As the days passed, Xingsha Kingdom gathered people from all walks of life to attack Ling'an. Fang Zhuan also knew about this and asked the spies to continue to monitor every move in the capital.

On the other side, the troops sent by Jin Qiguo for peace talks also appeared in the sight of the scouting soldiers.

"There are more than 5,000 people in this group. Are there many carriages?" Fang Zhuo asked Tan Ma who came to report.

"Go back to the general manager, there are only three carriages, two are loaded with water, and one is filled with people."

"Mo Dan, you want to come to peace talks without gold, and you don't have any sincerity at all. Commander Yan ordered the army to prepare for war, and wiped out all the enemies! If you don't see a lot of gold, they are all enemies!" Fang Zhuan said angrily, he

Previously, the guys from Jin Qiguo thought too simply. They thought they would be impatient after seizing such a large area. But now, looking at it, the area they captured is still a bit small. "Send Pengchi and Teng Yonghu, the army

Continue south for a thousand miles, and all mining areas within a thousand miles will be included in Ling'an!"

Fang Zhuan looked at the map. If he went all the way south for thousands of miles, Jinqi Kingdom would have to lose less than half of its iron mines. Many of the 20,000 prisoners captured before were familiar with the terrain of Jinqi Kingdom. Now Fang Zhuo had it in his hands.

There is a very detailed map of Jinqi Country, which mines mainly produce what metals, and the approximate amount of collection. It is very clear.

It's just that Jin Qiguo didn't follow the routine, and he was really thorough. The 5,000 imperial guards camped fifty miles away from Fang Zhuan's 50,000-strong army camp. After setting up camp, there was only one carriage and two horses.

Come out of the camp and continue towards Fang Zhuan's 50,000-strong army.

"Hey, it's not easy to come here. He knows that our army is here, and he dares to come alone and let them in!" After receiving Tan Ma's report, Fang Zhuo became interested. He originally planned to go to Xingsha Kingdom to have a look.

The people there were so charming, but they were attracted by Jin Qiguo's arrival in a car and two horses, and decided to stay and see who Jin Qiguo sent here.

Outside the Ling'an Kingdom barracks, Princess Bai Kefeng of Jinqi Kingdom was staring at the groups of soldiers in front of her. She saw the difference in Ling'an Kingdom. It seemed that there were not as many soldiers in the barracks as rumored. Then she looked at the ravine on one side of the barracks.

, they were all soldiers of the Jin Qi Kingdom, and they all became prisoners of war at this time, and they had a preliminary understanding of the combat power of the Ling'an Kingdom.

While observing the surrounding situation, the wooden gate of the Ling'an State Barracks was opened, and two teams of cavalry rushed out. In the blink of an eye, their carriages and others were surrounded. "Please come inside!" The cavalry who ran out showed no politeness.

, didn’t say much, just three words, leaving Princess Bai Kefeng confused. Who is the leader in this barracks, what official position is it, everything is so mysterious.

The carriage drove slowly into the barracks. What Princess Bai Kefeng saw was a neat camp. Not only that, there was no messy place in the entire camp. Although it was a temporary camp, there were small ditches on the ground.

The rules and regulations are very square. What's even more strange is that there is no stench in the place where a group of generals and soldiers are.

When getting off the carriage, Princess Bai Kefeng completely recognized the rigorous methods of the commander of the army. After entering the big tent, she was surprised to find that there were only two people in the big tent. She had thought that there would be more than a dozen or even dozens of rough men.

The young generals are waiting for them.

"The little girl is Bai Kefeng, the princess of Jinqi Kingdom. The people around me are Bai Kefan, the eldest prince of Jinqi Kingdom, and the other is Bai Keshan, the second prince. I don't know what the general calls him?" After entering the big tent, just

Two people sat on one side of a strange long table, and there were exactly three seats left on the other side. Moreover, they had never seen anything that could seat people, so they looked at it suspiciously for a while.

"Haha, princess, the eldest prince, and the second prince, it seems that Jin Qiguo doesn't intend to pay, and is only willing to pay with his head? Haha, just kidding, please sit down, you three, you must be very tired after a long journey, here

There are some fruits that are abundant in Ling'an country. Let the three of you eat some first." Fang Zhuan sat on the long table and leaned back to greet the three people who had just entered.

Bai Kefeng was not polite and followed Fang Zhuan's example and sat down. The eldest prince, who always looked down on outsiders, also sat down. The second prince wanted to see more of the things in the big tent, so Bai Kefeng called him over.

, "Second brother, don't be rude, please sit down first."

After the three of them sat down, they looked at the strange fruits on the table, their eyes fixed on them, their saliva boiling in their Adam's apple, and they were stunned for a long time, but no one made a move.

Fang Zhuan looked at the embarrassment of the three of them and looked at Yan Houqiu. "You three, do you still need someone to take care of you? Just eat whatever you want. These fruits are much more valuable than gold! Moreover, if you want to buy these in Ling'an Country,

We still have to queue up!" After Fang Zhuo finished speaking, he took the lead and started eating the small tomatoes.

The eldest prince Bai Ke looked through Fang Zhuan and directly put the fruit into his mouth. There was no need to peel or peel the fruit, so he also learned to eat it. "Uh...it tastes sweet! It is indeed extraordinary! If this fruit is brought to the capital, then

It’s also something that’s going to be robbed like crazy!”

Bai Kefeng ate and covered it with her hands. No matter how much she covered it, it was still difficult to cover her surprised eyes. "It is indeed extraordinary. What do you call me?"

In fact, what surprised Bai Kefeng the most was the age of Fang Zhuan and Yan Houqiu. One looked like a scholar, definitely less than twenty years old, and the other looked like a young general who had just joined the army, not at all like a commander or general.

