(Recommendation tickets will be updated; this chapter is thanks to the friends in qq bookstore. The starting point recommendation tickets will be updated, and there are still today.)

"I've seen Your Highness the Princess." Finally, Yuan Cai finally met Xia Qingqing after "going through a lot of hardships".

"General Yuan, please take a seat. You have come all the way to Anyang, but you have something important to do?"

"Back to Your Royal Highness, the First Prince wants to form a large army, conquer Cai Guo, and seek justice!" Yuan Cai said righteously and impassionedly, as if the First Prince did not do those nasty things.

In fact, Yuan Cai thought that the princess just wanted an excuse and cover-up, nothing more. As long as there is this excuse, the princess will definitely provide support to the eldest prince; after all, the two are still brothers and sisters.

However, Xia Qingqing's next question made Yuan Cai stunned.

"General Yuan, I don't know if my elder brother wants to seek justice for the 30,000 Imperial Forest Army, or for the 20,000 fleeing servants?"

Yuan Cai was really stunned, he never thought that the princess would reveal the scar so directly without showing any sympathy. After thinking about it, Yuan Cai asked cautiously, "His Royal Highness, the First Prince asked Li Wei to deliver a letter on his behalf, can you receive it?"

"I've seen it."

"Then you..."

Xia Qingqing's tone was very straightforward: "In private, he is my eldest brother. But in public, he is a prince who made mistakes. If the eldest brother's life is in danger now, I will definitely save him! But if it is for his ambition to ruin Daxia Kingdom ,I disagree!

Come, send General Yuan out of Anyang immediately, don't stay! "

Yuan Cai was in a daze, because he was dragged backwards to leave Anyang City Lord's Mansion. After that, Yuan Cai was "escorted" by the wolf-like Anyang soldiers to leave the border of Anyang in a state of embarrassment.

When we left Anyang, it was already sunset. Looking at the dim sky in the west, Yuan Cai's complexion kept changing, and finally he rode his horse and galloped without saying a word, and the soldiers behind him also hurriedly followed.

Needless to say what happened in the future, the eldest prince almost spit out a mouthful of blood—how could this happen? !

However, it was said that Xia Qingqing simply expelled Yuan Cai, Ye Mingquan, Cai Guo's minister of Honghe Temple, watched the whole process; he couldn't sleep at all at night, looking at the bright moon, he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect, this The princess's wrist is stronger than Li Xian's! Miscalculation!"

On the second day, the negotiation really started, and the beginning was full of verbal exchanges. Ye Mingquan showed his true skills and never dared to underestimate the princess; however, Anyang is not only the princess, but also Xu Ren, Fang Shijing, and Beichen Yuqing; there is also Ling Zhifeng behind him. Every time a condition is negotiated, Xu Ren asks Ling Zhifeng to do a good or bad fortune-telling before confirming it;

Ye Mingquan was curious, strange, why did Anyang reject some conditions that implied traps? A dozen conditions were negotiated in one day, and nine of them had traps. As a result, all nine of them were reversed before they were about to be stamped!

On the third day of the negotiation, because the negotiation was too intense, Ling Zhifeng had to come forward to judge good or bad on the spot. Let everyone truly appreciate the magic of alchemists.

Everyone didn't know whether Ling Zhifeng's divination was accurate; but seeing Ye Mingquan's depressed and livid face was enough to explain everything.

With this lesson, Ye Mingquan finally stopped setting any traps and completed the negotiation in a satisfactory manner; this also allowed the negotiation to be concluded in just five days.

The final negotiated conditions probably include:

First, Emperor Cai needs to send envoys to visit the Emperor of Daxia and deliver elixir. (Because of the defeat of the Royal Forest Army, the apology turned into a visit.)

Second, the two sides ceased fighting at this point, and everything in the past should not be held accountable, and they want to do business with each other. Neither side should make things difficult or have any restrictions.

Third, exchange prisoners. However, Anyang only agreed to exchange the prisoners of the Imperial Forest Army, and did not mention anything about the First Prince's servants.

