Xiaoyu Mountain City is not tall, but it is not short either. On the top of the mountain, the wind is howling non-stop, and there is always a constant whirring sound.

In the past, there was a ghost mother palace here, with high walls and deep courtyards, and I couldn't hear too much wind. Now the palace is gone, and the wind is unhindered, and it can always roar on the top of the mountain.

Xiao Shizhu listened to the whistling wind outside the house, raised his eyes to look at the swaying grass and trees at the gate of the courtyard, and at the same time said to Yingzhao and them: "We need to recuperate, and the Beiyin Dynasty also needs it, all of them are urgently needed, regardless of who needs them more." Therefore, the tougher we are at this negotiating table and do not make the slightest retreat, the easier it will be for the Northern Yin Dynasty to compromise. ”。

After saying that, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Ji Kang and Jiang Ziwen. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu said again: "Both of them served in the Northern Yin Dynasty before, and they know some of their secrets, and they are also familiar with Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng's temperament. It has now been established that Emperor Xudu has sent them to negotiate with us. Dealing with them at the negotiating table, it will be easier for the two of you to know each other. So please two. ”。

This is what turning enemies into friends is more important than killing a thousand enemies.

Xiao Shizhu knew this truth very well, so in the past, as long as there were old ministers and old ministers of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and they sincerely joined the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he would treat them well and treat them equally.

Therefore, those ghosts who came from the Beiyin Dynasty can always produce miraculous effects when they are critical.

Just like now, he is going to use Jiang Ziwen and Ji Kang to deal with Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng. Speaking from afar, Na Taifeng guarded Xiao Shizhu in the Yellow Spring

"Don't worry, my lord. Jiang Ziwen nodded, and Ji Kang assured Xiao Shizhu: "We will go all out to make the Northern Yin Dynasty bleed well." Don't say it's Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng, don't even think about bargaining when the Wheel King comes in person. ”。

"Then please, but not only that, I also want you to use the negotiation to kill the prestige of the Northern Yin Dynasty. Xiao Shizhu, who said this, moved his gaze again and landed on Ying Zhao's face.

Ying Zhao immediately understood, knowing what Xiao Shizhu wanted him to do to kill the majesty of the Northern Yin Dynasty, so he nodded in response.

"Once we can raise our authority in this matter, the entire Netherworld Mansion, the others who are still loyal to the Hades King of the Ghost Kingdom of the Northern Yin Dynasty, will inevitably be shaken. Xiao Shizhu smiled, and there was treachery in his smile.

The wind rose again, and the grass and trees in the courtyard staggered with the wind.

"Does the lord want to take advantage of this to isolate the Northern Yin Dynasty?" Jiang Ziwen thought calmly for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "But there is an old saying, Qin Hui can still have three friends." Even so, the Northern Yin Dynasty will not be completely isolated. ”。

It's just a worry that the effort will be in vain, and it is better to do more practical things.

"It doesn't matter. Xiao Shizhu waved his hand, and said disapprehantly: "I don't think that in this way, the Beiyin Dynasty will have no diehard followers." I just want to use this to make them, the ghost kingdom and the king of the underworld, so I feel that the Northern Yin Dynasty is declining, and there is a gap between the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Northern Yin Dynasty. At the same time, it is not so loyal. ”。

Jiang Ziwen thought about it for a while, and also felt that it was feasible, so he nodded and said, "That's okay." ”。

He then thought that in this way, it would be impossible for the Northern Yin Dynasty to be in the Yin Dynasty in the Netherworld, and he couldn't help but admire Xiao Shizhu in his heart.

It's just a small gesture that can serve so many purposes. Not only to blackmail the Northern Yin Dynasty, but also to disgrace the old ghosts of Xudu, and to make the Northern Yin Dynasty and their followers estranged because of this.

It can be seen that Xiao Shizhu really knows himself and his opponent for his opponent. In order to plan these countermeasures so thoroughly.

