After the assassination incident at the State Banquet in the Palace of Light, the officials did not dare to mention it too much. Most of the officials thought that the mastermind behind the scenes was Tianmendao. They knew that the Ministry of Punishment would interrogate the captured assassin, but they did not know what happened next. Not many people know. *

The presence of assassins at the state banquet is naturally not a decent thing for Daqin. Honglu Temple Minister Zhao Xuan was killed by the emperor himself and his family was put on death row. The officials naturally kept silent about this matter and did not dare to talk about it. What is discussed in private is how much compensation the Xiliang people can finally get from Daqin.

In fact, the officials of the Xiliang people are all more or less aware of the fact that the lions of the Xiliang people have opened their mouths. They all think that the people of Xiliang are really whimsical. There is no need to compromise with the Xiliang people. With that kind of national strength, it is completely possible to compete with the Xiliang people in the northwest.

Although Maha Zang said in public that a result would be negotiated within three days, but everyone only thought that Maha Zang was nothing more than a whim at the time, and no one thought that a result could really be negotiated within three days. Willing to be taken advantage of and let Xiliang slaughter at will, Xiliang people will definitely not miss this great opportunity, they will definitely get entangled, the two sides will come and go, entangled, and the entanglement will wear down the other's patience little by little to see who can't hold on in the end.

Bai Linxi is a master negotiator recognized by the empire. Back when the emperor went south and north, he had to make contact with various forces or allies or friends or fight or force Bai Linxi, but at that time the most negotiators with various forces were some who were patient. Everyone thought that the negotiations would at least continue. For more than half a month or even longer, what surprised everyone was that Xiliang and Daqin finally reached an agreement at the negotiating table within three days after the Guangming Temple incident.

The speed of the negotiation was astonishing, and the result of the negotiation also surprised many people. The people of Xiliang seemed to have no patience. In the end, they finally made concessions. The Qin State also made certain concessions. In addition to the 500 million taels, it is necessary to provide a large amount of food and grass for the withdrawal of the Xiliang cavalry.

The state of Qin agreed to the conditions, but proposed the delivery procedure of 500 million taels of silver. The empire must pay the first batch of compensation of 200 million taels of silver in three years. It will be shipped to the northwest with Princess Daqin when Princess Xiliang arrives in the northwest. It was then transported to Xiliang State as the betrothal gift of Princess Daqin. (Just find the material of the novel)

As far as the grain and grass are concerned, it is naturally impossible for the Qin State to deliver them in one go according to the amount proposed by the Xiliang people. They will be delivered in batches. Every time a batch of grain and grass is delivered, the Xiliang army will have to withdraw part of the army. The iron cavalry will be divided into ten batches and withdraw from the northwest.

Qin State naturally also considers that once the country is sexed once.Delivery of food and grass. The people of Xiliang have enough food and grass. It may not change their minds. After all, the two parties have never had an official agreement before, and no one can guarantee that the people of Xiliang will backtrack.

Although the negotiating team represented by Gusa Heiyun argued for a while, they finally accepted the conditions proposed by Qin State, and the next day after the negotiation was concluded, the Xiliang Mission left Luoanjing under the leadership of Gusa Heiyun. Returning to Xiliang, everything seemed very sudden. Although the people of Xiliang explained that Prince Maha had been brooding over the Guangming Palace incident and did not want to stay in Luo'an, he just wanted to rush back to Xiliang as soon as possible, but the officials of Qin State knew this in their hearts. I'm afraid there is another secret behind it.

Regardless of the reason for the success of the negotiation, Bai Linxi has made a contribution. At least the people of Xiliang asked for 2000 million taels, and he finally negotiated for 500 million taels. For this reason, the Emperor of Compromise rewarded the negotiating team headed by Bai Linxi.

Xue Huai'an, who was proud of Bai Linxi's scenery, was indeed extremely depressed.

Xue Huai'an, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, actually had a very complicated heart.

He was indeed frightened by the assassination of the Guangming Palace, but afterwards he felt that the peace talks between the two countries might collapse.

It's just that in the end the Xiliang people reached a peace agreement with Daqin in an extreme time and left Luo Anjing in a hurry to return to Xiliang Xuehuai'an, and their mood suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The success of the peace agreement also means that he must lead the mission to Xiliang.

Thinking of the long road ahead and the uncertainty of life and death, Xue Huai'an lamented and felt that his luck was at its worst, and after the Xiliang mission left Beijing, His Majesty the Emperor immediately issued a decree to order Xue Huai'an to prepare for the mission immediately. [Just find the material of the novel]

The purpose of this mission is to go to Xiliang to propose a marriage to marry the princess of Xiliang Daqin claims to be a kingdom of heaven. To marry a princess in Xiliang is naturally necessary to prepare generous gifts for marriage proposal. Fortunately, these are the things within the etiquette. The specifications are full for three carriages, and some rare treasures and antique paintings are indispensable.

Chu Huan was much more relaxed before he left as the deputy envoy, but what he was most worried about now was how to settle Mo Lingshuang.

In fact, Chu Huan never told Bai Xiazi and others about his mission to Xiliang before, until the peace agreement was finally reached and the Xiliang mission left Chu Huan.

After Bai Xiazi learned about it, he immediately prepared to pack his bags, and Sun Zikong was unwilling to ask Chu Huan what he wanted to bring.

