"The host is busy with his affairs, so I don't dare to disturb him too much."
Kong Ji entered the backyard room with a smile and sat down. Situ Jing made and poured tea with her own hands.
"What's wrong with the Imperial Master's visit today?"
Monk Kongji never hangs around, and big things happen when he comes.
"This matter is a bit troublesome, it's like this..."
Kong Ji explained the cause and effect, and Situ Jing was surprised: "Master Ma, is he such a childish person?"
Monk Kongji shook his head and said: "He also wanted to complete the king's mission, so he came up with this strategy. I would like to trouble the poster to mediate this matter, and I will definitely pay the commission afterwards."
Monk Kongji treated this matter as a business matter.
Situ Jing nodded slightly and said, "This matter is too big for me to make the decision. I must report it to the top for a final decision."
"Of course, I will try my best..."
Monk Kongji knew that Situ Jing was asking for a price and said, "If this happens, the poor monk is willing to pay 10,000 gold coins."
Situ Jing said happily: "Okay, I will report to the peak immediately."
Monk Kongji bowed and immediately returned to the palace to report.
....
Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Sifang Tower.
Zhou Zheng went up to the attic with a letter from Flying Eagle and presented it to Ji Ba: "An urgent letter from Foyuan Tower."
Ji Ba opened it, read the contents of the letter, and said with a smile: "Ten thousand gold coins, this is a good deal."
"Go and call Hong Qi."
Not long after, Hong Qi hurriedly went upstairs and entered the house, and said: "Mr. President."
Ji Ba sent a letter to Hong Qi and said: "Go to Long Chengen and tell him that Xixia does not want to start a war. Let him return to the city and stop hunting in the wild in Nanshan."
Long Chen was hunting and camping in Nanshan, and Ji Ba knew about it.
"President, Xixia declared war in public, and now wants to cease the war in private. I'm afraid Eastern Zhou will not agree."
Western Xia wants face, and Eastern Zhou also wants face.
Xixia cannot start a war when it says it wants to start a war, and stop the war when it says it wants to cease war.
"Tell Long Chengen that this is what I mean."
Hong Qi did not dare to say anything more and bowed: "I accept your orders."
After taking the letter and leaving the attic, Hong Qi took the black man on horseback and rode out of the city towards Nanshan.
....
Nanshan.
A deer slowly emerged from the grass, its ears twitched alertly, then turned and ran away.
An arrow flew by and hit the deer in the neck.
Bai Tingting rode over, picked up the deer on the ground, and said, "Your archery skills are good."
Long Chen put away his bow and arrows and said, "We have enough meat today, let's go back to camp."
The two rode horses for half an hour and returned to a camp near the water. There were blankets on the ground and five tents set up. Wu Xiangyun was lighting a fire to grill fish, and Wu Chuchu was sitting on the shore fishing.
In the water, Di Lingyi and Dugu Jiali were swimming.
The river water was crystal clear. Long Chen dismounted and stood on the bank to admire the spring scenery in the water.
"Wow, what a big deer."
Zhang Qian saw Bai Tingting dismounting with a deer and hurried over to help.
"His Majesty shot him, one arrow sealed his throat."
While they were busy having a barbecue on the shore, Long Chen had already jumped into the water.
Drilling down, he arrived under Di Lingyi. The river water was clear, and Long Chen was admiring it from the bottom of the water.
The jade legs are swimming in the water, and the legs of Emperor Lingyi and Dugu Jiali are the most beautiful.
Dugu Jiali is of Western descent. Her body color is the same as her hair, brown...
"Princess, there is someone peeking under the water."
Wu Chuchu found it on the shore and immediately pointed to the water and shouted.
Emperor Lingyi discovered that Long Chen was below and said angrily: "Get him!"
Dugu Jiali dove into the water and took care of Long Chen with Di Lingyi.
On the shore, a female soldier hurried over and said to Zhang Qian: "General Zhang, Hong Qi, the owner of Sifang Building, is outside asking to see Dazhuguo."
Bai Tingting felt strange, why did Sifanglou come?
"Do they know where we are?"
Wu Xiangyun was a little surprised.
Zhang Qian said: "It's nothing strange. We can't hide our whereabouts. It's not surprising if you know."
Walking to the water, Zhang Qian shouted: "Sir, Hong Qi is looking for you."
