Chapter 127: Peace Talks between the Two Sides

"Does the prince still remember the travelers from southern Xinjiang?" Chu Zhaonan has absolutely not forgotten this stubble, although the incident of the year did not give any explanation, and in the end it was over, but it still made Chu Zhaonan feel extremely unhappy in his heart. How could Gu Lingge's reputation be tarnished by such a fictitious thing?

"So what? Are you going to threaten me with him? To tell you, I don't eat this set. "Kuoyuan is still too young, and many things can't withstand the agitation, so everything shakes out when he asks like this. He said this, for fear that some people would not know what the relationship between him and the travelers in southern Xinjiang was.

"If General Ben really thinks so, why do you think you're still here?" Chu Zhaonan's methods have always been known for their brutality, although he looks harmless to humans and animals, but when he starts to do it, it is completely different.

"General Ben just wants to tell the prince that things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be said indiscriminately." Chu Zhaonan picked up the iron tongs. This kind of thing has a wide piece of iron at the end, which is specially used to pull the tongue. The torture instrument was put on the fire and roasted, and when it was red and hot, it was taken out, and then directly let people suppress the prisoner's body, open the other party's mouth, and quickly put it directly in the prisoner's mouth, and then pulled out the bright red tongue.

A good executioner can complete the process without harming the other party, but Chu Zhaonan will forget it. Throughout his training, there was never a clause to be gentle with his captives. "The prince said how can I return you to the Tatar Khan?" Chu Zhaonan doesn't think about special circumstances many times, but it is this kind of outlaw's strength that can confuse many people.

Even if Kuoyuan prides himself on being a good man, he still hasn't experienced such pain after all, and that kind of living pain makes his pupils begin to widen. But he was still comforting himself in his heart that as long as Khan's attitude was tough enough, he would not be harmed in any way. After all, Tatar still needs him. In some sense that only he knows.

Chu Zhaonan is really hard to do now. Lin An didn't send any news, which means that he still can't move him now, no matter how much he wants to strangle this fool who spread the rumors of Gu Lingge.

There was an abnormal noise outside. Chu Zhaonan didn't move, he was shaking the iron tongs in his hand, and his eyes looked at Kuoyuan motionlessly. Kuoyuan's current state is indeed not very active, but he is also looking out intently, as if he is expecting something. Chu Zhaonan took in his movements at all, and then gently pulled the corners of his mouth up the moment he saw the person, everything was no different from what he thought.

"General, the Tatar envoy has come and said that he wants to negotiate peace with you." The little guy who came looked deferential, and never even raised his head. Chu Zhaonan smiled, and then went out with him with a smile. Kuoyuan, who was also tied up solidly, also smiled. It was cold outside, but now he was in a good mood.

But he didn't know that as soon as Chu Zhaonan stepped out of the broad line of sight, he directly twisted off the little guy's neck. All the people brought by Guicheng were all known to Chu Zhaonan, this person looked too embarrassed, and no one had ever lowered his head in front of Chu Zhaonan. No matter what time it is, Chu Zhaonan has expressly forbidden it, no one can bow his head, even if he doesn't look at him, but he can't keep his head down. It's all to prevent someone from daring to do anything unfavorable, just like now.

Chu Zhaonan looked at this person's corpse, still smiling on his face, and then searched out a small dagger and a fine hemp rope from him. A gentle admonition to the void, then strode down the hall. Since the Tatars know how to let people get in, then it really came. By the way, he just went over and took a look, anyway, he couldn't talk about anything, maybe he could take advantage of the chaos to set a fire, so that the fisherman could benefit or something.

The Tatars were the chieftains of the central tribes and their prime ministers. It is not easy to distinguish between these two people at such a time. Chu Zhaonan nodded to Chang Dong, who was already sitting on the top seat, and then sat on the side, waiting for the other party to speak. Both generals are there, and it stands to reason that they have already given enough face to the Tatars.

The chief and the prime minister are both old men, and two young and strong lads are facing two goosebump-haired old men, and I don't know who is better. "The two generals already have such a strategy at a young age, which is really terrifying." The typical official tone from the prime minister's mouth was not abrupt at all, but it just made Chu Zhaonan understand that playing the official tone was not the specialty of Han and Qin, and the courts in many places were common.

"Yes, thank you, the old prime minister." Chang Dong saw that Chu Zhaonan had not answered, so he could only stand up and respond. Both of them laughed heartily after the words fell. There was a thin mist in the air. The chief and Chu Zhaonan were silent, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

"Say, what conditions do the two generals want to be able to release my prince?" The chief's temperament should be not much different from Chu Zhaonan's, straight to the end, the kind that leads to the end with one intestine. When Chu Zhaonan heard this, he had already guessed almost the same. He's this kind of person, but he doesn't like people like that. Such people are too easy to control.

