Lu Qian took a step forward and whispered, "You help us take down the eight cities of Yanyun, and I will help you get rid of Zhou Linyuan! And I promise not to fight!"
"How outrageous, our negotiation here is to rescue the Crown Prince of Zhou, and you actually threaten to kill him!" Li Xianzong said sternly with a serious look on his face.
"Hmph, it seems that Right Prime Minister Li still doesn't trust us. Then let's not talk about it. We have already taken the risk and said everything that should be said and what should not be said."
"There are still four days before the Huo family's army will arrive. We will leave in three days. If Huo Xiaolin comes, you won't have to talk at all."
After Lu Qian finished speaking, he handed over his hands and left without looking back.
The fourth prince Zhou Hongye couldn't help but wanted to scream, but was stopped by Li Xianzong.
...
"Can they believe our words?" Xia Wenzhi asked Lu Qian after seeing them leave.
Lu Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry... The reason why I dare to say this is to make sure that the whole country does not want to fight!"
Zhou Shuran was a little confused.
Lu Qian explained, "They arrived for this meeting nearly a cup of tea early, and they waited for us half an hour late. This shows that they want to negotiate."
"Just now, I revealed our trump card. They were not too surprised. It was obvious that eight cities were within their affordability. Moreover, Li Xianzong just asked us what we could give them."
"Obviously, they are now going to verify the information I said. As long as they confirm the authenticity of what I said! Once confirmed, they will agree. So, we just need to wait!"
Seeing Lu Qian's clear and logical analysis, everyone couldn't help but show admiration...
...
After the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty left.
"Li Xiang, why don't you agree? I think that Lu Qian is sincere! You also know the situation in the DPRK... Once Zhou Linyuan is allowed to return to Dazhou, it will be difficult for us to get rid of him."
"Your Highness, of course I know! However, even though Lu Qian is young, he gives me a very extraordinary feeling. I need to verify what he said!"
"If we can exchange eight cities for the stability of our Great Zhou Dynasty! It will be worth it! And it can also make them fight among themselves in Great Xia. If Xia Wenzhi is made the crown prince, Huo Xiaolin will definitely quit! Then, take advantage of their internal strife , only eight cities, we can take them back with a raise of our hands." Li Xianzong showed a sinister look on his face.
"Li Xiang! What a wonderful plan. Why didn't I think of this level?" Zhou Hongye said flatteringly.
...
After Lu Qian and everyone finished their analysis, they looked a little tired.
Let everyone go to rest first.
As soon as I returned to my room, I heard a knock on the door.
Lu Qian was thinking, Zhou Shuran flirted with her.
I didn’t expect that I couldn’t help it so quickly!
"My little darling...just..."
As soon as he pushed them away, Lu Qian's words came to his lips and he swallowed them.
"City Lord Fang, why are you here?"
Fang Daorong asked, looking at the ball-like thing at the door.
Fang Daorong chuckled, swayed the wine in his hand and a packet of oil-paper-wrapped things, "Mr. Lu, let's drink some together."
Obviously, Fang Daorong had something to say.
Lu Qian let him into the house.
After Fang Daorong opened it, it was a pack of beef.
This is really good stuff.
"City Master Fang, you must have something to do with me." Lu Qian was not polite, reached for a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
Fang Daorong stared at Lu Qian with his falcon-like eyes and asked, "Brother Lu, do you really not recognize me?"
Lu Qian knew that Fang Daorong had a background in criminal investigation and had no intention of lying to him.
I have already thought of a countermeasure.
"City Lord Fang, I'm so sorry! I injured my head two months ago... So, I can't remember some people and things from before... The imperial doctor diagnosed it as amnesia." Lu
Qian said.
Fang Daorong looked at Lu Qian repeatedly with his eyes and said, "I see... Brother Lu, everything is okay in the palace."
Lu Qian nodded and replied, "City Master Fang, it's not bad... I just often think about the past, but I don't know it. I always have a splitting headache."
While talking, I was wondering if I could ask him some questions about the identity of the original owner.
He continued to ask, "I don't know, does City Lord Fang know my past? You said it would be easier for me to get to know you before I entered the palace... I don't know, what did I do before I entered the palace? What do my family members do? Why did I enter?" Palace?"
Fang Daorong's face froze when Lu Qian asked.
After thinking for a while, Cai Can replied with a smile, "I really don't know about this. There was a thief who stole my things, and you were in trouble. We just met. But then, there was no news from you." ..."
Obviously, he wasn't telling the truth.
Looking at him yesterday, it was obvious that he seemed familiar to me.
Lu Qian also had a disappointed look on his face and didn't ask any further questions.
After Fang Daorong learned about Lu Qian's amnesia, he seemed to lack interest. He chatted for a few words and left.
After Fang Daorong walked for a while.
When Zhou Shuran came over, he saw that the door of the house was open.
Lu Qian was in a daze looking at the beef on the table. He stepped forward and patted him and asked, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Qian was startled.
For Zhou Shuran, he didn't hide anything and told what happened just now.
He just described his time travel as amnesia.
"Then what you mean is that you have forgotten how you entered the palace? And your past..." Zhou Shuran looked at Lu Qian with a hint of suspicion and asked.
Lu Qian smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Zhou Shuran looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Lu Qian shook his head helplessly.
Seeing that Lu Qian seemed sincere, Zhou Shuran said
"Actually, when I saw Concubine Li bring you to Jingxin Garden, I was quite confused! Because in the palace, the status of eunuchs is very strict. From entering the palace, purifying, and then being assigned, you need to verify your identity. It is almost impossible to sneak into a fake eunuch..."
"Isn't it enough to bribe those eunuchs?" Lu Qian asked.
Zhou Shuran listened to Lu Qian's words and said with a smile, "It's not that simple. Not to mention that this is a serious crime of beheading, no eunuch is willing to do it. Even if you can pay the price and bribe all the eunuchs, you can't bribe the steward next to His Majesty. , Eunuch Gao! Because all eunuchs will eventually pass through the hands of the general manager, and Eunuch Gao is the person Xia Jiuyuan trusts the most."
"The problem is, I went to Liyang Palace..." Lu Qian said with a wry smile.
Zhou Shuran nodded and said, "Yes, I asked someone to investigate you! What I didn't expect was that there was a private stamp from Eunuch Gao on your deed! In other words, Eunuch Gao must know that you are a fake eunuch!"
"When I decided to devote myself to you, it was because of Eunuch Gao's private prodding that I concluded that you were not just Concubine Li's male favorite!" Zhou Shuran said with a serious face.
