His Royal Highness Qin took the words kindly, and did not take a tone of voice, Ji Nuo is a smart person, so naturally he will not hide it anymore, and directly tell the requirements of the Emperor of Northern Qi and the price he can pay.

"Your Highness, the emperor hopes that the Great Qin side can support him and let him sit on the throne. The emperor can hand over the generals who led the troops fifteen years ago. Ji Nuo's expression was flat when he spoke, but he secretly paid attention to Qin Shiyan's expression, for fear that Qin Shiyan would be dissatisfied. After all, Qin Xiaoyan had always secretly investigated fifteen years ago, and he definitely didn't want people to know.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Qin was not dissatisfied, and of course he had no other expression, his calm and indifferent expression made it impossible to see from his face that his feelings had changed.

Qin Shiyan said indifferently: "There are only a few generals, this is the sincerity of the Emperor of Northern Qi?"

Qin Xiaoyan was obviously dissatisfied, and Ji Nuo said again: "The emperor said, if His Royal Highness Qin still wants anything, just ask, as long as the emperor can do it, he will definitely not refuse." ”

Ji Nuo didn't hesitate when he said this, and from Qin Shiyan's expression, Ji Nuo could be sure that His Royal Highness Qin was not like a person who would ask for a price.

Indeed, Qin Xiaoyan would not do the stupid thing of asking for half of the Northern Qi, what he wanted would definitely be within the acceptable range of the Northern Qi Emperor, of course, there were only so many things he did.

"List the officials of the Empress Dowager's faction of Northern Qi, and this king will handle it for him. As for the king's request? Qin was silent for a moment and looked at Ji Nuo: "Three cities, this king wants three cities in Northern Qi, all the people, officers and soldiers in the city will move out within half a year, and this king will send someone to take over." ”

"Your Highness, this request ...... Please forgive us for not being able to say yes. Ji Nuo hurriedly got up, looking embarrassed, "It's not a trivial matter to cede the three cities, especially if you have full control, in case you ...... "You are hoarding heavy troops in the city, wouldn't Northern Qi lure wolves into the house."

"Don't worry, Master Ji, this king's words haven't been finished yet." Qin Shiyan got up, went around to the desk and took out a piece of parchment, and then spread it in front of Ji Nuo, "This king doesn't want the city of Northern Qi, as long as the border is not a fortress city." ”

Qin Xiaoyan casually drew a piece on the map, that piece of land was the extreme north of the Northern Qi Dynasty, where there was no grass and no people.

"Are Your Highness sure?" Ji Nuo frowned, unable to understand what Qin Shiyan's move meant.

The Northern Qi Dynasty was a nomadic people, only the inner city and the grassland were rich, and most of the cities on the border were deserted, and there were not necessarily 10,000 people in a city.

"This king can be his own master, can Ji Gongzi be the emperor's master?" Qin Shiyan sat back on the top seat and waited for Ji Nuo to give an answer.

"It's a matter of land, Ji really can't be the master, and I ask His Royal Highness to allow me to return to the emperor." Ji Nuo can call the shots, but he doesn't want to show too much in front of Qin Shiyan, he always feels that Qin Shiyan seems to know something, otherwise it would be impossible to be so courteous to him.

Yes, courtesy!

From beginning to end, Qin Xiaoyan did not treat him as a lowly merchant, although he was not polite in his conversation, he was not contemptuous or arrogant, and gave him a little respect, and even when he entered the house, King Qin did not say half a word.

"Then go ahead and ask." Qin Xiaoyan didn't care if he could get an answer today, he was in Northern Qi and the matter was not in a hurry at this moment.

"I don't know which three cities King Qin wants?" Ji Nuo presented the map to Qin Shiyan, "Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear that Ji Mou can also return to the emperor." ”

"Qiancheng, come here." Qin Shiyan didn't look at the map, as if he didn't take the matter of the three cities to heart.

