The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2191 The Duke's Arrival
The rest of the cavalry retreated like a tidal wave of panic.

Qingshan, Ba Buli, and Tie Liduan stood proudly in the smoke and dust, and then floated up to the top of the city.

They are too lazy to chase such a defeated general.

The soldiers of the Diwen Army made a loud cry.

Although they didn't contribute much in this battle, the three of Tie Liduan had already displayed the prestige of Song Dynasty.

Let's see if these white-skinned monkeys dare to be arrogant in the future.

When the people in Song Dynasty heard the cheers, their hearts suddenly let go.Immediately there was also a cheer.

The soldiers at the top of the city cheered so much, it must be that the enemy army has retreated.

These enemy forces are really unbeatable.

Lin Chong looked at the soldiers and horses of the principality going away, and his expression relaxed a lot.

Since the emperor asked Senior Qingshan and the others to take action, then the Great Song City will definitely be safe and sound this time.Before him, the people in the city were more worried.

On this day, the soldiers and horses of the Principality of Genan did not come back after they retreated.

However, the people of Lin Chong still did not relax the city defense of Dasong City.

A few days passed so quickly.

The Holy See finally has a big shot.

To be more precise, it should be a big figure in the Holy See in the Principality of Gonan.

Accompanying them were experts from the Principality of Genan.

Even Stephen, the Duke of Konan, came in person.

Several resplendent carriages were stopped outside Dasong City.

An envoy sang loudly: "The Duke of Genan has arrived."

Because it wasn't a brigade of troops, the officers and soldiers of the civil army of the city defense didn't put on a posture as if they were facing a big enemy.Knowing that it was the Duke of the State, someone went in to report to Lin Chong.

Under Zhao Dongting's instruction, Lin Chong did not do anything wrong, and ordered Stephen and his party to be brought to the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Dongting said: "This brother Nan Guogong should be a lobbyist."

He was right.

After Stephen saw Lin Chong and Zhao Dongting, he smiled and greeted Lin Chong, as if he had never sent anyone to invade Song Dynasty.

This is the respect that strength ushers in.

As for the face, it really doesn't matter to a character at Stephen's level.Unless someone else slaps them in the face, they don't really care about their face.

To be more precise, it is that the skin is already kind to a certain extent.

Lin Chong was even a little inappropriate. Looking at Stephen, who had a kind attitude, he was taken aback for a while, and then asked, "I don't know if the Duke is here, what do you want to see?"

Stephen got straight to the point, "I heard that the city lord left Metropolitan Barbus in the city, and asked the city lord to let the Duke of the country take him back."

Lin Chong showed surprise, and said, "Don't you know the conditions offered by our ambassador?"

The blond-haired Stephen looked at Zhao Dongting who was standing beside Lin Chong, and said with a half-smile, "I guess the ambassador's request for such harsh conditions must be a joke, right?"

After hearing the translation, Zhao Dongting shook his head, "It's not a joke."

Stephen's face became ugly, and he put on the majesty of the Duke, and said: "Norlan Province belongs to the territory of our Principality of Genan, why do you want to go?"

Zhao Dongting replied unhurriedly: "The envoy didn't mean to ask for the province of Nolan, but I just hope that the Duke can give us the province of Nolan for the time being. Now, from the Song Dynasty to this western There are more and more merchants, and the Duke can see that the city of Dasong is already overcrowded if he wants to come. If he can temporarily borrow the Nuolan Province from Dasong, it will be able to further promote the development of the entire Genan Principality. Nan Gongguo is also a good thing, what do you think?"

Stephen frowned, "Even so, just let City Lord Lin communicate with me. Why do you have to use such an unpleasant and unfriendly way?"

Zhao Dongting grinned, "It's all because Babos collided with me. I just wanted to save my Da Song's face."

"But like this, my brother Nan Duchy and the face of the Holy See are gone." Stephen said quietly.

Zhao Dongting shrugged, "If the Duke agrees to my request, I will hand over Babos to you directly. Since no outsider will know, how can I lose face?"

"Can……"

Stephen held his breath in his chest.

His army has been sent over, and it is empty words to say these things now.Face has been lost.

If you compromise at this time, you will only lose face even more.

And this matter is indeed not up to him.

At this moment, the priest in purple robes next to him suddenly stepped forward and said, "In my opinion, it's better for the two sides to compete! If we win, then Metropolitan Barbus will be handed over to us."

He looked at Zhao Dongting domineeringly.

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "What if you lose?"

He really didn't know where this guy's confidence came from.

The bishop said: "If you win, what's the problem with this bishop asking His Majesty the Pope to lend you this Nolan province?"

Stephen introduced: "This is Archbishop Burns of our Principality of Konan."

The archbishop...the status is the same as that of the metropolitan.

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Okay, then follow the order of Archbishop Burns. We will be represented by City Lord Lin."

Burns looked at Lin Chong with a serious expression on his face.

Lin Chong is also famous here.

Back then when he was wandering here, many western masters suffered under his hands.

But in the end, Burns nodded.
