Qin Huaiyuan took a step forward and blocked Qin Yining from behind, then looked at the old man who was staring at him suspiciously.
He didn't know this person, and he didn't understand why the other party looked at him with such angry and resentful eyes.
Zheng Pei took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said with a kind smile: "This lord must be the famous 'Zhi Pan'an' Qin Taishi?"
Qin Huaiyuan cupped his hands, "That's just a compliment from some people. Dare to ask who this gentleman is?"
"A counselor under the account of Prince Zhongshun, surnamed Zheng."
Hearing the name of Prince Zhongshun, Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Yining instantly understood why this person was so hostile.
After all, Qin Huaiyuan was the one who set up the alienation scheme back then. This Mr. Zheng's age may have followed Pang Zhongzheng.
"It turned out to be Mr. Zheng. It's really disrespectful." Qin Huaiyuan looked around and said with a smile: "This extraordinary-looking adult must be Lord Shu Lian, Minister of War, right? I wonder if Young Prince Pang is also there?"
Lian Shengjie had already stretched his neck, and his presumptuous gaze swept back and forth on Qin Yining several times. Hearing Qin Huaiyuan talking about him, he felt a burst of pride in his heart, but then he asked about Pang Xiao, and felt unhappy again. He immediately lowered his face and said:
"This commander is now in charge of the Pingnan army, and presided over the peace talks at the will of our emperor. Pang Xiaowang is now just a tiger general. What's the difference between him and his absence?"
Qin Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's true."
Zheng Pei looked at Qin Yining for a while, and secretly scolded another goblin who brought harm to the country and the people.
In a word, the face of the Dayan who said it was a little hot.
Dayan has never had a female official, as everyone knows.
Lian Somerset's lustful nature is no secret.
In the team of Dayan Peace Talk, with a stunning beauty, the purpose is obvious.
Zheng Pei's question is to trample Dayan's dignity under his feet.
Qin Yining had no good feelings for this Mr. Zheng.
Qin Huaiyuan still smiled and said, "This is my daughter. I don't have a son, and I only have such a bright pearl under my knees. I have the heart to entrust her with important tasks in the future, so I like to take her wherever I go and let her grow up. Insight, eye-opening."
The Dayan people sighed, feeling that the face that had been trampled under their feet had been regained again, and praised Qin Huaiyuan's wit in his heart.
The people of Da Zhou secretly despised it, and it is shameless to find such a high-sounding reason to present a beauty!
"It turned out to be the female son of Qin Taishi's family. It's really disrespectful." Zheng Pei was still laughing, but his eyes were full of ridicule.
If she was really an ordinary lady, under Lian Shengjie's presumptuous gaze and Zheng Pei's mocking smile, she would have been so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to burrow in, but Qin Yining just stood calmly behind Qin Huaiyuan, It's really like a son-in-law who came out with his father and learned more.
"That being the case, let's talk in the tent." Dayan's Minister of Rites Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "I have ordered people to prepare appetizers, let's chat while eating, and chat while eating."
"Please."
"Please!"
The main personnel of the peace talks entered the main tent, and Qin Yining naturally followed Qin Huaiyuan.
The tent is a pure white military tent, with a bonfire burning in the local area, and an iron pot on it is boiling water. There was a bright red carpet on the ground, and going further inside, there were three strips on each side.
Lian Shengjie and a lieutenant, Zheng Pei, sat on the left.
Qin Huaiyuan and Cui Wenqing sat on the right.
Qin Yining took a chat and sat behind his father.
Lian Shengjie and Qin Huaiyuan sat face to face, and as soon as they looked up, they could see Qin Yining's pretty face, already full of excitement and lust.
Although he was the official presiding over the peace talks, his thoughts were all on the beauty, and he didn't take anything agreed in it.
Thanks to Da Zhou and Zheng Pei, a prudent and sharp person, who fought with Qin Huaiyuan and Cui Wenqing, made sarcastic comments, and bargained with each other, they did not lose out, and did not take advantage of Dayan's words.
Four hours have passed since the negotiation.
But in many places, such as paying tribute, ceding land, etc., there is no consensus.
Da Zhou people lions open their mouths, and what they want is to maximize their interests.
Qin Huaiyuan was bitten to death and did not let go, trying to minimize the loss.
When the Daohua lanterns first went up, there were soldiers in the tent lighting the lanterns. Everyone had already said that their mouths were dry, and even the food and drinks were cold and hot, and they went back and forth several times.
Lian Shengjie looked at the beauty all afternoon, and countless tricks were already tumbling in his mind.
Hearing Qin Huaiyuan's disapproval of the 50 million taels of silver, he frowned and pretended to think, "This 50 million taels of silver is really not much as compensation for the loss of my Da Zhou soldiers. But, it's not. Not negotiable."
Seeing this, Zheng Pei was about to speak when Lian Shengjie said with a sullen face, "Mr. Zheng has been busy all afternoon, shouldn't it be time for this official to say a few words?"
Zheng Pei is Pang Xiao's staff. He is known as a "counselor" in the Hu Ben army, but he has no actual official rank and military rank. He can sit here today because of Pang Xiao's promotion. Pang Xiao is not in the barracks, and the Hu Ben army must As a representative, Lian Shengjie did not dare to face him.
Although Somerset Lian showed his official prestige, Zheng Pei had nothing to do.
