Chapter 623

While Tang Yin, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying were talking in the tent, there was a sudden chaos outside the tent, and loud shouts came in from time to time. Tang Yin frowned and motioned to Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao on both sides, asking them to go out and see what was going on.

The two brothers came back not long after they left, and at the same time they brought two others with them, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi.

The two people's faces were flushed, and their eyes were filled with anger. After entering the tent, when they saw Tang Yin, their anger became even more intense. Shi Tinghan didn't even offer a courtesy, but asked loudly: "Your Highness, King Feng, we are waiting for you." I came to negotiate peace with you, why did you break your promise and attack our Hexi camp?"

Tang Yin looked at the two of them with a sneer, but did not speak immediately. He turned around, walked back to the handsome desk, and slowly sat down. Then, he suddenly slapped the desk, and there was only a crisp sound, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi both heard. Startled. Tang Yin's eyes flashed fiercely and he said in a solemn voice: "I haven't gone to find you two yet, but you two are the evil ones who complained first! Didn't you say that the eldest son Yuanhong is critically ill?"

"Ah?" Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were stunned. Changsun Yuanhong was critically ill. Is there anything wrong with this?

Seeing the confused and stunned expressions on their faces, Tang Yin knew that Liang Qi's guess was correct. The eldest son Yuanhong pretended to be critically ill, and even Shi and Qin were deceived by him. He sneered and said: "Changsun Yuanhong is not critically ill at all. Just now, he was still commanding the battle vigorously on the battlefield! How dare you two deceive me, you will skin you and beat your muscles! Come on! people!"

Following Tang Yin's words, the guards outside swarmed in and shouted in unison: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Tang Yin pointed at Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi and said coldly: "Drag these two thieves out and Ling Chi will execute them!"

"Yes!" The guards don't care what your identity is, whether you are an envoy from another country, they only act according to orders. Tang Yin gave the order, and the guards all stepped forward and held down Shi and Qin without any explanation, and dragged them away. Go outside.

Xiao Muqing and others were shocked. Didn't they just agree to negotiate a peace? Since they are negotiating for peace, these two people must not be killed! Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying all looked at Tang Yin in unison, and saw Tang Yin's face full of anger, his eyes shining coldly, but his lowered hand was secretly moving his fingers.

Xiao Muqing and the other three were so smart. When they saw his hint, they immediately understood Tang Yin's intention. The three people understood, and they all stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Master Shi and Master Qin cannot be killed!" "Yes! Please take back your life, Your Majesty!"

Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were also surprised when they saw the three commanders of the Feng Kingdom begging for mercy to both of them at the same time. However, at the critical moment of life and death, the two of them did not think much about anything else. They shouted: "Your Majesty, please spare your life. I am wronged! Your Majesty." Have mercy on me, are you wronged?"

Tang Yin's face was as dark as water. He waved his hands to the guards and signaled them to wait for a while. Then he looked at Shi and Tan and asked, "Why are you two wronged?"

Shi Tinghan and Qin Yi were both broken into cold sweats at this time. They were panting heavily and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, when we entered the Hexi camp, we saw with our own eyes that General Yuan Hong was critically ill and lying on the collapse floor. The king is already dying. As for the king seeing General Yuan Hong personally commanding the battle tonight, is it... that the king is dazzled? "

"Fart!" Tang Yin stood up angrily, raised his leg and kicked the desk in front of him far away. When Shi Tinghan and Tan also saw this, they were frightened and half of their three souls and seven souls flew out. Their legs were weak and their whole bodies were weak. With two thumps and thumps, they both knelt on the ground.

"I am dazzled? Are all my soldiers dazzled? How can I tolerate you when you deceive me and humiliate me?" As he spoke, Tang Yin waved his hands distractedly and shouted: "Pull out, Kill, kill, kill..."

"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on you..." Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were dumbfounded at this time. They saw Changsun Yuanhong was critically ill. They saw it with their own eyes. Why did they appear on the battlefield again tonight? They couldn't figure it out. .

Seeing the guards dragging the two people out again, Ziying waved and shouted: "Wait a minute!" After saying that, he cupped his hands to Tang Yin and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the future, Master Shi and Master Tan don't seem to be lying, but Changsun Yuanhong also deceived the two adults. The Ning court advocated peace, and Changsun Yuanhong advocated war. He must have wanted to use our country to kill Master Shi and Master Qin to undermine the peace negotiation between the two countries. In addition, if the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed. Moreover, Master Shi and Master Qin are here to negotiate peace between the two countries. Please think twice and never fall into Changsun Yuanhong's trick!"

Ziying's words seemed to be persuading Tang Yin, but in fact they were meant for Shi and Tan. Changsun Yuanhong was very powerful in spirit and martial arts, rare in the world, but he was also very good at strategy and military use. With such a versatile man in both civil and military affairs, not only could our side no longer be able to use troops against Ning State, but he was also a huge threat to our own side. If you can't defeat this person on the battlefield, you have to create conflicts within Ning State and bring down the eldest son Yuanhong. Since the Ningguo court advocates peace, Changsun Yuanhong's approach is undoubtedly contrary to the court's determination. If Shi and Qin can be properly utilized, the conflict between Changsun Yuanhong and the Ningguo court will become acute, which will be very harmful to our own side. favorable.

really. After listening to Ziying's words, Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi's expressions changed, and they looked at Ziying in disbelief.

