I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 841: If we can reach an agreement, then we can talk. If we can’t, then we can fight.
The small meeting was temporarily over, and it was agreed to negotiate with the people of Mobei, but many details and things that might happen, how to deal with them, etc., all need to be discussed in the next meeting.

This matter ranks among the top priorities in Jizhou at the moment.

Yu Yunwen was old and walked slowly with a cane. Du Yu wanted to help him but was pushed away by Yu Yunwen. He looked at Du Yu and said, "I am so useless? Do you still need my help?"

Du Yu smiled and stood aside and stopped helping.

Du Yu had great respect for this old man who had always been in Yuzhou and had prevented Yuzhou from being invaded by Li Nishang and other aristocratic families.

Moreover, Yu Yunwen can be regarded as Du Yu's teacher. Before he passed the imperial examination, he often listened to Yu Yunwen's teachings and learned a lot of knowledge.

In the past, Yu Yunwen lived in Qincheng, the second city of Jizhou.

Du Yu was personally in charge of the recovery of Jizhou, and Qincheng naturally could not be left behind, so Yu Yunwen went to take care of it. Moreover, Qincheng was close to Yanzhou City, so it seemed that he was taking care of Qincheng, but in fact, Yu Yunwen also had to take care of Yanzhou as well.

The burdens borne by these two officials ranked first and second in Yan territory are heavier than anyone else's. It is only thanks to Your Majesty that the officials from Goguryeo and Joseon were transferred from other places early on to share some of the burden, otherwise the two of them would be even more tired.

The officials in the hall were leaving one after another at this time. They all had their own things to do and there was no need for them to stay here.

Yu Yunwen glanced at Ning Shuang, one of the eight warriors and the female vanguard general, and asked, "Just now when I mentioned 20,000 heads, I saw General Ning frowned, and throughout the whole process, the three of you military generals didn't say a word. Do you think that Helian Qin alone can't be exchanged for those 20,000 heads?"

Ning Shuang has a strong body, much stronger than ordinary women. Although she has a knife hanging on her body, in fact, Ning Shuang is more proficient in two short spears. In addition to the knife, Ning Shuang usually carries two short spears crossed behind her back.

When Ning Shuang heard the governor speak, he clasped his fists and said, "I dare not say anything nonsense, but I think that when Mobei hears this news, they may think that we are deliberately making things difficult and have no intention of negotiating, so they will not continue the talks."

Yu Yunwen glanced at Ning Shuang and scolded with a smile: "If Meng Qin was here, you would at least get slapped."

Ning Shuang frowned, not understanding the meaning of these words: "I am stupid and don't understand what you mean."

Yu Yunwen said, "General Ning, find someone to spread the news privately, saying that the Mobei people want to negotiate with us and intend to use the lives of Zhang Jue's generals and soldiers to exchange for Helian Qin."

Du Yu smiled and looked at Ning Shuang: "It would be best if they are willing to change, but it doesn't matter if they are not willing. The important thing is to let those 20,000 people know that without Zhang Jue, they are just bargaining chips for the Mobei people."

Ning Shuang suddenly realized and immediately clasped his fists.

On the other hand, a general who was even smaller than Ning Shuang frowned and said, "Will the Mobei people take this opportunity to attack us in the streets, saying that we forgot about the dead civilians when negotiating with the Mobei people. This will incite the people and make them hate us."

Wang Shao, one of the Eight Generals, is also the only one of the Eight Generals who has the title of Jinshi.

Du Yu shook his head: "Then just assume that they don't want to talk and cut off one of Helian Qin's arms and send it over. The initiative lies with us, not the Mobei people."

Wang Shao was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Lord Du meant. He also knew that he was worrying too much, so he clasped his fists.

Yu Yunwen looked at Qi Qi who had been following him: "Why don't you ask me what I called you here for?"

Qi Qi immediately bowed and said: "Whatever you two gentlemen tell me to do, I will do my best to do it. I dare not ask any more questions."

