Chapter 43: Brother and Sister Go into Battle
After settling down, the two began to discuss peace talks with Han Jun.
It's about discussion, but it's actually accountability.
Hua Rong Xiu originally suspected Han Jun of taking bribes, but Wen Ling questioned this, and instead instructed Hua Rong Xiu to lead the matter to King Ping.
And Han Jun's words are not leaky, except for a lot of maintenance of King Ping, there are no other loopholes.
As for the reason for changing the conditions of the peace talks, he bit it to death because the prince of Yue Guo said, "Either let him enter the hostage, or continue to fight, and everyone will die." ”
But the reason for the peace talks is because no one can afford to fight.
Yue Guo wants to burn all the jade, but Da Qian doesn't want to.
In the end, he didn't ask anything useful, so Hua Rongxiu had to let him go back.
"At best, he is incompetent, and he cannot be convicted of treason, but it is indeed strange that the person in charge of the peace talks wants to send him as a hostage." After Han Jun left, Hua Rongxiu said.
Wen Ling stood in front of the window, this room was directly opposite Yue Qingci's room, "Maybe there is some reason for him to go, and this reason is what we have to figure out on this trip, as long as we know what the other party desires the most and fears the most, we can easily hold him." ”
The Yue State harassed the border all the year round, and the hatred of the people of Pingliang City towards the Yue people was also increasing day by day. The prince of Yue Guo was not allowed to bring guards when he stayed in Pingliang City, so it was the county government soldiers who were responsible for guarding and protecting the inn.
If there were no these government soldiers, I am afraid that Yue Qingci would have been torn to pieces by the people of Pingliang City.
In this way, there were still people throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the door of the inn.
Sometimes the head is not good at throwing it, and it can be thrown on the body of the government soldiers.
The soldiers of this county are all locals, and they also know the grievances of the people. So even if it's thrown away occasionally, it's not good to worry about the neighbors, just go back and change your clothes.
Today, it may be that everyone knows that the inspector came from Shangjing, and he has aroused resentment again, and he threw more than usual. Several government soldiers have already gone back to change their clothes, and if they change again, there will be no one to guard them.
The forbidden army of the inn opposite kindly came to help guard, and several government soldiers thanked them again and again, and left first.
On the second floor of the inn, Yue Qingci's room pushed the door and came in a big man, wearing the uniform and armor of the forbidden army, and closed the door as soon as he entered.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." The man saluted Yue Qing, who was standing by the window and enjoying the view.
Yue Qingci still looked out the window and said, "What is useful to detect?" ”
The man replied: "No, a few of us have been trying to find a way to infiltrate the harem, but the forbidden army has recently changed its commander, and the management is stricter than before, so we really can't find a chance, let alone bring people out." ”
Yue Qingci sighed lightly and said, "It's okay, I didn't want to rely on a few of you to make things happen, it's good not to reveal your identity." ”
"That's not true, the new commander has a lot of trust in us after taking office, this time to escort the inspector, thanks to him choosing a few of us, otherwise his subordinates will not have a chance to see you."
Yue Qingci turned around and said to the big man who was kneeling on one knee: "You said he selected all of you into the escort list this time?" ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, this ...... Is there anything wrong? ”
Yue Qingci stood with his backlight, and the big man couldn't see his expression clearly, so he only heard his usual calm voice say, "You guys are exposed." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of hurried and regular footsteps and armor sounded outside, and the door of the room was kicked open.
Dozens of forbidden soldiers surrounded this room, and Wen Chuan stood in the middle of it and ordered: "Give me the details of this Yue Kingdom!" ”
The big man was immediately restrained by several forbidden soldiers, and he was tied up.
Wen Chuan said: "Prince Yue, long time no see." ”
Many years ago, when Wen Chuan went on the expedition with his father, he had met this prince.
It was winter, and he sat in a chariot wrapped in a thick blanket with several servants around him. Just commanding the battle with a sigh of relief, and almost let them rout.
After that, the two fought a few times, and although Wen Chuan never lost, he also knew that Daqian had too much advantage in numbers.
He was still dressed in the same thick clothes as before, as if his clothes were heavier than a man.
There was a coldness in his mouth, "General Wen is okay." ”
"Thanks to the Prince."
The two exchanged pleasantries casually, and as soon as Wen Chuan waved his hand, the fine work was taken down.
"It is worthy of being trained by Prince Yue, he is a man, and he doesn't beg for mercy." Wen Chuan looked approving.
Yue Qingci said indifferently: "Begging for mercy, will General Wen let him go?" ”
Wen Chuan said good-naturedly: "Eh~ If he doesn't try, how do you know?" ”
Yue Qing said: "Then if it is General Wen, will he beg for mercy?" ”
"The prince is insulting me? If it were me, how could I be stupid enough to reveal my identity? ”
It seems to be annoyed, but in fact he is scolding, Yue Qingci doesn't want to continue this meaningless conversation, "If General Wen wants to arrest people, he can arrest them in Shangjing, you don't have to wait until you get here to arrest them, presumably General Wen didn't come here today just to arrest people, right?" ”
"Prince Yue is still as witty as before, and the inspector makes the adult's scholar want to see you."
