Chapter XXII

After five days of preparation, today I finally had to see Suroika's envoy and fight with them about the ownership of the three million acres of land, Mrs. Qingning had not been so nervous for a long time, she had almost not slept all night, and got up early to make all the preparations.

In the past five days, Ling Tian has been on the small bed of the Ministry of Political Science and Law, freshening up and eating extremely casually, and only taking a nap when he can't hold it anymore, he doesn't dare to sleep, for fear that the little time he closes his eyes will miss the key information that determines the ownership of these territories.

Before the sun rose, Mrs. had put on a lot of makeup, changed into the dress that Yuyang designed for her and came to the house, Yun Shen leaned his head and slept on the chair next to the desk, some of the civil officials on the side were working hard to write, some were resting on the table, Ling Tian was sitting in front of the window, his eyes were wide, and he was still looking at the thick file in his hand, and his eyes were already red.

The lady walked up to Ling Tian and did not ask her son if it was hard, but only asked him: "There are less than three hours, are you sure?" ”

Ling Tian didn't look at her and nodded. Madame understands that her four sons, Ji Lingtian, never let her down.

She returned to the main hall and asked the maid beside her, "How is the night wind?" ”

"I haven't slept all night, and I'm taking a nap in the back room at this moment, do you want to wake up Lord Night Breeze?"

"No, let him rest a little longer, and then talk about it when the time is near."

The sky was getting brighter, and there was still half an hour before the pilgrimage was about to begin, and the night breeze had already gotten up to get dressed and prepared, and Yun Shen had already set off an hour ago, and went to the embassy as a representative of his wife to greet Suroika's envoy.

The waiters and maids of Yayu City were also busy, and all the dossier materials began to be transported by them one after another to the place of negotiation - Ye Gui Palace, Ling Tian sat next to his wife, still looking at the last file at hand, and after changing his clothes, he walked out of the inner room, and after saluting with his wife, he set off with his wife to Ye Gui Palace.

At this time, Yuyang was already standing in the square outside the Ye Gui Palace, her official rank was not high, she only stood close to the city gate, everything in the distance could only be seen approximately, listening to the faint sound of drums, and the voice of the messenger who stood on a high place repeating the speech of the official and the king. I thought I could catch a glimpse of His Majesty's face, but when I came, I realized that she couldn't even see Ye Guidian, but even so, she still cautiously abided by her rules as an official of the Inner Dynasty, but she was still wondering in her heart, why did she encounter that strange white shadow when she entered the city gate just now, why did she have the illusion of being penetrated by the white shadow?

While thinking about this, a group of envoys wearing Suroika's costumes came to her side, and the special representative of the lady, Ji Yunshen, walked side by side with the envoy led by Suroika, the leading messenger was old and slow, Yunshen cooperated with his pace, and solemnly led them towards Ye Guidian.

Yu Yang saw this legendary "gentleman" Ji Yunshen for the first time - I saw him wearing a silk dark blue court dress, the tall figure and steady and decent pace made the hem of the court dress swing smoothly and lightly, he had a light and free light brown short hair, so transparent hair was blown up by the breeze A few strands, swept over his pair of mirror-like translucent light brown eyes, under the light brown transparent eyelashes is a pair of Danfeng eyes without a smile, the white skin is clear and crystal clear in the sun, like a jade carving statue as fascinating, And the grim face seemed even more intimate.

When Ji Yunshen passed by Yu Yang's side, Yu Yang felt as if he was looking at him, and it seemed to be just an illusion. Under the gaze of his ministers, he led the envoys of the neighboring countries to the place where the supreme power of the Wanting Kingdom was represented - Ye Gui Palace.

When they walked away, the officials around Yuyang whispered to discuss:

"It turns out that the matter with the border with Suroika is to be negotiated today?"

"yes, don't you know? Mrs. Qingning took Lord Yunshen and Lord Ling Tian and never left the Ministry of Political and Legal Affairs for five days, and I heard that Lord Ling Tian didn't sleep much, and she has been making every effort to prepare. ”

"This ...... Although Lord Ling Tian is an unforgettable genius, but it may be too reluctant to work so hard? ”

"Hey, I just hope today's result will be as you wish......"

