Empress of Erzhoumu: This plot is wrong!

Chapter 117 I'm Giving You a Chance

into the night.

The capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Xiao Mansion.

Under the corridor, Xiao Wenzan supported Xiao Zongren back to the house to rest.

"Has Chu State made any moves recently?"

"Father, the medical officer wants you to rest at ease and stop worrying about it."

Cough cough cough...

"Chu's army is overwhelming, but we are still fighting for the throne, alas..."

Xiao Wenzan pushed open the door, and was about to help Xiao Zongren into the room, but found a young man sitting in the room.

"who are you!"

Xiao Wenzan questioned immediately, and at the same time planned to call for guards.

However, before he could speak again, a flying sword with a finger length was already pointing at his throat.

Feeling the coolness, he swallowed the words stuck in his throat.

Xiao Zongren was much calmer. He patted his son's hand and motioned to help him into the house.

After taking his seat, he looked up and down at the young man in front of him.

"I didn't expect that Zaifu Da Chu actually dared to enter the Northern Qi Dynasty alone."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenzan was shocked.

"You are Li Yunsheng!"

Li Yunsheng looked at the old man in front of him, the privy envoy of the North Court, Xiao Zongren, the chief of the B clan.

Northern Qi and Great Chu had different official positions, and two sets of bureaucratic institutions were set up under the emperor.

The first is the North Court, which is in charge of the affairs of the imperial court and the headquarters of the four major tribes.

The other is the South Court, which has the same official position as Da Chu, and is in charge of Yanbei, which originally belonged to the Central Plains.

There are North and South Privy Councils in the North Court, and there are Privy Envoys and Privy Council officials as chiefs.

The North Privy Council is in charge of the country's military affairs, and the South Privy Council is in charge of Quanxuan, Dingfu and other politics.

Under the Privy Council, there are also North and South Prime Minister's Offices, and the prime ministers are controlled by the Yelu family and the Xiao family.

This time, Li Yunsheng came to Northern Qi just to find this person in front of him.

"The privy secretary is feeling unwell, so I can't let you go to Dachu to see me."

cough cough...

Xiao Zongren covered it with a handkerchief, and coughed lightly twice.

"I don't know what's the matter with Li Xiang coming here?"

"The result of the medical officer's diagnosis and treatment for the privy envoy is that the cough is severe and has entered the lungs. It has become tuberculosis, and the remaining life is only three or four months."

Relying on Da Chu and Wei Guo's former spies in Northern Qi, it was not difficult for Li Yunsheng to know the news.

This kind of disease can be cured in the modern world, but it is basically terminally ill right now.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Duan Yun standing aside, and the wrinkles on Xiao Zongren's face twitched.

"Li Xiang is in the state of Chu, so he knows the world's affairs."

Li Yunsheng took out a brocade box, put it on the table and pushed it forward.

"I'm here this time to make a deal with the Privy Envoy."

Staring at the brocade box, Xiao Zongren had a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but he didn't take it immediately.

"You and I each hold a country's military and political affairs. If you have anything to say, Li Xiang can speak directly."

In fact, after Li Yunsheng mentioned his illness, he had a hope in his heart.

Perhaps, what is contained in that box is the miracle medicine for curing diseases.

Li Yunsheng opened the brocade box, revealing a pill inside.

Seeing the elixir in the box, Xiao Zongren confirmed his guess even more.

As a result, he didn't reject the unreasonable request of the other party immediately, but asked.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

"This pill can make people younger by one year.

It is equivalent to reversing time and returning your body to the way it was a year ago. "

Li Yunsheng's next words, as if with magical power, penetrated into Xiao Zongren's mind.

"In other words, it can give you an extra year of life."

One more year, one more year, one more year...

A year may not be long for a young man.

However, for Xiao Zongren who was sentenced to death and only had three months left to live, that was the most precious thing.

He stared at the elixir, unable to move his eyes any longer, and even spoke in a hurry.

"what do you want?"

"The land of Yanbei."

Just four words made Xiao Zongren gradually wake up.

"The land of Yanbei is the gateway to the Central Plains. Li Xiang thinks that one year's life will make me surrender?"

Li Yunsheng smiled, then put away the elixir, and got up directly.

However, before he could take a step, Xiao Zongren said immediately.

"How do I know that this elixir is really effective?"

To be honest, if someone said that there was such a pill in the world, Xiao Zongren would definitely not believe it.

But Li Yunsheng, who can cause visions of heaven and earth, is different, which made him believe a little bit.

Li Yunsheng lowered his head, looking down at Xiao Zongren's cloudy eyes.

"You made a mistake. I'm not begging you, but giving you a chance."

Xiao Zongren's eyelids drooped slightly. Indeed, he has no choice now.

Even if there is a glimmer of hope, he will desperately grab it.

Only when death befalls a man will he know how much he longs to live.

"This matter is not something I can decide alone."

Seeing Xiao Zongren let go, Li Yunsheng sat back down again.

