The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 233 Negotiation and Cooperation
Zhao Tianyu saw the two people withdraw, and the blood that had been suppressed just now surged up again.Zhao Tianyu spit out "Wow".There is black in the blood red, and the vegetation on the ground lost its life in an instant.

The big vengeance failed to be avenged, and he was about to die here.He thought that God had treated the Zhao family so unfairly, one family died tragically, but the enemy was still alive.I finally had the ability to take revenge, but I didn't want God to make a difference and didn't give him this chance.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more angry he was, the more blood poured out.Zhao Tianyu quickly took out the Blood Bodhi Pill and stuffed it into his mouth, but before he could swallow the pill, another mouthful of black blood and the Blood Bodhi Pill he had just taken in were spit out together.Suddenly Zhao Tianyu's eyes went dark, and he fell down.

At the last moment when he closed his eyes, Zhao Tianyu thought, "This time I might really die."

After Zhou Changsheng returned to Liuli Country, he closed the door to thank the guests.The news of Ran Hai's arrival in Liuli country, he had already learned from Feng Xiangru.Now that Ran Hai has arrived in Liuli Country, there must be his conspiracy.Although he is a courtier, he must be the emperor, let alone sending troops to attack Zhaoxuan country is his attention.

Ran Hai repeatedly wanted to visit Zhou Changsheng, but was sent away by Zhou Changsheng's disciples.Qingming was extremely anxious at this time, and accompanied Ran Hai to Zhou Mansion again.

This time the person standing at the door did not directly blast him out like last time.He just passed on a message: "My lord has said that he is well aware of Master Ran's request to see him, but he cannot allow foreigners to interfere in the affairs of his country. Please, Master Ran, go back!"

Ran Hai had already learned how to deal with these subordinates after being shut down a few times, and said: "Since your adults have said so, can I trouble you to tell me to pass on the message again?" Qingming next to him took out a bag of things from his sleeve to the messenger.There is a saying that the king of Hades is easy to talk about, but the imp is hard to deal with.

The servant who sent the message took Qingming's things tactfully, and said: "My lord also said another thing. If Lord Ran insists on not leaving, please invite Lord Ran to go in and see our lord!"

Ran Hai felt sorry for him, but he had never made things difficult for others before.This is considered to have met an opponent, but since he has something to ask others, how can he lose his temper.He just responded nonchalantly.

The person who delivered the message walked in front, and Ran Hai followed behind.Qingming wants to go in with Ran Hai.The person who sent the message turned around and said: "Our adults have said that only Mr. Ran is allowed to enter the mansion alone, and no one else can enter the mansion at will."

When Qingming heard this sentence, she wanted to have a seizure.Ran Hai glanced at him, Qingming put away his anger.

The person who sent the message saw it: "I am just a servant who sent the message. Since the Lord ordered so, we as servants can only do as the servants. Sir Ran, what do you think?"

Ran Hai didn't say anything, just stood there.

The person who sent the message felt bored, so he walked towards the middle hall.Ran Hai followed behind unhurriedly, this week's mansion was a size smaller than Feng Xiangru's mansion, and everywhere was new, so it can be seen that Zhou Changsheng was favored recently.On both sides of the stone path are green iron trees, and there are a few plates in the middle that seem to be blooming, and a few long white branches have grown.

After crossing the stone path, what comes into view is not the grand parlor, but the plain and clean small courtyard living room.At this time, there was a person sitting in the pavilion in the small courtyard.A teapot, two cups, and the incense burner in the middle exude a special smell.

Ran Hai could see this person's refined temperament at a glance, but he couldn't believe that such a person would become the favorite of the new emperor.No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was just a scholar, without the aura of killing and decisiveness. If he was in a crowd, he would be just an ordinary person.

But Ran Hai doesn't think so, the more ordinary-looking a person is, the less he can use ordinary people's thoughts to guess his mind.Ran Hai was making predictions about Zhou Changsheng's author in his heart. Zhou Changsheng saw Ran Hai walking towards him under the guidance of his servant, and waved his hand to signal the little man leading the way to go down.

He also looked at the former Prime Minister of Zhaoxuan Kingdom, and also made predictions about him in his heart. If Zhou's family did not do anything, maybe he would have become a courtier of Zhaoxuan Kingdom instead of an official in Liuli Kingdom.

Zhou Changsheng stretched out his hand towards the stool in front of him, and poured out a cup of tea from the teapot himself. The color of the tea was clean, not like the green color of tea leaves after steeping, but a little red on the contrary.

"Zhou is a man who likes to get straight to the point and doesn't like to beat around the bush. May I ask what is the important thing for Mr. Ran to ask to see me this time?" Zhou Changsheng asked, there was no fluctuation in his voice, and he seemed to be unable to see the waves calmly. the sea.

Ran Hai saw that he asked himself so directly, so he didn't want to be polite: "Since Mr. Zhou is so quick to talk, then Ran Hai will not hold back. I think Mr. Zhou has already understood my situation and this time. the goal of?"

"I have heard about Lord Ran's situation, but as for the purpose of Lord Ran's trip, please forgive Changsheng for not daring to speculate." Zhou Changsheng replied politely.

Ran Hai knew that Zhou Changsheng wanted to avoid him on purpose, so he asked, "Master Zhou, do you know that you lived in southern Xinjiang before?"

Zhou Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth, sneered and said, "It's more accurate to say that it's a refuge rather than a shelter?"

