On the twenty-first day of the first month of the second year of Tianshun, Li Guozhong, the king of Xining, and Luo Qihua, a scholar of the Military Aircraft Department, arrived in Shengjing.

That night, he stayed at the Fengtianfu Post House and prepared to negotiate the next day.

In the evening, Yin Luo Xingshan of Fengtianfu came to the post house to discuss the procedures and participants of the next day's negotiations.

As soon as the issue of procedure was discussed, a disagreement arose between the two sides.

The focus of the question is on the etiquette of meeting.

On the part of the Tianshun court, Chang'an and Jia Min insisted that they meet each other as courtesy.

The reason is very simple, now it is the Tianshun Dynasty, and Jia Min and Chang'an are courtiers and thieves.

Luo Xingshan insisted that the king of Xining and Luo Qihua meet each other as courtiers, and the reason is very simple, Chang'an is the princess of Dade, and the three feudatories are anti-thieves, and the courtiers are plotting rebellion and usurping the throne.

In fact, it is a battle over who is orthodox.

The two sides did not give in to each other, and in the end they did not argue with a result.

Differences have arisen again over who will participate in the negotiations.

The Chang'an side planned for Chang'an, King Beijing, and Ji Daxue to come forward, and Li Guozhong asked Jia Min to come forward.

Luo Xingshan said that Jia Min had made it clear that he would not participate in the negotiations because he did not belong to the party side, but only volunteers.

I stand on an impartial standpoint, and I only hit whoever is not pleasing to the eye. But Li Guozhong insisted on seeing Jia Min.

The end result is that the formal negotiations have not yet begun, and the procedural negotiations cannot be brought together.

On the second day, Luo Xingshan did not come, nor did he come on the third day. In the end, Li Guozhong couldn't hold his breath anymore, took the initiative to find Luo Xingshan, agreed to Chang'an's request, and then began negotiations.

As for the terms of the negotiations, the positions of the two sides are also very different.

The conditions on the Chang'an side were that Han Tiandou abdicated, disbanded the army of the three feudatories, removed the three feudatories, and cut off the titles of the three kings. All civil and military officials below Han Tiandou will be imprisoned and awaiting a thorough investigation.

The conditions of the Tianshun court were much simpler. It is to ask Jia Min and Chang'an to disband their soldiers and horses and accept Zhao'an. Jia Min can be appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Chang'an can be named the county lord. Other civil and military officials shall be appointed according to their original ranks.

Such conditions were unacceptable to both sides, and the negotiations reached an impasse.

The king of Xining and Luo Qihua asked to see Jia Min, but Jia Min did not see them at all. also proposed to see Jia Lian and Chen Yeqing, but the two did not see each other.

Seeing that no one from the volunteer army came out to meet, the king of Xining and Luo Qihua wanted to meet with Shaq, Wadagas, and Simari in North Windura, and wanted to divide and disintegrate Jia Min's team by making peace with them alone.

These three people, naturally, don't see them.

Unlike the official representatives, who repeatedly ran into a wall, Jiao Xing, who came in a private capacity, was relatively smooth.

After three days of waiting, I finally met Daiyu.

"Jiaoxing, I didn't want to see you at first, but I remembered that in Suzhou, you were quite respectful to me and my father at my house, so I barely saw you. I don't know your intentions, I don't want to say it, I advise you not to have any extravagant hopes. ”

Although Daiyu saw Jiaoxing, she was only polite, without any affection.

"Miss Lin, my lord is also desperate, and now I regret it, I just ask the girl to say a few kind words to the fourth master of the Jia family for the sake of the Jia family, and let my lord go."

"Jiaoxing, I also know that you are embarrassed. But I really can't help you with that. Fourth Brother Min mobilized the people this time, how much thought and effort was spent, just to avenge his sister and uncle, do you think he will let Mr. Jia go? It's that he wants to let go, can the ancestors and the people in the mansion let go? How did Fourth Brother Min explain to his soldiers? ”

"Thousands of mistakes are our fault, the girl is able to speak in the fourth master, and I also ask the girl to read the love of the past, and ask the fourth master to raise your noble hand."

"Jiaoxing, don't say that I won't intercede with you, even if I go, it's useless. Even the words of the ancestors, uncles, and aunts, Fourth Brother Min often doesn't listen to them, can they still listen to us? Go back, it's useless to see anyone. ”

While the two were talking, Zijuan came in with Ying'er.

"Miss Lin, my girl asked me to pass the word, Jiao Xing finished talking to you, you can go over to see her."

Ying'er said coquettishly.

"Jiaoxing, Miss Bao has seen you, you can go. I'm not going to say anything to you here. ”

Jiao Xing didn't have much hope, so she had to follow Ying'er.

Seeing Baochai, Jiao Xing knelt down and kowtowed.

