low-key is king

Chapter 729

"This Fan Wenjing is really not easy to fool!"

Long Bi was silent for a while, and the faces of Guoshi Yaoli and the next Prime Minister Wei Zhao were also extremely ugly. They all knew that there might be no room for change in this matter.

"Your Majesty, this special envoy has limited time, and the Lord is still waiting for my news!"

Fan Wenjing, the special envoy of the Lianchi Kingdom, was confident. He was not afraid that the other party would not agree. Compared with ceding ten cities, the destruction of one country was naturally much more serious.

Which is more important between the two, these high-level executives of Youlong Kingdom will not be unclear.

"If this drags on, if the master changes his mind, it may not be something that ten cities can solve!"

Fan Wenjing continued to put pressure on Long Bi and others. This is called the national power is not as good as others, and they can only be forced to drink water by holding the bull's head.

If Youlong Kingdom is also the overlord of neighboring countries, with a super strong army and more high-end combat power, how can it be afraid of a mere Lianchi Kingdom?

It's a pity that this is the strife between the peripheral countries. Since the overall national strength and high-end combat power are not as good as Lianchi, the only choice left for Long Bi may be to compromise.

"Okay, then..."

Just when Long Bi pondered for a while, and decided to cede the eight cities including Shanguan City to Lianchi Kingdom, the special envoy Fan Wenjing suddenly raised his hand, stopping what he wanted to say.

"Sorry, the lord may have other instructions, His Majesty Longbi should wait before making a decision!"

Hearing what Fan Wen said out of Jingkou, and seeing the Shuiyue mirror he took out from his wrist, all the civil servants and generals of Youlong Kingdom were heartbroken, and they all guessed that things might change.

If the opponent changes his mind and increases the original number of cities, or directly overthrows the previous agreement and enters Youlong Kingdom, then their previous hesitation and bargaining will become a big joke.

Swish!
The water-moon mirror in front of Fan Wenjing is obviously a mother-child water-moon mirror, and it is a mother-child water-moon mirror that can transmit messages over a long distance.

In fact, this is a waste of money, and what is consumed is not ordinary high-grade gold beads, but more precious jade beads. One can imagine how urgent the other party's news is.

"Lord!"

Fan Wenjing's title for Lianchi Monarch is a bit different from other vassal states, but it is also closer.

He is indeed one of Lord Lianchi's confidantes, otherwise he would not have been sent to do such a big event.

An army that surrenders without fighting, can take eight cities of Yulong Kingdom without bloodshed, including a strong city of Guanguan, which has laid a solid foundation for Lianchi Kingdom to attack Youlong in the future.

It has to be said that Fan Wenjing accomplished it very beautifully. The task given to him by Lianchi Lord was five cities including Shanguan City, but he took down eight cities.

Presumably after going back this time, I will definitely be able to go further.

But Fan Wenjing couldn't figure it out, did the lord not believe in his own strength, or did he really change his mind, that he wanted to send a message to Shuiyuejing at such a high price at this time.

"Fan Wenjing, go back home immediately, let's forget about the previous matter, and also, say hello to Brother Long Bi for me!"

From the water moon mirror in front of Fan Wenjing, a few lines of small characters emerged, and when the special envoy of the Lianchi Kingdom saw these lines of small characters, his whole body froze for an instant.

The words "let go of the previous things" are extremely eye-catching, and what shocked Fan Wenjing even more is the words "Brother Long Bi".

In terms of national strength, Lianchi country is far above Youlong country.

In the past at the Lianchi Kingdom's court meeting, when the Lianchi Kingdom's monarch called Long Bi, he often called him by his first name, and sometimes even replaced it with "that guy".

This is the attitude of the king of a strong country to the king of a weak country.

But now, according to the news from the water moon mirror, Lord Lian Chi actually called Long Bi "brother", which means too much.

The goal of Fan Wenjing's trip is to gain control of the northwest region of Youlong Kingdom, so as to lay the foundation for the future development of Lianchi Kingdom.

Seeing that the mission was about to be successfully completed, such news suddenly came from Lian Chi Guojun, which caught Fan Wenjing a little off guard, and he didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

No matter how Lord Lianchi changed his mind, Fan Wenjing would not be so surprised and lose his composure even if he had already led his troops to the territory of Youlong Kingdom. However, this order was beyond his expectation.

As for the other ministers from You Kingdom, they naturally also saw the small words on the Shuiyue mirror, and they looked at each other in blank dismay, completely unaware of what happened?
"Master, I need to confirm again!"

After a long while, Fan Wenjing finally came back to his senses. He took a deep breath, and then breathed out, and replied a message on the Shuiyue mirror. He had to confirm the authenticity of this order.

"Just do what you are asked to do, there is so much nonsense!"

But this time, the text sent by Shuiyuejing didn't seem as friendly as before. It seems that the person on the other side of Shuiyuejing was a little angry. Did the jade beads really come from a strong wind?
"If you dare to violate it, you will punish the Nine Clans!"