Ran Hai was stunned for a moment, then coughed in embarrassment and said: "Yes, it's fleeing, but even though it's fleeing, he had a good conversation with the chiefs of the tribes in Southern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang has always wanted to annex Zhaoxuan Kingdom, which must be true. Master Zhou must know."

"so what?"

"Looking at the situation of the Liuli Kingdom, Zhaoxuan Kingdom, and Southern Xinjiang, the Liuli Kingdom is rushing for thousands of miles, the lack of people and horses is the second priority, and the food supply is not easy, and it is very easy to become the direction of the opponent's attack. When you say that the Liuli Kingdom is sincerely recruiting the whole country to be unprepared, The sudden attack has the upper hand, but the main thing is that once the Zhaoxuan Kingdom recovers, I believe that the Liuli Kingdom will definitely not be the opponent." Ran Hai analyzed the situation of the Three Kingdoms to Zhou Changsheng.

Hearing what Ran Hai said, Zhou Changsheng frowned and asked: "Then, is it possible that Master Ran is here to listen to Zhaoxuan Kingdom to persuade Liuli Kingdom to withdraw its troops?"

Ran Hai shook his head and said: "Of course not, Ran Hai has already reached an agreement with the leaders of the tribes in the southern border. As long as the Liuli country has the determination and will to fight bloody, the leaders of the tribes in the southern border are willing to send troops to attack the Zhaoxuan country together and share the pressure of the Liuli country. .”

Zhou Changsheng smiled and asked: "Who are the patriarchs Lord Ran is referring to?"

Ran Hai said: "The four largest tribes in southern Xinjiang, the Ha family, the Mo family, the Tuoba family, and the Xiao family have all reached an agreement with the old man."

"Hahahahaha" Hearing Ran Hai's words, Zhou Changsheng suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Lord Ran, although Zhou Changsheng has never been to southern Xinjiang, at least he knows that there are five largest tribes in southern Xinjiang, not just these four." Among the big tribes, the Ying family is the one who can really make the decision, and among the four you mentioned, the Ying family is not there, so they can also make the decision?"

Ran Hai smiled slightly and said: "My lord Zhou doesn't know that people from the Ying family have indeed been serving as the former chiefs of Southern Xinjiang, but the former chiefs are no longer there, and the Ying family has not yet decided on a new chief. In addition, the Ying family has been unpopular in recent years, and the four major tribes all have the intention of opposing Ying. There is only an appropriate time. As long as this time they can reach an agreement with the Liuli Kingdom and the Zhaoxuan Kingdom, the other four tribes will Re-integrate the forces in southern Xinjiang and send the Ying clan outside."

Zhou Changsheng frowned and thought for a while, then said: "No one knows what such earth-shaking changes will turn into in the end. Maybe it's the time when a new power rises, but it's also possible that it's a huge national power. Since then, they have been disintegrated, and they have split up. If the final result is the latter, why should Nanjiang, who is too busy to take care of himself, come to discuss cooperation with us?"

Ran Hai still kept his composure, smiled lightly and said, "Whether the southern border rises again or falls apart, does it matter to Mr. Zhou?"

"Huh?" Zhou Changsheng asked in confusion after hearing Ran Hai's words, "What does Lord Ran mean?"

Ran Hai still maintained a smile and said: "The old man's meaning is very simple. Whether the future southern border is reunited or scattered, at least he has no direct interest in Liuli Kingdom. On the contrary, if this cooperation can be facilitated , if Nanjiang can finally reunite, then Liuli Kingdom has a powerful helper, so it is just around the corner to take down Zhaoxuan Kingdom, and on the contrary, even if Nanjiang finally falls apart and becomes a mess, that is also Nanjiang's own Things, the Liuli Kingdom is still the Liuli Kingdom, and will not be affected in any way."

"Oh?" Zhou Changsheng responded, bowed his head and pondered for a while before he said: "Master Ran is indeed a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, so he knows how to be flexible, but I don't know whether this Liulihui will become Lord Ran one day. Victims of flexibility."

A smirk appeared on the corner of Ran Hai's mouth and said: "However, Master Zhou is using the Liuli Kingdom to achieve his own goals. Could it be that Master Zhou really sold all his sincerity to the Liuli Kingdom? At least the old man doesn't believe it. Besides." Ran Hai hesitated to speak, and looked at Zhou Changsheng with interest.

Zhou Changsheng frowned when he heard the boy's words, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Zhou Changsheng's heart for the Liuli Kingdom, naturally he has time to prove it, but what is it that Mr. Ran is hesitating to speak?"

Only then did Ran Hai speak again: "Besides, Ran Hai and Mr. Zhou have a common enemy. You and I have such similar fates and similar interests. Why don't you be an outsider to each other and seek dominance."

"A common enemy?" Zhou Changsheng recalled Ran Hai's words, yes, Gu Xinning and Ye Junyan were the ones who harmed themselves and exiled to other countries, and those who ruined Ran Hai were the same two people, so they said Come on, he and himself have a common enemy, maybe he is really someone they can cooperate with.

Thinking of this, Zhou Changsheng said: "What Lord Ran said is not unreasonable, but this matter is not so simple. The cooperation between the two countries must first seek the opinion of the emperor!"

"I know what Master Zhou means. As long as Master Zhou is willing to recommend me to meet the Emperor of your country, I believe that such a good opportunity, as smart as your Emperor, will not be easily missed."

After Zhou Changsheng thought about it, he finally agreed to arrange for Ran Hai to meet the emperor. Zhou Changsheng believed that no matter for whose benefit, or who would be betrayed in the future, at least, he could reach a common goal with Li first.
