The realm of the five-grade martial artist is respected as a hundred people to slash, and the cultivation of this realm is not trivial, and the skill is not something that can be competed with by many people.

Therefore, in the face of Zhuge Yuanba of the Five Rank Realm, the leader of the assassins was shocked. But then he couldn't think about it, because Zhuge Yuanba's violent attacks followed.

In addition, there was also a four-rank realm Wu combat technique, as well as the three-rank realm Wei Guang and Peony who attacked with cold arrows, so this group of assassins did not stir up any waves, and they were annihilated by the four of them one by one before Yan Linglong did not even get close to them.

Originally, Zhuge Yuanba deliberately left the leader of the assassins, but when he saw that the mission had failed, he was afraid that there was no chance of escape, so he committed suicide directly.

Yan Linglong watched the assassin's corpse lined up among the chrysanthemums, blood splashed on the chrysanthemums, and a little bit of blood reflected the yellow and white chrysanthemums, bloody and cold.

Xiao Rui also came out of the pagoda and thanked Zhuge Yuanba for his great help.

Zhuge Yuanba smiled: "You owe me a favor, and you can pay it back when you have the opportunity!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Naturally, Princess Linglong will definitely not be stingy when the time comes!"

Zhuge Yuanba ignored his little Jiujiu and left here.

Xiao Rui walked up to Yan Linglong and asked, "See who is the black hand?"

"Sure one! The other one is yet to be confirmed! Yan Linglong said.

"Can I know who it is?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Linglong smiled: "This is my private matter of the Great Yan Kingdom, so I won't worry about it Your Highness."

Xiao Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, anyway, I said that I would only offer help and wouldn't ask more." Do you still need me to send someone to escort Her Royal Highness back? ”

Yan Linglong put on a bamboo hat, turned around and said as she left, "No!"

Looking at her departing back, Xiao Rui couldn't help but laugh, this arrogant little temper!

"Tactics, go and inform Dongchang, just say kill a group of assassins and let them deal with it. There is a corpse in the middle of the Buddha's door, my Buddha is merciful, my Buddha is merciful. Xiao Rui sighed.

Wu Zhanfa immediately went to spread the word.

Xiao Rui returned to the mansion and sent someone to the other courtyard to inquire about the situation, Yan Linglong didn't do anything after she went back, everything was normal. Even when Baiyun Mountain returned, it was still very calm.

It seems that Yan Linglong has no intention of dealing with black hands.

"Sir, it seems that I underestimated this delicate princess!" Xiao Rui said.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "It seems that not only will she not kill the mastermind behind the scenes, but she is also ready to use it." This is the resourcefulness and strength that should be required to do great things, and this woman is indeed not simple. ”

Xiao Rui agreed: "It is naturally Prince Yan who wants to kill Yan Linglong, I heard that this Prince Yan is mediocre and does not like government affairs, but he is ruthless, such a person is not suitable to be a prince, but he is suitable to become a steward similar to Dongchang." Ha ha... If Yan Linglong becomes the emperor, it will be a good thing for Dayan..."

"What about Da Xia?" Jia Xu asked.

Xiao Rui thought about the gains and losses for a while, and said: "Dayan came to us to form an alliance because he wanted to pull the tiger's skin and drive the wolf and gobble up the tiger, and it was a safe back for Daxia. So forming an alliance is a good thing, but Yan Linglong being the emperor is not necessarily a good thing. If Prince Yan becomes the emperor, although he may also form an alliance, this person is ruthless and is very likely to rebel. So I think it's better to let the two fight, even if Yan Linglong really becomes the emperor in the end, she has to find a way to make her not quiet. Great Yan must be weak to be the most beneficial to Great Xia. ”

"As for how not to be quiet, a woman is the emperor, and the families of Dayan are the biggest resistance force! Even Emperor Wuying, who was unparalleled in the world back then, killed most of the family and made the entire Dayan family tremble, and the emperor who sat down became the only empress. Yan Linglong is not good yet. ”

Jia Xu smiled, and hurriedly got up and handed over: "Your Highness has analyzed it very thoroughly."

In fact, Jia Xu was so formal because he was excited in his heart, because he saw that Xiao Rui had gradually gotten better and was moving towards a monarch.