"The four great tribes of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yelu Yuan and Yelu Jinlou, have died, and the Hengzhang Department temporarily has no head.

No one in the Nine Accounts Department can hinder your decision. "

"Since Li Xiang knows everything, he should know that Xiao Tali will not agree."

Xiao Tali is currently fighting with him because of the reserve position.

Even if he agreed, Xiao Tali would not agree.

Although he is in charge of the Northern Qi military and government, Xiao Tali also holds military power in his hands.

What's more, it's not that there is no person in charge of the horizontal account department, and they will definitely not agree.

Li Yunsheng put the box on the table again.

"You just need to talk to me with Xiao Tali, and I will naturally have a way to get him to agree.

At that time, Yelushi had no choice but to disagree. "

Hearing this, Xiao Zongren was really moved, and he stretched out his hand towards the brocade box.

Li Yunsheng didn't stop it until Xiao Zongren took the pill in his hand.

"Father!"

On the side, Xiao Wenzan, who was so shocked by the conversation between the two just now, realized it.

"If he poisoned this medicine, wouldn't my father be charged by others?"

Xiao Zongren didn't pay attention to his son's words, since the other party was able to enter the mansion quietly.

Not to mention poisoning, even killing him now would be as easy as pie.

He knew that what Li Yunsheng wanted was not only the land of Yanbei, but also to control him and the Northern Qi court.

But knowing this, he had to eat.

Because in front of being alive, everything is empty.

With a thud, the elixir entered the stomach.

Not only Xiao Wenzan was watching Xiao Zongren closely, but Li Yunsheng and Duan Yun were also observing his changes.

Duan Yun knew that the original pill could make a person 30 years younger.

As a result, Shengsheng was ground into powder by Li Yunsheng.

Then, let him refine thirty pills.

To put it simply, it is to divide a pill into thirty parts.

Based on his many years of experience in alchemy, each pill can reverse one year's age.

However, whether this is really the case, Xiao Zongren is the first experimenter.

If he succeeded, he lost another piece of luck he owed to Li Yunsheng.

If it fails, it will add debt to debt.

Li Yunsheng began to innate skills, and has been observing Xiao Zongren's emotional changes.

People are fickle, and 30 years is too long.

If it was all given to Xiao Zongren directly, it would not be easy for him to control it.

A year is neither long nor short.

Suspending Xiao Zongren's breath like this, he will not be able to disobey him in the future.

In fact, Duan Yun also said that he could add some poison to the pill, but he refused.

Desire is the most poisonous poison in the world, and there is no cure.

Xiao Zongren sat on the stool and didn't move for a while.

Xiao Wenzan on the side couldn't help asking.

"Father, how do you feel?"

At this time Xiao Wenzan was contradictory, he hoped that this elixir could save his father.

But he was also afraid that the Ministry of Division B would be manipulated by Li Yunsheng and become a puppet.

Xiao Zongren took a few deep breaths, then stood up.

He could clearly feel that his body was much better.

Because of the excitement, his breathing was a little short, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.

Seeing his appearance, Li Yunsheng knew that he had made the right bet.

Of course, he wouldn't have dared to do this without Duan Yun, the alchemy master.

"Father?"

Xiao Zongren ordered excitedly.

"Go get the doctor!"

"What?" Xiao Wenzan didn't respond immediately.

Xiao Zongren repeated it again.

"Go get the doctor!"

He could feel that his body had changed, but he needed confirmation from the medical officer before he felt at ease.

"Father, it's getting late now."

It's not that Xiao Wenzan doesn't want to go now, but he's a little worried about Li Yunsheng and Li Yunsheng who haven't left yet.

"Go!"

"Yes, father."

After Xiao Wenzan left, Li Yunsheng said.

"I'll wait for news of your peace talks in Shuozhou City, and you will decide on the location."

At this moment, Xiao Zongren didn't have any peace talks in his mind at all, he just wanted to ask if this kind of elixir was still available.

Li Yunsheng knew what he wanted.

"As long as you cooperate with me well, I will keep you alive.

From now on, you control Northern Qi, I control Great Chu, and the world will be peaceful. "

Before Xiao Zongren could speak, a figure jumped down from the beam.

bang.

Hanyue hit Xiao Zongren on the back of the neck with the handle of the knife, knocking him out.

This sudden change made Li Yunsheng stare at Wei Xiang with wide eyes, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Wei Xiang's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists and questioned.

"why?"

Li Yunsheng glanced at Xiao Zongren who was on the ground.

"what why?"

"Why didn't you save him?"

"Didn't I already save him!"

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Wei Xiang pointed to the sky.

"save him!"

Li Yunsheng was stunned and didn't realize it. After three seconds, he realized who Wei Xiang was referring to——Li Ling.

"I hadn't found this pill at that time."

Hearing this answer, Wei Xiang, who had questioned aggressively just now, lost his temper in an instant.

"Oh."

