Someone immediately agreed with Gu Mohan, "The Ninth Prince is right! Prime Minister Jiang, you are so steadfast in your oath, what can you do in the face of these difficult situations?"

"That's right, your back doesn't hurt when you stand and talk. If you have the guts, hit one and let me see!"

"If you can't speak, stop talking. No one will think you are mute!"

The invectives came overwhelmingly towards Prime Minister Jiang. Prime Minister Jiang looked embarrassed and could not express his anger.

Feng Yang and Ye Qianfeng couldn't help but smile.

Except for the princess, no one could expect any tenderness from Gu Mohan. Besides, he probably wanted to rescue the princess more than they did.

Qin Yinyuan's eyes kept falling on Gu Mohan. His eyes narrowed heavily, not knowing what he was thinking.

The arguments among the courtiers became louder and louder. It was still the two groups on opposite sides arguing just now, waiting for Qin Xiao's order.

Gu Mohan saw that the momentum was good, and his clear eyes fell on Qin Xiao, "My son is just a suggestion. The final choice must be made by the father."

"But right now, we don't have much time left."

Qin Xiao's heart was in torment, and he was really wavering and couldn't make a choice.

I think he was also an ambitious emperor at the beginning, but as he grew older, this ambition seemed to have diminished a lot. In such a huge defeat, what was the best thing for Tian Sheng? As an emperor, he should think about it. You should stop paying for your own ambitions.

His fingers tapped on the dragon chair again and again, his eyes swept across the noisy crowd in the hall, and finally fell on the arrogant Feng Yang and Ye Qianfeng, and his eyes darkened fiercely.

Even if his mentality has changed now, he is still dissatisfied with the behavior of the people in Daxia.

It was obviously a defeated country in the past, but it is so arrogant today, it is simply arrogant!
  Forget it about Nan Wanyan, she is his daughter-in-law after all, he can give him some face, but these people...

His eyes flickered and he made up his mind, slapping the table hard, "Okay, stop arguing!"

The hall immediately fell silent, and everyone stared at Qin Xiao eagerly.

Qin Xiao glanced at Gu Mohan, then looked at Feng Yang and others, "Since you said it was Lu Yilan's idea to negotiate peace, then wait until when he arrives and when he lets you see Nan Wanyan again, and then we can talk!"

The courtiers had different thoughts and looked at each other.

During the peace negotiations, the two sides can have a truce, and they can take a breather, and maybe there will be other opportunities.

Feng Yang and Ye Qianfeng were slightly displeased. Just as they were about to retort, they saw Gu Mohan secretly wink at them.

The two of them could only stand still and replied calmly, "Okay."

"When the third prince arrives in Tiansheng, let's sit down and have a good talk!"

Qin Yinyuan rarely spoke much today. His eyes lingered on a few people for a long time, enigmatically.

This matter was settled for the time being. Qin Xiao was also tired. He frowned and urged Gu Mohan, "In that case, Su'er, go and arrange the residence of the envoys."

Gu Mohan nodded slightly, a dark color flashed across his cold and narrow eyes, "Yes."

The emperor threw up his sleeves and left, and Qin Yinyuan followed silently. After they left, the other officials sighed and left one after another.

Prime Minister Jiang was the most angry and aggrieved. Not only did his daughter not come home all night, but she was now causing trouble with the people of Daxia. Tiansheng had not benefited at all.

He walked up to Gu Mohan and others with an ugly expression, snorted coldly, "Heaven wins the chaos, everything is as the Ninth Prince wished, are you satisfied?"

Gu Mohan glanced at him with narrow eyes, ignored him at all, turned and left, and said to Feng Yang and Ye Qianfeng, "Let's go."

Prime Minister Jiang's face was livid, he almost couldn't breathe, and he watched several people walk away angrily.

After Gu Mohan and others left the hall, several Daxia soldiers immediately gathered around and asked questions expectantly.

"How's it going?"

Feng Yang and Ye Qianfeng looked at Gu Mohan in tacit understanding. With him here, they seemed to subconsciously regard him as their backbone.

Gu Mohan pursed his thin lips lightly, and a hint of darkness flashed across his deep and dark eyes, "The situation is not optimistic, but it is still relatively clear. We will wait until we leave the palace."

Several soldiers looked at each other and nodded with trepidation, "Yes."

Gu Mohan led a few people to the most prosperous inn in the capital and settled down for the time being.

