"What did you say?" Ling Yun stood up suddenly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a sharp light suddenly burst out in his eyes, shooting directly at Li Yuanji who was speaking as if with purpose.

Li Yuanji was struck by this sharp gaze and his heart was pounding, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. His breathing became heavy and rapid, and his teeth chattered slightly uncontrollably, making a slight rattling sound. My chest kept rising and falling, and my palms were shaking and sweating...

"General, if you have something to say, don't do anything..." Li Yuanji thought that Ling Yun was dissatisfied because Xixia wanted Lanzhou City, and would attack him if he disagreed, so he quickly backed away until he pulled away. Once the distance was reached, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But Ling Yun's sharp gaze did not disappear just because he stepped back.

"Master Li, I need an explanation!" Ling Yun's cold voice suddenly sounded, and his eyes that were originally just sharp turned into a murderous light at some point.

Li Yuanji just glanced at it and immediately felt the strong murderous intention, which made his hair stand on end.

"General, this is the condition of our court. It is not what I want. If the general thinks it is too much, then we can discuss it again..." Li Yuanji could only give in, even if this was the prerequisite for peace negotiation, it was what Li Yuanhao had ordered. Conditions, but if Ling Yun is angered by this, he may lose his life.

It was just a negotiation, and he didn't want to lose his life over it.

Ling Yun did not speak, but sat back again, lowered his head and frowned, as if he was deep in thought, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a slight thumping sound.

Li Yuanji's heart pounded at the sound of the knocking, and his uneasiness became more and more intense.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. A terrifying thought lingered in his heart, like a cold-blooded poisonous snake slowly crawling through his heart, instantly making him tremble with fear and despair.

"Do you want Lanzhou City in Xixia?" After thinking for a long time, Ling Yun slowly raised his head and glanced at Li Yuanji with a cold, icy gaze, his eyes exuding a ruthless look.

"Yes, general..." Although Li Yuanji was horrified in his heart, his reason finally defeated his fear, and he lowered his head heavily and admitted the fact.

After answering, Ling Yun fell silent again.

Li Yuanji's heart kept beating, and he secretly glanced at Ling Yun, wanting to know how Ling Yun made his decision.

At the same time, he also wanted to know if there was any chance to take back Lanzhou City from Ling Yun.

"I'll take Lanzhou City back to you, what will you Xixia give in exchange for it?" Ling Yun hesitated, his tone tens of thousands of times gentler than before.

Li Yuanji was happy when he heard this, because he heard the implication of Ling Yun's words, that is, Xixia could negotiate to take back Lanzhou City, provided that Xixia could afford something that would make the other party's heart flutter.

"May I ask the general, how can I withdraw from Lanzhou City?" Li Yuanji was cunning and cunning. He did not specify what he would give in exchange for Lanzhou City, but cleverly asked Ling Yun in return, indirectly throwing the question back to him.

"As expected, he is an old guy, cunning and cunning..." Ling Yun glanced at the other party and muttered dissatisfiedly.

The reason why Ling Yun asked this was because he wanted to know what price Xixia was willing to pay to get back Lanzhou City, so that he could take the opportunity to blackmail him. He never thought that Li Yuanji was so shrewd and cunning that he did not answer his question, but the other way around. Throw the question back to him.

"Well, this matter is of great importance. I don't dare to make a decision privately. I need to report it to the court." Ling Yun paused for a moment and replied.

Before knowing where Xixia's bottom line is, Ling Yun will never reveal his conditions easily.

"This...General, Lanzhou City is far away from Daqian Capital. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth." Li Yuanji obviously disagreed with this method. If Ling Yun was really asked to report the matter back to the capital, Da Qian will definitely start talking loudly when he finds out, which will not be conducive to the outcome of his negotiations.

It's better to come up with some conditions that satisfy Ling Yun, even if it's money, beauty bribes... That's fine. In short, as long as he can get Lanzhou City back, it will be a great achievement for him.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji made a decision in his mind.

"General, I, Xixia, are willing to pay 150,000 taels of silver, 5,000 fine war horses, and 20,000 sheep... Everything I said above can be put into the general's pocket as long as the general agrees." Li Yuanji gave. You have to set your own conditions, the most important of which is the last sentence.

The implication is that as long as Ling Yun is willing to nod, he can pocket all these benefits under the conditions Li Yuanji just mentioned.

In short, in one sentence, the benefits belong to Ling Yun alone and have nothing to do with Da Qian.

Li Yuanji did this, obviously hoping to use the mentioned benefits to bribe Ling Yun, so as to achieve the purpose of letting Ling Yun lead his army to withdraw from Lanzhou City.

I have to say, this is really a good strategy!

As long as Ling Yun nods, it is conceivable that the benefits Li Yuanji just mentioned will be delivered to Ling Yun's military camp.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yun didn't take this petty gain seriously at all.

It's just a joke. You want to bribe him with such a small profit?

Insult, shame and humiliation.

"Master Li, are you insulting this general?" Ling Yun suddenly shouted to express his dissatisfaction.

"Does Mr. Li think that this general is the kind of person who can be bribed with money?" Ling Yun pretended to be very angry about this, which made Li Yuanji panic.

"General, please calm down. It's because I didn't think carefully." Li Yuanji quickly admitted his mistake and began to doubt Ling Yun's character.

"Is he really not such a person?" Li Yuanji muttered in his heart.

Then he shook his head again, "No, it shouldn't be!"

"Is it too little?" Li Yuanji suddenly thought of something, so he increased the benefits, "General Ling, 200,000 silver, 10,000 fine war horses, 30,000 sheep..."

"Master Li, what do you think of this general?" Ling Yun increased his tone of voice, but Li Yuanji discovered the clues.

Although Ling Yun was angry, he was obviously not as angry as before, but his voice was raised a little higher.

In this case, it is most likely what he guessed.

"General Ling, 250,000 taels of silver, 15,000 fine war horses, 40,000 sheep..." Li Yuanji once again gave his conditions, and then continued before Ling Yun could speak, "General, This is the most generous offer I can give. If the general still feels it is not suitable, then the general can only make a decision to the court."

After speaking, Li Yuanji sighed softly.

This sighing look seemed like there was really nothing he could do.

In fact, this was just a step forward by Li Yuanji in order to make Ling Yun feel that he had tried his best.

"Three hundred thousand silver, twenty thousand fine war horses, and fifty thousand sheep." Ling Yun didn't let him wait too long, and slowly stated his conditions.

Li Yuanji was overjoyed and opened his mouth, unable to restrain the joy in his heart. However, just when he was about to agree to Ling Yun's request, he never thought that Ling Yun would speak again, "Also, the third prince of Xixia needs to go to my Daqian capital as a proton. Live in the capital for three years."
