A few days later, in front of Weiyang Palace.
The court officials took off their swords and shoes, but Ning Que remained fully clothed in his hat and robes. As a prince, he enjoyed the privilege of entering the palace with his sword and shoes on, entering the court without bowing, and bowing without being named.
"The Xiliang delegation is coming today."
"I wonder if Prince Ning is sure?"
"It's okay."
"That's not bad." Tian Zhongxun rolled his eyes and sneered, "You and I have made a bet. If you lose, you will be stripped of your title and demoted to a commoner!"
"King Qi should prepare the books in advance."
"hehe……"
Tian Zhongxun sneered repeatedly.
Ning Que won't cry until he sees the coffin!
Falling into a trap without knowing it.
He had already sent someone to meet secretly with the envoy from Xiliang in advance.
Tell them all the conditions of Dafeng.
Tell them not to agree to it!
As long as Ning Que is eliminated, Gu Yuan can be helped to take the throne.
This is a typical case of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
As for national honor and disgrace?
They don't care at all.
All Tian Zhongxun cares about is power!
As long as Ning Que can be eliminated, everything will be fine.
In order to get Xiliang to agree, he promised huge profits.
Once Gu Yuan is in charge of the negotiations, we can make appropriate concessions.
In short, Xiliang will never suffer any loss.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Now Xiliang already knows Dafeng’s trump card.
I believe you have made all the necessary preparations.
Tian Zhongxun's eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead person. Now everyone in the court and Xiliang was his ally. What could Ning Que do to fight him?!
"Enter the palace——"
Ning Que straightened his clothes and calmly entered the hall.
Emperor Feng had already sat on the imperial couch in advance.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"Long live His Majesty, long live the Great Feng!"
"My Lords, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty—"
Emperor Feng looked at Ning Que and said calmly, "Prince Ning, the Western Liang envoys are already outside the palace, led by the eldest princess, Samuel. Are you confident that you can facilitate peace talks by signing a bet with the Prince of Qi?"
"I will not fail in my mission."
"good!"
Only then did Emperor Feng nod.
He didn't ask any further questions.
Because he believed in Ning Que.
Trust people you employ; don’t employ people you don’t trust.
This is his usual method.
He glanced at Manager Hu next to him.
The latter immediately waved his whisk.
"Announce the Xiliang envoy to the emperor—"
"Announce the Xiliang envoy to the emperor—"
"Announce the Xiliang envoy to the emperor—"
The paging calls continued one after another.
All the officials looked outside the door and waited quietly.
They also wanted to see Ning Que's abilities.
Can you bear the title of Prince?
After a moment, a beautiful figure came in.
He is tall, about seven feet tall.
Her hair was long and flowing, braided on both sides.
There is also an agate necklace hanging on her chest.
By the way, this gem is so big and white!
Several people from Xiliang followed behind her.
But they all looked very rugged, with huge muscles, arms almost as thick as their thighs. They all had beards, and their chests were exposed so that their chest hair could be seen.
What's this about?
Beauty and the Beast?
Ning Que frowned.
"Xiliang Special Envoy Samuel greets Emperor Feng."
"Princess, you are a guest from afar. Please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Emperor Feng!"
Samuel stood up and took a seat.
The cunning eyes stared straight at Ning Que.
Is this the newly enthroned Prince Ning?
She is the eldest princess of Xiliang Kingdom.
When I was young, I heard my grandfather mention King Dafengning.
It is said that although he is an enemy, he is a true hero.
At the Battle of Yumen Pass, Prince Ning's route was revealed. His retreat was cut off, and both his left and right flanks were decimated by the main force of the Western Liang army. Finally, 30,000 wounded were trapped in Hulu Valley, yet none surrendered. Despite this desperate situation, the old Prince Ning was able to lead his personal guards and repel more than ten charges from the main force of the Western Liang army.
My grandfather said that Xiliang could have trapped them to death at that time.
However, the morale of Xiliang was completely destroyed.
Hulu Valley was littered with broken limbs, a scene reminiscent of hell. With his food supplies exhausted, the old King Ning resorted to cannibalism, devouring countless people raw with large mouthfuls, breaking down their defenses.
Besides, what would happen if the Dafeng reinforcements arrived?
If they let the tiger go back to the mountains, all their efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, he must kill Prince Ning at all costs!
In the end they won!
Prince Ning and three major generals died in battle!
The main force of the imperial guards were all killed in the battle, and no one survived.
However, Xiliang also paid an extremely painful price.
…
Ning Que also looked at the beauty in front of him.
After all, she is a princess on the grassland.
There is a very unique wildness that makes people want to tame it.
Of course, he didn't dare underestimate her. He had long heard of Samuel's deeds. Samuel had been intelligent since childhood and favored by the ruler of Xiliang. She also had a Fengren teacher who taught her the elegant language and customs of Dafeng. Samuel was eloquent and quite talented.
"Princess, you are polite."
"This time, I will negotiate on behalf of Dafeng."
"A few months ago, Dafeng defeated the main force of Xiliang. Since Xiliang has suffered a defeat and is seeking peace, it must show some sincerity. From now on, Xiliang must formally submit to Dafeng and pay tribute every year to demonstrate its sincerity."
"Wait a minute." Samuel stood up without any fear and said calmly, "We in Xiliang believe in the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. If you want us in Xiliang to surrender, then Dafeng will have to show some strength."
After saying this, the warriors behind him moved forward.
Bang!
Many generals stood up at the same time.
They looked like they were going to fight if they had a disagreement.
Ning Que raised his hand to signal them to retreat, sneering, "Western Liang's main force has been severely damaged, and I'm afraid they no longer have the strength to enter the pass. Our Dafeng is vast and rich in resources. As long as Western Liang refuses to surrender, Dafeng can continue to fight."
