In the main hall of the palace, Su Lu sat on the main seat, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Ping accompanied the two attendants on the right side, and the two Taixi envoys sat on the left side.

Grace put away her arrogance and spoke slowly:

"Marshal Sulu, Grace admires the invincibility of the army under your command, but the manpower is sometimes exhausted, and the marshal already knows the dependence of my Taixi people."

"This time, His Majesty the Emperor of my empire said that the special gold must be negotiated higher, according to the previous contract, it is no longer suitable, and the number of trade must be doubled, because my Taixi's strong crossbow is no longer the same as the strong crossbow when the treaty was signed."

With a smile on her face, Grace looked at Su Lu and said.

Zhou Yuan's face turned red, this is chì luǒ naked contempt, in front of you, I told you that my strong crossbow has become powerful, and it doesn't count if I used to be soft, but now I want to get angry and hit you in the face.

Zhou Ping took the case: "However, your country is so faithless and unrighteous. ”

Joseph said beside him: "A big fist is the truth, my lord, be cautious." ”

Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for Grace to continue.

Grace glanced at Su Lu in surprise, he didn't have any anger at all, or did he say that now that the mining technology of the Han Kingdom has advanced, the amount of special gold available for sale has increased.

Clearing his throat, Grace continued: "West of Jiameng Pass, it is the place where my Taixi people have the final say, your country must withdraw the military forces west of Jiameng Pass, if there is a war situation, your ** army should be subject to the ruling of my Taixi people." ”

"I, Taixi, suffered a lot of losses in the last war, and the strong crossbow was destroyed, my lord, should your country make some compensation?"

Grace looked at Su Lu and said in a smug tone.

There was silence in the main hall, only the heavy gasps of Zhou Yuan and Zhou Ping.

Su Lu sighed: "Your Excellency Grace, please continue. ”

Grace was happy in her heart, Su Lu didn't even mean to object, it seems that the Han Kingdom does not value the land of barbarians, but can make a fuss.

"Your country is fighting with the Inter Empire, and in the future, in the war situation related to the Intert, your country must stand on the same front as my Taixi."

"In the trade between the two countries, your country must issue the most favored nation treatment to our merchants, and the tax shall be implemented in accordance with the regulations on the taxation of foreign commerce formulated by our Taixi."

"To carry out military and technological exchanges, your country must share the latest bird manufacturing technology, ballista manufacturing technology, and military training code with our Taixi Empire, and must not hide smuggling."

……

Grace gushed and spoke, the more she talked, the more excited she became, and her spit flew, as if he were the master of this palace, and the Tessie were already the victorious nation.

Su Lu shook his head: "Your Excellency Grace, your country has too many requirements, just looking at your requirements, it seems that the defeated country last time was not you Taixi, but my Han country." ”

"There is no room for discussion about the conditions you mentioned, Your Excellency should please go back, my Han Kingdom will be vigorously preparing for a big war."

Grace's face changed, and she secretly scolded her mother in her heart, you didn't let out a single fart just now, I thought you were succumbing to the crossbow, but I didn't expect that you would drive me away without even giving me a chance.

Joseph hurriedly stood up and said: "The prince is angry, and it is not a good thing for anyone for the two countries to meet each other. Although my Taixi infantry army is not strong enough, you should know that the strong crossbow has the ability to change the tide of battle. ”

"Some of these terms mentioned by Lord Grace are negotiable, and I hope the prince can consider them carefully."

Grace also stood up: "Marshal Su Lu, we are here this time with a strong crossbow, it is better to do this, tomorrow I invite Your Majesty and all the adults to appreciate the power of the strong crossbow, and then we will talk again." ”

Zhou Ping stood up indignantly: "Don't talk about it anymore, the prince has already said, let you go back, we are ready to fight, are the two ears funny." ”

Zhou Yuan pulled Zhou Ping's sleeve and said politely: "Two envoys, since you have the heart to show it, it is better to do this, there is a stone mountain in the southeast of my capital, I will send someone to guide you, and your country can release the strong crossbow there." ”

Joseph's eyes lit up, and he rushed in front of Grace and said, "Okay, tomorrow at noon, we will release the crossbow on time, and I hope you can be there." ”

With that, the two turned and retired.

Su Lu looked at the backs of the two and sighed again.

"The country is weak and bullied!"

"Within the range of the ballista, what we say is the truth."

Zhou Ping stood aside, silent, he was a little impulsive just now, he was really dizzy by Grace's unreasonable request, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that he has gone too far.

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, then what should we do next?" ”

Su Lu's voice was low: "Tomorrow I will take Your Majesty to the city to watch, as for the follow-up reception, Your Majesty and I will not come forward again, and the two of you will be fully responsible." ”

The two of them looked stunned, and at the same time arched their hands, their bodies bent slightly, and looked at Su Lu respectfully, what the prince said next is the bottom line of my Han Kingdom.

"In this peace talks, the trading volume of special gold can be doubled, but the price must be increased, and it is up to our country to decide, the greater the demand, the higher the price, and the specific price, how high you can negotiate."

"As for the request to withdraw from the barbarian land, you can agree. Our country has reached a tacit understanding with Xiaolun Gongpo, he will no longer eat people, our country will support him against the rest of the barbarians, as our forces in the land of the barbarians, but the barbarians are barbarians after all, and the original blood debt will be repaid sooner or later, so we will play them first. ”

"As for standing on the same side as Taixi, on the condition that it does not harm the interests of our Han Kingdom, I can agree to him."

"Trade is possible, but we have the final say on which gateway to issue and what the tax is, and this cannot be compromised."

"To carry out military exchanges, this can be promised, but the latest technology sharing, can not be unilateral, my Han country does not have a strong crossbow manufacturing technology, if the Taixi people are willing to provide, we can take the latest bird manufacturing technology, ballista manufacturing technology to exchange, two for one, they do not suffer."

Zhou Yuan and Zhou Ping bowed down and agreed.

On the second day, Su Lu Li Qingtong led the hundred officials of the imperial court to climb the city wall of the Han Kingdom and look at the East Mountain.

At the foot of the east mountain, the escorts of the Taixi people had all arrived, and they were pulling open the big black cloth they were carrying with the car, revealing a small strong crossbow, and the dense crossbow arrows on the strong crossbow flashed with a cold and refreshing luster.

Grace looked arrogantly at the Han army around him and asked Ping Qi, the leader of the Han army.

"General Pingqi, can we fire a crossbow now?"

Ping Qi glanced up at the sun and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency Grace, please take care of yourself, we are only responsible for accompanying you, and do not interfere with the actions of your envoys, please take care of everything."

Grace snorted coldly and glanced at Joseph next to him.

Joseph nodded: "You can start, level this hill, and the city over there should be visible." ”

Grace waved his hand: "Open the crossbow"

The Tessie Army got busy, and pressed their hands on the handle behind the crossbow.

The creaking of the bowstring was endless, but in a moment, the crossbow arrows that were originally just neatly arranged opened one after another, and the square arrangement of crossbow arrows instantly turned into an open hedgehog.

"Put"

Grace gave the order, and the crossbow bolts shot out in front of him.

"Buzz"

The air was filled with the trembling sound of crossbow arrows.