After Ling Shuang found out about this, she seemed a little sad. Chu Huan was sent as a deputy envoy to another country, which was a state affair. Even if she wanted to follow her as a woman, she couldn't do it. Thinking of how deserted the mansion would be after Chu Huan left, she felt a little sad. Sadly, and she also knew that Chu Huan's mission this time would not come back within ten days and half a month, and even if it went well, it would take three to five months to complete nearly half a year, and she would be alone in the mansion.

Chu Huan originally wanted the two blind men to stay in the mansion to take care of them, but the blind man was determined to follow Chu Huan to think about it. Chu Huan took the blind man to buy two little girls back home.

In fact, many parts of the empire are already poor, and it is nothing new to sell children and daughters. In Beijing, there are many special places that buy people from various places at low prices and then sell them to dignitaries at high prices in Beijing to serve as slaves. It's a high price, but for the high-ranking officials and nobles, the price of buying slaves is very cheap. A juicy girl can get a few tens of taels of silver and a hundred taels of silver.

Chu Huan spent 150 taels of silver to buy back two beautiful maids, both of whom were under 20 years old. Although they were ordinary in appearance, they were smart and watery. This was the first time in Chu Huan's life that he bought maids for his family.

He now has hundreds of catties to support the two maids, which is more than enough. At first, Ling Shuang didn't understand why Chu Huan bought the maids, but soon realized that Chu Huan bought the maids not for himself, but for her to have two smart little girls. Naturally, the girl's company won't be too deserted.

Chu Huan even specifically went to find Wang Fu, the head of the Ximen Department, and asked him to take care of the first and second princes. Naturally, he patted his chest and agreed to Chu Huan's envoy to Xiliang. He, a small department head, actually didn't know that this was a dangerous trip. I just feel that Chu Huan is able to represent Great Qin as an envoy to Xiliang in such a short period of time. In front of him, Sun Jingyi and the other three Wujing guards will only guard Chu Huan's mansion day and night from now on.

There are more than 30 people in the Ximen Office, and now Wang Fu dispatched four people to protect the Chu Mansion, but it is also a matter of convenience.

Maha Zang claimed that three months later would be Xiliang's wedding ceremony, but the Daqin Mission did not dare to delay Xue Huai'an's preparations for the mission, and then reported to the emperor the schedule for the mission. He and Chu Huan were summoned to the palace again and asked: "I have high expectations of you when I go to Xiliang this time, and don't let me down!"

The two of them naturally claimed that they were going to die before they died. The emperor said again: "You have traveled thousands of miles to Xiliang. I have selected [-] elite soldiers from the guards, and Xuanyuan Sheng will lead you to Xiliang."

Chu Huan was a little surprised. He knew that this trip to Xiliang would naturally have elite guards, and he had even guessed that elite guards would be selected from the guards, but he did not expect that the commander of the guards sent this time was Xuanyuan Shengcai.

The mission did not go out with much fanfare. Until the day of the mission, many officials did not even know that the Daqin Mission was going to Xiliang today.

Xuanyuan Shengcai led 300 elite guards, all of whom were in tiger armor, with bows and sabers on their backs, and their armor was distinctive. They also deserved to be the elites of the Great Qin.

Although Xue Huai'an is the envoy, he also selected a few officials from the Ministry of Rites to follow him. After all, if he really arrived in Xiliang, there would still be many complicated things. Even if a warrior arrives in Xiliang and he is only one official, many things will naturally be much more difficult to deal with.

He selected five or six officials from the Ministry of Rites to go to these officials to pay respect, but in his heart he scolded Xue Huai'an's eighteen generations of ancestors all over the place.

In addition to this, there were more than 300 people under the mission, including five carts of goods and the drivers driving the carts.

All the members of the mission are strong Northwest horses with excellent endurance.

Bai Xiazi and Sun Zikong are going to follow Chu Huan to Xiliang. Chu Huan also told them about the difficulty of the journey and even said that there is a possibility that there will be no return. The two of them were going to be Chu Huan's personal companions, but Xue Huai'an didn't say much, but he hoped that the more people he would follow, the better. One man and one more protection would be something he could only wish for.

In the early morning, when the mission departed from the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, there was no lively scene. On the contrary, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were cleared away. Hubu Lang Wuxu brought several officials of the Ministry of Housing to see off the mission from the long street, Youchang, to the north of the capital. When they rushed out to the North City Gate, they found a black carriage parked beside the North Gate. Apart from the driver wearing a bamboo hat, there were three other men in black jackets and hats riding tall horses to see the embassy coming. A rider had already rode to meet him, Xuanyuan Sheng was just about to send someone to stop Chu Huan, but before urging his horse, he staggered with the man's horse, stopped and approached each other and whispered a few words, the man nodded slightly, cupped his hands to Chu Huan, and even put his hat on Press it down and gallop back to the side of the black carriage.

Xuanyuan Sheng was a little surprised that Chu Huan had galloped over to approach Xuanyuan Sheng before he lowered his voice and said, "General Xuanyuan, that Chu Baihu who was the Shenyi Guard just now was ordered by the saint to accompany the mission!"

Xuanyuan Sheng was a little astonished, but since Chu Huan said that, he didn't say much. Seeing that the black carriage was sealed tightly, he didn't know if there was someone sitting in it, let alone who it was.

After the mission went out of the city for a few miles, Chu Huan looked back at the majestic and majestic Luoanjing under the dawn. The city was still the same city, but Chu Huan couldn't be sure if the old man was still the same when he came back from Xiliang?

Looking up at the sky at dawn, the dawn is shining on the desert thousands of miles away from the earth, wondering if there is such a peaceful and elegant dawn?
