After a long and intermittent negotiation between the Wind Country and the Bessa Country, the outline of the main body was finally agreed upon, and there were only some side details left for the next negotiations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Princess Bessa who was captured by the Wind Army, Jessica Pross, belongs to this side story.

Of course, Shangguan Xiu will not let people go so simply, Jessica is in his own hands, and when the two sides exchange prisoners of war in the future, she is an extremely important bargaining chip for his side, which can allow Fengguo to take the initiative.

Now Shangguan Xiu has learned that in the battle of Sail City, there were as many as 100,000 soldiers captured by the Wind Country, including the general of the Wind Country, Wu Peng.

In Tang Ling's bedroom, Shangguan Xiu handed over the terms agreed upon by the two parties to her. Tang Ling looked at it carefully, and then said with a smile: "The framework of this peace agreement is similar to what you talked to Will last time. ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Will, this person will be very useful to us in the future. ”

"That's why you're very insistent on giving him 20% of Nashikya's taxes for the next three years. ”

"If you can buy a duke with money, it's worth spending more. "This time the Wind Army was able to successfully attack the Templars, scare off the northern reinforcements of Besa, and force the royal court of Besa to sign the peace treaty, which is a living example.

If Will hadn't tipped him off, what the final result would have been, it was really hard to say, based on this one thing alone, Shangguan Xiu felt that his promise to Will was worth it. Input subtitles at the site: heiyaПge · watch the new chapter

Of course, Tang Ling understood the importance of Wei's person, as Shangguan Xiu said, it was worth it to buy off a duke, even if it cost a lot of money. She changed her tone and asked, "Didn't the Bessars offer to go back to Jessica?"

"Of course they did, but I didn't. ”

"Why is that?" Tang Ling looked at him ungroundedly. The two countries have already negotiated peace, and it is meaningless for the two sides to continue to detain Jessica.

Shangguan Xiu sighed faintly and said, "After the defeat of Sail City, 100,000 soldiers of our country were captured alive by the Besa army, including General Wu. If we don't have a bargaining chip in our hands and want to return to General Wu, the Besa people may not know how to make it difficult for us!"

Tang Ling showed a look of surprise and said with a smile: "So, you want to take Jessica to exchange General Wu with the Bessa." ”

"That's right. ”

"I was surprised that you did that. Tang Ling looked at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: "I thought that you would want General Wu to stay in Besa forever, and it was best never to return to the Wind Country. ”

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"

Tang Ling said slowly: "As long as General Wu is here, you can't become the first person in the army, only when General Wu is gone, you will have the opportunity to take his position as a general and become the one who really controls the military power of the whole country!"

Shangguan Xiu was stunned, then smiled on his back, shook his head and said, "To take his place, I don't need to borrow the hand of the Besa people at all." What's more, the dignified general, who became a prisoner of another country, lost the face of the gale, and I can still distinguish between official and private affairs. ”

He really looks down on Wu Peng, he can achieve the position of a general, only by virtue of his illustrious background, and connections with the powerful in the DPRK, to say that his own real talent and learning, in the eyes of Shangguan Xiu, it is really not worth mentioning, let alone let him be a general, even if he is made a corps commander, his ability is slightly insufficient.

In the battle of Sayre, Wu Peng's only merit was that he was able to defend the emperor to the death at a critical moment, showing the integrity and courage that a court official should have.

Tang Ling looked at Shangguan Xiu with appreciation, the distinction between public and private was one of the things she admired most about Shangguan Xiu.

After a while, she spoke: "It seems that we will be able to return to China soon, and when we pass by the city of Kinsk, we can stop by to visit Hayley, and I don't know how she will be after she returns home." ”

Shangguan Xiu thought for a while and said: "It's better not to make extraneous branches, after all, this is the hinterland of Besa, even if the two countries have now negotiated peace, it does not mean that this place is absolutely safe." ”

"Are you worried that the Besa people will be against me?

"It was only the royal court of Besa who signed the peace treaty with our country. "In Besa's ruling class, in addition to a royal court, there is also a papal see, although the papal see does not directly intervene in power, but it does not mean that it will not secretly make small moves.

Shangguan Xiu still saw this very thoroughly, and during the peace talks, he felt that the Holy See was a little too quiet, and vaguely he always felt that something seemed to happen.

"Xiang'er should not underestimate the power of the Holy See in Besa, let alone underestimate the ability of the Holy See. ”

The Holy See was the first to appear a spirit spear shooter, and the long-range shooting of the spirit spear shooter was really unguardable, not to mention that Tang Ling didn't know how to be spiritual, even if he was a strong Lingwu Shangguan Xiu, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to retreat under the muzzle of the spirit spear shooter.

Tang Ling snorted out laughing, walked up to Shangguan Xiu, grabbed his sleeve, and said softly: "With you, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

But I'm afraid!" Shangguan Xiu muttered in his heart.

