Volume 2 ❀ Ignorant years, two by two Chapter 037 Negotiation
The man sat at the tea table, his back straight, and he was dressed in a black satin-trimmed robe with a scarlet and white jade belt around his waist. The cuffs and placket are inlaid with gold thread auspicious cloud patterns.
His long jet-black hair was tied haphazardly with a black ribbon, and a few strands of hair on his forehead were blown by the wind outside the window. Judging from Yu Baiyi's direction, this person has his head slightly raised, his complexion is fair, the bridge of his nose is high, and the curvature of his chin is perfectly abnormal.
When Ye Yugui heard the voice, he turned his head and looked up and down at Yu Baiyi, who was dressed in dust, for a while, and immediately judged that this was the eldest son of General Yu Xu's family, he nodded slightly, and then stretched out his palm and pointed to the opposite position and said in a deep voice: "General Yu, please take a seat." ”
Yu Baiyi shook the cloak on his body, and walked to Ye Yugui in front of him and sat down in three or two steps: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince met for the first time, and Yu Baiyi, the eldest son of the general, came to act as a guard for His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince on the order of his father. ”
Ye Yugui was raising his eyes to look at Yu Baiyi at this moment, and after being silent for a while, he chuckled: "I have heard of General Yu in the palace for a long time, but it is really better to see than to hear, and he is really a young talent." ”
Yu Baiyi smiled silently, raised the teacup to Ye Yugui and said loudly: "Your Highness praises falsely." ”
"Seeing that General Yu is the same age as me, then you and I don't have to be polite, I will call you Brother Yu in the future, and you can just call me Brother Ye." Ye Yugui also raised the teacup and gestured slightly towards Yu Baiyi.
"Good! His Royal Highness the Seven Princes is a cheerful person! I like it. Yu Baixi smiled heartily, he has been in the army for a long time, so he has never liked to associate with those scheming dignitaries in the palace, he once had the honor to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince is strict and decent, but he is not right with himself.
So he thinks that the princes in the palace are all rigorous and rigid. But the person in front of him was beyond his expectations, and he spoke as if he was a friend in his army, without the slightest princely style.
"Presumably Brother Yu has heard about what happened from your father." Ye Yugui's face turned pale, and the smile between the corners of Fang Cai's mouth gradually faded.
It was a fine day, and the snow on the street had taken a lot, and the sunlight was slanting into the house on the melting dew, shining on the faces of the two who were talking in a low voice.
Shen Shi, Yu Baiyi stood beside Ye Yugui with his head bowed and was silent, while Ye Yugui stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the traffic on the street, and after about a quarter of an hour, Ye Yugui said softly: "It's here." ”
After a while, the door of the house was rudely pushed open, and the person who came was about twenty years old, burly and tall, with resolute and handsome facial features, a healthy complexion, and a sharp look in his eyes.
Ye Yugui heard the sound but was not angry at all, and turned slightly to meet Liao Yunfei's eyes.
Liao Yunfei couldn't help but be vigilant at the first glance when he saw Ye Yugui, and out of a wild intuition, he subconsciously took a step back.
This person has handsome facial features, fair complexion, and looks a little better than a woman, and he is not afraid of attack at all. He is slightly shorter than himself, and his age is no more than sixteen. But his eyes were so dark that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Then Liao Yunfei came back to his senses, and the corner of his mouth sneered: "Is this the sincerity of your great victory, you actually sent a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child to negotiate with me." ”
Yu Baixi didn't feel a little annoyed when he heard this, he knew that Ye Yugui was definitely more mature than his age, and he believed that Liao Yunfei could also see it, but at this moment, he was so outspoken.
I saw that Ye Yugui was not angry and laughed, and his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his tone was not impatient: "It's a pity that the life and death of tens of thousands of people on your northern border are held in the hands of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child like me at this moment." ”
Liao Yunfei squinted slightly, the air in the room became solemn in an instant, his tone was smiling, but his eyes looked straight at Ye Yugui, and the light in his eyes flashed dangerously: "Then if I kill you today, will my northern people also follow you to the Yellow Spring." ”
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Yu Baiyi's forehead, his right hand had already grasped the sword at his waist, and his spirit was also tense, and a pair of eyes were staring at Liao Yunfei.
Ye Yugui was not afraid of Liao Yunfei's words at all, and his eyes still did not change and looked at him. Then his thin lips opened slightly: "What does Master Liao think." ”
Liao Yunfei had already appeared behind Ye Yugui in the next moment, and at some point, he actually took out a delicate silver dagger from his arms and pressed it against his bare neck.
The dagger was tightly pressed against Ye Yugui's neck, and with a little force, the flesh and blood could be exposed.
And Liao Yunfei's speed made Yu Baiyi look surprised, and he stayed where he was for a long time and didn't come back to his senses. Pulling out his sword, he was about to rush towards Liao Yunfei, but was stopped by Ye Yugui raising his hand.
Ye Yugui's expression was calm, as if the sharp blade against his neck was just a willow leaf, and he still smiled: "I think Liao Dangjia is a smart person, and he shouldn't be stupid enough to lose the lives of all the people in the north to bury an irrelevant person like me, do you say?" ”
Yu Baiyi's eyes didn't dare to blink at this moment, staring closely at the hand of the dagger held by Liao Yunfei. If he dares to make a move, he will be arrested.