"In addition, we must also pay attention not to let the two ghosts who came to negotiate secretly incite those Xudu Army and Xuandi Army who came to surrender to the water. Xiao Shizhu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced around the table: "It is best to arrange this negotiation location at sea, and do not let them get off the boat and land on the island." I have already asked the co-workers to come back and lead the sailors to wait for the dispatch of the British in the vicinity. His main fleet was equipped with iron dragon ships, which could be used to show off his might against the Northern Yin Dynasty. It is not impossible to set the negotiating point on his flagship. ”。

"Yes. The three ghost officials had no objections, and they responded in unison.

"You still have to drag the ghost envoy of the Northern Yin Dynasty as much as possible and talk for a few more days. Xiao Shizhu thought of the sneak attack plan he had made before, and added: "Anyway, the transmission of the Northern Yin Dynasty is slow, and the longer this negotiation can be delayed, the better." ”。

If it is negotiated in three or two days, then he will be forced to withdraw the loess and them. Before they had robbed enough, they would lose a lot if they withdrew their troops and came back.

In line with the principle of not trading at a loss, Xiao Shizhu made such a decision.

Ying recruited the three ghosts to know that Xiao Shizhu arranged it like this, and he must have a good intention. Therefore, he didn't ask too much, and nodded in response.

"Big brother, are you going back to the capital?" Ying Zhao then interjected.

"yes, I'm still a little reluctant to go back, how much fun it is to eat, drink and have fun with you. But during the time I went to Huangquan, the third and fourth children of my family were born, and I haven't even seen these two little cubs in person. Xiao Shizhu nodded and said with a smile: "I'm a father, I have to go back and see them." And there are a lot of things in Yuque City, waiting for me to deal with them. If you don't go back, your sister-in-law will have to tear me up. ”。

"Haha. Ying Zhao laughed loudly and joked: "Then you will let my sister-in-law tear it." Anyway, you have a mysterious power to protect your body, and she can't do anything to you. ”。

Xiao Shizhu also laughed a few times.

"When you're done, I'll come back to Sayue Island, and I'll have to sign my name on this treaty. In the echoing laughter, Xiao Shizhu said again: "There is another thing you need to remember, if you don't see rabbits, you don't scatter eagles, we don't see compensation materials, and we will never put the peace talks mission back, and I will take care of their food and shelter." ”......

Just when Xiao Shizhu was planning how to do his best to extort bamboo from the Northern Yin Dynasty, the worried Wei Zheng also followed Lu Zhidao and the accompanying guards, and went all the way south out of the capital and went straight to the calf pass.

The brigade of men and horses walked day and night on the official road, galloping all the way to the south, and hurried towards the calf pass.

Lu Zhidao has been carefully observing for the past few days, and seeing that Wei Zheng is always silent, and he has been frowning, always looking preoccupied. Today, the beast is walking on the official road to the south, and it is the same, Lu Zhidao couldn't help but be curious, but he pretended to be stupid and asked: "Brother Xuancheng, I am depressed all day as if I have something on my mind, isn't it because the iron shackles on my hands are too heavy?"

With that, he turned his head to look at the shiny iron shackles on Wei Zheng's wrist that was walking side by side.

Don't look at Emperor Xudu allowed Wei Zheng to be released from prison, but he did not order Wei Zheng's prison clothes and iron shackles. That Wei Zheng is still a prisoner, but he has the identity of a ghost envoy for peace talks, and he is not exempted from punishment because of this.

This was very peculiar, and along the way, when the ghost people saw this team, they thought that they were escorting some important prisoner, and went south.

On the contrary, the humiliating matter of the upcoming peace talks between the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Nine Shadows Kingdom temporarily spread in the areas under the rule of the Northern Yin Dynasty. Naturally, there was no large-scale panic and discontent.

This is naturally also the intention of Emperor Xudu; after all, the matter of peace talks with the Nine Shadows Kingdom will not be exposed if it can be exposed. As for the time when he really couldn't hide it, Emperor Xudu also had plans and preparations to beautify the matter.

