the three days you were unconscious, and he stayed for less than half a pillar of incense. Dressed in a dark purple robe on the floor, the long black hair draped behind his shoulders fluttered wantonly with the breeze, just tied up with a purple ribbon, and the aura in his words was extremely cold.

As soon as the words came out, Shangguan Ye Lin seemed to have grasped something, and looked at Chu Shaoling with staring eyes, "In the past three days, you must know what happened, tell me quickly." ”

Looking at the clear eyes of the person in front of him, Chu Shaoling sighed slowly, and only after a half-sound, did he say: "Three days ago, it was I who personally handed you into Ouyang Xuanyue's arms who were unconscious, but at that time, you held my brocade clothes tightly and refused to let go, I think he had a misunderstanding because of this." ”

"Why are you there?" Shangguan Ye Lin's clear eyes revealed a little indifference, as if he had remembered another thing in his mind.
