After returning to the house, Xu Zizhen first went to Daye's room. Daye had been in a drowsy state since returning from Xingzi Castle and he still hasn't woken up. This made Xu Zizhen a little worried. No matter what he was busy with, Daye would do it once in the morning and once in the evening.
I always come to visit, hoping that one day I can see Ohno and be alive again.
Daye still didn't wake up, still lying quietly, but his complexion was much better, and there was a faint luster on his big red face. What surprised Xu Zizhen was that Zhuo Ya was here today. When he entered the room, Zhuo Ya was observing carefully.
Li Meng and Duoqi Zhuoma waited quietly for Daye's injury.
Xu Zizhen felt a little guilty. The incident of accidentally breaking into someone's bathroom last time was still in front of him. Although he didn't mean it, it was something that greatly damaged someone's innocence. However, thinking about that scene, it was really nostalgic, especially the smoothness.
Skin and elastic feel...
"Ahem!" Xu Zizhen coughed dryly and stopped himself from thinking any more, pretending to ask, "God...Princess Zhuoya, how is my brother? When will he wake up? Are there any internal injuries?"
Zhuo Ya ignored him and looked at her wounds. After a long time, she stood up. Without even looking at Xu Zizhen, she said calmly: "He slept for so long because of the medicine I gave him, which allowed him to recover."
It should be faster and more thorough. If you are not worried, then I will stop taking the medicine."
Xu Zizhen said quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I..."
He had just finished speaking when Zhuo Ya had already left gracefully. Xu Zizhen felt suffocated for a while, and even if he wanted to flatter him, there was no chance to calm him down. Li Meng and Duo Qi Zhuoma both showed helpless expressions and quickly followed out.
.
If you refuse to reconcile, why are you pretending to be a goddess with me?!
Xu Zizhen curled his lips and murmured secretly for a while. Seeing that Daye still showed no signs of waking up, he simply stopped staying. People from Xixia were already here, so it was time to take care of what needed to be taken care of.
Yuan Size was locked up in a courtyard not far away. Although he was said to be locked up, his movements were not restricted at all. There was even no one outside the courtyard when Xu Zizhen arrived. This was exactly what he wanted. He looked around and entered.
He walked into the room and started chatting with Yuan Size in a low voice.
Xu Zizhen came back more than half an hour later. He had made it clear to Yuan Size what needed to be said. I believe that with the intelligence of this old fox, he should be able to understand what to do next.
After returning to his residence, Xu Zizhen washed up early and went to bed, but he did not close his eyes immediately. Instead, he stared at the roof with wide eyes. There would be negotiations tomorrow and a new drama was about to begin. It was time to organize his thoughts.
…
Today is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the official day for the start of negotiations. Xu Zizhen got up early, washed and changed clothes, and shaved. He looked very energetic. He already had a plan in his mind for everything that would follow.
It's a bit risky, but once successful, the results will be great.
What you play for is heartbeat! This is Xu Zizhen’s definition.
The negotiation place is about three miles away from Jincheng Pass. From the critical moment, you can clearly see everything happening here. If there is any emergency, you can rush out of the pass in time to come to the rescue. The engineers have already set up a pavilion here early. The weather is a bit gloomy.
, maybe it will snow on the way.
It was Wen Chengyan and Meng Du who came forward to negotiate on the Song side. The court had not yet sent the documents, and since they were the two largest officials in the Lanzhou area, it was naturally best for them to negotiate.
The two men, civil and military, went ahead. Xu Zizhen rode on horseback, followed by a column of cavalry. Their military appearance was neat and armored, but the general leading the team looked slovenly. It turned out to be Han Shizhong. Xu Zizhen had returned from his trip to Xingzi Fort.
I had never seen him before, so when I saw him suddenly, I didn’t have time to say hello, so I could only wink and say hello.
When a group of people arrived at the agreed place at exactly the hour, the Xixia envoys had already arrived. Two Xia people, an old man and a young man, dressed in colorful clothes, stood outside the pavilion, followed by an entourage. It was Yu Qi, not far away.
A group of Xia soldiers lined up neatly, and their momentum was not weak at all.
This negotiation had been agreed in advance, and each side could only bring a hundred soldiers. However, Jincheng Pass was not far away. In order to avoid excessive behavior during the negotiations, the Xia people still arranged for a large army to be stationed not far away. From Xu Zizhen's perspective
You can clearly see a dark sea of people.
Wen Chengyan came near and got off his horse. He glanced at the old man and the young man in front of him. Yu Qi introduced them both. The young man was naturally Li Renxiao, the second prince of Xixia. The old man was Xiao Ye, the Minister of War, also known as Xiao.
Xuan's father, Wen Chengyan, didn't talk nonsense and smiled slightly: "Your Highness Renxiao, Mr. Xiao, please!"
Li Renxiao smiled back: "Master Wen, please!"
There was a long table in the pavilion, with two seats on each side, a master and a pair of seats. Wen Chengyan sat in the middle, Meng Du sat on one side, and Xu Zizhen stood behind them, as did the other party. Li Renxiao was in charge, and Xiao was also in the pavilion.
Deputy, Yu Qi follows behind.
Xu Zizhen took this opportunity to secretly look at Li Renxiao. The second prince looked young, only a year or two older than Li Luoyan, but he had a heroic spirit in his brows, a calm demeanor, and quite a royal demeanor in his gestures.
, Xu Zizhen was completely confused about the history of Xixia, and he was too lazy to think about whether this prince would be the future emperor of Xixia.
As for Mr. Xiao Yexiao, Xu Zizhen only glanced at him and didn't look at him any more. He was about the same moral character as his incompetent son. His eyes were cloudy, his complexion was sallow, and he had a big rosacea on his face. At first glance, he looked like a normal person.
The Lord, who was overindulging in alcohol and sex, put his hands in his sleeves and lowered his eyes as soon as he sat down, as if the negotiation was nothing to do with him.
The two sides sat down and the negotiation began. To Xu Zizhen's expectation, the second prince did not talk nonsense, but directly asked for peace.
Wen Chengyan was also a little surprised by this. Xixia's national strength was not weak. Moreover, although they were defeated in this battle, they did not suffer too much loss. If they gathered together and attacked again, Jincheng Pass would still be tight, but he did not put it on his face.
, but remained calm and calm, and talked with Li Renxiao unhurriedly.
Xu Zizhen listened more and more surprised. The terms Xixia offered this time were too... how should I put it? It was close to losing power and humiliating the country.
Li Renxiao very politely proposed peace, and the Song and Xia countries have since ceased fighting. For this reason, the Xia Kingdom is willing to pay compensation of one million taels of silver and 500 adult horses. However, the Song Dynasty only has one condition, which is to request the return of the captured Yu.
Si Ze, Xiao Xuan and Eunuch Xie.
Xu Zizhen is considered a rich man now. Although one million taels of silver is a lot, he doesn't care much, but those five hundred horses are very attractive to the Song Dynasty. The Song army suffered from the lack of cavalry. Xixia was so
It is tantamount to enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Song Army. This clause is really strange.
Wen Chengyan and Meng Du looked at each other and didn't reply immediately. Xu Zizhen was also making calculations in his mind.
Old boy Chongzong is so willing to give up. Is there any other major event that makes him unable to concentrate on dealing with the Song Dynasty?
