Chapter 381: Negotiation Prerequisites

And after King Hong came to Yanling, he saw that Sima Hongyan was young, so he had a heart of deception, and couldn't help but speak intimidating, trying to bluff Yanling and achieve the goal of peace, who knew that Sima Hongyan didn't care about what you said at all, just turned around and left, not caring about Dongning's coercion at all. This was self-defeating, and Lan Shengwu had no choice but to relent, so he invited Sima Hongyan back.

But this time, as soon as he gave in, the initiative was immediately handed over to Sima Hongyan, and the condition for peace was that Yanling took the initiative, although King Hong was unwilling, but he was helpless.

It's ridiculous that Zhuge Yu, the prince of Nanyi, seems to be shrewd but his mind is blank, and he didn't have a good understanding of the situation of various countries before he came.

He didn't understand the secret contest between King Hong and Lord Feng at all, and watched King Hong belittle Lord Feng blankly, but he panicked to prevent Lord Feng from leaving the table. He was so confused that he didn't know what was going on. originally thought that the phoenix lord Sima Hongyan was playing tricks, but looking at King Hong's weak heart, it didn't seem to be the case.

Especially the look in the phoenix lord just now, it was too terrifying, so he didn't know what to do next.

Lan Shengwu laughed dryly twice, and said to cover up his ugliness: "Lord Feng is not very old, and his temper is not small, this king was just joking just now, Lord Feng is serious!" ”

Sima Hongyan didn't say anything, and still looked at the two visiting envoys with a breezy expression.

In Sima Hongyan's deep eyes, he seemed to have the power to penetrate everything. Lan Shengwu simply gritted his teeth and said directly: "Dongning wants to negotiate peace with Yanling, I don't know what conditions the Feng Lord has, so please ask the Feng Lord to make it clear directly!" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled slightly at this time and said, "Now it looks like talking about things." ”

Zhuge Yu only then realized that the person who was playing tricks just now was the old man Dongning, so that he almost turned against Lord Feng, and almost broke the big thing, so he couldn't help but turn his angry gaze to King Hong.

King Hong turned a blind eye to Zhuge Yu's dissatisfaction, and for such a stupid person, King Hong directly chose to ignore him, and judging from the level of the prince of Nanyi, how Dongning really formed an alliance with Nanyi is still a bit of a risky thing.

Now that she has the initiative, Sima Hongyan can make her request at will, facing King Hong's uncertain expression, Sima Hongyan smiled indifferently and said: "There is a lot of trouble between Dongning and me personally, and it is Dongning's unprovoked violation of me. It stands to reason that I don't need to talk about any alliance with Dongning, but the affairs of the country involve tens of millions of people, and once the war starts, it will inevitably be ruined. So I had no choice but to put aside my personal grievances and consider peace talks for the time being. ”

These words implied reassurance, and King Hong's face was slightly gentle, and he even claimed that it was.

Sima Hongyan knew that King Hong was now patiently catering to himself, and he was just trying to make compromises, and he had to bow his head under the eaves. But Sima Hongyan understands that once there is an opportunity, this King Hong's counterattack will never show mercy.

But now Yanling also needs a buffer period, since he is not completely sure of subduing the opponent in one fell swoop, he has to take a step back temporarily.

As for the conditions, Sima Hongyan had already thought about it, and she said to King Hong: "I have only one request for Dongning, leave the sixth princess Lan Aoxin to me to deal with, she killed my friend, and I will settle this account with her." If Dongning can do it, let's continue to discuss the alliance between us! ”

Lan Aoxin and Lan Shuangli should cooperate to kidnap Sima Hongyan, it was completely a private action of the two of them, and the Lan brothers did not know about it, and it was not until later that Sima Hongyan and others made a big fuss in Dongning Taishifu that the matter was exposed. Moreover, Lan Aoxin privately transferred the Dongning soldiers, and Lan Shuang instigated the rebellion of the six kings of Yanling, which caused very big trouble, for which these two people were severely reprimanded by the Dongning Emperor. Therefore, the grievances between Sima Hongyan and Lan Aoxin, Lan Shengwu, are clear.

Lan Shuang is King Hong's biological daughter, no matter how much trouble she causes, King Hong can't do anything to her, at most she will be reprimanded and locked up for a few days. What's more, Lan Shuang's danger alone is also for Dongning, it is a blessing to be able to escape alive, where is King Hong willing to be punished heavily.

Lan Aoxin is the emperor's sixth princess, and she will not be subject to any severe sanctions. Although Emperor Lan Shengwen was angry with Lan Aoxin for acting recklessly, he lost his temper and said a few words, which was not painful or itchy for Lan Aoxin, and had no effect at all.

Sima Hongyan proposed to ask Dongning to hand over Lan Aoxin, and let Yanling fall, this matter was almost impossible. No matter how you say it, it is the pearl of Emperor Dongning's palm, wouldn't it be a slap in the face and lose face when handed over to Yanling. Lan Shengwen would definitely not agree to such a humiliating thing.

Giving someone is tantamount to admitting mistakes, for the Dongning royal family, it is a loss of royal face, of course, King Hong can't agree, but the situation is pressing, if you don't agree, you may usher in greater trouble, for a while King Hong felt in a dilemma, unable to answer.

