"It's not too early, the old man can't catch up with you, high priest, young and promising, brave and knowledgeable, the Fire Phoenix Country has a loyal person like you, it's a great luck."

"In my Huofeng, loyal people abound, I am just doing my duty, but I want to be worthy of my heart, but there is a sage like Mrs. Su who has the heart of the world, which is enviable."

"Hahaha... High Priest, what a worthy one", Su Ke squinted with a smile, stroked his gray beard, and nodded frequently to Zhan Li.

"Let Mrs. Su smile", Zhan Li was a little embarrassed, saw the threshold under his feet, stretched out his hand to help Su Ke and said: "It's dark, I'll send you back to the room first."

Su Ke nodded lightly and said, "Then there is the High Priest Lao."

After sending Su Ke back to the room, he returned to his residence the same way, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Zheng Ke open the door first: "High priest, are you back"?

"Hmm...", Zhan Li walked in sideways, Zheng Ke glanced outside and closed the door.

"High priest, this evening there was a word that the soldiers guarding the west side of the city had lifted the ban, and the people west of the city went home."

"Is it", it became clear after thinking about it, and said, "That's good, your family is good"?

"Well, I'm settled."

"High Priest, why did you say that An Lu suddenly released the people"?

"It's not An Lu, it's Su Ke and Mrs. Su."

"Ahh The envoy who came to the peace talks was Mrs. Su, that is the country of Xiaoyao, and even the most respectable person", Zheng Ke sighed with emotion: "High priest, have you already seen him"?

"Exactly, therefore, it now seems that this peace talks are at least half more certain."

"That's great".

Zhan Li looked at Zheng Ke and said, "Hey, don't you like marching and fighting?"

"Of course I don't like it, if I can live and work in peace and contentment, who would want to fight, but if a man protects his family and country, if the war is unavoidable, he will not hesitate to die on the battlefield."

"Hmm...", Zhan Li looked at Zheng Ke, couldn't help but feel a little respectful, and said with an appreciative smile: "I'm tired for a day, let's go back and rest early."

"Yes, High Priestess, you should rest early," Zheng Ke said and withdrew.

Yan Li walked by the bed, leaning on the bed, thinking a lot, thinking of Yan Moyu, and I don't know how they are now, whether they have reached Wuji Valley, and when they will be able to come back.

On the second day, Zheng Ke went out early in the morning to investigate, and he walked around almost the entire mansion, but he didn't see Su Ke, and asked someone, only to say that Su Ke and An Lu went out early in the morning.

At lunchtime, the attendant sent the food, and the attendant asked, but the attendant was not clear, helpless, and hastily used some food, and came to the gate of the official residence, and saw that there were four people standing guard, thinking that someone would stop him, but unexpectedly the soldier standing guard only asked his name and let him go.

Zhan Li walked on the street of Donglong City, looking at the depressed and cold streets, the doors and windows were closed everywhere, and he didn't see a few people all the way, and he felt quite sad in his heart, a city became so because of the war, which is really distressing.

After walking a few streets, he returned to the residence, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he saw that the attendant who had delivered the meal had been waiting for a long time.

"High Priest, are you back?" The attendant hurriedly ran up and asked.

"What's wrong"?

"Mrs. Su and Marshal An are invited."

"Oh...", Zhan Li was not much surprised, on the contrary, he was a little abnormally calm: "Let's go", Zhan Li motioned for the attendant to lead the way.

Yan Li was led outside the study, two soldiers outside the door each side, the attendant reported and left, Su Ke's voice came from inside, Yan Li pushed the door without hesitation, and caught a glimpse of Su Ke sitting in front of the bookcase, with a serious look on his face, An Lu stood on one side, without the anger of the last time they met, but still a cold look that refused to be thousands of miles away.

Su Ke saw Yan Li coming in, beckoned Yan Li to come over and said, "High Priest, please sit", turned around and said to An Lu: "You can sit too", An Lu took a deep breath and sat down steadily.

When he sat down, he was thinking, but he saw an attendant quietly retreat after serving tea and bring him to the door.

"High priest, presumably the high priest has already seen it in the city just now, and the old student has something to say today, I have already read the peace book of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, so I sent the old man to come, and the old man is willing to settle this matter peacefully in the spirit of the compassion of the common people in the world, don't provoke war again, I don't know what the high priest wants"?

Although Zhan Li had already thought that today would be the first game of the peace talks, he really didn't expect that Su Ke would say it so directly, but he still agreed with Su Ke's words, so he said: "Su Taifu said very much, Zhan Li is thinking so."

"That's good, the old student won't go around the pass, I am willing to withdraw from Donglong City, but there are conditions", Su Ke said and stared at Zhan Li.

"Mrs. Su, you might as well talk about the conditions first", Yan Li was overjoyed when he heard that he was willing to withdraw from Donglong City, but his face was still calm, and he glanced at An Lu, thinking that the conditions would definitely not be easy.

