Chapter 180: The Price of a Tomb Robber

In the flower hall of Xuanwang Mansion, Baili Xiao was complaining to Shen Qianmo, who was sitting on the main seat, with a face full of anger.

"Brother Xie, you are too partial, why did you only take Senior Sister Qinglan to that secret base, but not me? And today's action on Qixia Mountain, why don't you tell me? ”

He was very curious about that mysterious team, if he had known earlier, he would have fought without eating, drinking, or sleeping, and he would have to go to Qixia Mountain to guard to open his eyes.

After speaking, he glared resentfully at Mo Ye and Ye Qinglan who were standing on the side, but he was secretly cursing in his heart.

Brother Xie bullied him, even Senior Sister Qinglan and Brother Mo were like this, and there was a ...... between them Is there any friendship left?

Shen Qianmo looked at Baili Smile's indignant appearance and opened her teeth and claws, and couldn't help but laugh secretly. If it weren't for Meng Yuanheng sitting beside him, staring at him with an unkind expression, it is estimated that this guy would have pounced on her arm and asked.

She smiled and said: "Okay, Baili laugh, don't make trouble, the team is there and won't run away, there will be a chance for you to see it in the future." ”

Meng Yuanheng took a leisurely sip of tea beside him, and said indifferently: "Mo'er, don't you plan to continue to expand the team, since Baili Xiao is so interested, it is better to let him join in, and then train in the secret base for half a year, that is." ”

The entire palace is the most noisy for this kid, and it would be a good thing if we could drive him to that secret training valley for half a year.

The corners of Bailixiao's mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't dare to silence for a while. He's always been free, and if he was locked up in that valley where birds don't lay eggs for half a year, he'd get moldy, okay?

Xie Mingyu, who was sitting quietly on the side, saw that Baili couldn't laugh anymore, so he asked with a smile: "Mo'er, what are you going to do with the few people they brought back?" ”

Those three are all important figures in Beidi and Xiliang, and it must not be so simple to deal with.

"What does my cousin think?" Shen Qianmo smiled with a relaxed face. Meng Yuanheng, who was sitting next to her, also lowered his head and drank tea, his expression was cold and unchanged.

Xie Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "I don't think the prince and Mo'er want to do anything to them, so they have to let them go." It's just that what should be done with this person, and what benefits we will get from it, is what we should consider. ”

"My cousin is right." Shen Qianmo still smiled lightly, "Actually, the prince and I didn't think about how much benefit we would get, but they were so tormented in the northwest, if we didn't do something, how could we explain to the people in the northwest?" ”

Xie Mingyu smiled when he heard this, "I know, I'll discuss it with my father when I go back." ”

He knew that this time the prince and Mo'er made such a big move, more in fact, to let the people of the world realize the strength of the northwest, so that all countries were afraid and did not dare to act rashly.

Shen Qianmo nodded, "Cousin Hard, Cousin Lao and Uncle will be involved in negotiating with Beidi and Xiliang's envoys." ”

Two days later, Xie Chun and Xie Mingyu got the envoys of Beidi and Xiliang.

The Xie family is known as the head of the world, and this time the envoys from all over the world finally saw the Xie family's clever tongue and eloquence.

According to the Xie family, throughout the ages, stealing graves and digging up graves is a major crime that disregards human ethics and disturbs the souls of the dead. If not, how can Xuanwangfu explain to the family of the stolen mausoleum, and how can the people of the northwest be convinced? Therefore, after consulting the prince and princess, it was finally decided to tell the entire northwest of their crime of robbing the tomb, so as to comfort the souls of the dead and calm the people.

The words were so endless and high-sounding that the envoys of various countries could not even find an excuse to refute them.

Just because according to the laws of various countries, it is indeed a crime to steal graves and dig up graves, although it is for ordinary people, but now that they are in the northwest, everything has to be decided by Meng Yuanheng.

However, if this matter is announced to the northwest, is it not equivalent to announcing the whole world? No matter what they say, they are also noble, if they are branded as tomb robbers, how can they have a face in the future!

Several people sighed, and in desperation, they could only agree that they would do their best to compensate for all losses in the northwest.

Negotiations with Xiliang were the first to bear fruit. Murong Zhao also has a certain right to speak and decide in Xiliang, and the last time Shen Qianmo healed Murong Jing's arm, he was more or less grateful, but this time it was planted in the hands of King Xuan's Mansion, he was also convinced, and there was nothing to say, so the negotiation between them was very smooth, and finally ended the matter with a series of contracts such as the signing of a three-year truce agreement between the two countries, a business and trade exchange agreement, and an agreement on the opening of trade routes in the west.

And Beidi, because the crown prince and the sixth prince were arrested at the same time, the price paid was naturally greater than that of Xiliang.

In the hall of King Xuan's Mansion, Meng Yuanheng leaned back in his chair, casually took the negotiation record presented by Xie Mingyu, glanced at it casually, raised his eyebrows and said, "Which one do you want this king to put first?" ”

Several envoys of the Beidi Kingdom sitting below looked at each other, all of them did not understand the meaning of Meng Yuanheng's words, and one of them asked cautiously: "King Xuan's words...... What is the meaning? ”

Release people, naturally, the prince and the sixth prince will be released together, what do you mean to put which one first?