The next day, the Wind Army and the Besa Army jointly set up a temporary camp in the north of the city of Goro, which was specially used for the formal signing of the peace treaty between the two countries.

On both sides of the tent, the banner of the Wind Country was erected on one side, and the wind army was standing on all sides, and on the other side was the banner of Besa, and all the Besa troops were standing nearby.

Most of the clothes of the soldiers of the Wind Army are shabby, the armor on their bodies is torn in many places, and some of them have their breastplates cracked, which are temporarily sewn together with thick hemp rope. On the other hand, the Besa army on the opposite side is bright and bright, full of spirit, and even the people are the same size, obviously carefully selected.

Looking at it coldly, it seems that the Wind Country is the defeated country, and Besa is the victorious country.

The soldiers on both sides faced each other and stood straight, separated by only about five meters.

More than half a month ago, the two sides were still fighting to the death on the battlefield, wishing to kill each other at once, and countless people were killed and wounded.

And now, the soldiers on both sides are close at hand, but they can stand in peace and quiet, and have the leisure to look at each other carefully. The world is so ironic, one moment the enemy who is not in the same sky, the next moment it may be a friend or a partner.

The generals of the Wind Army, led by Shang Guanxiu, and the ministers of Besa, led by Sa Fulong, arrived at the camp at almost the same time.

After the two sides met, Shangguan Xiu and others hugged their fists with the etiquette of the Wind Country, and Sa Fulong and others returned the salute with the etiquette of Besa.

No matter how ferocious the army of tigers and wolves was on the battlefield, when they arrived at the negotiating table, they immediately put on the cloak of civilization that they had long since been thrown away, and became polite, as if they were really from the country of etiquette.

After the greetings, the personnel of both sides walked into the tent together.

In the crowd of Besa, Shangguan Xiu noticed a person, Ian Prologs. The moment he saw Ian, Shangguan Xiu's eyes narrowed, but it couldn't block the cold light from his eyes.

When he saw Ian, his heart ached, he didn't forget that he was because of him, he was shot in the heart and almost died.

To be exact, he was indeed dying at that time, but when the saint came to his rescue, he came back to life and came back to life.

Outside the camp tent, Shangguan Xiu didn't say much, when he walked into the camp tent, the corners of his mouth were hooked, his eyes swept towards Ian, and said with a smile: "Prince Ian, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed!"

Shangguan Xiu saw Ian, the roots of his teeth itched, and Ian saw him, why not?

If it weren't for Shangguan Xiu, he and Tang Ling would not have come to this point at all, in Ian's opinion, the reason why he and Tang Ling became like this is that he Shangguan Xiu.

The two of them are very deep in the city, even if they hate each other to death in their hearts, but there is no show on their faces. Ian's handsome face smiled warmly, softly, and charmingly, and said with a smile: "Lord Shangguan's demeanor is better than before, congratulations." ”

Seeing Ian and Shangguan Xiu smiling and greeting each other, Will stepped forward and asked curiously, "Ian, what do you think of Duke Shangguan?"

Ian elegantly turned his body to the side, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, have you forgotten? Before the National War, I had been an envoy to the Wind Country, and in Shangjing, I and Lord Shangguan often met, and we can be called old friends!"

Will patted his head, showing a look of sudden realization, and said with a smile: "I'm really old and confused, I actually forgot about this, I knew that Ian and Duke Shangguan were old friends, and when negotiating, Ian should also participate!"

Savon frowned as he listened, not understanding whether Will was really confused or pretending to be confused, didn't he know the grievances between Ian and Shangguan Xiu? Shangguan Xiu almost died under Ian's tricks, if Ian was allowed to participate in the negotiations, then there would be no negotiations, and it would be strange if Shangguan Xiu didn't turn his face at the negotiation table!

As soon as he was about to speak, Shangguan Xiu laughed on his back and said in a different way: "It's a pity that Prince Ian left in too much hurry and left the Wind Country in a burning fire, and he didn't give me a chance to feast and see off the wine." ”

Ian was going to leave by himself, but the matter was revealed, and he fled in a hurry, anxious like a lost dog, disguised all the way, and covered people's eyes and ears, only to escape back to Bessa. At this time, Shangguan Xiu's words made Ian's face redden, and the smile on his face became very reluctant.

Sa Fulong hurriedly stood up and played a round game, and said to Shangguan Xiu: "Duke Shangguan, it's not too early, let's sign the contract as soon as possible!"

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu nodded, and then took a deep look at Ian, whose face was a little unbearable, and sneered in his heart, no matter how handsome the skin was, it couldn't hide the dirty inside.

As he walked over to the conference table, he said slowly, "The reason why some damned people are still alive is not because of his life, but because it makes people feel that even if they kill him, they will get their hands dirty. Does Count Avleck think I'm right?"