"Well, first, Huofeng must compensate for all the losses of my free life this time, counting 100,000 taels of silver; Second, hand over the murderer who killed my uncle Teng Yicheng this time; Third, after that, Donglong City officially opened up to the mutual market, allowing my Xiaoyao people to enter and exit to do business, and ensuring the safety of my Xiaoyao people in Donglong City", Su Ke took a sip of the teacup in his hand after speaking: "On these three points, the high priest can consider it, but the time should not be too long, if you don't get a reply within seven days, then the old student will not be able to do anything", after speaking, he looked at An Lu again.

After listening to Su Ke's words, he didn't feel that his palms were sweating, no matter which of these three conditions was a great problem for the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, it was difficult for him to decide for a while.

Su Ke seemed to have seen through Yu Li's thoughts, put down the teacup lightly, looked at Yan Li with a smile and said, "High Priest, you can think about it, within seven days, the East Dragon City Gate will allow the High Priest to enter and exit."

"I thanked Mrs. Su first, but there are not many three conditions, killing people pays for life, my Huofeng country has its own national law, and I will not let the murderer go unpunished, but whether the number of 100,000 taels is too much, as for whether to open the Donglong City mutual market, isn't this incident caused by the mutual market, and then the mutual market, I am afraid of causing trouble."

"Three conditions, one cannot be missing, it's not that Huofeng Country doesn't have this sincerity", An Lu, who has not spoken, is aggressive when he exits.

After glancing at An Lu, he looked at Su Ke and said, "Has Mrs. Su considered my suggestion?"

Su Ke looked at Yan Li and said with a smile: "High Priest, the peace talks between the two countries are not all about you and me, why don't we discuss it another day, we have the answer?"

Yan Li thought about it, it is indeed true, it is better to find and inform Nangong Yuan first, and then send a message back to Fengdu.

So, Yu Li got up to say goodbye, and Su Ke sent a pass. He left Zheng Ke to continue in the city, and he carried out the order alone and went out of the city overnight.

When he saw the torches of the East Battalion from afar, he hurriedly waved his horsewhip and galloped away.

In the military tent in the East Camp, Nangong Yuan pinched the blue and white teacup in his hand with some anxiety, and when he saw Zhai Hong leading Yan Li in, he immediately stood up, walked in front of Yan Li and looked at it first: "High priest, how is it?"

Yu Li walked to the big desk, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it first, and then said slowly.

Nangong Yuan heard that there were three conditions, and angrily crushed the blue and white teacup in his hand.

Zhai Hong stood aside with his eyebrows tightly locked, with a look of righteous indignation.

Yan Li first calmed the two and asked, "Do you have any other news?"

"Hmm... You don't say I forgot", Zhai Hong calmed down and said: "An Lu's people went to the neighborhood to buy food and met our people, the two sides fought, we injured a few people, but the other party didn't take advantage."

"When did this happen"? He asked hurriedly.

"This afternoon," Zhai Hong replied.

"Then I ask you if they can procure food"? He asked further.

"The two armies are facing each other, the grain and grass go first, we have already begun to hoard grain, and we have collected the surrounding cities and villages, so they naturally can't buy grain."

"So, they are short of food and grass", said Yu Li, glancing at the two of them, and the meaning could not be more obvious.

Nangong Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was more inclined to attack the city directly, and his careful thinking could not escape the eyes of Zhan Li.

In the course of his centrifugation, he went over the matter of peace talks again in his mind, and felt that the three conditions might have room for maneuver.

The three of them discussed this matter for about an hour, and finally reached a consensus, not to start a war for the time being, and to send someone to quickly send the news back to Fengdu, on the other hand, Zhan Li returned to Donglong City to stabilize the other party, Nangong Yuan and Zhai Hong thought of some ways to add some chaos to An Lu and make him anxious.

After a short rest, he left the camp tent, ready to leave, and before leaving, he specially told Nangong Yuan: "General Nangong, don't be reckless, don't clash with An Lu head-on."

"I know, I actually promised you that I will know how to be proportionate", Nangong Yuan was still reluctant.

"Zhai Zongbing...", before he could speak, Zhai Hong already understood: "Don't worry, I will take care of my subordinates."

"Hmm...", he nodded trustingly, turned over his horse, and rode away.

He returned to the city overnight, met Zheng Ke in the city, and did not go back to the official residence, but finally found an inn to live in the city.

On the third day, Zhan Li took the initiative to go to the official residence, asked to meet Su Ke, and conducted another round of negotiation on the three conditions, the two sides discussed for a whole day, and in the end there was no result, Su Ke has not made a clear statement on the amount of compensation, but at least it is not as much as 100,000 taels, which is quite gratifying to him, but for the other two, Su Ke has always insisted. Zhan Li had no choice but to temporarily stop the negotiations, and wait for Fengdu to reply before making a decision.
