The old emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty had a complicated expression.

He was thinking, what if they provided food and grass to Prince Yan's army, and Prince Yan still refused to leave and attacked them again?

Wouldn't that make everyone in the world laugh to death?

Tennouyan's face was also extremely gloomy, as if covered with a layer of frost, which made people shudder.

His eyes drifted towards Liu Neng from time to time, and his eyes were full of doubt and vigilance.

This Liu Neng is really too mysterious. Two years ago, he appeared out of nowhere in the imperial city. Within a few short months, he became famous and was honored by everyone as "Master Liu".

Afterwards, even the emperor showed favor to him. Not only did he summon him personally, but he also gradually listened to his words and trusted him without a doubt.

Whether it was state affairs or palace trivia, the emperor would seek the advice of Master Liu.

Especially in the open and covert struggles among several princes, Master Liu has repeatedly demonstrated his amazing insight, accurately calculating the hidden forces behind the princes of each side and informing the emperor in a timely manner.

With the help of this information, the emperor successfully eliminated a prince who attempted to rebel and his followers, and imprisoned them forever. All of the prince's followers were eliminated.

A strange feeling arose in Tenno Wuyan's heart.

He felt that Liu Neng was not sincerely helping the emperor consolidate his power, but was deliberately disrupting the situation in the Jin Dynasty, causing those originally talented princes to be hated by the emperor one by one.

Despite this, the emperor's power did become more stable, but the military and national strength of the Jin Dynasty were seriously affected and gradually declined.

Faced with the complicated situation before him, Chanwuyan was worried.

He knew that he had to be careful, as any mistake could lead to his downfall...

The more Chanwuyan thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

He suddenly looked straight at Master Liu.

"Which country is Master Liu from?"

"It shouldn't be our Great Jin people, right?"

Liu Neng raised his eyebrows, "Yes, I am not from the Great Jin."

Even if he wanted to say that he was from the Great Jin Dynasty, he didn't look like one.

Tenon Wuyan frowned, "Who are you?"

Liu Neng smiled, "I have been practicing in the mountains since I was born. The mountain I am in is at the border between Annan and Wala during the Great Sheng Dynasty!"

"So, in fact, I am not a member of any country."

The old emperor had actually asked about this before and had also investigated secretly, so he knew that what Liu Neng said was true!

He smiled and said, "Yes, Master Liu is the master sent by heaven to protect us."

"Although his bloodline is not that of our Great Jin people, he is protecting our Great Jin people. So Master Liu is our Great Jin people."

Suo Wuyan frowned, but did not dare to openly refute the old emperor's words. Privately, he will continue to investigate the true identity of this Master Liu.

Liu Neng knew that Suo Wuyan suspected him, but he didn't care. Anyway, he was about to leave and reunite with his master.

He looked at the current situation and realized that he had almost reached an agreement with the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he prepared to turn around and leave.

At this time, the old emperor hurriedly called out to him, "Master Liu, please wait a moment!"

"From what you just said, the reason why the King of Yan's army did not move was because of the lack of food and fodder."

The old emperor said thoughtfully, "Then according to your opinion, should I send some food and fodder to them?"

"In this way, perhaps they will evacuate on their own initiative. What do you think?"

Liu Neng smiled slightly, with an imperceptible curve at the corner of his mouth.

He responded softly, "Your Majesty, this matter is entirely up to you. If you think what I said is wrong, you can send an envoy to the King of Yan's camp to investigate the truth."

The old emperor thought about it for a moment and felt that what Liu Neng said made a lot of sense. So after Liu Neng left, he immediately gave orders to Suo Wuyan.

"Tongwuyan, thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip."

"Go and ask the King of Yan when he is willing to withdraw his troops. At the same time, find out what other demands they have. If they are not too demanding, try to satisfy them. As long as they can withdraw their troops as soon as possible, it will be a great achievement."

Ten Wuyan took the order and left, but just one day later, he returned to the palace with an angry and livid face, and presented a list to the old emperor.

The old emperor took the list with doubts in his heart, but after just a quick glance, his expression instantly became extremely gloomy.

One thousand carts of food and fodder, five million ounces of silver, five thousand war horses, one hundred boxes of various gems, a gold mine, ...

The old emperor opened his eyes wide, staring at the extremely long list in front of him, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

"This... this is simply greedy and exorbitant!" He roared angrily, his voice deafening.

Suo Wuyan was also furious, but when he thought of the scene when he met with King Yan and his generals yesterday, a trace of fear surged in his heart.

Each of those people had a hideous face and bloodshot eyes, as if they might fall into a state of madness at any time.

This kind of madness made Suo Wuyan feel afraid, for he was afraid that he would anger King Yan and others if he was not careful.

He knew very well that if the Prince of Yan really got angry and led his army into the imperial city, there would be a bloody massacre, and by then not even a complete tile would be left.

And all the wealth and power within the imperial city will fall into the hands of Prince Yan.

What’s even more terrifying is that if the imperial city falls, it would mean the end of the Jin Dynasty.

This is a heavy consequence that no one can bear.

The old emperor naturally understood the interests involved.

The old emperor gritted his teeth and stared at the list in his hand again, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.

However, despite his reluctance, he still tried to make one last effort, raised his head and looked directly at Sun Wuyan and asked.

"Is there no room for negotiation? Can we discuss the price?"

Suo Wuyan looked ashamed, but reluctantly took out another list from his pocket and presented it to the emperor respectfully.

The old emperor couldn't wait to take it and quickly unfolded it to take a look.

Just one glance and he was so angry that he felt dizzy and almost fainted.

The conditions listed on this second list are even more outrageous and excessive than the previous ones.

Not only did they demand large quantities of gold, silver, jewelry, food and supplies, but even more abominable was that they even involved several Jin cities that the King of Yan had not yet conquered!

In addition, the Prince of Yan even planned to send troops to the imperial city of the Great Jin Dynasty and force the old emperor to abdicate and pass the throne to his younger brother.

However, the old emperor's younger brother was a stupid man who was still breastfeeding even at his advanced age.

The old emperor was so angry that his face turned blue. He knew without much thought the sinister intentions of Prince of Yan and others.

Tenwuyan naturally knew that he must not agree to the conditions in the first list, otherwise he would probably be the first to be killed by the emperor.

Therefore, he tried his best to persuade King Yan all day long, but failed to change his mind.

In the end, it was the young general named Qiu under the command of Prince Yan who stood up and said a few good words for him, and the situation took a slight turn for the better.
