On the fourth day, when Tan Li heard the news of Zheng Ke's inquiry, some soldiers under An Lu actually robbed and injured people in the city, and also raped the people's daughters, and immediately became angry, and found Su Ke to talk about the matter, and happened to meet An Lu present, had a dispute with him, and broke up unhappily.

After he left, Su Ke left An Lu behind.

"Marshal An...", Su Ke's face was displeased, and he reprimanded: "You'd better manage your soldiers, and during the peace talks, it's best not to make trouble, so as not to miss a big event."

"Mrs. Su, forgive me, don't you know that now that the 100,000 army is in the city, the food is no longer enough, and they are not allowed to find something to eat by themselves, so they will starve to death."

Su Ke is worthy of being a generation of famous ministers, and he figured out An Lu's temperament, adjusted his mood and changed his tone to a bitter tone: "Marshal An, robbing and injuring people, raping people's daughters and other filthy things insult the reputation of the free country, and also insult your prestige in governing the army."

An Lu is a smooth donkey, seeing that Su Ke is calmer, he is not so impulsive, and said coldly: "If Mrs. Su can solve the matter of grain and grass, I promise that I will never let such an incident happen again."

"I'll ask the high priest about it", Su Ke had a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"He, what to do with him"? An Lu's look of disdain had always been at odds with the high priest.

"Marshal An, this time you cut first and then play, capture the East Dragon City, His Majesty the Emperor is already displeased, if we negotiate peace, we will not lose wow, for the sake of peace talks, you can't be polite to the high priest"?

"Hmph... The Fire Phoenix Kingdom occupies the fertile land of Heding, rich in things and rich in people, His Majesty the Emperor, has long had the intention of attacking the Fire Phoenix."

"But now is not the time, now is the time to go to war, our chances of winning are not high," Su Ke advised An Lu, and when he saw that he no longer spoke, he didn't say anything.

An Lu stayed for a while, and saw that Su Ke was very busy and felt bored, so he got up and said goodbye and went back.

On the fifth day, Su Ke sent someone to invite him to lunch, and he wanted to mention the matter of borrowing grain many times, but he still couldn't speak.

Zhan Li saw that Su Ke had something to ask but was not easy to speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "Mrs. Su, what's the matter, you might as well say it, let's discuss it together."

"Since the high priest asked, the old man said bluntly", Su Ke paused, coughed, and continued: "Yesterday's incident was that we were not strict in governing the army, so we did not do anything wrong. Marshal An has been in the city for more than a month, and the soldiers feel homesick, and if this peace talks are successful, it will be better for them to return to their homeland."

"We are sincere in the peace talks, but some conditions are really unacceptable."

"High Priest, we can discuss the compensation in the terms of the peace talks, and the other two items were specially explained by His Majesty the Emperor when he came to the old man, and they will definitely not be changed."

Yu Li had some doubts, but now that Su Ke said it, he was more sure in his heart, and he also had a plan for the amount of compensation, but he didn't receive a reply from Fengdu at this time, so he didn't dare to call the shots.

Yan Li and Su Ke chatted tentatively with each other, but after all, they couldn't get a relatively specific number from each other's mouths.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, Zheng Ke woke up with a reply from Fengdu, and he opened the letter and confirmed that it was Qihou's handwriting, which did not give the specific amount of compensation accepted, but revealed that the silver in the treasury was less than 30,000 taels, and let him do it himself, and it was reasonable to hand over the murderer.

After reading the seal, he confirmed the answer, but there were still some tangled places, and he had to think about it carefully, and he also had to add some bargaining chips to the peace talks, so he handed the book to Zheng Ke and asked him to send it to Dongdaying as soon as possible.

Zhan Li was not in a hurry, and when he received Nangong Yuan's letter it was already after noon on the seventh day, he thought to himself: "It's almost time to end this dispute."

There was a knock on the door, and an attendant outside the door respectfully reported: "High Priest, Mrs. Su and Marshal An are invited."

"Got it", Zhan Li nodded and smiled, and replied to Zheng Ke: "Let's go together"

Zheng Ke nodded silently, followed Yu Li, and went to the main hall of the official residence with the attendants.

In the main hall, Su Ke was already waiting in the right seat in front of the large round table, An Lu was in the position on Su Ke's left hand side, Zhan Li naturally walked to Su Ke's right hand and sat down, and Zheng Ke stood about a zhang behind Zhan Li.

Su Ke asked someone to make a cup of hot tea for Yan Li and said, "High Priest, taste it, this is the flower tea that the old man brought from Xiaojing."

Yan Li took a sip, and sure enough, the fragrance of flowers was faint, and he took a sip of refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and praised it: "Good tea."

An Lu glanced at Yu Li, glanced at Su Ke again, snorted coldly, drank it in a big gulp, and let people add it.

"High Priest, there should be a conclusion today", Su Ke's warm smile hung on his face.

"I think so", Zhan Li's expression was flat, and his smile was as good as ever.

"That's just right, I wonder if the High Priest will have a reply to the last two conditions we have proposed."

"Murder pays for life, we will do our best to investigate this case, and we will definitely give justice to the deceased. The opening of the Donglong City mutual market is feasible, but to ensure the safety of the people in the East Dragon City, I think there should be a lot of details that need to be confirmed, and then discussed. As for the compensation, I can't accept it. ”

As soon as these words came out, An Lu immediately stood up, Su Ke pulled him to sit down, looked at Yan Li and said: "High Priest, I have suffered a lot of losses in this dispute, and we need to give an account to those merchants and civilians."

