After the New Year's Eve dinner, Shangguan Xu seemed to have just remembered and said: "The Southern Jin Dynasty sent envoys to invite us, Darong, to Ling'an City for peace talks."

Yan Mu frowned, "When did it happen?"

"Three days ago."

"Why didn't we get the news?"

"General Su personally escorted the people who came to Beijing, but they were in disguise. I didn't get the news until they arrived at the palace gate. The emperor met with the envoy and what was discussed was kept secret until yesterday.

I didn’t know until I said it.”

"Your Majesty agrees?"

"Yes."

Yan Mu stood up suddenly and said, "This old guy is really stupid. Northern Jin and Xiyue have already agreed to form an alliance. At this time, we are negotiating peace with Southern Jin. Where will we place Northern Jin and Xiyue?"

"The Emperor does not want to fight."

"This move of the Southern Jin Dynasty is intended to destroy our Three Kingdoms Alliance. Has his brain been kicked by a donkey? Can't he understand this calculation? If we agree, it will be a breach of trust, and the Northern Jin Dynasty and West Vietnam will definitely not ally with us again.

But the peace talks cannot be concluded at all, and when the Southern Jin Dynasty takes advantage of this to move north, we will really be isolated and helpless!"

"I'm afraid that the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Western Yue Dynasty will join the Southern Jin Dynasty to divide our great glory." Hongxuan sighed.

"This peace negotiation may not be possible," Liu Yunxiang said after a long silence.

Xue Changfeng snorted, "You're not as confused as the old...ahem...emperor, are you?"

Liu Yunxiang raised his head and looked at Yan Mu, and Yan Mu also looked at her at this time. After the two met, they understood each other's thoughts.

"The Crown Princess means..." Hongxuan frowned, "The Emperor agrees to cede the land!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

After a while, Shangguan Xu patted the table and said, "The emperor is content with the peaceful world in his eyes. As long as he doesn't expose it, he can keep this dream for a longer time. He doesn't want to fight and doesn't dare to fight. He would rather stay here

Under the false prosperity, he indulged in arrogance. It was not that he could not see the conspiracy of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but the bottom line of the courtiers was not to give up an inch of ground, but his was not."

"Isn't he afraid of becoming Da Rong's eternal sinner?"

"Heh." Shangguan Xu looked at Yan Mu, "There is no ready-made shield."

Yan Mu poured a glass of wine, raised his head and took a sip, "What if I keep claiming to be sick and not go to court?"

"Will you?"

"I'm not stupid."

"When Da Rong is about to fall apart, you will stand up. The Emperor is so determined."

Yan Mu was so angry that he drank another glass of wine, turned to Liu Yunxiang and said, "Let's go back to Yangui City tomorrow!"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head and laughed, knowing that he was talking angrily, so he looked at Shangguan Xu again, "So the emperor probably wants the prince to go to peace talks?"

Shangguan Xu nodded, "The one the Southern Jin went to negotiate peace with is their king. Logically speaking, the one we have here is either the emperor or the prince."

"Then we have to make preparations in advance. But when did the Emperor come into contact with the Southern Jin Dynasty? Why did he jump with his head covered even though he knew it was a trap? I think Menggui's contribution is not small." Liu Yunxiang said solemnly.

Because of her, the court and the harem were in chaos, loyal men committed suicide, and the monarch and his ministers were alienated, which was really a disaster.

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "She must die!"

Having said this, while everyone was thinking about it, the gatekeeper came over and said that a man named Li Zhu came to pay his respects.

Hearing this name, Shen Yunzhou stood up suddenly.

Yan Mu hurriedly grabbed him and asked the servant to bring him in.

"What are you in a hurry for? Besides, they may not be looking for you."

Shen Yunzhou frowned, "What do you mean? You two are familiar with each other?"

"Well……"

Yan Mu saw Shen Yunzhou's cold eyes and pointed at Shangguan Xu, "They are familiar."

Shen Yunzhou looked at Shangguan Xu again with the same cold eyes. Shangguan Xu touched his nose and said, "It's really my fault that my family doesn't recognize my family."

"What family member?"

At this time, Li Zhu came over. He scanned around first and settled on Shen Yunzhou. Then he looked at Shangguan Xu, stepped forward and saluted, "Father."

Shangguan Xu coughed twice and said, "Yeah."

Shen Yunzhou widened his eyes and pointed at the two opposite him, but he looked at Yan Mu, "Did you hear clearly, he called him his adoptive father?"

Yan Mu hurriedly picked his ears, "I actually didn't hear it very clearly."

Shen Yunzhou knocked Yan Mu's hand away, "What's going on?"

Yan Mu rolled his eyes, "The person involved is right there. What did you do if you caught me and didn't let me go?"

Shen Yunzhou looked at Li Zhu again, and he was also looking at him.

"you……"

"I'm not here to recognize you." Li Zhu's expression was cold, and his eyes were even colder. "Today you went to my house. Because you are Yi'er's biological father, and because the master didn't want to cause too much trouble, I didn't say anything. "Now let me tell you that Master and I are getting married in the first month of the year. You'd better accept this fact and stop causing trouble for us, or I won't spare you!"

"Who the hell are you to warn me?"

With that said, Shen Yunzhou drew his sword and killed Li Zhu.

Yan Mu wanted to stop him, but he didn't.

"Okay, let them kill each other, and then they will all be relieved." Shangguan Xu looked towards the two of them while drinking.

The corner of Yan Mu's mouth twitched, "How can Shen Yunzhou defeat Li Zhu?"

One is a civil servant who is good at using tactics, and the other is a killer leader who never leaves his hand with his sword.

"Then it depends on their respective abilities."

As Yan Mu said, Shen Yunzhou was not Li Zhu's opponent at all, but he suffered a loss after hundreds of moves. He kept retreating and dodging, but was still injured in the arm. It's just that Shen Yunzhou knew that he had no chance of winning, but he still went crazy. He rushed forward and struggled until he was in a terrible state.

Yan Mu took a deep breath and stepped forward to open the door between the two people.

Shen Yunzhou gasped and stared at Li Zhu.

"She's mine!"

"She doesn't belong to anyone." Li Zhu said calmly, "My master is the eldest princess's only daughter, and she is also a miracle doctor with extraordinary medical skills. You treat her as an accessory, but I treat her as an extraordinary woman, even myself. So ashamed."

Hearing this, Shen Yunzhou staggered, "We, we are a family."

"Why do you think she must be you? She loved you, but did you cherish her? And you ask yourself, do you really love her?"

"I love her!"

"Then your love is too ridiculous."

"you!"

Li Zhu put away his sword, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, and it is in someone else's house. It is inappropriate to fight and kill. If you insist on fighting to the death, then make an appointment and I will make it happen. you."

After speaking, Li Zhu turned around and walked out.

Shen Yunzhou was so angry that he wanted to chase him, but Liu Yunxiang stood in front of him.

"If Sister Qu doesn't love you anymore, why are you still fighting?"

Shen Yunzhou's eyes turned red and he looked at Liu Yunxiang, "She will fall in love with me again."

"Why?"

"By..."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "How dare you abandon their mother and son again and again?"

"I just don't want them to follow me and take risks."

"When you think like this, you have already regarded them as a drag, haven't you? But Li Zhu, no matter who he is, he has never left Sister Qu and Yi'er behind. When they needed him most, he Always there.”