At this moment, several people gathered in a guest room. There was hot tea on the table, but no one was interested in drinking the tea. They were all staring at Gu Mohan. One of the Daxia soldiers couldn't hold it back anymore and asked anxiously and impatiently, "Your Majesty, can the princess be released by Tiansheng's people?"

Feng Yang and Ye Qianfeng were also very concerned and waited for Gu Mohan's answer.

Gu Mohan tapped his slender fingers along the edge of the table and said in an unhurried tone, "Don't worry, no matter what, I will never let anyone hurt her."

After saying this, several soldiers finally felt at ease and let out a long sigh of relief.

He is worthy of being the emperor of Xiye. Even though Gu Mohan has just recovered his memory not long ago, he still feels the same when talking and doing things.

Inexplicably, it makes people very confident.

Feng Yang's brows have been furrowed since she left the palace. After hearing what Gu Mohan said, her beautiful brows darkened and there was a coldness all over her body.

"Having said that, I don't think Qin Xiao's attitude is clear today. We have all been forced into this situation, but he is still unwilling to let go. He insists on waiting until the third prince comes to talk."

"If it drags on any longer, the safety of the princess cannot be guaranteed, and we will have no choice but to use force."

The soldiers were filled with indignation and rage.

Gu Mohan's handsome eyebrows were twisted, and the phoenix eyes under his eyelashes were deep and cold. He took a deep look at Feng Yang.

"I don't know what instructions the third prince gave you, but now you should not act rashly before Tiansheng and the army come."

"Besides, I didn't expect to win Tiansheng in one fell swoop today, so using both soft and hard tactics is our best plan."

"A combination of soft and hard tactics?" Everyone wondered at the same time, but Ye Qianfeng's eyes flickered and he looked at Gu Mohan with deep meaning, "Could it be that the emperor meant..."

Gu Mohan bumped into Ye Qianfeng's light brown eyes, and felt more and more familiar that this person looked familiar, reminding him of Wu Feng who had followed him for no reason.

He half-squinted his eyes, but didn't ask. He nodded slightly and said, "Yeah."

"That's what I have in mind. Now that the hard measures are over, it's natural to use some soft measures. I can't help but leave it to you."

Ye Qianfeng understood, "I understand, let's do it now."

Then, he turned around and left the noisy inn.

Several soldiers and Feng Yang were confused as they listened to Gu Mohan and Ye Qianfeng playing riddles.

"What exactly does the Emperor want to do?"

Feng Yang and several Daxia soldiers were confused and didn't understand what Gu Mohan meant by this move.

But when they saw the man lowering his eyes and drinking tea with ease, they calmed down...

In the palace, Qin Yinyuan followed Qin Xiao back to the imperial study. He saw Qin Xiao upset and overturned the memorial, sat down, and stared at him with resentful eyes.

Qin Yinyuan had not seen him like this for a long time, and raised his long eyebrows slightly, "Why is the emperor so troubled?"

Qin Xiao sighed, rubbed his temples and complained in a complaining tone.

"Everything is happening like a flood, fast and unprepared. How can I not be bothered by you?"

"Chong Lin, let me ask you, am I really old? Today in the court, I can't even stand up to a few young people, and I even made them arrogant!"

Qin Yinyuan looked at him. The iron-blooded and cold-blooded emperor in the past was now like a boy who was troubled by troubles, and couldn't help but laugh.

He whispered a few words of relief, "It's not that the imperial brother is old, young people are frivolous and speak without discretion, and Feng Yang and Ye Qianfeng are relying on the alliance between Xiye and Daxia, and we have no chance of victory, so we are so arrogant. "

"Really..." Qin Xiao didn't know whether he was talking to himself or responding to Qin Yinyuan's comfort.

He waved his hand and motioned Qin Yinyuan to sit over, "Come here and sit with me for a while."

Qin Yinyuan went to his side with a calm expression. Seeing Qin Xiao pouring another drink, he frowned and pressed Qin Xiao's hand, "Drink less."

After all, it was his brother's advice. Qin Xiao, who had always been a heavy drinker, actually listened to it for the first time and retracted his hand after muttering twice.

"I just can't understand. A few days ago, the armies of Xiye and Daxia were thousands of miles away from Tiansheng. How come in the blink of an eye, all the envoys were already there? Is there such a lack of news about Tiansheng?" (End of chapter)
