During the negotiation, the Qing State was very strong. After more than ten days of testing and entangled each other, a piece of news from the Northern Qi State finally broke the balance of the negotiation.

Yan Bingyun, the spy leader sent by the Qing State to Northern Qi, was arrested. Northern Qi used Yan Bingyun as a hostage and demanded that the Qing State release the imprisoned Xiao Xiao and reduce the terms of the negotiation.

When Emperor Qing heard the news, although he was angry, he made a decisive decision and said that except for the fact that the land he occupied could not be surrendered, the rest of the conditions were easy to negotiate.

In fact, there was no other way. After all, Yan Bingyun led a group of spies in the capital city of Northern Qi, and it was impossible for the Qing State not to save them.

If Yan Bingyun died, everything would be okay. The key is that Yan Bingyun was captured alive. If Emperor Qing did not rescue him, it would damage his reputation and also disappoint many spies who worked hard for the Qing Kingdom. Once people's hearts are broken, the team

It would be difficult to carry.

That's why Emperor Qing decided so decisively to lower the negotiation conditions.

On the other hand, he was taking advantage of the situation. He originally wanted to let Sean go back, but he was worried that there was not enough reason before. But now, no one can say anything wrong with letting Sean go.

As a result, after Emperor Qing made some concessions, the negotiation quickly took a turn for the better. Qing and Northern Qi negotiated for several more days, and finally the two sides finally reached a consensus.

The territory of the state that the Qing State captured from the Northern Qi Dynasty did not have to be returned to the Northern Qi State, but the Northern Qi State had to pay the Qing State a small amount of gold and silver, as well as some other conditions.

In addition, it is the exchange of hostages between the two sides. The Qing State needs to send a mission to the Northern Qi Shangjing City, and take Sean with them to the Shangjing City to exchange for Yan Bingyun.

After the negotiations were completed, the two parties signed a contract, and the peace talks were considered completed.

The peace talks ended successfully. Emperor Qing specially held a celebration night banquet in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests to reward those who had made contributions to the negotiations. He also invited people from the Northern Qi envoy and the Dongyi City envoy.

Although Zhou Chen didn't really want to see Emperor Qing, he wasn't afraid of seeing him either. What's more, he certainly wanted to witness such a lively scene at the Night Banquet in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, so he specially handed over a memorial to the palace, saying that on the night of the banquet, he

Go there too.

Emperor Qing was very surprised when he received Zhou Chen's memorial.

"This Zhou Chen, I asked him to go to court but he didn't do it. I gave him an official title but he didn't do it. He actually wanted to go to a small night banquet in the Hall of Prayer. Do you want to join in the fun?"

The three forces of Qingguo, Northern Qi and Dongyi City are gathered together. It is normal to watch the excitement at the party. He does not predict what will happen in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, but he does not think that Zhou Chen just wants to join in the fun. Maybe

There are other purposes, but he can't think of them at the moment.

"Since he wants to come, let him come. Speaking of which, I haven't really met him yet."

Zhou Chen has lived in Kyoto for so many years, and came back for nearly a year after becoming a grand master. However, in such a long time, Emperor Qing really has never seen Zhou Chen once, and he really wants to meet this martial arts master.

The ultimate genius.

Turning around, it was the day of the night banquet at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Zhan Pianpian and Sang Wen sat together and played chess, while Zhou Chen stayed aside and watched, giving Zhan Pianpian advice from time to time. Zhan Pianpian was the eldest princess of the Northern Qi royal family. Although she was good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, she was really not as good as Sang Wen.

proficient.

Zhou Chen saw that the sky was getting dark and it was not far from the start time of the night banquet, so he told Zhan Pianpian and Sang Wen and asked He Qin to drive him to the palace in a carriage.