Xiao Rui hurriedly asked Jia Xu to sit down, and then said: "The real negotiations will start tomorrow, and Dayan will definitely not agree to the alliance conditions proposed by Da Xia."

According to the results of the preliminary negotiations in the early stage, the Great Xia side proposed that if it wants to form an alliance, Dayan must meet three conditions of Great Xia:

First, Dayan paid five million taels to the Great Xia Kingdom every year for the alliance without delay.

Second, if the Great Yan Kingdom is attacked by the enemy and needs the support of Great Xia, then all the expenses of the support of the Great Xia Kingdom will be borne by the Great Yan Kingdom.

Third, in order to promote the stability of the alliance, Dayan needs to unilaterally send a prince as a proton.

If these three conditions are met, the next step is the official content of the alliance between the two sides, and the official content is very equal.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Five million taels is by no means a small amount for Dayan!" They naturally have to fight against it on the basis of reason, and there is a second one, once there is a war, the cost of sending troops in Great Xia will be a huge amount of money! As for the third, it doesn't matter. ”

The reason why the negotiations between the two countries take a long time is because one is ruthless and the other is not given, and this back and forth will take a long time.

Tomorrow's negotiations, Xiao Rui will have to participate in person, and fight hard to make sure that Daxia earns two silver.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the weather was overcast, clouds were accumulating, and it seemed that heavy rain was coming.

Xiao Rui took a carriage to the other courtyard, and other officials from the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites had already arrived, and the eldest prince Xiao Lie and the fourth prince Xiao Feng also came to participate.

When the rain fell, the negotiations between the two sides officially began.

Xiao Rui and Du Juan sat at the forefront of both sides, and the negotiation was naturally negotiated by the people below.

I only heard Lan Junbo of the Great Yan Kingdom say: "My lords of Great Xia, the three prerequisites you put forward are too excessive, even harsh! We have worked tirelessly to come here for the mutual benefit of both sides, and the process is equal. I, the Great Yan Kingdom, didn't come to beg for mercy for the defeat to compensate! Please take a good attitude! ”

An Beishan, the young secretary of the Honglu Temple in Great Xia, immediately retorted: "Lord Lan's words are not right, it was your country that implored for an alliance, not my Great Xia who took the initiative to ask for it. Your country is now under enemy on both sides, if you lose this friend of Great Xia again, have you thought about the consequences? Now you only need to pay a very small amount of money in exchange for the strongest support of the Great Xia Kingdom, Lord Lan, you should understand this truth! ”

Huang Qiusheng retorted: "Definitely. I heard that there is a saying in the country of Great Xia, there are eggs under the nest! If I am destroyed by Dayan, the next one will be Da Xia! Because the ambitions of the Great Wei State are not trivial, and the Great Qi and the Great Zhao have quite a gap with your country, don't you understand this truth? ”

The eldest prince Xiao Lie immediately retorted: "I, Daxia, are all united, how can I be afraid of Daqi and Dazhao? Even if you go to war at the same time, you can handle it easily! ”

"What about the Great Wei Kingdom? Great Wei is the most powerful of the Seven Kingdoms! ”

"Da Wei? Haha, he dared to come across Dayan? Let him come! You can't beat him! ”

"His Royal Highness King Duan, although you are the prince of Great Xia, please also respect your opponent. If Great Wei knew that you despised them like this, he would definitely wave his troops north! ”

"The king is looking forward to him! All in all, five million taels can't be less! ”

"I'll just say that five million taels is too much, and this precedent can't be opened!"

"Five million taels is too much? That's good, 4,990,000 taels, it can't be less. has already given your country enough face! ”

"What? Only 10,000 taels? Where did your country put the face of my Dayan! In addition, there is a second one, which cannot be agreed! Great Xia sent troops, not only to aid Dayan, but also to protect himself, why did all the expenses of sending troops let our Dayan Kingdom bear? ”

"Please understand that the adults of your country's mission will naturally send troops to help you, don't you need to charge a certain fee? There is no free lunch in the world, and my brothers have to settle accounts! ”

……

When the two sides retreat to a balance point, the negotiation is completed.

Xiao Rui listened to the arguments of the two sides and felt that the negotiation was boring. Looking out the window, the sky was even more gloomy, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and shallow water had formed in the courtyard, according to this rain, it is estimated that it will not stop for a day.
