"The mountain ghost is attacking humans..." Xie Jian hugged the human-headed staff and opened his big eyes to tell where the mountain ghost was at the moment and what the other party was doing.
"That woman is so good at making the most of everything." At first, Xie Jian thought that Sara was interested in killing the donkey-hide gelatin, but after getting along with him several times, he felt more and more that this was not the case.
Sara was clearly using Sesshomaru.
"I know." As the true master of the mountain ghost, Sesshomaru certainly knew the opponent's location.
Xajian looked up at Sesshomaru blankly, guessing what kind of knowledge the other party meant. If it was the latter, why did she let her take advantage of it even though he knew it?
I really have too many questions to ask.
Sara, who was talked about by the master and the servant, was in Sara City at the moment, meeting the messenger soldiers who had returned from the battlefield of Tata Kingdom.
When the messenger came back for the first time, he brought back good news. The army was overwhelming and the Tata Kingdom was completely outmatched. They actually wanted to exchange for a chance for peace through trade.
"What did they give in exchange?" Sara was not surprised that Tata Country did this. She was more curious about what the other party could offer.
Speaking of this messenger, his voice couldn't help but become softer, as if he was afraid that what he said next would offend Sara.
"They said they have evidence of contacts with certain ministers in the DPRK and China, and they want to use this evidence to exchange for peace." After the messenger finished speaking, he lowered his head.
The palace was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop, and all you could hear was Sara sneered: "Didn't General Zuo tell them that we can get evidence even if we defeat them?"
"General Zuo said that if we don't agree, they will burn the evidence before the city is broken, so that we can't find it even if we look for it."
General Zuo was also filled with hatred. Since the evidence might be too important, he could only ask the messenger to come back first and let Suo Luo make up his mind.
Sara tapped the table lightly, and when she was thinking deeply, she saw Kyosuke the Second God, who was about to speak but hesitated, so she directly opened her mouth and asked him to just say it: "If you have anything to do, just say it."
Ergami Kyousuke gritted his teeth and stood up from the team: "The other party is so sure that we will consider it, so the person pointed to by the evidence must have some prestige in the court."
Sara narrowed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Her study room in the City Lord's Mansion is still the same as before, and she didn't move it out because she got used to it. There are many things she can use in the room, and the space for activities is not as big as the study room in Jiang Xiong's Dawu Mansion.
"There is some prestige, I'm afraid it's very high." Sara didn't cover up her past intentions at all, and directly hit what the other party really wanted to say.
Sara looked at the messenger soldier and asked, "What else did the other party say?"
The soldier originally wanted to take the initiative, but when asked, he had to say: "They said that if the evidence is destroyed, even if the Salo Kingdom wins, it will be in dire straits in the future. In the list they have, those ministers will Taught Saraguo a painful lesson."
After saying this, the soldier's head hung lower.
The matter was already clear at this point, and there was no need to continue. Sara turned to look at Qiu.
After receiving the signal, Qiu took a step forward and said to the soldier: "You are tired too, why not go down and rest for a day and start again tomorrow."
The soldier suddenly raised his head and looked at Sara.
Sara nodded, and then he obeyed the order and followed the maid out.
After the soldiers and maids had gone out, Ergami Kyosuke glanced at the door, turned around and asked, "The city lord has a plan."
Sara stood up from her seat, walked down, and said calmly: "The war cannot stop, this battle must be fought."
"That evidence..."
"Evidence doesn't matter. Without evidence, wouldn't you and I know who the person behind it is?"
There is a difference between having evidence and having no evidence. If there is evidence, you can directly dismount the opponent. But can they really hit the mark with one hit? Is it really worth exchanging a war?
Kyosuke, the second god, thought for a long time and said that Sara was right.
Two birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand. Sara smiled maliciously and said, "You tell me, if I tell all the ministers about this at tomorrow's court meeting, what do you think the reaction of the people behind it will be?"
Hearing Sara's words, Nigami Kyosuke, who was still confused at first, felt his hair stand on end.
"The people behind the scenes will find ways to deal with the royal family of the Tata Kingdom, not to mention helping the front line. If we pursue them closely, we might even be able to catch them a little bit."
"Smart man." Sara smiled gently at the second god Kyosuke.
At the court meeting early the next morning, Sarao indeed announced the message to the soldiers.
The messenger soldier told the minister the news again.
All the ministers in the palace had different reactions. They looked at each other suspiciously. Seeing that everyone looked like a spy with ties to the enemy country, they couldn't help but stand farther away from each other.
This matter should have nothing to do with Jiang Xiong Dawu, but he couldn't help but wonder who this person or this group of people was, and whether they were from their faction.
Sara definitely had bad intentions when she said this at the court meeting, but Jiang Xiong just couldn't help but think about it.
The old guy was obviously in a state of confusion. Sara and Kyosuke the Second God knew at a glance that it was not him, at least he was not the real person who did this.
The court meeting ended as usual, and the courtiers never reached a conclusion on whether to accept the peace conditions of the Tata Kingdom. Sara looked helpless and said they could go back and think about it carefully, and they would decide at the meeting tomorrow.
All the forces from all sides went back one by one after the meeting, and Jiang Xiong Dawu also went back with a group of people.
As soon as Jiang Xiong Dawu returned to the house, he sat down at the top of the table and looked directly at the expressions of everyone present with his turbid old eyes: "We are all our own people now. If you really do something like that, stand up."
None of the ministers dared to sit down. They stood in the palace and looked at me and me, but no one was willing to stand up.
