4128 New Golden Envoy

The expressions of all the close ministers changed drastically.

Li Bangyan was the first to speak: "Your Majesty! I'm afraid the thieves haven't gone far yet. Is it inappropriate to issue an edict at this time?"

Geng Nanzhong said: "I propose that your majesty be escorted out of this place by the royal family first, so that the thieves can do nothing, and we can make plans later."

"Okay!" Zhao Huan turned around and nodded gloomily: "According to Master Geng's wishes, leave Bianjing first, and then murder and rebel."

Among the ministers, the Young Master Zhang Bangchang opened his mouth and then closed it again.

He actually wanted to say, since the Xiuxian Sect was so powerful and wanted to lead the army to fight against the Jin, why not just let them fight?

If they win in the end, the world will be at peace. If they lose, they can shirk the idea that they attacked on their own initiative. The imperial court was determined to surrender, and there were not many elite soldiers and generals at hand unable to stop it. The Song and Jin parties could sit back at the negotiating table and continue the peace talks.

It's just a matter of losing more money.

No matter which ending comes, it will be more acceptable. Why bother to provoke the thieves of the Xiuxian sect?

At that time, foreign enemies are knocking on the wall, the Xiuxian sect is forced to rebel again, and the Song Dynasty is really suffering from internal and external troubles and is in danger!

Unfortunately, Zhang Bangchang knew that he was weak and outnumbered, so he kept observing for a long time and found no one with whom he could agree, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and swallow this idea in his stomach.

Just as a group of people were discussing how to escape from Kaifeng Mansion smoothly, someone outside the palace came to report that the Jin people had sent a new envoy to ask for an audience.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock.

"Did the Jin people know about the ambassador's murder so quickly?"

A group of people returned to the cleaned Chui Gong Hall uneasily and summoned the golden envoy.

The new envoy did not mention a word about the whereabouts of the previous envoy, and said it straight to the point.

The Song Dynasty immediately handed over new war equipment.

No delay.

Otherwise, all of Bianjing will be slaughtered, and no chickens or dogs will be left.

Zhao Huan was dumbfounded and asked in confusion, "What is a new type of war equipment?"

The new Jin envoy said that it was the kind that killed the cavalry on the right side of the camp not long ago.

"It's actually true?!" The officials in the palace recalled what the Xiuxian Sect and Li Gang had said before, and their hearts were filled with turmoil and shock.

Zhao Huan even directly asked the Jin envoy: "Ambassador, you said that more than 10,000 cavalry were really killed on the right side of the camp? Is it really our Song army that did it?"

Seeing that the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were "pretending to be stupid", the Jin Dynasty remembered the general's instructions in his mind, softened his tone and said: "Let's do this, as long as you are willing to hand over the equipment, the amount of compensation can be reduced by half!"

"hiss!!"

There seemed to be ten thousand donkeys sucking in the cold air in the huge hanging arch hall.

This is the first time in many days that the Jin Kingdom has compromised on the amount of compensation.

The amount of compensation has also been the most difficult area for both sides to reach agreement on since the peace talks.

Everything can be discussed and changed, including land, population, annual coins, and golden people.

Only the amount of one-time compensation has not decreased, but has been increasing.

This is the reason why peace talks have never been finalized.

It wasn't that the Song Dynasty didn't want to lose money, but that it simply couldn't raise that much gold and silver.

Now, this most difficult item has been loosened!

And it was cut in half!

Huge concession!

A huge success!

There is hope for peace talks!

All the ministers present nodded and smiled happily.

It seems that the Jin people are not giving in but surrendering.

Zhao Huan's face, which had not seen a smile for a long time, softened a lot, and he coaxed Ambassador Jin in a good-natured voice: "Ambassador, please rest assured, I will immediately issue an order to send the equipment. As for the other terms of the peace treaty, are there any changes that need to be made?