Ji Nuo was very puzzled, and looked at Qin Xiaoyan with a shocked expression, should King Qin want that Gu girl to decide, which three cities he wants, right?

King Qin also spoiled the girl too much.

Gu Qiancheng was also taken aback: Could it be that Qin Shiyan guessed something?

Looking up at Qin Xiaoyan, but there was no abnormality, Gu Qiancheng had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and slowly stepped forward, when passing by Ji Nuo's side, Gu Qiancheng couldn't help but pause and inhaled hard.

"Girl, what's wrong?" Ji Nuo was puzzled, and hurriedly took a step back to distance the two.

He really didn't want to get too close to His Highness Qin's sweetheart, it was dangerous!

"No," Gu Qiancheng shook his head: "It's just that I heard that the third princess often reminded Ji Gongzi, and I couldn't help but be a little curious." ”

After Gu Qiancheng finished speaking, he stepped forward without waiting for Ji Nuo to ask, "Your Highness......"

Qin Xiaoyan didn't see the interaction between Gu Qiancheng and Ji Nuo, and pointed to the map of Northern Qi and said, "Pick three cities." ”

It's not a commanding tone, but it's impossible to refuse.

"You let me pick? What if you pick three ruined cities? Gu Qiancheng looked at Qin Xiaoyan with a smile, she knew that Qin Shanyan knew, but she didn't say Qin Xiaoyan and treated it as if she didn't know, and regarded this matter as a tacit little secret between the two.

"If the city is destroyed, the city will be wasted, and this king doesn't care." Qin Xiaoyan said it magnificently, but the corners of Ji Nuo's mouth twitched.

If you really don't care, don't ask for three cities, you want something else!

Compared with the territory, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty was more willing to give up some money, after all, no matter how poor the country was, it would not be poor enough for the emperor, and the problems that could be solved with silver were not a problem, but it was a pity......

Whether it was Gu Qiancheng or Qin Siyan, they didn't hear Ji Nuo's heart, Qin Siaoyan trusted unconditionally, it was impossible for Gu Qiancheng not to pay attention to it, looking at the map of Northern Qi, his mind had begun to memorize the "Chronicles of the Yi Kingdom".

Although the first half of "Yiguo Zhi" did not record any treasures, ancient tombs, and strange cities, it recorded the geography of the mountains and rivers of the continent.

It's just that the place names written in the "Chronicles of Yi Guo" have a way out from the place names called by the Three Kingdoms now, Gu Qiancheng needs time to check, and this point is in Ji Nuo's eyes, that is, Gu Qiancheng is worried in his heart, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while.

In this way, Ji Nuo dispelled the doubts in his heart, and only thought that Qin Silent wanted three cities, not against Northern Qi but to use it to develop his own power.

Ji Nuo guessed that Qin Lianyan wanted to borrow the three cities of Northern Qi to arrange his henchmen, but it was more because of ......

He knows Gu Qiancheng, knows how many treasures Gu Qiancheng has hidden in his heart, and Gu Qiancheng picks three cities for him, and he only makes money and does not lose.

In any case, Qin Xiaoyan is his own person, Gu Qiancheng will not let him suffer, after checking the map of Northern Qi and the places written in the "Yiguo Chronicles" one by one, Gu Qiancheng quickly picked out three cities that intersected with Great Qin and were connected together.

These three cities are said to be intersecting with Daqin, but in fact they are in the middle of the desert, not only separated from Daqin by a desert that does not care about both sides, but also separated from Northern Qi itself by a large desert, and it is completely a deserted city with no village in front and no store in the back.

In that area, there are five cities, all of which were built hundreds of years ago, and now they have long been deserted, and there are almost no people in the city, and even the Northern Qi garrison is not in the city, but in the city within the desert.

In such a place, even if it is a little difficult to give it away, Ji Nuo has the intention to sell Qin Xiaoyan, so he said: "Your Highness, do you still want to change it?" ”

Before it was handed over to the Emperor of Northern Qi, he still had this right, but it was a pity that ......
