Inside the main hall, Su Lu looked at Li Lu and frowned.

"A powerful crossbow that destroys a city?"

Li Lu nodded, his face a little grim:

"Yes, Lord Wang, the size of this strong crossbow is the size of the corner of the strong crossbow under Jia Meng, but the power of the arrows contained in it is more than half stronger, and with one blow, it can destroy a mountain bag."

Outside Jiameng Pass, Li Lu saw the power of this strong crossbow that he had to retreat to Jiameng Pass, and after discussing with Cao Hua, he agreed to let the Taixi people enter Beijing.

Su Lu leaned back on the back of the chair, and his face became difficult to look at, although he said that he was a good hand in presiding over the army, and he was invincible in every battle, but in the face of this powerful crossbow that destroyed a battlefield, the cards were also powerless.

"The Tessie mission is here this time, can you find out what is the purpose?"

Su Lu closed his eyes and pondered, and asked Li Lu.

Li Lu glanced at Su Lu, saw that Su Lu fell into deep thought, only to feel that the thousand catties of heavy burden on his shoulders had been unloaded from his body, with the prince here, there was always a way to deal with the Taixi people, so he didn't have to worry about this matter anymore.

"There are one hundred and sixty-three people in the mission this time, of which there are one hundred and forty-six people who are named guards, those who are nominal envoys are retained people, and a few are merchants."

Su Lu nodded, since he brought the merchant over, it means that he can talk, but he can't take it lightly, the Taixi people have a strong crossbow, if they are really iron-hearted, they may still kill themselves on the spot.

"How many crossbows are there for the Tessies?"

Li Lu's face turned pale: "The last general doesn't know, the Taixi people claim to have two, but according to our eyeliner reports, the Taixi people should be carrying a strong crossbow." ”

Su Lu's brows furrowed even tighter, the Tessie people carried two, why did they claim to be one.

"Okay, tomorrow I will meet the leader of the Taixi mission in the palace, and you can arrange it with Lu Zhan."

Su Lu commanded a few words, and Changning took Li Lu down.

Li Qing appeared in the main hall and asked Su Lu worriedly: "If the Taixi people bring a strong crossbow to assassinate, we can't guard against it." ”

Su Lu sighed: "Then we can't even dare to see this Taixi people, isn't this clearly telling them, we are afraid of him, the Taixi people have to inch in, put forward some unreasonable demands, what should we do?" ”

Li Qingxiu frowned, "That can't put you in danger, it's a big deal that we will start a war with the Taixi people again, and they won't be able to please them anyway." ”

Su Lu shook his head: "It's almost time for the people to die, my majesty." Since the Taixi people sent an embassy over, they must have wanted to negotiate, in Liaoxi, we broke the teeth of the Taixi people, and they knew that our bone was not easy to gnaw, so they would not start the war lightly. ”

"Besides, we're on Tessie's side, and we can be regarded as having someone to communicate with."

Li Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Joseph, when you let him go in Jiamengguan, you had this consideration. ”

Su Lu smiled helplessly: "I'll see it tomorrow, I hope Joseph can play some role." ”

Inside the Taisi people's inn.

Opposite Joseph sat the gray-haired Tessie, looking at Joseph, the Tessie's face was full of helplessness.

"Joseph, I know that you are friendly to the Han Kingdom, but this must be on the basis of ensuring the interests of my Taixi Empire, not the interests of my Taixi Empire, even if I Grace risks being punished by His Majesty the Great Emperor, I will have to fight with the Han Kingdom."

Joseph shrugged his shoulders: "Your Excellency Grace, I need to remind you that the Han country has more powerful flying birds than my Tessie, more powerful ballistae than me, and the infantry is invincible, and even the barbarians are not opponents. ”

Grace picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip: "But we have a strong crossbow, a strong crossbow that can destroy a city with one blow, this kind of weapon that is enough to change the outcome of a battle, I believe Marshal Su Lu will consider it." ”

"Okay, tomorrow you and I will go to see Marshal Su Lu, and when the time comes, he will understand the good intentions of our waiting."

On the second day, the sky became clear, the sun shone on the streets and alleys of the capital, and everything became warm.

In front of the palace of Prince Anguo, there are many guards and strict guards.

When Li Lu led Grace and Joseph to arrive, Zhou Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Ping, the waiter of the Ministry of War, also arrived at the gate of the palace.

Zhou Yuan took two steps forward and bowed to the two.

"Zhou Yuan, the waiter of the Han State Rite Department, has seen the envoys, two adults, please."

Grace's nostrils turned to the sky: "Annoyed Lord Zhou Yuan to lead the way." ”

Joseph shrugged helplessly, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Yuan: "Lord Zhou, please." ”

Zhou Yuan led the way, his heart was full of doubts, these Taixi people acted in a big way, one was very polite, and the other was arrogant and tight.

After entering the palace and passing through two side halls, he arrived at the main hall guarded by Lu Zhan.

"Lord Zhou, please come in, the prince has been waiting for a long time."

Zhou Yuan stepped aside sideways and asked Joseph and the two to go first.

Grace's nostrils were facing the sky, and he walked over in a big way, but Joseph said a few polite words to Zhou Yuan, and then followed Grace into the main hall.

"Two envoys, please be seated."

Sulu glanced at Grace and spoke.

"Joseph, I haven't seen you for more than a year, but your Excellency is still the same."

Joseph hurriedly saluted Su Lu: "Joseph has seen the prince, for more than a year, I have traveled between Taixi and the barbarians, and I have also visited General Cao Hua who guarded Liaoxi many times, but unfortunately I still failed to negotiate a treaty, so I can only come to see the prince." ”

Su Lu sat down on the chair in the middle, smiling and squinting:

"What, is there anything too harsh about your treaty that Cao Hua is unwilling to sign?"

Grace grabbed ahead of Joseph and said: "No, not at all, all the terms are based on the comparison of military forces between you and me, and there is nothing harsh at all. ”

Zhou Ping opened his mouth and said: "I have read that clause before, and it is impossible for my Heavenly Dynasty Han Kingdom to sign such a clause with you, a failed country, Taixi Barbarian." ”

"It is too harsh to sell no less than 100 kilograms of special metals to your country every month, to recognize the land of the barbarians as under the jurisdiction of Taixi, and to prohibit the army from leaving the Jiameng Pass."

Zhou Yuan reprimanded the arrogant Grace mercilessly, he just saw that this old man was not pleasing to the eye, and now seize the opportunity, he must count it well.

Grace smiled coldly: "I'm not here to discuss with you whether it is harsh or not, I came this time to let you see the new type of strong crossbow newly created by my Taixi Academy of Sciences, the strong crossbow that destroyed the city in one blow." ”

"I believe that after seeing that strong crossbow, you will change your minds."

Zhou Ping snorted coldly: "This is to use power to make my Han Kingdom succumb, daydreaming!" ”

Su Lu waved his hand and said helplessly: "Joseph, if the envoys of your country have such an attitude, I am afraid that this peace negotiation will not be successful, and we still have to see the truth on the battlefield, and whoever can win the battle will have the final say." ”

A red glint flashed in Grace's eyes, but then it disappeared, and the arrogance in her tone dissipated a lot.

"Lord Sulu, what do you say, how are we going to talk?"

Su Lu stretched out his hand and said: "Your Excellency Grace, then we will open the skylight, your country will send two people here, what kind of result do you want to achieve in the end, you might as well say it, if I can be the master to agree, I will promise you, if not, then the king will send you back to China, and we will see the real chapter on the battlefield." ”

Grace's face changed, and she glanced at Joseph.

"Okay, lord, then I'll tell me my purpose this time......
