Li Tangyi glanced at him, knowing that business was more important, and chased after him.

This guy is really moody.

The place for the peace talks was in the largest teahouse in Hunyang City. When the two arrived, there were already guards dressed as Hu people guarding the door.

Seeing the two men coming, he folded his hands over his chest, bowed, and led them upstairs.

When she entered, Li Tangyi had a bad feeling in her heart.

It is said that the Hu people are rough and unruly, but the box in front of him was antique and there was a faint aroma of tea wafting out of it.

Could it be that this envoy is someone who knows how to enjoy life?

When she stepped in, Li Tangyi's heart skipped a beat.

Isn’t this envoy the third Xianbei prince Huyan Chen?

Li Tangyi subconsciously hid behind Nangong Jin, fearing that Hu Yanchen would recognize her.

After all, I cheated him once.

Then she felt relieved. She had forgotten how much she had changed. Even Nangong Yue couldn't tell, let alone Hu Yanchen.

She stood beside Nangong Jin with confidence.

"King Xiao, long time no see, I hope you are well."

Huyanchen sipped his tea leisurely and motioned Nangong Jin to sit down.

Nangong Jin was not surprised, as there were many legends about the third prince among the Xianbei. However, he did not expect that he would be bold enough to sneak into Kyoto in person.

"The Third Prince is both brave and resourceful. I admire him very much."

Hu Yanchen smiled and his eyes fell on Li Tangyi.

"This person... looks familiar."

Li Tangyi lowered her head slightly, and her voice became deliberately soft.

"Third Prince, you must have recognized the wrong person. I have never seen you before."

Nangong Jin also smiled and squeezed her hand, then pulled her to sit next to him.

"She is timid, so please don't tease her, Prince."

Hu Yanchen raised his eyelids and handed him a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty is so lucky."

After saying that, he looked away and brought up the business.

"If your country wants to negotiate peace, you should understand that this is a mutually beneficial matter, so the next conditions, Your Majesty, please consider carefully."

Nangong Jin did not take the tea, and Huyan Chen was not in a hurry and pushed it in front of him.

Nangong Jin pursed his lips and said, "The so-called peace talks should be between two countries with equal strength. Only then will we be qualified to propose conditions."

Although both of them were smiling, Li Tangyi could sense a hint of tension in their voice.

The Hu people are indeed at a disadvantage now. Having suffered a series of defeats in the past, they have few soldiers left and basically have no capital to resist.

But Hu Yanchen didn't care. The determination in his eyes made Li Tangyi feel uneasy.

"Your Highness may not know that our Xianbei have allied with the Northern Jin. If the peace talks fail, this battle will never end."

Nangong Jin tightened his grip on the teacup, and Li Tangyi was not much better.

No wonder, no wonder...

No wonder he dared to negotiate peace so confidently, it turned out that he had already got in touch with Beijin behind the scenes!

North Jinhe

The Xianbei also occupied the border, but their strength was stronger than that of the Xianbei because the Beijin possessed an iron mine and had superior armaments.

If the two join forces, it will not be a good thing for both the family and the country.

Judging from the current situation, peace talks are indeed better than continuing to fight.

Seeing that the two had not spoken for a long time, Hu Yanchen spoke leisurely.

"Since Your Majesty has no objection, I will tell you the details of this peace negotiation."

"Negotiations must be mutually beneficial, so trade is the main focus. Xianbei and the north are rich in gold, salt and iron, and your silk fabrics are even better."

"From now on, Xianbei and Beijin will sell you salt and iron at a fixed amount every year, and we will also accept all your silk fabrics, but..."

Hu Yanchen started talking and continued to talk non-stop.

However, the more Li Tangyi and the other two listened, the uglier their expressions became.

Hu Yanchen deliberately raised the prices of salt and iron, intending to make them buy them at high prices, but lowered the prices of cloth and silk to allow the Xianbei and Beijin to profit.

In addition, they were required to provide assistance to the Xianbei and Northern Jin every year, including but not limited to farming, military equipment, etc.

In the end, they were even forced to cede their land on the pretext of farming.

Li Tangyi was almost angry to death. Isn't this an unequal treaty plus cession of territory and payment of compensation?

Sure enough, it developed in the direction of history.

Finally, Huyanchen looked at the two of them with great satisfaction.

"Or maybe, Your Majesty thinks these conditions are too

It’s harsh, and you can try other methods.”

"For example, give me your princess."

While saying this, he kept staring at Li Tangyi.

He recognized those eyes.

Pure, clear, and clean without a trace of impurities.

So no matter how much Li Tangyi's appearance changed, he would recognize her.

It was only at this moment that Li Tangyi realized that Hu Yanchen had recognized her a long time ago.

It turns out that after all that chattering for so long and saying so much nonsense, you still haven't given up the idea of ​​marrying me?

Since she's been discovered anyway, what else is there for her to pretend?

"Whether you are the third prince or the fourth prince, you shouldn't make such an impolite condition!"

"Xianbei is just a tiny country. Even if it joins forces with Beijin, it is still nothing. Who gave you the courage? Aren't you afraid that your ambition will burst your belly?"

"The Xianbei forces are gone, but you don't want to rebuild your homeland, but come here to pretend. I wonder if you have fought too many battles and made people stupid."

Li Tangyi stood up directly, pointed at his nose and cursed!

He spoke very passionately, and at the end, he picked up Nangong Jin's tea and drank it all.

Damn, I wanted to do this before, it feels so good!

Hu Yanchen's expression became increasingly ugly.

Nangong Jin, however, kept a slight smile on his face and filled her cup of tea in a good mood.

This woman really has a lot of tricks when she scolds people, leaving people no way to get a word in, and no way to fight back.

This bottom of the sky

There is probably no other woman who can make Hu Yanchen look so deflated.

However, Huyan Chen's face was only gloomy for a short while before he returned to his previous nonchalant look.

He had been lurking in Kyoto for a long time and had long been aware of the open and secret struggles among the princes in the imperial city.

It has long been known that the peace agreement was sent by the eldest prince, and the date was deliberately moved forward, which might be due to someone's interference.

Right now, the two of them wanted to deliberately provoke him and call off the peace talks.

How could he do what they wanted?

"It seems that the princess has no right to speak. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who sent the document of peace negotiation. I wonder why he didn't show up today?"

Hu Yanchen looked at Li Tangyi with a half-smile, "Or is there some other variable involved?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tangyi looked at Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin quickly returned to normal.

"My brother has just arrived at the border. He is not used to the climate and is seriously ill. Therefore, I will take care of the peace talks on his behalf."

"Really?" Hu Yanchen held the letter, raised his eyes and smiled.

"But your attitude, Your Majesty, is very different from what is written in the peace document."

Li Tangyi was about to confront someone, but she didn't have the chance to open her mouth.

At this moment, there was a bang on the door.

"What are you doing?"

The eldest prince Nangong Yue appeared at the door with an angry face.

Hu Yanchen chuckled, straightened his body, and prepared to stand up to greet him and... watch the show.
