Liu Yucheng's expression changed drastically, and he knelt down on the ground: "I don't have any other plans, I just think that Beidi..."
Pei Huan interrupted him again: "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, and I don't care what you think? Liu Yucheng, put away those childish ideas of yours. Next time, I will kill you directly."
Liu Yucheng lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
Pei Huan shook his head secretly, then waved him away.
Song Shuwan had been watching from the side, and only then did she speak: "Why did the Crown Prince come so fast?"
Pei Huan softened his expression: "I came over immediately after hearing what Shan Hai said. Wan'er, you have worked hard these days."
Song Shuwan shook her head gently: "It's not hard, but there are too many things. I'm afraid it won't be easy for the prince to handle it, right?"
"There is nothing difficult to deal with. They are all matters. Just solve them one by one."
Pei Huan said something comforting, and then asked about the location of the Tatars.
Song Shuwan glanced at Shanhai, who understood and left, and when he came back, he already took Lu De with him.
"Rudd, the guard beside Her Majesty the Queen, has met Prince Pei."
Pei Huan raised his hand slightly: "No need to be polite, I already know the purpose of your coming here, but the conditions for this alliance must be according to mine. The silver, grain and grass must be halved. As for the medicinal materials, I will prepare them for you. But to take it away, you have to bring someone.”
Rude didn't expect Pei Huan to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, his face turned dark.
"No, the prince's condition is too exaggerated. Our Tatar sons are not easy to take action."
Pei Huan smiled and picked up the bowl where Song Shuwan poured hot water for him: "You can refuse, but Hu Na, have you thought about how to respond?"
Rude said without hesitation: "Of course you are reporting it truthfully. Even if you are the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you would not be able to ask me to agree to such outrageous conditions. I believe that Her Majesty the Queen will not agree to it either."
Pei Huan laughed at the two impossibilities in succession, his scrutinizing eyes fell on Rude, and he moved his fingers again.
"Are you sure that Queen Huna will refuse this condition?"
Rude held his head high and said, "Needless to say, Her Majesty the Queen will never agree."
"Even if the cities on the Tatar border have already killed tens of thousands of people due to the plague?"
When these words came out, Song Shuwan couldn't control the expression on her face.
"Is there a plague on the Tartar border?"
Rude looked at Pei Huan in shock: "How could you know about the Tatar border?"
Pei Huan rubbed his fingers, not knowing what to say to the man named Rude in front of him. Does this man have no brain at all? How dare Hu Na send such a person here? Isn't she afraid that Rude will delay the negotiation between the two parties?
Or is it that Hu Na didn't care about the outcome of Rude's negotiation from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Pei Huan felt a little more cautious.
"Do you Tatars really want to join forces with Zhou?"
Rude was still in shock, but after hearing the question, he immediately replied: "Of course it is sincere. We Tatars do what we say and will never fool our friends with our words."
Don't you know how to fool your friends with words?
Pei Huan lowered his head slightly and brought the topic back to the conditions.
He insisted on cutting it in half, which made Rude very anxious. He wanted to get angry several times, but he managed to hold back his anger.
Seeing that it was almost morning and the negotiations between the two parties still had no results, Song Shuwan suddenly coughed twice. When everyone looked over, she pointed to the door.
"It's almost dawn. Since we can't discuss it now, how about we go take a rest first and discuss it later?"
Rude wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I think it's okay."
Hearing this, Pei Huan also nodded.
Then Song Shuwan stood up and sent Lu De away, then looked back at Pei Huan with a silent look on her face.
"The prince is not afraid of telling Rude that he is in a hurry and asking him to go back directly?"
Pei Huan raised his eyebrows: "If he dares to go back, Hu Na can chop off his head immediately."
Song Shuwan was stunned. After reacting, she couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with the plague on the Tatar border? The reason why Queen Huna mentioned two things is because of the plague?"
"I don't know much about the plague. I only know that the situation there is very bad. It is precisely because of this that Hu Na wanted to come over and get involved."
Song Shuwan's expression became solemn: "Is the Crown Prince planning to help?"
Pei Huan didn't answer but asked: "Do you want to help?"
Their eyes met.
After a long time, Song Shuwan tilted her head without saying a word.
Pei Huan sighed: "I know you want to save people, but the current situation is not something you can save if you want to. Wan'er, the situation in Dazhou is worse than that of Tatar. We have to ensure that Dazhou is stable. , so that we can allocate manpower to take care of Tatar affairs."
Song Shuwan felt helpless: "In the eyes of the Crown Prince, am I such a person who doesn't care about reality?"
She is kind-hearted, but she is not a bad-hearted person either.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore, but if the prince insists on his conditions, the queen may not give up."
"She doesn't need to give up."
Pei Huan stood up, the sun rose outside the house, and the bright light fell, dispelling the chill of the night and the heaviness that weighed on people's hearts.
Song Shuwan followed Pei Huan out of the room and saw busy people everywhere.
At this moment, a man discovered Pei Huan. He looked at it several times in shock and rubbed his eyes several times before he was sure that he had seen it correctly.
"Prince Pei, it's Crown Prince Pei!"
Just a few words attracted everyone in the valley.
Song Shuwan's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously pulled Pei Huan away. However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Pei Huan was caught.
The next moment, the two people were surrounded by people swarming in.
"Prince Pei, did you come here today to tell us that you have taken back Anyuan City?"
"Yes, you must have come here to talk about this, right?"
"When will we return to Anyuan City?"
Each person's words are inseparable from the three words Anyuancheng.
Song Shuwan looked at their happy faces and felt very heavy because Pei Huan didn't come here because of the matter of Anyuan City's withdrawal.
As time passed, the surrounding gradually became quiet, and the people also realized the situation. The smiles and expectations on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by heaviness.
Song Shuwan suddenly became nervous. Their expectations had failed. Should they take action? There are only a few of them, and if the people really want to take action, they can't stop them.
At this moment, Pei Huan said: "Unfortunately, I am not here because of your expectations, but I am indeed walking around for Anyuan City. I don't want to talk nonsense, but I can tell you that taking back Anyuan It won’t be too late in the city, so you can stay here with peace of mind, and you will be able to return to Anyuan City in a short time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "The Crown Prince said this won't take long, how long is it specifically?"
