The shock brought by this incident was quite big, and Ding Kui really wanted to know the truth!
What is the relationship between the Ding family and the Shaodian royal family?
What is the truth in Shaodianrong's mouth?
What did the ancestor of the Shaodian clan hide?
Is there any difference between the original version of the Secret of Transforming Qi into a Dragon and my improved version?
…
There are many questions that Ding Kui wants to know the answers to, and the person opposite can answer them!
"Don't even think about asking Shao Dianluan. She won't be able to tell you. Just as you won't tell her all the secrets, I am the only one who knows and dares to tell her." Shao Dianrong saw the longing in Ding Kui's eyes.
.
This is a great move!
If Ding Kui is just Ding Kui, there is no memory of his previous life and only the inheritance of the Ding family, and there are problems with the ancestral exercises, are the ancestral precepts still important?
Is territory still non-exchangeable?
Regarding the upcoming negotiations, Shao Dianrong felt that she was sure to win.
A proud smile bloomed on Ding Kui's face, and he said, "That's right! I have many secrets that I can't tell Luan'er, but some of them may be exchanged..."
"..."
The two talked for a long time in the secret room, and a shadow fell over Shaodian Luan's heart, making her a little restless.
"Aren't you out yet?" She couldn't remember how many times she asked.
The door to the secret room suddenly opened, and the royal priest shouted, "Your Majesty, come back to the palace!"
The expressionless Shaodianrong walked out, followed by the respectful Ding Kui.
"It's almost noon. Auntie, please stay and have a meal."
"There are still many things in the palace, you don't need to send me away." The queen did not accept her niece's plea to stay.
Looking at the group of people leaving in a hurry, Shao Dianluan asked, "Has the agreement been reached?"
Ding Kui replied with endless regret, "To be precise, we haven't finished talking."
"Auntie doesn't seem very happy."
"To be precise, she was very angry." Ding Kui made a face to Shao Dianluan, "I can understand that feeling. The ultimate move that I had prepared for a long time suddenly came out, only to find that it was in vain. It is very uncomfortable."
"She is my aunt after all." Shao Dianluan was not in the mood to laugh.
"Yes, your surname is Shaodian." Ding Kui added a meaningful sentence.
"What do you mean? Should I make my aunt angry just because I entered the Ding family?"
"You care about blood ties, but she may not. Your aunt said a terrible thing. Let's talk about it when we get back."
The two returned to the room and closed the doors and windows.
"She told me that the Ding family's fighting qi skills are incomplete." Ding Kui held Shao Dian Luan's hand.
The hand that was originally warm and soft suddenly became cold and stiff.
Shao Dianluan was stunned. Shao Dianhuan's serious face appeared in his mind. This secret must not be spread to outsiders, not even your father.
The ancestors of the Ding family learned a fragmented version of "The Secret of Transforming Qi into a Dragon", but this was the highest secret of the Shaodian family. Why did my aunt know about it? And why did she tell Ding Kui?
"Don't be nervous." Ding Kui poured fighting energy into his wife, "Shaodianrong has become a family member after marrying Jinan. She is protected by Ji's family, so she doesn't have to worry about Shaodian's murder and silence. She has some secrets that cannot be told.
can say."
"You, you know everything?" Shao Dianluan tried to calm himself.
"Actually, I have known for a long time that there is something wrong with my Dou Qi Kung Fu. Otherwise, how could I advance to become a Master? However, my aunt thought that I had eaten the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures and forcibly raised my level, trying to use the secret of the Kung Fu technique to make a deal with me." Ding Kui helped his wife calm down.
mood.
Shao Dianluan closed her eyes, adjusted her breath, and stabilized her mood before saying, "You said that people who are born with superiority should bear greater responsibilities. My clan is very good to me, and I have to bear some responsibilities. Although I married into Ding
Home, but..."
Something was stuck in her throat. She wanted to say it but couldn't. "I understand!" Ding Kui let go of her hand. "You said it, I'm afraid we will both die. The Ding family does not have the blessing of the God of War. You don't need to explain."
Shaodian Luan threw herself into his arms, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You and I are not ordinary people. We can't hold ourselves to the standards of ordinary people. I can't tell you the conversation between my aunt and I. Can you understand?"
The body in his arms stiffened, but soon relaxed, and Shaodian Luan was heard saying quietly, "I know it's for my own good that you avoid me, but I really don't want to be a burden to you."
"Silly!" Ding Kui brushed away the scattered hair from his wife's face, "You have been a burden to me all my life. I don't want to let go, and you don't want to run away on your own!"
"Ugh!" She couldn't help crying anymore.
Jinan came to the Queen's Palace and found that everyone was far away from the Queen's bedroom. He walked into the bedroom alone and looked at Shao Dianrong with doubtful eyes.
"That kid Ding Kui confirmed that there is black crystal iron ore in Diyan Lake."
This sentence explains everything.
Jinan accidentally knocked over the lid of his tea cup when he sat down, "We must send troops to Cao State as soon as possible!" He couldn't suppress his inner excitement.
"But he refused to rent the Chunlu Bay Water Village." Shao Dianrong held the lid of the tea cup.
"Wait, where did his news come from?"
"He refused to say it and would not admit that he had said it. However, he has been very close to He Lianyu and Ji Yu recently. It is very possible that he heard about it from these two people."
Jinan picked up the tea cup with a steady hand, gently opened the lid, took a sip, and said, "Could this be a scam to you?"
"Probably not. He is under great pressure. Telling it can distract us. Making up lies will do him no good." Shao Dianrong tried his best to force Ding Kui to get this news.
