Chapter 545 - Being a Lobbyist with a High Hat
"Of course, please, just because I'm bored, let's have tea and chat together."
Wan Lin turned around generously as he spoke, and wanted to push open the door.
"No need!" Ahmad suddenly laughed, "The lower official is joking with you." Xiaguan is not here to drink tea with you this time, Xiaguan is here to invite you to do business. ”
Wan Lin's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and he immediately turned around and smiled politely at Ahmed, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Ahmad replied, "Uncle Huang told you before that there are a large number of troops stationed not far from the country, right?" Those troops were cronies of the old king, and they supported the eldest prince. Now that Uncle Huang has become the master of the national capital, they also plan to capture the national capital and fight with us. Uncle Huang is worried that the battle will hurt innocent people, so I would like to ask you to talk to the army outside the city, so that they can submit to Uncle Huang and avoid a vicious battle. ”
Wan Lin pointed at himself with some incredulity, "Do you really want me to come forward?" ”
Ahmad said affirmatively: "You are an envoy from the kingdom, no matter how stubborn they are, they will always give you face." So, please help. Whether or not the people of the whole country can avoid the suffering of war depends on you! ”
Wan Lin was just a foreign envoy, but he was deducted such a big hat by Ahmed, which somewhat made Wan Lin a little dilemma.
Although Wan Lin knew that this was a tricky errand, he agreed.
Wan Lin said calmly: "In order to protect the people of the whole city from the suffering of war, then I will try." But I also have to say it in the front, if they don't give me face and don't take my words seriously, they still insist on attacking the national capital, don't blame me! ”
Ahmed said sincerely: "If the negotiations fail, we will not blame you in any way, please rest assured. To be honest with you, in fact, you are only trying to negotiate with the rebels. Ambassador Wan, you don't have to be burdened, no matter what the outcome, we will be grateful to you! ”
Wan Lin nodded, "Okay, then let's not delay, I'll take me out of the city if you bother you." ”
Ahmed didn't rush to leave, but asked first, "How many people are you going to take with you?" I've got a hundred soldiers for you, and I wonder if it's appropriate? ”
Wan Lin replied with a smile: "You don't need to prepare so many people for me. All I need is two guards. ”
Ahmad immediately said, "How can this be done? You are a noble envoy of the kingdom, you must not make any mistakes, and you can't only bring two guards to negotiate with the army! You must bring at least a hundred soldiers prepared for you by your superiors! ”
"Didn't you say that? I'm an envoy from the kingdom, and they might give me a face. I also negotiated with them in good faith. But if I had brought so many soldiers with me, I would have looked too wary and insincere. You don't have to worry, I believe that they are for Dachen's sake, even if the negotiation fails, they will not do anything to me. ”
After Wan Lin finished speaking, he said directly: "Wu Kaili, Fu Xiao, you two come with me." ”
"Yes!" Fu Xiaojiu and Wu Kaili responded in unison.
"Ambassador Wan ......"
Ahmed also wanted to persuade Wan Lin to bring more people.
Wan Lin had already walked to the door.
"Commander Ahmad, please let these soldiers go back, and you will send us out of the city."
Ahmed had no choice but to reluctantly respond: "Yes, the lower official obeys your instructions." ”
Ahmad prepared the carriage for Wan Lin, and the three of Wan Lin got into the carriage, and Ahmad also rode a horse to lead the way for them.
After Ahmad sent them out of the city, he instructed Wan Lin: "Please also pay attention to the safety of Ambassador Wan, when you come back, launch the arrows prepared in the vehicle in advance, and we will know, and then the officials will personally go out of the city to welcome you back." ”
Wan Lin leaned on the window of the carriage and replied with a relaxed expression: "Okay, I remember." ”
Ahmad saluted Wan Lin with a solemn face, and watched Wan Lin's carriage set off for the "enemy camp".
Wu Kaili asked, "My lord, according to your estimate, when will we be able to come back?" ”
Wan Lin shook his head, "I can't estimate this. I don't know if the soldiers on the other side are proficient in Dachen's dialect, and I don't know what kind of attitude they have. ”
Fu Xiaojiu said at this time: "My lord is afraid that the people over there insist on attacking the national capital, in order to eradicate the usurper of the emperor's uncle, would you rather let the people put themselves in the fire and water?" ”
Wan Lin was embarrassed and said, "If they can't disobey their will, I can't do anything about it." Some of them may want to defect to the emperor's uncle, or escape from the battle, but it is uncertain. All my conjectures are uncertain now, and I need to meet the generals who lead the troops over there. ”
Fu Xiaojiu held his chin and said, "Also, let's not guess." Now that you're going, prepare for the worst. After saying that, she suddenly remembered something, and said expectantly: "If we tell them that Data is not actually dead, will these people who are loyal to the old king be demoralized and rush into the palace in one go to get the old fox of Kuganjihan out of the palace?" ”
Wan Lin immediately denied: "The fact that Data is not dead cannot be easily said. Who knows if there is a man of Kuganjihan lurking among the soldiers? If Kuganjihan knew that Datta was not dead, then Datta would really be killed. Not only that, but it may also affect us. ”
"It's that I'm not thinking it through. Forget it, I don't want to do it anymore, I have to leave this matter to the adults. My lord, I'm sure you'll have a way to avoid the war! ”
Fu Xiaojiu was cheering for Wan Lin, and his eyes inadvertently revealed his appreciation and admiration for him.