Fourth, Cai Guo promised that in the next five years, he would not use any excuse to invade the Great Xia Kingdom—if the Great Xia Kingdom dared to take the initiative to attack, this clause would be void.

Fifth, hand over the former prime minister's family to Anyang for disposal. Anyang stated (not a promise) that we will behead the entire family of the former prime minister of Cai Guo.

In the end, the two sides checked and signed and stamped together.

After a little preparation, Beichen Yuqing led some people and followed Ye Mingquan to Cai Guo.

After watching Ye Mingquan and his party go away, Xia Qingqing sighed, "Because of the defeat of the Imperial Forest Army, we have lost too many benefits!"

Xu Ren smiled and said: "The princess has done a good job. The two most important things, business and the replacement of the prime minister, have been achieved, and the rest is not important."

"Am I doing well?"

"Yes."

After getting Xu Ren's affirmative answer, Xia Qingqing immediately smiled. At this moment, Xia Qingqing was smiling happily, contentedly, and a little bit arrogantly. A little innocent, little girl-like joy appeared on Xia Qingqing's face.

Deep down in her heart, Xia Qingqing was overjoyed - I was finally no longer a useless, unmarriageable princess! The hasty wedding at the beginning of the year hurt Xia Qingqing's self-esteem, as if she couldn't get married!

The end of the negotiation also means that Anyang can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Xia Qingqing immediately sent someone thousands of miles to send a letter to Li Xian to announce the good news.

What about Li Xian who is two thousand miles away?

At the moment Li Xian is supervising the craftsmen digging the tunnel. The person in charge of supervision is Ge Zhengfeng.

"Boom..." The ground trembled, and there was a dull sound.

"Oh, I can't sleep well after taking a nap!" Li Xian complained and got up.

Ge Zhengfeng, who was planning the specific construction of the imperial mausoleum, the direction of Fengshui, etc., took a look at Li Xian and continued to work with his head down.

Li Xian went over to take a look, but he couldn't understand it at all, it was a mess—at least it seemed to Li Xian. There are not only the direction of engineering construction, but also formations, earth energy, and the like.

After a while, a messenger came in to report the situation.

"Currently, the cave has been excavated for 60 feet, and it has penetrated 20 feet underground. It is estimated that by tomorrow noon, it will reach the first location where the Feng Shui formation will be arranged."

Ge Zhengfeng got up, made a mark on the wall, and suddenly smiled, "Li Xian, this gunpowder is really good, it's faster than spells, but it's a bit dangerous.

Yes, if things go on like this, in half a year, we will get through the mountain base and get close to the ground level. At that time, an imperial mausoleum under a high mountain can be built. After the construction of this imperial mausoleum is completed, it will be ranked first in the entire Yingzhou. Taking the mountains as mausoleums, taking mountains as rivers, and protecting them with mountains is wonderful! "

"Hey..." Li Xian smirked. I wanted to open a mountain to build the imperial mausoleum, which was a move of the Tang Dynasty in another world; the amount of work was small, but the imperial mausoleum was very majestic.

It's just that accidents always pop up when people are most proud, and this time is no exception!

Right after Ge Zhengfeng finished speaking, the next explosion was ushered in, but the result of the explosion seemed not to be very good. Because the blasting was over, I heard panicked screams outside, as well as the dull sound of running water. It seems that the underground lake has been opened up.

"What's going on?" Li Xian and Ge Zhengfeng rushed out all at once, and then both of them were stunned!

It was supposed to be the hole where the mountain was dug, but there was a black liquid gushing out. The liquid spewed out along the sloping hole for a distance of several hundred meters, and soon flooded the construction site; a large number of craftsmen rushed to escape in all directions. In the black liquid, there were still several corpses floating.

While escaping, craftsmen kept falling down!

"This is... oil?!" Li Xian's heart was pounding!

The black viscous liquid seems to be oil without a doubt! It's just the taste, why is it a bit wrong?

However, what Ge Zhengfeng said surprised Li Xian, "Everyone, get out of here, this is the underground turbid air, and it contains the remnant soul of ancient power, if you touch it, you will die!"
