Chapter 452: Excessive Demands
Inside the Imperial Study.
The emperor was anxious because the enemy country had detained Li Changfeng, and the soldiers who went to deliver the letter had already returned with a reply, and they were kneeling in front of him at that time.
The emperor rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and didn't bother to look at it, so he only waved his hand and ordered: "Open it and see what is written inside, I want to know...... What are they trying to ask for! ”
"Yes," the soldier replied, opened the envelope and looked at it a few times, and then began: "The enemy country said that if you want to exchange those two people, the emperor needs to use five cities, five thousand war horses, and eighty thousand soldiers to exchange." ”
The Emperor could have foreseen at first that the enemy country would never let go of this opportunity to ask for something from them, but he never thought that the other party would really be so excessive!
If they really swapped out all these things, wouldn't it be replenishing their forces for them to attack the Liang Kingdom!
With these things, he does not believe that the enemy country will still have the idea of peace.
"It's just too deceitful!" The Emperor gritted his teeth, and after delivering these things, not only would their losses be great, but if they continued to fight, their chances of writing would also increase.
But if he doesn't change people back, he will definitely be criticized by the people below, and if there is a war in the middle, the people's will is very important.
If they don't change Li Changfeng back, it will definitely make those people feel cold, and it will be difficult to boost morale after the war.
Such a dilemma made the emperor very anxious, and he even regretted sending Li Changfeng to the enemy country to negotiate peace.
If they knew that the enemy country had no intention of negotiating peace, they would have seized the initiative by starting the war early, and they would have ended the war earlier.
"Then the emperor, we are ...... now" The soldier knelt below, a little frightened by the emperor's angry appearance, but he couldn't help but ask.
"I'm still thinking about it." The emperor frowned and said, he knew that he didn't have many days left, and he still made such a troublesome thing at this time, did he really not even be able to spend his old age in peace......
The enemy country didn't give them much time to think about, and the emperor was hesitating, when a eunuch suddenly ran in in a hurry outside and said to the emperor: "Emperor, Emperor, the Nine Princes have sent someone to deliver a message back!" He said he was going to hand it over to you personally. ”
"Feng'er's letter?" When the emperor heard this, his face changed, and he immediately beckoned: "Quick, take it quickly!" ”
Li Changfeng was detained by the enemy, but there is still a way to send a message back, maybe it is a thing, what else is the turning point?
In fact, the emperor was right, and the letter sent back by Li Changfeng can be described as great news!
The letter said that the emperor did not have to agree to the excessive demands of the enemy to exchange them back, and that they had their own way to get out.
But what Li Changfeng said in the letter seemed to be confident, which also made the emperor's heart relax a lot.
After all, Li Changfeng also knows a little bit, and the other party is definitely not the kind of person who talks nonsense! He said that there is a way, and there must be a solution of its own.
As long as he goes according to plan, the problem should not be too big.
This letter immediately solved his dilemma, and made the emperor feel how happy he was.
He put the letter away, and immediately instructed the soldiers below: "Go, write back to the enemy country, and say that their treaty is too much, and I will not agree to it!" "Keyuan
"This ......" The soldier didn't know what was written in the letter, he only thought that the emperor was about to give up Li Changfeng, and he was a little stunned for a while.
"What are you still doing?" The emperor was in a very good mood at the moment, and he didn't blame him, but just urged: "Why don't you hurry up and do it?" ”
"Ah...... Be! The soldier didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly responded, turned around and exited the imperial study.
The grievances in the emperor's heart at this moment had finally disappeared, and he could almost imagine the disbelief of the enemy country when he saw his reply.
……
When the enemy received the letter, they were so shocked that they were almost speechless, and they thought that with these two chips, they could at least exchange them for something valuable.
But they never thought that the emperor would easily give up the two, in fact, they never considered going to war from the beginning, but just wanted to take this opportunity in exchange for some benefits.
I didn't expect the Emperor of Liang to be so decisive, they were angry in their hearts, but they were helpless, if they really killed Li Changfeng, it would definitely cause a war between the two countries.
At that time, in a side hall in the imperial palace of the enemy country.
Mu Yunqian and Li Changfeng were trapped inside, and they didn't have the slightest nervousness as hostages at that time, but they were still drinking tea leisurely.
"The tea leaves of this enemy country are good." Li Changfeng took a sip of tea lightly and commented.
Mu Yunqian sat beside him, although he didn't have the leisurely appearance of the man next to him, he didn't show any nervousness on his face, he was calm.
"How's the plan going, you say? The enemy country should also receive the emperor's reply, right? ”
"I think it's almost the same," Li Changfeng also estimated in his heart before answering: "Wait slowly to change it, anyway, everything is already ready." ”
While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound at the door, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a cold arrow shooting directly at the door of the strong long wind.
Li Changfeng quickly dodged sideways, and the next moment, he saw that the door of this side hall was kicked open, and a group of black-clothed assassins poured in outside.
Li Changfeng narrowed his eyes, stood up and pulled the woman next to him behind him, and then kicked the table in front of him, temporarily stopping them.
After that, he didn't dare to delay, and quickly fled with Mu Yunqian through the window.
The black-clothed people also quickly caught up, and among the group of people who came to chase and kill, there were a few who followed behind and released cold arrows.
The two people in front of them ran too fast, and the archers didn't care about aiming, and shot the arrows on their bodies several times on the string.
Li Changfeng took Mu Yunqian to hide behind a stone statue, and immediately let out a muffled cry of pain, and soon bright red blood gradually flowed to the ground.
and Mu Yunqian's slightly exposed clothes also had arrow wounds on the back, looking at the extent and the blood on the ground, I think the two of them will not survive.
The group of people who were chasing them were about to step forward to confirm whether they were really dead, but they heard a sound of footsteps not far away, vaguely mixed with the voice of someone talking: "I really heard a strange sound here, go over and take a look!" If it's an assassin, you'll be in trouble......"
After all, this is the palace, and if they are discovered, it will be difficult for them to get out, and this group of killers did not dare to take risks, so they turned around and ran away after looking at each other.
