"Your Majesty, let's eat some, the dragon body is important." Gan Ming personally stood on the main hall of the peony garden with food.

Xiao Yu glared at Gan Ming in his pajamas, and then said bitterly: "Gan Ming, I never thought that you would be a rebel and a thief!" Now that I've been imprisoned, there's no need to pretend, let's talk about what I'm going to do! ”

Gan Ming knelt down in a panic and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and King Yan dare not be disrespectful to Your Majesty, but the East China Sea is strong, and our soldiers hope that Your Majesty will temporarily put aside the battle with Daxuan, and drive out the captives first." ”

Xiao Yu's mind turned for a moment, and he said softly: "Gan Ming, I know very well that your temper will never do such a rebellious thing, I think it should have been instigated by Quan Xi, and now it is in your territory in Xijing, as long as you reorganize the army, we are still close to the monarch and minister." ”

Gan Ming closed his eyes and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that there is no way to undo it, and the minister is only willing to implore His Majesty to reconcile with Daxuan to fight against foreign enemies, and the minister is willing to be punished!" ”

Xiao Yu was furious, swept all the items on the table on the ground, and then pointed at Gan Ming and scolded: "You killed me or tied me up and sent it to Meng Yan, let me do what you want, impossible!" ”

Gan Ming put the food on the table, and then took out a thick stack of documents from his arms and put it next to the meal, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this is the evidence that the people of the East China Sea are wreaking havoc in the Central Plains, you may change your mind if you see it, Daxuan Gu Yanfeng will arrive in Xijing in a few days, and the minister will go down to prepare first." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Gan Ming's retreating figure and his head jumped suddenly, he never thought that Gan Ming and Quan Xi would dare to imprison him, at present, it seems that they just want to force themselves to fight against the East China Sea and have no idea of taking their own lives.

This is not what Xiao Yu is most worried about, what he is afraid of is that there will be a change in Jinling, Zhong Roulan has never been his own person, binding her to his side is a forced move, and Chu Cheng, Duanmuyang and even Changsun Ji and others will make different choices, Jinling chaos is imminent, Jinling chaos, Daning will inevitably be torn apart, heartache! This damn Kwon Hee, this damn Gan Ming!

Xiao Yu glanced at the food, and then chose the stack of papers, it is impossible to go out now, it is good to take a look.

Quan Xi is a little embarrassed now, he didn't expect Jinling to react so quickly, Pei Xin of Taiyuan has been ordered by Duanmuyang to prepare a counterattack on Xijing, Pei Xin is not terrible, what is terrible is the attitude of Duanmuyang and others, don't they care about Xiao Yu's life when they do this?

And Empress Cong rushed to Xijing with Xiao Han, this was all the information that Chu Cheng passed on to him, and what made him sad was that Chu Cheng was very opposed to his own approach, and he directly pointed out the recklessness of this approach in the letter.

Seeing Gan Ming coming, Quan Xi hurriedly asked, "What is Your Majesty's attitude?" Can there be a turnaround? ”

Gan Ming shook his head helplessly, and said: "Your Majesty is very resolute, and would rather die in our hands than accept it, His Royal Highness King Yan, have we really done something wrong?" ”

Quan Xi smiled bitterly: "General Gan, just do it, there is nothing to regret, you and I launched it for the Central Plains and the people of the world, by the way, what happened to Daxuan?" I heard that Emperor Xuan is in Hanzhong? ”

"Yes, Emperor Xuan has arrived in Hanzhong a few days ago, but this time Emperor Xuan did not come directly, and sent Gu Yanfeng, the prime minister of Great Xuan, and Meng Huan, the king of Great Xuan Qin, to meet with you and me."

