Shu Lu and Liu Fan chatted happily, and the two talked about astronomy and geography all the way to the livelihood of the two countries. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Fan has dabbled in all aspects, so he can insert a few sentences no matter what the topic, and sometimes he can use modern knowledge to sweep away the "illiteracy" of this ancient national teacher. Of course, the two are not entirely harmonious, and there are still differences in some places.

For example, geographical knowledge, the Khitan national teacher really can't imagine that this world is a round ball, and everyone lives on the ball.

"How is that possible? What should I do if I fall off? Shulu's face was full of disagreement.

Liu Fan scratched his head, how should he explain gravity to this girl? The story of Newton being hit in the head by an apple?

"Once upon a time, there was a child surnamed Niu, he always liked to sit under the apple tree and read ......books when he had nothing to do," Liu Fan told this well-known story in later generations, and then looked at the Khitan national teacher with an expectant face, "We live on the ball and don't fall, it's because of this gravitational force, do you understand?" ”

Shu Lu spread his hands in confusion: "The child of the Niu family was sitting under the tree and was hit on the head by an apple?" It can only be said that the kid is a little unlucky, what does it have to do with our life on the ball? ”

"Then why do apples have to fall down? Why didn't it float to the sky? Why not go in the other direction? This means that the ball we live in has gravitational drops. can suck anything firmly......" Liu Fan adheres to the teaching philosophy of "not abandoning, not giving up", and is kind to Shulu, a stupid student.

Shu Lu looked at Liu Fan firmly, as if he was looking at an idiot: "Lord Hou, how all these things live is arranged by the true God!" It is like a man walking on the ground, a fish swimming in the water, and an eagle soaring in the sky...... The same. How can you say that this ball sucks anything in? There's no such thing at all! ”

Foolishness! Ignorance! Liu Fan looked at Shu Lu sadly, he really couldn't communicate with these ancient people, he didn't live in the same world at all.

Knocked on the table impatiently, Liu Fan was a little annoyed and angry: "Hey, don't go off-topic, we're here to negotiate today, how did we get to the ball?" It's really weird! In the future, we have to set up a rule for meetings, and we are not allowed to say anything that has nothing to do with the topic! - Really, it's in a meeting, and it's not serious at all......"

Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi looked at each other and smiled bitterly - this unobtrusive Marquis Liu, didn't you just pull out the topic of that ball? !

Shu Lu and Itamu glanced at each other, and they both felt that this Chu person was really unreasonable, even if he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, he didn't know how to pretend to understand! The two hostile steppe emissaries reached a consensus on this point for the first time with their eyes.

As a result, the small talk before the start of the negotiation ended because Chu Guo was making the Marquis Liu unilaterally emotional, and there was quite a rhythm of unhappy disappointment.

Everyone began formal negotiations, and after listening to Lu Dingwen's translation, Itamu came to his senses at this time, slapped his palm on the table, and said a few Turkic words loudly.

Lu Dingwen translated: "Itamu said that their Ashina Great Khan is the greatest Khan of the steppe, and our Great Chu should form an alliance with them to expel the Khitans from the steppe." ”

Shulu was furious when he heard this, slapped the table, and quarreled loudly with Itamu. Unexpectedly, this old man looked quite elegant and elegant, but when he quarreled, he looked different. The beard was cocked, and the fierceness in his eyes made people shudder.

Liu Fan laughed secretly in his heart, what he wants is this result, where are you going to make a fortune if you don't quarrel with the marquis?

"Hey, two noble envoys, after all, don't quarrel, can you be quiet? After we finish talking, you go outside and quarrel. This is a place for meditation room cultivation, and it is not suitable to add a violent atmosphere. Liu Fan pretended to persuade on the side.

Shulu and Itamu glared at each other fiercely, and they were angry and silent.

"The two noble envoys are angry, you make Ben Hou very embarrassed by such a quarrel," Liu Fan smiled and made a peacemaker, "Who am I allied with Da Chu, this matter cannot be discussed in a few words." What about you, you can first state your own conditions, and then Benhou will communicate the conditions of the court with you, and then let's seek common ground while reserving differences and discuss slowly, how about it? ”

Shulu and Itamu both nodded.

Liu Fan smiled: "Hey, that's right, how good it is to be harmonious." National teacher, you are older than Itamu, according to the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and respecting the virtuous in our Chu Dynasty, please put forward your Khitan conditions first. ”

Shulu glanced at Itamu. In a flat tone, he said: "The great Yelu Great Khan said that if your country forms an alliance with our Khitan Khanate, then he can promise that he will never wage any war against your country within ten years, and is willing to snatch the ...... from your country over the years Well, please return the women and children and laborers of the Chu Dynasty who went to the grassland, and I am willing to compensate your country with one million taels of silver as compensation for your country's losses. ”

Liu Fan blinked: "That's it?" ”

Shu Lu nodded.

Liu Fan shook his head and smiled: "National teacher, you Khitan Khan are too stingy!" With your conditions, how can this still be called an alliance? ! This is clearly giving alms to my Dachu. If Benhou and Itamu form an alliance, whether your Yelu Khan's throne can be kept is another matter, why do you say that you will not use force against me within ten years? ”

"Besides, the women, children and laborers you snatched from my Dachu were originally ours, and you are embarrassed to take this as a condition?! And only to return "part"! As for a million taels of silver, that's not to mention. I'm ashamed of you Khitans! How many gold and silver treasures have you steppe people stolen from my Dachu over the years? Tens of millions of taels are too much to say, right?! It's better for you to compensate one million taels of silver?! National teacher, national teacher, alas! What do you say about your name Ben Hou? If your country can only come up with these conditions......" Liu Fan shook his head with a smile and didn't continue.

Shulu was blushed by Liu Fan's words, coughed twice, and said: "Lord Hou, this is a negotiation, and the conditions need to be negotiated slowly by both parties, can you mention the conditions of your country......"

Liu Fan didn't answer the words, turned his head and looked at Itamu with a smile: "You can tell me about the conditions of your Turks." ”

Itamu learned through the interpreter that Shulu was deflated, and he was so happy that he was overjoyed on the side, and when he heard Liu Fan say that it was his turn to make conditions, he opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

Liu Fan said with a smile: "Let's talk about it first, if the conditions of your Turks are half a catty or two with this national teacher, then you will open this mouth." You're embarrassed to say, Ben Hou is embarrassed to listen! ”

Seeing Shu Lu sitting on the side with a depressed expression, Liu Fan hurriedly comforted him: "National teacher, don't be discouraged, you didn't play well just now, Ben Hou, just treat it as if you didn't hear it, I'll give you another chance in a while, you can think about it again, think about it and talk about it." Remember, you can't be like that anymore. After speaking, Liu Fan patted him on the shoulder encouragingly: "Ben Hou looks good at you." ”

Shu Lu was secretly annoyed when he heard this: This oily and unserious hairy boy dares to say that the old man is playful! I don't know who took such an important state issue as a child's play!

Itamu was about to speak, but after hearing Liu Fan's words, he began to hesitate again. Yes, his conditions are indeed similar to Shulu, Liu Fan blocked him with words, and Itamu couldn't help but start thinking: This kid has talked about this, if he doesn't add more weight, I'm afraid that the alliance will come to naught. Thinking of the violent and bloodthirsty nature of Ashina Khan in the distant steppe, Itamu couldn't help but shudder, if the mission could not be completed, his little life would be completely over.