Yu Yunwen smiled and said, "You are just like that, so your grandfather asked you to come to Yandi, old man, you are quite cunning, but with Qi Pei and you, your Qi family can be saved. But since everyone knew to prepare a backup plan, you shouldn't have made such a fuss in the first place. After all, your grandfather couldn't resist the temptation."

After saying this, Yu Yunwen looked at Qi Qi and said, "Although Du Yu and I will participate in the negotiations, we two will not say much. You go and discuss this matter with the people of Mobei."

Qi Qi's pupils suddenly dilated and he immediately bowed: "Sir, I am only a county magistrate, I can't do anything."

Before he finished speaking, Du Yu said, "You are from the Qi family. Although the Qi family was saved, nearly half of the people were in trouble. The people of Mobei are very clear about this matter. Whether it's me, Lord Yu, or General Li, General Meng, or other prefects, the people of Mobei know you very well. After you appeared, they got to know you, and what they knew was that you were a girl who wanted to make achievements for the Qi family and save the family. Therefore, you are easy to deal with in their eyes. And it was not our plan to let you come. Originally, we had other candidates."

Qi Qi looked at Du Yu. What Du Yu didn't say was that someone had told these two people to let him be the official in charge of this negotiation.

who
Yu Yunwen looked at Qi Qi's expression and said with a smile: "It looks like a big deal, but in fact we are all here, and you are the one who is pushed out in public. Besides, Du Yu and I can't make the decision on this matter, so there is no need to feel burdened. Besides, Lord Pan is on his way and should be able to arrive tonight."

Qi Qi looked at Yu Yunwen, then at Du Yu, bit his lower lip, and bowed immediately: "I will do my best and not bring disgrace to Daxia."

Yu Yunwen smiled and said, "This is the style of your grandfather. When your grandfather was the Minister of the Honglu Temple, he was so elegant that he could sit alone at the table facing the envoys of twelve countries and overwhelm them alone. Among them was Mobei, and some countries even sent ninth-rank masters. The old man scolded them so hard that they dared not say anything more."

Then, Yu Yunwen said, "Go ahead and take a rest. You must be tired after traveling all the way. Take a good rest."

The old man looked at Qi Qi with a smile.

Du Yu smiled and nodded.

Qi Qi bowed to the two of them, as well as Ning Shuang and Wang Shao, then turned and left.

But I have so many thoughts.

After all, who is the person who asked me to do such a thing, and it was someone who recommended me, grandpa?
Qi Qi didn't think it was his grandfather. After all, although his grandfather still held an idle position in the court, no one cared about him. Even though he was better than the one from the Zuo family, many people avoided him. Only people of Lord Yu's status dared to mention him, let alone say a word or two.

Looking at Qi Qi's back, Yu Yunwen said nothing.

Du Yu looked at Yu Yunwen: "Sir, this way?"

Yu Yunwen knew what was going to happen, so he handed the cane to Ning Shuang, then stroked his beard and straightened his clothes.

After he had packed up, he didn't even pick up his cane, but looked at Du Yu and said, "Let's go."

Du Yu hesitated to speak, then nodded.

Xia Fengxiang was in the garden at the moment, holding a piece of paper in one hand and a bracelet in the other. He looked at the paper and saw that it said, "Wife, this is from the long-legged girl."

There was a peach heart painted on the bottom of the paper, and the words "I love you~~" were written on it.

Very corny.

Seeing this, Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes for no reason and felt disgusted.

An old couple is still doing this, how shameless!
After folding the papers and putting them away, he also put away the seemingly ordinary foreign bracelet.

People have been sent to investigate this woman, so there is no rush to find out anything.

It’s not that I’m worried or jealous.

If she was jealous of such a thing, then what would she be? Besides, she was just joking. She saw Su Changan acting like a scoundrel and just pretended to be jealous and beat him up.