"Mrs. Su said very much, there are rights and wrongs in this dispute, but you look at the people of my Donglong City now, there are not a few people who have broken their families and died, they are already suffering from war, they can't eat enough, they can't sleep at night, but they are imprisoned, robbed, and killed, they need an explanation", Yu Li said that his eyes were red, and he looked at An Lu with justice and awe.

An Lu glared back fiercely, and the hand holding the cup was already squeaking.

Seeing this, Su Ke put one hand on An Lu, signaling him to calm down.

"Mrs. Su, the two countries are fighting, only the people are suffering, after this war, there is no winner, we hold the imperial power, if we can't really think about the people, then do they still have a way to live", Zhan Li's words came from the bottom of his heart, which made Su Ke also a little moved.

"Su Taifu, don't hide it, the 300,000 troops of my Fire Phoenix Kingdom are stationed outside the city, and there is plenty of food and grass, if the peace talks fail, I would rather fight for a river of blood than recapture Donglong City. But the war is together, there are countless casualties, and there is a lot of grief, how can I bear it? ”

When An Lu heard this, he was furious, but he didn't dare to act rashly, not because he was afraid of his 300,000 army, but because he had been in the city for a long time, the grain and grass had long been empty, and he had not many chances of winning if he fought so hard.

Su Ke heard it well, knowing that he was prepared, if he couldn't agree to give up Donglong City today, a war would be inevitable, and after thinking about the time of a cup of tea, he laughed a few times and said: "High priest, you really have the courage to be brave, it's really terrifying!" In this way, High Priest, we agree to give up the city of the Eastern Dragon, but we need to be given three thousand loads of grain and grass, and let us be allowed for another three days, and after three days we will return in full clothes."

"Mrs. Su, I have thanked Mrs. Su for my compassion for the world, there are no three thousand loads of grain and grass, only one thousand loads of grain and grass, as for you, let you repair in the city for three days, you can't be the master, you have to ask General Nangong outside the city."

An Lu was already a little breathless, and when he heard the mention of Nangong Yuan, it was even more angry, Su Ke got up and pressed one hand on An Lu's shoulder, although he couldn't twist An Lu's strength, but he also tried his best to hold him.

Su Ke glanced at Yan Li, meaning that he should not stimulate An Lu, and sighed lightly and said: "Then it is okay for us to go out of the city early tomorrow morning, but before we go out of the city, we must first see the thousand loads of grain and grass."

"Okay...", the hand that had been clenched behind his back finally let go.

Su Ke looked at Zhan Li, smiled, got up and pulled La Anlu, "So, high priest, let's take our leave first."

He got up and sent Su Ke out of the main hall door, and said softly: "Mrs. Su, I have offended a lot, and I hope to understand."

Su Ke smiled, patted Tan Li's shoulder, and turned to leave.

After seeing Su Ke leave, he turned back to Zheng Ke and said: "You go out of the city, bring a letter to General Nangong and General Zhai, and let me prepare a thousand loads of grain and grass, and see you outside the city early tomorrow morning."

"Yes", Zheng Ke threw himself to the ground at the moment with the five bodies that he had already admired, and when he heard the order, he immediately went to do it.

Early the next morning, inside the city gate, An Lu led all the soldiers to get ready, and when he saw Su Ke and Yan Li coming over, he turned his head and snorted coldly at Yan Li.

Su Ke motioned to An Lu and asked him to open the city gate.

The city gate was opened by ten soldiers from the inside, the city gates on both sides moved slowly, outside the city gate, Nangong Yuan and Zhai Hong appeared in front of them on a high-headed horse, and they walked over, and the two dismounted and said a few words to Yan Li, and then ordered the soldiers to get out of the way on both sides, leaving a road in the middle that was enough for four people to pass through in parallel.

"High priest, what about a thousand loads of grain and grass"? Su Ke ordered an adjutant general to shout towards Yuli.

"A thousand quintals of grain and grass, only a little more, if you go ten miles, you can send someone to check," Zhai Hong replied.

An Lu and Nangong Yuan looked at each other, and suddenly the fire was overflowing, each other was a rare opponent in each other's eyes, and they couldn't wait to hand him over immediately.

Su Ke glanced at An Lu and followed his eyes, presumably it was General Hou Nangong Yuan. Now I can't manage so much, so I sent someone to lead a team of people to inspect the grain and grass.

Estimating the time of a cup of tea, someone reported that the grain and grass were ready, and Su Ke was relieved when he heard it.

An Lu gave an order, the army moved forward slowly, and when it moved to the city gate, An Lu happened to face Nangong Yuan, and the two fought with each other for a long time before turning their heads.

Su Ke's horse walked up to Yu Li and said: "High priest, don't forget the agreement between you and me, find out the murderer and send it to Xiaojing within a month, and officially open the Donglong City Mutual Market after a month."

"Mrs. Su, don't worry, I, Huofeng Kingdom, will never violate the peace negotiation agreement, and I will also remember the agreement with you," Yu Li said with a smile.

"That's good, the old body is waiting for you in Xiaojing", Su Ke finished speaking, and spurred the horse away.
