The county lord of Huanyan actually came to negotiate peace in person, and the people in the tent were all surprised, Ma Wei had never seen her, but he could guess it, and couldn't help but sit up straight on the chair, and the warriors guarding the door also noticed something in the silence, and did not come forward to search his body, but retreated in unison.

Xu Ji also didn't expect it, stunned there, a little overwhelmed.

Gao Shengze was originally the official guarding the door in the palace, and he recognized the county lord of Huanyan, and when he saw the descendants of the Zhang family at first glance, he was horrified, and his knees were involuntarily weak, and he couldn't stand on the ground, and he regretted it in a blink of an eye, and he didn't dare to get up when he thought about it, and he was very embarrassed.

Kou Daogu is the most calm person, although he has just expressed his allegiance to King Liang and turned his head to see the old master, he did not blush at all, he bowed his hands, and was the first to speak, and said flatly: "Kou Daogu greets the county lord." ”

Lord Huanyan nodded to the accompanying civil official, signaled him to stay at the door, and then stepped forward, and the four warriors looked at King Liang, without getting an obvious signal, but they didn't dare to step forward to stop it.

The county lord of Huanyan took a few steps and stopped, and said to Kou Daogu: "Please ask Mr. Kou to introduce you on your behalf." ”

Kou Daogu arched his hand, then turned around and said, "King Qibing Liang, this ......"

"No need." Ma Wei coughed and said that he was going to step off the stage to greet the guests.

Gao Shengze, who had always been with King Liang, didn't react at this time, and it wasn't until the second time the cough came that he jumped up suddenly, ran to the front of the stage like a lost dog, and took out the stool in a hurry.

King Liang stepped on the stool and walked off the stage, glanced at Gao Shengze, the old eunuch whimpered, was ashamed, took a few steps back, hid in the shadows and licked his wounds, ready to fight again.

King Liang came, and Xu Ji and Kou Daogu gave way to both sides.

"It's really unexpected that the county lord came to negotiate peace." King Liang smiled.

"Rather than having someone else pass on the word, which is a waste of time and difficult to trust each other, it is better for me to come in person and save a lot of trouble."

"Hey, the county lord personally entered the enemy camp, and he can be called a heroine."

"It's better for King Liang to restore the cause of his ancestors by himself."

King Liang smiled, this is his favorite words, especially from the mouth of another "hero", "Since the county lord is here, I won't hide it, let's put it bluntly: 300,000 Liang troops are here, whether the county lord welcomes it or not, I will lead the army into Yecheng within three days, and the so-called peace is discussed after entering the city." ”

Lord Huanyan smiled slightly, "I understand, let me say it bluntly: Yecheng can only give King Liang a pardon." ”

King Liang laughed loudly.

The county lord of Huanyan was unmoved, and continued: "As a gratitude, not a condition, the imperial court will officially canonize the king of Liang, and there is no shortage of gold and jade, and the king's costume and drum music. ”

King Liang sneered twice, his gaze turned, and stopped at Kou Daogu, "What does Mr. Kou think?" ”

This is not to ask for opinions, but to let Kou Daogu make a choice in public, King Liang has seen enough of the superficial allegiance, and he wants a clearer answer.

Kou Daogu hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "The prince of Jibei is not right, and the throne he canonized is difficult to be recognized by the people of the world, this so-called lie. ”

King Liang smiled slightly, this was exactly what he wanted to hear, "I'm sorry, I can't accept the county lord's kindness." ”

Huan Yan looked at Kou Daogu and didn't say anything to him, "Please ask King Liang to ask the opinions of the others again." ”

King Liang turned around, his gaze swept over Xu Ji, and said loudly: "Chang Shi! ”

The old eunuch ran out of the shadows, after a period of licking, the wound that burst out because of the sudden sight of the royal descendants has healed, he first knelt down and kowtowed to King Liang, and then got up and said: "Yecheng is already in the palm of King Liang, what Yecheng can provide is nothing more than early and late fall, early fall may save life, late fall will inevitably be in a different place, the so-called canonization of the throne, is not worth mentioning." ”

King Liang hummed coldly, forgave the old eunuch for his gaffe just now, and finally said to Xu Ji: "What does Xu Gongzi think?" ”

"The strong fight each other, and every inch of land must be fought."

King Liang was a little surprised, "Xu Gongzi also thinks that I shouldn't accept Yecheng's canonization?" ”

"On the contrary, when I say 'every inch of land counts,' I mean don't give up even the slightest benefit. Now the heroes stand side by side, there are many kings, all of them are self-reliant, if the king of Liang is canonized, he can surpass the kings, although there is only one point, but this point, but it is extremely precious. ”

King Liang laughed, "More precious than thousands of troops and horses, and the grain and grass in the city?" ”

"Thousands of troops can be recruited, the city can be taken from grain and grass, but the king with a different surname canonized by the Tiancheng Dynasty does not want to have it."

"Hey, as an assassin, Xu Gongzi's remarks are a bit against his will, right?"

"At the beginning, the assassination was for myself, but now it is for King Liang, which is naturally different."

"For me?" King Liang laughed again.

Kou Daogu on the other end spoke: "Isn't Ning Baoguan in Jiangdong already canonized?" As long as the army is in the city, it doesn't seem too difficult to get canonized. ”

Liang Wang nodded slightly, feeling that Kou Daogu's words were added in time.

