Chapter 690: Extremely urgent

After a stick of incense, the two cavalry messengers rushed out of the county gate and rushed towards the north.

The two of them each carried a red flag with the word "Urgent" written in big yellow letters on it.

From a long distance, you can recognize these two people. They are the messengers who need to report urgently. All other people will give in.

Moreover, this flag is almost identical to the military command flag.

It is unclear whether it is an urgent report from Beixi County or an urgent report from the Ministry of War.

In this way, people who are trying to intercept Beixi County's emergency report can't tell the truth from the truth.

The reason for sending two messengers at the same time.

Firstly, he can have someone to look after him on the road, and secondly, he can serve as a substitute. If one of the messengers goes wrong, the other one can make up for it and continue to send messages to Kyoto.

Every time the messengers passed through a post station, they had to exchange customs clearance documents.

The next station must send the news that the messenger has passed back to the previous station within an hour.

In this way, if something happens to both the messengers, the post station can know it immediately and report it to the top.

It is precisely because of these foolproof and careful arrangements that the communication between Beixi County and Kyoto has always been stable.

And the communication time was directly shortened to two days and two nights.

Even the Ministry of War Station can't match this speed.

The two cavalry messengers had no time to spare and marched day and night towards Kyoto.

At the same time, the peace talks in the Forbidden Palace in Kyoto continued.

Compared with the fierce fighting on the first day, today's peace talks were obviously much calmer.

But for the Beidi Mission, the advantage is no longer there.

Because of today's peace talks, Qin Feng also joined.

Although Qin Feng, as a little Anlebo, sat at the bottom of the negotiation table, he remained silent throughout the whole process, with a vague smile on his face.

But for the Beidi envoys, they still felt unprecedented pressure.

Lu Li picked up the teacup and took a sip, moistened his throat, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Enough noisy, enough fuss, let's get down to business today."

"In this battle, I, Dadi, did lose. This is an indisputable fact."

"Based on the status of a defeated country, it is inevitable to pay a certain amount of war reparations."

"Before coming, our civil and military officials had already discussed this matter and reached an agreement."

"In terms of war compensation, Dadi's bottom line is ten million taels of silver and two hundred cattle and sheep each."

"As for the repairs of various cities on the border of Liang Kingdom, as well as the loss of weapons, etc., they are all included."

If it had been left in the past two days, without Qin Tianhu opening his mouth, the peace talks ministers present would have been unable to sit still and would definitely refute it face to face.

But today, the ministers were particularly quiet, and they all wanted to see what Qin Feng meant.

For a moment, all the eyes at the scene focused on Qin Feng.

Seeing that Qin Feng still acted like he had nothing to do with him, Qin Tianhu couldn't help but get angry.

With his eyes widened, he picked up the tea cup and pretended to throw it away.

"You brat, if you don't wake up, go home to your father and stop being embarrassed here!"

Faced with Qin Tianhu's refutation and the ready-to-go teacup in his hand, Qin Feng restrained himself slightly, curled his lips, and looked aggrieved.

"Why are you so anxious?"

"I'm just a little Anlebo, how can I interrupt here?"

"The price of compensation has been given, and then the next step is to bargain. Isn't this normal?"

Speaking of this, Qin Feng grinned at the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Master Li, all kinds of money in this Daliang must pass through your hands. Master Li must be particularly sensitive to 'money'."

"It is most appropriate for Mr. Li to take charge of this matter."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xu, the Minister of Household Affairs, resolutely looked away, picked up the teacup, and pretended to take a sip.

Pretending not to hear what Qin Feng said.

But he cursed in his heart, this guy feels uncomfortable all day long if he doesn't do anything.

This is a peace negotiation between the two countries, not a vegetable market. He, Qin Feng, is not embarrassed about bargaining, but Li Xu is still embarrassed.

Seeing that Li Xu didn't answer, Qin Feng didn't force himself and turned around to look at Taichang Temple Minister again.

As a result, before he could speak, the Minister of Dali Temple turned his head away.

The rest of the ministers present were not much better. They either simply ignored Qin Feng, or they just used the excuse of "losing their throats" to shirk the situation.

During the peace talks in the past two days, the ministers roared and rolled up their sleeves. How could they show the slightest trace of the pillars of the country? They are clearly a group of local ruffians.

Seeing that the peace talks have reached the third day, it is time for Qin Feng to contribute.

With no choice, Qin Feng had no choice but to sit up lazily.

"Lu Zhuguo, seeing that the peace talks have reached the third day, if you are still unwilling to show some sincerity."

"Either we keep talking endlessly, or we break up."

"No matter what the outcome is, it is not what we want to see."

Compared with Qin Feng's vigorous and vigorous behavior when they first met, Qin Feng turned out to be kind and gentle when they met again.

Even the well-informed Lu Li could not help but be caught off guard.

I thought that this boy was the representative of Liang Guo's hawks.

As a result, I became dovish again today.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out Qin Feng's context.

Lu Li was secretly surprised, but pretended to be calm on his face.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Since Qin Feng is so kind, Lu Li will naturally not be tough.

"Qin Feng, I'm afraid it's unreasonable for you to say that I, Dadi, am not sincere."

"If we were not sincere, we would not have come across thousands of mountains and rivers to come to your Liang Kingdom and Gyeonggi Province for peace talks, let alone my majestic country, presiding over the peace talks."

"It can be seen that everyone in Dadi attaches great importance to this peace negotiation."

Qin Feng did not doubt Beidi's 'sincerity'.

But being sincere does not mean that there will be concessions at the negotiation table. One yard belongs to the other and cannot be confused.

Qin Feng shrugged, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Ignore the two hundred cattle and sheep each, not even a fraction."

"Let's just talk about these 10 million war reparations."

"At best, it's because you, Beidi, have limited abilities and can't afford to pay too much. At worst, you're just sending me away to beg for food."

"The quarrel has been over, so let's settle the score calmly."

"If I, Daliang, defeat you, Beidi, but can't even recover the minimum loss, then what's the point of fighting this battle?"

"Is it simply to repel the enemy and protect the border?"

"Then you guys look down on me, Daliang, too much."

Lu Li's face was expressionless, but his heart was a little lively.

It is undeniable that Qin Feng's words are on point.

The reason why Beidi was so arrogant was that he was sure that Liang had no strength to fight anymore, so he repeatedly reduced the war indemnity.
