"How... how is it possible!" King Sang Nan shouted out of control, "You and Fang Chuning... you are..."

He was stunned and in disbelief. His whole person seemed to be in a sluggish state. The folk customs in Beining were so traditional. They had grown up under the strict rules and etiquette of the clan. Fang Chuning was still the only child of the commander and would be responsible for it in the future. How could the Zhongxing family have an affair with Xie Jue?

Was Xie Jue lying to him on purpose?

King Sangnan thought carefully about Fang Chuning and Xie Jue. They seemed to be stuck together all the time. They were inseparable at the palace banquet, and they talked quietly in private, pretending to be no one, and they were extraordinarily close. At that time, he also thought about Xie Jue and Xie Jue. Fang Chuning grew up together and went through life and death together on the battlefield in Ningzhou. They may have a better relationship than others, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. He didn't think about the relationship between men and women. Now that he heard Xie Jue talk about having an affair so lightly, He seemed to have gotten to know Xie Jue again.

But he was not ashamed or guilty when he talked about it, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, which made King Sangnan wonder if he was bluffing him.

But it’s not necessary!

"Because you ignored dissuasion and announced your identity, the relationship between the two clans is tense now, and troops are increasing on the border. What should you do? My brother has a bad temper, is monopolistic, and has a strong desire to control. You announced the identity of my Sangnan royal family. His identity has not been informed to him, which he considers to be a provocation. It is not so easy to calm down his anger. News of the reinforcement of troops on the border has spread to Sang Nan. It seems that Dugu Jing and the Marshal's army are already at the border. Assembling, the navy will also start dispatching. Should we continue the peace talks? Or should we not talk? You have to give me a word after all, right?" Xie Jue looked at the anxious face of King Sangnan calmly.

Step by step, he led King Sangnan to play with fire and burn himself. Xie Xun also cooperated very well. Now King Sangnan is riding a tiger and is in a dilemma. Whether he declares his Zen position or withdraws his order, he is in a dilemma.

King Sangnan met with Xie Jue in private. He originally wanted to sow discord and instigate brotherhood between Xie Xun and Xie Jue, but now Xie Jue turned against him. His mood was extremely complicated, "Because Xie Xun sent troops to scare me, the Sangnan throne that originally belonged to you, You don’t want it anymore?”

"Why should I anger my own brother? Once he takes over the throne, Sang Nan will be bleeding like a river. The two clans will definitely go to war, and the people will be devastated. Is this what you want?"

"You are his only brother, there is no way he would send troops to attack you!"

"Now that all the troops have been assembled on the border, you can't open your eyes and tell lies. I know Zhixu's temper better than anyone else. Since he has sent troops, he is not pretending to scare you. The food and baggage of hundreds of thousands of troops is a large sum of money. He just After ascending the throne, everything is waiting for improvement. If we don't want to raise troops, how can we send troops to the border, which is a waste of money and effort." Xie Jue said lightly, "You might as well think about what to do, if you don't want to fight."

"This throne is yours, and I will give it to you. What you want to do is your business!" King Sangnan made a desperate move, still not believing that Xie Jue had no interest in the imperial power.

"Then you are trying to force someone into a difficult position. I will not accept your throne unless you kill me. I will die in Sangnan. A war will begin on the border immediately. None of your royal family will be able to escape. Zhixu will not only kill all your sons, but also your Grandson, I won’t even let your daughter go.” Xie Jue said calmly, “You might as well listen to my advice.”

King Sangnan was so angry that his chest heaved violently. Looking at Xie Jue's dazzling face, he felt disgusted, "I'd like to hear what you have to say!" "You surrender. Bringing Sangnan back is your only way out. I can guarantee it. , as long as you surrender, Peony City and the three surrounding cities will be your fiefdom, and you will be the only vassal king in Beining. You just can no longer govern Sangnan, but you have no power, no shortage of money, no worries about food and clothing, and children and grandchildren around you. Knee, we will not kill all the Northern Barbarians. The leader of the army this time is Dugu Jing, and we will not take action against Sangnan. As long as I am here, the Sangnan royal family will be rich and carefree for a lifetime. This deal will be good for you. It's a good deal for me. If we really have to fight to the death, it will be difficult for you and it will be difficult for me. After all, I don't have many relatives in the world. Although I don't have a deep relationship with you, we have some blood relationship after all. I don't want you to be Zhixu kill them all, this is the safest plan at the moment, you can discuss it with the high priest and several princes."

King Sangnan just wanted to keep Sangnan, so he would rather give up the throne to Xie Jue, so how could he agree to surrender? If he surrenders, he will be a sinner of the Sangnan royal family and a king of subjugation. His pride will not allow it, and neither will his self-esteem.

Xie Jue's goal is to get King Sangnan to surrender.

Moreover, constant pressure was exerted on him, forcing him to surrender voluntarily, or else he would be defeated.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, I understand that from your standpoint, you hope that I will bring Sangnan and surrender. But if you think about it, if one day Beining's national power weakens and is cannibalized by neighboring countries, will you also persuade your brother to surrender and become the king of subjugation? ?" King Sangnan said in a sad tone, "I can abdicate the throne to you, because you are of the blood of the Sangnan royal family and are purer than us, but I don't want to surrender. If I surrender, what will I have to do to meet my ancestors in the future? ? Just tell me, if one day Beining faces such a situation, will you also Xie Xun surrender? Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you!"

"From my standpoint, there are no assumptions about the emperor's salary, loyalty to the emperor, and political affairs. I don't know what decision I will make when it comes to life and death. I only know what I have to do now? The road has to be walked step by step. There is no way. Don't worry about what happened." Xie Jue was very calm and was not affected by King Sangnan. He insisted on his lobbying, "If you are bloody and want to rise up to resist, then you can conquer it yourself and bring 200,000 Sangnan soldiers with you. We went to resist Beining's army, but you have just suffered a defeat and your morale is low. If we really have to fight again and you still lose, what's the point? All the soldiers died resisting Beining, leaving behind the old, weak, women and children. The most important thing is Sang Nan and Beining are different from Beining and Beiman. We are brothers, but we were ceded decades ago. Sangnan and Beining are family, and Beining does not want to fight against each other!"

When Xie Jue came out of the palace, Fang Chuning was waiting for him outside. When he saw Xie Jue, he quickly came up to him and asked, "How was the talk?"

"Not optimistic!" Xie Jue shook his head gently, "He is more stubborn than I thought."

"Pressure has been exerted on the border. The Sangnan royal family absolutely does not want to sit still and wait for death. I am afraid that they will jump over the wall and take you as a hostage. The emperor will not dare to take any action even if he is afraid of taking action. The two sides will have no choice but to remain in a stalemate at the border."

"It doesn't matter, Sang Nan's return is just incidental!" Xie Jue said calmly, "In this small place, there are no elite soldiers and generals from the Northern Barbarians, and there are no red sand mines from the Northern Barbarians. It's not that important. Since you are stubborn, then Just use it up slowly." (End of Chapter)