"Gu Yanfeng? Xingtan Gu's children, hmph, this Emperor Xuan will still pick people, use Gu Yanfeng to deal with me, use Meng Huan to deal with you, the people of Daning all scolded Meng Yan as a thief, and I don't know that the system of Daxuan is much more clever than ours. ”

"Yan Wang is cautious! Daxuan is just a corner of the country, and it is not the same as our dynasty, if it weren't for the East China Sea people to invade the territory, we would have been ready to go to them a long time ago. ”

Quan Xi looked at Gan Ming suspiciously, he didn't know where Gan Ming's confidence came from, although he had never fought with Da Xuan, but he still knew the prestige of the Xuan army, and the strength of being able to destroy Chu and settle in Luochen can be seen, with the southwest wilderness can be on par with Daning, the battle of Jinnan is just Daning taking the lead, otherwise no one knows where the battle is going, but Gan Ming is currently his own companion, it is better not to increase the estrangement, after all, forcing Xiao Yu to change his mind Gan Ming is the most important person.

"General Gan, Empress Cong will arrive in Xijing in a few days, I mean to let the people of Daxuan sit down and talk together, what do you think?"

"I also have this intention, the war in Jiangdong is imminent, I don't want to become a sinner in the Central Plains because of us!" Gan Ming sighed.

"Pei Xin's soldiers and horses have arrived outside Tongguan, what is General Gan's plan?"

"Humph! Pei Xin, it's not in your eyes yet," Gan Ming said while staring at Quan Xi with interest, and then said: "King Yan, if I remember correctly, this Pei Xin is your old department, right?" ”

Quan Xi was not embarrassed, he understood what Gan Ming meant, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "General Gan, since this king led the whole territory of Youji to be loyal to Daning, I have not had much contact with Pei Xin, even when this king led Youji alone, he Pei Xin also had a lot of disobedience, Pei is a famous family, and they have always only cared about themselves. ”

Gan Ming nodded and said, "In that case, then I'm not welcome." ”

Gan Ming was about to go down to prepare for the talks and the arrangements to deal with Pei Xin, when Quan Xi suddenly stopped him and said, "Does General Gan know the opinions of Yu, Teng, and Changsun?" ”

Gan Ming's body trembled, Quan Xi asked about the embarrassment, he had talked to Teng Han about it, but Teng Han did not agree with his approach, thinking that he was so radical, since the military admonition, Teng Han broke off contact with himself, and Yu Qingwu only made a defensive posture in Yingchuan, as for the eldest grandson Ji completely ignored the matter here, and concentrated on dealing with the people of the East China Sea, this seems to be dull, but it is not normal at all, after all, the three of them control more than half of Daning's soldiers and horses.

Quan Xi saw Gan Ming's embarrassment and comforted: "General Gan doesn't have to worry too much, since the three of them have not expressed their position, they also have a wait-and-see attitude, wait and see, wait for the result of our negotiations, and the three of them will make a choice." ”

Just when the two were talking, Gu Yanfeng and Meng Huan had already arrived at the south gate of Xijing, and for their safety, Meng Yan specially arranged Bai Ze's internal guard escort in both light and dark, involving the future of the Central Plains, and no one dared to be careless.

"Gu Xiang, it seems that Xijing is very nervous! The streets were full of sergeants, and we came here to check them all the way. "It's rare for Meng Huan not to ride a horse, and he can see that he is very relaxed when he sits in the car.

"Lord Wang, we came here to negotiate, not to worry about this, the most important thing for us is to save Xiao Yu's life, and he is here to preside over the resistance to the East China Sea."

"Gu Xiang doesn't have to worry too much, since I promised the imperial brother, I will definitely do what I say, don't worry."

Gu Yanfeng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The old man has never been worried about the prince, but he just thinks that the prince and Xijing have been confronted for many years, especially when he meets Gan Ming, will he want to have a competition?" ”

"Hahaha! Gu Xiang understands me, this king does have this intention, but not now, it may be a good choice to join forces with Gan Ming. ”

Gu Yanfeng nodded and said: "Quan Qing has already encouraged Beimu, and it is only a matter of time before Beimu joins this war to invade the Central Plains, Beimu will definitely return to the Western Regions in the future, and you and Gan Ming will have a time to fight hand in hand." ”

Quan Xi did not come forward, but only placed Gu Yanfeng and his party in the post house, because Empress Cong did not agree to appear at the negotiating table with Daxuan, her condition was that Xiao Yu must be released first, and the negotiations should be held in Jinling or Luzhou.

