Chapter 233: Preparations Before Negotiation

Ding Guogong returned home with a smile on his face and went directly to his wife's yard.

When the Duchess Qiao Shi saw her master enter the room, she asked with a smile on her face, "The master is so happy today, but what is the joy of happening?"

Dingguo Gong said with a smile: "This An Le Hou has made a great contribution, and the Holy Lord has sent him as an envoy to the peace talks, presiding over the peace talks with the Xiyan Kingdom with full authority. If he can complete the task given by the saint, then he will make another contribution, and the future will be limitless. Now that he is a marquis, it is not impossible for him to be crowned a prince in the future."

Hearing this, Qiao Shi smiled and said, "Then if our family Lan'er marries in the past, it will be the Duchess of the Kingdom."

Lu Zhilan was also here with her mother at this time, and she was secretly happy when she heard her father's words.

Before, she heard that An Lehou had made great contributions at the border pass and killed Liang Wei, the general of the Xiyan Kingdom, which turned the tide of the battle that was unfavorable to the Jin State and won a complete victory. Lu Zhilan was delighted that her sweetheart had established a miracle feat, and she was even more pleased that she had a good vision and fell in love with such a big hero.

Now I am even happier to hear my father say that An Lehou was appointed as a peace envoy by the saint. Just like my father said, if An Lehou and Xiyanguo complete the task assigned by the saint through peace talks, then he has made a great contribution, and when he returns to Beijing one day, An Lehou will definitely be rewarded and rewarded. In the future, it is not unattainable to seal the country.

Qiao Shi looked at his daughter who was pursing her lips and smiling and said, "Lan'er, now that An Lehou is not in the capital, we can't invite him to come to the house as a guest. I think you should wait for An Le Hou to return to Beijing and let your father find out his heart, and then your father will ask the Holy Lord for a favor to give you and An Le Hou a marriage."

When Lu Zhilan heard this, she lowered her head in shame and whispered, "But it's up to my father and mother to decide."

Dingguo Gong is really satisfied with An Lehou as his son-in-law, not only handsome but also quite talented, such a son is worthy of his own daughter.

Not only the Dingguo Mansion is talking about Jingyi, but the Xu family is also talking about Jingyi.

Mrs. Xu took the tea brought by the maid and put it in front of her master and said with a smile: "Master, now the whole capital is talking about An Lehou's killing of Liang Wei, the general of Xiyan, and the complete victory of the White Tiger Army, this An Lehou is now a well-known hero."

Xu Liangsheng stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Not only that, but now the Holy Lord has directly appointed An Lehou as the envoy of the peace talks, and is fully responsible for the peace talks with the Xiyan Kingdom. This shows that the Holy God trusts and values An Lehou very much.

Although Marquis Anle was knighted before, he has never had an official position, and this time he has made such a great contribution, and when he comes back, the saint will definitely add another reward, and it is estimated that he will also be awarded an official position. At that time, An Le Hou Ke will be the hottest court minister in the capital."

Mrs. Xu said, "Master, I see that our family Yinyin is very concerned about An Lehou's affairs, and I am afraid that she has taken a fancy to others."

Xu Liangsheng was stunned when he heard this, "Oh, what did Yin Yin tell you?"

Mrs. Xu said, "I don't know my daughter yet. When she mentioned An Lehou, her eyes were full of light. is very concerned about An Lehou's affairs, and the mentality of the youngest daughter is fully revealed. Besides, when did you see our daughter care so much about a man other than her brother?"

Xu Liangsheng stroked his beard and pondered for a moment and said, "This An Lehou is indeed a good candidate for a good husband, but now An Lehou can be described as hot, I am afraid that there are not a few people who are staring at his family affairs, and it will not be easy for our family Yinyin to get what he wants."

Mrs. Xu said, "Our family is both talented and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and has a good family background, compared with other noble girls in Beijing, it is also one of the best, which man doesn't like it? An Lehou can be excluded? Besides, An Lehou saved our family Yinyin again, and it would be a good story if he could achieve good things."

Xu Liangsheng nodded and said, "You go back and ask your daughter well, and you have to clarify her mind. If Yin Yin really likes An Lehou, then I will help our daughter plan it, how can I let Yin Yin marry a good husband."

Seeing that her master agreed, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Yin Yin when I go back."

After dinner in the evening, Mrs. Xu pulled her daughter into the room, "Yin Yin, you talk to your mother, do you like An Le Hou Chu Jingyan?"

Xu Ruyin lowered her head in shame when she heard this, and Mrs. Xu saw that there was something she didn't understand.

She grabbed her daughter's

The hand said, "Our family doesn't expect you to marry a wealthy family, let alone marry into the royal family. The royal family is a big dye vat, and there is no comfortable life in intrigue all day long. Although Marquis An Le has been awarded the title of Marquis, he does not have a huge family behind him, and our family background is not inferior to him in the slightest.

Go back and ask your father to inquire more about the situation in his family, if the population of his family is simple, it would be better, you will marry Mrs. Hou, you can directly be the master of the house, there will not be so many private things in the inner house, and life will be more comfortable."

Xu Ruyin is no longer hiding from her mother at this time, after all, this is related to her own happiness, "Mother, I have been thinking of him from time to time since An Lehou saved me. He was able to save me regardless of danger and the eyes of the world, and I felt that he was a kind and gentle person. I feel at ease as a husband and wife with such a person.

Besides, I was rescued by An Lehou after I fell into the water in the Eldest Princess's Mansion that day, so many people saw it, my reputation will be affected somewhat, and if I can marry An Lehou, it will be the best result."

Mrs. Xu nodded, "What you said is indeed true. Don't be in a hurry about this matter, I'll let your father inquire more about An Lehou's situation, if it is really suitable, your father and I will let you get your wish."

When Xu Ruyin heard this, she happily hugged her mother's arm, and her little daughter's posture was full, "Thank you father and mother for making it perfect."

Jing Yi didn't know that there were many people in the capital who were thinking about her. She was preparing for peace talks at the southwest border.

After reading the holy decree, Shao Yichen said, "Jing Yan, when are you going to make peace with the envoys sent by the Xiyan Kingdom? This time, the Xiyan Kingdom sent Murong Huai, the third prince of the Xiyan Kingdom. It is said that this third prince has always been the main peace faction, and this time Emperor Xiyan sent him to bring an envoy to the peace talks, it seems that he is really afraid."

Jing Yi smiled and said, "Just because he is the Lord and the faction doesn't mean that he is easy to deal with. We should try to strive for as many benefits as possible on the premise of fulfilling the requirements of the Holy One. Brother Shao, you sent someone to investigate the members of the Xiyan Peace Talks Mission this time, I want detailed information about everyone.

Only by finding out the situation of each member of the other side can we prescribe the right medicine and strive for more benefits when negotiating. It is not difficult for the Holy Lord to ask Xiyan to cede the two cities, because we have now occupied the three cities of Xiyan. We only need two cities, and they should agree. It should be fine for us to exchange another city for 10 million taels of silver."
