Chapter 709 Peace Talks (A)

Han Jianming was assassinated as soon as he entered the border of Fujian. Fortunately, he was prepared and did not let the assassin succeed.

Looking at the more than 30 corpses lying on the ground, Han Jianming said, "It's a waste of money." With so many people sent, it can be seen that Yan Wushuang wanted to put him to death this time.

Han Gao said: "Master, I'm afraid this road will not be peaceful." These people are keeping a close eye on his master.

Han Jianming smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be safe when you get to Rongcheng." At that time, Qiu Ye will definitely send troops to protect him. As for now, so many guards and elite soldiers around him are enough to protect his safety.

What Han Jianming didn't expect was that there were endless assassinations, and when he was approaching Rongcheng, most of the people around him lost their lives. In Rongcheng, there were only twelve people left around Han Jianming.

Living in the inn, Han Gao said with lingering fear: "Master, if Master Qiu really has a heart, it is impossible not to send someone to pick us up. Master, we should be careful."

Han Jianming nodded.

In the evening of the next day, a group of people arrived in Rongcheng. As soon as they entered the city, they saw Qiu Lei. Qiu Lei can't succeed in martial arts if he can't write, and now he mainly takes care of various chores in the General Military Mansion.

Seeing Han Jianming, Qiu Lei smiled and said, "Long time no see, my cousin is still handsome." Over the years, Qiu Lei has also experienced in dealing with people and things.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "I'm getting old!" People who are already running for four are not old!

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Qiu Lei took Han Jianming back to the General Military Mansion. Because he didn't know the exact time of Han Jianming's return, Qiu Ye didn't wait in the mansion, but went out to do some business.

Han Jianming first went to see Old Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Qiu, and then presented the gift he had brought.

Mrs. Xiao is a woman in the inner house, and she is also old, so she doesn't care about external affairs. When she saw Han Jianming, she just recounted the past: "How is your mother?" The sisters-in-law Xiao and Qiu got along like sisters, and the two families often walked around. It is also because of this that the relationship between Qiu Ye and Han Jianming is so good. Later, when the capital became corrupted, the Xiao family fled to Fujian with his son and daughter-in-law. However, Xiao's group was luckier than Han Jianming in that they were not hunted down.

Han Jianming said: "My mother is in good health, but she has been thinking about my aunt and cousin. It is also because of the long journey, and she is old and can't stand the bumps, otherwise she must have followed." To be honest, Qiu Shi didn't even know that he came to Fujian.

Xiao Shi sighed and said: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for almost ten years. I don't know if we will see each other again in our lifetime?" Xiao Shi looked much older than Qiu Shi. It's not that Qiu Ye didn't take good care of his mother, it's that Xiao's climate is unacceptable. When I first arrived in Fujian, I fell seriously ill, and my health has not been very good these years.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "When the outside is peaceful, I will definitely come back with my mother." The Qiu family's ancestral home is in Fujian, and the Qiu family also grew up in Rongcheng. Never came back. In Qiu's heart, this is also a pity.

Xiao smiled and said: "Then I'll wait. It's not easy to come here, this time I have to stay for a longer time."

Han Jianming quickly agreed.

After talking for a while, Xiao's spirit was a little bit weak. Due to physical reasons, Mrs. Xiao generally doesn't accept guests. However, Han Jianming's situation is special, so she made an exception to meet him: "You have also traveled a long way, go wash up first, and let Aye and Alei clean up for you later."

Han Jianming had just finished taking a bath and getting dressed when he heard Qiu Ye came back. They were both little boys when they separated, and now they are both in their forties. Because Qiu Ye got married early, he is now a grandfather.

Qiu Ye had a bold personality. When he saw Han Jianming, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Although we haven't seen each other for almost thirty years,

But the appearance has not changed much. "

Han Jianming said with a smile: "How could it not have changed? He is old. But the big cousin is still as cheerful as ever." Han Jianming is more restrained, Qiu Ye is more forthright, and the two have complementary personalities, so they have a very good relationship. And because they are first cousins, the two look alike. Many people who don't know the details thought they were brothers when they saw them!

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then went to the table to drink. The two chatted while drinking, not talking about serious business, but talking about the things they experienced after leaving Beijing. After a meal of wine, the two seemed to have returned to more than 20 years ago.

The negotiation process was not smooth. Qiu Ye had a good cooperative attitude before because he didn't want to offend Yunqing, and he didn't want Yunqing to lead troops to attack Fujian. But what Han Jianming came to talk about now is different from before.

Qiu Ye is also willing to accept the olive branches offered by Yunqing and Yuxi. However, his attitude is very clear. It is okay to want him to submit, but he cannot interfere in Fujian's government and military affairs. It means that Qiu Ye still wants Fujian to become China.

Han Jianming said with a smile: "Big cousin, if you think so, then there is no way to talk about it." Military and government affairs are not allowed to interfere, and it's a fart.

Qiu Ye sat upright, completely different from when he was drinking yesterday: "What do you mean by King Pingxi and Princess Pingxi?" In the eyes of the world, Yuxi and Yunqing have the same status.

Han Jianming said: "Cousin, we are a family, and I will not lie to you. Before I came, the princess gave me a confession. You can continue to take charge of Fujian's troops, but you must obey the orders of the prince. As for the political power , there is no room for negotiation, it must be handed over."

