Fang Daorong looked at Lu Qian's expression, smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right... we had a brief encounter before Mr. Lu entered the palace."
Xia Wenzhi glanced at Lu Qian.
Lu Qian just smiled slightly. What happened to Concubine Li was still fresh in his mind, and he really didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Fortunately, Fang Daorong did not continue this topic and changed the subject.
"Your Highness, I will arrange for someone to wash you up. Then I will arrange a meeting in the evening."
Zhou Linyuan asked, "Who are the envoys sent by Great Zhou?"
"They are Li Xianzong, the right prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Hongye, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and General Qin Yue."
Zhou Linyuan's face didn't look good.
Zhou Shuran explained on the sidelines, "These people are all members of the Fourth Prince's gang, and they are all people who want Linyuan to die."
After Lu Qian listened, he nodded slightly and said to Zhou Linyuan on the side, "Linyuan, please don't show your face."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Fang Daorong and said, "City Lord Fang, we must block the news that Prince Zhou has come to Tongguan City."
Fang Daorong nodded.
Upon seeing this, Xia Wenzhi said, "Mr. Lu, do you have a plan?"
Lu Qian nodded and followed the others, saying that he had already planned a plan along the way.
After everyone listened, they all nodded and thought it was feasible.
...
After everyone washed up, they all changed into clothes.
The meeting was held in the city lord's palace.
Da Zhou's group also arrived early.
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was also worried when he heard that the Huo family army was gathering troops towards Yanmen Pass.
The reason why Huo Jiajun is famous all over the world is because of his fierce fighting power.
If a fight does come up, they have no chance of winning.
The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty also knew that he was in the wrong and told the four princes that as long as they could save the prince, they could transfer some cities appropriately.
The fourth prince Zhou Hongye asked coldly when he saw that the time had already passed the agreed time and Xia Wenzhi and the others were not seen.
"Master Fang, is this the way you treat guests in Daxia?"
"Your Highness, Fourth Prince, please be patient. I have sent someone to rush you..." Fang Daorong said with a smile.
After more than ten minutes, the eldest prince slowly came out.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time... I'm really sorry for being tied up by some things." Xia Wenzhi said with a smile as he walked away.
Lu Qian followed closely behind.
I saw only two people coming out.
Zhou Hongye's face froze and he said, "Is it possible that Daxia just sent you here, just the two of you?"
Lu Qian sat down and said with a smile, "Do you think Daxia is neglecting you? I won't hide it from you. In the entire court, except for our Highness, everyone else is in charge! We are also bearing the burden. Huge pressure to negotiate with you!"
"If not, our Highness has a kind heart and doesn't want the people to be in dire straits! If you have any objections! Then we'll leave now."
Lu Qian said and was about to get up and leave.
"Wait a minute... This must be Mr. Lu who defeated Mr. Di. He is indeed a talented man, a heroic young man." Li Xianzong, the right minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, said with a smile.
Seeing this, Lu Qian replied, "This must be the famous Right Prime Minister Li. I have admired him for a long time."
The two people passing by boasted, and the atmosphere at the scene relaxed a lot.
"Since everyone is here with sincerity, let's not beat around the bush! Let's each state our bottom line directly and see if it can be tolerated. If it is possible, let's talk... If not, don't waste it. It’s each other’s time.”
Lu Qian's words made them slightly stunned.
They had never seen this kind of negotiation.
He didn't speak when he saw them.
Lu Qian continued, "Our bottom line is at least half of the sixteen cities of Yanyun! That is eight cities. If, you
We can talk. So, let's talk. If we can't talk, then let Huo Xiaolin come and talk to you. "
"Mr. Lu, I'm afraid you don't understand. This matter is just what the prince said at the moment, and it can't be counted at all! If you want other things, we can talk about it... But we can't talk about a city or a pond. Let it go." Fourth Prince Zhou Hongye said forcefully.
"If that's the case...then we don't have to talk. To tell you the truth, we came here with sincerity. If you are willing to talk, our sincerity will satisfy you. However, Fourth Prince, you refuse If you are so determined, there is no need to continue.”
This time, Xia Wenzhi stood up and left after speaking.
"Your Highness! Wait a minute..."
Li Xianzong had never seen such a negotiation before, and his rhythm was somewhat disrupted.
When Xia Wenzhi saw this, he stopped very cooperatively.
"What do you mean by sincerity..." Li Xianzong asked tentatively.
Xia Wenzhi pretended to look at Fang Daorong on one side and said, "City Lord Fang, please step aside."
Fang Daorong was naturally very cooperative.
After finishing speaking, Xia Wenzhi looked at some of the guards of the Zhou Envoy.
Li Xianzong also understood and sent them away.
There were only five people left in the entire negotiation scene.
"Your Highness, you can have your say now." Li Xianzong said with increasing interest.
Xia Wenzhi glanced at Lu Qian.
Lu Qian said, "I don't mind revealing to you the thoughts of our main war faction in Daxia. Do you know why we didn't bring Zhou Linyuan?"
"Don't you just want to threaten us with the prince?" Li Xianzong said hypocritically.
Lu Qian smiled coldly, "Can the prince threaten you? Stop pretending! Everyone in Daxia knows that you want to borrow our sword to kill your prince in Dazhou!"
Li Xianzong and the others just remained silent.
Lu Qian continued, "The people from the main war faction of Daxia Kingdom hope that our negotiations will collapse. Then they will raise troops. They will take advantage of the situation and send the Prince of Zhou back to you!"
"What will Zhou Linyuan do once he returns to Great Zhou after he knows that you have given up on saving him? What will your old ministers of Great Zhou do who support them? By then, your Great Zhou court will be in chaos! How will you, Great Zhou, deal with the elites of our Great Zhou? Teacher!" Lu Qian said impassionedly.
The faces of the people in their great Zhou Kingdom are not good-looking!
"According to what Mr. Lu said, you, Daxia, are in an invincible position no matter what, so why are you bothering us here?" Li Xianzong said.
Lu Qian smiled faintly and said, "Li Youxiang, you are a smart man, don't you really know? The Huo family is powerful, and our Majesty also loves His Highness Xia Xingbang, the Sixth Prince, and intends to pass the throne to him. If it were not for the obstruction by the ministers in the court, I am afraid that the crown prince's position would be He already belongs to His Highness the Sixth Prince."
"In order to embarrass His Highness, His Majesty deliberately threw the hot potato of his mission to us, and promised that if we handled it properly, we could make His Highness the crown prince! Instead, he would make His Highness the Sixth Highness. I guess Li Youxiang already knows the benefits?"
Li Xianzong also heard some of the things Lu Qian said, and he believed his words a little and continued to ask, "You still haven't expressed your sincerity."
The best emperor master
