Hearing Meng Yan's sophistry, the female face showed displeasure. She snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Meng, in addition to having consistent interests, there is also a basic condition for cooperation."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"Be honest."
Meng Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Candid? May I ask, Prime Minister, I... why can't you be honest?"
Recalling Meng Yan's impassioned speech that day, the female prime minister suddenly felt funny. She did not hide her inner disdain at all and said disdainfully: "Brother, I'm afraid you don't really want to protect the Lord by going to such great lengths to welcome the prince back to the country." Bar?"
'boom--'
Hearing this, Meng Yan placed the wine glass heavily on the table, letting the wine in the glass spill out, and the anger in his heart was beyond words.
"Why are you angry, sir?"
"What do you mean, Prime Minister? Even if you don't want to cooperate with my brother, you won't be so humiliating!"
"Humiliation? I'm afraid it's because the truth revealed Brother Ling's true face, that your Excellency became angry, right?"
"you you--"
Meng Yan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood up and pointed at the female prime minister with his finger. After saying the word "you" several times, he stomped his feet and left his seat angrily.
"If you want to completely lose the opportunity to negotiate with me, you can leave." Seeing Meng Yan about to leave, the female prime minister said leisurely.
Meng Yan stopped. He turned his back to the female prime minister and swayed sharply, as if he had been greatly insulted. But the female prime minister had a calm face. She picked up a grape from the table and put it into her mouth gracefully, quietly waiting for Meng Yan's choice.
Meng Yan's breathing gradually calmed down. After a fierce ideological struggle, he turned around resolutely and slowly returned to his seat.
Seeing Meng Yan pretending to be a girl, she smiled softly. She did not hide her inner feelings at all, and her eyes were filled with contempt.
Meng Yan held his fists respectfully and asked calmly, "I wonder why the Prime Minister said this just now."
The female prime minister elegantly sat cross-legged on the main seat and said lightly——
"Although Zhou and Chen are no longer as prosperous as they were thousands of years ago, they are sitting on the two natural barriers of Hangu and Sishui to defend against the new Tang Dynasty in the west and to resist the Wei Dynasty in the east. Both of these passes have the saying 'One man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it' You are so brave and your brother is firmly in control of the military, why do you need to humble yourself and come to seek the truth?"
Hearing what the female prime minister said, Meng Yan wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but the female prime minister gave him no room for explanation. He kept saying: "My lord, you said that your country wants to do business with me, the Wei Dynasty. This is just a cover. Luodu is the Central Plains. Needless to say, the first commercial capital has land routes extending in all directions. There are also two waterways, Mengjin and Jiexian. Businessmen from all over the world gather here. The truth is that they no longer want these merchants from the Wei Dynasty to go to Luodu. But with the word 'profit' in mind, the truth is Can we chop off their legs? If the truth really cuts off the trade route to Luodu, I’m afraid there won’t be any need for others to stumble secretly. Businessmen like me, Wei, will start making trouble first.”
It is true that business war is a "big killer", but it is also a "double-edged sword". Once used, it will definitely kill one thousand enemies and damage oneself eight hundred. Meng Yan naturally understands this simple truth.
Every word of the female prime minister hit the point, and Meng Yan's momentum gradually weakened. He sat silently and listened to the female prime minister's continued statement.
Seeing that Meng Yan no longer explained, the female prime minister knew that she had already grasped Meng Yan's seven inches, and said: "Mr. Meng, why are you here this time?"
Meng Yan still did not face the female Prime Minister directly. He silently picked up the wine glass and tried his best to hide his inner uneasiness.
The female prime minister looked at Meng Yan with great interest. Over the years, she had always had a little 'hobby', which was to observe people's hearts carefully. At this time, seeing that Meng Yan had 'no place to hide', she The smile on his face grew stronger.
Meng Yan looked like a dirty and ugly man exposed in public, and his expression became more and more unnatural. When Meng Yan's hand holding the wine glass began to tremble slightly, the female prime minister said -
"General Meng asked your Excellency to come and invite the Prime Minister to participate in the negotiations. He wanted to use the Prime Minister's hand to... remove the prince, right? It's just that he didn't dare to say it because it hinders the eyes and ears of the world."
'Crack——'
The wine glass slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, instantly shattering into pieces. Meng Yan's body once again trembled uncontrollably, but compared to before, Meng Yan's anger turned into fear.
Looking at Meng Yan who was sweating slightly on his forehead, the female prime minister continued: "The prince's mother's family has deep roots in your country. If the prince succeeds to the throne, the Meng family will still suffer more constraints. Moreover, I have long heard that the prince is rare. With great talent and great strategy, literature, Taoism and military strategy, how can such heroes allow men like General Meng who have sole control of the military to stay at their elbows? I'm afraid that once their wings are full, they will 'die the cunning rabbit and cook the lackeys'... ….”
