Emperor Qi Yinglong dared to come to him alone.
And he did not act like an emperor at all, but took the initiative to bow and salute, calling him a senior.
Such a straightforward courtesy was somewhat beyond Gu Dan's expectations.
It seems that Daqi's emperor's head is not that strong.
"Moqiu's best friend."
Gu Dan still introduced himself like this. It didn't matter whether he told him his name or not. What mattered was his attitude.
The attitude he showed was because of the Mo Qiu incident, and he was not prepared to let himself be famous all over the world. Even if several countries figured out who he was, they would understand because of this attitude that he did not want to be exposed in front of others, let alone To make a big splash.
"I have heard the name of Mo Qiu a long time ago, and he is called a saint. However, the sky is high and the sky is far away. I can only hear a few words from a few words, and I don't know that the true saint appears in the world. If the envoy of the Big Moon hadn't come to visit and heard about the affairs of the Mohist family and the actions of the Mohist family, I don’t know how much time I will miss.”
Qi Yinglong's face was full of annoyance and remorse, without even the slightest hint of pretense, as if he was trying to please his heart, "When I learned that you were coming, I had already rushed to welcome you, for fear of neglecting you in the slightest, and I hope you will forgive me for any inconvenience. "
His words were crisp and clear, seamless, humble and respectful.
Not only did he not have the airs of an emperor, but he was afraid that he might have thought that he was some modest student asking for help from his teacher, so he kept his posture extremely low.
As the most powerful country around Oyue, Qi Yinglong clearly understands the meaning of the saying that strength is truth.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
After making various preparations and fully considering the opinions of the seven masters, I still chose to give up.
It would be better to bet that the other party is not a mass murderer.
First of all, you must lower your posture and never anger the other party.
Gu Dan's reaction also made Qi Yinglong feel a little relieved. At least he didn't come here to kill him, otherwise it would really be a dead end.
"There is no need to mention these words again. Do you know why I am here today?"
Gu Dan was not interested in listening to Qi Yinglong's carefully prepared words. He just waved his hand casually and stopped his next words, "If you don't know, you might as well let me tell you."
He looked at the masters with an extraordinarily warm smile on his face.
That smile was clearly friendly and kind, but it made several masters couldn't help but turn their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
This ruthless man killed five grandmasters on his own, and he still looks unscathed now!
Can it be won with seven masters?
Even that is unlikely.
If not, Emperor Daqi would not have chosen to bow before speaking.
The emperor's life is life, but the grandmaster's life is not life, right?
How many grandmasters would want to risk their lives until absolutely necessary?
I didn't even touch it, and I was afraid of others. If I didn't look down, I was asking for trouble.
But even if he was prepared in his heart, Qi Yinglong couldn't stop complaining when he heard Gu Dan speak so directly. He was really sure that he had completely grasped them, otherwise how could he be so aggressive?
"A few people have understood the ten principles of Mohism and feel that they are infinitely profound. It sounds simple, but it is too difficult to achieve it. It is not that I have no desire to learn, but that I have no guidance from experts. It is pitiful."
Qi Yinglong's thoughts changed quickly, he sighed, and waved to the hall.
The Big Moon Messenger, dressed in moon-white clothes, walked over quickly, looked at Gu Dan with admiration in his eyes, and presented a stack of paper to Gu Dan with trembling arms.
With a quick glance, you can see irresistible gold, silver and jewelry written on the paper, as well as a large amount of money, grain, livestock and other items.
"I have a weak moral character and dare not act presumptuously. I am deeply ashamed of the attack on Dayue. These compensations were carefully negotiated between me and the messenger of Dayue. They are absolutely not false. I just want to use them to make up for the people of Dayue first. I am in pain, and if I have offended anything, I hope you will give me some advice."
Qi Yinglong said with sincerity.
"Big Moon Messenger?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly. Where did a messenger from Da Yue appear from within the Great Qi Palace?
The messenger of Dayue quickly bowed to him and said nervously, "I am sent by His Majesty to discuss the armistice with Emperor Daqi. Just when the news of your coming came, Emperor Daqi took me and told him a story. There are many stories about Mozi.
these things"
He raised the paper in his hand. The paper was soft, white and smooth, with a durable color. It was thin and slender. He could hold it in his hand and it felt as if it was as heavy as a stone.
