The condescending arrogance in Li Yunqing's words seemed to infuriate the princess from the sea.

Aureli's beautiful blue eyes almost narrowed into two gaps, and a hint of coldness shot out of them, but the words were still quiet:

"I thought that His Royal Highness the Third Prince would be different from the others in the Great Yan Imperial Capital, but now it seems that I was wrong."

"The respect that the envoys can receive comes from the dynasty behind you."

Li Yunqing laughed softly, his eyes narrowed:

"The princess of the kingdom of Sean, this king will tell you a story, oh no, this is not a story, it is a fact that only happened last year."

Oren Lida frowned slightly:

"Your Highness, please speak, I'm listening."

Li Yunqing slowly raised the fragrant tea in his hand like raising a wine glass, and shook it gently under the illumination of the inscription lamp, and the pale green tea rippled:

"To the northwest of my Great Yan is a place called the Great Desert, where there is a Tartar Imperial Court, the national strength is not too strong, and it should be generally stronger than the whole of the Japanese demons you are fighting with now.

"And at the beginning of autumn last year, they sent a prince to Di'an City as an envoy."

When Xu Yuan heard this, the corners of his eyes jumped unconsciously, and Li Yunqing brought a hint of banter:

"When that prince was staying in the city of Di'an, he got into trouble with the heir of one of our courtiers, and unfortunately the heir was not very good-tempered."

At this point, Li Yunqing paused, smiled and whispered to Ao Lunli:

"Guess what happened in the end?"

“.” Auren Li pressed Dai's eyebrows and did not answer.

"If you don't want to guess, then the king will tell you directly."

Li Yunqing raised the porcelain cup in his hand to his lips and blew it gently: "That prince was killed directly, and the heir of that important minister is just like this king is now."

Words fall,

Li Yunqing drank all the fragrant tea in the cup and grinned:

"Punish yourself with three glasses."

Tonight's negotiations ended unhappily.

Li Yunqing's words are already a naked threat, an insult to the Sean royal family.

Auren Li departed, taking with the tin can named Huron and leaving the private room for a thousand taels.

For a moment, there was silence in the wings.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yunqing, and also stood up on his knees.

Seeing this, Li Yunqing glanced at him, and his voice was slightly surprised:

"What, you're leaving too?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and walked towards the terrace that came with the wing:

"Go and blow the cold wind."

"Huh."

Li Yunqing chuckled, then stopped caring and sat on the soft futon and poured himself a drink.

Coming to the terrace that came with the wing, the cold wind of the winter night was negative, Xu Yuan glanced at the lights of the thousands of homes under the moonlit night of Di'an below, and asked faintly:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Li Yunqing put down the teacup, looked at Xu Yuan standing on the terrace with his back, and said with a leisurely smile:

"Negotiation is like pursuing a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, you can't be anxious, let alone directly express your intentions, you must know how to pull back and forth, and you must continue to deepen little by little."

The moonlight is like a waterfall, Xu Yuan propped his hands on the wooden railing, half-turned his head, and leaned at Li Yunqing in the room, a pair of pale golden pupils were particularly deep under the moonlight:

"You know I don't mean that, when did your partner become the Kingdom of Sean?"

Li Yunqing froze for a moment, and smiled a little unexpectedly:

"Hey, why did you kid still use the exercises, I don't remember that there are exercises in this world that can detect lies, or hear the voices of others."

"I'm not targeting you."

Xu Yuan turned his eyes looking down, and replied lightly, "What are you doing this for?" ”

"Of course, it's to grab more benefits."

"What do you mean?"

"Huh."

Li Yunqing chuckled, stood up from the heavy tea case of Xu Chang, and walked slowly towards Xu Yuan:

"My royal brother is a cousin of the emperor, and I have a chance to go to Dongying, but unfortunately, except for a name, my father has given me little support."

While speaking, Li Yunqing had already come to Xu Yuan's side and stood still, leaning against the wooden railing, tilting his head slightly, looking at the dark sky, and his tone was quiet:

"The share of 500,000 taels of ordnance and the forbidden army of four songs, I take this little belongings to Dongying, what role can it play? I thought I could get at least one battalion of horses. ”

Xu Yuan's heart was also instantly clear when he heard this:

"Can't you pull your hand away?"

"Yes, the war in the north is enough to give my father a headache, alas, I don't know if I can live my life after this bit of belongings, I escaped from one pit and jumped into another."

