Seeing Murong Fu looking at him, Xiao Fengxian's legs felt weak for a while, holding on to the fear in his heart, thinking that the identity of the assassin was exposed and that he was about to die at Murong Fu's hands.
At this moment, Murong Fu suddenly laughed.
"Does Prince Xiao know why I want to kill him?"
Xiao Fengxian said in a trembling voice, "I... I don't know." ?.?????.???
"Because this person deserves to be killed!"
"This thief dares to slander Daliao and alienate my relationship with brother Yelu. Does Prince Xiao think that I shouldn't behead him?"
After Murong Fu laughed, his face immediately darkened, his eyes flashed with cold light, the heads rolling on the ground, and the smell of blood that filled the room made Xiao Fengxian lose his ability to think for a moment.
He stared at Murong Fu blankly for a long time before he suddenly came back to his senses. He was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, what this person said is absolutely a naked false accusation. We, Daliao, have always been on good terms with your country. How could he be so premeditated to cause harm?"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "I think so, so I killed this man mercilessly."
Later, Murong Fu shouted angrily at the shadow assassins, "You are making wild assumptions. Is there any truth from this assassin's mouth?"
Several shadow assassins pretended to be frightened and knelt down to apologize.
Murong Fu snorted coldly, "Fortunately, there is still one person left. Take him down quickly and torture him severely. If you can't find out who is behind the scenes, don't blame me for punishing you all together!"
Several shadow assassins did not dare to delay, and left in a hurry with the only remaining assassin and the body of the other.
"Prince Xiao, where were we talking just now?"
Murong Fu took a sip of tea, glanced sideways at Xiao Fengxian, and asked unhurriedly.
Xiao Fengxian's face was as pale as paper, and he pressed his hands on his chest to calm himself down. Now, he finally understood why Murong Fu performed this act.
"Your Majesty said that in exchange for the Liao Kingdom's Xijing Road, the Liao and Jin sides would stop fighting for one year."
Murong Fu snorted and asked doubtfully, "How do I remember that Prince Xiao said two years?"
Xiao Fengxian swallowed deeply and said with a sad smile, "Your Majesty must have heard wrong. The villain said one year."
"So that's the case, then let's keep it for one year! Brother Yelu, please ask Prince Xiao to convey it on your behalf!"
Murong Fu smiled faintly, stood up and left the room.
When Xiao Feng first saw this, he collapsed on the ground, his whole body soaked with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Fortunately, not long after, a servant from the mansion brought him a new set of clothes to put on, and Xiao Fengxian hurried back to the banquet hall.
There was no trace of Murong Fu where he was sitting, and there was no trace of Wanyan Aguda on the Dajin side.
Xiao Feng inquired first and learned that it was Murong Fu who came back and then left with Wanyan Aguda.
"Fengxian, how did the conversation go?"
Yelu Yanxi saw that Xiao Fengxian looked sick, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, but couldn't wait to ask about the result.
Xiao Fengxian did not dare to hide anything and recounted the discussion between himself and Murong Fu word for word, including the capture of the two assassins.
"Although I know that Your Majesty is unwilling to do so, there is still an assassin in the hands of Murong Fu. He personally killed one of them to prove to us that these two people are real assassins and not outsiders pretending to be. He left one alive just to use this as a threat to force us to submit. Please, Your Majesty, please think twice for the sake of Daliao!"
When Xiao Fengxian thought of what happened just now, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
At that time, whether it was the fear in his heart of having his conspiracy revealed, or Murong Fu's persuasion and decisive killing, it all made him feel like a thorn in his back. Every time he thought about it, it felt as if Murong Fu was standing behind him with a sword, ready to kill him at any time. His own head is as big as his own.
Yelu Yanxi's face gradually darkened. He glared at Xiao Fengxian, who was shaking like chaff at the moment, and at the same time glanced at Daijin's seat, thinking that Wanyan Aguda and Murong Fu were probably exchanging interests at this moment. When discussing how to deal with Daliao, he couldn't calm down anymore.
There was a huge shadow shrouded deep in my heart, which was somewhat lingering.
"Okay, I agree to this!"
Yelu Yanxi almost gritted his teeth, feeling extremely depressed from the words that came out of his mouth.
Xiao Fengxian, on the other hand, was overjoyed and finally felt relieved. He swore that for the sake of his own life, he would never negotiate with Murong Fu again.
…
At the same time, in another dark room.
The tea in Murong Fu's hand was replaced by strong wine.
Wanyan Aguda bowed and said, "Your Majesty, King Yan, I wonder if the Liao side will agree to stop the war?"
Murong Fu said, "I don't dare to fully explain it, but I'm still 90% sure."
"On the other hand, do you really think that it only takes one year to completely digest the captured state and city?"
Wanyan Agu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, one year is enough! We can even use the extra resources to win over the Darugu Tribe, the Tieli Tribe and the Bigu Tribe. By then, we will definitely be able to increase our national strength. Improved several times!”
Murong Fu nodded slightly and said, "That's very good. I helped you fight for this year. Don't forget the promise afterwards!"
Wanyan Aguda solemnly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I, the Jurchen clan, have always treated our friends with sincerity."
"I naturally believe in Daikin's sincerity!"
Murong Fu smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
Although Daikin has won many battles over the past year and seized a large territory in Liaodong, their shortcomings in their lack of foundation were soon exposed.
As a large number of tribesmen were deployed to suppress and manage the city, there were fewer and fewer people available around them. Now it has reached a point where no one is available. It is necessary to immerse yourself and appease everyone first. The people's support in the city to avoid unrest in the rear.
Otherwise, no matter how many cities they capture on the front line, if there is chaos in the rear, all their efforts are likely to be overturned in one day.
To put it simply, Daikin is expanding too fast, and the human resources it currently controls are no longer enough for them to seize more cities, so it will take a year to slow down.
For this reason, Wanyan Aguda also found Murong Fu immediately, even earlier than the people from Liao.
Originally, he wanted to trade some of the captured cities so that Murong Fu could help with his troops, but Murong Fu saw his intentions and did not want to wade into this muddy water. Unfortunately, Wanyan Aguda could only reach an agreement with Murong Fu. , in exchange for both sides going on strike for a year to resolve instability in the rear.
As the two returned to the banquet hall, Yelu Yanxi had gradually calmed down, and immediately stood up to express his stance to Murong Fu, saying that he was willing to obey his instructions in everything.
Murong Fu raised his lips slightly, and then said that the war in the north is endless, the people are suffering, and the common people are suffering. From today on, the Liao and Jin sides will stop fighting for one year and cannot invade each other's territory. After one year, each will rely on his own ability, and Yan will not Intervene in the war between the two countries.
At this point, both parties achieved their goals, signed a treaty with each other, and left.
