Although Du Xingyan and others were ready to rush in to save people, they still did not give up their efforts to solve the problem through negotiation, and Zhuo Yi's patience from beginning to end in the negotiation, as well as the negotiation style of paying close attention to details one by one, showed the sincerity of the other party, so that they still had hope of success.

After many repeated adjustments, they mainly put forward the following requirements:

The first is to open the gates of the city and the sergeants of each battalion to return to the camp immediately; second, to unseal the Yuanfu Palace and the Xuantan Palace, and return the Taoist property; third, to release Zhao Zhiran, Li Dayin, and related personnel; fourth, to immediately restart the cultivation ball contest and sell the cultivation lottery ticket; fifth, to immediately restore the normal operation of the editorial department of "Inside and Outside the Imperial City"; sixth, to punish those directly responsible in the three palaces; seventh, the three palaces to collectively hold a Jiao ceremony, to ask the Taoist for their sins, and publicly repent; and eighth, to immediately start the construction of the Yingtian Yangtze River Bridge.

Zhuo Yi said that the first and second articles can be considered, the third, fourth and fifth are unacceptable, the sixth and seventh articles are impossible, and the eighth article needs to be re-estimated.

The two sides kept arguing, Du Xingyan and the others commanded the monks to shout and put pressure on the upper three palaces, while Chen Yin beckoned the soldiers to raise their blades from time to time in the rear to stop the monks from pressing forward step by step.

When he came back to discuss, Sima Zhifu suggested: "Maybe we can consider giving up the third and fifth requirements in exchange for the fourth demand." ”

Mo Buping and Zhao Guyu resolutely opposed: "These two articles must not be abandoned! Without Abbot Zhao and the envoy of the Li Academy, where would there be today's cultivation balls? If we agree to exchange such a humiliating price for the resumption of the cultivation ball game, such a cultivation ball will lose its value of inspiring, infecting, and inspiring people, and it will be meaningless to play such a ball game again!"

Du Xingyan and Gu Suiyuan also shook their heads and vetoed: "The cultivation ball lottery without Abbot Zhao and the envoy of the Li Yuan is unacceptable, who will control the sale of the lottery ticket? Sima, is it you? Or are you Zhang Tengming? Very good, no, can it be said that it will be given to the upper third palace? Do you believe them?"

Zhang Tengming pulled Sima Zhifu, who was not convinced, and said, "It's impossible not to let one step, so what do you suggest?"

Du Xingyan said: "Article 7 can not be mentioned, whether or not to do a fast and repent, this should have been a matter decided by the True Master Hall, maybe after the Daomen put down the rebellion, these thieves will not be able to repent if they want to!"

Zhang Tengming interjected and asked: "Who proposed the eighth bridge repair?"

Everyone thought about it, and couldn't remember who was the first to shout this slogan, so they all felt that this article could be taken down Abbot Zhao If everything is fine, there is no problem in repairing the bridge, if there is no him, it can't be built if he wants to.

Changing the eight to six, Du Xingyan and Mo Buping came to the opposite side again and asked to meet Zhuo Yi, this time, Sima Zhifu was no longer willing to "sit in command", and hurriedly followed.

There are also more people in the upper three palaces, in addition to the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhuoyi just now, there are also people from the Lingji Palace.

Mo Buping asked: "Who is this? Who of you have the final say? What about Chen Yin, why didn't he come?"

Zhuo Yi shouted: "Shut up, Commander Chen's name is also easy for you to call?"

Mo Buping was furious: "Zhuo Yixiaoer, you are an ordinary man, but you are just a dog in the Jinyi Guard!

The Xiaoyao Daoist said coldly on the side: "Mo Buping, I heard that you threatened Zhuo Qianhu's family members when you negotiated just now? You also need to know where the Mo Family Villa is, and I will also be clear when I go to the Third Palace!"

Sima Zhifu asked: "But I don't know who Your Excellency is? Where is Xianxiang? Which senior is in charge of the family? I am Maoshan Sima Zhifu, and I live in Yuanfu Wanning Pavilion, do you want to come to me too?"

Du Xingyan said with a smile: "I have heard that the three major merry people of Lingji Palace, watching the clouds and spring breeze, the first two have just been executed by the True Master Hall, but I don't know how Master Xiaoyao feels?"

Xiaoyao Daoist rolled his eyes: "Du Xingyan, you and I have suffered Zhao Zhiran's losses back then, I have worked hard to improve the poor road, and I am thinking about how to get the field back, but what you think about is kowtowing and begging for mercy in the past, and boasting about what you say about the friends of Junshan, it is really shameless!"

Du Xingyan took a deep breath and said: "You have no chance to experience the benefits of Junshan, so why bother to say sour things here? Lin Zhibin, in a few days, you will definitely be able to learn from the masters! We will not engage in a dispute of words today, these are our six propositions after discussion, and we have made huge concessions compared to before. You go and show it to Chen Yin, he knows. ”

The Xiaoyao Daoist did not pick up Du Xingyan's letter, but nodded to Zhuo Yi, and Zhuo Yi also took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms, and after unfolding it, it was covered with a jade seal.

Zhuo Yi shouted: "Take the holy decree!" He read it out on the spot, and after reading it, the carefree Taoist continued: "I tell you clearly, I came today, not to discuss the conditions with you, and the six propositions you have drawn up are really ridiculous and meaningless! You listen well, it is the two wills, the first one, immediately disperse the people, a stick of incense within a limited time, come to someone, light incense! Second, today's matter, someone needs to come out to explain, I don't care who it is, I want someone to take the blame, no less than five! Do you understand?"

Sima Zhifu's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiaoyao Dao and Zhuo Yi incredulously: "You two are crazy!"

Zhuo Yi said in a loud voice: "The imperial court has its own imperial court law, how can it be possible not to punish severely? This is already Your Majesty's mercy." ”

Mo Buping laughed angrily: "Where is Your Majesty? Zhuo Yi, you answer me! Is it Your Majesty who is under house arrest in the palace, or is it the crown prince you support in the Taimiao? What kind of court are you? Which Majesty are you loyal to? Haha......

Du Xingyan pulled everyone back and told the results, and everyone scolded. At that moment, a few monks drummed up their true qi and made the conditions on the opposite side public, and there was a sudden uproar.

Du Xingyan and the others immediately discussed what to do next, really organize everyone to rush into the opposite military formation? Or is there another way to save people?

In the end, everyone's eyes looked at Du Xingyan, he was a Jindan monk, a disciple of the Du family of the Xuanmen Authentic Lingxu Pavilion, and a famous writer and the leader of the Jindan group of the Cultivation Ball Competition.

Du Xingyan finally made up his mind, prepared to activate the internal response, rushed in with everyone, and rescued Zhao Ran and Li Dayin first. He didn't know who Nei Ying was, and was about to throw three fire talismans into the sky as agreed, when he suddenly heard someone in the military formation opposite shouting an order: "The time limit has arrived!"

Suddenly, a row of feathered arrows rose from the formation, and in the blink of an eye, they fell with a whizz.

In the midst of an exclamation, more than 20 people were shot down on the spot.
