In order to negotiate with Northern Qi, the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Jing Dynasty worked very hard, practicing hitting sandbags every day and going to the market to watch shrews scolding in the streets to learn from their experience.

During the three-day negotiation, the officials from the Ministry of Rites were eloquent, spitting, aggressive, and even fighting.

Amu and Mo'er took the opportunity to beat up several Northern Qi officials. They felt so good. Unfortunately, they didn't beat the Third Prince of Northern Qi. Both of them felt very sorry.

When Amu was a hostage in Northern Qi, he was often bullied by the princes of Northern Qi.

The third prince of Northern Qi did not expect Jing Chao to be so shameless. He resorted to violence when negotiations failed. After three days, except for him, all the envoys had bruises and scratches on their faces and hands. They were simply a bunch of shrews.

The envoys from Northern Qi were miserable. They couldn't scold or fight, and they had to endure the humiliation. They were as angry as toads.

Every day when he got home, Mo'er would describe the negotiation situation in a vivid and emotional way, and the excitement of the description left everyone stunned.

Afterwards, everyone regretted that they should have been able to participate in the negotiations.

Mo Er said regretfully, "It's a pity that we didn't attack the Third Prince of Northern Qi. We only attacked a few officials."

The kung fu I learned finally came in handy. The ones who were most seriously injured and had two panda eyes were the ones who were killed by Amu and Moer.

They know they are being permissive, and after years of being bullied, it's normal for them to let out some steam. They won't kill someone, but they will hurt them.

After three days of nonsense, formal negotiations began on the fourth and fifth days. On the fourth day, it was all Northern Qi people who made the proposals, while the Jing Dynasty listened and took notes carefully. Such normal Jing Dynasty officials gave the Northern Qi envoys a sense of foreboding.

The Northern Qi envoys had a good premonition. On the fifth day, when Jing Chao strongly refuted, they broke the Northern Qi's conditions one by one and threw out many explosive things, strangling the Northern Qi's neck in one fell swoop.

Finally, the officials of Jing Dynasty took out the maps of the two countries and asked Northern Qi to retreat twenty miles along the border line and the northern gate to retreat a thousand miles.

The emperor had his eye on the nearby pastures, which would allow Jingchao to raise horses. Northern Qi retreated twenty miles along the border, leaving a small country nearby. By then, it would still be within Jingchao's grasp.

Even though it's only twenty miles, it's along the border, with abundant resources and fertile land.

Of course, compensation must be paid for Jing Dynasty’s losses, including gold, silver, treasures, cattle, sheep and horses. It is not enough to just give them now, but every year in the future.

The compensation required is greater and richer than seven years ago.

It’s okay not to give it to us. With Jingchao’s current strength, we can directly attack the capital of Northern Qi.

Some of Northern Qi's secrets were known to Jing Dynasty, and they were now like meat on the chopping board, and could only be slaughtered by Jing Dynasty. As a last resort, Northern Qi signed the terms.

After signing the contract, the Jing Dynasty officials carefully checked it to make sure it was correct. After both parties put it away, the Jing Dynasty officials hugged the Northern Qi envoys and said, "Thank you, thank you for your generosity."

This sentence almost made the Third Prince of Northern Qi and the envoys vomit blood in anger. They didn't want to be generous at all.

When the people outside knew that Northern Qi had signed the contract and Jing Dynasty had returned the seven years of humiliation, they all dressed in bright colors, held big red flowers, beat drums and gongs, and celebrated happily.

The Third Prince of Northern Qi was furious throughout the entire process, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. After returning to the guild hall, he summoned his confidant and instructed, "Since the contract has been signed, there's no need to keep these three. Let's deal with them."

The confidant wanted to kill three princes in one day, "Your Highness wants to put the blame on Jing Chao?"

"Jingchao got a great advantage this time. It's not that easy to get things from Northern Qi, those three useless guys. Northern Qi has supported them for so many years, let them make some contributions to Northern Qi in the end."

The Third Prince of Northern Qi instructed, "Send the best assassins."

"yes!"

That night, the breeze was blowing, the moon was not out, and there were only a few worries in the sky.

They will leave Jing Dynasty tomorrow. The three captured princes sat in the courtyard, and had delicious food and wine prepared for them. They drank and sang, bidding farewell to their days in a foreign country.

After three rounds of drinking, the three of them were drunk and took advantage of the alcohol to dance the Northern Qi dance.

It was already midnight, and every household had gone to sleep. Some of the guards began to doze off.

The three princes were drunk and staggered, finally lying on the table and snoring loudly.

On a silent night, several dark shadows jumped out from the darkness and walked into the yard with long swords in hand.

Before killing someone, the black-clad man said, "Your Highnesses, I'm sorry."

Several people raised their swords and stabbed at the vests of the three men. In a flash, the three people who were originally lying on the table quickly dodged and took out weapons from under the table.

The man in black took a closer look and saw that they were not three princes, but masters with great kung fu skills.

At this moment, the entire yard was surrounded by masters.

"I was fooled."

Several men in black knew they would die here tonight, so the leader shouted, "Brothers, fight them!"

The emperor arranged all the soldiers to be his opponents, and soon the men in black were defeated and seriously injured. Knowing that they could not win, they could not be captured alive either, so they bit the poison in their teeth and soon died.

After this was concluded, the Minister of Rites personally met with the Third Prince of Northern Qi. "Your three princes are homesick. On the first day of the negotiations, the Emperor agreed to let them go and return to Northern Qi."

The Minister of Rites smiled and said, "Hurry up and we should reach the Northern Qi territory in a few days."

The third prince of Northern Qi was so angry that his liver hurt. He had already run away. They knew his intentions, and they would definitely not let him go when he returned to Northern Qi.

He said with a forced smile, "Thank you for telling me, sir."

Soon he learned that all the assassins he had sent out were dead, and he had suffered heavy losses. The Emperor of Jing Dynasty was truly great.

It seems that Lao Qi’s death was not unjust. The people of Jing Dynasty were too cunning.

Not wanting to stay in the capital of Jing Dynasty for even a moment, the third prince of Northern Qi took the envoys, who still had bruised faces and noses, to bid farewell to the emperor the next day.

The emperor tried to persuade them to stay, "The weather is beautiful now, and Jingchao is rich in products. Third Prince, why don't you stay a few more days to see Jingchao's scenery and taste its local specialties?"

The Third Prince of Northern Qi said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will return to report after completing my mission and will come again when there is a chance."

The emperor nodded and said, "In that case, I will not try to keep you here. I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor did not prepare any gifts for them, so they had to go back the same way they came.

They had been bullied so badly over the years that the emperor felt sorry for feeding them for so long.

When the Northern Qi delegation left, only a few officials wanted to see them off, and there were few pedestrians on both sides of the street, which was very cold.

When the Northern Qi envoys left the capital, the people celebrated with drums and gongs, singing and dancing.

This time, Amu, Linlang, Moer and Su Jinrui joined in and celebrated with the people.

The emperor stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the celebrating people with a smile on his face.
