Chapter 814 It's reversed, so what? !
The night in the northwest is heavier than splashed ink.

Before dawn, the eagle fluttered across the sky, and saw veterans playing Qiang flute on the tower.

Such as resentment, such as admiration, such as weeping and complaints, it sets off the cold and lonely night.

In the Gobi desert in the sky, there seems to be an army marching at night, with a man holding a horse with a bell, but it stirs up the rolling yellow sand, winding without end.

It circled and stopped at the City Lord's Mansion.

The sun rises.

Xue Zhimei wore a Daqi official robe and sat upright in the hall.

Xiao Tingchen still sat behind him as an interpreter, drinking tea calmly.

Today is the formal signing of the treaty between the two countries.

Opposite the Daqi officials, the Beiliang missions were lined up, also sitting upright, just waiting for their king to arrive.

A quarter of an hour later, Jin Shixing came with Xu Nuanyue in his arms.

The man lifted his robe and sat down, and gave the civil servant a look.

The civil servant spoke the Central Plains dialect very fluently, and said solemnly: "Master Xue, my king has read the covenant you submitted yesterday, but he is not satisfied with some of the conditions."

"I don't know what the conditions are?" Xue Zhimei said cheerfully, "The covenant is only the first draft, and it can be changed later, but you just say it's okay."

The civil official said seriously: "First, Daqi is willing to cede the Hexi area to Beiliang. This is wrong. Hexi has already been occupied by Beiliang, so how can we cut it off? My king thinks that Hexi, Boyuan, Liang The three big cities of the state belong to our Beiliang territory together, so it is considered appropriate. Second, Daqi and Beiliang are brotherly countries, and they pay 50 taels of gold, 200 million taels of silver, and [-] catties of tea to Beiliang every year. , [-] bolts of silk. My king believes that Daqi is not sincere in seeking peace, at least double the annual tribute, and then compensate me for all the military pay for this expedition in Beiliang, then it will be considered a sincere peace."

He closed the notebook, "What does Lord Xue think?"

Cold sweat broke out on Xue Zhimei's forehead.

Although he had expected Beiliang to be demanding, but the terms he offered were already quite generous. He never expected that Beiliang's appetite would be so big that he would open his mouth to ask for three big cities!
Bo Yuan could say, as for doubling the annual tribute, it would be easy to solve it, wouldn't it be better to just share it among the people's taxes?
But Liangzhou...

Yuan Meng's old bone must not let go.

He looked at Jin Shixing with a smile on his face, "Other conditions are easy to talk about, but Liangzhou has been my Daqi territory for thousands of years, I'm afraid it can't be as the king wishes..."

Jin Shi woke up expressionless.

The big palm caressed Xu Nuanyue's waist, he admired the girl's stunning face, and he didn't seem to pay attention to Xue Zhimei at all.

Just at this time, half of the head poked out from the side of the fan.

Su Jiu held the tender green paper kite and waved it towards Xu Nuanyue.

Xu Nuanyue was slightly taken aback.

She tugged at Jin Shixing's skirt, the man looked up at Su Jiu, then at the yearning look of the girl in his arms, and finally let go.

After stroking Xu Nuanyue's temple hair, he whispered: "Come back early."

The girl got up and stepped out under the curious gazes of everyone in the hall.

Su Jiu held her hand, glanced at the maidservants from Beiliang who were inseparable, and said warmly: "It's early spring, I saw that no one had released paper kites in Boyuan City, so I specially made one last night. Nuanyue, let's wear these kites." It's inconvenient to wear a dress, how about going to the dormitory to change the dress?"

Xu Nuanyue didn't know what her idea was.

Pursing her lips, she nodded.

The spring breeze is light.

She was held by Su Jiu's hand and walked all the way through the long Chaoshou veranda.

She never asked Su Jiu what she planned to do, but being able to run in the wind holding hands with her former sisters, her heart that had been dead for so long seemed to come alive again.

The surrounding scenery seems to become vivid and bright because of this.

Flowers have no reopening day, and people have no youth.

The road she is going to go leads to the underworld. From now on, she probably won't have the chance to play with Susu and Baojin again, right?
At this time, the hall.

The staff brought by Xue Zhimei did not agree to cede Liangzhou, but Beiliang insisted on getting Liangzhou. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and fell into a strange silence.

Xue Zhimei is well-read scriptures, but she has never seen such a scene.

Seeing the men from Beiliang on the opposite side getting impatient, some even put their hands on the handles of their knives, he swallowed in horror, "Liangzhou is barren, because it is an important border town, not only can't pay taxes every year It is really a burden to support Chang'an, even needing a large amount of military pay from Chang'an. Since the king wants it, then I, Da Qi, are willing to cede the land and ask for peace. Sincerity is so, the king should have no objections, right?"

Jin Shixing smiled lowly.

He had a panoramic view of Xue Zhimei's timidity and cowardice, and even clearly saw his legs trembling.

He turned his gaze away and drank the wine in his glass casually.

What kind of alliance, what kind of summation, it's just a game.

He wants to get Liangzhou, then tear up the covenant and attack Daqi!

It's a pity that that man is no longer the emperor of Daqi, otherwise, he would never have sent such a stupid and cowardly man to negotiate.

He put down the wine cup, and signaled the civil servants to draw up the covenant with a lack of interest.

The Beiliang civil servant drew up the document on the spot, and Xue Zhimei almost couldn't wait to sign the document!
After pressing the seal, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Jin Shixing teased, "Master Xue moves really fast...does he really represent Daqi?"

Xue Zhimei is not lacking in pride, "The emperor appointed me to take full charge of this negotiation, and I will naturally represent Daqi!"

When the words fell to the ground, all the Beiliang people in the room laughed.

Xue Zhimei realized belatedly that they were mocking Qi Guo!

He blushed, but didn't dare to refute a word.

"I think Master Xue may not be able to represent Daqi, right?"

A clear voice suddenly sounded.

Jin Shixing raised his head suddenly.

Xiao Tingchen got up, slowly tore off the beard on his cheeks, and raised his sleeves to wipe off the makeup.

Today he was wearing a sky blue Confucian shirt, standing there tall and tall, elegant and gentle, but his bones exuded a vicious and bloodthirsty aura.

With a bright cinnabar color and evil characters, he smiled warmly at everyone, full of evil spirits.

He walked to the table and picked up the two documents to play with.

Xue Zhimei couldn't believe it, "Xiao Tingchen?! How could it be you?! You, what do you want to do?! You are just a blacksmith exiled to the frontier. You can't mess around with this kind of family and country affairs!"

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a family and country. You Dali Temple Minister Xue Zhimei can talk about state affairs, but I am a blacksmith, why can't I talk about it?!"

Xiao Tingchen smiled wickedly, and arrogantly tore up all the documents in front of Beiliang and Daqi envoys!
Xue Zhimei couldn't believe it, "Xiao Tingchen, you, you are a traitor! When I return to Chang'an, I will definitely report you to the emperor! Come, let me arrest him!"

Daqi's envoys, Chang'an imperial guards, and even Xue's bodyguards all stood there motionless.

They couldn't do it.

That kind of covenant is simply an insult to Daqi!

They wished they could applaud Xiao Tingchen!
"You..." Xue Zhimei panicked, "Are you going to turn against me?!"

Xiao Tingchen smiled lowly.

Those peach-blossom eyes were wild and sinister, and he paused every word: "It's the other way around, so what?!"

.

Explain the reason for updating [-] words in these two days,
Because Cai Cai committed a lazy disease,

 Thank you love and Feng Qinglinwu for your reward, hug!