The county lord of Huanyan said: "Ning Baoguan was not canonized, after he surrendered, he was given the position of a general, until the emperor died, the title of King Ning is still self-proclaimed, and he can't take out the golden jade." ”

"That's because King Liang feels that canonization is not important, and I coincide with him on this point." King Liang sighed lightly, "I'm very sorry to let the county lord run for nothing." I will send someone to escort the county lord back to the city, the Liang army is the army of the king, and the siege of the city must be above board. ”

Lord Huanyan didn't want to leave like that, "I want to talk to King Liang alone." ”

"Unless the county lord can come up with a condition that I can't refuse—though I can't think of what it will be, there seems to be no need to talk about it again."

"Is King Liang worried about me assassinating?"

King Liang laughed twice, knowing that this was a radical method, but he still nodded and said, "Okay." ”

This is a clear signal, and the people in the tent have withdrawn, behind the high Shengze Palace.

Xu Ji glanced at King Liang and Lord Huanyan before leaving, and there was no sign of reconciliation on the faces of the two.

There were many guards outside the tent, and Yecheng's entourage was also there, and they were all taken aback when they saw that the county lord did not come out, the civil official comforted everyone, and then walked in front of Xu Ji alone, and said in a low voice: "In the imperial history, Cheng Dou Mian, thank you Xu Gongzi for your righteous help." ”

"I'm the Yecheng Emissary." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"Yecheng's envoy may not speak for Yecheng." Dou Mian deliberately raised his voice so that Kou Daogu who was not far away could hear it.

Xu Ji had no intention of mocking others, pointing to the tent, "County Lord......"

Dou Mian frowned deeply, shook his head and said: "I don't know what the county lord thinks, to be honest, Yecheng really has nothing to offer except for canonization, so you can't give up the throne, right?" ”

The situation is critical, and even Yecheng's own officials are not shy about speaking.

Xu Ji's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed what Huanyan County would use to buy King Liang, and he couldn't help but be both surprised and admired.

Dou Mian looked at the tent and muttered in a low voice: "For the sake of Yecheng, the county lord is really ...... Alas, how good would it be if the county lord were the prince? Even if it's a prince, it's not ......"

He was embarrassed to speak, and Gao Shengze next to him tried his best to clear up his relationship with the Zhang family at this time, and said with a smile: "If the county lord marries King Liang, many problems can be solved, and King Liang will still enter the city, but he will always leave some affection for the county lord's family." ”

Dou Mian also had such thoughts in his heart, but he didn't want to hear outsiders say, so he said angrily: "The rest of the sentence is castrated, there is nothing under the step, there is no virtue in the mouth, and there is no shame in the heart." ”

Gao Shengze's face was red, "Lord Dou doesn't have to show off his tongue here, when Yecheng is broken, what you step under may not be able to be saved, let's say goodbye to it in the past two days." ”

The two glared angrily, Dou Mian went out of the city to negotiate peace, after all, the dwarf was one, and he didn't dare to scold anymore, so he lowered his head and walked back to his own side.

Gao Shengze sneered and said to Xu Ji: "There are such people in the world, if they don't hit the south wall and don't look back, once they turn back, they will inevitably grovel, even more than us people." ”

Xu Ji smiled.

"Waiter!" King Liang shouted in the tent.

After a short meeting of separate negotiations, Gao Shengze was called, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly responded and opened the curtain to enter the account.

Kou Daogu approached Xu Ji and took the initiative to speak to him for the first time since the envoy, "In the past, I called for wind and rain, and everything was under my control, but now I am standing on my side, and the changes in the wind and clouds have nothing to do with me, how do you feel?" ”

Xu Ji smiled slightly, "This ...... It is difficult to explain to you, because you have only experienced standing on your side with your hands tied and have never mastered everything. ”

Kou Daogu was not angered by this sentence, "King Liang still has some old affection for you, but after tonight's events, he should wake up and understand who you are loyal to." ”

Gao Shengze ran out of the tent, didn't say anything to anyone, and left with a serious face, as if to summon someone.

Xu Ji said: "Choosing a king is a big deal, everyone wants to follow the Ming Lord, I hope Your Excellency will think carefully, and don't rashly throw yourself to a certain king just because you want to be my enemy." ”

"Don't worry."

"Your Excellency is also a person, and I can't bear to see Your Excellency disappear in troubled times."

Kou Daogu sneered, walked away a few steps, and refused to talk to Xu Ji again.

It didn't take long for Gao Shengze to hurry back with one person.

Guo Shifeng's identity is the envoy of King Ning, although he cares about the negotiation between King Liang and Yecheng, but he has never had the opportunity to participate, he was suddenly called, very surprised, and then saw Xu Ji and others guarding outside the tent, he couldn't help but be even more surprised, he didn't have time to ask, he stepped into the tent, Gao Shengze stayed outside, and did not follow up.

This conversation took a little longer than everyone expected, and even Gao Shengze and Kou Daogu began to wonder, what kind of conditions could the county lord of Huanyan put forward that made King Liang hesitate so much, and even called King Ning's envoy?

Guo Shifeng walked out of the tent, and from his face, no one could see the clue.

"Young Master Xu, please come in."

Gao Shengze was even more shocked, King Liang did not call his own people in, but continued to summon outsiders, very suspicious, in order to show the heart of the protector, he followed behind Xu Ji and whispered: "I have to take a look......"

King Liang was pacing back and forth in the tent, and the county lord of Huanyan was standing in the distance, looking like there was no threat, Gao Shengze hurriedly shrank his head and withdrew from the tent, feeling more and more confused.

Ma Wei strode towards Xu Ji, stared at him for a while, and after confirming that he didn't know, he spoke: "What do you think of the county lord giving up Yecheng and taking the emperor to Bingzhou?" ”

Even if he had guessed a few points in his heart, hearing this, Xu Ji was still taken aback.