The better that person is to me, the more I feel I can't be jealous of him. All I can think about is myself. It's so annoying!

Investigating that woman was just for safety's sake.

Then he turned and looked towards the garden entrance.

Yu Yunwen, Du Yu and others arrived at the entrance of the garden and naturally saw Xia Fengxiang.

Yu Yunwen looked at the Empress of Great Xia, whom he had not seen for many years. The old man watched as Her Majesty tried to walk faster, and the more she walked, the more her originally hunched body tried to straighten up.

When they were less than a few meters away, Yu Yunwen bowed to Xia Fengxiang and said, "Your Majesty."

But just opened his mouth.
Xia Fengxiang had already come to Yu Yunwen's side, and stopped Yu Yunwen who was about to kneel down to salute him, and said with a smile: "I didn't ask Mr. Yu to kneel, so there is no need to salute."

Yu Yunwen looked at Xia Fengxiang.

As a teacher of elementary school, he taught books such as Xia Fengxiang's "Encouraging Learning".

Looking at Xia Fengxiang now, there is no immaturity on his face. He said casually, "I didn't let you."

It already exudes an imperial aura.

Yu Yunwen smiled, stood up and looked at Xia Fengxiang. If His Majesty didn't allow him to kneel, then he wouldn't kneel, but the etiquette was indispensable: "Your Majesty, I, Yu Yunwen, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Xia Fengxiang said, "Sir, please stand up."

Yu Yunwen stood up and looked at the empress with some excitement, then he tremblingly took out a book without a title, and then said: "I promised Your Majesty that I would write a book of my own thoughts, but now I still haven't finished a book. Most of the content is my insights on the trivial things in people's lives. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Xia Fengxiang didn't take the booklet, but looked at Yu Yunwen: "Sir, you didn't take the cane, do you mean you can continue writing?"

Yu Yunwen bowed and said, "I still have some strength left."

Xia Fengxiang smiled and motioned to Du Yu, Ning Shuang and the others to bring stools over.

After helping Yu Yunwen sit down, Xia Fengxiang said, "I have no intention of letting you return to Beijing to retire. Lord Du said that we can't do without you here, so I can only trouble you to work for a few more years."

Yu Yunwen looked at Xia Fengxiang and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, at his current age, he was actually too old to live in a place like Yan. He was afraid that he would be taken back to live in retirement. When he heard this, his face was filled with joy.

Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Besides, sir, your legs and feet are not in good condition, so there is no need to force yourself to come here. Just take your time."

When Yu Yunwen heard this, he smiled awkwardly and said, "It really hurts."

Xia Fengxiang helped Yu Yunwen sit down, but he didn't say anything yet.

Saw Yu Yunwen looking at him.

He immediately understood what Yu Yunwen meant, so he smiled and said, "I'll let you see the queen when she comes back. She's outside now."

A look of disappointment appeared on Yu Yunwen's face.

He really wanted to meet the Queen.

Xia Fengxiang sat down and said, "Li Xuance and Han Kuang will be here soon, and the eunuch Lu Cai will be here too. If there are things you want to do but can't ask, just tell that kid to do it. Han Kuang will also be included in the list of candidates for negotiations. Pan Zhao, Han Kuang, and Qi Qi will be enough. The one coming from Mobei is Helian Chucai, you just need to discuss the terms of the negotiations. I have only one request, that the people should not be in chaos."

After saying that, Xia Fengxiang added: "If they intend to rescue Helian Qin by force, let them do whatever they want. They have their own way, and we have many seniors in the courtyard next door. And Aunt Yan will be here soon, so let them do whatever they want."

When the four heard this, they stood up and saluted in response.

Ning Shuang looked at the Queen of Great Xia and said with some concern: "Your Majesty, if Shizhong is allowed to join the negotiations, I'm afraid his temper will cause trouble."

Han Kuang, whose courtesy name was Shizhong.

Xia Fengxiang said: "That's why we let him join."
