Chapter 657: The Invisible Battlefield (Part 2)
I have heard a lot about you.
If most people in the world were standing opposite Wei Changtian at this moment, there would be no problem using these two words.
But Yan Huaiqing. On the one hand, Daning and Dajue are currently at war, and they should be in a hostile relationship, that is, enemies.
On the other hand, although Yan Huanwen is not dead yet, Wei Changtian is still the culprit who kidnapped him, and he is also the enemy who captured Yan Huaiqing's biological father.
Furthermore, even if Yan Huaiqing has not yet become emperor, he is still a prince of a country, while Wei Changtian is still a commoner on the surface.
Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, Yan Huaiqing should not and cannot be so "modest".
But he just said that.
“.”
After taking a deep look at the smiling man in front of him, a smile slowly appeared on Wei Changtian's lips.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
"I have long heard that Your Highness is a man of both civil and military talents, and has unparalleled talent in the world."
"After seeing it today, I found that it really lives up to its reputation."
“.”
While saying "I've heard a lot about you" and "I'm here".
On the one hand, I have "seen it" and "heard about it for a long time".
The opening remarks between Wei Changtian and Yan Huaiqing when they first met were as outrageous as they could be.
However, neither Chu Xianping, Li Zimu, nor the second-rank general showed the slightest surprise. They just stood behind the two men with their heads down and remained silent.
"Hahaha, Master Wei, you're too polite."
On the other side, the two of them continued their polite exchanges.
Yan Huaiqing laughed heartily and said, "What do you mean by being both civil and military? It's just nonsense from the people in this remote place of Dajue who have never seen the world and only see the world from a narrow perspective."
"Yu Wen, sir, who doesn't know your poetic talent?"
"Yu Wu, you are already a third-rank warrior at such a young age, and you can fight a second-rank warrior alone without being weak."
"If you ask me, Master Wei, you are the one who deserves the title of both civil and military proficiency."
"What am I compared to that?"
“.”
Yan Huaiqing once again gave a round of "flattery", not only with reasons and evidence, but also did not forget to belittle himself.
But this time Wei Changtian did not "reciprocate", he just smiled and said: "Since Your Highness has said so, there is no point in me being modest, it will only make me look hypocritical."
"But Your Highness, knowing how to write poetry is useless to us. No matter how good we are at fighting, how can we defeat an army of thousands?"
"After all, who is strong and who is weak is determined by who can live longer, right?"
"Is that the truth?"
“.”
The sun was still bright and dazzling, and there was no strong wind around.
But when Wei Changtian finished saying these words, everyone felt a chill.
This chill came not only from Wei Changtian, but also from Yan Huaiqing.
"yes."
Looking at Wei Changtian meaningfully, the sincere smile on Yan Huaiqing's face faded away little by little.
"Master Wei has spoken the truth of this matter. I admire you."
"It is not easy for Your Highness to understand what I mean so quickly."
Wei Changtian slightly turned his body aside and said calmly, "Your Highness, please."
“.”
After so much nonsense, both sides were ready to enter the palace for peace talks.
Chu Xianping glanced at the Shu army commander, who immediately understood and led all the Shu soldiers out of the hall through the side door.
Soon, only five people were left in the hall: Wei Changtian, Yan Huaiqing, Chu Xianping, Li Zimu, and the second-rank general.
And these five people are about to decide the life and death of more than one million people, and even the survival of several countries, through a negotiation.
The importance of such negotiations is self-evident, and their significance is even more extraordinary.
Judging from the number of people, Wei Changtian, with one more person, seemed to have the upper hand.
But even on the battlefield, the side with more people may not necessarily win, let alone at the negotiating table.
Bargaining and deception.
At the end of the day, negotiation is like a game of cards.
The chips and cards of both parties are determined before the game begins, and the only thing that can be changed is the card-playing strategy.
If this is the case, then the number of players doesn't mean much.
It is enough for one person to play a card; no matter how many people there are, they can only make one decision.
What's more, "Master Wei, there is still one person who has not arrived."
Suddenly, Yan Huaiqing smiled and said, "This person had an emergency at home, so he didn't come with me."
"But I think it will be here soon. Please wait for a moment, sir."
“.”
At this critical juncture, Yan Huaiqing suddenly said that one of them had not arrived yet?
Is there something going on at home?
What could be more important than peace talks?
Are you so lazy that you can't come up with a better excuse???
It is obvious that the excuse Yan Huaiqing made could not be more false.
But there was one other person he was definitely talking about.
"That's fine, we'll just wait for him to come."
Glancing at Yan Huaiqing, Wei Changtian complained madly in his heart, but he couldn't say much on the surface, so he just nodded slightly.
Since they had to wait for someone, it would not be a good idea to just wait, so the two sides took this opportunity to introduce the other three people to each other.
"Your Highness, this is Master Chu, and this is Miss Li. Both of them are guests of my Wei family."
"Master Wei, this is General Xu, the leader of our Great Awakening Imperial Guards."
“.”
There is no doubt that Chu Xianping is definitely included in the intelligence Yan Huaiqing has, but Li Zimu is not. This can be seen from the look in his eyes when he looks at the two of them.
As for the imperial guard leader named Xu Heng , Wei Changtian nodded at him expressionlessly, but he was speechless in his heart.
My goodness, is Yan Huanwen's control over the Dajue court so weak? The leader of the imperial guards is actually Yan Huaiqing's man.
Wait a moment.
It seems that Han Zhao once stabbed Ning Yongnian in the back as the commander of the imperial guards.
It seems that we cannot blame these emperors for their inability to rule their subjects, but rather that there are too many bad people. After thinking about it for a while, Wei Changtian casually asked Yan Huaiqing.
"Your Highness, I wonder who is the person who has not yet arrived?"
“Oh, this person’s last name”
Yan Huaiqing was just about to answer when a burst of hurried horse hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.
Turning his head to look at the dozen or so riders galloping towards him, he smiled slightly and said:
"Just in time, he's here."
“.”
Judging from Yan Huaiqing's current appearance, he undoubtedly attaches great importance to this person. Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and did not ask any further questions. After looking at Chu Xianping, he silently waited for the arrival of this mysterious person.
Soon, the dozen or so riders were getting closer and closer, and the figures on horseback gradually became clearer.
Except for one man in black, the rest were all Silver-Armored Imperial Guards.
Then the former is undoubtedly the real culprit.
"Whoa!"
The man in black reined in his warhorse, walked through the thousands of silver-armored soldiers outside the palace, and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
Looking at the man's unfamiliar face, Wei Changtian felt a little uneasy for some reason.
The fluctuation of true Qi is not strong, probably only about the sixth or fifth grade.
He is about the same age as me, and judging from his clothes, he doesn't seem to be a high-ranking official.
So, why did Yan Huaiqing attach so much importance to this person, not only asking him to participate in the peace talks, but also waiting for him willingly? The more Wei Changtian thought about it, the more confused he became. The man in black came closer and closer until he stood in front of Yan Huaiqing.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being late!"
“Hahaha, no problem!”
Patting the man in black on the shoulder gently, Yan Huaiqing turned around with a smile and introduced to Wei Changtian:
"Master Wei, his name is Tang Chen."
