Bai Shanshui smiled lightly.
She is at ease and contented, and no longer thinks about Su Qin's ending. She is just curious. The brothers in Baiyangdong naturally occupy a great place in Ding Ning's heart. However, besides Zhang Yi, there is also a junior brother in Baiyangdong, Shen Yi. .
As far as she knew, Shen Yi was a child of the Guanzhong family, logically speaking, he could help Xie Changsheng with many things, but Shen Yi didn't seem to be by Xie Changsheng's side.
So where did the little junior brother from Baiyang Cave go
She knew that Ding Ning had his own arrangements.
And when she got away from the matter and watched the battle between Bashan Sword Field and Yuan Wu as a bystander, she would find it very interesting.
She looked up at Changling.
As far as the eye can see, the sky in Changling is clear and clear, neither wind nor rain.
It's just that she knew that there was a storm in Emperor Yuanwu's heart, because at this time, a letter with Ding Ning's request should have been delivered to Yuanwu.
…
Yuan Wu is in the palace.
He was dressed in casual clothes, and he was still in the quiet room where he usually practiced.
There are two letterheads on the case in front of him.
He rarely dealt with political affairs on weekdays. Even after the two prime ministers died one after another, most of the political affairs were still handled by the ministers. Only some particularly important matters would be passed on to him.
One of the two letters is from Ding Ning, and the other is from Emperor Yan of the Yan Dynasty.
The content of the two letterheads is also very simple.
Ding Ning just mentioned a condition, if Xu Fu's Boys and Girls Sword Array is handed over to Ding Ning, he can return Zheng Xiu to Yuan Wu's hands.
And the letterhead from Emperor Yan is for peace.
If the Qin army does not continue to attack the Yan territory, the Emperor Yan will cede the land for peace.
Looking at these two different letters, Yuan Wu's face was extremely calm.
He first slowly threw the letter from Ding Ning into the brazier on one side, and then said four simple words to an official who was standing still at the door waiting for his reply: "I refuse."
Then he threw the peace request letter from Emperor Yan into the brazier, and said: "If you want peace, kill Prince Yan and the commander first to show your sincerity. If you kill Prince Yan, our Qin army will retreat for a hundred miles. If the commander is killed, our Qin army will withdraw from Yan." territory."
The official standing quietly at the door took the order and left.
When the official left the quiet room tens of feet away, his body began to tremble slightly, and the sweat on his back kept gushing out.
Before that, he felt that this palace was very cold.
He felt that this coldness came from the omnipresent gaze of the mistress of the palace.
Now, however, the mistress of the palace will never return.
However, the palace without this mistress seemed to become colder and colder.
…
…
"He declined."
Shen Xuan looked at the reply from Changling Palace, and said to Zheng Xiu.
He and Zheng Xiu were on a boat on the Wei River outside Changling.
At this time, there was a man who was also wearing ordinary coarse clothes standing quietly at the bow of the boat. He was the Chief Supervisor Chen.
Hearing Shen Xuan's voice, he sighed softly.
Zheng Xiu's eyes were very gloomy.
But upon hearing Shen Xuan's words, a ray of fire ignited in the depths of her pupils, and she quietly asked, "What conditions did Ding Ning raise?"
"Xu Fu's sword array." Shen Xuan answered very simply.
Zheng Xiu said: "Sword Formation of Boys and Girls?"
Shen Xuan nodded.
"Just asked for such a condition?" Zheng Xiu laughed, her smile was very strange, full of inexplicable taste.
However, Shen Xuan had seen this kind of smile on the faces of many prisoners.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and responded bluntly: "There are too many demands, and it is even more impossible for Yuan Wu to agree."
"I want to see Ding Ning." Zheng Xiu didn't look at his face, her eyes were a little empty now, as if she couldn't even see the sky in front of her, but her tone instead asked with an unquestionable tone: "Tell Ding Ning that I want to see him."
…
"Do you think Yuan Wu will agree to your terms?"
In Jiaodong County, Changsun Qianxue looked at Ding Ning and asked.
"I hope he will." Ding Ning looked at her and said, "This condition is actually not too harsh."
"But I don't think he will." Changsun Qianxue shook her head, "In essence, there is no difference between Yuan Wu and Su Qin. As long as he can achieve his desired goal, anyone can sacrifice."
"And I hope he refuses."
The eldest grandson Qianxue expressed her truest feelings lightly, "Then the whole world will know that he doesn't care about Zheng Xiu. As a woman, Zheng Xiu won't even have the last face. They are such a pair of dogs and men. , I hope she suffers more."
"Virgin Sword Formation will be very troublesome, but its power is second. The key is that these are real young children." Ding Ning said slowly: "Even in the battle formation, killing these people will always attract criticism. I am not afraid of criticism. , but the end result will be to slow down the progress of the war and cause more deaths.”
"Then Yuanwu will not fail to think of this, so he will definitely not agree to your conditions." Changsun Qianxue smiled, and then quickly became serious, "It's just that I don't understand why he still has confidence until now?"
"It's not that he has any confidence. He just has one last move. In his opinion, even if all his calculations fail in the end, as long as he throws out that move, I will definitely take it." Ding Ning looked at her calmly and said. .
Changsun Qianxue was slightly taken aback, "What?"
"When he finally felt that everything was irreversible, he would openly challenge me. After all, fair duel was originally the spirit of Bashan Sword Field, which was implemented by me in the Great Qin Dynasty. He knew that if he reached that point, I would definitely not refuse to fight with him. Have a fair duel." Ding Ning smiled mockingly, "But before that, he will try his best to accomplish what he wants to do. He will try his best to destroy Yan Qi, and by then , in his opinion, as long as he can kill me in a fair duel, then everything will be accomplished as he wants."
Changsun Qianxue has never been stupid, but when she was in Changling, she felt that everything was less important than practice, but at the end of this dispute, she also understood that, like Bai Shanshui and others, she was gradually becoming a spectator in this big show.
Especially now, when she heard these words from Ding Ning.
"Then why doesn't he take advantage of this time to challenge you?" Changsun Qianxue frowned, "He has an advantage in cultivation of true essence."
"Even so, he still doesn't have absolute confidence, so he will try to make himself stronger." Ding Ning looked at her and said seriously, "He has always been a little afraid of me. Many of my friends back then, including our Bashan Sword Field Many people have fought swords with me, and I have fought many times with me, but he has never had one."
