Chapter 315: Land Cession Indemnity
Wei Bingchuan glanced at the list of "Discussion and Sincerity" handed back by Jinmo, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Such a condition is negotiated and not to mention that Nan is dead, even he can't agree to it, right?
300 cattle and sheep, 500 skins of silk, 1,000 pairs of treasures, and 3,000 beads......
Xuanyue Kingdom is not short of these, okay? What's the use of them asking for this? If you really want to lead a large army into the Northern Desert Country, you won't leave with everything.
How could His Majesty the Emperor of their family be confused about this matter.
Wei Bingchuan complained in his heart that His Majesty was old and confused, and he smiled and comforted Nan Liyan.
"Nine Princes, things are not what you think, we are seeking peace with sincerity." Wei Bingchuan's face was about to stiffen with laughter.
While he said that they had come to negotiate peace with sincerity, he was slapped in the face by His Majesty's actions, and now he was very unhappy in his heart.
"Sincerity? Are you really so easy to fool when you think this king? You sincerity want me to withdraw my troops, aren't you kidding? Nan Liyan said with a sneer.
Even Jinmo looked at Wei Bingchuan as if he was looking at a big fool.
Wei Bingchuan's face was a little sneering, and he didn't say anything, because his majesty obviously fooled Nan Liyan for a fool.
"Ninth Prince, give me two days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Wei Bingchuan secretly said ruthlessly in his heart.
"Oh? Is it? I'll see. Nan Liyan took a sip of tea and said with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, but that smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Nine Princes, farewell." Wei Bingchuan was angry and didn't set off, so he had to say goodbye.
When he returns, he must explain to His Majesty the Emperor that the relationship is very powerful, but he can't lose more than he gains because of a moment of greed.

"Lord Wang, what does the emperor of the Northern Desert Kingdom think? Just send us with those things? Jin Mo finally couldn't help but ask after Wei Bingchuan left.
"Maybe he thinks those are the so-called good things." Nan Liyan shook his head and said.
Jin Mo was speechless for a while, just take the Hu Zhu as an example, I don't know how many Hu Zhu there are in the Nine Kings Mansion, and the dignified Northern Desert Kingdom actually took out 3,000 as a condition for peace.
There is no shortage of other treasures, the Nine Kings Mansion, not to mention the huge Xuanyue Kingdom.

Northern Desert Country, Nourishing Heart Palace
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei is back."
A man who looked like a father-in-law walked into the palace and said.
A man in his fifties in front of the dragon chair walked around restlessly, and when he heard the words of the little eunuch, his face was immediately happy, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, let Lord Wei come in." ”
"Yes." The little eunuch took the order and hurried out of the palace gate.
Wei Bingchuan walked in with a gloomy face and saluted to the one on the dragon chair: "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
"Hurry up, please get up, Aiqing has worked hard, how is the result?" Chen Liu asked eagerly and quickly walked down the high platform, helping Wei Bingchuan, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
As soon as he talked about this, Wei Bingchuan's face was very unsightly, and when Chen Liu saw Wei Bingchuan's face, he thought that Nan Liyan did not agree to negotiate peace, so Wei Bingchuan's face was so ugly.
"This Xuanyue Kingdom is really too deceitful, do you really want me to be happy when the Northern Desert destroys the country? What good is it for them that we destroy it? Chen Liu said angrily.
Wei Bingchuan glanced at Chen Liu speechlessly, and said in his heart: You are the one who wants the Northern Desert Kingdom to destroy the country, right? So little thing wants others to withdraw their troops, and others are not stupid.
"Your Majesty, the Nine Emperors of Xuanyue Kingdom did not agree to withdraw from the army...... Wei Bingchuan said truthfully.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Liu: "This Nan Li is really too deceitful!" ”
Wei Bingchuan glanced at Chen Liu speechlessly and continued: "It's not that the Nine Emperor Princes don't want to withdraw their troops, it's just that the Nine Emperor Princes feel that our sincerity in negotiating peace is not enough and they don't want to withdraw their troops. ”
"Lack of sincerity? How is it not enough? Is it hard to give so many good things for nothing? Chen Liu roared angrily.
Wei Bingchuan was also a little annoyed, but he still had to explain patiently: "The conditions set by the emperor will not be agreed to by any country if he wants to change them." ”
Wei Bingchuan's words can be described as quite unkind, but he didn't give Chen Liu a chance to get angry and continued, Chen Liu stared at Wei Bingchuan angrily.
"Xuanyue Country is a rich country, there are countless treasures, what they want is nothing more than the sincerity of the Northern Desert, and the war between countries is nothing more than the redivision of land and territory, and if they want to negotiate peace, it is nothing more than to start from this place.
Now we are suffering from internal and external troubles, the state is turbulent, and we are already in a weak position compared to the Xuanyue Kingdom, and now we can only solve the external worries by stabilizing the internal troubles. Wei Bingchuan said.
"Do you mean to let me give away my land in the northern desert in exchange for temporary peace?" Chen Liu stared at Wei Bingchuan with an unkind gaze and asked.
Wei Bingchuan knew what they were thinking when he saw Chen Liu's gaze, it was nothing more than that he felt that he had been bought by Nan Liyan, so he helped Nan Liyan speak.
Wei Bingchuan sighed in his heart and continued: "When we calm down the internal worries, why worry that we can't get back what we lost, please ask the emperor to think about it himself, and the minister will retreat first." ”
After Wei Bingchuan left, Chen Liucai sat down on the dragon chair weakly.
Think about how prosperous the Northern Desert Kingdom was in the past, it was the country with the largest territory and the most cities among the four countries.
The men of the Northern Desert are brave and good at fighting, the women are industrious and brave, and the country is growing stronger day by day, and no country dares to invade the Northern Desert Country easily, but now it has reached the point of ceding land and paying compensation for peace.
Chen Liu, who sat alone in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time, thought a lot, and finally sighed, and still adopted Wei Bingchuan's conditions.
Now if you want to say who Chen Liu hates the most, it is nothing more than his fifth son who was a demon at that critical moment, when the enemy came in a big way, he didn't want to fight the enemy together, but he started a rebellion at this time.
Chen Liu couldn't wait to strangle Lao Wuyi when he was born, and he was so angry and annoyed now.
After the third day, Wei Bingchuan really went to the camp of Xuanyue Kingdom again with Nan Liyan's satisfactory answer.
In the end, at the cost of five cities, thousands of good horses, and thousands of acres of land, Nan Liyan agreed to withdraw his troops and leave.
When Nan Liyan transmitted the news back to the capital, he won the praise of hundreds of officials, and Nan Nianyan was also quite satisfied with Nan Liyan's results.
"Lord, are we going to go back to the capital?" Jin Mo asked Nan Liyan about his next plans while packing up Nan Liyan's things.
Unexpectedly, Nan Liyan shook his head and said, "Wait for another half a month, and we will go back after the border is completely settled." ”
"Yes, lord." Jin Mo glanced at Nan Liyan in surprise, thinking that as long as the matter of peace was over, Nan Liyan would be eager to return to Beijing to see the eldest lady.
***
"Sister, the Ninth Prince will return to the court in the near future." Liuyue said to Gu Annuan while peeling oranges.
"Oh." Gu Annuan's expression was as pale as usual, and he had neither a particularly happy nor other expression.
More than half a month has passed since Gu An'an was buried, and the people in the capital seem to have gradually forgotten the third lady of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, what to do and what to do, the only sad people are these people in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Gu Anning also returned to the border seven days ago, and Gu Annuan didn't see him when he left, and the misunderstanding between the sister and brother became bigger and bigger, but no one explained.