"

Seeing Emperor Song's submission, the new envoy regained his arrogant demeanor and waved his hand to indicate that nothing else mattered. He would first send the equipment and talk later.

Geng Nanzhong quietly approached Li Bangyan and said softly: "The incident happened suddenly. Do we need to slow down the plan?"

Li Bangyan nodded and replied: "I want to see what the so-called equipment is first. The Jin people seem to be a little afraid."

Geng Nanzhong also nodded and said: "If the peace talks can be successful, there will be no war in the Song Dynasty, and there will be no need for a general of the world's soldiers and horses. The military power will naturally be returned, otherwise it will be a blatant conspiracy. Hum, the soldiers of the world will fight together.

Of."

"I hope so." Li Bangyan said nothing, secretly glanced at Zhao Huan and Xin Jinshi, who were "the guests and hosts enjoying themselves in harmony", and lowered his eyelids again.

Outside the palace city.

Li Gang and He Guan walked side by side on the path.

"Who is the Xiuxian Sect?" Li Gang took the initiative to ask He Guan with a very low profile, "I see that they seem to have sophisticated firearms."

He Guan stroked his beard and thought for a long time, and sighed softly: "It is probably the largest sect in the martial arts world. They call themselves immortal cultivators. Each one of them has extremely mysterious magical powers and extremely amazing skills. And, as far as I know, most of them are now

The leader of the martial arts alliance in Song Dynasty is under the Xiuxian Sect."

Hearing this, Li Gang nodded slightly with admiration in his eyes: "I never expected that there are such heroes in the world today! It is really my great fortune to be the Song Dynasty!"

"Fortunately, or unfortunately." He Guan shook his head slightly and sighed, "Let's see."

Li Gang was a little confused and turned to look at him.

He Guan didn't say anything more, and summoned an adjutant to ask: "Have the accommodations of the immortals been arranged properly?"

The adjutant summoned another soldier to inquire and replied: "We have specially cleaned up the vacant mansion for the use of the Immortal Cultivation Sect and the Immortal Family."

He Guan nodded. He was about to say lead the way, but he heard the adjutant make a sharp turn: "But the immortals refused and ran outside the city."

"Outside the city?" He Guan and Li Gang looked at each other and hurriedly asked the adjutant: "Which direction?"

"To the west of the city."

"Ready your horses quickly!"

Wait for the two of them to ride their horses "slowly" to the west of the city, open the far gate, climb up the wall and look down.

Good guy!

Under the high city wall, rows and rows of large pots were set up.

There is a fire under the pot, smoke is rising from the pot, the thick soup is boiling, green vegetables and white meat appear and disappear, and waves of strange fragrance blow up in the wind and along the city wall.

"Chi!" The defender standing guard next to him couldn't help but sip his saliva, but because the guardian envoy was right next to him, he didn't dare to be distracted. He raised his head, straightened his chest, and stood straight, staring straight ahead.

Li He, who was the only one cooking porridge with a small stove in the corner, mentally detected the person coming from the wall. He stood up and waved to say hello: "General He, oh, and Mr. Li Gang, can you two come down and have dinner together?"

The 98 soldiers were divided into more than ten pots, eating meat and vegetables and drinking from large bowls. The atmosphere was very lively. When they learned that the general had returned, they cheered loudly.

It is not uncommon in this era to eat food in a large pot similar to hot pot. What is missing is the food in the pot and the spices, oil, salt and sauces.

But how can it be difficult for these things to live in a "fairy home"?

If you have money, you can buy mutton, pork, chicken, and various vegetables. As for spices, oil, salt, etc., you can buy them in your belt in abundance.

This meal made even Yang Zaixing, whose father was an official, feel red and hearty after eating, not to mention the soldiers of He Guan Department who had been eating dry food for many days.

He Guan and Li Gang smiled at each other, randomly found a strong rope to tie up, and quickly lowered themselves down the city, quickly blending into the joyful atmosphere.
