Chapter 148 Da He Talks Peace
Ling Chan seems to have brought nothing with her now, but in fact she is ready to take something out of the space at any time.
"Marquis Zhenbei, you are such a prodigy, I really admire you."
"I am a rough man, and I don't like you Daqi people to speak in a roundabout way."
"I will speak frankly."
The Wolf King stared at Ling Chan and said, "I sincerely invite the Marquis of Zhenbei to join my Da He and serve me."
"As long as the Marquis of Zhenbei is willing, I promise that you will enjoy supreme glory in my Dahe..."
"You can even surpass me."
The Wolf King's eyes showed admiration, "I can also summon all the outstanding men in Dahe for you, my Lord, to choose from."
Ling Chan touched her nose. This... was quite a lot.
But no matter how much he gave, it was useless. "Wolf King, I am a Great Prayer."
"If I betray Daqi and work for Dahe just because of the promises made by the Wolf King."
"Then... Wolf King, will you be able to sleep peacefully from now on?"
How could the Dahit people trust a person who could even abandon his own country?
No fool would make such a choice, right?
The Wolf King walked around Ling Chan for a few steps, "The Marquis of Zhenbei is loyal and patriotic, and I admire him."
"I hope Daqi will not disappoint the loyalty of the Marquis of Zhenbei."
Ling Chan glanced at him sideways.
The Wolf King retreated to his subordinates and said, "Military generals have always feared being overpowered and threatening their rulers. The Marquis of Zhenbei commands extraordinary forces and has made remarkable military achievements. I hope he won't provoke the Emperor Daqi to become wary."
Ling Chan naturally couldn't foresee what the future would be like, but she couldn't afford to lose in front of the enemy king.
"Don't worry, Wolf King. I, the Great Qi Emperor, am not a suspicious person. What your Highness is worried about will definitely not happen."
"If the Wolf King has nothing else to say, I would also like to offer him some advice."
"Da He is no match for Da Qi now. There is no point in persisting any longer. It is better to surrender as soon as possible."
"Goodbye."
Ling Chan was in mid-air, slowly retreating...
The people around the Wolf King approached him and said, "Wolf King, she was alone. Why didn't we..."
"Humph." The Wolf King snorted coldly, "Since she dares to do it alone, is she afraid of us?"
The Wolf King's subordinates were stunned. That's what they said, but...she was just a little girl under 20 years old. There were so many of them here. Could they really not hurt her?
Then this Zhenbei Hou...
"Your Majesty, now..."
"Contact that person and tell him that I, Da He, am willing to form an alliance with him." The Wolf King looked at the direction where Ling Chan left.
"I want to see what expression the Marquis of Zhenbei would have if he knew..."
This girl is so calm and composed that she is even more frightening than her mother.
Ling Chan returned to the courtyard of He Yunfu City and saw that Xiao Jin was still there.
"You don't have to wait for me here." Ling Chan said.
Xiao Jin whispered, "I'll be relieved only when I'm sure you're okay."
Ling Chan hummed.
"Is it the Dahe people?" Xiao Jin asked.
Ling Chan still hummed, "Wolf King."
"What does he want to do?"
Ling Chan: "He wants me to work for Da He."
Xiao Jin nodded.
"Why don't you ask me how I answered?" Ling Chan was curious. Why didn't he ask? Not curious?
Xiao Jin chuckled, "Of course you won't agree. What else do you want to ask?"
Ling Chan raised her eyebrows. If he knew that she was not a Daqi person, he would not be so sure.
"Go back and rest early." Xiao Jin said.
Ling Chan glanced at him and returned to her room.
But she couldn't sleep, she was thinking about what the Wolf King said.
His achievements were so great that the emperor was wary...
Thinking of the original owner's mother, Gong Lele, she lost her life because of a groundless rumor and was feared by the Queen Mother.
"Oh..." sighed.
Ling Chan now only hopes that the emperor will not be like his mother, who believes everything she hears.
Twenty days passed and Da He still did not take any action.
Just when everyone was feeling strange, Da He sent an envoy, holding the letter from the Da He Emperor and the Da Qi for peace.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.
Xiao Heng had mentioned in his previous imperial edict that if Da He wanted to negotiate peace, he would immediately bring their delegation to Beijing for negotiations.
Although Da He negotiated for peace, Da He had gone back on his word before, so Liu Hong could not enter the capital.
He wanted to stay at the border and continue to guard He Yun Mansion.
So, Ling Chan left behind two hundred sisters from Qingyi Tower who were equipped with special equipment, and she, Xiao Jin, Liu Huaiyu, and other martial arts seniors to escort the delegation to Beijing.
This was also the meaning of Xiao Heng's imperial edict. He wanted Ling Chan to bring the martial arts predecessors to Beijing to receive the reward.
Daqi agreed to negotiate peace, and Dahe quickly reported the list of the delegation.
