Outside the pavilion, the blood-clothed Hou and the three generals waited separately, their expressions were calm, and they could not see any emotions. They all knew that this confrontation would be very long, and every decision of the two people in the pavilion would affect the future of the two dynasty. .
The Northern Mongolian Royal Court and Daxia have fought to this day, and the situation is very clear. In the overall situation, Northern Mongolia is clearly dominant. Therefore, in this negotiation, it is Northern Mongolia who has the initiative.
Fan Lingyue single-handedly pushed Daxia to a precarious situation. This time, the assassination of Emperor Xia has made the dynasty of this millennium fall apart.
Ning Chen knew very well in his heart that the death of Emperor Xia had nothing to do with Fan Lingyue. This stab was too cruel and it was too time.
Back then, if Emperor Xia had died on that mountain, Da Xia would not have gotten to where he is today.
At that time, the wings of the two princes were not yet full, and Emperor Xia fell off the cliff and disappeared. No one could be sure whether he was alive or dead. Most of the powerful people in the court chose to wait and see, and did not dare to stand in line easily.
But now, the general trend of the third prince and the tenth prince has been achieved, and the power spreads throughout the court and the opposition.
Human beings are greedy, and sometimes they will do anything for the sake of the dragon chair.
Fan Lingyue is the best at grasping people's hearts and pushes Daxia into the sea of swords and flames step by step.
In the pavilion, the two of them have their own thoughts, but they are still calm on the surface, making and tasting tea, a peaceful atmosphere.
In addition to being enemies, they were also friends in the past.
"How does it taste?" Fan Lingyue asked softly.
"Slightly bitter in the mouth, sweet aftertaste, good tea," Ning Chen commented.
"This tea comes from Yunwu Mountain in Northern Mongolia. The environment is very cold, so the tea produced is also different." Fan Lingyue poured another cup of tea, pushed it in front of Ning Chen, and explained. "I didn't expect you to have such extraordinary accomplishments in the tea art of the Central Plains." Ning Chen said with emotion, tea art is easy to learn and difficult to master, and requires a lot of time and energy to practice. However, this law seems to have no effect in Fan Lingyue. really want to know
, There is nothing in the world that this woman can't do.
Hearing the words of admiration in Ning Chen's words, Fan Lingyue smiled faintly. She learned the culture of the Central Plains for nothing else, but to better understand this beautiful land.
"Is Mingyue alright?" Fan Lingyue asked as he lowered his head and made tea.
"You can eat and sleep, it can't be better," Ning Chen replied.
"Then I'm relieved." Fan Lingyue responded lightly, and then continued, "I really didn't expect you to break into Beimeng's palace and rob Mingyue. Fortunately, Emperor Xia is also dead, so we can be considered a draw. "
"Wan Guifei was sent by you, right?" Ning Chen answered.
"En" Fan Lingyue did not deny it.
"Who is she?" Ning Chen said a question that he had never dared to confirm.
"Love parents and daughters, no trace of love," Fan Lingyue answered honestly. "As expected." Ning Chen sighed in his heart. When he was in the capital of Beimeng, he heard that his lover's daughter had not shown up for nine years, but he didn't take it to heart at that time. It was not until Emperor Xia was assassinated that he thought about it again. The time when love disappeared without trace and Wan Guifei entered
The timing of the palace is too coincidental to be suspicious no matter how you look at it.
"The army behind you is too close to Beichui City. Mingyue is afraid of noise, so you better retreat." Ning Chen took a sip of tea and said naturally.
"How much is the refund?" Fan Lingyue poured another cup for him and asked.
"It's still the same as before, two hundred miles." Ning Chen thought for a while and said.
"Yes, but I want to see Mingyue," Fan Lingyue said.
Ning Chen didn't agree immediately, but delayed, "This matter is a bit troublesome, I need to think about it"
For the woman in front of him, he must be cautious and cautious. Now, Xiao Mingyue is the only advantage in his hands, and he cannot tolerate the slightest difference.
"Whenever you think about it, the Northern Mongolian army will retreat. Of course, it is limited to three days." Fan Lingyue said calmly.
Ning Chen nodded, he needed to prepare in case something unexpected happened.
"Remind you, the old monks in the southwest are about to be unable to sit still. You also know that if those monks stop meditating and reciting scriptures, it will not be a good thing for Daxia." At this moment, Fan Lingyue suddenly changed the subject and said. . Hearing this, Ning Chen's hand holding the cup slammed, this is a big thing, once the old monk makes a move, I am afraid that the southwestern frontier of Daxia will not be able to keep it. Although the strength of Wangchuanhou is second only to that of Kaixuanhou, he is still very strong. Not enough to contend with one and three disasters
the innate powerhouse.
Du'e Temple is not just a simple temple, it is a Buddhist country with over 10,000 disciples, which is extremely difficult to deal with.
"Fan Lingyue, if you drive away tigers and swallow wolves like this, sooner or later you will catch fire." Ning Chen's face gradually sank as he warned.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. I have the power to drive tigers and kill tigers. You should think about how to tell your empress about this matter." Fan Lingyue said unmoved.