At the beginning, Wu Zhao and many friends died in Dongning in order to save themselves, which was Sima Hongyan's incurable pain, and the culprit behind the scenes was Lan Aoxin. This revenge is not avenged, Sima Hongyan feels that he has no face to face those who have died. So Dongning gave in this time to sue for peace, and she naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

Lan Aoxin is King Hong's niece, Sima Hongyan wants Dongning to hand over Lan Aoxin, and making this request is also a humiliation for King Hong, so Sima Hongyan's conditions make the always majestic and domineering King Hong's face a little unbearable, and the anger in his heart is rising, even if he tries to restrain himself, his face also shows a little anger.

Sima Hongyan didn't care about his anger at all, and even felt that King Hong's anger was very ridiculous. What about the Dongning royal family? hurt her friend, and she was destined to be her Sima Hongyan's enemy. Could it be that Sima Hongyan will be able to write off her deep hatred just because she is the princess of the Dongning royal family? No way!

In order to take revenge, Sima Hongyan even did not hesitate to set foot in Dongning, but now it is a very big concession to let them hand over the culprit. Therefore, in Sima Hongyan's opinion, this condition is not difficult for King Hong at all.

King Hong Lan Shengwu was born in a martial artist, and he was born with a fiery temper, but only because he was old and in a high position, he became obscure and self-controlled. Before the change, he had already flipped the table with Sima Hongyan.

All of a sudden, the air became solemn again, and the atmosphere at the meeting table was tense, and it seemed that King Hong was about to explode at any time. The female soldiers guarding the back were nervous, and as long as King Hong made any unusual moves, they immediately rushed up to protect Lord Feng's safety.

However, Sima Hongyan broke the tense atmosphere, and she said slowly: "This is just my condition, His Royal Highness King Hong can go back and discuss, I will wait for your answer." He turned his head and said to Zhuge Yu: "I have also said the conditions of Nanyi, the prince can also go back and think about it, and I am also waiting for your reply." ”

After that, he stood up and said to the envoys of the two countries: "Let's discuss it here today, and I won't accompany you when the banquet is held in the palace." After speaking, Sima Hongyan nodded slightly, turned around and left. The envoys of the two countries looked at each other, and there was no sound for a long time.

As for when the envoys of the two countries would leave, Sima Hongyan didn't care, and after returning to the harem, Nan Guying was waiting for her in Fengming Palace, and Sima Hongyan told him what had just happened.

After listening to this, Nan Guying only said: "I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep well tonight!" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I am not polite today, but it is not enough to deter them. The request I made was related to the family feud of the fourth sister, as well as the brothers who died in Dongning, and I had to find a way to make them have to agree. Do you have any good ideas? ”

Nan Guying said: "Actually, if you want them to comply, you have to give them some more pressure." ”

Sima Hongyan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked, "Do you know where those original guard brothers in my mansion are on duty now?" ”

Nan Guying thought for a while and said: "It seems that they have been rotated to Yanning Pass to garrison, they have just completed three months of special training and replaced the defenders of Yanning Pass before." ”

Sima Hongyan said happily: "That's great, I need them to do something, which can create some pressure on the people of Dongning." ”

"Do you want to use troops against Dongning?" Nan Guying exclaimed.

Sima Hongyan sighed and said, "Do you remember those brothers who sacrificed in Dongning in order to save me?" Their bones are still buried in the Dongning Wilderness, and I will bring them back to Yanling for a burial. ”

Nan Guying immediately understood Sima Hongyan's intentions, nodded and said, "Not bad!" It's a good idea, and it's just right to make the people of Dongning nervous. ”

The two hit it off and began to plan a detailed strategy.

King Hong and Zhuge Yu felt very angry in their hearts after returning to the post house, once upon a time when they were so aggrieved? However, the stakes were very high, and they did not dare to make the decision, so they all wrote down the conditions proposed by Sima Hongyan in detail, and sent them back to their country in an expedited manner for 800 miles, and asked the emperor to make a decision.

No matter how fast the urgent letter was, it would have to wait for ten days and half a month, so the envoys from Dongning and Nanyi stayed in Yanling, waiting for a reply from their own country. And during this time, Sima Hongyan did not summon them again, and they were bored in the post house all day long, making them irritable and extremely bored.

Their every move has long been under the surveillance of the female army, and Sima Hongyan was noncommittal when she learned about it, and only let the female soldiers continue to watch.

Han Miaoqi has been in Yanling for a long time, and she has almost visited the capital, she is deeply in love with Yanling, and she can't wait to live for a long time.

During this time, Sima Hongyan arranged for the palace maid to bathe her with traditional Chinese medicine and flower petals every day, and at the same time rubbed her skin with fine sand, and also asked Zhong Liying to think of curing the original chilblains on her body.

After recuperation, Han Miaoqi's skin gradually became delicate and smooth, and the red sores on her face and hands were gone, and she slowly regained her original appearance and looked more delicate.

And these days, Li Siyu is also with her every day, chatting and talking with her. After many days of communication, the ninth princess of Beiling also began to like Yanling's literature.

At this time, the two had more common language, and even the two began to be inseparable. Li Siyu went to accompany Han Miaoqi every day after finishing his business, and everyone laughed and said nothing when they saw their greasy appearance.

Sima Hongyan didn't expect these two to develop rapidly, and it seemed that there were really some signs of affection and concubine intentions. Originally, it was a half-joking attempt to get the two closer, but it seems that these two people will be able to talk about marriage after a while. Now that the signs have appeared, Sima Hongyan decided to talk to Li Siyu, and if the marriage between these two people is promoted, it will also be a good thing.

After the state affairs were dealt with this day, Sima Hongyan happened to leave the court at the same time as Li Siyu. Li Siyu was going to look for Han Miaoqi again, but was stopped by Sima Hongyan and brought to Fengming Palace.
