Chapter 586 Urgent News (Part 2)
Chen Songshi's words touched his soft spot.
——Although he was arrogant, he knew why he came here.
Just as Chen Songshi said, no matter what the process is, he must eventually return the peace agreement to Wazhen to report, otherwise everything will come to nothing.
Thinking of this, Ugle finally lowered his temper, coughed, and agreed: "That's right. This is the wish of both you and me. If it can be achieved well, it will naturally be good."
He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, since you are unwilling to give us more cloth and food, how about the terms of the trade be based on our proposal?"
Many people cursed inwardly after hearing this.
These Wa masters are really shameless to the extreme!
Not only did he eat and take the things, he even had longer-term plans for them!
Everyone knows that Wazhen suffered a snowstorm this year, and people and horses were short of food and clothing, and they couldn't even fight a war.
Once they are allowed to take these supplies back and catch up with the situation, they will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune when the two sides officially open trade in the spring of next year!
They have taken all the advantage!
Sure enough, Chen Songshi directly chose to refuse.
"We will not add any more grain and cloth, nor will we reduce tariffs any further."
Ugle didn't expect that this man, who looked so smiling and easy to talk to, had such a tough attitude. He couldn't help but get angry: "You!"
"Master Tang." Chen Songshi ignored him and tilted his head slightly. "Have you finished writing the peace agreement?"
Tang Zhongli took out two scrolls from behind him: "Of course. One in Chinese and one in Wazhen. They have all been transcribed according to what we discussed yesterday. We just need the eldest prince to sign and seal them."
Ugler's face turned red with anger and he stood up suddenly!
Yesterday?
The conditions yesterday did not meet his requirements, so how come these people have made the decision now! ? Just write it down and let him sign it!
Fortunately, before he entered the palace today, he was still thinking that he could fight for something more, but he didn't expect these people -
"You're going too far! I—"
Before he could finish, soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty! Urgent news from the Northern Frontier!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked and looked at that man together, with countless speculations in their minds.
Urgent news from Northern Xinjiang! ? It just happened to be this time! ?
They can't be fighting again, right? !
Ugle was also stunned.
He knew the real situation in the northern border better than anyone else. It was impossible for them to start a rebellion, so where did this urgent news come from?
The soldier stepped forward quickly, knelt on one knee, and presented the letter with both hands:
"Your Majesty! Marquis Dingbei has sent an urgent letter over 800 miles. Please read it yourself!"
Emperor Mu Wu frowned slightly and said, "Present it."
Eunuch Li responded and trotted over.
The envelope was sealed with red wax, and on it was a note addressed to Your Majesty in person, in Shen Youyan's handwriting.
Emperor Mu Wu opened it and found only a piece of letter with a few words on it.
However, when he saw the above content, his expression suddenly changed.
Everyone noticed.
But they didn't know what was written on it that could cause Emperor Mu Wu, who usually kept his emotions calm, to have such obvious emotional fluctuations.
Emperor Mu Wu stared at the letter without saying a word.
The entire hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the atmosphere was freezing.
Some people couldn't help but look at Shen Yanchuan.
Is he also aware of Shen Youyan’s urgent report?
However, Shen Yanchuan looked calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Everyone could only suppress the turmoil in their hearts, look away, and continue waiting.
Finally, Emperor Mu Wu put down the letter and looked at a person.
——Ugle.
Ugle was very puzzled.
He was about to get angry, but was interrupted before he could protest. It was already very awkward for him to stand there. At this time, following the gaze of Emperor Mu Wu, everyone looked over.
Countless eyes were fixed on him, making him feel uneasy.
He felt vaguely uneasy, as if something had happened that he didn't know about.
But in this situation, he couldn't ask.
Fortunately, Emperor Muwu finally spoke up and gave everyone an answer;
"Urgent report from Northern Frontier, Shen Youyan personally confirmed that your father Wang Mumu Zhen'er passed away eight days ago."
As soon as the words fell, the huge hall fell into deathly silence!
Mumu Zhener is dead!
He is dead! ?
That--
In an instant, everyone turned their eyes to Ugle, who had been stunned.
No one had ever thought that the news that came would be such!
"impossible!"
Ugle reacted and immediately denied it.
"When I came, my father was clearly fine!"
It hasn't been so long and my father has died! ?
Emperor Muwu leaned back on the dragon throne and said, "Show the letter to the eldest prince."
Eunuch Li responded in a low voice and handed the letter to Ugle with both hands.
"My prince, please look."
Looking at the thin letter in front of him, Ugler suddenly felt timid, his hands froze in mid-air, and he was in a dilemma.
He didn't dare to look.
If it is true, then——
Just as he was hesitating, a lazy and light voice sounded.
"The eldest prince should recognize my father's handwriting."
Wugel's heart was pounding, and he quickly looked up at Shen Yanchuan, his throat dry.
After these words came out, he no longer had any reason not to watch it!
He knew Chinese and could indeed decipher Shen Youyan's handwriting!
The Wazhen envoys behind him could no longer hold back and started to look over, feeling anxious and worried.
"The eldest prince?"
Ugler took a deep breath, took the letter and started reading.
On the paper, that line of words was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into his chest!
——According to the spy report, Mumu Zhen'er died of illness in Barna on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month.
Uggler stared at the inky handwriting, wishing he could burn two holes in it.
However, his hands began to tremble unconsciously, and his chest felt as if a thousand-pound rock was pressing down on it.
His mind went blank and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
Seeing his reaction, what else could people not guess?
Mumu Zhen'er is indeed dead!
Many people began to exchange glances secretly, and their minds became active.
The negotiations between the two sides had been at a stalemate before, and it was inevitable that they were somewhat wary of Mumu Zhen'er.
But who knew that he would die suddenly like this!
It’s hard to say how much fighting power Wazhen still has after losing Mumu Zhener!
Tang Zhongli glanced at the two peace agreements in his hand and thought to himself what a pity.
If I had known this earlier, I could have suppressed it a little more.
Chen Songshi's mind raced, he sighed, and consoled:
"Hearing such tragic news, the eldest prince must be extremely sad. I thought that this time the eldest prince could bring back a peace agreement to comfort the people of Northern Xinjiang and Wazhen. Unexpectedly... I hope the eldest prince will not be too sad, so as not to hurt himself."
Ugler no longer had time to think about what he said, his mind was in a mess.
The people behind him were also thrown into disarray and could not help but start arguing in low voices.
"The king has passed away. We must return as soon as possible!"
"But the matter here is not over yet, how can we leave?"
"Yeah! We can't come here for nothing. Even if we go back, how are we going to explain it?"
"This...Prince, what do you think we should do?"
