Ada Khan's soldiers have surrounded the camp. Cheng Geer holds his sword on his waist and protects Ada Khan. Several of Xiao Qin's confidants are also surrounding Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin smiled bitterly and said: "Khan, you and I have been working together for many years, but today we are going to make such a fuss just because of Xiao Feng?"
Ida Khan shook his head: "Mr. Xiao, you know that I have always respected you. Today is not about Xiao Feng, but about you trying to block the mutual trade peace talks.
After several days of fierce fighting, you and I know very well that even if the Ming army cannot stop us from leaving this time, it is already difficult to imagine plundering at will like before.
After years of fighting, the grasslands also need to recuperate and recuperate. This is an excellent opportunity for our Mongolian ministries. I also ask Mr. Xiao not to destroy it intentionally. "
Xiao Qin said calmly: "If I don't remove the poison from Xiao Feng, what will you do? Do you want to kill me?"
An Dahan did have murderous intentions for a moment, but he was a very smart person and immediately realized that falling out with Xiao Qin at this time was definitely not a good choice.
On the one hand, the Tatar army is not out of danger yet, and even if they charge outwards, they still need Xiao Qin's planning ability; on the other hand, Xiao Qin's martial arts is extremely high, and he is so close at this time. If he really takes action, he will be in danger.
The most important thing is that the peace talks have not yet been successful. If internal strife breaks out first, the Ming Dynasty will definitely feel that there is an opportunity and might take the opportunity to lower the price!
So Idahan sighed: "What did Mr. Xiao say? You and I have known each other for many years and respect each other. How could we reach that point? Since Mr. Xiao is determined not to do so, we can only let it go."
He turned to Hu Zongxian: "Your Majesty, I can agree to all the other conditions you mentioned. As long as the mutual market contract can be signed today, we will withdraw immediately and no one will be harmed along the way.
As for Master Xiao, as you have seen, there is nothing I can do. I also hope that your envoy will put the overall situation first and not let the people suffer and live in ruins just for Xiao Feng. "
Hu Zongxian's triangular eyes were filled with anger, but his heart was filled with sadness. Sure enough, Xiao Feng guessed it all. From beginning to end, there is no missing a step.
After suggesting that Qiu Luan and Hu Zongxian serve as the chief and deputy envoys, Xiao Feng repeatedly told Jiajing:
Negotiation of peace is the most important thing, don't get too entangled in your own affairs, Xiao Qin will not agree, he is eager to ruin the peace talks. And the more this is the case, the less we can satisfy him!
Hu Zongxian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "In that case, just sign it, I don't think you dare to wait another two days.
Also, I want to take Mr. Xiao’s embroidered spring knife back. It was a relic of his late father! "
Idahan agreed wholeheartedly, and immediately asked someone to take out the Xiuchundao, and he and Hu Zongxian immediately drafted an apology form and a draft of a mutual trade treaty.
Anda Khan first pressed his fingerprints and sweat seals, and Hu Zongxian also pressed his fingerprints. However, he did not carry the imperial seal with him, so he had to take the things back to the capital to have them sealed.
Seeing that the situation was over and the peace talks could no longer be stopped, Xiao Qin could only smile helplessly and took his confidants back to his tent.
He knew that as soon as he left Daming's checkpoint, he and Anda Khan would probably part ways. At least in the short term, this chariot would no longer charge into battle for him and be stained with blood.
He has to find another one. Fortunately, he has never placed his hope on a tank.
The next morning, Hu Zongxian took the treaty with the good seal and the attachment of the apology form written by Emperor Jiajing to Anda Khan, and the peace talks between the two parties were declared successful.
Jiajing scolded Andahan heartily on Andahan's apology form and let out a fierce breath. Andahan didn't care about this and accepted it calmly.
What you Han people care about is just a little bit of face, but what I care about is real benefits. A few scoldings don't hurt, but I'm afraid of nothing.
The Tatars broke up their camp and raised their troops. Ding Rukui was not reassured by An Dahan's guarantee, and asked Qi Jiguang to lead 10,000 cavalry to follow them from a distance to see if they made any changes. He must follow them outside Gubeikou, and then re-reinforce the defense line at Gubeikou!
Jiajing's unresolved poison against Xiao Feng was strictly kept secret according to Xiao Feng's wishes. Except for Qiu Luan and Hu Zongxian who were going to negotiate peace terms, no other courtiers knew the truth.
It was because Liu Tong got to know Dr. Jing by accident that he learned the truth from that guy who was always loose-mouthed. Qi Jiguang didn't have friends of this level, so naturally he wouldn't know.
Therefore, although Qi Jiguang was a little worried about whether Xiao Feng had fully recovered, he still accepted the order and led his troops to Gubeikou according to his military nature.
As news of the peace talks spread, the people in the capital involuntarily swarmed to the top of the city. People who had not been able to enter the city also ran out and cursed the Tatar cavalry for "farewell".
The Tatar cavalry were quite tolerant. Anyway, the people's farewells were noisy, and they couldn't hear what the greetings were, so they just immersed themselves in marching.
