Yan Ze'an sighed as he walked; the bodies had been taken away, but the ground was still red. In the early morning, there was still the smell of gunpowder and the unsettling smell of burning.
The war horses ahead were neighing uneasily, and the driver had to put extra effort into steering the carriage.
When Yan Ze'an was walking towards Anyang, Li Xian was doing the final "training" with Xu Ren and others. "First, we must figure out how they got the formula for gunpowder. Secondly, we don't need any political concessions. This means nothing to us. We just need commercial concessions. We need to open up a huge market and a source of raw materials and resources."
As everyone was discussing, Song Xing came running over, "Young Master..."
"Wait!" Xu Ren suddenly said, "With Master Li's current status and influence, it's not appropriate to call him Young Master or Young Master. Especially since we are going to negotiate with the State of Cai, we must pay attention to these details. Well, how about calling him General? When there are outsiders, call him General. When there are no outsiders, keep the original habit. Calling him Sir seems strange, and calling him Master is obviously inappropriate. Calling him 'General' is the most appropriate."
Li Xian immediately agreed: "Sir, you are right. From now on, I will call myself a general. Ha, I am also a general who commands a region."
Song Xing was very clever. He immediately changed his words and said in a loud voice: "General, the Prime Minister of Cai State is here to visit us and has arrived at the border."
"Open the city gates and welcome them."
Then, Li Xian, Xu Ren and others came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for the arrival of Cai State Prime Minister Yan Ze'an. A carriage with a dozen servants came to Li Xian ten feet away and stopped slowly. Prime Minister Yan Ze'an got off the carriage slowly and walked towards Li Xian slowly.
Regarding Yan Zean's behavior, Li Xian appeared calm on the surface and just watched quietly - I'll just watch you pretend, pretend as hard as you can, pretend.
Yan Ze'an slowly walked up to Li Xian and smiled a little proudly: "Mr. Li is indeed a young and promising man."
Unexpectedly, Li Xian sneered suddenly and said in a loud voice, "Prime Minister Yan! Why did the State of Cai attack our Great Xia State for no reason, causing tens of thousands of Great Xia men to be buried at the border, and every family in Anyang is in mourning!"
The Anyang guards around were glaring angrily. The guards in the front took off the long swords from their waists and slammed them on the ground, making a thumping sound.
A murderous aura suddenly spread. These guards were all just transferred from the front line of the battlefield, and they were full of murderous intent.
Yan Ze'an was immediately dumbfounded. Damn, you are still holding on to your power. But considering the current situation and the possibility that the Great Xia Kingdom has already launched a northern expedition, Prime Minister Yan had to give in. He carefully put aside his arrogance and said, "Hey, we were also provoked by the villain..."
Li Xian chuckled, "I don't think I'm a gentleman. How about this, as long as your Cai State can send out 100,000 troops to attack Chen State, I will give you 5 spiritual stones. For every county you conquer from Chen State, I will give you 3 spiritual stones. If you can destroy Chen State, I will give you 30 spiritual stones! How do you think?"