"It's good after all, going to Dongying on this trip can be regarded as a trapped dragon entering the sea, isn't it?"

"Huh, you trust me so much?"

Li Yunqing tilted his head and hooked the corners of his lips: "But you are right, compared to being in Di'an City, you can really let go of your hands and feet after going to Dongying." ”

Xu Yuan also smiled when he heard this, staring at Li Yunqing's eyes:

"Then I wish you success in your plan."

Li Yunqing's eyes lowered slightly, and his tone was a little serious:

"It's hard to say that success, my father has given me too little, and the strength of the Sean Dynasty on the sea is not weak, even if everything goes well, it will probably fail"

Xu Yuan was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Aren't you so afraid of death, why do you insist on going there when the risk is so great?"

"Because there, I can control my own life."

"What?" Xu Yuan.

Li Yunqing leaned against the wooden fence and smiled leisurely:

"In Di'an City, my life and death do not depend on me, all the efforts I make may be turned into a torch by the thoughts of others, just like my imperial brother, who has been the crown prince for decades, and in the end it is also between the thoughts of my father."

Speaking of which,

Li Yunqing raised his hand towards the pitch-black sky dome and shook it hard:

"And as long as I go to Dongying, no matter how difficult it is, my Li Yunqing's life is in my own hands."

“.” Xu Yuan.

Staring at Li Yunqing in a daze, Xu Yuan shook his head with a chuckle, and said quietly:

"As a friend, I can promise you that if you fail, I will"

"Help me get revenge?"

"Go to your grave and incense."

“.”

Li Yunqing's face stiffened, but then he chuckled and nodded, turned around, looked at the full moon, and said with a smile:

"It's not enough to be fragrant, you have to bring some wine, and at least 10,000 taels of silver to start with spirit wine."

"You're greedy enough, but my son agreed."

Xu Yuan sneered, and then asked, "But you really plan to cooperate with Sean, why do you want to use what I did last year to stimulate that woman?" ”

Li Yunqing did not hide it, and replied:

"For the sake of intelligence, it can be regarded as to find a way to survive my future failures."

"What do you mean?" Xu Yuan.

Li Yunqing smiled slightly and said in a low voice:

"Although the big-breasted golden retriever princess is very honest, there are many places in the local area where my royal family's shadow guards have caught their spies."

Speaking of this, Li Yunqing grinned: "Thanks to the special looks of these blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, they almost caught one by one." ”

Xu Yuan snorted meaninglessly:

"Hey, spy on the national strength of our Great Yan Dynasty, but this kind of thing shouldn't be hidden for long."

The Great Flame is too big, and the coastline is too long, and there will always be some people who will trade with those people for profit.

Li Yunqing bowed his head slightly:

"So I revealed some to them at this time, which is my first sincerity in working with them, and it can be regarded as a bait."

"Until now, we only have a half-understanding of the Sean Kingdom from the sea, we don't know their cultivation system, and we don't know how much energy the country behind them has, in this regard, they have too much advantage over us."

Xu Yuan listened to these words, thought for a while, and then realized something, and asked:

"You want to judge the strength of the Sean Kingdom through the direction of the war in Dongying?"

"One point, worthy of being the king's confidant."

Li Yunqing gave Xu Yuan a thumbs up, stroked his robe, and said with a smile: "Under the initial raid, the Japanese people in the north were beaten to the point that they lost their armor, and later after the formation of a coalition led by several of the biggest daimyos, they barely maintained the battle line, but they were still being pushed forward by the Kingdom of Xi'en, until they took advantage of the geographical advantage in the area of the Nawangtu River. ”

Xu Yuan touched his chin and asked with a smile:

"But I remember, you just said earlier that it was a clever plan of the Japanese people."

"I don't deny that."

Li Yunqing smiled as a matter of course: "At least, that's how it was at the beginning." ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunqing's words changed, and his eyes became a little gloomy:

"But you have to know that the war over there has been going on for more than a year now."

"You mean reinforcements from the Kingdom of Sean have arrived?"

"There is no relevant intelligence to confirm this, but my judgment is so."

"Reason."

"This king has a fat sheep in Dongying. Ahem, a partner told me that they need ordnance to organize a counteroffensive, and their ordnance needs are even as high as nearly 10 million taels of silver, but this king sent a follow-up question, but the stone sank into the sea. ”

"In other words, the Japanese counterattack has not been effective?" Xu Yuan asked thoughtfully.