They were also very sad in their hearts. There were 30,000 cavalrymen when they came out this time, but only 12,300 were left when they returned. If the Great Khan had not reached such a major event as a mutual trade at the last moment, it would have been a loss of troops and nothing.
An Dahan even broke into a cold sweat in his heart. He didn't want to fight anymore anyway, so he didn't hesitate to fall out with Xiao Qin for this reason. If he cannot bring back even 10,000 people in the end, then what awaits him is likely to be a rebellion among the various tribes.
By then, it's hard to say whether Xiao Qin will be on his side. An Dahan knew very well that Xiao Qin would definitely be on the winner's side.
If the rebels gain momentum, Xiao Qin will most likely negotiate cooperation with the other party, which will in turn create a setback for himself.
In the Xiao Mansion, it was more lively than outside the city at the moment. Because Xiao Feng held a banquet for more than thirty guests, plus the people in the house, especially the group of children, which took up a lot of space, so the ten large tables were all packed.
An Qingyue also came, with a cloth strap hanging from his right arm, obviously seriously injured. But Xiao Feng told her that she must come, and the banquet would not be held without her.
An Qingyue was in good spirits, and she was still holding the Xiuchundao in her left hand: "This is what the war chief brought over. Let me give it to you. At the same time, let me bring you a message."
Xiao Feng took the Xiuchun Knife with a smile, walked back into the room, and placed it respectfully on the knife holder. He looked back at An Qingyue who followed him: "What are you talking about?"
"Mr. Xiao in the Tatar camp has unfathomable martial arts skills, but his internal skills are very similar to the man we met that night who shot arrows outside the city."
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up. What he had already guessed was almost certain, and with the information provided by Zhan Feiyun, it was almost certain.
Then he smiled bitterly, but it was a pity that he could not solve this matter himself. He took a deep breath and told An Qingyue solemnly.
"Go check out the medicine seller in the capital. His medicine is sometimes called Jinmantuo and sometimes called Paradise Pill. Many dignitaries have bought it.
Remember that after finding out, you must bring more people when arresting, especially Zhan Feiyun and Jin Yiwei. Bring as many as you can.
He is the man who shot arrows outside the city at night. You have learned the skill. If you can't do it, ask Guo Jun to do it. "
An Qingyue stared at him dumbfounded. what's the situation? Is this the case solved? Don’t you even use word testing now?
Seeing her like this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile, then put away his smile and looked at her quietly.
"You should have something else to ask me."
An Qingyue nodded. She had never dared to ask. In fact, she was afraid of getting a definite answer.
"Senior Brother Zhang Wuxin, how is he...how is he?"
Xiao Feng shook his head: "I don't know either, I'm not a god."
An Qingyue understood this and picked up the pen with her left hand. Just as she was about to write, Xiao Feng held her hand down.
"Zhang Wuxin is not you, even if he is, it is his own life. You may not be able to ask for him."
This reminder is very necessary. Xiao Feng has discovered before that the Heavenly Book's word test is most restrictive when it comes to measuring human life.
Not to mention that An Qingyue and Zhang Wuxin were just slightly ambiguous, even if they really became a couple, it might not be possible to test each other's life.
It may not be possible for parents and brothers to test each other's lives. It can be seen that human life is at stake, and it is not just a matter of words, it is determined by freedom.
An Qingyue gritted her teeth, her face tightened, and she thought hard and thought, and finally figured it out. She picked up a pen and wrote a big word: "Marriage"!
"Can I still get married in this life? This is my own business!"
Beautiful! ! ! Xiao Feng almost applauded An Qingyue!
To be honest, Xiao Feng didn't even think that he could ask this question just now. He thought of several ways for An Qingyue to ask the question, but none of them were as good as this!
An Qingyue obviously made a vow in her heart that she would not marry Zhang Wuxin.
Then she was testing whether she could get married. Although the test was definitely her own business, it was actually testing whether Zhang Wuxin was still alive and whether he could return safely!
Xiao Feng stopped talking nonsense, picked up the piece of paper, and stared at the word "marriage" on it. He felt that he had never been so focused and devoted his efforts as he was now. Even the time when he was forced to test the word, he couldn't compare!
Outside, Zhang Tianci was arranging the guests to sit down. Because there were so many people, he did not use the Xiao Mansion's kitchen. Instead, he cooked the food in Zuixian Tower and sent the food boxes to Xiao Mansion in a carriage.
Lan Dail and Lan Niang served delicious food in a stream, and the children jumped and made noisy noises in the dining room. From time to time, they were mixed with the old man's scolding and the eldest sister Tou Xiaodong's threats.
The room was as quiet as an empty mountain outside the world, as if the noise was far away, separated by a layer of mist.
Until Xiao Feng's voice broke the silence.
"The word "marriage" means a woman on the left and a woman on the right. Just looking at its appearance, it means that a woman is a woman who is ignorant. Even if you manage to get married, you will be considered stupid.
but……"
Some people died, but not completely...
