Chapter 438: The Messenger Arrives

Just when the two fathers and sons were carefully discussing how to make this wedding with Xu Miao grand and lively, a guard suddenly knocked on the door and said that there was something important to report, and then after coming in, he reported to Xiao Yao and said: "Report to the commander, according to intelligence, the Qi State has sent someone to Xuzhou!" ”

"They finally sent someone? I thought they looked down on me, the assassin of Xuzhou, and felt that I proposed this peace proposal instead of Chen Guo, so they didn't want to have peace talks with me! Are they all people sent by Gao Wei? Xiao Yao said with a sneer.

Because his first task now is to make Xuzhou an unbreakable territory of his own, Xiao Yao doesn't want to fight with Qi anymore, and even if he continues to fight, Chen Xu will not give him any more benefits, so Xiao Yao will naturally not waste those precious weapons and ammunition.

"Yes! They have a reply from Gao Wei's own handwriting! And yesterday has already left Yecheng, non-stop to Xuzhou side, it is estimated that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be able to rush to Xuzhou City, it seems that also attach importance to this peace talks! The guard replied.

"Good! After all, Gao Wei is the emperor of Qi State, and I took the initiative to propose peace to them this time, since now he is so sincere in proposing peace talks to me, a little Xuzhou assassin, then I naturally want to give him face! Father-in-law, let's rush back to Xuzhou City now to meet this peace negotiation team! Xiao Yao smiled at Xiao Moke and said.

"You are the assassin of Xuzhou, and you are the initiator of this peace talks, of course, you decide these things yourself, I will not interfere! My mission is simply to come here to ensure that you can no longer act recklessly, and that you will no longer be allowed to do those things that are eldersless and lawless! Xiao Moke said expressionlessly, because he was more or less mindful that Xiao Yao dared to bypass the emperor and take the initiative to propose peace talks to the Qi State this time.

"Well, since my father-in-law has no opinion on this, and our ancestor worship ceremony here in Lanling County has been completed, then we will set off immediately and rush back to Xuzhou City overnight to welcome the visitors of Qi State!" Xiao Yao immediately ordered.

。。。。。。

In the fifth year of Taijian, on March 15, a delegation of Qi came from outside Xuzhou City, and then accompanied by Huang Wenyuan, he entered the city that was still their Qi territory a few months ago, and came to the Thorn History Mansion in Xuzhou City, Xiao Yao, who was dressed in formal clothes, was already sitting on the table, waiting for their arrival.

"Participate in General Xiao! We are the messengers sent by the Emperor Qin of the Great Qi State, and we have come to Xuzhou on the orders of Your Majesty, and here is a letter written by our Great Qi Majesty, please take a look at General Xiao! The messenger said with trepidation, after all, Xiao Yao, who defeated Gao Changgong and captured the entire Xuzhou, has now been rumored to be a demon who kills people without blinking an eye in the Qi Kingdom.

"Are you messengers? Your Qi country's shelf is really big, and the armistice and peace talks between the two sides are such an important event, but only a few of you have been sent, and they are just messengers! Do you want me to negotiate with you little messengers in Xuzhou, a big Chen State? You Qi Guo are humiliating me! Hearing that this group of people from the Qi Kingdom was only holding the title of messenger, Xiao Yao was suddenly furious.

"General Xiao, please calm your anger, we are really just messengers, and we have sent this handwritten letter from our Majesty specifically for you, General Xiao! We are not the ones who came to the peace talks, and we are not qualified to do so! The messenger saw that Xiao Yao had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.

"You're just here to deliver letters, not to negotiate? What does this mean exactly? Do you Qi want to have an armistice and peace talks with me? If you don't want to, then send the army over, and the army will fight again! If you think, then you should send some qualified ministers to negotiate with us, why are you sending so many messengers just to send this letter, so I think you are here to negotiate an armistice with us! Knowing that the principle was that he recognized the wrong person, Xiao Yao said with a little embarrassment.

"Because this is a reply letter written by His Majesty to General Xiao, of course we have to pay attention to it, so we sent so many of us to escort this letter to Xuzhou and hand it over to General Xiao!" The messenger said flatteringly.

Looking at Gao Wei's handwritten letter, Xiao Yao's expression began to become very complicated, uncertain, and his skeptical expression was shown on his face, which made Xiao Moke on the side very worried.

"Is this letter really written by your Emperor Qi himself?" Xiao Yao asked coldly.

"Yes! It was written by His Majesty himself, and when it was handed over to us, it was already sealed with wax, and we didn't dare to snoop on it on the way to Xuzhou! The messenger saw that Xiao Yao's face became gloomy, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly said.

"Xiao Dudu, what is written in this reply letter written by their emperor himself? Can you also let this deputy marshal take a look! Xiao Moke opened his mouth and said, after all, there are foreign envoys, and he also has to officially call Xiao Yao's official position.

"Father-in-law, please see, this Emperor of Qi has indeed agreed to my proposal to negotiate an armistice, but he has asked me to go to Yecheng to negotiate with them in person!" Xiao Yao said a little hesitantly.

"What? They even asked you to go to Yecheng to negotiate with them in person? What is this all about! Xiao Moke was immediately furious, then took the reply letter and looked at it carefully.

After a long time, Xiao Moke suddenly slapped the reply letter on the table, pointed at the group of messengers and scolded fiercely: "You Qi State is simply too deceitful, you keep saying that you accept peace talks, but you dare to put forward such conditions!" Those who don't know really think that this battle of Xuzhou was won by your Qi country! ”

"General Xiao, please calm your anger, we, we really don't know what is written on this letter, this is a reply from His Majesty to General Xiao, we really don't know what His Majesty said to General Xiao! We're just in charge of delivering the letters! The messengers were so frightened that they fell to their knees and begged for mercy, though they did not know what had happened.

"Father-in-law, don't embarrass them, they should indeed be unaware, it is estimated that the content of this letter is also known to very few people in the Qi Kingdom, otherwise, we should have been able to find out some rumors a long time ago!" Xiao Yao sneered and continued: "I really underestimated this Gao Wei, he could even think of this method to verify the sincerity of our armistice!" ”

"Shiro, do you really believe what this letter says? This is definitely a trap that the people of Qi have set for you! It's to trick you into Yecheng, and then attack you! Keep saying that we want to see our sincerity, we have taken Xuzhou, and Qingzhou next to it can be said that it will order an attack now, and Qingzhou will be recovered tomorrow! But we still stopped, and this already shows our great sincerity for the truce! Now they have even proposed to hold peace talks in Yecheng, and they want you to go in person, isn't this a clear attempt to trick you into their territory, and then they can deal with you as they like? Xiao Moke said angrily.

Hearing that Qi Guo dared to propose that Xiao Yao personally go to Yecheng to negotiate with them, Huang Wenyuan and Lu Guangda were so angry that they couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up and asked Xiao Yao for war and said, "Commander, Qi Guo is simply teasing us!" In the world, how can a defeated country put forward an opinion to the victorious country, and it is such an unreasonable opinion! I think it's because Qi hasn't been scared by us yet, and I don't know how powerful we are! Please give the commander an order immediately, let our army attack Qingzhou immediately, and then slaughter one or two of their cities, and see if the Qi State dares to put forward such conditions again! ”
