Chapter 197
In a blink of an eye, five days passed.

Fu Qing came to the City Lord's Mansion again and brought Ji Gan's opinion. Ji Gan agreed to have an interview in person, and the time was set to be five days later.

The location was chosen by Longshui Lake.

To Lin Chen, the time didn't matter, and the location didn't matter either. If he had to choose, he would choose there.

After negotiating some details, Lin Chen returned to the secret room to spend another five days.

On the morning of the sixth day, Lin Chen came out of the secret room, showered and changed, and changed into a well-fitting black brocade suit.

After instructing his father to arrange the defense of the palace, he left the north gate alone.

To be cautious, he did not go straight to the agreed place. Instead, he made a large circle from the west, arrived at the shore of Longshui Lake, and walked slowly along the lake to the agreed place.

The meeting time is set at noon.It was still early, so Lin Chen took the opportunity to admire the color of the lake.

Suddenly, Lin Chen noticed two black spots moving rapidly on the lake far away.

They are two big ships.

He stopped and watched for a moment, and saw clearly the flag of the Jin Dynasty hanging above.

The other side of the lake is the territory of Da Jin, and it is not surprising that their boats appeared in the lake.

It seems that Ji Qian is careful enough.

According to the direction of the ship's bow, the landing site should be more than ten miles away from him.

Lin Chen was even more in no hurry to keep the appointment, and continued on his way to see if the boat would reach the shore.

Lin Chen and the other party agreed that each would bring at most 2000 people.

Judging by the size of the two ships, the capacity is that number.

Coincidentally, the berth of the two big ships happened to be near Lin Chen Jinwei.

Because the water near the lake was shallow and the ship had a deep draft, when it approached the lake shore, several small boats were lowered from the ship and carried people to the shore.

Lin Chen stopped his mount 300 meters away.

There were only 50 or [-] people who went ashore this time, and a young man surrounded by everyone was Ji Gan, the current son of the Great Jin Kingdom.

There were reeds and dense plants on the shore. The accompanying guards checked carefully and reported to Ji Gan after making sure that there was no ambush.

Lin Chen didn't move a step from the beginning to the end, but just watched and felt silently.

Among the dozens of people, five were strong in the Yuan Condensation Realm, and the Yuan Force fluctuations emitted by the rest of them were also extremely strong. They should all be close to the Dzogchen of the Primordial Realm, or have reached the Dzogchen.

In comparison, apart from Ji Qian, only Lin Chen was at the lowest level.

Ji Qian looked at Lin Chen for a moment among the guards, and then walked towards Lin Chen alone.

Lin Chen looked at the other person, and from his demeanor, actions, and breath, he was sure that it was not someone else pretending to be him, but it was Ji Qian himself.

Compared with a few months ago, Ji Qian seemed to be more calm, with quite the air and majesty of an emperor.

Lin Chen got off the horse and slapped the horse on the buttocks, driving the horse farther away.

He casually grabbed it in the air, and a wooden chair appeared in his hand, which was gently placed on the ground.

Then a second chair appeared and was placed opposite the first chair.

The astonishment flashed across Ji Gan's face, and he walked up to him and sat on the chair, crossing his right leg over his left leg.

"Xiaoyao Wang is really a hero and brave enough to go to the meeting alone. I admire him very much."

Lin Chen sat down with a slight smile, "It seems that being an emperor is very tough, and you have the guts to come here alone."

"So what if you don't have the guts? If you want to kill me, do you still need to do it?"

Ji Gan glanced at the lake and said.

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, "Didn't you think that the five golden guards behind you would rush up and capture Lin alive?"

Ji Qian burst into laughter, "To be honest, for a moment, I had this idea, but in the end reason defeated the impulse. Lin Chen... In less than a year, he transformed from a reckless person to a great man. How could King Yan Xiaoyao give in so easily?"

"That's thanks to Brother Ji for making it happen."

Ji Gan just smiled when he heard the words, "Lin Chen, what's so good about the Xiaoyao King? I can make you a one-word side-by-side king, and give you a hundred cities to attack from generation to generation. I know that you are not a loyal monarch when you come to Dayan." , but for the sake of safety and security."

