"This is unreasonable! What does Qin Zhao mean by this!" Wu Shiwei was so angry that everyone in the Chinese mission was so scared that they did not dare to say a word.
A few seconds later, Lu Liang, who was most familiar with Wu Shiwei's thoughts, whispered a suggestion, "How about we find a way to meet Emperor Tang again?"
Wu Shiwei's anger dissipated a little, and he shook his head and said, "How many times have we asked to see Emperor Tang, but when has he ever been willing to see us?"
Wu Shiwei paced back and forth, then suddenly stopped and asked others for advice, "What about you? What do you think we should do?"
One of the old men with slightly gray hair adjusted his glasses and said, "Deputy Wu, I think if you want to change the current situation, you can only go to the palace to see Emperor Tang. Although this road is not easy to walk, But it’s the only way.”
"Didn't I say it..."
The old man didn't wait for Wu Shiwei to finish, and interrupted: "At this moment, Emperor Tang didn't want to see us at the beginning, it was before we met Qin Zhao, but now we have been talking to Qin Zhao for a week, Emperor Tang then The edges might be a little loose..."
"How do you say it?" Wu Shiwei heard some tips and asked the old man to continue talking.
"There are rumors in the outside world that Emperor Tang was incompetent and Qin Zhao controlled the government alone. We don't know what Emperor Tang really thought in his heart. Judging from the previous situation, Emperor Tang might be really afraid of Qin Zhao. But how could this be possible for an emperor? If you are really willing to do this, could your previous actions be for Qin Zhao to see? If Emperor Tang has any intentions, isn't our China an opportunity for him? "
Many people in the delegation nodded, feeling that the old man's analysis made sense.
Wu Shiwei said thoughtfully, "Then what do you think we should do next?"
This was an affirmation of the old man, so he naturally lost no time in speaking out. For his short political career in the future, this time is likely to be his last chance.
"Aggravating the bribery to the people in the palace is the way for us to convey information and cannot be let go. The second is to let Emperor Tang know that the negotiations between Qin Zhao and us are not going well, and may even cause great dissatisfaction in China. The most important thing Yes, the relationship between Qin Zhao and Xu Qian must have been known to the Tang Emperor. We can exaggerate it and attribute the reason why Qin Zhao cannot talk to us to the fact that he has been colluding with Xu Qian for a long time, and there is a conspiracy between the two. It is suspected of giving away benefits. If Emperor Tang really intends to get rid of Qin Zhao, then it is impossible not to use the power of our country, and he will definitely receive us."
"Okay!" Wu Shiwei's face showed excitement. If he could succeed this time, he would be killing two birds with one stone. He seemed to have seen the scene where he and Emperor Tang had a drink and had a good time, and when he returned to China and received a strong commendation from his superiors.
At this time, a middle-aged man in the delegation reminded: "But don't forget, Emperor Tang has always been opposed to cooperation with China. In the past six months, the friction between Datang and China was all at the instruction of Emperor Tang. And Qin Zhao has been working hard to ease the relationship between the two countries, and he also proposed that cooperation should be greater than competition."
The middle-aged man's meaning was very clear and reasonable, but at this time Wu Shiwei had a strong opinion on Qin Zhao, and how could he listen to such opinions.
"Qin Zhao is already like this, do you have any other ideas?" Wu Shiwei's words left the middle-aged man speechless.
"Don't say such unconstructive words in the future. Moreover, the comments about Emperor Tang are all based on rumors. Have any of you seen Emperor Tang? Let me tell you, no one in the whole of China has seen him. Whatever he does, Emperor Tang will not do anything. It was Qin Zhao who controlled the image that public opinion created for us. I think Qin Zhao is not a simple traitor but a loyal one. Emperor Tang must go this way. If we just go back like this, how can we live up to the expectations of the Chinese people for us?"
Wu Shiwei's words not only changed everyone's understanding of Qin Zhao and Emperor Tang, but also raised the level of meeting Emperor Tang. Who can express an objection?
At the beginning of the discussion with Qin Zhao, everything was relatively normal. Under the current situation, it would be the most beneficial decision for both parties if Datang and Huaxia no longer fight, but face the fierce and powerful Orc Continent together. This is also the basis for negotiations between the two parties.