"Emperor Daqi and I have carefully discussed these things. I cannot make the final decision on these things to compensate for the losses of Yuzhou and Yangzhou. You still need to take a look at them."
The Big Moon Messenger said with great respect.
When he was lying in the stable with no one paying attention, he even thought about dying, but what happened next was far beyond his expectation.
He, who was originally unknown, suddenly became the guest of Emperor Daqi. Not only did they hold candles and talk at night, but the information gleaned from him was even used to compensate Da Yue!
That's right, it was Da Qi who compensated Da Yue! !
The fact that Yuzhou and Yangzhou are not enough has long become a thing of the past.
When he came, he was even prepared to be humiliated to death and even be infamy for eternity. How could he have expected that such a change would happen.
He naturally understood why all these changes had taken place. It was precisely because the strength of the man in front of him was enough to threaten the ruler of a country.
When you are weak, you can only look at other people's faces; when you are strong, others will try their best to curry favor.
He could not have been more deeply touched by the changes during this period.
Envoys are, at best, called bridges of communication between the two countries, but at worst, they are nothing more than a sounding board.
Even he himself was deeply frightened that Emperor Daqi directly used his opinions to draw up compensation. However, when he actually saw the compensation, he couldn't help but be stunned and in disbelief.
Without him, what Emperor Daqi gave him was so generous!
If Yuzhou and Yangzhou also have a "price", then what is written on this seemingly thin piece of paper is enough to buy all of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, and there will even be a lot of surplus!
As long as these things are realized, they can directly support a small country that is not much weaker than Vietnam!
It’s not an exaggeration to say that we are sincere!
It was also because of this that he was willing to stand up and help Emperor Daqi deliver the compensation to Gu Dan.
These things, it is not an exaggeration to say, can wipe out most of Daqi's treasury directly. It is more appropriate to use sincerity to describe it.
And this doesn't even require Gu Dan to take action again, he can do it just by relying on the remaining power of the formation to kill the five masters!
Xun Ke on the side also walked up at this time, took the paper from the hand of the Big Moon Messenger, and only glanced at it briefly, but he couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes.
It can only be said that Daqi, the most powerful country in the surrounding area, is so generous even when it comes to compensation, without being stingy at all.
"This is my sincerity and compensation for the country that gave birth to saints."
Qi Yinglong also looked at Gu Dan nervously.
He asked himself about his etiquette, attitude, and sincerity, and tried his best to show them all. If he could make up for the trouble he caused this time, it wouldn't be a big loss.
After all, if you walk a lot at night, you will inevitably bump into ghosts.
Even if the heavy bleeding caused Daqi to break his muscles and bones, it was still better than being showered with blood.
Seeing him eagerly waiting for Gu Dan to speak, even Xun Ke found it difficult to equate him with the Emperor Daqi who was even more hateful than Emperor Zongming in his heart.
Xun Ke asked himself, if he only had to pay compensation, he might not be able to ask for so much even if he opened his mouth.
Gu Dan took the written compensation from Xun Ke and quickly read it over. The expression on his face did not change at all. After turning over the last page, he looked at Qi with a calm gaze. Ying Long.
Emperor Daqi's palms were squeezed together tightly under his sleeves. He had never been so nervous in his life. Even on the day he ascended the throne, he never felt restless.
Everyone's eyes were focused at this moment. As long as Gu Dan nodded, the confrontation in front of the palace that had a strong smell of gunpowder would disappear.
"not enough."
Gu Dan said.
"Um?"
This time, it was not only Qi Yinglong who was stunned, but even Xun Ke, who had seen the compensation, secretly widened his eyes.
The six grandmasters who were originally staying in the palace but had not come out heard these two words and stepped out, their eyes becoming unkind.
They asked themselves that they had shown the greatest sincerity, hoping that the other party could also turn a big thing into a trivial matter. Feng Qingyun quietly put this matter aside. From now on, you will take the narrow Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge. Hello. Hello everyone.
Who would have thought that in the face of such great sincerity, the other party would not be satisfied!
"This is already 60% of Da Yue's treasury. In order to facilitate Da Yue's reconstruction of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, we have sent a wide variety of craftsmen without Da Yue's support. We ask ourselves that we have shown the greatest sincerity."
