Chapter 68 Negotiations
At dawn the next day, Ling Liang and Wang Sheng discussed with them.
"We must rescue General Lei. Ling Liang said.
Wang Sheng and they also knew that in fact, they were not worthy of their name at all, and half of the reason why they were able to be the king of Xizhou in the first place was due to Lei Yun, and now let him stand by and watch, he was afraid of recruiting people.
He looked at Xiao Yunxi and said, "Mr. Xiao, is there any way?" ”
Xiao Yunxi said: "As the deputy commander of the coalition forces, I shouldn't have interfered in your actions, but now that General Lei Yun has been captured, of course we have to try to save it." ”
Pan Zi said: "I just don't know what conditions Zhang Yunyi offered, such a bargaining chip, I'm afraid he has a big appetite." ”
Ling Liang said: "It's better for us to storm Wancheng and force him to hand over General Lei." ”
Mai Xiaoke said: "Will this harm General Lei?"
Xiao Yunxi stopped their conversation and said, "First send an envoy to negotiate and test the other party's attitude, and we are making a decision." ”
"Who should I send?" Ling Liang said.
Mai Xiaoke said: "Why don't I go! General Lei is kind to us, and I can't die without help." ”
Pan Zi said: "No, I'd better go! Xiao Ke, you stay here." ”
Seeing the two arguing with each other, Ling Liang said: "You are both the main forces in Xizhou, if you are detained by Zhang Yunyi, the consequences will be unimaginable, let's change to another person!"
"No, that's fine, let's go with the two of you!" Xiao Yunxi said.
"Thank you, Lieutenant Marshal. The two agreed.
"Why?" Ling Liang asked suspiciously.
Seeing that he was puzzled, Xiao Yunxi explained: "Zhang Yunyi, I have a relationship with him, he is a heavy hero, the two of them are just in line, he will not embarrass you." ”
After listening to Xiao Yunxi's explanation, Ling Liang didn't say anything.
Mai Xiaoke and Pan Zi rode horses to the city, they said their intentions, after the report, they entered Wancheng, under the leadership of the messenger, dismounted, and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
At this time, Ye Xianze was still pretending to sleep, Ye Lin had already woken up, stretched and said, "Well, sleep so comfortably." ”
Ye Xianze opened his eyes, looked at her and said, "You are comfortable, but my hand was used as a pillow overnight, and now it is numb." ”
Ye Lin embarrassedly came out of her brother's arms and said with a smile: "Brother, it's hard for you." ”
"How dare you say it. Then he saw a familiar person.
He hurriedly said, "Xiao Lin, follow me." ”
After that, he couldn't help but take Ye Lin's hand and chase after him.
"Xiao Ke, Pan Zi, is it you?" Ye Xianze shouted.
The two of them were also taken aback when they saw that it was Ye Xianze, and Mai Xiaoke said happily: "Brother Xianze, why are you here?"
"Yes, Brother Xianze, I want to kill you. Panzi said.
When he saw the man leading the way, he hid what he wanted to say, and said to the two of them: "I have done a little business here, but I have encountered a war and stayed. ”
Both of them looked confused, and Pan Zi said: "Brother Xianze, you are not ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Ye Xianze hurriedly opened the topic and said, "You guys go to business first, I'll talk to you later." ”
The two nodded, but when they saw Ye Lin, they still exclaimed, "Princess, why are you here." ”
Ye Xianze hurriedly said, "What princess, where is it?"
"Who is the person next to you?" said Panzi.
"You're Xiaolin, you can't even recognize my sister?"
"Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Lin, who has grown so big, I think I was still a little bit at the beginning. ”
Ye Lin said unhappily: "What! Brother Pan Zi, after so many years, I am still so tall, and I still have the face to say that I am shameless." ”
Mai Xiaoke covered his mouth and smiled, while Pan Zi scratched his head embarrassedly.
Ye Xianze said: "Don't you still have serious business, hurry up, don't worry about me." ”
Seeing that the two still didn't react, he pushed the two and said, "Hurry up and solve the matter, I'll wait for you here." ”
So the two followed the leader to the city lord's mansion.
Zhang Yunyi looked at the two of them and said, "You are here to negotiate with me as an envoy?"
Panzi said: "Yes,
We're here to get back to General Lei, so let's get straight to the point! What are your conditions?"
Zhang Yunyi said: "Don't worry, we can talk slowly, what I want is actually very simple, you just need to promise me three things and release people immediately." ”
"Let's talk about your conditions first. Mai Xiaoke said.
"Okay, my first condition is that you immediately withdraw from Fengzhou and return the land you occupied, the second condition is that you also hand over the ten cities in Xizhou to us to make up for our losses, and the third condition is to hand over Her Royal Highness the princess to us. ”
"Foolish dreams. Pan Zi said viciously.
"In that case, there's nothing to talk about, my conditions remain the same, otherwise I'll wait to collect the body of Lei Yun!"
Mai Xiaoke smiled and said: "General Zhang, what a big appetite, I'm afraid you can't swallow it, first of all, if you should kill General Lei, we will fight with you endlessly, saying that the three conditions you mentioned, we can only promise you the first one, and the remaining two, I can't agree." ”
"General Mai, you can speak well, but what about our losses? I can't just let go of Thundercloud, after all, he is one of the main culprits of this war. ”
"We can compensate with money. Panzi said.
Zhang Yunyi shook his head and said, "Please go back! The three conditions remain unchanged, you can negotiate first, and then come and talk with us." ”
"Xiao Ke, let's go. Panzi said.
Watching the two of them go out of the mansion, Zhang Yunyi said to Guo Ziyi: "It seems that we have to be prepared." ”
"Why is that?" Guo Ziyi asked.
Zhang Yunyi didn't speak, and walked straight out.
Ye Xianze had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw Panzi and them coming out, he greeted him, and Mai Xiaoke repeated the content of their conversation with Ye Xianze.
Ye Xianze said: "After you go back, immediately send troops to attack the city, I know the location where Brother Lei is imprisoned, I will take this opportunity to save people." ”
"It's too dangerous, why don't I stay and help you. Panzi said.
"No, you know, the more fierce you attack, the better my chance of rescuing Brother Lei, you must reveal my thoughts. ”
What else did Pan Zi want to say, Mai Xiaoke said: "Don't talk about Pan Zi, we know that Brother Xian Ze has made a decision and will not turn back, so it's better for us to hurry out of the city and inform them." ”
Ye Xianze said: "I still have something to ask for. ”
"Brother Xianze, you said, as long as we can help. ”
Ye Xianze handed Ye Lin's hand to Mai Xiaoke and said, "My actions are too dangerous, I don't worry about Xiaolin, can you take her to Xizhou?"
"Don't worry, Brother Xianze, your sister is my sister. Panzi said.
Ye Lin looked at Ye Xianze with a reluctant look.
He hugged Ye Lin and whispered, "Wait for me to take you home." ”
Ye Lin nodded obediently and followed Mai Xiaoke and them, she also looked back at her brother from time to time, Ye Xianze smiled and looked at the direction they left, and the stone in her heart was finally put down.
When he returned to the temple, someone finally found out about the death of the middle-aged man, he didn't care, he rested alone in the corner, in this war era, it was too normal to die one or two people, and sure enough, after they watched for a while, they dispersed, no one had time to care about people they didn't know, everyone had their own things in their hearts.
It's a little scary to be with a corpse, but it's nothing to a homeless person like them.
