Chapter 445: Surprised

The Han messenger asked the other messengers to stay with Xiao Yao, and asked the guards of more than 100 people to protect the mission led by Xiao Yao in the same place outside the city of Yecheng, and then he immediately rode back to Yecheng alone and went straight in the direction of the palace!

When the Han messenger took Gao Wei's token and rushed into the palace unimpeded, at this time, Emperor Gao Wei happened to have a court meeting with the ministers of Qi in the court!

"Tell Your Majesty that Messenger Han has returned, and he is outside the palace at this time, and he also said that there is a very urgent matter to report to Your Majesty secretly?" A eunuch walked in in a panic and said to Gao Wei.

"Messenger Han? Didn't he go to Xuzhou to send a letter to that Xiao Shilang? Why did you come back so soon? And what is so urgent? Could it be about Xiao Shilang? Gao Wei looked at Han Changluan and asked with a strange expression.

"Messenger Han went to Xuzhou to deliver a letter at the behest of His Majesty, but he came back so soon, this matter must be about Xiao Shilang, and about Xiao Shilang, we didn't tell the other ministers, let's let Messenger Han enter the inner room to talk about it in detail!" Han Changluan was also full of doubts, so he suggested that Gao Wei say.

So, Gao Wei and Han Changluan didn't say anything, they turned around and returned to the inner room, leaving only the group of ministers sitting on the court with a confused face, looking at each other and puzzled.

"Messenger Han, have you arrived in Xuzhou and met Xiao Shilang? And His Majesty's letter, did you hand it over to him yourself? Why did you come back so soon, and said that there was something urgent, what was the matter? Is it that Xiao Shilang doesn't negotiate with us, or does he not dare to come to our Yecheng in person? Han Changluan asked anxiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, General Han, your subordinates have arrived in Xuzhou, and handed over Your Majesty's letter to General Xiao in person, and then General Xiao also read His Majesty's letter carefully in front of us!" Messenger Han said nervously.

"Then after Xiao Yao read my letter, what kind of reaction did he have? Does he dare to come to Yecheng in person to hold armistice peace talks with us? Gao Wei also asked nervously,

General Xiao said on the spot that in order for the two countries to cease war as soon as possible and let the people live a stable and peaceful life again, he is willing to come to Yecheng in person to conduct peace talks with us! Merely... "The Han messenger is still organizing the language.

"Great! This Xiao Shilang really dared to come to Yecheng to negotiate with us in person, as long as he came in person, then those ministers outside would have no reason to doubt the sincerity of Chen Guo's peace talks, and we can also believe that Xiao Shilang really wants to stop fighting with us! Hearing that Xiao Yao was willing to come to Yecheng, Gao Wei immediately jumped up excitedly, completely ignoring the three words behind the Han messenger, after all, he also hoped to have a truce and peace talks with Chen Guo, as long as he didn't fight, then he could always rule in Qi State safely and worry-free, and continue to enjoy the life of a lascivious and lascivious emperor!

"Then did Xiao Yao say when he would come to Yecheng? But since you said that he immediately promised to come to Yecheng in person, presumably he also wants to settle the truce with us as soon as possible, and it is estimated that he will come to Yecheng soon! It seems that we also have to prepare in advance, receive this Xiao Shilang well and how to negotiate with this Xiao Shilang when the time comes! Han Changluan also said happily.

"Your Majesty, General Han! That, General Xiao, he's already here! At this moment, he is outside Yecheng, waiting for us to send someone to officially welcome him into the city! Messenger Han said with a bitter face.

"What? Do you say it again? Xiao Yao has already come, and now he has already arrived outside Yecheng? Gao Wei was a little stunned.

"Xiao Yao has already come to Yecheng? Why did he come to Yecheng so suddenly? What the hell is this all about? Han Changluan was also taken aback.

"This, tell Your Majesty, General Xiao rushed back to Yecheng with his subordinates! He said that because there are actually many people in Chen State who do not want to have a truce with our Qi State, but want to continue to send troops to attack Qingzhou and Yanzhou in our Great Qi, so General Xiao wants to sign the armistice agreement as soon as possible in order to stop these people from instigating and instigating in front of Emperor Chen. Therefore, General Xiao said that he would follow his subordinates to Yecheng, negotiate an armistice and peace agreement with us as soon as possible, and if the negotiations were completed one day earlier, the troops would be collected one day earlier! Han Messenger explained.

"This, that's ridiculous, isn't it? This Xiao Yao, why did he come to Yecheng so suddenly? Now the two countries are going to hold armistice and peace talks, but it's not him Xiao Shilang who came to Yecheng to play! Gao Wei said with a shocked face.

"Although I have long heard that this Xiao Shilang is completely reckless in his actions, and he does not follow the rules and regulations when fighting, I didn't expect him to be so unexpected, and he followed this group of messengers to Yecheng without a sound, and he really caught us off guard!" Han Changluan also said in great surprise.

"Your Majesty, General Han, now General Xiao is still waiting outside the city for us to welcome him into the city! We have to arrange this as soon as possible, otherwise if he waits too long, he will lose the etiquette of our country and the demeanor of a great country! When his subordinates entered the city just now, General Xiao also said that in order for the two people to live a stable life as soon as possible, he was willing to bear the hardships he had endured in the past two days without stopping to come to Yecheng, but now that he has arrived in Yecheng, then he can represent them Chen Guo, and he can't enter the capital of our Qi country casually, he must enter Yecheng ceremoniously in accordance with the etiquette of the two countries, otherwise he will lose the national prestige of Chen Guo! Han Messenger reminded.

"Han Aiqing, then, what should I do now?" Gao Wei looked at Han Changluan without any idea and asked.

"This, this, our top priority is to immediately welcome Xiao Yao into the city in accordance with the etiquette of the envoys sent by the two countries, and then settle him down, as for other matters, we will discuss them slowly!" Han Changluan couldn't think of any good advice for a while, so he could only say step by step.

"Okay, then you immediately send someone to welcome Xiao Yao into the city outside the city, it doesn't matter if the ceremony is grand, after all, people are so sincere to come to Yecheng to negotiate a truce and peace with us in person!" Gao Wei commanded.

"Your Majesty, welcoming Xiao Yao into the city is a big deal, so we must discuss it with the ministers outside!" Messenger Han reminded again.

"That's right! We invited Xiao Yao to Yecheng, we haven't told the ministers outside, mainly to prevent these ministers from sabotaging it, after all, many of them are very suspicious and dissatisfied with the peace talks proposed by Xiao Yao this time, and they even want to continue to fight with Chen State, and want to recapture Xuzhou and even Huainan! If they knew in advance that Xiao Yao was coming to Yecheng, they would definitely make an obstacle and secretly make a mistake to sabotage the peace talks between us and Chen Guozi this time! Han Changluan also said with a disdainful face.

"Okay, when they know that Xiao Yao has come to Yecheng and has a truce and peace talks with us, they will definitely be surprised! Hum! These people know that they are reckless, and they are always shouting that they want to constantly fight with the Zhou State and the Chen State, so they don't think about the people of the world, why can't they think that we can't defeat the Zhou State and the Chen State every year, but the national strength of our Qi State is constantly declining! Gao Wei also rarely said such a thing that Mingjun should say.
