Chapter 15 A Little Price

 The queen looked at Li Yunping, with a hint of coldness in her bright eyes.

However, the Queen hesitated but did not say anything. Instead, she looked at Li Yunlong and the others. She knew in her heart that sometimes some things could be solved perfectly without taking any action on her own.

Li Bohong thought for a moment: "Fourth brother, please be patient and let Commander Wan describe the conditions of Emperor Jin first. Maybe things are not what we imagined."

"Now that we both have sat down, we must give them a chance to finish talking!"

Li Yunping looked at his second brother and hesitated for a while, then drank tea and stopped interfering in what was going on.

Seeing this, Li Baihong nodded with satisfaction and looked inside the bead curtain again.

"Commander Wan, Commander Wan has also heard what my fourth brother said. I wonder how your emperor can help us, and what price do we have to pay?"

"But I have one thing that I need to talk to Commander Wan first. It doesn't matter if I want money. If I want to cede territory, there is no need to continue talking."

"The premise of our transaction is to ensure that our dragon does not lose an inch of territory."

The Queen stretched her waist lazily: "My emperor's meaning is very clear. I don't want the dragon for one tael of silver, and I don't want the dragon for an inch of land. My emperor wants the armor drawings and the artillery drawings, and the most important point is that my emperor wants to follow

In the past, when Duke Ding of your country, Liu Mingzhi, was on an envoy to Dajin, he had a personal holiday with my emperor."

"However, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. My emperor wants to take revenge but has no chance. My emperor hopes that when one of the princes inherits the throne in the future, Liu Mingzhi will be demoted to a commoner to eliminate the hatred in the heart of my emperor."

"Princes, don't rush to bargain, listen to what I have to say!"

"The peace covenant signed by the Jin Kingdom, Dalong, Turks, and Shanhaiguan of the Three Kingdoms will become a white paper if it doesn't last three to four months."

"At that time, your country's nearly one million troops will surely go north to attack our country, Dajin and the Turks."

"This will be an unprecedented war that will last for several years. The Jin Kingdom is no longer what it used to be, and the Turks are no longer the same after they were unified by the Huyan Royal Court."

"Just relying on the 300,000 border troops of the Six Guards in Northern Xinjiang to fight one against two is just a fool's dream. To be honest, if it weren't for the mighty military disaster in the past, our Jin Kingdom would still have empty grassland troops.

If the war takes advantage of the opportunity, I, Dajin, and the Turks will definitely not be hunted down by you like a lost dog."

"If you want to go north again to fight against the Jin Kingdom and the Turks who are no longer what they used to be, your new army of 300,000 cavalrymen from Dalong, and even the troops from your Anxi Protectorate will inevitably come out in full force!"

"The capital is thousands of miles away from northern Xinjiang. When the time comes, the capital will be empty of troops and there will be only 100,000 imperial guards for defense. This is the best time for you to take action!"

"In order to prevent the army from marching out from the north to help the capital, we, the Kingdom of Jin, will definitely delay the tendency of the army from the north to defend the capital!"

"Whether you are fighting for the throne or not, it is an irresistible fact that your country's army will march north."

"In that case, why don't you princes take advantage of the situation?"

"And all you paid was some drawings and an agreement to demote a prince to a commoner."

"I think that with Liu Mingzhi's current behavior of supporting the new king, even if there is no such agreement, Liu Mingzhi will not end well after one of your princes ascends the throne."

"You are just relegating him to help my emperor eliminate the hatred in his heart!"

"My emperor does not need you to disclose the movements of the Northern Expedition. If you are a traitor to the enemy and treason, who will win or lose will all depend on God's will!"

"A defeated dragon is still a dragon, and a victorious dragon is still a dragon! No one who sits on the throne can change the fact that Bei Chu is out. This is the general trend."

"Does it make any big difference if you pay the price or not?"

"Both can get what each other wants."

"No matter how you look at it, it's the best of both worlds."

"When the time comes, which prince will ascend the throne as emperor, that will be your own business, and my emperor will not be able to interfere in this!"

"My commander has said this. You only have one chance. Whether you agree or not depends on your princes' wishes!"

"If you princes are undecided at the moment, we will gather here again in three days. I will wait for good news!"

