Chapter 118 Negotiation

Hong Chunman's words were obviously not polite at all.

Fu Yanping did not indulge him: "First of all, except that you sent troops to save us, the rest are all your assumptions and do not exist at all. I hope you understand this."

"Secondly, your country rashly crossed our border and led troops into our territory without our consent or even any notification. This has constituted aggression against our country."

"No matter what your motives are, bringing troops into our country without our consent is considered aggression. I also ask your country to apologize and compensate for this matter."

"Finally, and the most important point. Our Xuefeng Kingdom's General Zhang Weixian has led the reinforcements to the battlefield. The two hundred thousand Xuefeng soldiers can still resist the invasion of the Qifeng Empire and frighten Yanchu Xiaoxiao."

"I think it shouldn't be a big deal to keep some ill-intentioned people who invade other countries without permission."

Fu Yanping's words can be said to be watertight.

First of all, let’s deny a lot of the so-called merits and favors that Hong Chunman boasted about earlier.

Secondly, Hong Chunman’s behavior was defined as aggression, thus regaining the initiative in negotiations.

Finally, Zhang Weixian's reinforcements were used as a bargaining chip, and the threat contained in the statement of facts made Xuefeng, who was originally at a disadvantage, change from passive to active.

Hong Chunman was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Fu Yanping to be so sharp-tongued, and he was able to reverse his decline with just a few words.

"Haha, General Fu is really good at sophistry."

Hong Chunman deliberately added an accent to the word "小", and its meaning is self-evident.

Fu Yanping interrupted his performance and said, "Okay, okay, just tell me your request or purpose."

——He is too lazy to talk nonsense with Hong Chun.

Others dare not offend Xiaoshuang Kingdom, but he does.

He couldn't be happier to face off against this old man.

Unexpectedly, Hong Chunman shocked everyone present as soon as he opened his mouth. They only heard him say:

"Our Xiaoshuang Kingdom wants six hundred miles of land to the west."

"Why don't you say that you want our entire Xuefeng Kingdom?" Helian Wenyu was the first to laugh.

No matter how stupid she is, she still knows what 600 miles is, which is basically equivalent to 1/10 of Xuefeng Kingdom.

The land of Yixi, also known as the Thirteen Cities of Yixi, is the place bordering the northeastern Xuefeng Kingdom and Xiaoshuang Kingdom.

There are dense virgin forests and extremely rich resources of various rare medicinal materials. On the land of more than 13 miles, there are only garrisoned cities. The rest of the place is wilderness and extremely dangerous.

But this is an important barrier for Xuefeng Country.

The natural geographical advantage makes it impossible for the attacker to cross even half a step. Neither siege machinery nor soldiers, armor or food can cross this barrier on a large scale.

The miasma inside made countless brave and skilled soldiers frightened and died here.

Although it is not fully developed here, its high military value and abundant rare resources have always made many people covet it.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to cede this place.

"Then I want four of them, okay?"

Hong Chunman obviously knew that his request was too whimsical, but when it comes to negotiations, aren't they all asking for such exorbitant prices?

Obviously, when he proposed his true intention, Helian Wenyu's expression softened.

In her opinion, the other party's initial intention to cede the thirteen cities of Yixi became four of them, and they had obviously made a lot of concessions.

However, before she could answer, she heard Fu Yanping's voice: "Absurd!!!"

"I really don't know where some people's faces come from, and they don't even look at where they are, so they dare to talk like this." After the wrangling between the two parties, Xuefeng Kingdom did not agree to cede the land in the end, but it still paid. All the expenses for this expedition to the Xiaoshuang Kingdom were paid, and an additional three thousand sets of fine armor were delivered as a reward.

Although it seems like a lot, compared with the price Hong Chun Man Man Tian asked for at the beginning, it is simply as high as the heavens and the earth.

Hong Chun came in with a smile and left with a dark face.

Fu Yanping never recognized him. Fortunately, he seemed to be quite sensible and did not harass Fu Yanping.

After Qi Feng was defeated, he took the initiative to pay tribute to many rare treasures. I heard that among them was a beautiful dancer with a graceful figure, and they had all been shipped to the capital.

Fu Yanping was not interested, but Helian Wenyu was particularly wary of it.

In the previous life, both the emperor's younger brother and the male protagonist fell in love with the dancing girl.

Fu Yanping, who was the consort at that time, took advantage of his great victory to ask the emperor's younger brother to marry the dancing girl to her. In front of everyone in the court, the emperor's younger brother could not refuse, so he had to agree.

At that time, Helian Wenyu felt that her position had been challenged. After the dancer arrived at the princess's house, she began to kneel as a punishment and directly disabled her legs.

Then he slapped and swollen her face for contradicting her and made things difficult for her in every possible way.

She thought Fu Yanping would be angry with her because of this matter, but she was ready to have a big fight with Fu Yanping.

But Fu Yanping just let her do as she pleased and treated her coldly, without asking or caring.

Faced with the situation where Fu Yan usually went to find the dancing girl, Helian Wenyu was furious and finally decided to send the dancing girl away. However, she encountered gangsters on the way and the dancing girl was insulted and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.

As a result, Fu Yanping had a rare quarrel with himself because of this incident and left angrily.

What a hassle.

Helian Wenyu thought to herself, sighed, and thought to herself, if she stayed as far away from Fu Yanping as possible in this life, she wouldn't be affected by this woman, right?

Looking at Fu Yanping and the soldiers who were busy collecting troops and returning to the capital, Helian Wenyu was in a daze for a moment, shook her head, and threw all the distracting thoughts out of her head.

"Your current body, why don't you rest here first?"

Helian Wenyu said.

She was still a little worried about Fu Yanliang's physical condition. After all, Fu Yanping's injuries in that battle were so horrific that being able to save his life was really a blessing from the King of Hell.

She was afraid that by retreating with the army and messing around, old wounds would relapse, which would result in more losses than gains.

Anyway, old general Zhang Weixian can also handle the retreat of the army. Fu Yanping can just recuperate on the spot and wait for his injuries to improve before retreating back to Beijing.

"Then will you stay?" Fu Yanping asked.

Helian Wenyu felt confused: "Why should I stay? Chunhua is still waiting for me to take Tianshan Snow Lotus back to save lives! Human life is at stake, do you understand?"

Fu Yanping's eyes darkened a bit and said, "If you don't stay, why should I stay?"

"No, you are the one who was injured. Why should I stay?" Helian Wenyu couldn't figure out his thoughts, "I told you, Chunhua is still in the palace waiting for me to save her life!"

Fu Yanping just looked at her blankly.

Helian Wenyu was a little confused and said in a suspicious tone: "Are you jealous?!"

——No, no. What am I thinking? How could he be jealous of me?

——What's more, Chunhua is still a palace maid, what's there to be jealous of? I must be thinking too much.
