The apex pet of the black belly

Chapter 45 Xiao Jing leaves the peace talks
Shen Yunyi moved her mouth, wanting to persuade her again.

Xiao Jing didn't want to bring up this topic again, so he inserted a piece of watermelon with a toothpick and chewed it in his mouth, and then said, "After I leave Jiangnan, if there is any embarrassment at Zhiren Medicine Shop, my cousin will help."

Shen Yunyi nodded solemnly, sat up straight with her crooked body, and her sweet voice was full of seriousness, "Cousin, don't worry, I will help if I can."

Xiao Jing didn't ask anymore, as if he suddenly thought of something, he said, "By the way, look at my memory. Didn't my cousin ask me to investigate the matter of Bao's mother and son? I haven't found anything useful so far. It is Bao's investigation. Zheng Gang, her husband, has not received any information so far, including Zheng Yuding, who Chu Yingying is investigating, and it seems that there is no such person."

Xiao Jing didn't mention it, Shen Yunyi almost forgot about it, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "It's best if you can find it, it's okay if you can't. Cousin, I remember you told me before, Chu Yingying checked Zheng Yu must be a member of Licheng's army, how about Licheng recently?"

Although Shen Yunyi is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, she is an ordinary boudoir girl, but she also got the news that Donghu has assembled an army to attack Licheng. I heard that the battle is currently at a stalemate, and neither side has yet to decide the winner.

When mentioning the war, Xiao Jing's voice sank by two points, and he lost the mood to eat watermelon, "Donghu is coming aggressively this time, and this battle can't be finished in a short while. Fortunately, most of the generals in Licheng are experienced. In this battle, the materials and manpower are also leaning towards Licheng. This battle will definitely be won, but the time required may not be short."

The time of the war is prolonged and gelled, which means casualties. Even if she didn't see it with her own eyes, Shen Yunyi can still imagine the scene of corpses and blood on the battlefield.

I only hope that the war will end early and there will be fewer casualties.

Seven days later, Xiao Jing left Jiangnan and returned to the capital, Shen Yunyi and Qin Mochen went to see Xiao Jing off.

About half a year later, the weather was getting colder, and I also put on leather jackets and cotton clothes. The war in Licheng also came to an end. It was a tie with Donghu, and Da Chu and Donghu negotiated peace.

The content of the peace talks made Shen Yunyi so angry that she wanted to swear, her little face was flushed with anger, like the most beautiful sunset glow in the sky, her cheeks were puffed up, and she said through gritted teeth, "What's the reason? We didn't lose, so the peace talks will be over." Forget it, but you have to give Donghu 15 taels of silver, tea, salt and iron. If you don’t know, it’s still as if we were defeated by Chu, so we have to pay so much for peace!”

Shen Wenhao was more angry than Shen Yunyi, his whole body tensed up, one hand was clenched into a fist, and he slammed the square pineapple table by his hand, causing the teacup on the table to jump, "That's right! Peace talks, if you want me to say it, you should continue." Fight! Fear the Donghu group of barbarians, convince them completely, and never dare to invade my great Chu again!"

After a pause, Shen Wenhao added, "No, Donghu should take the initiative to compensate me, Dachu!"

Shen Yunyi echoed, "Second Brother's words make sense, as it should be."

Shen Jiahang glared at Shen Yunyi and Shen Wenhao respectively, and said in a deep voice, "What do you two kids know, don't talk nonsense here."

Shen Wenhan, who was dressed in sapphire blue silk embroidered directly, showed disapproval on his face that was [-]% similar to Shen Jiahang. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Father, what my brother and sister said actually makes sense. There are too many things. Recently, in many teahouses, scholars have been discussing this matter with righteous indignation, and it can almost be said that the discussion is raging."

Shen Jiahang didn't answer Shen Wenhan's words, but turned to look at Qin Mochen who had been silent all the time, and asked, "Mochen, tell me what you think about this matter."

"Big Chu can't afford to fight this battle, and can't fight it. I don't think it's strange that the emperor would make such a decision." Qin Mochen seemed to have incomprehensible complicated light flowing in those jade-like eyes, Qin Mochen His cold face seemed to be covered with layers of light mist, making it impossible for people to see through his deepest thoughts.

Shen Wenhao said unconvinced, "I am a big country with vast land and resources, how can I take a small Donghu in my eyes. There is nothing wrong with this battle. It is even more nonsense to fail to win, it is so ridiculous !"

Qin Mochen glanced at Shen Wenhao, and continued to say calmly, "In recent years, there have been many natural and man-made disasters in the Great Chu, and the treasury's money has long since flowed out. Not to mention how much money those corrupt officials in the court have embezzled."

Following Qin Mochen's words, Shen Yunyi fell silent.

A simple translation of Qin Mochen's words is that Da Chu has no money and cannot fight.

"Also, Beirong is not peaceful recently, and it is very likely that there will be war."

Nangong was in a hurry, "Will Beirong go to war?"

Nangong's father and eldest brother are in Beirong. If there is a war in Beirong, the two of them will be in danger.

Shen Jiahang calmly and anxious Nangong said, "It's just that it's possible. Not necessarily."

"Da Chu can't cope with a two-sided war, so the war on Donghu's side must be resolved as soon as possible. The 15 taels of silver, as well as some salt and iron, sounds like a lot, but it is much less than the price of continuing this war. gone."

There seemed to be countless emotions running wildly in Shen Yunyi's heart, which made her want to yell loudly and let her emotions out.

I don't know how long it took before Shen Yunyi looked like a deflated balloon, lowered her head, and muttered, "It's not that Da Chu is too weak. If Da Chu is strong, so what if there is a war on both sides?"

Shen Wenhao nodded his head in agreement, "No! We are still too weak. If I join the army, I will definitely—"

"Shut up!" Shen Jiahang angrily interrupted Shen Wenhao's passion.

Shen Wenhao was not convinced, and finally, under Shen Jiahang's deep and warning eyes, finally closed his mouth completely unwillingly, and lowered his head.

"It's fine to talk about these things at home, no one is allowed to say anything outside. Did you hear that?"

Shen Yunyi replied weakly, "I heard it."

Qin Mochen saw that Shen Yunyi looked weak and listless, without the energy of the past, so he couldn't help saying, "There is something, Junior Sister knows, she should be happier."

Shen Yunyi asked disinterestedly, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Qin Mochen said, "This time Donghu asked for not 15 taels of silver, but a full 25 taels of silver."

Shen Yunyi became interested, and asked puzzled, "Why is there a loss of 10 taels of silver? Could it be the result of our arguments? No, Donghu would give in 10 taels so easily? It's impossible."

Shen Jiahang didn't know why Qin Mochen brought up this matter suddenly, but he continued, "Mochen is right. It was because a general captured Donghu's second prince. That's why Donghu was willing to give in 10 taels. Only ask for 15 taels of silver."