"Unexpectedly, after the old prince ascended the throne, he became a lobbyist."

Ji Qian said seriously, "I'm not just talking, this is an edict drafted by me myself..."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of ink-stained yellow silk from his bosom, "It has already been stamped with a jade seal. As long as you nod your head, I will immediately declare it to the world."

Lin Chen took the yellow silk and didn't even look at it. He raised his hand and withdrew his empty palm and said, "What a plan to separate people. The imperial edict will be erased from the world. There is no need to mention it again."

Ji Gan looked at Lin Chen's empty hand, and his eyelids twitched. He didn't know where the edict had gone, whether it was really destroyed, or whether it was put away by Lin Chen.

It seems that he has already made sufficient plans for this time, and after casting his eyes, he quickly took it back, "If you are worried that I will make trouble in the future, then there is no need. My imperial sister, Princess Ruyu, is young. 17 years old, with a peerless appearance, you may be allowed to be a concubine, Ruyu and I are born of the same mother, so naturally I will not harm her. So, do you still not trust me?"

"Such conditions really moved Lin a little bit, what about your conditions?" Lin Chen asked with eyes shifting.

Ji Gan smiled and said, "There are no conditions."

"Fake...too fake..."

Lin Chen pointed at Ji Gan and said, "For the sake of the throne, you can kill the second prince and your father, so what does a royal sister mean to you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this matter has nothing to do with it." Ji Gan's face changed suddenly.

Lin Chen raised his hands up, "There are gods three feet up, whether there is or not, it doesn't matter what the king is, you know this matter, don't worry, Lin will not talk nonsense."

"It's simply absurd." Ji Gan stood up with a flick of his robe sleeves, thought for a while, and then sat down again after realizing that he was not in the hall at the moment.

Ji Kun died suddenly, it must have been Ji Qian's doing.As for the old emperor, Lin Chen was just guessing. After all, the biggest beneficiary of the old emperor's funeral was Ji Qian. Otherwise, given time, it was uncertain whether he would be able to keep his crown prince.

Lin Chen was just cheating like this. Judging from Ji Gan's violently accelerated heartbeat, Lin Chen had confirmed his guess.

"Let's talk about today's topic." Lin Chen took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ji Qian.

Ji Qian took it, opened it and looked at it carefully, frowned and asked, "King Xiaoyao... what does this mean?"

There is no long speech on the paper, but the names of twenty cities are written in spider-like handwriting, all of which are cities in the southern border of Great Jin and bordering Dayan.

Lin Chen smiled, "It's very simple, exchange the twenty cities for the antidote."

"Impossible... Do you know how many people's interests will be affected by setting aside twenty cities for no reason? Not only will I lose my majesty, but I'm afraid the country will be unstable in the future." Ji Gan said without hesitation.

Lin Chen pulled the paper back and stood up, "No matter how unstable the country is, it is still the country. I really want to know, after you die, who will own the country?"

"If you open your mouth so unrealistically, aren't you afraid that my guards will swarm up and burn everything?" Ji Gan threatened with a sneer.

"Then you might as well give it a try. If it disappoints you, Lin won't kill you. Twenty cities will become forty cities."

Ji Gan hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't have the guts to take a gamble. His momentum gradually slowed down, and his voice lowered a little, "King Xiaoyao, it won't do you any good if I die. No matter who owns the country, you will have to lose any advantage." Yes. You don’t want to end up empty-handed after all the calculations, why don’t you say a condition that both you and I can accept!”

Lin Chen shook the paper in his hand, "It's all on it, the price is the same. At worst, you send Jin Wei to capture me?"

"Even if twenty cities are given to you, with your current manpower, do you think you can control them?" Ji Gan asked rhetorically.

"This king has never thought of controlling it by himself. Twenty cities were sold to Dayan, and each city must not give me 5000 million taels of silver. That is one billion taels."

"I understand. After all, you still want money?"