"Jiaoxing, get up. I didn't want to see you, but you came all the way and didn't see you, and you didn't give up. It's as if we don't miss the old feelings at all. For the sake of how much you still know a little bit about things in the past, you will meet and make your words clear. ”

"I also ask Miss Bao to say a lot of kind words to the fourth master of Min, and let my master go. It's really not good, so I'll ask Miss Bao to introduce me, and I'll go kowtow to the fourth master Min to say goodbye. ”

"Jiao Xing, you are going to die of this heart, Fourth Brother Min doesn't even see King Xining and Luo Qihua, and he still meets you? If it's your own business, we'll do it for you. After all, Xiangling is in my house, and you are from the Zhen family, so you always have to remember some old feelings. ”

"But you are here for the matter of Jia Yu Village, and no one can help you in this matter. Jia Yucun is full of evil, and the sins are unforgivable, so you don't have any extravagant hopes. It's better to plan for yourself, and when the time comes, I can intercede for you and leave you a way to live. ”

"In addition, you go back and tell Jia Yucun not to beat the bad idea of the house and the people in the house, if the fourth brother Min returns to the imperial capital in the future, he finds that there is not a single grass or tree in the house, and the people are injured in the slightest, even if you go to the ends of the earth, I will never let you go."

"Jiaoxing, I've made everything clear to you, so let's go."

After Baochai finished speaking, she didn't wait for Jiao Xing's reaction, so she got up and left.

Jiao Xing was helpless, knowing that it was useless to say anything, so she had to go.

When he came to Shengjing this time, Luo Qihua was reluctant to come.

Although he came to negotiate, he knew very well in his heart that he actually had nothing to talk about with others.

Jia Min defeated the Mogu people, and the general situation of the world was decided, and there was no strength enough to stop him from capturing the imperial capital.

But the emperor called him to come, and he had to come. After all, his net worth and life are still in the hands of the emperor.

Jia Min, who has always wanted to see, is now not seeing them at all, which makes Luo Qihua and Li Guozhong feel both angry and helpless.

Li Guozhong had just complained to him and left, Luo Qihua just wanted to take a break, and the master came in.

"Shiweng, two old people came to meet."

"Two old people? Who is it? I don't have any old friends here. ”

"Scholar Luo, you're really forgetful, don't you even remember us?"

Two people barged in, followed by five or six tall men with black faces like charcoal.

It was Hua Yusheng and Guo Qisheng who broke in, and they were followed by six black Mamluk soldiers.

"Who are you who dare to trespass? Is that what is the hospitality of Chang'an? ”

Luo Qihua doesn't remember that he has such two old people.

"Scholar Luo, at this time, is still so majestic. Naturally, you don't remember us, but we remember you all the time in our lives.

Guo Qisheng scoffed.

"Who are you, and what are you looking for me?"

"Lord Luo, do you remember the Xinyouke case?"

Xinyouke field case?

Luo Qihua recalled for a moment, it seemed to be a small incident a long time ago.

He has experienced countless things in his life, and how can he have the heart to keep such a small thing in his heart.

However, he still remembers this incident.

"Lord Luo's family is a high-ranking official, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, the Xinyou Kechang case may be one of the countless bad things you have done. But you know, for us, this case ruined our lives. Hahaha, now retribution has finally come. ”

Hua Yusheng said hatefully.

"Who are you and what are you here for?"

"Master Luo, do you still remember Shen Youshan, Hua Yusheng, and Guo Qisheng?"

"Who are you?"

"I am Hua Yusheng, who was framed by you for cheating in the field and exiled to Bukui."

Hua Yusheng's face became a little fierce.

"I am Guo Qisheng, Guo Qisheng, who fell for you at the beginning, went along with you, aided in abuse, framed others, and was almost killed by you. You killed Shen Youshan, I didn't expect that I am still alive now, right? Hahaha, I've finally waited for this day. I can see with my own eyes the day when your Luo family is destroyed. ”

"Where did the bold fanatics come from, how dare they be so rude to the envoys of the Celestial Empire, come on, blast them out."

Several soldiers were actually there all the time, but as soon as they saw the rifles in the hands of the six black soldiers, they all stood in place, and no one dared to step forward.

"Lord Luo is still so majestic. Don't worry, you are messengers today, and we will do nothing to you. I came here today to inform you that your end is coming, and when we reach the imperial capital in the future, we will seek justice for those who were framed by you back then. ”

"I don't know you, and the Xinyou Kechang case back then has nothing to do with me. What justice you want, you're looking for the wrong person. ”

"Hey, hey, Lord Luo is so cultivated. Not to mention that we still have evidence in our hands, but there is no evidence, just by colluding with the inside and outside of the three feudatories and attaching yourself to the puppet dynasty, you can kill you. From this day on, count the days and live, you won't live long. Let's go! ”

Hua Yusheng said, pulling Guo Qisheng away.

"How dare a bold fanatic be so rude."

Luo Qihua grabbed a teacup and slammed it to the ground.

"Shi Weng is angry, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as these villains."

"Hua Yusheng and Guo Qisheng, I think of these two people, and I really regret that I didn't put them to death in the first place."

"They are here with Jia Min now, so they dare to come to the door like this, deliberately to humiliate Shiweng."

"Jia Min, Jia Min, Jia Min again."

Luo Qihua sat weakly on the chair.

"Shi Weng, now that Jia Min's power has become and Zhao'an is useless, it's better to think about the way back early."

"Master, why haven't I thought about it? It's just that now that it's embattled, what is the way back? Although the world is big, where can I go? is to go, how to settle this family? It's hateful that the three feudal clans are so vulnerable, I really misjudged them at the beginning. ”

Li Guozhong, the king of Xining, came uninvited and sat down silently.

The high-spirited appearance of the past is no longer visible, and his expression is gloomy, and he seems to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

Silently drank a cup of tea and spoke slowly.

"Lord Luo, it's useless to stay here any longer, let's go back tomorrow and report to the emperor."
