However, seeing that Bei Chenyan and Ling Xiyue had both decided to meet with Tantai Yunlang, and the soldiers tried to stop them to no avail, they had no choice but to believe in their empress's decision. Ma Long took the order to arrange the peace talks for tomorrow.
I just hope nothing goes wrong...
The next day, the sky turned white little by little, at dawn.
Two miles outside Mingbei Pass, a huge golden tent was stationed in the center of the two armies, which could accommodate hundreds of people. The rising sun shone on it, and from a distance, it looked like a sun shining with dazzling light.
The guards from Tianlin and Xilan each had more than a hundred people, and they arrived early.
They were divided into two columns and stood guard on both sides of the golden tent, waiting for their king and prince. They all looked solemn and stood upright like spears in their hands.
At noon, the ancient sundial turns to the center.
Empress Tian Linyan's moon, the generals from all directions, His Royal Highness Prince Xilan, and the generals guarding the city from all directions met in the golden tent.
As agreed, Beichenyan only brought his personal guards with him to show his sincerity in the peace talks, while Tantai Yunlang didn't even bring his own guards.
Although for masters like Beichenyan and Tantai Yunlang, it makes no difference whether they have guards or not, but this is an attitude. From this, it can be seen that Tantai Yunlang really wants to reconcile with Tianlin.
Ling Xiyue looked at the man in white clothes and light armor sitting behind the mahogany desk opposite. The bright smile on his face was just like the first time she saw him on the hunting ground.
Tantai Yunlang also looked at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Xiyue, long time no see."
Ling Xiyue didn't respond.
At this time, she was sitting next to Bei Chenyan. She was the queen of Tianlin, representing Tianlin and thousands of soldiers. The person opposite was Tantai Yunlang, not Xiao Yunlang.
This way of greeting is really inappropriate.
But the way the two of them looked at each other in silence was like a needle pricking Beichenyan's eyes.
Bei Chenyan frowned and immediately gave him a cold look, "Your Highness, the reason we are meeting here today is not to reminisce about old times."
Ma Long, who was standing next to Bei Chenyan with a sword, also glared at Tantai Yunlang, saying that this guy has been harboring evil thoughts towards their empress, don't think he doesn't know, he has to keep a close eye on him.
Thinking about it, Ma Long's tiger eyes widened even more, like two copper bells.
Tantai Yunlang smiled, and turned his bright and handsome eyebrows to Bei Chenyan, still moving up and down, and glanced at him exaggeratedly, "I really don't understand the style, and I don't know what Xiyue likes about you."
Beichenyan has a dark face.
"Tantai Yunlang." Ling Xiyue's eyebrows darkened.
Tantai Yunlang pulled the corner of his mouth and got back to the topic. After letting out a long "Hey", he returned to the topic with a loud voice that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. "You must have guessed what His Highness mentioned in his letter."
Tantai Yunlang mentioned in the letter that he hoped that Tianlin and Xilan would sign a hundred-year truce agreement and sever their alliance with Longxiang.
well.
To show his sincerity, Tantai Yunlang gave Tianlin a treasure as a gift.
This kind of thing can be learned from history. Thousands of years ago, the armies of the Shang Dynasty and the Chiri Ancient Kingdom were at war. The war lasted for ten years. The people at the border were miserable. The states in the two dynasties were also in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits.
Later, the Chiri Ancient Kingdom, whose war power was weakened, took the initiative to request peace talks between the two countries, and presented an unparalleled jade that symbolized royal power as a heavy gift to the Shang Dynasty, and successfully brokered a truce agreement between the two countries.
Therefore, the border relations between the two countries have been peaceful for decades, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which has become a good story in ancient and modern times.
Now that piece of jade has disappeared in the long river of history, but the allusion of this jade wall diplomacy has been passed down.
What Tantai Yunlang did should be following the example of his ancestors and taking the initiative to end the war. Presumably, the so-called treasure in his hand, or to put it more bluntly, the bargaining chip, would be much more valuable than that unparalleled piece of jade.
Because Tantai Yunlang knew these two people very well, Ling Xiyue and Bei Chenyan were not people who liked symbolic things...
Let alone symbolic objects, even if you place a true god in front of them, they will not move their eyes.
"I would like to hear the details." Bei Chenyan's voice was as cold as his expression, neither shallow nor indifferent.
They are all smart people. There is no need to go through so many twists and turns. Tantai Yunlang did not show off too much. He smiled, reached out and opened the mahogany box on the note, "This is my sincerity."
Ling Xiyue and Bei Chenyan glanced at each other quickly, exchanging glances that were indeed like this.
In the wooden box at the bottom of the brocade, there lay quietly a palm-sized round stone talisman with a brown base, a unicorn head jumping on it, forming a circle around the edge, and some mysterious words on it.
Kirin Jade Talisman!
The light and shadow in Ling Xiyue's eyes flickered, and everything became clear in an instant.
She should have expected it. Last time they went to the Sky Burial Ground, they failed to find the Qilin Jade Talisman. Based on what Xiling Mo Qian did in the Star-Zhaing Tower, the Qilin Jade Talisman must not be in his hands.
And among the remaining people that day, it was most likely that they were captured by Tantai Yunlang.
Therefore, Chaoshan City, Ghost Market and Hell... were all driven by him behind the scenes, disrupting the actions of Tianlin Longxiang and the three ancient clans.
He has never really given up on Xi Lan. This person has always stood behind Xi Lan.
Ling Xiyue and Bei Chenyan looked solemn, but Ma Long and other generals looked confused.
"Your Highness, are you looking for fun at our expense?" Ma Long said in a deep voice, "Could this be His Highness's sincerity? We can have as much jade as you want in the Imperial Palace."
Although it looks very old, it is just an ordinary piece of jade. The words on it are somewhat incomprehensible. It is worth studying, but it is too perfunctory, or it is another deception.
It's not that Ma Long is a warrior, but he has learned from the past and has to guard against it.
What's more, not only Tianlin's generals, but also Xilan's own Bafang generals, all fell into disrepair.
What is your Royal Highness doing?
This is not the time to joke, right? Are you really not afraid of irritating the other person?
Tantai Yunlang smiled lazily and looked at Ma Long's questioning eyes, "Whether it's a treasure or a grass, I'll tell you if I ask your emperor and queen."
The generals from all directions in Tianlin immediately looked at their empress.xdw8
Did they really make a mistake?
Bei Chenyan frowned.
Ling Xiyue's eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly smiled, "His Royal Highness wants to exchange half of Xilan's country for a jade talisman. This is a bit too ambitious. You should know that now our Tianlin cavalry wants to
It is not difficult to flatten your Xilan."
Every word uttered from those two red lips was like a sharp sword, killing people without blood.
If possible, Tantai Yunlang would never want to be hostile to this person. However, since he was born into the Xilan royal family, he could not live just for himself after all.
