my unparalleled way

Chapter 705 Peace Talk
It has been three days since Yue Luoning came to Qingliang City, and he has not seen the king of Nanqi, not even an official above the fifth rank of Nanqi.

The Southern Qi people didn't pay attention to the foreign prince who came to ask for peace, they even sent troops to surround the inn where Yue Luoning was staying.The intention of this move is obvious, to directly put the prince of the moon as an envoy under house arrest.

Even if Yue Luoning brought the humiliating conditions of voluntarily ceding land, paying compensation and paying tribute, it would not be able to make the Southern Qi monarchs and ministers look down at all.

The Yue Kingdom is their old rival. In the past hundreds of years, the two countries have confronted countless times, and they have never been able to tell the winner.At that time, both Yueshan and Yueluoning were thorns in the eyes of the Southern Qi monarchs and ministers.

But now?Huo Yingzhuo, who had given them such a headache in the past, was dead, and Ye Qian, Ye Cheng and his son, who had made them extremely fearful, could not protect themselves. Yue Kingdom was about to perish, and sooner or later even Yueshan would kneel before them.

They no longer need to put this old opponent in their eyes.

They couldn't see Yue Luoning's conditions at all, what they wanted was the entire Yue Kingdom.

In the court hall, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Qi Dynasty played crowns and celebrated each other with great joy.They believed that turning to the Shenyan camp early was the most correct thing they did.

If it wasn't for this decision, maybe the fate of Yue Kingdom now is what they would have faced in the first place.

But now, they are already thinking about how to humiliate Yueshan, who has become a prisoner, after destroying Yueguo, and then whether they should continue to wipe out Tianhe, Qingchuan, Qiansong, Grassland and other countries.

In the end, after the Southern Qi unified the six countries in the southeast, how would the extra territory be divided up.

Some "long-term vision" nobles of the Southern Qi Dynasty have even been secretly active, trying to get a better "fief" after the war.

They didn't know that Lin Si had entered the Southern Qi territory at this time, maybe even if they knew, they wouldn't take it seriously, would they?It is difficult to obtain detailed information about the news of Longyan's war in the southeast region, let alone some of the inside stories.

They didn't even know that the people sent by Wei Zhong had also entered the Southern Qi territory.

……

Yue Luoning was sitting in the lobby of the inn, surrounded by several Yue Kingdom officials, and a dozen hidden guards in the distance.

At this time, her complexion was inevitably haggard.Everything that happened during this period seemed like a dream to her.

After returning with honor from the Battle of the Holy Mountain, her situation in the palace improved slightly.

She could see that Lin Si and Mu Zheping's performance seemed to have moved their father.Perhaps because of their relationship, the father was much more lenient to him during that time, and even showed a rare smile in front of him from time to time.

This is the kind of paternal love she has never felt from Yue Shan before.

It's just, that's all, she was not given great power, nor did she regain control of government affairs.Yueshan seems to really treat her as a princess, but Zong Yue, Xue Chen, Ye Hong and others have been reused one after another after returning to China.

She was waiting for Lin Si's return all the time, not for the so-called oath to help her ascend the throne.

But she also understands that this wait may take many years.Maybe at that time, things have already changed.

But all this came to an abrupt end with the arrival of this war.

The war destroyed the original peace, and the Yue Kingdom was suddenly about to perish.

Although the outside world still doesn't know her daughter's identity, she understands that in just a few years, she has changed from a prince to a princess, and she may become a prisoner in the future.

Maybe at that time, I, who was completely reduced to a prisoner, would be found out as my daughter by the people of Southern Qi?Then what kind of unbearable scene will be waiting for her, she just doesn't want to think about it.

When the time comes, commit suicide early, right?she thought silently.

They are now trapped in this inn, and there is a centurion of the Southern Qi Yulin Army guarding day and night outside the door.

In this regard, Nan Qi didn't even have a hypocritical "protection" rhetoric, because there was no need for it, and this was house arrest.

If you want to force your way out, it's actually not difficult, after all, the dozen or so hidden guards are all practitioners above the Yuan Realm.But can you break through the inn, can you break through Qingliang City?
Since the first day she came to Qingliang City, she has not been able to leave the door of this inn, and it has been three days now.

Waiting like this, there is no result at all.

She understood this, but had to make a last-ditch effort.Father, you should still be waiting for your news, right?
She walked slowly to the door, and the centurion's centurion cast a sidelong glance at her, and said in a strange way: "Your Highness is a noble body, it's better not to run around, so as not to accidentally get hurt."

Even a hundred cavalry commander dared to taunt her so blatantly.She was naturally angry, but she could only suppress it, and in the past few days, there were too many similar treatments...

The Nanqi people on the street were pointing and laughing continuously. During this period of time, she has been watched countless times.

In the eyes of the people of Southern Qi, she, the prince who is about to perish, is worthless.

And laughing at and trampling on the Prince of the Moon whom they could only look up to from afar, they would have an uncontrollable blasphemous pleasure in their hearts.

She was deaf to all this.

She even tried her best to gather a smile, "I don't know when the Prime Minister of your country will be free?"

The centurion said impatiently: "You have asked this question a hundred times, don't you understand? You are not qualified to meet our prime minister!"

