"Now that Prince Xiao understands my intention, he must also know what to do, right?"
Murong Fu didn't wait for the other party to take a few more breaths before throwing out a difficult problem again.
Fortunately, after knowing Murong Fu's thoughts, Xiao Fengxian finally found the direction and quickly said, "I understand that the north has been in constant war over the years and the people have been displaced and miserable. Your Majesty intends to mediate the war in order to calm the people first. "
Murong Fu said, "That's right. Xiaojun's throne is very popular, and he really sees everything clearly."
Xiao Feng first smiled and then said, "Your Majesty has good intentions and a philanthropic mind, which makes me admirable. However, there is an irresolvable feud between Daliao and Dajin. It is not determined by His Majesty's words." That’s all we can do.”
Murong Fu sighed and said, "I have tried so hard to do so, but when our two countries are at war, how can we pay for the suffering of the people?"
Xiao Feng heard this first and understood a little of Murong Fu's thoughts, and then asked, "According to His Majesty's words, can we suspend the war temporarily?"
Murong Fu said, "This couldn't be better!"
Xiao Fengxian asked again, "How long does Your Majesty think a ceasefire is needed?"
Murong Fu asked again, "What does Prince Xiao think?"
Xiao Feng first conservatively estimated the current territory of Daliao, as well as the political and military situation, and then said categorically, "Three years!"
In one year, Daliao will have the strength to counterattack Dai Jin, but in one year, even if Dai Jin is destroyed, it will definitely pay a heavy price. If Murong Fu sends troops to attack by then, Daliao will not be able to resist it. live.
So on this basis, Xiao Fengxian postponed it for two more years. After three years, even if Dai Jin was destroyed, the Liao Kingdom would still be able to protect itself.
As for the past three years, even if Dajin is also developing, after all, the prefectures and cities it occupies are limited, how can it compare with Daliao, which conquered the northern power?
In this regard, Xiao Fengxian was full of confidence.
However, when Xiao Fengxian was secretly proud, Murong Fu poured cold water on him unceremoniously.
"One year!"
"Your country will cede the Xijing Road to Dayan. I can guarantee that Dayan will not invade your territory within one year!"
Murong Fu just looked at Xiao Fengxian's confused expression quietly.
"One... one year?"
"Your Majesty, we only have one year, and Daliao is not strong enough to compete with Dai Jin!"
Mr. Xiao Feng was numb, especially when he saw the corners of Murong Fu's mouth rising, his heart felt cold, as if the person in front of him could see through his own thoughts. This was terrible!
Murong Fu sighed, "Dajin's strength is growing day by day, and now it cannot be underestimated. Prince Xiao also understands that Daijin will not agree to a truce with you. Although my Dayan can suppress them for a while, but the wolf is hungry." They always have to eat meat, so will they starve themselves to death just because a tiger scares them?"
"This... Your Majesty, I wonder if you can extend it to two years?"
Xiao Fengxian was sweating again and tried his best.
Murong Fu said, "One year at most, there is really no other way!"
"Speaking of which, I wonder if Duke Xiao knew about the assassination at Dajin Inn today? Does your emperor know about it?"
Xiao Fengxian was scared to death by Murong Fu, but as soon as he said these words, Xiao Fengxian was so frightened that he almost choked to death.
"Cough cough cough!"
"No, I don't know. I definitely don't know. If Your Majesty hadn't told this villain, I wouldn't have known about it."
After Xiao Fengxian coughed violently, he quickly waved his hands indiscriminately, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with them.
"It really doesn't matter?"
Murong Fu gave him a thoughtful look.
"Seriously, how dare you deceive your majesty?"
Xiao Feng refused to admit it even if he bit him to death.
Murong Fu no longer forced him, he lay back and said, "Bring them in!"
The door was pushed open, and the assassins from the Shadow Tower pressed two men in black and walked in. When they raised their heads after being grabbed by their hair, two bloody faces suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Fengxian.
"ah!!!"
"Don't... don't come here!"
When Xiao Feng first saw the faces of these two people, he was so frightened that he rolled over and sat paralyzed next to Murong Fu.
He was not frightened by the terrifying looks of the two men. What really frightened him was that with such a careful plan, Murong Fu was still able to survive.
"Don't be afraid, Prince Xiao, these two people have been controlled by my shadow guards!"
After Murong Fu comforted Xiao Fengxian, he asked one of the shadow assassins, "What did the trial reveal?"
"Back to Your Majesty, these two people are willing to confess their origins to Your Majesty in person under our torture."
"That's very good. Prince Xiao might as well listen to it together."
Murong Fu looked overjoyed, but at the same time he did not forget to remind Xiao Feng first.
Xiao Fengxian was so frightened that he almost wet his pants. He wanted to say that he didn't want to hear it that much, but Murong Fu didn't give him a chance at all.
"Then you have to tell me first. Who are you? Who appointed you to assassinate Emperor Jin?"
Murong Fu looked at the man on his right and said in a low tone.
The man's muscles and bones were all broken at this moment. He could barely hold up his upper body with only the support of the Shadow Assassin. The strong smell of blood filled the air from him. When he was dragged into the house, four blood stains were left on the ground. Until this moment, They were still bleeding.
Then came an extremely weak voice: "We are from the Liao Kingdom... Orudo's palace... the palace guards... were sent by His Majesty... to assassinate..."
Listening to the intermittent words coming out of the assassin's mouth, Xiao Fengxian's face turned pale with every word he said.
Just when the man was about to say that Emperor Tian Zuo sent them to kill the Emperor of Jin, Murong Fu stood up and drew out the long sword from the shadow assassin's waist. As the white blade flashed by, a human head was immediately chopped off by him. It rolled to Xiao Fengxian's feet. He was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground. He hit his forehead on the corner of the table and backed away in panic without even thinking.
Murong Fu returned the sword to its sheath and calmly sat back down.
On the ground is the head of the assassin who just spoke.
But the other assassin seemed to be dumbfounded, his eyes were dull, without any fear, and the four shadow assassins behind him didn't even frown.
"Oruduo is the imperial army established by Taizu Taizu of the Liao Dynasty. It is divided into twelve palaces. It seems that Oruduo, as mentioned by this person just now, happens to be in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. Prince Xiao, I wonder if I am wrong? "
Murong Fu looked at Xiao Fengxian who was cowering behind a beam in fear, his face full of fear and his whole body trembling.
Xiao Fengxian felt that his trousers were wet. He looked at the bloody, dead head on the ground. He had been following Emperor Tianzuo to enjoy himself. He had never seen such a scene. If he hadn't been frightened one after another, his nerves relaxed. , I am afraid that I have been frightened to death, or even scared to death.