And He Liancheng, who was sitting next to him, had a tight face, thin lips were pursed, and his fists were secretly clenched, trying to control his anger.

He originally thought that Wan Yan Ping would be a little smarter, but who knew that he was not much better than that Wan Yan Lu, and he was also played around by the illusory news of the treasures of the previous dynasty and the jade seal of the country.

This matter is obviously the Xuanwang Mansion general's plan, using the fake treasure map of Mohan Mountain to give those forces from all walks of life who are pouring into the northwest to dig treasures a disadvantage, and at the same time, let all the people in the world know that the Northwest Mengjia Army is not so easy to mess with.

And it was probably that woman's idea to take away the magnates of various countries and deliberately make such a big noise.

His sharp eyes swept over the woman in Tsing Yi who was sitting next to Meng Yuanheng, and from beginning to end, there was a gentle and indifferent smile on her face, but He Liancheng knew that this woman was not easier to deal with than Meng Yuanheng, who seemed cold and ruthless.

Meng Yuanheng just snorted coldly, and simply didn't say anything, as if he thought that the IQ of Beidi's envoys was too low, and he didn't bother to talk to them.

Shen Qianmo smiled at several Beidi envoys and said: "Everyone, what the prince means is that since Beidi and Xiliang have the same conditions, then our Xuanwangfu can naturally only let one person return to China like we did with Xiliang." ”

With such an explanation, several Beidi envoys naturally understood, Xiliang was only arrested by one Murong Zhao, but Beidi had two people in their hands, and Xuanwangfu was not satisfied with the conditions they offered. Several people looked at He Liancheng in unison, the meaning is obvious, here, you He General has the largest military position, and just now you were the only one who had seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince who were locked up in the palace prison, so you should make a decision on this matter.

He Liancheng raised his eyes and looked coldly at the two people sitting next to each other on the main seat, with mixed feelings in his heart. After adjusting his emotions that were about to get out of control, he said in a deep voice: "King Xuan and Princess Xuan have any other conditions, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Just now he went to the palace prison to see Wan Yan Lu and Wan Yan Ping, although the faces of these two people are ugly, it is rare to have the same opinion, as long as it is not to lose the city and cut the land, let him make his own decisions about the rest, in short, get them out of prison first.

Shen Qianmo saw that Meng Yuanheng was just lazily leaning on her shoulder and didn't say anything, and said with a light smile: "Concubine Ben heard that the foot of Beidi Qilian Mountain is rich in minerals, and a huge amount of copper ore and iron ore can be produced every year......

So after some verbal back-and-forth, the negotiations with Beidi were finally reached after Meng Yuanheng expressed no objection, in addition to the same conditions as Xiliangguo, there was also an agreement that required Beidi to sell a certain amount of copper and iron ore to the northwest at a low price every year in the next ten years.

The farce of tomb robbery was finally resolved satisfactorily with compromises and compensation from various countries. Of course, "consummation" may only be the feeling of Xuanwangfu's side.

Interested in the treasure of the ancestors of the previous dynasty and the jade seal of the country, he was determined to get it, but he ended up with heavy losses. This trip to the northwest, the envoys of various countries are annoyed, and they have no face to stay in the northwest anymore, the next morning, the countries will bring the vast time, but now there are less than half of the people left, hurriedly leaving Mocheng to return to China.

This time, Xuanwangfu not only got a lot of substantial benefits, but also made the magnates of various countries understand that even if Meng Yuanheng only occupies such a prescription inch of land in the northwest now, and the territory is not as good as one-sixth of Dasheng, it is also not so easy to offend.

Since Meng Yuanheng announced that he would break away from Dasheng and demarcate the border, the balance relationship between the world, which was already somewhat shaky, has once again been delicately maintained.

On the day when the envoys of Beidi and Xiliang left the city, the bright sun hanging high in the sky for several days was covered by thick clouds, and the wind and sand in the sky seemed to be much smaller, bringing a hint of coolness to the northwest in early summer.

At the gate of the palace, Shen Qianmo took Ye Qinglan's hand, but there was a little apology on her face, "Qinglan, this trip to Beidi...... I hope everything goes well. ”

Ye Qinglan was dressed in plain clothes, her eyebrows and eyes were cold, her expression was light, and she just bowed her head slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get it back smoothly." ”

Shen Qianmo nodded, she naturally believed in Ye Qinglan's ability to do things, so after thinking about it, she finally handed over to her the matter of returning to Beidi Kingdom with Yan Lu to get the Fire Lotus.

"Take care of yourself." Shen Qianmo said softly.

Ye Qinglan nodded slightly, which was a response. She gladly accepted to go to Beidi to get the Fire Lotus this time, because she had her own selfish intentions, but she would definitely do her best for what Shen Qianmo explained.

Baili smiled and jumped out next to him and said, "Brother Xie, don't worry, with my protection, Senior Sister Qinglan will definitely return to Mocheng with the Fire Lotus safe and sound." ”