Given the current situation, it is unrealistic to ask Qiu Ye to hand over government affairs and military power. When the power is handed over, Yun Qing and Han Yuxi will have to rely on all expenditures such as military pay, which means that the lifeblood is in their hands. At that time, it was not Yun Qing who had the final say with Han Yuxi.

Qiu Ye flatly refused, saying: "If this is the case, then there is no need for us to continue talking."

Han Jianming was not angry either, and said with a smile, "I'm just an errand runner. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it." After finishing speaking, Han Jianming changed the subject: "When I was young, I always heard my mother talk about the sea. I haven't seen the sea at this age!"

It is impossible for Qiu Ye to hand over power without sending troops. They will only back down if Qiu Ye and the others feel the danger from the overwhelming army. Only then can we really enter the negotiation. Now it is just a warm-up, so Han Jianming is really not in a hurry.

Regarding Han Jianming's indifferent attitude, Qiu Ye hesitated.

Seeing this, Qiu Ye's subordinates doubted that Han Jianming's negotiation was fake and that it was true to spy on the military situation. The subordinates suggested that Qiu Ye limit Han Jianming's activities and not allow him to go wherever he wants. And wherever Han Jianming goes, there must be their people. But what disappointed these people was that Han Jianming really didn't do anything other than play. Even if it was a letter sent to Pickaxe City, it only mentioned the conditions proposed by Xia Qiuye, and nothing else.

Han Jianming's letter will be sent to Pickaxe City. After reading it, Yuxi said with a smile: "Sure enough, as expected." Unless it is a last resort, whoever wants to give up his things to others and replace them with her is the same unwilling.

Xu Wu said: "Princess, what should we do now?" The attitudes of Yungui and Guangdong are very tough, and there is no possibility of peace talks. It's just that Qiu Ye's attitude is a little softer, and it's impossible for them to accept the conditions that can be raised.

Yu Xi said: "Let the prince deal with this matter!" Now Jiangxi and Zhejiang are in their hands, and troops are sent from two places, so I don't believe that Qiu Ye and the people under him can still be so calm.

When Han Jianming returned to Pick City, Yuxi wrote to Yunqing about her thoughts.

Xu Wu said worriedly: "But in this way, Mr. Han will be in danger."

Yuxi smiled and said: "Qiu Ye doesn't want to fight with us, we send troops just to deter us, and we don't really want to start a fight." If Qiu Ye's attitude was as tough as the general soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, she would definitely not send Han Jianming went on an adventure.

Xu Wudao: "What if..." In case Qiu Ye and his subordinates got angry at Han Jianming and killed him, it would be difficult for the princess to explain to Mrs. Han.

Without even thinking about it, Yu Xi said, "Brother is going to peace talks. It's normal to start a war if they can't reach an agreement. No matter how Qiu Ye is, he won't blame Big Brother for this matter." If Han Jianming did something behind the scenes and was arrested, Qiu Ye It made sense for Ye to kill him. But she had explained before Han Jianming went to Fujian that even if they couldn't reach an agreement, she told Han Jianming not to do unnecessary things.

Xu Wudao: "I hope!"

This afternoon, Yuxi received a letter from Yang Duoming. After reading the letter, Yuxi's complexion was a little ugly.

Xu Wu asked: "Princess, what's the matter?" Yang Duoming is still in Jiangnan now, but now Yang Duoming not only wants to catch the spy lurking in Jiangnan, but also got Yuxi's order to pay attention to the movements of the generals.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "It's nothing." After finishing speaking, she put Yang Duoming's letter aside.

Xu Wu was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask again.

After dinner, Yuxi asked Brother Hao to go to the study. When the two of them entered the study, Brother You asked a little strangely: "What is Mother asking elder brother to go to the study?" Only when he was being scolded would he be called to the study.

Zao Zao tapped Brother Yu on the forehead and said, "You think Ah Hao is you? Mother must have told Ah Hao something." Brother Hao behaved very well in all aspects. Huo Changqing was beaten when he was learning martial arts, but Yuxi and Yunqing never beat or scolded him.

Brother Yu said treacherously: "Why don't we go and listen and see what mother said to elder brother?"

Zaozao slapped Brother You on the back, snorted coldly and said, "Who did you learn these crooked ways from?"

Ah You felt that his back was so painful, but he couldn't beat Zao Zao, so he could only say with a bitter face: "Sister, can you be gentle, it hurts so much!" It is a very hard work.

Zao Zao said: "If I hear you say these bastard words again, I will beat you until you lie down for half a month." If you don't learn well at a young age, you can do well when you grow up.

Because of Zao Zao's violence, neither Brother Rui nor Brother Xuan dared to intercede with Ah You. It was still Liu'er who felt that it was not good, and said: "Eldest sister, Brother Yu is still young, it would be bad if you hurt him if you hit him like this." Zao Zao was very strong, if she was slapped like this, she would probably vomit blood .

Zao Zao waved his hands and said, "I have a sense of propriety." After so many years of martial arts practice, if you can't even master the strength well, it's not in vain to waste the hard work of the past ten years. (to be continued)