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "This general manager is Fang Zhuan, the general manager of Kyoto East Road in Ling'an Kingdom. The person next to me is the commander-in-chief of this place, Yan Houqiu."

"It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. I never expected that two of you would already be in a high position at such an age. I admire you so much."

"Alas~ I admire you even more. You are born with wealth and destiny, and you are the best among people. Alas, both of us have climbed up step by step from ordinary people. How can we dare to compare with the three of us?" What Fang Zhuo said was shocking.

I feel very uncomfortable. Who compares the two of them with three members of the royal family? Fang Zhuan can only say such shameless words.

The second prince remained silent. He had no chance to speak. He rolled his eyes after eating a strawberry. It tasted sweet and fragrant. After a long while, he said something ridiculous, "My third brother."

Can I and my eighth brother eat these every day? If so, as the second prince, I can exchange them with any of them! The capital city even has to save water to drink, but they are better off. Being a prisoner is better than the rest of us.

Free people still enjoy it!”

"Pfft!" Yan Houqiu couldn't hold it back for a moment, and the cup of tea he just drank sprayed onto his lap, "Uh... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I couldn't hold it back for a moment."

"Haha, the two of them don't eat every day, but I can be sure that they never save water, and they must take a bath every day. The three of them also know that the eighth prince has mysophobia, uh... he just loves to be clean. He takes a bath every day.

It takes an hour to wash each time. Fortunately, there is no shortage of water here. He came here... and he came here at the right time. Therefore, he made a statement before that if the negotiation does not go well and there is still no water in the capital, he will not go back. At this time, you

Come here, let’s put the matter of the two princes at the end of this negotiation.”

When Fang Zhuo said this, he carefully looked at the three people in front of him. According to the 'Guide' given by Bai Yi to the royal family of Jinqi Kingdom, none of Bai Qiufan's eight children were united, and each had their own thoughts.

After a while, the princess Bai Kefeng was still pretending to be deep in thought, but she continued to eat fruit. The eldest prince Bai Ke turned his head and looked at the princess Bai Kefeng and the second prince Bai Keshan, "If you two don't speak, then I will."

The eldest prince, I don’t have the gold you want! Although our army of 500,000 has been defeated, you must have suffered a lot of casualties. When I came in just now, I took a cursory look and found that there are only 40,000 to 50,000 troops here at best.

, your military strength is just like this! Where do you have the courage to ask us for gold? What's the water fee?! Since ancient times, everyone has free access to rivers and streams. How can we be restricted by others? Why should we pay you for water?

?Besides, this water has not been allowed to flow by us for thousands of years. Without the consent of our Jinqi country, the water from your Ling'an has flowed onto the ground of our Jinqi country and occupied our land. This cost

, this prince also wants to ask you for something!"

Although the eldest prince was also eating, it did not delay him at all, and he even spoke plausibly. He dismissed Fang Zhuo's request for water fees and asked Fang Zhuo for the land fee.

Fang Zhuan looked at the princess Bai Kefeng who was pretending to be deaf and mute, and the second prince Bai Keshan who continued to eat strawberries, "Haha! Okay! I like you like this! Since I want the water fee, you have to pay the land fee.

, then, I will return the land to you and no longer occupy it, and your land will not be lost at all, then...should you return all the water that has been flowing for thousands of years to me?"

"You! This water flows freely in low places, how can we control it!" The eldest prince was so angry that he almost stood up after being told by Fang Zhuo.

"In this case, let's let the water bill issue go. The Jinghe River will disappear from the ground in the future. Anyway, the top management has already made some improvements, and the water is still of great use."

"Hmph! Since ancient times, water flow has been determined by fate. With such a large flow of water, you are not afraid of drowning the mountains and forests!"

"Don't be afraid! Besides, what is being flooded is also the mountains and forests of Ling'an, and it has nothing to do with Jin Qi." Fang Zhuo and the eldest prince Bai Ke discussed a few sentences and found that the eldest prince did not have much brains as Bai Yi said. Since

If the water can't be sold, then don't sell it. Anyway, it will be used to generate electricity. In the future, when a dock is built on the seaside, the fresh water flowing here may also be used.

Hearing Fang Zhuan's firm words, the princess Bai Kefeng and the second prince Bai Keshan finally stopped eating. They looked at the angry eldest prince beside them and suddenly felt that the eldest prince should not be called in for this negotiation.

"Manager Fang, the eldest prince is concerned about the lack of water for the people in the capital. He is in a hurry. I hope you can understand me. We in Jinqi Country want to maintain this water, but the water fee is indeed something that has been heard nowhere. Please forgive me."

Manager Fang, please give in. If the people have no water to eat, their lives will inevitably be in danger. I believe that Manager Fang will not ignore death, right?" Bai Kefeng's words directly poked at Fang Zhuan's weakness and took the lives of innocent people.

It is really cruel to use life as a bargaining chip to negotiate!

"I am concerned about the common people. I am just a mortal. I am not a god who can save tens of millions of people and benefit those in Ling'an. I am content with this, but I dare not covet the gratitude of the people of your country and your imperial power.

..I am not interested. But..." Fang Zhuo said, paused for a moment, and a smirk appeared on his face, "But if you continue to be so desperate, the area of ​​​​Jinqi Country will be reduced by a few more times.

Share, hey! This mine... is also money. If you don’t give it to me, I will take it myself! I believe you will receive many battle reports in the next few days.”

After Fang Zhuo finished speaking, he picked up a map on the table and waved the reduced distribution map of the Jinqiguo mining area in front of him.

It seems that they are all in the northern part of Jinqi Kingdom, so this northern part will belong to Ling'an Kingdom in the future."

"You!" Princess Bai Kefeng was blocked back by Fang Zhuo, and she gritted her teeth angrily. She only said one word, but she didn't know what to say.
