The old man in cloth filled the teacup with tea in turn, and finally handed it to Qin Guogong and Lord Lu.

The two of them hurriedly got up and took it and said thank you with a smile, as if they had been old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

A good start is half the battle.

If the patriarch of the Beiyi clan can treat them like this, it can be considered friendly, so the next negotiations should be very smooth.

Not only Lord Lu thinks so, but Qin Guogong also thinks so.

It's a pity that Yan Yuan thinks they are all too naïve.

Sure enough, after the old man in cloth briefly introduced himself, he went straight to the point, "Lao Suo is the patriarch of a clan, so he naturally wants to work for the welfare of the clan." If you can come up with better bargaining chips than Nanyu, Lao Su doesn't mind changing allies. ”

Qin Guogong didn't expect him to say such a thing straight to the point, and he almost choked on the imported tea just after drinking it.

Lord Lu also looked surprised.

Yan Yuan said: "The old man is refreshing, then I won't beat around the bush." Please also ask the old man to make conditions, I think you also know that we can't be the master, and we have to write a secret fold into Beijing to ask the emperor for instructions... However, the Dadu Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and it will never go back on what it has promised, unlike the Six Princes and the like who act in despicable ways. ”

The old man in cloth looked a little embarrassed, presumably thinking of his granddaughter's calculation by the six princes.

After a while, he said: "The emperor of Dadu is a person, Lao Su knows." Back then, he got the token of the monarch of the Western Underworld, but he never used it to blackmail the monarch of the Western Underworld, even if he was besieged by the Hu people in Tongzhou for a long time, he still sent an envoy to negotiate with Yili, and Miss Qin Wu even helped the Western Underworld get out of trouble regardless of previous suspicions..."

After that, he looked at Qin Guogong and said with a smile: "Your descendants of the Qin family are really good!"

Qin Guogong said without modesty: "That's nature. ”

Lord Lu didn't expect that this inconspicuous old man actually knew a lot about the affairs of this dynasty, and it seemed that he had done enough work.

Yan Yuan said: "If the battle of Tongzhou wasn't for the old man's action, presumably the Hu clan would not have the courage to be embarrassed with Nanyu now." What the old man did at that time... Alas, there is something wrong with it!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Guogong was taken aback.

How can there be such a straightforward accusation against the other party? What if he annoys the old man in front of him?

But the old man in cloth did not brush his sleeves away, but stroked the white beard on his chin and smiled calmly, "The young man is right, at that time, Lao Suo remembered his old friend, and he was moved by compassion to save the female Khan King and General Yeqi of the Hu tribe. ”

This was beyond Qin Guogong's expectations, no one had a bad face, especially if the other party was still the head of a clan, and if it was good, he and others were here to negotiate with him, and if he didn't say it well, he asked for help. Yan Yuan, this kid shouldn't ask like this, and this old man shouldn't admit it like this.

But Yan Yuan seemed to know this old man very well, and nodded approvingly when he heard this, "So reasoning, the old man owes most of the favors to the people." ”

The old man in cloth smiled heartily: "It seems like this, that's why Lao Suo gave you a chance." ”

His words are not difficult to understand.

After all, now the Beiyi tribe has formed an alliance with the Southern Yu Kingdom, and his own granddaughter is still the wife of the six princes, although there is a dislike between the husband and wife, but the six princes ascend the throne on the day, and they are afraid of the power of the Beiyi tribe, even if they are unhappy, they will set up the original concubine as the queen.

But with the scheming of the six princes, he would definitely not let the original concubine give birth to a son-in-law to inherit his throne, so Xiao Shizi's move was crooked and just solved the trouble for his son.

Presumably, Concubine Yuan has already figured this out, so she did not hesitate to fight against each other to promote this meeting between the Beiyi clan and the Dadu Dynasty.

The old man in cloth was also willing to listen to the advice of the original concubine because he had saved the female Khan king at the beginning, and now he ordered most of the capital to be attacked on three sides.

These Daoist Qin Guogong and Lord Lu didn't know, but Yan Yuan clearly understood it in his heart. Long before making that suggestion, he carefully scrutinized these situations, and only informed Qin Guogong and the others when he was sure that he was eight points sure, otherwise, for the sake of safety, he would definitely persuade these two people to leave Nanyu Kingdom as soon as possible.

At that moment, Yan Yuan smiled and thanked him happily, "So we should cherish this rare opportunity, and I hope that both parties can be satisfied." ”

Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Qin Guogong drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp and said, "Then ask the patriarch to make conditions." ”

The old man in cloth glanced at him, and said slowly: "I think you all already know that Lao Suo's granddaughter is the wife of the six princes, and if nothing else, she will be the queen of Nanyu Kingdom in the future... What about the Dadu Dynasty, can you give me the same honor as the Beiyi tribe?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Guogong's face suddenly changed greatly.

The current queen of the Dadu Dynasty is his daughter Qin Li, who never thought of letting his daughter abdicate and make way for Xian...

There is no need to write a song to enter Beijing for this matter, and only he Qin Guogong will not agree.

The old man in cloth also seemed to know that some strong people were difficult, so he smiled and didn't speak again.

Lord Lu was also surprised. Unexpectedly, this old man looked easy-going, and as soon as he spoke, the lion opened his mouth. But any emperor who has a little backbone will not be crowned as the queen of a foreign woman.

The queen's son is the son-in-law, and he will inherit the throne in the future, and the children born to women of different races have impure blood, and they will be on the throne in the future.

So even if the sixth prince divorced his wife and remarried the original concubine, he still kept the bottom line and didn't want her to give birth to a son-in-law.

Yan Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "This is one of them... And what about the second one, old man, you might as well tell us all your requirements, and we can discuss, right?"

His words left room for both sides, otherwise it would have reached a stalemate at the beginning, and there would be no talk about the rest of it.

The old man in cloth smiled lightly, "The second is that the Dadu Dynasty needs to give me the privilege of business travel for the Beiyi people, and the third is to set aside the fields for the Beiyi people to farm, and send people who are proficient in crops to guide farming." ”

"What, does the patriarch want to change the life pattern of the clansmen?" Qin Guogong couldn't help but ask.

The old man in cloth nodded and sighed: "Lao Su also knows that this is a little difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, it must be changed. My Beiyi people have lived in the deep mountains and wild forests for generations, living on caracal hunting, and do not understand civilization and etiquette, and it is not conducive to the development of my Beiyi tribe for a long time... Although Lao Su is not talented, he also wants to seek a long-term peace and stability plan for his clansmen. ”

Yan Yuan was also surprised, so the previous mention between himself and Concubine Yuan that they would not involve their people in this war was actually not very convincing? I am afraid that Concubine Yuan does not know her grandfather's true thoughts.

It's just that no matter which of these three articles are more difficult to implement for the Dadu Dynasty, I believe that the same is true for the Southern Yu Kingdom. But they agreed so happily that they didn't have to think about it to understand that the six princes didn't have much sincerity.

The old man in cloth must have understood this, so he agreed to meet with the envoys of the capital.