"Niangniang, the matter has come to this, why force it, now Your Majesty's life is at stake, Gu Yanfeng is the prime minister of Daxuan, and he must come with Emperor Xuan's conditions, why don't we meet first?" Chu Cheng persuaded.

"Prime Minister, Quan Xi and Gan Ming are holding Your Majesty hostage in a rebellious way, Daxuan must be bad at this time, and the palace only wants His Majesty to return to Beijing safely." Zhong Roulan rejected Chu Cheng's suggestion.

"Niangniang, I'm afraid that Your Majesty's safety is in the decision of the two who came to Daxuan, Quan Xi and Gan Ming just want to force Your Majesty to go east to fight against the East China Sea, but if we force them to be in a hurry, it is not surprising that with Quan Xi's personality, he will do something to kill the king." Chu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, he was clear about the process of Quan Xi's claim to be emperor back then.

"He's your old master, do you think he will?" Zhong Roulan frowned and asked, Chu Cheng swore what he said, she was willing to believe Chu Cheng, if what Chu Cheng said was true, then she had to change her strategy.

"Yu Niangniang, yes, Quan Xi only does things according to his own likes and dislikes, and the things he decides must not achieve his goal and vow not to give up!"

Zhong Roulan exhaled lightly and fell into deep thought, the ravages of the East China Sea people are inseparable from the indulgence of a few of them back then, which is also a reason why Meng Yan has always been reluctant to reconcile with them, after Cang Shu Haoyue was assassinated, Meng Yan reminded them to defend against the East China Sea people, but neither she nor Xiao Yu took it to heart, and now the situation seems to be Meng Yan right.

"Chu Xiang, you have some friendship with Da Xuan, you go to the post house to test the temptation first, Gu Yanfeng and Meng Huan's identities are not ordinary, Meng Yan must have thought about it in many ways when he sent the two of them over."

"The minister will go to see Xuan Xiang at night, and as for Meng Huan, maybe he won't see the minister." Chu Cheng analyzed.

"You're right, Meng Huan is a representative of the Daxuan military and a member of the Daxuan clan, he won't meet people easily, especially ours, but this palace estimates that he will definitely go to meet Gan Ming first."

"Why did the mother say this?" Chu Cheng didn't understand and asked directly.

"In recent days, Beimu soldiers and horses have moved, and under the instigation of Quan Qing, I am afraid that they are going to march into the Western Regions, whether it is us or Daxuan, they are watching the Western Regions closely, if Beimu invades, the two of them will bear the brunt of it."

"Beimu is also going to join it? Are they connected to the East China Sea? ”

"It doesn't matter if they are colluded or not, how many traitors from the Central Plains are in Beimu, and Beimu's eyesight on the Central Plains is not weaker than that of the East China Sea, so it doesn't matter if they are colluded or not, the situation of invading the Central Plains has been completed, and they will not let go."

Chu Cheng was shocked in his heart, the negotiation must be stepped up, it can't be dragged on like this, Xiao Yu must come out as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.

That night, Chu Cheng visited Gu Yanfeng alone, Gu Yanfeng was not surprised, but glanced at Meng Huan on the side and smiled: "What? Your Highness doesn't avoid it? ”

"The first emperor has a half-teacher friendship with Chu Cheng, I am a member of the Meng clan, it is better not to see it, it just so happens that Gan Ming's people also sent a letter to ask me to talk about Beimu tonight, and the matter here will be left to Xiangye."

Soon after Meng Huan left, Chu Cheng was led in, and when he saw the long-haired middle-aged man on the seat, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Daning Chu Cheng has seen Gu Xiang!" ”

"Hehe, you don't have to be polite, you and I both know why we are meeting, just go straight." Gu Yanfeng didn't plan to talk too much nonsense with Chu Cheng.

"It's okay, the old man said it bluntly·····"