Hearing their conversation, Yu Yang knew for the first time that the fourth young master with a strange name actually had such an admirable side, and at this time, she suddenly remembered that the administrator of the Yu Pavilion had disappeared for five days, and everything seemed to make sense.

The administrator of the Yu Pavilion was in charge of the management of the library materials in Ruian City, so naturally he had to assist the fourth young master in preparing at this time, so it seemed very reasonable not to see him. After justifying herself, Yu Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at her cranky thoughts in the past few days.

On the Ye Gui Palace, Mrs. Qing Ning and a group of main officials of the Ministry of Political Science and Law sat on one side, while Ling Tian was in the side hall of Ye Gui Palace, listening to the conversations outside at any time, and finding the most powerful evidence to refute for everyone. Yun Shen sat beside his wife, and the night breeze was not present, but he was still standing beside King Nuojia Hewu in a white military uniform.

After saluting the king one by one, the envoys of Suroika sat in their positions, looking relaxed, and did not have the slightest intention of compromising today, just sat down, and before the lady could speak, the leading envoy spoke with a fairly standard accent, and said to the king sitting on the top of the palace in the Wanting dialect: "Suroika is thousands of miles away from here, and it is not easy for our group to come here. ”

Nuojia Hewu glanced at Qing Ning, who was sitting in His Highness, then looked at the messenger, and returned: "Listen up." ”

The envoy also looked at Qingning, then at Nuojia Hewu, raised his voice and said: "Your princess Changqin is the princess of my King Suroika, that is, the future Queen Suroika, we are a family, and the prince hopes that he will not hurt the harmony of the family for the sake of a worthless and barbaric land." ”

Mrs. Qingning immediately heard the meaning of the messenger's words, her most beloved daughter Ji Changqin married Prince Junlisi of the prince of Suroika, which has always been her most difficult to let go of the knot in her heart, when Princess Changqin fell in love with him at first sight, Qingning had no choice but to agree to Changqin's request, this matter is well known, and it has become the handle of those people who unscrupulously oppress Wanting, and now the messenger of Suroika knows that today is a vicious battle, and still has no reservations to strike at Mrs. Qingning's most fatal weakness - her daughter Princess Changqin.

However, Mrs. Qingning was not an impatient person, and she was relieved to hear these words, and the Suroika envoy played the trump card at the beginning, withstanding this attack, and then had no scruples. Mrs. Qingning did not answer according to the envoy's words, but smiled faintly, leaned back in the chair a little, and said unhurriedly: "In this way, I would like to thank the envoys and Prince Lisi for giving the land of Suroika to Wanting." ”

The messenger was puzzled, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask with a smile: "I don't know...... Why did Mrs. Qingning say this? ”

At this time, Ji Lanhai, the second son of Mrs. Qingning, who was also in the hall, sneered, and then attracted the laughter of all the Wanting officials in the hall.

The Suroika envoy looked around, only to feel that the smile was ill-intentioned, and could not help but frown. Mrs. Qingning still smiled faintly and answered their doubts: "Since you say that we are a family, don't hurt the harmony of the family for the sake of a worthless and barbaric land, the country of Suroika is far less pleasant and rich than my Wanting country, if it is really as His Royal Highness the prince said, does it mean that we want the worthless and barbaric country of Suroika, it is not impossible?" ”

The ...... envoy was speechless, but he did not want to show timidity, he only thought for a while and then continued, "Madame said this, but you have lost your noble status, and the marriage between the two countries is the boundary between countries first, and then the connection between families......