"Then... what about Mr. Wen and Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Rites?"

"He doesn't have time to see you!"

"My lords from the Honglu Temple..."

"Are you bothered? No time, no time!"

The hundred cavalry commander cursed loudly, and the saliva spewed out had even splashed on her face.

She wasn't angry, just showing a look of disappointment that couldn't be concealed.

I should have realized earlier that this trip to Southern Qi is simply asking for humiliation.

With heavy steps, she returned to her seat, and she was already thinking about how to escape back to the Moon Kingdom.

She understands that it is almost impossible to do this, and she is completely in the mouth of a sheep this time.

Then, the figure of that person reappeared uncontrollably in her mind again.At that time in Tianhe Kingdom, they had also encountered such a situation where soldiers were everywhere and enemies were everywhere.

But at that time, I never panicked, because there was that person by my side.

What would he do if he were here now?I'm afraid Qingliang City has been turned upside down by the commotion, right?

Will he enter the palace of Nanqi and put the sword on the neck of the king of Nanqi?

She imagined that scene, and a faint smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

This scene fell in the eyes of the Southern Qi Hundred Rider, which made him even more contemptuous.In his opinion, the prince of Yue Yue can still laugh until now, he is probably driven crazy.

However, just as he was spinning these weird thoughts, there was a huge noise from outside the crowd.

Afterwards, the Southern Qi people who were surrounded outside were driven aside one after another, and a team of Imperial Forest Army marched on the cleared streets, led by his Imperial Forest Army Commander Sha Fen.

Before the hundred riders stepped forward to salute, Sha Fen quickly stepped into the inn.

"His Majesty's oral order is to summon Moon King's son Yue Luoning into the palace!"

Yue Luoning got up suddenly, although her face remained calm, but her heart was extremely unbelievable.

what happened?
Originally, she couldn't even get along with the officials of the Southern Qi Dynasty, let alone the King of the Southern Qi Dynasty?In fact, if she were the king of Nanqi, she would not agree to the so-called peace talks.

The other party can easily destroy the Yue Kingdom, and sooner or later everything in the Yue Kingdom will be in their pockets, so why bother with them?

The officials of the Yue Kingdom in the rear also looked incredulous, but they all understood that this matter seemed to have turned around.

Without any delay, she was quickly accepted into the Nanqi Palace.

The king and prime minister of the Southern Qi Dynasty did not appear, but in this meeting hall, several officials from the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites of the Southern Qi Dynasty had already sat on one side of the long table.

As for the other side, which was empty, it was obviously waiting for her.

The other party did not wait for her to speak, and directly arranged the peace talks.

All this made her fall into a dream.

From the attitude of the other party, she can tell that the other party seems to be more anxious to negotiate peace than she is...

There were almost no words on the scene, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the Southern Qi Dynasty quickly got to the point.

"Are you here for peace talks? What conditions do you plan to make our country withdraw its troops?"

These words made Yue Luoning feel the urgency of the other party even more.

She tentatively said: "Now the thousands of miles of territory that has been conquered by your country can be directly ceded to your country, is it possible?"

Several Nanqi officials on the opposite side watched her silently, waiting for her to continue...

Now that Yue Kingdom is about to perish, of course the territory that was conquered belonged to Southern Qi.But based on this alone, how could Nan Qi accept it?
At least a large piece of land must be cut, and then sky-high compensation, take-away tribute and various harsh conditions.

Even so, the emperors and ministers of the Southern Qi Dynasty didn't like it at all.

But Yue Luoning had already discovered something strange, so she deliberately paused.

There was a brief silence in the hall, and then a Southern Qi official frowned and said, "Is it true that we need to add more?"

Yue Luoning's heart is already extremely bright!
If under normal circumstances, I put forward such an insincere condition, I am afraid that the other party would have left in a hurry.But now, they seem to be looking forward to ending the peace talks soon!
She was ecstatic in her heart, but at the same time, she also had strong doubts. What happened to make the people of Nanqi suddenly make such a change?

Could it be that the Bilan Empire put pressure on it?But Bilan and Nanqi are separated by the two great kingdoms of Chilou and Purple Star. Now that these three countries have defected from Bilan's camp, unless Bilan directly sends an army over, how can Nanqi listen to them?

With the backing of Shenyan, Nan Qi is probably very tough now, right?
Although she already understood this point, she also knew that the land still had to be cut.Even if the other party wants to negotiate peace again, it is impossible not to pay any conditions.

"Another 50 gold coins?" She continued to probe.

The few people on the opposite side frowned again, 50 gold coins is actually considered a humiliation.

However, the people on the opposite side just continued to frown: "Add more..."

Up to now, Yue Luoning has fully understood that there has indeed been a change in this battle.

Now Yue Kingdom is not qualified to have peace talks with Nan Qi at all, and even if the two sides are fighting normally without Zixing intervening, the peace talks between the two countries will mostly be on the verge of confrontation.

Once dissatisfied with the conditions, they often yell directly, and it is not uncommon to even slam the door and leave.

After all, peace talks are often psychological warfare.

But now, the people of Nanqi seem to want to end the peace talks in just a few moments, they have no sincere conditions for themselves, although they are dissatisfied, they dare not attack at all.
