Zhong Zhiyu, who stayed up until the early hours of the morning, still couldn't help but fall asleep, because he had something in mind, he got up early the next morning to wait for news.

"County Lord, the emperor has summoned the Beiyi delegation to the court."

Xue Xue also didn't sleep all night, and Qi Bo and the two, one stared at the Beiyi mission, and the other stared at the palace, at this time, seeing Zhong Shuyu get up, he hurriedly came in to report.

Zhong Zhiyu frowned and rubbed his temples, and when Twilight Cloud saw it, he stood up to help, the force was neither light nor heavy, it was really comfortable. But Zhong Zhuyu didn't have the heart to enjoy it at this time.

She thinks that she is not a person who sits idly by, but what she can do at this time can only wait.

There were three people in the Beiyi mission, two men and one woman, all dressed in woolen riding clothes, with modest faces, but they only bent down to salute, and did not follow the bowing ceremony when they came to offer offerings during the time of the first emperor.

Most of the officials who can mix in the upper court are calm, except for the prime minister's pale face, the others are still looking at their noses and noses, and trying to be a wooden stake without thoughts.

"Emperor Zhao, we are on the order of the Great King to repair the friendship between the two countries with Dayu." As the main person of the three, Zhuoni Laka spoke with an awkward Beiyi accent, and he had to jump out word by word.

"The Prairie King has a heart." The emperor said lightly.

Seeing that Emperor Zhao did not take the initiative to talk, only let a few of them stand, he held a grudge again, thinking that he would have to make a note when he went back, but his face was still as modest as if he had just entered the main hall, and he took the initiative to say: "We are willing to return all the cities that Dayu gave us six years ago." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Among them, the king of Zhenbei is more eager, and it is the land and people that have been ceded out in his hands!

The emperor was also excited in his heart, and it took him a few breaths to let his breathing go as usual, and he didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly, "What do you want?" ”

Zhuonilaka felt the suddenly lively atmosphere in the palace, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking that the task would be completed soon, and his waist straightened up more and more: "We hope that Dayu will send troops to help us defeat Xirong!" ”

Sure enough, as Liu Zhiyin said!

The few people who participated in the conversation last night exchanged glances quietly, and Liu Zhiyin took a step forward and said: "Back to the emperor, according to the opinion of the ministers, this matter is feasible." ”

Zonilaka glanced at the man who was speaking for him, and threw a good-natured smile, his heart more assured of the matter.

But he didn't want the prime minister to snort again, and retorted: "But we fought with Beiyi before, and we have exhausted our family funds, and now although we have improved, we still don't have the strength to support the battle!" ”

"What the prime minister said is reasonable...... the emperor seemed to be very embarrassed: "Zonilaka, we want to help, but we really can't do anything." ”

Zhuoniraka was in a hurry, looked around, and saw at a glance the king of Zhenbei, who was exceptionally strong in the crowd. He patted King Zhenbei on the shoulder and said urgently: "Isn't the general still alive!" As long as the general is here, Xijon is a fart! ”

"Ahem." King Zhenbei comforted: "Don't worry, envoy, aren't we discussing countermeasures?" It's true that I'm a living tiger, but I'm not the only one who sends troops, and I have to have soldiers to send troops, right? But spring ploughing is coming, if we are conscripted, what will we do with spring ploughing? Without spring ploughing, there is no food, so what will we eat? So how can we fight Sijon? ”

It was rare for the king of Zhenbei to speak patiently, and there was reason and evidence that Zhuonilaka couldn't refute it for a while. The envoy group was silent for a moment, but they did not shy away from everyone, and talked in Beiyi dialect in the palace.

The palace looked at each other, and the only two who could understand Beiyi's dialect, King Zhenbei and Liu Zhiyin, also pretended to be at a loss, waiting for them to discuss the result.

Fortunately, they didn't let everyone wait too long, and after the other man made a decision, Zonilaka said to the king of Zhenbei: "The county lord of Dayu fled back to Dayu from the grassland a few days ago. ”

King Zhenbei clenched his right hand into a fist, and his heart finally came, and he said angrily with a calm face: "Our county lord of Dayu is going home, do you still need to escape?!" ”

Zoniraka learned from the King of Zhenbei just now, and the old god was saying, "If the general is willing to send troops, we will not pursue this matter." ”

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the arrogant and rude Beiyi delegation below, comforting himself that he had endured most of his life, and it was not bad this time, so he suppressed his anger and pursed his lips to watch his henchmen perform.