Xue Wenjian's eyes flashed, and his voice was slightly cold, "These compensations are enough to make up for the loss of Da Yue. The surplus will be used as punishment for us to lightly open the station. I hope you will not be aggressive. You will bite the rabbit when it is anxious." A human being, let alone a master?”
"This is absolutely true."
Grandmaster Daqi who walked out of the palace also echoed, "We didn't treat you lightly, so why would you embarrass Daqi like this? We have tried our best to compensate you, and there is absolutely nothing perfunctory about it. No. It is to allow you to be merciful and to be merciful to others, and I pray that you will reap the consequences, but you have not rejected the bitter consequences, so why do you have to force me so hard?"
"This compensation is enough to create a small country again. The Daqi soldiers only set foot in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and the compensation from Yuzhou is more than enough. Since you call yourself 'Moqiu's best friend', you should also The only thing is to agree with the philosophy of Mohism. Sixty percent of the national treasury has left Daqi with severe injuries, and it will take several years of cultivation to get better. If this is still not enough, how should the people of Daqi live their lives?"
This time, before Emperor Daqi could speak, the several grandmasters who were brought in to help could no longer hold back and spoke one after another.
There were threats, pleas, or simply using the name of the Mo family, trying to persuade Gu Dan from different directions.
Facing the roar of the Grand Master, Gu Dan glanced at them all and ignored them all. He didn't care about their opinions at all and just said simply and directly: "I said, it is not enough."
The originally comforting voice suddenly stopped.
The cold wind of winter blew in, and it felt cold on the exposed skin of the person. A chilling atmosphere enveloped the place unconsciously, and time seemed to be frozen here with the arrival of the cold wind, making people almost suffocated.
"ha"
During the stalemate, Daqi Emperor Qi Yinglong was the first to laugh dryly, with a dry smile on his face, "Since Daqi provoked this matter in the first place, naturally it should not be left to Daqi to have the final say. What do you think is not enough? How about you decide?"
"You think about it for yourselves."
Gu Dan waved his hand casually and said in a particularly domineering manner: "My request is to satisfy me, that's all."
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Qi Yinglong's mouth twitched immediately, and he was stunned.
'To my satisfaction and nothing more'?
It's simple to say, it's already 60% of the wealth of Daqi's treasury, this is not satisfactory, what is satisfactory? !
The biggest request is to ask without asking!
It would be an understatement to describe it as unreasonable.
They didn't even give me a blank piece of paper, they just said they were dissatisfied.
How can I satisfy you? Why don’t you tell me!
It’s not like Daqi doesn’t have money, and it’s not like he won’t give it, so why be so difficult?
"What exactly do you want, you might as well explain it more clearly, so that we can think about it carefully and see if we can come up with it for you!"
Xue Wenjian, who originally had a good attitude, no longer had any good looks at him. Even if he knew that the other party was extremely powerful, he couldn't bully others like this!
No matter how you say it, Daqi can be said to be a wealthy country with a strong army. If he is really forced into a hurry, I dare not say that a million troops can bury him. There is nothing wrong with destroying Dayue directly!
No matter how powerful a person's force is, he has not yet reached the level of an immortal. It is indeed very effective to threaten the top level, but if all the lower levels are forced to survive, it will be a big deal and nothing will be gained. !
Even if you force people, you still have to have a certain degree of control!
"Then it depends on what you can give."
Gu Dan shrugged and said calmly, "Give it until I'm satisfied."
That's too much! ! !
Several grandmasters have already clenched their fists.
Xue Wenjian was even more angry and laughed, "If you are still not satisfied with the addition of my Daqi to the country, do you still have to destroy my Daqi?"
Gu Dan said without hesitation: "Yes, it is possible."
"you"
Xue Wenjian was furious, and the majestic energy and blood suddenly rose up. His clothes rustled, and his cold eyes fell on Gu Dan, already showing an unbearable murderous intention, "I also want to see, your Excellency, attack Is the killing of five grandmasters true?"
What responded to him was Gu Dan's calm gaze, and he didn't even bother to speak.
"enough!"
Emperor Daqi Qi Yinglong shouted loudly, stopped Xue Wenjian's movements, turned to look at Gu Dan, and said: "This matter is serious, I need to send someone to invite the officials from the Ministry of Revenue to discuss it in detail, I'm afraid I'd like to trouble you to wait for a while."
After a pause, Qi Yinglong gritted his teeth and said, "I hope the result this time will satisfy you."