Without waiting for the envoy of Suroika to finish speaking, Yun Shen raised his voice and asked, "Since the envoy of your country understands the truth of the boundary between countries, why did you occupy my three million acres of land for fifteen years?!" ”

The Suroika envoy did not budge, leaned forward, raised his voice in a higher voice, and asked rhetorically in Suroika: "Then how can your country prove that the so-called three million acres of land are not the ownership rights you fabricated out of thin air?" What is the evidence? What are the instruments? Who is the witness?! ”

After the envoy's rhetorical question, the interpreter in the Ye Gui Hall hurriedly translated to everyone, Yun Shen naturally understood the Suroika language, and with the time of the translation, Yun Shen had already thought about how to reply to the messenger's question, but the messenger ignored the interpreter's statement, and rushed to start the narrative before Yun Shen was about to speak, while speaking, he got up from the seat and walked to the center of the hall, still saying in Suroika: "In the year 178 of Suroika, that is, in 1765 of the Wanting year, the holy religious practitioners of our country traveled far away for missionary work, For the first time, a desert was discovered on the eastern border, and the heat and drought almost killed him, but he still insisted on crossing the desert, and after returning to the capital, he reported the discovery to the then king Touro VI, who named the desert after the Dharma name of the walker, called the Ou Weng Desert, which was the first record of the Ou Weng Desert on this continent, and now our country still collects the cloak that Ou Weng wore when he crossed the desert, and the descendants of Ou Weng testify to this history. No matter how much your country says it, the Ouon Desert will always be an integral part of our Suroika! ”

While the envoy spoke, Yun Shen's subordinates had already asked the map of the disputed boundary to be displayed on the temple, and he walked to the side of the map, waiting for the envoy to finish, and without waiting for the interpreter to immediately follow his words, he said in fluent and calm Suroika: "Indeed, the Ou Weng Desert, that is, the desert area called the Wuman Basin in my Wanting Country, we do not deny the history of your country being the first to successfully cross the desert, but this desert is vast, and in the long history of our country, we have always owned four hundred and sixty-seven acres of land east of the desert, It is true that the part west of the border belongs to your country, but I hope that the envoy will recognize the reality and not do some language games that change concepts and cannot be put on the stage! Now it is not the so-called Ou Weng Desert that is discussed, nor is it the Wuman Basin of our country, but your country has invaded more than 300 acres of land in the desert area of the Wuman Basin, which should belong to our country! Yun Shen said this, slapping the cloth map fiercely, with unquestionable majesty and a hint of anger in his tone.

Because the Suroika envoy broke the established rules, the interpreter could only speak to the crowd at his own pace, as little as possible to be disturbed by them while taking note of what they said, and Yun Shen had to listen to the other party's arguments in the jumble of statements.

Although Yun Shen was strong, the envoy did not want to be left behind, he walked straight to the map, and said while gesturing: "There is no so-called Wuman Basin Desert area, the entire Ouong Desert belongs to our Suroika, this is a fact that has been established since the beginning of 178 years in our country!" And your country is the real aggressor, using the name of the so-called Wuman Basin desert area, to rob me of a third of the area of the Ou Weng Desert, and these three million acres belong to Suroika! ”

Not to be outdone, Yun Shen raised his hand and raised an ancient book and said: "This is the original volume of the territory map of our country in 1546, and we can see that the desert part of the Wuman Basin is clearly divided within our territory!" ”

"The year 1546 of your country?" The envoy stopped speaking, changed to Wanting, looked up at Yun Shen with a victorious attitude, and said with a chuckle, "Suroika has not yet been founded, what is the use of this picture?" ”

After speaking, the envoy turned to look at King He Wu, the corners of his mouth were still raised, and said, "King Wanting, do you say yes?" ”

He Wu didn't speak, his palms clutching the armrest of the throne tightly, trying to make himself appear calm. Yun Shen saw that the envoy was going to provoke His Majesty the King, and hurriedly stepped forward and said to the envoy: "Even so, this does not prove the demarcation of the national border!" In the long history of my Wanting, the desert part of the Wuman Basin has been clearly divided within the territory of our country! ”

"Really? Is there a proof of the border that I, Suroika, recognize?! The messenger continued to retort without admitting defeat.

The pace of the argument is getting faster and faster, and both Yunshen and the messenger can attack each other's vital points at the first time, and both sides are arguing according to their own positions, and they can't hold each other.

When everyone looked at Yun Shen and the envoy, Mrs. Qingning's eyes did not leave the white-haired old envoy who was sitting in the middle of the seat not far in front of her, and the old envoy was the same, smiling, only staring at Mrs. Qingning.

Just as the argument was turning into a quarrel, the old messenger stood up and raised his hand to stop the Suroika envoy, who was speaking fiercely......