Seeing that Zheng Pei stopped talking, Lian Shengjie stood up, pretended to move his muscles and stretched his arms, walked around the ground twice, and finally walked to Qin Huaiyuan's side.
He leaned over to look at Qin Yining's fair face, his eyes were full of covetousness, but he said to Qin Huaiyuan:
"Of course, peace talks, peace talks, we have to talk about it together! This official loves drinking, and I heard that Qin Taishi has trained his daughter as a son. I think the female son's drinking capacity is not bad. If the female son can accompany this official to drink two Cup, those conditions are still negotiable!"
finally come!
Qin Yining closed his eyes.
Qin Huaiyuan's hands gradually clenched into fists, with a smile on his face, but he was struggling with anger and helplessness in his heart.
Qin Yining didn't want Qin Huaiyuan to be embarrassed, so he stood up and bowed his knees.
"Master Lian is an unparalleled hero, with a bold temperament, and the little girl admires it very much. In this way, the little girl will take this opportunity to toast the adults."
As he said that, he picked up the wine jar and poured a big bowl for Lian Shengjie, while he picked up a small white porcelain wine cup.
Lian Shengjie took the white porcelain wine bowl handed over by Meiren'er, his eyes were filled with the skin of the other party's bullying Sai Xue, and his mind was full of those charming thoughts, how could he even react to what he was drinking
He stared at Qin Yining and drank a bowl of it in one gulp. He tasted a burst of spicy burning in his stomach. Then he realized that he had been poured into a large bowl of burning knives!
Lian Shengjie was a little drunk, but he was not angry and laughed.
"Hey! This beauty's kindness is the hardest to bear. The wine that the beauty pours is extraordinarily good."
"Really, that adult is eating one bowl. As the saying goes, three bowls are not enough, and the heroic adults should only eat three bowls." After saying that, he poured another bowl and looked at Lian Shengjie with bright eyes. .
Lian Shengjie's spirit has come up at this moment. Although he won't be dizzy, he is also a coward. When he is most excited, he doesn't care whether others are there or not, so he grabs Qin Yiningrou with his big hand. Ruo boneless little hands will carry people into their arms.
"Beauty, are you trying to get me drunk? Tell you, what I am most afraid of is beauty's gentleness. If you are willing to serve me well, why can't our peace talks be discussed? I'll be a little more relaxed here. , the saint in our country has a long way to go, and you have to listen to my return. Beauty is a transparent person, and I can see it. Let’s have a dewy marriage, and it’s not a loss of this God-given fate, you Say yes?"
Qin Yining's body was stiff, his face was already purple, his wide-open apricot eyes were filled with humiliation and anger, but he was more helpless.
Isn't the purpose of her coming today to do this
Dew marriage? Should she be thankful that God at least did not arrange for this Lord Lian to take her away
Qin Huaiyuan's forehead burst with blue veins, and stood up unbearably, holding Qin Yining behind him.
"Master Lian, I brought my little girl here just to take a look around and gain more knowledge. Let's talk about serious matters."
Qin Yining looked at Qin Huaiyuan's tall back with tears in his eyes.
Her father, after all, still protects her.
Although the Holy Order was hard to violate and had to bring her along, at the critical moment, it was still her father who protected her!
However, can she be protected by her father with such peace of mind? If the peace talks fail, will the emperor blame it
Lian Shengjie's face turned dark, and his voice was very high.
"What? You know Lao Lian, I like this, didn't I bring a big beauty here for me to enjoy? Now I'm willing to give you face, that's for you! You regret it now, what did you do earlier? Go! 50 million taels of silver, plus fifteen cities, nothing less!"
There were only five cities just now, but now the price has started on the spot!
Qin Yining bit her lip, not wanting Qin Huaiyuan to ruin her business for her. As long as her father protects her in her heart, she is already content.
Qin Huaiyuan was also in the middle of the battle between heaven and man, and his face was blue and white for a while.
Lian Shengjie smiled proudly, pushed Qin Huaiyuan away, grabbed Qin Yining's hand again, and was about to take the person out.
He expected that Qin Huaiyuan would not dare to stop him!
Who would have guessed that at this moment, the curtain was suddenly pulled open, and a tall figure with a dazzling knife walked in aggressively.
This person has broad shoulders and a back, and a black battle robe looks like a crown of jade, but in the phoenix eyes that are raised under the slender sword eyebrows, a storm is brewing at this time!
Qin Huaiyuan turned around and was stunned when he saw this person.
Qin Yining was even more surprised, "Yao Zhixi..."
She thought about it, only thinking that this person was here to save her. She felt mixed emotions for a while, tears almost fell, and persuaded him in a panic: "You go quickly, this is not where you came from!"
Pang Xiao, however, ignored it, swung his arms round, and slashed at it without a word!
This knife went straight to Lian Shengjie's face. If it really hit, Lian Shengjie's head would blossom.
Zheng Pei on the side yelled in fright, "Little Prince, no!"
Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, then stunned, and suddenly looked at Pang Xiao.
Lian Shengjie was half awake with fright, took two steps back with a "Mummy" sound, fell on the ground, narrowly avoided the knife, and broke out in a cold sweat, shaking his fingers and pointing at Pang Xiaoda Call:
"Pang Zhixi, what are you doing!"
"I'm fucking your grandma! If you dare to do anything to Lao Tzu's woman, I'll fucking hack you!" He said that with another knife, he swiped it in a rage!