Liao Yunfei suddenly laughed, and let go of the dagger against Ye Yugui's neck: "If you have the courage, it is not in vain that I came all the way, if you show a trace of timidity, I will not hesitate to be a hostage, but you are really a bloody man, the knife is still indifferent to the neck, Liao admires and admires, and dares to ask His Excellency." ”
Ye Yugui stroked his neck, the top was still as smooth as ever, and he didn't care about it on his face, but he had already written down the account in his heart, and then said with a hearty smile: "Ye Yugui." ”
Liao Yunfei twisted his eyebrows, chewed on the name repeatedly in his heart, and then suddenly realized: "You are the prince?" ”
Ye Yugui raised his head slightly, and his face was calm: "I am ranked seventh in the palace." ”
"It was originally the Seventh Prince, so Liao was really disrespectful. dared to be rude to the emperor's son. Liao Yunfei said so, but there was no apology on his face, and he was still very arrogant.
Yu Bai disagreed, although Liao Yunfei's words were still not good, but he had already lost his anger. Only then did he loosen his grip on the hilt of the sword.
"Identity and status are all things outside the body, and what the prince doesn't see is better than the civilians on the street." Ye Yugui sighed lightly, and then said: "Master Liao, please sit down, we can't just stand and talk all the time, besides, I'm afraid that you will put the dagger on my chest next time while standing." ”
After sitting down, Liao Yunfei picked up the teacup, which was less than half the size of his palm, frowned and said with disgust: "Do you people in Beijing drink tea with such a small and stingy thing?" With that, he tossed the little teacup aside.
Ye Yugui ignored his actions, but directly went straight to the point: "Tell me the conditions for your withdrawal of troops." ”
Liao Yunfei raised his eyebrows and said "oh", then tilted his head to look out the window with his chin in his hand, and then his eyes lit up, and the person who was very interested in him yesterday flashed on the street, as if it was Liu Xiaorui...
His eyes kept tracking Liu Xiaorui's figure and disappearing into a restaurant. Then he retracted his gaze and said to Ye Yu, who was looking at him with blazing eyes: "I want a million stones of grain." If you don't say yes, then there is no point in talking to you and me today. ”
Yu Baiyi listened to Liao Yunfei's lion opening on the side, and couldn't help but gasp, what a lion's big mouth this is, the number of people in the northern border area is less than 50,000, and the grain of one million stone is equivalent to the rations of all the people in the north for two years.
In this situation, he guessed that the palace could promise a maximum of 500,000 stone of grain. The original purpose was to let the northern border survive the cold winter of the past few months, and 500,000 stones was already a lot, but now this Liao Yunfei actually asked for double. Even if Ye Yugui agrees now, I'm afraid the emperor won't agree.
Between them, Liao Yunfei looked at Ye Yugui with a provocative expression, but his expression was completely non-negotiable.
I saw Ye Yugui pour himself a cup of tea unhurriedly, then blew the hot air on it and drank it all, and then said in a deep voice: "Thirty stones, there are only so many, either the deal or..."
"Bang" Liao Yunfei slapped his right palm the table, his eyes suddenly became cold, his eyes were like a knife stabbing Ye Yugui's body, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, are you joking with me, 300,000 stones, do you think you really sent the flower on the side of the street." ”
Ye Yugui glanced at the tea that had been spilled on the table due to the violent vibration, and his eyes were reflected in it, and things had developed as he expected so far.
"There won't be 300,000 stone of grain to give to Hanako on the side of the street."
Liao Yunfei sneered, it seems that this young prince is not as easy to deal with as he imagined. "700,000, 700,000 stone grain and grass, it can't be less. You must know that there is a limit to my patience, and the soldiers of our army will not wait a few more days for you. ”
At the moment, the atmosphere in the house is tense, which is a vivid contrast to the noise of the street.
Ye Yugui changed his words, and said lightly: "Presumably, Liao Dangjia has been a little boring in Beijing these days, why don't I invite the most famous Qingqi Tian Ning Shuangshuang girl in this innisian building to dance and use it to have some fun?" ”
Ye Yugui bit Tian Ning's double three words very hard, and then raised his eyes to look at Liao Yunfei with a smile.
Yu Baiyi heard Wu Wei say yesterday that the famous dancer Tian Ningshuang, who resounded in the capital, was actually Liao Yunfei's biological sister and the pearl of the northern leader.
Seeing Ye Yugui talk about it today, he must have known about it for a long time, and planned to use it to blackmail Liao Yunfei.
Sure enough, Liao Yunfei's face sank when he heard Tian Ningshuangsan's words, and he raised his body and stretched out his hand to grab Ye Yugui, but Ye Yugui reacted very quickly and tilted his head unhurriedly to dodge.
Yu Bai stepped forward with an arrow, drew his sword and put it on Liao Yunfei's neck, and then warned: "Don't think you can succeed like last time. ”
Liao Yunfei glared fiercely, then calmed down and sat down again.
"What did you do to my sister?" Liao Yunfei's rare tone softened.
Ye Yugui raised his eyes to signal Yu Baiyi to put down the sword in his hand, and Yu Baiyi slowly withdrew the long sword, but he still stood behind Liao Yunfei with a vigilant face.
"Don't worry, the housekeeper is safe, as long as Liao doesn't do anything."
Liao Yunfei had already cursed Ye Yugui in his heart, he never expected that Ye Yugui would know that his biggest weakness was Liao Yunyun, although he was unwilling, he could only compromise.
"Seventh Prince, how about you and I take a step back in this situation now."
