Shangguan Xiu's figure flickered, walked forward with a smile, and asked curiously, "What book is Xiang'er reading?"

"A travelogue written by the Bessa. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Tang Ling raised the book in his hand so that Shangguan Xiu could see the cover.

"Can Xiang'er understand Besa?"

"The illustrations inside are wonderful. Tang Ling put down the book in his hand, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and asked, "I heard that a messenger from Besa came to sue for peace just now?"

"Yes. ”

"You didn't allow it?" During this time, Tang Ling had an understanding of the situation of the Zhenjun army, and it really reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and many soldiers began to dig the grass roots of weeds to satisfy their hunger, in the face of such a predicament, Shangguan Xiu could still refuse Besa's peace, she really couldn't guess what Shangguan Xiu thought in her heart.

"Yes, no. ”

"Why not, now is not the time to be rash!" Tang Ling reminded him worriedly.

"There's no hurry. Seeing Tang Ling's delicate little brows, Shangguan Xiu smiled, raised his hand, gently leveled her brows, and said: "It's not that we are not in a hurry, we can't show a anxious posture, and we want to force the Besa people to be more anxious and nervous than us, only in this way can the Besa people fully accept the conditions put forward by us." ”

"Cunning. Tang Ling pulled down his hand and stroked his thick palm. Shangguan Xiu is not only cunning, but his heart is black and ruthless, which Tang Ling has always known.

Tang Ling's ruthlessness is ruthless on the surface a lot of the time, and there is a soft and fragile side in his heart, while Shangguan Xiu's ruthlessness is ruthless inside, on the surface, he is humble and approachable, but in fact, his heart is far stronger than it looks on the outside, and it is much colder and harder. Bai Du Yixia performed a new chapter of the Song Hall to cut the mouth of the L section

Shangguan Xiu sat down next to the soft couch and muttered, "If you are not cunning in negotiations, you are stupid." ”

Negotiations between countries involve national interests, and at this time, if you don't play tricks and talk about humility and courtesy with others, it is not yourself who suffers, but the whole country.

Seeing the tired look on his face, Tang Ling felt sad and distressed, her little hands put on his shoulders, pulled him down on the soft couch, let him pill on his body, and said, "Ah Xiu, I'm very tired!"

Her sudden intimate action made Shangguan Xiu's body stiffen, but he was soon relieved, turned around, and pillowed Tang Ling's lower abdomen on his side, the fragrant and not strong fragrance penetrated into his nostrils, refreshing his heart, he sighed comfortably, and said with a smile: "I've been used to it for a long time." ”

He was not unheard of in situations that were harder and more exhausting than he was now.

"Sleep with me!"

"No need to ......" Shangguan Xiu just spoke, Tang Ling said: "I asked the gendarmes around you, you didn't close your eyes all night yesterday. Your body is not only your own, but also mine!" she sat up and gently rubbed Shangguan Xiu's forehead.

It's not that Shangguan Xiu doesn't want to sleep, it's not that he's so busy that he doesn't have time to sleep at all, it's that he can't sleep at all.

As the commander of the whole army, he is under too much pressure, fighting deep into the hinterland of Besa, isolated, and a little carelessness may lead to the death of the whole army, and he is carrying hundreds of thousands of human lives, this kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can bear.

Tang Ling's little hands seemed to have a magical power, and under her gentle kneading, tiredness gradually hit, Shangguan Xiu felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he actually pillowed her soft body and really fell asleep.

Hearing his long, even breathing, Tang Ling's fingers slid lightly across his cheeks.

During this time, he has lost a lot of weight, and he still has a green beard on his cheeks, and he looks more and more mature.

"When this battle is over, we will get married after we return to Beijing, okay?" "If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise!" "When I was trapped in Sail City, I really didn't expect you to appear, and when I saw you, I wasn't afraid of anything at that time." ”

She muttered to herself as she gently stroked Shangguan Xiu's cheek. Less than a quarter of an hour after Shangguan Xiu fell asleep, a gendarme from outside the tent walked in, stood behind the screen, and intervened to report: "Your Majesty!

Feeling Shangguan Xiu on his lap move, Tang Ling frowned, showing a look of displeasure, and asked, "Where is the envoy of Besa now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, just outside the tent!"

"Let him wait outside!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the gendarme who reported the news agreed, turned around and was about to go out, Shangguan Xiu opened his eyes and said, "Wait a minute!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Let him in, and by the way, invite the military advisor over. ”

"Yes, sir!"

After the gendarmes walked out, Tang Ling looked at Shangguan Xiu helplessly and said, "You can sleep for a while!"

"When the battle is over, I can sleep for three days and three nights. Shangguan Xiu's chaotic eyes quickly returned to clear, smiled at Tang Ling, and added two more words: "We." ”

Tang Lingyu's face turned crimson, he glanced at him fiercely, and said, "You are so beautiful." ”

"Since we are going to get married when we return to Beijing, don't we sleep together?"

"Did you hear that?" the flush quickly spread from her cheeks to her pink neck.

Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but smile on his back, raised his head, and pecked Tang Ling's lips lightly. Even when he was asleep, his ears were open, and all the movement around him could not hide from his ears.

Will and Meng Qiuchen entered the dormitory together.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was lying on Tang Ling's legs on the soft couch in the sleeping tent, Meng Qiuchen hurriedly lowered his head, bowed slightly, and didn't dare to take a second look.

Will looked at Shangguan Xiu and Tang Ling in surprise, this pair of young men and women, the man is handsome and elegant, and the woman is absolutely beautiful, like a pair of beautiful people, even the well-informed Will also looked straight at this time.

"Report your name first, this is the basic courtesy of the visitor, don't you understand?" Shangguan Xiu didn't mean to sit up, he still lay on Tang Ling's lap, treating guests like this, of course, it was a very rude and arrogant act, but the softness under his head made him nostalgic, and he didn't think that Besa's envoy had the need to treat him politely.

When Shangguan Xiu's gaze swept over him, Will felt like a knife was slashing around his body, he shrank his neck in fright, subconsciously lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "I...... I'm Duke Will Pross!"

"Oh, you're the Duke of Pross?"

"Positive...... Precisely. ”

"Haha!" Shangguan Xiu laughed and said slowly: "Duke Pros is so bold, he dares to send an envoy to my Feng Battalion, don't you know that the officers and soldiers of our army are waiting to take your head?"

He said it lightly, but Will was scared into a cold sweat, his legs were weak, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

He has never been bold, otherwise, he would not sit in the city and command the Xicheng defense line remotely, let alone let his own niece replace him.

Seeing that his face was as pale as earth with fright, and his body trembled, Tang Ling couldn't help but giggle.

Shangguan Xiu finally sat up lazily, twisted his neck, made a crunchy sound, and said: "Duke Pros don't have to be afraid, I'm just joking with you, I still understand the rules of the two countries not fighting each other, please sit down." ”

When Will heard this, he was relieved, and he felt like he had fallen into hell and climbed up again, he wiped a handful of cold sweat oozing from his forehead, bowed to Shangguan Xiu again and again, slowly walked to the side of the bedding, and sat down.

Meng Qiuchen walked across from him and sat down.

After the two of them sat down, Shangguan Xiu slapped his face, and An Rong walked in from outside, holding a tray in his hand, and placed the teacups on it one by one in front of Shangguan Xiu, Tang Ling, Meng Qiuchen, and Wei.

"Excuse me, my lord is the Duke of Shangguan, right?"

"I'm Shangguan Xiu!"

"Oh, if it's really the Duke of Shangguan, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Will bowed to Shangguan Xiu with the etiquette of the Wind Country.

He didn't even keep the etiquette of his own country, and switched to the etiquette of the enemy country, he was really a spineless guy! Shangguan Xiu felt funny in his heart, could the royal court of Besa have no one to send, how could he send such a soft-headed person to negotiate peace?

"Duke Pross is also here to negotiate peace?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Can you be the lord of the king of your country?"

"This ......"

"I don't want to waste my time, and I don't want to waste my words, if Duke GLP can't call the shots, please go back!"

"This ...... I also ask the Duke of Shangguan to put forward the conditions for peace, I ...... I will definitely bring the conditions of the Duke of Shangguan to Brother Wang. ”

Shangguan Xiu didn't answer immediately, rubbing his chin, his scrutinizing gaze sweeping over Will's face.

Will subconsciously lowered his head again, not daring to look at Shangguan Xiu at all. After a while, Shangguan Xiu said slowly: "I have three conditions. First, Besa was to pay us 20,000 silver coins. ”

"Multi-...... How much?" Will wondered if his ears had misheard.

"Twenty thousand!"

"Two ...... 20,000,000 ......"

"Secondly, your country needs to cede the Nashikia region to our country. Thirdly, your country needs to open the city of Mulun and its surrounding areas to our country, and allow us to trade and garrison troops there. ”

The city of Mulun, belonging to the city-state of Ser, is located in the southwesternmost part of the Gabul region. The city of Mulun is blessed with West Oren to the north, Nashikia to the south, Gabur to the east, and Duki to the west.

Shangguan Xiu said that the Wind Country was allowed to trade in Mulun City, this is a lie, the trade between the two countries has never been broken, what he really wants is that the Wind Country can garrison troops in Mulun City, which is extremely important to the Wind Country.

First, it can further control and protect the city-state of Solan in Theoren, second, it can restrain the eastward expansion of Ningnan from Duki, and third, the Wind Kingdom can use Mulun City as the frontier of its own rule over Nashikya.

After listening to the three conditions proposed by Shangguan Xiu, Will was dumbfounded, and he couldn't agree to any of these three conditions.

200 million silver coins, how much money does it have to be, even if all the treasury of Betha is emptied, it is not enough for this amount, as the chancellor of the exchequer, how can he not know how much money is in the treasury of Bethsa.

As for ceding Nasikia and allowing the Wind Army to garrison in Mulun City, it would be a national shame for Besa, worse than the indemnity, and how could he make a decision?