Just as Fan Wenjing digested the sentence just now, there was another flash of light on the Shuiyue mirror.

But this time, the seven words finally made the special envoy of the Lianchi Kingdom tremble, and he dared not have any doubts.

"What the hell is going on here?"

But Fan Wenjing couldn't figure it out, what happened to change the winner's attitude, and even seemed a little afraid to offend You Longguo, which really drove him crazy.

All the monarchs and ministers of the Youlong Kingdom looked at each other, including the monarch Long Bi, who just stared at the water and moon mirror blankly, as if he wanted to pass through the water and moon mirror to see that Lianchi monarch, why is he so condescending?
"Envoy Fan, what do you say now?"

Prime Minister Wei Zhao reacted faster than Long Bi. At this time, a smile appeared on his face, and Fan Wenjing almost couldn't hold it back, so he slapped him directly.

If it was before, even if Fan Wenjing beat Wei Zhao in front of the crowd, the other party would have to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, not daring to resist at all.

But now, even if he borrowed Fan Wenjing's courage, he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore!

Who knows what happened to Lianchi Country, or some other accident that Lianchi Country can't afford to provoke?

"Heh...heh, in fact, the lord was just playing a joke with your country. Your country and our country have been neighbors for generations, and we are each other's lips and teeth. I hope this brotherhood can be maintained forever!"

Fan Wenjing, who has always been articulate, felt that his words were leaking, but he really couldn't find anything to say. This was like slapping himself in the face.

Fan Wenjing's radical change of attitude made You Long and his officials feel at ease, but they also wondered what it was for, and some unknown major event must have happened in the middle.

"what?"

And at this moment, just when the Monarch Long Bi was about to say something, his face suddenly changed, followed by a flip of his palm, and a mirror exuding a special aura also appeared.

"Is it the princess who sent the message back?"

The Guoshi Yaoli next to him had always watched Lilong Princess Long Zhijun grow up, and when he saw Longbi sacrifice the water moon mirror, he couldn't help but blurted out his heart.

One must know that even if they are the rulers of a country, they are extremely distressed about the consumption of jade beads for such a long-distance transmission of news, and the transmission of idle news will not be so extravagant.

But Princess Lilong is Long Bi's most beloved youngest daughter, and she broke up with her when she was just 16 years old. During this period of time, he has always missed her very much.

At that time, Long Bi told Long Zhijun that if there is something important, it must be sent back in time. Even if You Longguo, who is too far away, can't help, he can still know his recent situation.

But at this moment, Long Zhijun suddenly sent back news that the attitude of the special envoy of the Lianchi Kingdom had changed drastically. If there was any connection between the two, Long Bi would not believe it anyway.

"Father, don't read, my daughter is fine, and will marry His Majesty Emperor Daxuan in a few days and become the imperial concubine of Daxuan!"

On the water moon mirror, one or two lines of small characters soon appeared, and when Long Bi saw these two lines of words, he felt dazzled and misunderstood, so he couldn't help but read it again from the beginning, and even recited it silently. speak out.

"Emperor Concubine Daxuan? The princess... is going to become Empress Daxuan?!"

At this moment, the national teacher Yaoli next to him, and the prime minister Wei Zhao below were all stunned. Everyone stared blankly at the two lines of small characters, feeling extremely shocked and emotional.

"I see!"

Fan Wenjing, the special envoy of Lianchi Kingdom, finally understood why his lord suddenly changed his mind, and even spoke politely to Lord Youlong.

It turned out to be Princess Lilong from Youlong Kingdom, who was about to become the concubine of His Majesty the Great Xuan Emperor.

That's Emperor Daxuan, presumably from now on, You Longguo will also soar into the sky, right?

All the small peripheral countries can be said to be the vassal small countries of the Daxuan Dynasty. Although the Daxuan royal family will not meddle in a country's internal affairs casually, no one can really ignore this behemoth.

Among other things, even if the Daxuan Dynasty sent a strong man from the eight realms, they might be able to wipe out the royal families of these small countries, and it would not be difficult to choose another royal family at that time.

Moreover, Fan Wenjing also knew that Emperor Daxuan's concubine was not comparable to those low-ranking concubines. She was one of the real power holders in the harem, second only to Empress Daxuan who was the mother of the world.

Fan Wenjing had heard of Princess Lilong's name before. It was said that she had left Youlong Kingdom for less than a year. How could she change herself into the Great Concubine Daxuan in such a short period of time?

Although he couldn't understand it in his heart, Fan Wenjing knew that You Longguo with this level of relationship was no longer something that Lianchiguo could handle casually.

Even future actions may depend on You Longguo's face.

Thinking of this, Fan Wenjing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, secretly thinking that it's a good thing things didn't get out of hand, otherwise, even if he could return to Lianchi country alive, he might not be able to live without it.