The Da He delegation, headed by the Wolf King, entered Da Qi with twenty personal soldiers.
Because Dahe and Daqi were not used to the climate there, more than 20 people along the way began to feel unwell, which delayed them for a long time.
But during this period of time, the relationship between Ling Chan and Xiao Jin became even more ambiguous.
As they were about to arrive in the capital, Liu Huaiyu suddenly brought up something.
"Ling Chan." Liu Huaiyu sat in the front of the carriage, leaning against Ling Chan. "You and the seniors made the greatest contribution to the Dahe peace talks this time."
"The Emperor will definitely reward you..."
"But," she raised her eyebrows jokingly, "I think the emperor will still... grant you a marriage."
Seeing Ling Chan's disbelief, Liu Huaiyu began to analyze, "Look, you're already seventeen, right? And you broke off your engagement with King Huai."
"The Emperor will definitely grant you a marriage this time."
"Even if the emperor doesn't grant you a marriage, you can't avoid getting married when you return this time."
Liu Huaiyu held Ling Chan's arm and whispered in her ear, "Prince Rui has been very caring towards you along the way. He's even more attentive than before."
"The wound on his face should be almost healed. I think he's fine..."
Ling Chan rolled her eyes helplessly, "Liu Huaiyu!"
"Actually, I think Vice General Wang is not bad either."
Her serious expression made Liu Huaiyu stunned.
When she realized that Ling Chan was teasing her, she slapped Ling Chan on the chest.
"Hehe, cough..." Ling Chan was not paying attention and started coughing violently.
Her voice immediately caught Xiao Jin's attention.
Seeing this, Liu Huaiyu burst into laughter again.
Ling Chan was also helpless...
In this way, we arrived in the capital city easily.
The Wolf King and his twenty personal soldiers were taken over by Ling Rui and taken to the Sifang Pavilion, which was specially set up to receive diplomatic missions.
Xiao Jin returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, and Liu Huaiyu returned to the Liu Mansion.
Ling Chan brought the martial arts masters back to the Ling Mansion.
In the next few days, Liu Huaiyu asked Ling Chan out for tea several times just to hear some recent gossip.
"I heard from my parents that your grandmother has returned to Beijing." Liu Huaiyu took a sip of tea...
Grandmother? Ling Chan paused as she was about to pick up the tea. She even had a grandmother?
Recalling the original owner's memory, this grandmother...hadn't appeared for several years, and she thought she was dead.
It turns out he wasn't dead.
"I guess she rushed back because word of Ruan Yiyu and the others' affairs reached the Ling family's old house."
"I heard that she has been looking for a replacement for your father."
Ling Chan took a sip of tea and said, "With Ling Rui's current official position, who among the noble ladies in the capital would marry him?"
Liu Huaiyu clicked his tongue twice and waved his fingers in front of her eyes, "Then you underestimate your father."
"Although your father is not young now, he is still very handsome. Back then, how many girls in the capital were attracted to him? In the end, he married your mother."
Ling Chan's expression darkened. Gong Lele was unlucky to meet Ling Rui...
"I heard that the negotiation is almost done. She is the daughter of the Minister of War."
Ling Chan didn't know much about the situation of officials in the capital.
"The daughter of the Minister of War? Why would she marry Ling Rui?"
The Ministry of War has the greatest power among the six ministries. The daughter of the Vice Minister of War...even if she wants to marry into the royal palace, she can do so. Why choose a widower?
The key point is that this widower has a legitimate son and a difficult legitimate daughter...
"The daughter of the Minister of War...her husband died two years ago, and she has been living in the Minister's residence for the past two years."
Liu Huaiyu got a lot of information from her father, who was a censor.
"I heard that the daughter of this minister is not an easy person to deal with."
"It's just that in order to get her to remarry, her family put on a good show."
"If you marry into the Ling Mansion, your grandmother, your brother, and even your father will have a hard time."
Ling Chan shrugged indifferently, this had nothing to do with her.
"There's one more thing." Liu Huaiyu had been away from the capital for so long, and as soon as he came back, he seemed to be full of gossip.
She blinked mysteriously and said, "Since the Queen Mother passed away, Prince Huai has become much more obedient."
"Yesterday morning, at the court, he asked the emperor to marry someone..."
Ling Chan was not interested in Xiao Yi's affairs either.
This man is really boring.
When Ling Xueyao was not yet of age, he had sex with her without caring about her reputation.
But after Ling Xueyao died, he seemed to have lost all motivation.
I don’t know whether his feelings for Ling Xueyao are true or false.
"Oh no." Liu Huaiyu was very disappointed that Ling Chan didn't cooperate, so he just threw out the answer directly, "He wants to marry the Marquis of Zhenbei, Ling Chan!"
"That's you." He raised his eyebrows, blinked, and looked at Ling Chan.
Ling Chan was surprised. "What?"
Liu Huaiyu pointed at her and laughed, "Finally, there's a reaction, right?"
