Chapter 523: Negotiations Break Down
Gu Ronghe's expression made people unable to see joy and anger, and even Song Qi, who had been by Shen Mengxian's side for a long time, couldn't see anything.
"What, doesn't His Royal Highness King Xiang think this is not enough?"
In all fairness, although the conditions on the previous letter were indeed very perfunctory, in the final analysis, they were all for the sake of this last article, and he thought that as long as Shen Mengxian promised to provide Gu Ronghe with due help in the future, it would be impossible for anyone to give up.
It's just that I didn't expect this King Xiang to still think about the lion and open his mouth!
"Do you think that's enough?" Gu Ronghe said calmly: "If Shen Mengxian is so insincere, Your Excellency can go back!" β
didn't say much, Gu Ronghe directly issued an eviction order.
That expression, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like you want to get away with it, it's more like you don't take him to heart at all. Things have developed to this point, and even Song Qi himself is wondering if the conditions in his heart when he set off are really a bit harsh.
"Your Royal Highness King Xiang, I am here on behalf of our Majesty. Your Majesty's intention is to let me try my best to discuss this matter with King Xiang, and since it is a discussion, it is all good to say! Rao was hard at first, and now Song Qi is also a little cowardly.
originally thought that this Gu Ronghe was an easy person to deal with, otherwise how could he not have defeated a woman for so many years. But now it seems that this man is far more cunning than he thought!
"Discuss? It turns out that this matter is negotiable! Gu Ronghe suddenly sneered: "Your Excellency's appearance just now made me think that Shen Mengxian asked you to inform me!" β
I can't help but say it, tell him directly what to do and what I will get, isn't this a notice what?
"Hehe, His Royal Highness King Xiang has misunderstood!" Listening to the tone that was already obviously unkind, Song Qi snorted: "It's that I didn't make it clear!" β
The top priority now is to find Dongfang Yi as soon as possible and bring him back to Lanling.
The war with Yunnan is still going on, and without Dongfang Yi's command, many times they are simply unable to move an inch. Although the entire court was complaining, saying that it was Shen Mengxian who gave Dongfang Yi too much power, it was only at this time that they could find out that Dongfang Yi was really worth this.
Therefore, this person has to get it back no matter what the price is.
With Dongfang Yi, they will go one step further on the road to dominating the world!
"Then let's get to the bottom of it!"
It was another high-minded look, Gu Ronghe sat on the main seat, and an oppressive momentum burst out from his body. For a while, it made Song Qi a little trance-like.
Although Nanyue is now Gu Rong and the main business, in his heart, this person is still a prince after all, and he has not yet ascended to that position. Therefore, there will be a little perfunctory attitude in his attitude, but just now, he suddenly found that he found the kind of momentum that can only be felt in Gu Ronghe's body.
One is the momentum that simply belongs to the superior.
And it was also at this time that Song Qicai faced this man squarely for the first time and put him on a level that he should have with the emperors of various countries.
"This, I want to hear what His Royal Highness King Xiang means."
This time, Song Qi did not speak in a hurry, but looked at Gu Ronghe to see what he wanted.
"I don't mean anything, I just think, why do I want to see your sincerity!" At this time, Gu Ronghe looked indifferent: "You have to know that the current initiative is actually in my hands!" β
Because Dongfang Yi is in his hands, and the significance of this person to Shen Mengxian will not be even lower than this war.
"In this way, in addition to what was mentioned in the letter, we will add 30% of the profits from the trade between the two countries." Song Qi bit his lip and almost ruthlessly said such a price, which was the biggest concession he could decide: "The rest, as I said before, everything remains the same!" What does His Royal Highness King Xiang think? β
"Not very well."
Gu Ronghe shook his head, and this time he didn't even think about it.
"His Royal Highness King Xiang, don't go too far!" Seeing that Gu Ronghe still rejected him directly, Song Qi's whole person became furious: "You keep saying that you want to see our sincerity, but what about your sincerity?" We're talking about collaboration! β
"I never said I would talk to you with sincerity, huh, naΓ―ve!"
Speaking of which, Gu Ronghe did not hide the disgust on his face.
"What did you say?"
"I say, you are not qualified to put on this attitude in front of me!" Gu Ronghe's face suddenly sank: "Don't say it's a small official like you, even if Shen Mengxian is standing here, it will never be the attitude just now!" β
Originally, he planned to take a good look at the bottom given by Shen Mengxian, but this person was a little too trusting, and he really regarded himself as a character!