Li Yunsheng didn't ask Wei Xiang how he came, but turned and left.

"Master, let's go."

Inside the room, Wei Xiang glanced at Xiao Zongren who was knocked out by her on the ground, and bent down to salute.

"sorry."

Then he closed the door and ran out in a hurry.

After hearing the conversation between Li Yunsheng and Duan Yun in Shuozhou, she left early and kept going day and night.

After Duanyun secretly killed the second-rank master of Xiao's residence, she took the lead in entering Xiao Zongren's room after waiting for a long time.

She just wants to know if there is really a pill in this world that can reverse the time of the body.

Seeing Xiao Zongren's happy appearance, she naturally knew that the pill was effective.

But Li Yunsheng's answer made her helpless.

On the way back to Shuozhou, she was alone, crying while driving.

"why?"

"Why didn't you find that elixir sooner?"

"In this way, he doesn't have to die..."

……

Binzhou.

One of the thirteen prefectures in the land of Yanbei, but the Yelu clan is stationed in this city.

Therefore, even if three prefectures had surrendered to Great Chu, the remaining ten cities guarded by the four tribes of Northern Qi would not surrender easily.

Under Xiao Zongren's operation, the location of the peace talks was set in Binzhou.

Li Yunsheng was alone, and Xiao Tali was sitting opposite him, accompanied by three people from the four major tribes.

Of course, there are two first-rank masters standing behind these people.

One of the old men who stood timidly at the back was Tulu who escaped from Duan Zhang and Gao Zhan last time.

Even in the opponent's territory, facing two first-rank masters, Li Yunsheng was still poised.

Xiao Tali spoke first.

"Li Yunsheng, what do you want to talk about?"

Li Yunsheng did not answer his question immediately, but clicked on the mall and bought a hypnosis card for 100000 emotional points.

After crushing the card, he glanced at Xiao Tali.

"First, Northern Qi withdraws from the land of Yanbei and hands it over to me, Great Chu."

"can."

cough cough.

Seeing Xiao Tali nodding his head in agreement, the Prime Minister of the South, Xiao Xiliang, almost couldn't hold back the tea from his mouth.

"Master Privy Envoy, no!"

Someone immediately joined in.

"The land of Yanbei is the only gateway to the south, how can it be easily given up to others."

Li Yunsheng continued.

"I can sign an alliance on behalf of Great Chu. If Northern Qi withdraws from Yanbei, the two countries will stop fighting and will not invade each other.

Moreover, I, Da Chu, are willing to carry out mutual trade with Northern Qi. "

This sentence shocked Xiao Xiliang again - Mutual Market!
Da Chu now has the upper hand, so he wants to stop fighting, exchange market?
He thought that if Da Chu wanted to return to the land of Yanbei, the next step was to find a way to go north.

But it never occurred to him that Li Yunsheng really wanted peace talks.

Li Yunsheng's next words made Xiao Xiliang fall into deep thought.

"Northern Qi invaded the south for years, but the things they robbed were actually not much cheaper than the military expenditures and casualties of soldiers.

The mutual market between the two countries is beneficial to both sides. "

For Li Yunsheng, Northern Qi was chaotic at this time, but it wasn't chaotic enough.

At this time, if he wanted to swallow Northern Qi in one gulp, even if he succeeded, Da Chu would have to pay a heavy price.

At this time, Xiao Xiliang questioned.

"Could it be that our Majesty died in vain!"

Li Yunsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yeluyuan led the army south to attack me in Dachu. I am negotiating peace with you. Are you settling old scores with me?"

"Mutual market is fine, just give up the land of Yanbei—"

At this time, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Give up the land of Yanbei, and the Northern Qi will have no hope of going south!"

Everyone followed the sound, only to see a travel-worn man holding a scepter, who was stopped by the guards.

Mi Qin pushed the guard away and shouted.

"Northern Qi made an alliance with Daliang, so are you going to renege on the alliance?"

He managed to get to the capital of Northern Qi, only to be told that Xiao Tali and Xiao Zongren had gone to Binzhou to negotiate peace with Li Yunsheng.

Therefore, he didn't dare to stop, and immediately chased him to Binzhou.

Finally, before the two countries signed the covenant, they arrived.

Xiao Tali turned his head to look at Mi Tan outside the hall.

"You, Liang State, first broke the covenant with Chu State. What right do you have to stand here and say the word "Breach the Covenant?"

Just when Xiao Tali was about to sign the covenant, Mi Qin continued to shout.

"If the land of Yanbei is given up, the state of Chu will definitely go north and invade Northern Qi in the future."

At this time, a Northern Qi general ran in and whispered in Xiao Tali's ear.

Xiao Tali leaned back on the chair.

"can not hear."

The general raised his voice slightly, but Xiao Tali turned to look at him.

"can not hear!"

"The Empress of Chu State ordered to attack Liang, and Tuoba Yong was defeated. Liang State has sent envoys to seek peace from Chu State!"