The female prime minister's words went straight to the point, like a sharp sword piercing Meng Yong's heart. She continued without mercy: "If General Meng wanted to be alone at that time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy, right? General Meng will be with the prince. Telling the truth privately at the meeting place is because he is sure that the truth will arouse murderous intentions. Once the prince dies, General Meng can boldly and confidently pour dirty water on Prime Minister Feng and his party, and finally help the young prince to the throne. At that time, the Feng family probably doesn’t have many people left alive, and their orphans and widowers are still not allowed to be at the mercy of General Meng?”
Meng Yan closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly, as if he didn't want to face all this, but no matter how "fearful" and "regretful" his expressions and movements looked, he looked like a child playing house in the eyes of the female prime minister. Childish and ridiculous.
After 'appreciating' Meng Yan's face-changing 'performance', the female prime minister continued without mercy: "There is one thing I really don't understand about the truth. It stands to reason that the Queen Mother and the Prince will treat your Meng family well, brother. Why do you do it so brilliantly?"
Meng Yan's mouth twitched slightly for a few times, and then he gradually loosened his clenched fists, as if giving up resistance. He opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and people... if they go against the grain... Acting on the momentum will definitely not end well..."
"Contrarian? What is contrarian?"
"Of course it refers to you, Prime Minister." Meng Yan said respectfully.
Facing Meng Yan's naked flattery, the female prime minister smiled slightly and took him over. Now that he has achieved the word 'frank', Meng Yan thought that he had no reservations and was more comfortable facing the female prime minister. He raised his chest and asked loudly: "Prime Minister Wei, are you satisfied with my answer?"
Meng Yan's posture finally lowered. Facing the female figure who had already seen through him, he had no power to fight back. And what about the female phase? He looked at Meng Yan with interest, as if he was admiring a plaything.
While the two people were silent, a maid walked in from outside the hall. She came to the female prime minister, leaned over and whispered a few words in the female prime minister's ear.
The female prime minister nodded expressionlessly after hearing this, and the maid clapped her hands toward the outside of the hall. Another maid walked in, but she was holding a square box the size of a wine jar in her hand. When she walked to the female prime minister, , raised the square box above his head with great respect and presented it in front of the female prime minister. The female prime minister didn't even glance at the box, and said calmly: "Let Mr. Meng take a look."
The maid didn't say anything, just turned around and handed the wooden box to Meng Yan.
Looking at the wooden box in the maid's hand, Meng Yan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He looked at the female prime minister and asked uneasily: "This is..."
"Sir, won't you know if you open it and take a look?" Seeing that Meng Yan's expression became a little unnatural, the female prime minister sneered, "What, is it possible that you are scared?"
Faced with the disdain and ridicule of the female prime minister, Meng Yan frowned. He knew that if he exposed himself at this moment, he would never be able to hold his head up in front of the female prime minister again. His heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and opened the box - when the bloody thing in the box came into view, Meng Yan's first impression was that it looked familiar, but when he saw what it was, his eyes were as wide as copper. As big as a bell, he first shook his hands, and then fell backwards in horror.
'哐————'
The wooden box in the maid's hand was knocked to the ground, and a bloody human head rolled out of it, rolling in front of Meng Yan as if it had found a relative.
"Brother...brother...brother...!?"
Meng Yan stammered and shouted. He never imagined that what was in the box would be his brother's head! Poor Cavalry General Meng Yong, his head is now in a different place. Looking at his eyes that were still wide open, it was obvious that he refused to die with a look in his eyes. Perhaps he didn’t know why he died until the moment he died. But fortunately, judging from the smooth knife marks, it was clear that he had cut The blow to his head must have been extremely fast, so fast that he had no time to feel the pain.
"Ah - ah -"
Meng Yan screamed heartbreakingly. He was completely crazy. He was finally afraid. Only at this moment did he understand what kind of character he was facing!
In the eyes of the female prime minister, the crazy Meng Yan was just a crazy dog. She no longer showed any politeness and said coldly: "Mr. Meng——"
"What?" Meng Yan was frightened when he heard the female prime minister's cold voice again.
"Within three days! You have three days to close the door and open Sishui, otherwise——"
Meng Zheng was breathing heavily. He stared at the female prime minister. In addition to fear, there was also a hint of anger in his eyes. This anger is enough to corrode Meng Yan's reason, causing him to act recklessly to the death or both.
The female prime minister felt Meng Yan's anger, but she remained unmoved and said: "Otherwise, I will tell the world the truth. It was your Meng family who rebelled and betrayed the prince and killed him. I, the great Wei Xingyi soldiers, came to help. Sir Meng can close the door tightly, but don’t blame the truth for not reminding you, if you really want to go against the trend, then the day our Wei army breaks through, will be the day the Meng family disappears from this world!"
"you you--"
Meng Yan was completely desperate. He sat on the ground blankly, with only endless fear and annoyance in his mind. He only regretted that his brother and himself had not seen all this clearly earlier. At this moment, the female prime minister was a monster and an evil ghost in his eyes. Everything in the world The combined sinisterness and viciousness are not even half as bad as this woman! But even though he hated her to the core, he had no room to turn around. At this point, other than doing what he did, was there any better choice?