"But we really don't have food and grass to support!" The prime minister clapped his hands and said helplessly.

Zhuonilaka mentioned the county lord, originally just wanted to spare this topic, it can be seen that the people of Dayu are still very concerned about the matter of grain and grass, so they determined in their hearts that they are afraid that Dayu really can't afford to send troops, so Zhuonilaka reluctantly made concessions: the salary of the Dayu army in the grassland, they are covered by Beiyi!

"You will pay for the military salary in the grassland, and the county lord will no longer be pursued, and our city will also be returned to us?" Liu Zhiyin made a final confirmation.

"Yes!" Zonilaka nodded vigorously.

All the possibilities were guessed by Liu Zhiyin, only the last item was missing.

Seeing that things had developed to this point, it was his own role, so he didn't care that it was winter at this time, and Jiao'er Lang waved a paper fan and said: "Then how do I know if you really want us to fight Xirong, in case you trick our soldiers into going to Beiyi, and Xirong is coming, won't our Dayu become a fish at the bottom of the kettle?" “

Zoniraka snorted and raised, "If we really don't have a way, will we still use the city as a thank you gift to ask Dayu for help?" ”

"You don't have the attitude of asking us to help." The wine prince pursed his lips, but did not speak again.

Zhuonilaka was noncommittal, after all, in their opinion, the Dayu people were fierce, but the knife of grain and grass hung firmly above their heads, so that they could only fish for it.

"Good!" The emperor finally spoke up: "Since the grassland is so sincere, we can naturally send troops!" Wang Jinde, sign and draw a pledge for them. ”

Zhuoniraka complained that Emperor Zhao was too careful, and signed the paper handed over by the eunuch Wang Jinde with a smile.

The people present had different thoughts, and when the court was dispersed, several people from yesterday were left behind by the emperor.

"Hey! Your Majesty, how do you see how I behaved today? The prime minister looked happy and raised his head to ask for praise.

The emperor praised him a few words, and then asked, "What do you see today?" ”

King Zhenbei and Liu Zhiyin glanced at each other, they had already had a tacit understanding after working together for many years, Liu Zhiyin pondered: "These three people from Beiyi, I'm afraid that the person in charge is not Zhuonilaka, but another man." ”

"When they consulted in Beiyi, Zoniraka followed the man's orders in an inquiring manner."

"And as the head of the mission, Zonilaka looks at the real city government is not deep."

The prime minister slapped his thigh and interjected: "You might as well just say that he looks too stupid!" ”

Liu Zhiyin ignored him and made a conclusion: "Although it doesn't look like it's joining forces with Xirong, we still need to deal with it carefully." ”

"Well......" The emperor replied in a deep voice, constantly deducing the countermeasures to several problems in his mind, and in the end, he specially told a few times before a few people retreated, but he did not rest, and went to the queen's Jiaofang Hall to discuss with his virtuous assistant, hoping to hear suggestions from other directions.

Zhong Zhuyu waited for a full morning before waiting for the king of Zhenbei, who was dark-eyed, to return home.

Seeing Zhong Zhuyu waiting, the king of Zhenbei knew what she was for, so he took the first step and patted the top of her head, and said with relief: "Don't worry, Baozi, it's not your business, it's Beiyi who came to Dayu for help and attacked Xirong together." ”

"How do they have the face to come to us for help?" Zhong Zhiyu seemed to have heard a big joke.

"Beiyi exchanged the city we ceded out."

Zhong Xiyu was silent, she knew that the emperor would never be able to resist this temptation, and she could not refuse this temptation.

At this point, Zhong Zhiyu didn't ask anything else, raised his head and looked at the king of Zhenbei fixedly: "Then when will we leave?" ”

"Seven days later." King Zhenbei replied in a deep voice.

Seven days?

On this day, it is a bit hasty to say that the matter on Lin'an's side is to be concluded, but as a war, it is indeed delayed.

Zhong Zhiyu understood what he cared about, so he bowed to Zhenbei Wang Yingying, urging him to hurry up and rest, and took Chunhe and Duyun to the Buddhist hall where the Liu family was imprisoned.
