"Oh?" Although Lin Hai was a little surprised, he could understand after thinking about it. There are definitely smart people in this world, especially these royal members, each of them is very smart.

Although the intelligence said that Wei Mingyuan was a playboy in the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, from the conversation so far, Lin Hai felt that he must be pretending to be stupid.

"What does this mean, Lord Guazhou?" Lin Hai feigned anger and asked, "Could it be that you still despise the treasures of Qinghe?"

"Qinghe Bo, calm down." Wei Mingyuan bowed and said, "Such a divine object should belong to a virtuous person. Looking at the Great Xia Nation, the most virtuous person is our ruler. Therefore, if this object needs to be presented to the ruler, I will naturally do my best to give it. But if you say it is given to me, I will not accept it."

"Oh~~~~hahahahahaha." Lin Hai looked at Wei Mingyuan, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Zhen'er, go tell the guards in the yard that no one is needed here. Ask them to retreat outside the yard." Lin Hai turned around and gave the order.

Lin Hai then filled their cups with tea and said sternly, "Guazhou Lord, I've been testing you for so long, I'm sure you've had enough. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Wei Mingyuan nodded and said, "Qinghe Bo's words are very much in line with my opinion. There's no need for us to talk in such a roundabout way." He then picked up the teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and said, "Qinghe Bo should know that I came to Qinghe to seek an alliance with you."

Lin Hai keenly heard the implication of Wei Mingyuan's words. Yes, it was not Xia Kingdom that was looking for Qinghe to form an alliance, but it was Wei Mingyuan who came to Lin Hai to form an alliance.

"What do you mean?" Lin Hai asked.

"I'm afraid everyone knows that the Earl of Qinghe has a rebellious heart. The reason why the State of Liang has been slow to act against the Earl of Qinghe is not because it is unaware of the situation, but because it has been burdened by the war and unable to take action. Does the Earl of Qinghe agree with this?" Wei Mingyuan was quite direct.

"That's for sure." Lin Hai nodded and said, "If I were the Emperor of Liang, I would definitely not be able to tolerate Qinghe's existence."

Oh? Liang Huang? Wei Mingyuan found that Lin Hai's words were becoming more and more meaningful.

"If that's the case, then the Earl of Qinghe surely doesn't want to face the Liang army, which has armored infantry and cavalry, right?"

"The armored infantry of Liang Kingdom is indeed powerful, but because of the war, the production of many original iron mines has been reduced. Now they rely on the iron from Qinghe. As for the cavalry, I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor of Liang doesn't have that many horses?" Lin Hai said nonchalantly while filling Wei Mingyuan's cup of tea.

"My Xia country is rich in horses. There is no way that Lord Qinghe doesn't know this, right?" Wei Mingyuan raised his eyes and took a look, then said slowly.

"So, the Marquis of Guazhou has come all the way here just to tell me that Xia wants to cease fire with Liang and then supply Liang with war horses so they can be equipped to fight me?"

Lin Hai laughed and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that a ceasefire between the two countries is not something you can decide. Even if we take a step back, those people in your Xia court, take Zhang Yuan for example, would they support giving the war horses to Liang?"

"It's not the turn of a retainer to manage the affairs of the Weiming family." Weiming Yuan said nonchalantly, "My uncle spent a fortune to choose him. Of course, he does have some abilities and can be considered loyal, but these matters are better decided by the people of the Weiming family."

"In other words, this is already something that Xia Country has decided?" Lin Hai's tone gradually became cold.

"To be honest, I have this plan. I hope Qinghebo can understand." Wei Mingyuan moved his cubic body. After all, it was really uncomfortable to have such a body stuck in the chair for a long time without changing the posture.

"Oh, the Earl of Guazhou is brave. Come on, capture him and use him as a sacrifice when the war breaks out!" Lin Hai shouted.

"slow".

"Hey~~~~ slow down."

Shi Zhener and Wei Mingyuan shouted almost at the same time.

Lin Hai glanced at Shi Zhen'er, then turned sideways and said to her, "Since Zhen'er has spoken, then tell me, why are you so slow?"

Shi Zhen'er looked at Lin Hai and saw he was looking at her seriously, his eyebrows twitching. She knew the boy was up to something again and was willing to play along. She knelt and saluted, "Brother Lin, calm down. I mean, you just chased the guards away, and this guy is so big I can't take him down. So we need to slow down. Let me go get some guards."

"Oh, I see. Then go ahead. Don't worry, this old melon can't hurt me." Lin Hai nodded.

"No, Qinghe Bo, why don't you follow the routine?" Wei Mingyuan's round face was full of bitter smile.

"What's your trick? Are you trying to trick me? Zhen'er, notify the dungeon, prepare the torture instruments, and have all the students in the prison department come and practice."

"Lord Qinghe has misunderstood. Isn't this how our negotiations are always done? I exaggerate and threaten you first, you pretend to be frightened, and then you ask me for advice, and then I tell you everything... This is the standard procedure." Wei Mingyuan said helplessly.

"So the truth is you're just exaggerating to scare me?" Lin Hai said angrily, "Move the execution ground to the square in front of the Earl's Mansion. Carry out the punishment in public, starting with castration!"

"Forget it, forget it. I was wrong. I was too reckless. Please forgive me, Lord Qinghe." Wei Mingyuan, who was really at his wit's end, tried hard to make himself look like he had stood up and bowed.

Although Lin Hai's move was also a false threat to him, after all, they were now in Qinghe, Lin Hai's territory. If he did not admit defeat first, and Lin Hai was unable to save face, he would have to castrate him. Where would he go to seek justice?

Even if Lin Hai was in the wrong for killing the envoy, by the time he had waited for his uncle's army to come and avenge him, he would have been made into Xichuan's famous bacon and sausages by Lin Hai.

Considering that the New Year is coming soon, it feels like I came at a really bad time.