"Are you teasing me?"
"How dare I?" Liu Huaiyu poured tea for Ling Chan, "It's true."
"But it was rejected by the officials and the emperor."
She raised her head as if to take credit, "My father was the first one to stand up and oppose it."
"This man is really interesting. He disregarded your dignity and stayed with Ling Xueyao... and now he has the nerve to ask you to marry him..."
Ling Chan looked at her for a long moment before asking, "I heard that you, Huaiyu, also admired him back then, right?"
"Pah, pah, pah!" Liu Huaiyu spat out hastily, "Don't mention that. It's too unlucky."
After she finished speaking, she pinched Ling Chan's arm and said, "Ling Chan, I'm telling you, if you dare to agree, I will break up with you."
"Hehe..." Ling Chan laughed.
Ling Chan just thought Liu Huaiyu was joking and didn't take it to heart.
But she didn't expect that Xiao Yi actually came to Ling Mansion.
"What?" Ling Chan exaggeratedly scratched her ear with her little finger.
"Miss, Prince Huai is out and wants to see you." Hongdou also looked incredulous. "Miss, what does he want to do?"
Ling Chan naturally remembered what Liu Huaiyu said yesterday.
"No!" Ling Chan refused without thinking.
When Ling Chan thought about Xiao Yi having that kind of idea, she felt disgusted just seeing him.
But at this time, the voice of King Huai Xiao Yi came from outside the yard.
"Ling Chan, come out, I know you are here."
"Miss, I'll go chase him away." Hongdou volunteered, rolled up her sleeves and rushed out.
"Hongdou." Ling Chan called her, "I can do it myself."
Ling Chan was wearing a light grey gown, a high ponytail, and a red ribbon, looking heroic.
During these few months at the border, she has grown taller and has truly grown up. Just a flying red ribbon makes her look bright and charming.
As for Xiao Yi, no one knew what he had been through. He looked haggard and gloomy.
"Ling Chan..." Xiao Yi looked at the woman walking towards him in disbelief.
She is Ling Chan? She is actually Ling Chan...
"Prince Huai came to my Ling Mansion. What's the matter?" Ling Chan was shorter than Xiao Yi, but he was very imposing. He asked this question in a condescending manner.
Xiao Yi swallowed his saliva. He was still thinking about asking Ling Chan to come to the palace to propose marriage, and then he would marry her without holding any grudges.
After all, she is now famous for her bravery and fighting skills, and no man is willing to marry her.
But now that he saw Ling Chan, he admitted that he felt ashamed of himself...
He's actually afraid that no man would dare to marry her?!
With a woman like Ling Chan, why should she be afraid that no one would marry her?
He had already thought of something, but he couldn't say it...
"If Prince Huai is fine, please leave." Ling Chan raised her eyebrows and ordered him to leave.
Xiao Yi hesitated...
If he leaves, he and Ling Chan will never have another chance.
Ever since his mother passed away, his royal brother has ignored him. When the affairs between him and Ling Xueyao got out, no one was willing to marry their daughter into the palace.
Those low-ranking officials wanted to do so, but Xiao Yi was unwilling.
In this way, you can neither go low nor high.
So he thought of Ling Chan again.
During the time Ling Chan was at the border, he had been thinking about this matter, but he didn't expect that Ling Chan was unwilling.
"Ling Chan... This King..."
"Why is Brother Huai Wang in Ling Mansion?" Xiao Jin, wearing a mask, walked over under the guidance of the doorman.
Ling Chan glanced at him. What happened today? Why did they get together?
Xiao Jin walked to Ling Chan and stopped, and faced Xiao Yi together, "Brother Huai Wang, you have broken off your engagement with the Marquis of Zhenbei."
"I, I know." Xiao Yi said.
"In that case, Brother Huai Wang, please don't bother me at Ling Mansion anymore."
"It would be shameful if such a thing were to get out."
Xiao Yi was very dissatisfied with Xiao Jin's impoliteness.
"Brother Rui, I can't come. What about you? What's your relationship with the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Xiao Jin looked at Ling Chan, "This prince and the Marquis of Zhenbei are friends and comrades-in-arms. We guard the border together and are friends for life and death."
Ling Chan felt helpless and embarrassed, but still gave him face, "Not bad."
Xiao Jin smiled, the curve of his mouth was so round that the mask couldn't hide it...
Xiao Yi looked at the two of them and stomped his feet away in anger.
"Why are you here?" Ling Chan looked away.
Xiao Yi spread his hands, "Will the Marquis of Zhenbei not invite me to have some tea?"
Hongdou came out of the house with tea and cakes, "Prince Rui, please."
Ling Chan walked over helplessly...the two sat down in the pavilion in the yard.
"The Emperor will probably summon the Wolf King in three days. He will also summon us to the palace. Please prepare."
Ling Chan was suspicious. What was there to prepare for?
