On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, it was unusually quiet because of the snow.

On this quiet night, in the snow outside the city, there was a sound of horses' hooves trampling on the snow, and on horseback, carrying a gloomy face and a cold stream dressed in black night clothes.

It turned out that Leng Xi had already made up his mind to cooperate with the people of Beihai, and he seemed to realize that this was the only way for him to succeed.

Therefore, after coming out of the palace, he found Yu Shiming and showed that he was willing to cooperate with the people of Beihai, and Yu Shiming told him where Teng Gexiang lived.

He didn't have time to rest, and he didn't have time to go back to Xiwangfu to accompany his wife and children for the New Year, so he rode on a horse, and came to the outside of the city non-stop.

The silent night was disturbed by the sound of his horses' hooves, and the cold winter wind blew a chill in his heart.

He knew that his trip was a road of no return, but he still felt that he had to take this road, because he had no choice.

Perhaps knowing that he would come, Teng Gexiang had already ordered someone to wait at the entrance of the village.

When his horse stopped, before he could speak, the man came forward and said:

"Please follow me."

Leng Xi couldn't help but be a little surprised, did this person from the Beihai Kingdom already guess that he would come?

He followed the man to the door where Teng Gexiang was, and after the man knocked on the door a few times, there was an echo in the room, and he pushed the door open and motioned for him to enter.

He nodded to the man, then lifted his foot, and with a heavy heart, crossed the threshold from which he had no way back.

After entering the door, looking at the two people sitting on the kang, he said with a stunned face:

"Master Wu?"

Wu Yuanzhang waved his hand calmly,

"Lord Xi, don't come unharmed."

Although Leng Xi had already learned from Yu Shiming's mouth that this line with Beihai Kingdom was led by Wu Yuanzhang, he did not expect that Wu Yuanzhang would dare to come to Daning Kingdom.

Seeing that he was a little surprised, Wu Yuanzhang introduced calmly:

"Lord Xi, this is the king of Beihai Kingdom, he personally came to talk to King Xi about peace, it can be seen that Beihai Kingdom is sincere in this matter, Lord Xi, you have to be cautious!"

Leng Xi looked at the slightly older man with a beard in front of him, looked up and down, and said with his fists hugged:

"Since the king has this sincerity, I, Leng Xi, will also take it seriously, but I don't know, how can the king help me? What am I going to do? ”

Teng Gexiang looked at Leng Xi with his sharp eyes, and then waved his hand and said:

"Lord Xi, since you're here, you're welcome, sit down and say something if you have something to say."

Leng Xi flicked the hem of his clothes lightly and sat opposite them, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, and after a long silence, he couldn't help but say coldly:

"Today is the New Year, and this king has to go back to accompany his wife and children for the New Year, so we might as well get straight to the point."

For this king of the Beihai Kingdom, who looked a little cold, Leng Xi didn't have much affection.

Probably because he has never been snubbed by others.

"Hahaha!"

I Gexiang suddenly raised his head and laughed, and then said:

"Lord Xi wants to go back to his house to accompany his wife and children for the New Year? And what about Ben Wang? This king also has a wife and children, but this king has come all the way, and when he goes back, the spring flowers have bloomed, where is there a new year? ”

The corners of Leng Xi's mouth rose upward, and he looked at him with disdain,

"The king didn't come for me Lengxi alone!"

I Gexiang nodded without hesitation,

"You're right, this king is naturally not here for you alone, but seeing you, you are also on this trip, since you are here, let's not go around the bend here, let's get straight to the point!"

After saying this, he glanced at Wu Yuanzhang and continued:

"Wu Guoshi has been coming to my Beihai Kingdom for more than ten years, he knows the temper of this king best, this king talks and does things, he doesn't like to procrastinate, I invite you to come today, I want to cooperate with you, so that we can benefit each other, if you agree, do as I say, if you don't agree, we can discuss again."

Leng Xi had already heard Yu Shiming mention that Wu Yuanzhang went to Beihai Kingdom, but he didn't expect that he had already achieved the position of a national teacher in Beihai Kingdom, it seems that this Wu Yuanzhang is really a not simple character.

He nodded with a cold look in his eyes,

"Tell me about it."

The corners of Teng Gexiang's mouth rose proudly, and he said calmly:

"The national strength of my Beihai country is far above your Daning country, over the years, the Beihai country has successively recovered some small border countries, and now it is ready to unify the countries, if you are willing to cooperate with us, I promise you, after the matter is completed, the emperor of the Daning country is still up to you, but, at that time, the Daning country is no longer an independent small country, but part of the Beihai country, you also have to pay taxes to the Beihai country on time, and pay tribute to the king every year...... ”

"Ridiculous ......"

Before Teng Gexiang's words were finished, Leng Xi stood up angrily, flicked his sleeves, and scolded loudly:

"My Daning Kingdom has always been a country of independence, even if your Beihai Kingdom is strong, these years, you don't dare to attack easily, but now you are asking my Daning Kingdom to belong to your Beihai Kingdom, this is simply whimsical, I will not agree to this request, it's a big deal that I Lengxi won't fight for this throne, you don't have to be delusional."

Seeing that Leng Xi was angry, Wu Yuanzhang was busy raising his hand and pressing down,

"Lord Xi is angry, he wants to make a big deal, it's not who has a high voice, who is powerful, don't you see the situation in Daning Kingdom now? If you alone want to sit in the position of the emperor, it is simply delusional, besides, the emperor has read out the canonization decree today, the eighteenth day of the first month, Leng Yu will ascend the throne as the emperor, and when he sits on the throne, if you want to turn the sky upside down, it will be a rebellion, which will be spurned by all the people, therefore, your effective time is only eighteen days, you have to think about it yourself, whether to agree to our king's request. ”

Wu Yuanzhang's words made Leng Xi fall into deep thought.

Eighteen days? Is it so easy to achieve great things?

Seeing that he was hesitating there, Teng Gexiang continued to taunt:

"This king knows that today is the day when you plan to start a war, but I didn't expect that your plan was seen through by Leng Yu, and the plan you arranged collapsed in an instant, do you know why this happened? Trapped because you have not been on the battlefield, have not participated in the war, will not deploy, and do not have a capable assistant by your side to be your military advisor, no back strength of the person, just like the duckweed floating on the sea, there is no purpose, there is no way out, in the end, can only sink into the sea, if you cooperate with this king, this king will be your strong backing, after the thing is done, you Daning Kingdom, only need to pay some tribute to Beihai Kingdom every year, this is just a drop in the bucket for the vast Daning Kingdom, you Xi Wang Ye will not be so stingy, right? ”

The words of the two of them made Leng Xi feel a little chill down his spine, how could they know so clearly what had just happened in the palace? Could it be that there are their eyeliners in this palace?