Li Yunqing nodded, and his words were solemn:

"Yes, Changtian, you have also seen the real battlefield in the north, if the two sides have equal military strength, will this happen?"

“.”

The words fell silent, and Xu Yuan did not respond.

Because the answer is no.

The warfare of this era is not like the saturation of the previous and modern fronts, and every inch of land is guarded by people on thousands of miles of front.

There are large gaps in the defense line in the vast land, and if you are not careful, you will be outflanked, and the situation on the battlefield can be described as changing rapidly.

It's like when the barbarian king raided the northern city after going around.

Other words

"Is the Kingdom of Sean deliberately preserving its strength and keeping the Japanese people?"

"Not necessarily."

Li Yunqing denied Xu Yuan's question with a smile, and said softly: "This king inferred through the available information that even after more than a year of war supplementation, the strength of the Xi'en people on Dongying Island should have surpassed the Japanese by a lot, but there is a high probability that they do not have the ability to completely end the war in a short time. ”

Xu Yuan looked at the people coming and going below the flowery streets:

"In other words, the Kingdom of Sean is now waiting for my Great Yan's attitude?"

"It can be said to be wait-and-see, or it can be said to be paralyzed."

“.”

After a brief conversation with Li Yunqing, Xu Yuan probably figured out the general situation on Dongying's side.

When the Kingdom of Nasien invaded Dongying, the momentum was like a bamboo, and when they were happily waiting for a wave of reinforcements to completely occupy the island country, they suddenly found a behemoth lying next to them silently staring at them.

Wide-eyed staring.

It's embarrassing.

It's not to fight, it's not to fight.

After all, Dayan is very close to Dongying.

Don't fight, there is already a sunk cost, and all the previous efforts have to be wasted, and I can't explain to the country.

But if you continue to fight, if you advance too fast, if you arouse the vigilance of the Great Yan Dynasty and directly push them back into the sea, then the loss will be even greater.

They even had to consider whether this contact would cause this giant beast to peep into their homeland in the future.

Under all kinds of observations, the person in charge of the Sien royal family in Dongying made a delaying strategy.

Wait until everything is clear before making plans.

Now Li Yunqing has informed Yu Ao Lunli of part of Dayan's national strength, and the news is transmitted back to Dongying Island, which will inevitably make the other party even more jealous.

It's just this delay

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked at the north and sighed softly:

"If this kingdom of Sean were a few decades late, everything would be much easier to deal with."

"Indeed."

Li Yunqing nodded, and said with a smile: "The current situation is a bit of a wolf, and the two sides are afraid, if you wait until those Xi'en people thoroughly understand the situation in my Dayan's country, you should be able to completely let go of your hands and feet." ”

Speaking of which,

Li Yunqing tilted his head suddenly, and said with a smile:

"Changtian, you said earlier that you planned to sponsor me to go to Dongying, can you talk to this king?"

The perennial mastery of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce has indeed allowed him to make a lot of money and water, and he has a small treasury of considerable size, but if he wants to implement his plan on Dongying Island, it is still far from enough.

Xu Yuan glanced at him and shook his head slightly:

"After what you said, I changed my mind."

Li Yunqing's face turned dark when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice:

"Xu Changtian, it's a bit unkind for you to do this, but this king will tell you everything he knows!"

Xu Yuan glanced at him coldly and said in a low voice:

"What are you anxious about? It's not like I'm not going to invest in you. ”

"Huh?"

With a light doubt, Li Yunqing laughed as if his face had changed, licking his face and approaching:

"Hehe, Yunqing, I knew that brother, you wouldn't leave me alone."

“.”

The corners of Xu Yuan's eyes jumped, and he silently moved a step to the left.

Seeing this, Li Yunqing didn't see it, he also took a step to the left and rubbed his hands:

"Changtian, how are you going to invest in my brother and me?"

Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yunqing and spit out two words softly:

"Borrowed soldiers."

Li Yunqing's pupils shrank, and then his brows furrowed:

"Borrowed soldiers? The situation of your Prime Minister's Mansion should not be much better than that of our royal family, just the things in the Great Yan Territory are enough for the Xiangguo Lord to have a headache, where did you lend me the Black Scale Army? ”

Xu Yuan looked at the north and smiled softly:

"Who told you that the borrowing of soldiers in my mouth is to borrow the Black Scale Army with you?

"Who told you that Ben Gongzi doesn't have his own army in his hands?"