Wen Ling walked out from behind the crowd, and Wen Chuan stepped back and closed the door, leaving only the two of them and a eunuch beside Yue Qingci in the room.
This was the first time Wen Ling had seen Yue Qingci.
He stood there as pale as a sick beauty, cloaked in a cloak of silver rat ash. I don't know if it was pressed by the layers of clothes on my body, or if it was originally blown by the wind.
He looked at Wen Ling with a calm gaze, and covered the scrutiny in his eyes with excellent upbringing.
Wen Ling smiled lightly, she has long been accustomed to being collected like this from the era of big data, so let's treat him as a good-looking AI.
She walked to the table, sat down calmly, and stretched out her hand to invite, "Prince Yue, please take a seat." ”
Yue Qingci sat down with the help of the eunuch, and the eunuch made hot tea for the two.
"What did the girl do when she saw me?"
Wen Lingben didn't expect his clumsy female disguise to fool his eyes, "What Prince Yue is here for, I am the reason." ”
She can finally say this unfathomable pretending to be a big guy line!
Yue Qing said: "Since it is for peace talks, it should be to go to the council hall of the government office, not in the inn in private." ”
Emperor Daqian sent a new inspector to come over for peace talks, and he knew about it. But only let people explore the background of the inspector, but ignore this little scholar.
And now it seems that she is by no means as simple as a scholar.
Wen Ling picked up the tea cup, lowered his eyes, blew the tea leaves gently, and said slowly: "Because there are some things that can't be said in front of the clerk in the council hall, I think Prince Yue should know very well." ”
Keep pretending.
The posture should be cool and the tone should be steady.
The corners of Yue Qingci's mouth were slightly hooked, and a smile appeared on her face, "If the girl has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
Wen Ling put down the teacup, raised his eyes and said: "I mean, the peace talks are definitely going to be peace talks, I don't care too much about the deal between the Prince Yue and the Peace King, you won't succeed anyway, I just want to add a detailed rule to the peace talks." ”
Yue Qingci lowered his eyes, his face was expressionless, and he slowly turned the teacup in his hand.
The Peacekeeper's meetings and dealings were private, and he thought he was brilliantly well hidden. But listening to this woman's meaning, if she doesn't know the inside story, she is deceiving him.
He stopped turning the teacup, raised his eyes to Wen Ling and said, "I haven't seen King Ping, and I don't know what the girl meant by the deal, but I really want to know what details the girl wants to add?" ”
Wen Ling crossed his chin with his ten fingers, his eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he said like a cat playing with a mouse: "It's nothing, that is, after Prince Yue enters the quality, he can't live in the harem of Shangjing, but he has to live in the palace of the capital, you can rest assured, there are heavy guards there, and even a fly can't fly in, of course, it is difficult for the people inside to come out." ”
Yue Qingci's fingers holding the teacup froze.
Daqian has Beijing as the capital, Nanjing as the accompanying capital, and the two places are more than 1,000 miles apart.
It seems that the exposure of the identities of those few small works still made them aware of it.
Wen Ling was not in a hurry or impatient, drinking tea slowly, giving him enough time to think.
She was gambling, betting that her and Gong Yehan's analysis at that time was right, and betting that Yue Qingci's original purpose was to enter Daqian's harem. Although she didn't know why, it didn't prevent her from taking a salary.
"But this detailed rule is not indispensable, whether to add it or not, it all depends on you, the prince."
Yue Qing said: "What do you mean by this? ”
"The hatred of the people of Daqian for the Yue Kingdom, presumably the prince has a deep understanding during this time, the prince's entry into such a condition of peace talks can not appease the grievances of the people at all, if the prince is willing to change the conditions of the peace talks to lose money and cede land, then this rule can be changed to Daqian, please enter the Daqian Palace as a guest to observe and study."
This is another deal for Yue Qingci.
But the deal is clearly exclusive.
Yue Qingci replied quietly: "This matter is very important, I need to ask my father to show me, I'm afraid it will take some time." ”
Wen Ling smiled lightly and said, "No problem, three days should be enough time for a carrier pigeon to fly from here to Shangjing and back, right?" ”
She doesn't have much time, she doesn't know how long Xi Xin can help her hide it in the palace, and she doesn't know when Gongye Han will send a message to Wen Chuan to arrest her.
After all, she and Wen Chuan are also fake oracles.
There is always a natural advantage for a sister to cheat on her brother......
Yue Qingci's expression was a little cold.
Wen Ling said again: "Why don't I help the prince save some time, my surname is Wen, my name is Wen Ling, if the prince thinks about it, come to the inn opposite to me." ”
Wen Ling got up to leave, walked to the door and paused again, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, no matter what your purpose is, there is a bloodless way to achieve it, and it must not be the best way to let the lives of the people of the two countries be miserable." ”
The door creaked shut, and the sound of footsteps outside and the sound of armor faded away.
Yue Qingci got up and walked to the window.
Those few small workers were all tied downstairs, and I am afraid that they will not escape death.
He said to the eunuch behind him: "Su Liang, you send a letter to Shangjing Feige, and find out what this woman is." ”
"Yes."