Li Yunping's eyes became even more cautious when he heard the Queen's conditions.

There was always a voice in his heart telling him that the plan of the person behind the bead curtain was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Otherwise, this throne is no different from giving it to a few of my brothers for nothing.

This is completely inconsistent with the attitude that people from an enemy country should have.

If you don't seek small profits, you must have a big plan.

It happened that the Kingdom of Jin was plotting a small profit, but Li Yunping felt that the Kingdom of Jin had a bigger plot waiting for his brothers and Dalong.

But what the Queen said was reasonable and well-founded, and she couldn't find any fault with it at all.

For a moment, Li Yunping fell into an ideological struggle between a dilemma and a dilemma.

However, the idea that the Kingdom of Jin, like tigers and wolves, should not be plotted against was the last bottom line in Li Yunping's heart.

Tianzi Pavilion fell into silence for a moment.

The Li Yunping brothers had different expressions, obviously thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

The Queen drank the tea gently and was not in a hurry. She had time to wait anyway. The brothers in front of her were the ones who couldn't wait to ascend the throne as emperor.

Except Li Yunping.

The Queen had a vague feeling in her heart that Li Yunping was dragged onto the pirate ship by his brothers unknowingly. When he wanted to regret it, he realized that it was too late.

This person will become the biggest trouble in his trip.

After a long time, Li Yunlong suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency has been separated by a bead curtain. How can I and my brothers be sure that you have enough power to make the decision for the Emperor of Jin to facilitate this matter?"

"Once Your Excellency regrets it, won't my brothers become pawns in the hands of Your Excellency and Emperor Jin?"

The Queen smiled lightly, took out a seal from the fish bag at her waist and handed it to Hui'er.

Hui'er took the seal, took out a piece of gauze from her sleeves to cover her face, and walked out from the corner of the bead curtain, placing the seal in front of Li Baihong and the brothers.

"His Majesty the Emperor's Jade Seal is here. Regarding the matter to be discussed with all the princes, the Emperor has given full authority to Commander Wan to handle it."

"This should be able to show the sincerity of our Emperor!"

Li Baihong and others stared at the jade seal on the table for a moment, hesitated for a moment: "See you in three days!"

Hui'er nodded slightly and carefully put away the jade seal: "See you in three days!"

The door of the room rang, and Li Yunlong walked up to the bead curtain and opened it. The cabinet behind the bead curtain was empty, except for the tea on the table.

Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Emperor Jin has evil intentions. He can help him, but he cannot be his friend!"

Li Yunping's face lit up: "Third brother, it seems that you also understand that Emperor Jin is using us. In this case, what is there to say? The worst is to break up!"

"As long as we rein in the situation, even if Emperor Jin spreads this matter, my eldest brother will not take it seriously. He will think that Emperor Jin is deliberately messing with our internal affairs in Dalong."

Li Yunlong raised the corner of his mouth, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"It's impossible to stop. It's just that we don't know who will use whom. Emperor Jin and his sister... I know Emperor Jin's weaknesses very well."

"Not only did I want to bring down my eldest brother, but Emperor Jin's plan came to nothing!"

Li Yunping sighed silently, the three of them were determined to seize the throne.

Li Baihong rubbed his hands and tightened his cloak. The weather in February was still a bit cold.

"Since the third brother has a plan in mind, let's meet again in three days!"

"Okay, second brother, walk slowly!"

After a while, the brothers secretly left Tianzi Pavilion one after another and disappeared into the busy traffic on the street.

Li Yunping didn't know that there were five more people behind him monitoring him.

"My lord, why don't we go back to the restaurant?"

The Queen cautiously scanned the surrounding crowd and shook her head slightly.

"Leave the city and go to Pingzhou, and leave the rest to Black Crow."

"But let's come to Dalong to change our appearance. We have spent so much money to fix the relationship. Can the Lord be willing to do it without getting the right letter?"

"I'm not willing to give in, but as you've seen, Hui'er, this time is different from the past. In the past, you didn't have to worry about your identity being revealed when you came to someone without a conscience."

"Li Yunping is too unstable today. I'm afraid something out of my control will happen."

"We must leave the capital to ensure safety!"
