A few days later, Yun Zheng in the big tent received a report from the soldiers.
Su Zan, the Prime Minister of Western Qiang, only brought four guards to negotiate with Yun Zheng and is now waiting outside the camp.
"This Su Zan is quite courageous! He actually dared to come to negotiate with us with only a few people!"
Shen Luoyan praised.
Yun Zheng laughed and replied: "It's mainly because I have a good reputation. I never kill envoys!"
"You are good at flattering yourself."
Chen Luoyan scolded with a smile on her face.
However, having said that, Yun Zheng is indeed very particular about this matter.
At the beginning, Yun Zheng wanted Fang Yunshi's life so much that even though he had detained Fang Yunshi, he did not take his life directly. Instead, he took Fang Yunshi back from Jia Yao in a fair and just manner and then killed this traitor.
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently and ordered someone to bring Su Zan in.
...
...
Shen Luoyan thought about it, and then said: "Miaoyin and I will temporarily act as your maids to prevent Su Zan from doing anything bad to you."
"It doesn't have to be like this, does it?"
Yun Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is our camp, how dare Su Zan mess around?"
"It's always better to be careful!"
Miaoyin agreed, "Don't you know how many people want to kill you now? You have difficulty walking, and you lost your pistol when you jumped off the cliff. If Su Zan wants to assassinate you, can you guarantee that you can escape?"
After Yun Zheng’s jumping off the cliff, they now pay special attention to Yun Zheng’s safety.
Two days ago, Shen Luoyan forcibly expanded Yun Zheng's personal guards to 3,000 people.
They don't want Yun Zheng to be in any danger now.
After learning about the grief that Yun Zheng had gone through after jumping off a cliff, they never wanted to experience it again.
"Okay!"
Seeing that they insisted, Yun Zheng no longer refused, "However, you don't need to appear as my maids! You are my princess and concubines, it is not your turn to serve tea and water to Su Zan!"
"Isn't this... bad?"
Shen Luoyan frowned slightly, "You bring two concubines to negotiate with others, will people think you are too frivolous?"
"You can't say that." Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "I brought two concubines with me to negotiate with him because I was giving him face! Ordinary people can't even see my concubines if they want to!"
Listening to Yun Zheng's twisted logic, the two women couldn't help but smile at each other.
never mind!
Let him be!
As long as it doesn't affect their negotiations.
The two girls tidied themselves up a bit and then sat down next to Yun Zheng.
Soon, the voice of a soldier was heard outside: "Your Highness, the Western Qiang Prime Minister Su Zan is here!"
"Come in!"
Yun Zheng spoke lightly.
"You stay here, you don't have to follow!"
Su Zan gave an order to the four guards and strode into the tent.
Looking at Miaoyin and Shen Luoyan in the tent, Su Zan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Although Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin were both wearing armor, one could tell at a glance that they were women.
He obviously didn't expect that Yun Zheng would actually meet him with two women.
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Su Zan knelt on one knee and saluted Yun Zheng according to the etiquette of the Moxi tribes: "Su Zan greets the prince!"
"No need to be so polite, Prime Minister."
Yun Zheng chuckled and pointed to his injured leg at Su Zan, "I was injured in the battle on the northern front. My legs and feet are not very convenient, so I can't get up to greet you. I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind."
Su Zan slowly stood up and asked tentatively, "Who are these two?"
Yun Zheng pointed at the two and introduced them: "This is my principal wife, Shen Luoyan! This is my concubine, Miaoyin!"
Upon hearing this, Su Zan immediately bowed to Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin again.
However, this time he just bowed.
"Please take a seat, Prime Minister."
Yun Zheng raised his hand to invite, "Although we are negotiating, there is no need to be so formal. I have already ordered people to prepare wine and food. How about we eat and talk at the same time?"
"It is my honor to drink with His Majesty."
Su Zan kept himself very humble.
It was so low that Yun Zheng couldn't believe it.
Has this tough guy from the Moxi tribes surrendered so quickly?
"Okay then, I'll have someone bring the wine over so we can have a couple of drinks first."
As he spoke, Yun Zheng told Miaoyin to ask someone to bring some wine.
Of course, their wine is still alcohol mixed with water.
Su Zan was not stage-frightened. He sat down confidently and looked at Yun Zheng with interest.
"Is there a flower on my face?"
Yun Zheng asked with a smile.
"No."
Su Zan smiled, "I just didn't expect that the world-famous King Jingbei would be so easy-going."
Yun Zheng laughed and replied: "This is not a battlefield, there is no need to confront each other!"
"Your Highness is right!" Su Zan nodded and smiled, gradually bringing the topic back on track, "To be honest with you, Your Highness, if you don't want to continue fighting, we don't want to continue fighting either! Although it is indeed difficult for us to meet your conditions, we are willing to show our sincerity and make peace with you!"
As Su Zan was speaking, Yun Zheng's personal guards brought up the wine and wine glasses.
Yun Zheng was not in a hurry to negotiate with Su Zan, but instead invited Su Zan to have two glasses of wine first.
However, Yun Zheng did not pour wine for Su Zan, but let Su Zan serve himself.
Su Zan was not polite and directly picked up the wine jug to fill his glass.
Yun Zheng brought the two girls to clink glasses with Su Zan.
After Su Zan drank a glass of wine, his eyes suddenly brightened and he praised, "Good wine!"
“…”
Yun Zheng was speechless, but smiled and said: "If you like it, after we finish talking, I can give you a few pots of this good wine!"
"Thank you very much, Your Highness!" Su Zan did not refuse.
"It's just a few bottles of wine, you're welcome."
Yun Zheng smiled generously, and then continued: "Prime Minister, please tell me about your sincerity."
Su Zan heard this and said straight to the point, "We can only agree to 30% of the compensation that Your Majesty asked for! But I have two conditions."
Thirty percent?
Yun Zheng was secretly surprised.
To be honest, he was somewhat surprised that the tribes in western Mo agreed to pay 30% of the compensation he proposed.
He really is the kind of person who asks for too much.
His bottom line is 20%.
After all, they just extort as much as they can.
Thirty percent is not a small amount!
Although Yun Zheng was happy in his heart, he showed a bit of displeasure on his face, "You only agreed to give me 30%, and you still put forward conditions to me? Do you think this is reasonable?"
Although 30% was already a pleasant surprise, Yun Zheng still wanted more.
At the negotiation table, if you can ask for more, you should definitely ask for more.
"I believe the prince is also prepared for us to pay back the money."
Su Zan smiled, "Your Highness is such a smart person, doesn't he know that we can't afford so much compensation? I really came with the utmost sincerity, and I hope Your Highness will also show sincerity."
The greatest sincerity?
This Su Zan is quite straightforward!
No beating around the bush at all.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment, then looked at Su Zan with interest: "Tell me your two conditions! But if it's about asking me to release the captives, don't mention it!"