Tang Yin understood the intention of Ziying's words and thought to himself that it was clever. He pondered for a while, pretending to think about it, and then said reluctantly: "Ziying, what you said makes sense." After saying that, he waved to the guards and said: "Let them go, you two." Go down first!"

The guards obeyed the order, let go of Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi, then turned around and exited the tent. After the guards left, Shi and Tan also collapsed on the ground. While they were secretly glad to have saved their lives, they were also wondering whether Ziying's words were true. Could it be that Changsun Yuanhong really wanted to sabotage the peace negotiation? Do you want to use Feng Guo's hand to kill the two of you?

After a while, the two of them came back to their senses, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Tang Yin repeatedly, and said urgently: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"

"No need to thank me!" Tang Yin snorted, sat down on the collapse, stretched out his fingers to tassel, and said: "If you want to thank you, thank General Ziying! Also, it is not this king who wants to kill you, but your country's eldest grandson Yuanhong. It is Changsun Yuanhong who wants to use your lives to destroy the peace agreement, do you understand?"

Yes, things couldn’t be more clear! Although Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi were scholars, they were not rigid-minded fools. Now that they had seen Changsun Yuanhong's intentions, they felt resentful and their teeth were itching. At that time, I thought that eldest son Yuanhong was going to die, and I was so sad. But in the end, eldest son Yuanhong pushed himself into the fire pit! If it weren't for Ziying's sharp analysis, both of them would have died inexplicably.

The two of them let out a long and shaky breath, looked at each other, then turned around and kowtowed to Ziying again, saying: "Thank you, General Ziying, for the rescue. General Ziying's great kindness will be unforgettable to me!" "

"Huh?" Ziying hurriedly stepped forward, helped the two of them up, and sighed: "Why do you two adults have to be so polite?! Master Shi and Master Qin are kind-hearted and upright people. They were betrayed by the insidious and cunning eldest son Yuanhong. It's understandable that he was being used. However, what Changsun Yuanhong did was really unacceptable to me. He wanted to kill two adults without a burial place for his own personal gain. His intention was too vicious. "

"For your own benefit?" Shi and Tan showed incomprehensible expressions.

Ziying smiled and said: "Everyone doesn't like fighting. No one likes war. Changsun Yuanhong is so determined to fight, even betraying two adults. Is he really trying to serve the country with all his loyalty? I don't think so. In fact, for Changsun Yuanhong, only when there is a war in Ning can he control the military power, and then he can legitimately recruit new soldiers and increase his strength. Hexi is far away from Liangzhou, and Changsun Yuanhong's movements cannot be grasped by the court immediately. If he changes, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Ziying was talking nonsense, but Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi listened very attentively. When Ziying finished speaking, they couldn't help but take a breath, feeling that Ziying's words made sense. Changsun Yuanhong did have ulterior motives. Behaving strangely.

Without giving the two a chance to think carefully, Ziying continued: "After all, what Changsun Yuanhong did is an internal matter of your country. We, the Feng Kingdom, have no right to interfere. Now, let us discuss the matter of peace. !”

Negotiate peace? Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi couldn't keep up with Ziying's thoughts and were completely led by him. "Could it be that His Highness Feng Wang has accepted our country's peace negotiation? Then why are you still tonight..."

Before the two of them finished speaking, Ziying said with a smile: "The king didn't believe that Changsun Yuanhong was critically ill, so he deliberately launched a 'small-scale' attack as a test. As expected, it turned out that Changsun Yuanhong was critically ill." Fake."

"Oh, I see."

"Your Majesty has read the peace treaty carefully. However, when Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi invaded our Feng Kingdom with an army of 400,000, the losses caused were by no means a mere 100,000 gold, more than a million silver, silks, and silks. Silk can make up for it. Your country only compensates you for this. Don’t you think it’s too deceiving?” Ziying said with a smile.

Shi Tinghan and Tan also took a breath, remained silent for a moment, and then raised their eyes to look at Tang Yin. The latter was sitting on the couch without any expression, his eyes were cold, and without speaking, just looking at him was enough to make people feel chilling. Shi Tinghan bravely asked: "Then... I wonder how much compensation His Highness Prince Feng thinks is appropriate?"

As for the amount of compensation, Ziying had no right to decide, but Tang Yin still had no intention of speaking. He changed his mind and said: "You two, please go back first. Your Majesty and I still need to discuss this matter."

"Oh, this... is fine!" Shi Tinghan and Tan Yi hesitated for a while, then bowed deeply to Tang Yin and said, "I will leave for now."

"Yes!" Until this moment, Tang Yin responded indifferently.

As soon as the two of them walked away, a smile appeared on Tang Yin's lifeless face. He first praised: "Ziying, you did a good job." Then he said to Xiao Muqing: "Muqing, write a letter quickly and send it back to Yancheng. Explain the peace negotiation in detail to Qiu Zhen and Yuan Ji, and ask them to draft a peace treaty. Of course, it must be beneficial to our country, but it must be acceptable to Ning Guo. "

"I will finally understand!" Xiao Muqing said with cupped hands.