"What kind of conditions can the Tatars give?" Chu Zhaonan's face was curious, and his face began to look like he was watching a good show. Cynism is Chu Zhaonan's consistent style, and he has the same attitude to many things, except for Gu Lingge.

"We are willing to cede all the pastures within a radius of two hundred miles to Han Qin, and sign a clause that we will never start any war during the reign of Emperor Rui." Qing Ruifan did not change his era name when he ascended the throne, so his name is just a "Rui" in his name. The conditions put forward by the prime minister are already the bare minimum. For the sake of an ordinary prince who does not necessarily have real power in the tribe, it is already surprising that he can make such a concession.

But Chu Zhaonan knew. No matter what kind of peace talks are, they can all be pressed down on the conditions that were put forward at the beginning, and no treaty can be signed at the beginning. We both know this. "Is that all?" Chu Zhaonan didn't have a clear idea, but he just subconsciously wanted to raise the bar. If Gu Lingge was there, he would probably throw him a roll of his eyes.

"It's better for the general to be afraid, so don't let the lion open his mouth." The chief had a cane in his hand, and he didn't know what it was made of, but it was enough to support the chief, and he was able to wave it to show his strength. Chu Zhaonan looked at the chief while laughing. A wizened man is quite bold. Nomads are inherently tough, but it can be seen now.

"The prime minister and the chief are serious. It's just that the two of us can't decide this matter, and I also ask the prime minister and the chief to stay in your city for a while, and the younger generation should report the specific matters to the emperor first. Chang Dong didn't accept it immediately for a while, but had other thoughts.

None of you here are people who are not deeply involved in the world, and they have all been working for so many years, so naturally they all understand each other. This time, the chief was more active than the prime minister, with his cane on the ground, and his speaking posture was faintly stronger than the prime minister: "Then stay, the old man still doesn't believe it." This sentence was said directly at Chu Zhaonan.

The latter smiled very gently, and then Chang Dong sent the two old men to the side room to rest very gently. When he came back, Chu Zhaonan was playing with the dagger he had just captured, and even had the heart to talk to him: "I just saw a hemp rope, and when I got it back, I realized that I saw it wrong, it was cow tendon." It's not easy to do that. ”

Beef tendon is the most resilient part of the cow's body. But the muscles and bones that can be pulled out of the cow are really few, and being able to connect the cow tendons to such a length can at least show that the owner is a very wealthy family, otherwise how to raise so many cattle to collect the cow tendons?

"You...... What does the emperor say? "Chang Dong was originally a reinforcement, so the contact with Qing Ruifan has always been done by Chu Zhaonan. What I said today was to report to Qing Ruifan, but in fact, Chu Zhaonan and Chang Dong had already received news from Qing Ruifan before-no matter what Tatar said, people must be released. As for the conditions used to close the deal, it depends on how good the two of them think.

"I'll put him back when I'm done, and it won't be a big problem in the near future." Chu Zhaonan has always thought very clearly. He had been immersed in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he had never seen anyone who could escape from him.

Chang Dong didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, and after a few words, he returned to his room and planned to write a letter to his little wife. Things here are developing faster than he imagined, and it also means that he will be able to go back to see Liu Yu in a short time. really likes someone, it's nothing more than that feeling, because of the simple thought of her, I feel very warm in my heart, and I have a sense of stability that the reeds are propped up.

Lin'an, Qing Ruiting Palace.

"I don't understand." Chang Dong had greeted Qing Ruiting well before leaving Lin'an. After all, they are all the same brothers from childhood to adulthood, and by the way, they will help Liu Yu a little, so that she will not be bored when she is alone in the house. So it was logical to bring out the fate of Gu Liangyue and Liu Yu.

Liu Yu once thought that Gu Liangyue was the kind of person who said that wind is rain and was so strict that he couldn't do it, but after seeing Qing Ruiting's obedience to Gu Liangyue, and Gu Liangyue was also gentle as a flower, he suddenly felt that his previous imagination was wrong.

Qing Ruiting will come back every day, if he sees Liu Yu, he will nod as a greeting, and then hug Gu Liangyue affectionately, Gu Liangyue never shirks, although his face is still expressionless, but there is always a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Princess, it seems that the prince is very good to you." Liu Yu held a box in his hand. This is a set of cosmetics that Dusk Cloud Pavilion had planned before, using something that Gu Lingge brought back from Beicheng. I have to say that although Beicheng is far away, the conditions are also unique, and there are many things that can be directly brought back for use, just like this.

But Gu Liangyue is not a fool either. The bond between her and Liulizhuang is only Gu Lingge, and now Liu Yu's approach is a question worth thinking about. She didn't disbelieve her, she just intuitively felt that something was wrong.