"His Royal Highness King Xiang, I'm ......" The man's eyes rolled, and he suddenly heard something different in Gu Ronghe's words, he felt that the other party seemed to be so angry because of his attitude: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now!" β
There was no doubt that Gu Ronghe was trying to trick him from the beginning, and Song Qi was more inclined to the whole person, in fact, Gu Ronghe's sudden anger was because of his own words just now. Because he has been by Shen Mengxian's side for a long time, no one has ever said such ugly things to himself except for this master, so Song Qi couldn't control his emotions for a while.
But that doesn't mean he's a fool.
The gaffe just now could indeed have allowed Gu Ronghe to throw him out at any time.
"Oh!" Gu Ronghe didn't say anything, just responded coldly.
"Your Highness, if you are not satisfied with what I just said, you can say what you think, and I can go back to your majesty. It's just that it is still necessary to finalize everything as soon as possible, after all, the military master still has to return to Lanling earlier. Please also ask for the understanding of His Royal Highness King Xiang in this regard. β
"I know." Gu Ronghe nodded: "Actually, I don't have much thought about this matter, it's just that Dongfang Yi is from my Nanyue country, so I don't have any problem detaining him." So, you don't have to think we're calculating anything! β
Gu Ronghe's eyes were very deep, like a deep spring.
"It's not!" Song Qi hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that he didn't think like this.
"Go back and tell Shen Mengxian, just say that Dongfang Yi's matter is still my Nanyue matter, and let him not have any crooked thoughts!" There was a pause: "As for the transaction, it's not impossible." You go back and ask him, I want to share Yunnan with him equally, you see if he can do it! β
These words are playful with what Gu Rong said.
Not to mention that the war between the two sides has not yet been separated, even if it is really decided, I am afraid that Shen Mengxian will not easily spit out such a piece of fat.
Dongfang Yi is important, but whether the value can be compared to half of the country remains to be discussed. What's more, Yunnan still has different emotions for Shen Mengxian.
So, strictly speaking, it's a condition that doesn't need to be thought about at all.
"This, it's definitely impossible!"
didn't have to go back to report it, Song Qi directly rejected Gu Ronghe's proposal.
Just go back and tell Shen Mengxian about it, does he think he has lived too long?
"Then there's nothing to talk about!"
Gu Ronghe's attitude is very resolute, and there is almost no room for reversal.
"His Royal Highness King Xiang won't think about it anymore?" Song Qi was so angry that his face twitched, but because of what had just happened, he couldn't show too much, so he could only laugh dryly: "Your Highness, don't forget, Yunnan is the territory of Empress Gu." Didn't you do such a thing to make it clear that you wanted to stand against her? β
It's not just the opposite, it's just a clear way to tear your face!
"Even if I put forward such a condition, I would have betrayed her! Is there anything different? As long as Dongfang Yi is released, he and Gu Xiwu will be completely on the two camps: "Could it be that Shen Mengxian didn't fight this idea at the beginning?" β
"This, uh, Your Highness should understand that once your condition is passed out, what will people outside think! Besides, Yunnan is a special existence for His Majesty, so please think twice about it. β
Song Qi was speechless for a while, what Gu Ronghe said was not wrong, as long as this matter took a step forward, it would be considered a complete break with Gu Xiwu.
But so what?
Being able to master South Vietnam alone was not what he had always wanted, and he just took this opportunity to beat that woman down. In a royal family like this, how much affection can be left between brothers and sisters!
"You see, you know that this thing means something different. Since Yunnan is a different existence for Shen Mengxian, why can't it be a special existence for me? Gu Ronghe sneered: "I'll tell you, my sister is there, so that place is very important to me!" β
"You!"
This time, no matter how stupid Song Qi is, he can understand what it means.
"Go back and tell Shen Mengxian, just say that he doesn't have to be delusional, Dongfang Yi and I won't let him go, let him die of this heart!"
"So you've made up your mind from the start? You're kidding me! β
With such a resolute tone, it was absolutely impossible for a decision to be made in an instant, and Song Qi suddenly understood. In fact, Gu Ronghe made such a decision from the very beginning, and he told him this, just to humiliate him several times.
Realizing all this, the anger that Song Qi had been suppressing finally erupted.
"How about fooling you?" Gu Ronghe was full of disdain, as if he was saying the most ordinary thing: "Although Nanyue and Yunnan are not in the same spirit, they will definitely not do anything at this time." So, no matter what conditions you offer, I will not compromise! β
"Gu Ronghe!"
"Huh? What else would you like to do? Do you want my people to escort you back to Lanling? β
