Chapter 37 Cessation of 4 Cities

"Mr. Yang Xiu, please enter the hall." Kong Tong, the little lady in charge, greeted her with a polite smile on her face.

In the hall, the family members are basically all there. After all, it is a marriage between city-states, and it is also grand as a festival. Even the entrance to the city of Zulong City-State has been decorated with lanterns.

"His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for some time. The soldiers of our Lingxiao city-state miss them very much." Yang Xiu took a step and walked towards the hall.

Yang Xiu only brought two guards, and the others were waiting outside the palace courtyard. Even in the enemy city, this Mr. Yang Xiu didn't seem nervous at all, as calm as a neighbor's house.

"The servants should be grooming the lady," said the little lady Kong Tong.

"That's good, that's good. Speaking of which, I am a little surprised by such an obedient female monarch, but the female monarch is always the female monarch, willing to give everything for the future of the two great city-states, even if it is to be a concubine on your knees. , Hahahaha!" Mr. Yang Xiu laughed, and his voice spread in the hall.

The faces of everyone in the Li family were not so good-looking.

In any case, the party who offered to make peace was ultimately a compromise.

I thought Yang Xiu was a well-mannered envoy, but I didn't expect him to be a bit sarcastic as soon as he entered the temple.

"This is the peace agreement. Mr. Yang has a look at it. If there are no other problems, please sign it." Li Ying also spoke at this time.

Yang Xiu gave a perfunctory salute, which was a respect for the master of the Li family.

He took the peace book and quickly scanned the contents.

In the process of reading the peace book, a soldier with a red corsage came quickly and whispered something in Yang Xiu's ear.

Yang Xiu wrote the pen without touching the ink. It seems that he never planned to sign it from the beginning, let alone stamp it.

The soldier stepped back, and Yang Xiu made an unpleasant expression, first made an unpleasant tut, then put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Patriarch Li, our Lingxiao city-state has sent so many dowry gifts. , it can be considered sincere, why did you not write the regulations for ceding the four cities in the west in this peace negotiation book, and even now you are not willing to let me wait to see the queen?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Li family couldn't hold back any longer.

To cede the four western cities? ?

The four rich and prosperous cities in the west are the most important territories and cities besides the main city of the Zulong city-state. Even if the two city-states continue to fight, the Li family will never cede these four cities to the Lingxiao city-state! !

"What ceded the four cities in the west, the only condition we negotiated earlier was that Li Yunzi would marry into your Ling family in Lingxiao City as a concubine!" Mrs. Kong Tong said a little annoyed.

This Yang Xiu, no matter how arrogant he is, is so crazy.

"Oh, I didn't say it before, but it's all the time. It's not too late to add this condition. I can wait." Yang Xiu said this, but she moved a chair from the seat. .

Putting the chair in the center of the hall, Yang Xiu sat on it, and brought it over from a fruit plate in front of a lady from the Li family, and ate the fruit as if no one else was around.

"Presumptuous!! You are a little envoy, you can't treat our Li family's imperial court as your own backyard!" A Li family's dragon priest general said angrily.

"I, Yang Xiu, represent the Ling family of Lingxiao city-state to negotiate peace with your patriarch. The war is nothing more than a decision by some people sitting in our hall. To negotiate peace is a matter of a few words, and it is necessary to look at each other. See, it's just a matter of a few words. But some small characters not only can't decide anything, but they may be slaughtered and annihilated because of some stupid words. I don't know if this young general is the former? If not, close it Mouth!" Yang Xiu laughed, her mouth still full of unchewed pulp.

Just now, Yang Xiu was wearing a feather crown and was polite, but now he is no different from a wild ruffian, rude and arrogant!

"Excuse me, Your Excellency,

Why suddenly coveted the four cities to the west of us? If we seek peace at such a price, why not start a war? At this time, Commander Cheng said.

"Commander Cheng, Patriarch Li, as far as I know, your Dongxu fortress city has been smashed by the violent army, and the violent army is afraid that it will drive straight ahead and enter the eastern part of the Lichuan Plain... those granary cities of yours will be looted. Ah bah, Really unpalatable dates." Yang Xiu said, spitting the core and phlegm on the ground.

Li Ying looked solemn.

Mrs. Kong Tong was even more surprised.

They had just learned the news, and Yang Xiu, as an envoy who had just arrived in the Zulong city-state from the west, could never have known about it!

Someone leaked the news? ?

The soldier just told Yang Xiu about this, and then Yang Xiu changed his face?

The question is how he knew it, even the Ancestral Dragon City State's own army had just learned about it.

"Mr. Yang, you just said that the war is just a matter of a few words from the people in front of our palace. You asked us to cede the city for no reason, just because you heard about the riots in the east? Let's not say whether the source is true or not. , the riot is just a group of greedy people wanting to be the master of the city, and pacifying the riot is not a difficult thing. I want to know whether you are clever enough to provoke a war in the west, or your master did not plan to make peace in the first place. If you want the former, I think you're pretending to be a monkey for everyone to have fun, if it's the latter, then tell your masters, we don't mind fighting your High Heaven City to the end!" Li Ying kept calm and used these words to shock the entire arrogant and domineering envoys.

However, Yang Xiu did not listen to these words.

He picked up the fruit plate again, took a bite of the large crystal grapes, and spit the skins on the ground at will.

His ignorance of the head of the family annoyed everyone in an instant, and the little dragon priest just got up even more, with an aura that he was going to kill the envoy directly!

Li Ying was calm on the surface, but he was already worried.

If Lingxiao City-State launched its troops at this time and attacked the rich Sicheng from the west, the Ancestral Dragon City-State would be attacked by the enemy, and it was very likely that the defense line would be breached, and then many lands would be lost.

The problem is that if the defense is lost, how can the military situation be delayed!

The hall became inexplicably quiet, and the eyes of everyone in the Li family fell on Li Ying involuntarily.

Has Dongxu Fortress really been breached? ?

The Lichuan Plain is a large plain. Once the violent army enters, it is like a pack of wolves entering the grassland. It will take an unknown amount of time to kill them all, and it will take an unknown number of troops to be dispatched.

Moreover, the eastern part of the Lichuan Plain, which was trampled by the violent army, will be a mess even if it is recovered. Without taxes and grains, the Ancestral Dragon city-state will seriously decline.

"The head of the family doesn't answer, and even allows this envoy to act like this. I'm afraid that the matter of Dongxu Fortress City is true!" Someone already whispered.

"Then isn't our Ancestral Dragon city-state really going to be slaughtered??" Some people in the clan understood the current situation.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and everyone was talking about it, but still they could only wait for the owner to decide.

"Patriarch, let me kill this bastard. I don't think Lingxiao City-State has any plans to make peace with us, and they have to send this person to insult us!" The young general just couldn't bear this madness anymore, and he was angry. road.

"It is said that the Li family is not as good as the previous generation, and there are countless idiots, and it is true. You can come up and kill me now. If no one stops you, I will hold a sword through my throat. If someone stops you, kneel down and chew it for me. The core and skin I spit out!" Yang Xiu said with a big laugh, her voice extremely arrogant.
