Chapter 257 Final Negotiation

Tianbo Lake, in the courtyard of King Qin Ming of Chu, Qin Ming was playing with the battle puppet in his hand.

At this time, a guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from Hulao Pass. King Dingbei has arrived in Beihui City and is on his way to Hulao Pass. Master He hopes that you will come over."

"Oh, that old guy Zhao Yan has taken action. It seems that the rumor that half of the 'Broken God' died in the ruins is true."

"Since Zhao Yan is here, I will go and meet him."

Qin Ming muttered to himself after hearing this. After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked towards the teleportation array.

On the way from Beihuicheng to Hulao Pass.

"Commander, they Tianqin people are really bullying others, especially that civil servant, his name is Liu Shilang. The general wants to chop him into pieces with a knife."

A general of the Dingbei Army sat in a carriage pulled by a red flame horse and expressed his bitterness to Zhao Yan, the king of Dingbei.

"It's just that when I think of that villain's face, I still feel sick to my stomach."

"That's right. He asked for billions of gold coins as soon as he opened his mouth. It's so shameless."

Several generals nearby also complained around him.

"Alas, now our Han Empire may have to be silent for a while."

Dingbei King Zhao Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Commander, I heard some rumors that the 'Broken God' army has..."

A general asked cautiously.

"Yes, that half of the 'Broken God' army has been completely wiped out in the ruins."

Dingbei King Zhao Yan closed his eyes with pain on his face and said softly.

"The whole army was wiped out. Our 'Broken God' army was just gone?"

"This. This. Commander, this is a bit unbelievable. Our Han Empire's ace army has been completely lost in just these few days?"

These generals all looked at me and I looked at you, saying with incredulous expressions on their faces, with shock and fear in their eyes.

"This has become a fact, and there is no need to discuss this."

Zhao Yan opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice:

"Now, the most important thing is to repair the relationship with the Tianqin Empire. Otherwise, with their current tough attitude, they may really send their troops south."

"At that time, the northern part of our Han Empire will fall into the hands of the Tian Qin Empire."

After Yanbei King Zhao Yan finished speaking, the pained expression on his face was beyond words.

He really couldn't understand that in this short period of time, the Han Empire, which had the top three legions on the mainland, could actually fall into such a situation.

The news of the annihilation of the 'Broken God' army must have been known to the people of the Tianqin Empire. Presumably, they will definitely increase the price of the original bargaining chip in this peace negotiation.

"Commander, is there nothing we can do?" a general said miserably.

"Sigh. With a weapon that even the 'Broken God' army can't stop, what can we do?"

Zhao Yan shook his head, with a look of loneliness in his eyes.

"By the way, how come the Tianqin Empire has such terrifying weapons? Have you investigated clearly?"

Zhao Yan suddenly remembered this matter and asked.

"Commander, we really can't find out about that weapon, but we have investigated another terrible thing."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Zhao Yan frowned even more when he heard this, wondering why the Qin Empire has been so evil recently.

"Commander, a teleportation array has appeared in the Tianqin Empire, which can teleport people thousands of miles away at once."

"That day, the Qin Empire's 500,000-strong army took less than three days to get from Tianmu Mansion to Hulao Pass."

After the general finished speaking, he swallowed. When he first heard the news, he was shocked.

"What? Is this serious?"

After Zhao Yan heard this, he stood up suddenly and his voice increased by eight decibels.

"Yes, Marshal, our spies even rode in the teleportation array in person. It only took less than an hour to get from Tianhu Mansion to Kyoto, and it was all spent waiting in line."

The general still can't understand how such a thing could happen.

"This. Which force made this teleportation array?"

After Zhao Yan heard this, his eyes were as wide as bells.

"Commander, we have sent spies to investigate, but they have not come back yet." The general replied.

"No wonder the Tianqin Empire is so confident. With such heaven-defying items, how can we fight this war if we can't reach an agreement?"

Zhao Yan now imagines the scene of peace talks, and the Qin Empire will definitely increase its chips again today.

"Commander, the Hulao prison has been reached."

At this time, the guard driving the carriage outside opened the curtain and said.

"Okay, I, the king, will go and meet the Tianqin official who opened his mouth."

The peace negotiators from the Han Empire arrived at the gate of Hulao Pass.

The two sides met at the same location as last time.

Qin Ming met Zhao Yan outside the door: "King Dingbei, I'm glad to meet you. I'm Qin Ming!"

Zhao Yan also returned the greeting and said: "It turns out to be the King of Chu. I have heard of his name for a long time. I am honored to meet you."

Both sides sat down.

"Because you have delayed for several days, we at Tianqin have been restless. You will be responsible for a mental loss."

As soon as he sat down, after a few polite words, Liu Shilang began to speak.

"Oh, I don't know, how much do we have to pay?"

A representative of the Han Empire said.

"Not much, just 10 million gold coins."

"In addition to the food expenses and soup and medicine expenses of your army in the past few days, let's calculate it to 5 million gold coins."

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is 5 million gold coins not enough? Then I'll add more?"

Liu Shilang saw the livid faces of several people from the Han Empire and pretended to be surprised.

"You"

This is too infuriating, damn, it's only 10 million gold coins, that's only 10 million gold coins, not yuan coins.

Liu Shilang saw that the Han Empire didn't say anything else and shook his head disdainfully.

"For this war, your Han Empire needs to compensate Tian Qin, a total of 6.176 billion gold coins."

Liu Shilang touched his upper lip to his lower lip and gave a number lightly.

"We really can't take out so many gold coins now."

After hearing this, Zhao Yan frowned, as if he was thinking about something else.

"Oh, then King Dingbei, how much can your Han Empire take out?"

Qin Ming asked aloud, he didn't expect to get so many gold coins from the Han Empire at all.

"1 billion gold coins"

Zhao Yan gave a number.

"This"

Qin Ming began to hesitate. The 1 billion gold coins far exceeded the amount they wanted to claim from the Han Empire.

With the 1 billion gold coins, they could equip an invincible army.

How about agreeing to his request? The 1 billion gold coins were not a small amount.

Just when Qin Ming was about to agree, Minister Liu refused.