But in terms of details, everyone wants to strive for more benefits for their country. The comprehensive strength of Datang was obviously stronger than that of China, so Qin Zhao naturally believed that Datang should receive more benefits. Wu Shiwei came here under orders. In fact, all the requirements given to him by his superiors took Xu Qian into account. Otherwise, there would be no need for the chief, Mr. Ye, to talk to Xu Qian privately at that time. What China wants is conditions that Datang would not agree to under normal circumstances, so they have to play Xu Qian's card. Although it may not be possible, it can still be discussed. But Wu Shiwei just wanted to bypass Xu Qian to talk, and the result was already doomed.
This is also the reason why Qin Zhao didn't go into details after he felt from Wu Shiwei's attitude that they didn't take Xu Qian seriously. If Wu Shiwei and others paid great attention to Xu Qian, and Xu Qian not only saved many towns, but also saved Qin Zhao himself, and also contributed to the Battle of Daling Gorge. In the end, Xu Qian's life or death was still uncertain. For these reasons, it was difficult for Qin Zhao not to make concessions. But Wu Shiwei and others took the initiative to give up these bargaining chips.
Paris France.
Xu Qian and Qian Shu were sitting on the sightseeing bus and were in a good mood.
Qian Shu had a lot of smiles on her face in the past two days. She looked at the man beside her and smiled knowingly when she recalled the conversation between the two that day.
"Tell me, should I go back to China now?"
"You decide your own affairs, why are you asking me?"
"That's right. You will go back with me."
"To me, it's the same everywhere."
"You will go back with me."
"..."
"You will go back with me..."
"Why do you ask?"
"Because you are beautiful!"
"..."
"I finally brought back a beautiful woman from the Ancient Boundary Mountains, and I'm just going to stay in France. Why am I taking advantage of those guys who have one-night stands as their daily routine?"
"I told you from the beginning that you would take me back to China."
"I remember, I was just worried that you would change your mind over time."
"No change."
"Since it hasn't changed, fine, then I'll keep doing it."
"what are you up to?"
"Hey, I won't stop doing it until I do it."
…
Qian Shu finally knows what "doing one thing and doing the other" means. What Xu Qian meant was that since he had already spent a week in Corsica without caring about anything, he might as well spend another week in Paris. In the past, when I read books and watched TV, Paris was described as being so romantic and charming that it was like the Earth. The most unmissable city in the world. Since we are already in France, and France is not a big country, it doesn’t take too long to fly there from Corsica, so we can leave as soon as we can.
Qianshu was not a cold-tempered person to begin with, but an incident caused her to have a serious distrust of others, and she even instinctively used indifference to protect herself, which she was unable to notice. Traveling is always enjoyable, especially the kind that is affordable and takes place in the famous Paris. After being caressed by the Corsican sea breeze, and now influenced by the art and romance of Paris, Qian Shu also temporarily relaxed her mind and body, completely treating herself as an ordinary tourist, enjoying this peaceful moment.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the wall breaking, and a figure fell from a five-story building onto the road, causing pedestrians on the road to scream.
Xu Qian and Qian Shu were naturally attracted, and they both looked towards that figure.
He was a white man, very young, probably around 20 years old, with curly brown hair, not tall and thin.
As soon as this man got up from the ground, several people came out of the building and swaggered up to the young man.
"Nix, I've already given you a punch. As promised before, you should give me the money to participate in the game."
"Rossi, you idiot, I changed my mind. Now I have decided that only if you can beat me can you get the money." The young man named Nicks was proud and arrogant.
"Rosie, you weakling, don't think money is so easy to get. If you have the ability, beat us, otherwise you won't get the money."
Rossi became a little anxious, "But the game has regulations. You are already players. If I fight with you outside the game, I need to pay ten times the money to participate in the game. Unless you promise to give me ten times the money."
"You're dreaming!" Knicks laughed: "If you beat us, you will only get the normal game fee, I will not give you ten times the money. What do you think, do you dare to do it? Hahaha!"
Several others also laughed.