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't believe it, you Lu Zhidao didn't see it, why am I?"

After that, Wei Zheng sighed.

Of course, Lu Zhidao knew that Wei Zheng was unwilling to negotiate. As we all know, this negotiation is the most humiliating one since the founding of the Beiyin Dynasty.

It is a fact that the treaties that are extremely humiliating and humiliating are a sure thing. No matter how much they talk and how much they bargain, it won't change much.

In the end, the Northern Yin Dynasty still had to cede the land and pay compensation. Otherwise, they will not return to Gong Mingyi and Zhong Kui.

If he hadn't talked about it according to Zhong Kui's suggestion, he wouldn't have dragged it out, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom would not have done anything to Gong Mingyi. And as long as the Northern Yin Dynasty shows that it doesn't attach much importance to Gong Mingyi, then Gong Mingyi won't have much value to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

Naturally, Gong Mingyi will be put back.

At least, it will not cause the Northern Yin Dynasty to suffer such humiliation.

But now, it's all irreparable. Although only a few ghosts in the Northern Yin Dynasty knew the news that needed to be negotiated, Wei Zheng believed that with the powerful intelligence network that could not be exterminated in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, he was afraid that even the members of the negotiation team would have figured out what the hell was.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible for the Northern Yin Dynasty to show that the Northern Yin Dynasty does not care about Gong Mingyi again.

Now it's difficult to ride a tiger, you have to talk about it if you don't want to extort money from the Nine Shadows, you still have to be next to each other.

It was because of these that Wei Zheng was reluctant to go to peace talks. In the future, if any unsightly historian records this history, then he and Lu Zhidao will become sinners through the ages.

Anyway, they negotiated the peace talks, and in the end, they signed on behalf of Emperor Xudu, and those who were scolded had to be scolded first.

Lu Zhidao naturally knew this, but he knew that he also had to bite the bullet. Who made him foolish?

So, after a long sigh, he said helplessly: "Okay, Brother Xuancheng, don't sigh for a long time." What can we do if we don't want to do this? But let's do our best, and let each one be safe. ”。

The spring breeze was slightly cool, but in the long sighs of these two ghosts, it became like an autumn wind, full of sadness.

"But Brother Xuancheng ......" After a long time, Lu Zhidao, who was thinking while walking, said thoughtfully: "Even if we don't want to, Your Majesty can see it, and ordered us to talk, against the norm, will he be planning something with this?"

As he spoke, Lu Zhidao frowned, and his eyes were full of confusion in an instant.

Emperor Xudu is old, but in the ghost clan, he is not old enough to be old and confused. Things are still done in an orderly manner, and there are not many misjudgments in strategy.

Except for facing the Nine Shadows Kingdom, there are some wins and fewer defeats, but there is nothing.

In short, with their understanding of the Emperor Xudu. The reason why this divine soul is ruthless is that it can stretch and bend. This time, the Emperor Xudu has to compromise and seek perfection, in Lu Zhidao's opinion, there is a kind of suffocation.

In short, after thinking about it, Lu Zhidao felt that the reason behind Emperor Xudu's insistence on accomplishing this matter was by no means simple.

Lu Zhidao thought about it, but he still felt that Emperor Xudu needed time to complete his revenge, and he would be ashamed of it, so it would be so easy to compromise.

And Wei Zheng, who heard his words, also pondered.

The wind and grass on the side of the road are blowing, and the branches and leaves of the towering trees are shaking, shaking off a lot of fallen leaves.

The procession continued forward, heading south, its hooves rattling on the official road and kicking up dust behind them.

After a long time, Wei Zheng thought about Lu Zhidao's words, and thought about the various kinds and personalities of the Emperor Xudu in the past, and after a long sigh, he whispered as if talking to himself: "I hope so, even if we go to be humiliated, it is worth it." ”。