Seeing that no one stood up, Jiang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief or something. He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
Maybe someone who has done something wrong will inevitably have a bad expression. Jiang Xiong Dawu put down the cup and saw his son-in-law's evasive expression, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"You," he pointed at Reita Ueda, his fingers trembling with shock, "did you do that? Tell me, did you do it?"
Seeing that Reita, a loser, was still hiding and trying to deny it, he shouted angrily again. The sound was so loud that the servants and maids in the courtyard outside could hear it.
The air seemed to be condensed for a moment, and no one dared to speak. Reita Ueda's expression was so strange that the ministers who were standing next to him couldn't help but stand farther away.
thump!
Perhaps knowing that he could no longer hide it, Reita Ueda stepped forward quickly, knelt down in front of Jiang Xiong Dawu, and cried bitterly: "Father, you must save me!"
"I contacted the royal family of Tata Kingdom only for Tomoko and the future of our couple. I just want you to value your son-in-law!"
Tomoko, whose full name is Exiong Tomoko, is the daughter of Exiong Daigo and the wife of Reita Ueda.
Jiangxiong Dawu doted on his daughter, and he did not hesitate to help his useless son-in-law to this position. Reita Ueda took a fancy to this, and his words were all out of necessity for his wife.
Jiang Xiong was so angry that his chest heaved violently. Fortunately, his proud disciple Ryota Tsuchai comforted him, so he didn't faint from anger.
"Teacher, please take a break. Maybe Reita Ueda has some unavoidable reasons."
It would be better not to say this. Jiang Xiong Dawu became even more angry when he heard it. He staggered to his feet, rushed forward, slapped Reita Ueda on the head, and kicked him several times.
"What kind of last resort is there? When did he make a mistake without using Tomoko as an excuse? In the past, forget it. Does he know how serious this matter is!"
The heroes of the Warring States Period rose up together, and the Emperor's side was not already dead. All parties fought against each other, with winners and losers. No one knew who would be the final winner.
As courtiers, if they don't like their own city lord, they can cooperate with other countries, but this cooperation also has its own rules and regulations, and they will never give the other party any leverage.
Reita Ueda still blatantly did something that everyone knew, which was stupid, beyond stupid!
Reita Ueda was stunned by the slap and those kicks, but he quickly woke up and told Exiong Dawu that he was wrong and how wrong he was, and asked his father to help him for Tomoko's sake. help.
"Help? Just wait to die."
"Ah?" Reita Ueda didn't expect such an answer, and looked up blankly, "Father?"
At this moment, Jiang Xiong Dawu had calmed down a lot and sat back in the top position. He could help in the past, but not with this matter. At worst, he would let his daughter marry another husband, and Ryota Togo would be a good fit.
He had taken a fancy to this disciple in the first place. If it hadn't been for the useless intervention, this would not be the case. Ryota Tsuchai has also married in recent years, but it doesn't matter, his Tomoko can be an equal wife, and I think his proud disciple will not have any objections.
Looking at Jiang Xiong's expression, Ryota Toai could not tell what Jiang Xiong was thinking. His eyes flickered and he drank tea to hide his expression.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the palace door.
"The master is discussing political affairs with all the ministers, please don't embarrass me."
"Presumptuous! I am Jiang Xiongzhizi, your master. I want to see my father, why do you stop me!"
When everyone in the hall heard this, they knew who the visitor was and couldn't help but look at the old man sitting at the top.
…
Sara didn't know what happened after Jiang Xiong Dawu returned. At the court meeting the next day, he saw that his face looked as if he had aged ten years.
Several parties have different opinions on whether to negotiate or not. The anti-war faction did not approve of war from the beginning, and of course they chose peace talks this time as always.
"Fart! How can you say we won't fight if we don't fight! With such a huge army, how can you bear the expenses for many days?" Ergami Kyosuke had a hehe face, and his mouth was enough to fight the heroes.
He is from Salo's side. Since he said that, he must have meant Salo. Seeing this, the anti-war ministers all blushed and looked helplessly at Jiang Xiong Dawu.
Jiang Xiong Dawu had been particularly quiet since the beginning of the court meeting. Sara narrowed her eyes and saw the opportunity, then raised a smile and asked: "Does the minister have any other ideas?"
The official name of Jiang Xiong Dawu is the Minister of Great Affairs. He raised his head and glanced at Sara and then lowered his head.
The emotions in that glance were so complicated that Sara was stunned for a moment.
"Wei Chen thinks that what Dana Yan said is reasonable. The victory of the army is in sight. How can we retreat at this time? Who can bear so much consumption?"
Those anti-war ministers looked at Jiang Xiong Dawu with strange eyes. Who was the loudest person who vowed to oppose the war and the land? Their memory is correct, right?
The contrast between Jiang Xiong's realization and his realization was so great that only the officials of his faction knew about it. They all had sullen faces and no one knew what they were thinking when they lowered their heads.
In the past, they only knew that the minister loved his daughter, but they did not expect that he could do this for his daughter. What does it mean to stand up at this time? Can't others see it?
It's so obvious.
Sara leaned back and smiled: "But other ministers said that this war can be suspended. Minister of Political Affairs, you have to give a reason that is enough to convince everyone."
Sara brought this matter to the court, not just to scare Jiang Xiong into enlightenment, but to continue fighting, right? Show sincerity.
Everyone was curious about Jiang Xiong's next choice, and their eyes all looked towards the person.
How could Jiang Xiong Dawu not understand that the one who needed to be persuaded was not the minister at all but Sara herself. He closed his eyes tightly, the sorrow in his heart almost overwhelming his reason.