The worry in Ning Chen's eyes was hard to hide. Just the things in the imperial city, the eldest grandson had already been very hard. If there were more problems in the southwestern part of Daxia, the eldest grandson might not be able to hold on anymore.
"Fan Lingyue, you have brought so many wars to the world, even if you win the war, it will be the people of the two dynasties who suffer after all," Ning Chen sighed softly.
"Life is full of bitterness and then sweetness. How can you cherish the sweetness without enduring all the hardships, just like this tea, if the mouth is sweet, the aftertaste will not be boring." Fan Lingyue said lightly.
"But after all, life is not about tasting tea, and you may not be willing to end your hardships. You can't decide the lives of others," Ning Chen said in a deep voice.
Fan Lingyue glanced at the former, and a sneer flashed on her beautiful face, "In this world, the strong have always dominated the weak. Are you so naive that everyone can decide their own destiny?"
Ning Chen was silent and did not answer. Fan Lingyue got up, looked to the far south, and continued, "The weak depend on the strong, and the strong depend on the stronger, this is human nature, there can be no absolute justice in the world, and it is not fair for the weak to want. , they need
He is a strong man who can guide them in the direction. Since they have something to ask for, they will naturally have to pay the price." Having said that, Fan Lingyue turned to his side, looked at Ning Chen, and said calmly, "Marquis of Zhiming, do you think Emperor Xia will give it to you? What does the title mean? He wants you to live in peace and see yourself clearly. In the eyes of Emperor Xia, you are just a servant, no matter how talented you are.
Can or not get rid of the status of a slave, Emperor Xia is a strong man, so he has the right to do so, and you can only accept it”
Ning Chen sighed softly, he couldn't refute, everything Lingyue said was the truth, there was nothing to quibble about.
Fan Lingyue sees everything very thoroughly, but because of this, she is indifferent to everything. She only cares about the final result. As for the process in the middle, it means nothing to her.
Just like the millions of civilians in Yanguicheng, they died only because Fan Lingyue was unwilling to waste too many troops in Yanguicheng. Massacre was the easiest and most effective way.
In the history of China, such a thing has also occurred. In the most powerful Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian iron cavalry also slaughtered the city many times, because there was no extra force left.
He couldn't refute what Lingyue did, but he couldn't approve it either.
The different ideas are the main reason why they go further and further apart.
"Fan Lingyue, I admit that I can't convince you, but still, I will do my best to stop you." Ning Chen stood up, looked at the beautiful but ruthless face of the woman in front of him, and said seriously.
"I hope you can do it," Fan Lingyue said flatly.
The atmosphere of the conversation was already stiff, and it was meaningless to say any more. Ning Chen clasped his fists and said goodbye, and turned to leave.
For a while today, the negotiation has just begun, and even so, the information he has obtained is enough to give the eldest grandson a headache.
He was surprised when he met the little bald donkey in Northern Mongolia before, but he didn't expect Fan Lingyue to really pull Du'e Temple into the war.
After Ning Chen left, in the pavilion, Fan Lingyue picked up a cup of tea and was about to drink it when he suddenly coughed violently.
If possible, she really wants to borrow another ten years from heaven, then she has 100% certainty to build a huge dynasty for Beimeng.
On the other hand, after Ning Chen returned to Beichui City, he immediately took a pen and wrote a letter to the imperial city, especially the matter of Du'e Temple, and repeatedly warned his eldest grandson to handle it carefully.
There are well-trained letter eagles in the army, and the speed is extremely fast, and the news can be sent in one day.
He didn't know if it was too late, but he had to tell Changsun about this.
It's not that Da Xia didn't have people who could stop the host of Du'e Temple. At least he knew two people, but whether he could persuade them depends on the ability of the eldest grandson.
If you don't want this kind of monster, no one can force them to do anything. Ninth-rank powerhouses can still be killed in numbers, but the only one who can stop Tiantian is Xiantian.
Xiao Mingyue waited silently by the side, and after seeing Ning Chen finished her business, she came over and tugged at the latter's sleeve.
Ning Chen just remembered that Xiao Mingyue was still waiting for the result, so he smiled apologetically and explained the negotiation conditions between him and Fan Lingyue to the little girl in detail.
"Want to see her?" After speaking, Ning Chen rubbed Xiao Mingyue's hair and asked.
"Think" Mingyue answered honestly.
She grew up under the care of Sister Lingyue since she was a child. Unfortunately, since the war between the two dynasties began, they have never had the chance to see each other again.
"I need to prepare. Your sister Lingyue is too powerful. I'm afraid she will take you away as soon as I take you out." Ning Chen felt helpless as he spoke, he had suffered enough from Fan Lingyue. , had to be extra careful.
Mingyue didn't answer. She is very conflicted now. She doesn't know if she should look forward to being rescued by Sister Lingyue.
Although she is a hostage, the bad guys are really kind to her, and they even risk their lives to protect her, and now she feels more and more that this war should not go on. She didn't expect Beimeng to defeat Daxia, but only hoped that these soldiers of Beimeng could return to the country safe and sound.