"It's not okay to rent. You scared him last time in Nanqiu County!" Jinan was dissatisfied. "It's very dangerous to send troops to Cao State without a springboard. You must solve this matter. Ding Kui is a profit-seeking person, so give him more benefits.
You won’t refuse to agree, you can’t just put pressure on me.”
He has always disagreed with using a tough attitude towards Ding Kui.
Our country can go to Cao State to rent a port, but we are afraid that Cao State and Meng State will fall out together. In the end, Ding Kui is more trustworthy.
Mainly because Ding Kui now controls hundreds of thousands of regular troops, and the attitude of Shao Dianshi and Shao Dianyong is ambiguous. It would be too risky to attack Ding Kui with all his strength. It is far better to spend a small amount of money to bribe Ding Kui.
"My concubine is unwilling to give up." Shao Dianrong spent so much time planning and finally took the initiative in front of Ding Kui, but now he wants to overturn it.
"For every day of delay, the black crystal iron ore will be reduced by one point. Compared with the benefits promised to Ding Kui, which one is more important and which one is less?" King Ji rarely had the opportunity to educate his queen.
Shao Dianrong understood Jinan's thoughts and had to change her original plan.
The next day, Shaodianluan and his wife received an invitation from Pingnan Gongfu. "Hahaha!" Ding Kui laughed three times.
"Are you so happy? His Majesty the Duke just invited us to enjoy the flowers." Shao Diangluan felt that her husband was too proud.
"No, it's not that simple. This is the follow-up to yesterday's negotiation. Our country is finally willing to put down its dignity, and the real negotiation is about to begin." Ding Kui did not hide it in front of his own people.
"My country sent the Zhao family to talk to you? Aren't they a gun in my aunt's hand?" Shao Dianluan was very puzzled.
Liang Chong smiled and said, "That's why the prince-in-law said that our country should lower its status. Firstly, if the Zhao family wants to talk, they must first admit their mistakes, so that the prince-son-in-law can be in a good mood to continue the conversation;
Secondly, the Zhao family can soften our position under the guise of compensation, and those conditions that are detrimental to face can be fulfilled through the Zhao family;
Thirdly, even if the Zhao family fails to negotiate with us, our country can use the excuse that the Zhao family has selfish motives and then find someone else to talk to the consort."
"It's so complicated." Lu Ying was confused.
Ding Fen looked at Liang Chong with a wary look in his eyes. This man had too many eyes, so he should be more careful when dealing with him in the future.
"The main purpose of our country is to send troops to Cao State, and we want to borrow a supply base on our territory. Of course, it is a loan that we don't want to repay." Ding Kui revealed some of the content of the negotiation.
"I can borrow it, but I can't do it if I don't!" Shao Dianluan's attitude was very clear.
Ding Kui thought to himself that it is a pity that you don't know Liu Bei. My country wants Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou, and he will never repay it.
"They won't directly say they won't pay it back. They will probably try their best to extend the loan period and swallow it when the time comes." Liang Chong can see through his country's strategy.
"That won't work! There is only one deep-water port under our control." Shao Dianluan knew the significance of Chunlu Bay Water Village to the territory.
"You can't borrow it at all. You can borrow part of it, as long as it doesn't affect our control of the water village. Brother Liang, I'll leave the negotiation to you." Ding Kui had already made a plan.
If Shao Dianrong comes forward, he will negotiate, and if the subordinate ministers come forward, Liangchong will negotiate. He is responsible for controlling the pace of the negotiation.
The trip to Pingnan Gong's Mansion was not the final negotiation. At most, an intention was reached. In the end, he and his king or queen had to finalize the outcome of the negotiation.
What he said was to give Liangchong an idea of how far he wanted to talk to the other party and what kind of intentions he wanted to achieve.
On this day, only Ding Kui and his wife were invited to Tianping Nangong's Mansion, and Zhao Chan came forward to receive them throughout the whole process, except for a few test sentences in the living room. Then his staff started negotiations with Liang Chong.
Zhao Huang and Ding Kui only talked about the various exotic flowers and herbs grown in the house, and did not mention the negotiation at all. If you didn't know, you would think that he intended to resolve the grievances between Zhao Gang and Ding Kui.
When Liang Chong reappeared behind Ding Kui, Shao Dian Luan said goodbye to Zhao Huang, but Zhao Huang did not stay.
"How is it?" Shaodian Luan asked before Ding Kui could.
"Jiguo agrees to rent the berths and warehouses of Chunlu Bay Water Village at the price of a commercial wharf." Liangchong has reached a preliminary agreement with Zhao Dan's staff.
"Ah? How many berths and warehouses do they want to rent?"
Liang Chong looked at Ding Kui and smiled without saying a word.
"I have to calculate this. Too much will endanger the safety of the water village, and too little will not meet the requirements of our country." Ding Kui helped Liang Chong to rescue him.
To Ding Kui, Jiguo was a behemoth. If he was not careful, he would be swallowed up in one go. There was no room for carelessness.
Tuk-tuk-tuk, someone knocked on the backyard door.
"Who is it?"
"Luo Yong, a humble official, the prince of the Tongbei Empire sent an envoy to specially invite the prince-in-law to come to the Tongbei Empire Posthouse to have a talk."
"Yeah, I know, I'll be there in a minute." Ding Kui sent Luo Yong away.
"It seems that there are experts around Ji Yu. We just came back from Pingnan Gong's Mansion and sent someone to look for me. They must have noticed something. It's really a headache."
He looked at the people around him and found that no one could go to see Ji Yu on his behalf.
Of course, the Tongbei Empire did not want its own country to send troops to Cao State, so Ding Kui finally negotiated cooperation with Ji Yu.