Although he knew Fu Xiaojiu's true identity, Fu Xiaojiu was dressed as a man at this time, looking at Wan Lin with his cheeks and stars, which still made Wu Kaili unbearable to look at him directly.
He suddenly realized that he was too much of a problem here, so he said to Wan Lin: "My lord, I want to go out to breathe, I will go outside and sit." ”
"Okay." Wan Lin responded very naturally.
As soon as Wu Kaili left, Fu Xiaojiu grabbed her side, and Wan Lin took her into his arms.
Fu Xiaojiu reacted a little at this time, and said a little embarrassed: "Did you say that Wu Kaili found that the eyes I looked at you just now were too much, so he hid out?" ”
Wan Lin recalled the look in Fu Xiaojiu's eyes just now, and thought that Fu Xiaojiu's analysis was correct, and said a little embarrassedly: "Maybe." It's really hard for him. ”
Fu Xiaojiu put his hands around Wan Lin's shoulders, tilted his head and asked, "According to your previous style, you will definitely try your best to let me stay in the post house, and you will not let me negotiate with you." What do you think this time? Why didn't you hesitate to let me come with you? ”
Wan Lin said with a smile: "Because you are an auspicious star, bringing you here makes me feel that this negotiation will go well." ”
Fu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows, "Are you treating me as a mascot?" ”
Wan Lin smiled and said, "Yes, it can be understood in this way. ”
Fu Xiaojiu deliberately frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "So you don't care about my life or death, and let me accompany you to negotiate?" ”
Wan Lin asked rhetorically: "Is the lady greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu held his head high and replied arrogantly: "Of course not!" ”
Wan Lin gently pinched her face, her eyes full of doting, "So you will accompany your husband to face thousands of troops!" ”
"Do you already have an idea to quell the fighting? That's why you brought me here without even thinking about it? ”
Fu Xiaojiu knew that Wan Lin was joking with her, Wan Lin must have been in his chest, otherwise Wan Lin would definitely persuade her to stay.
Wan Lin said cautiously: "Actually, I am not completely sure, I need to get a place, when I really meet them face to face, to see if my plan can work." ”
Fu Xiaojiu asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" Can you tell me first? ”
Wan Lin smiled mysteriously, "Keep it secret for the time being!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu didn't ask again, "Okay, it's okay if you don't say it, anyway, I believe in your ability, let me wait and see!" ”
It took about an hour to walk from the capital to the garrison of the army on the outskirts of the city, and as soon as their carriage arrived, they were stopped because Wanlin's carriage had a flag representing the forces of Kuganjihan.
Two soldiers guarding the camp came up fiercely, and the coachman had the courage to tell them who was in the carriage and why.
The two soldiers were obviously taken aback when they heard about Wan Lin's identity, and Wan Lin also poked his head out of the car window and smiled politely at the two of them.
When they saw that Wan Lin was really a Dachen person, and his bearing was extraordinary, they believed the coachman's words.
One told the driver to let them wait here, and one went to report to his superiors.
These soldiers were troops stationed in various fortresses and were completely loyal to the king.
Knowing that the old king died, the king's seal was stolen by the emperor's uncle Kuganjihan, and Data, who was supposed to inherit the throne, died unexplained, Kuganjihan now occupies the capital and the palace, and is about to inherit the throne, which makes the soldiers loyal to the king very angry.
When they arrived, Kuganjihan had already occupied the palace, and they were afraid that if they rashly attacked the national capital, Kuganjihan would be detrimental to Data, but now that Data is "dead", they have no scruples.
If Wan Lin didn't come today, they would plan to attack the capital at night tonight.
The news of Wan Lin's arrival was reported directly to the commander-in-chief Sayer.
Saya is in his early forties, strong and strong, a rare tall figure among the Qiangwan people, and has made a lot of military exploits, and his status in Qiangwan is similar to that of the king of Zhenbei.
Saya had always had a good heart for Kuganjihan, and if he hadn't taught the pirates who had been harassing the border, he wouldn't have come back now.
After listening to the soldier's report, Saya instantly swelled up with anger in his heart, and said through gritted teeth: "That old fox in Kuganjihan actually found Dachen's envoy to be a lobbyist? ”