Long Chen was having fun when he heard Hong Qi coming and secretly scolded him for being a spoiler.
"Come back and play again."
Long Chen got up from the water, and Zhang Qian brought clean clothes and put them on.
The female soldier led the way, and Long Chen rode over and saw Hong Qi and the black man a mile away, with three guards behind them.
"Master Hong is here to hunt too?"
Long Chen dismounted with a smile, and Hong Qi said alertly: "No one in Dazhu Kingdom can be so free and easy. I'm here to talk about something."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Master, please tell me."
Hong Qi said: "I just received the news from Xixia. I asked our world association to guarantee that the two sides will cease the war."
Long Chen also guessed that Xixia might cease the war through Tianxia's mediation, and this would be the most appropriate way.
"Xixia declares war in public but ceases war in private. I'm afraid it's against the rules."
The declaration of war was made in front of all civil and military officials, but the truce was quietly said. This would make the Eastern Zhou Dynasty lose face.
Hong Qi thought for a moment and said, "Master Long, this is what the president wants!"
Long Chen's face turned cold and he said with a smile: "I see, the president is forcing me to accept it?"
Hong Qi was afraid that he would fall into a trap, so he just said: "I am just conveying the president's intention."
Long Chen was silent for a moment and said: "Tell the president for me that I accept this time. If the world favors Xixia again, Long will take care of it."
Hong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, Long Chen finally gave him face.
"I will definitely tell you."
Hong Qi did not dare to talk to Long Chen and immediately returned to Sifang Tower to return to his life.
Looking at the background of Hong Qi's departure, Long Chen sneered: "It's interesting to play tricks with me."
Back at the camp, Di Lingyi and Dugu Jiali had just come out of the water and were standing on the blanket. They were combing their hair, with their hair hanging on their jade backs. Their figures were extremely attractive.
"Still watching, didn't you just watch enough?"
Dugu Jiali deliberately raised her leg, causing the others to giggle.
"Let's go back. Xixia found Tianxiahui and said that they wanted to cease the war and reconcile."
Di Lingyi turned around and said, "They said they would stop the war?"
Long Chen stretched out his hand to tease the grape seeds, and Emperor Lingyi knocked off Xian Zhu's hand with a palm.
Long Chen smiled helplessly: "We still have to give Tianxiahui face."
Emperor Lingyi was very angry, but had no choice but to do so. The Tianxiahui was too powerful and they would not agree if they came out to mediate.
The most important thing is that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty didn't want to start a war. If someone gave them the steps, they would go down.
“What about this deer?”
Bai Tingting felt it was a pity for such a big deer.
"Take it back and give it to Xiang Ning and the others to try."
Everyone packed up their things and immediately went down the mountain and returned to the city.
Zhang Qian and others returned to Longshuai's Mansion, while Long Chen and Emperor Lingyi entered the palace to meet the saint.
After entering Fengming Palace and seeing the empress, Long Chen paid homage and said, "Your Majesty, Xixia has found Tianxiahui to mediate and wants to cease the war and reconcile."
The empress sneered: "If Xixia says it starts a war, it will start a war, and if it says it stops the war, it will stop the war. Is this contempt for me?"
Long Chen said: "Xixia employs people improperly. Ma Yuan declares war without hesitation, and Shi Le is also very difficult to deal with."
The empress said coldly: "Shi Le hired people inappropriately, and they should bear the responsibility."
Emperor Lingyi and the empress had the same idea and said, "That's right, Xixia caused the trouble himself, so I want to let it go."
"Mother, our troops are strong now. We just take the opportunity to fight and occupy the area outside the Jade Buddha Pass."
Emperor Lingyi felt that it was impossible to destroy Xixia, but it was still possible to capture some places.
The empress ignored the emperor's order and asked Long Chen: "What do you think?"
Long Chen said: "It can be regarded as a face to the Tianxiahui."
The empress' face was cold and she didn't speak.
"Lingyi, you go out first."
Di Lingyi curled his lips and went out unhappy.
Every time there was something important, he kept her away. Emperor Lingyi felt that Long Chen had a better relationship with the empress.
"what do you think?"
The empress knew that Long Chen was not a soft-hearted person, and he would not give anyone face.
There must be a reason for agreeing to Tianxiahui's mediation.
