The female cannon fodder in the book, the villain instantly turned into a pitiful and coquettish gir

This burly and strong minister who was able to lift a tripod was none other than Cheng Da, the “Iron Pillar General” personally appointed by Ling Muxiao.

As soon as he received the emperor's edict, he began to make intensive preparations as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

It seemed as if he was going to the Han Kingdom to attend a grand banquet rather than to negotiate.

He first ran to the treasury of the palace in a hurry.

The look in his eyes was like a wolf that had been hungry for several days seeing a flock of sheep. He picked out a large pile of gold, silver, and rare treasures, filling several large boxes.

He thought to himself: "If the King of Han sees these treasures, he will be so happy. Then the negotiations will be easy, right?"

Then, he strolled to the imperial kitchen. His nose seemed to be able to smell fragrances from thousands of miles away. He ate and drank a sumptuous meal, accepting all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

He grumbled as he ate, "I need to eat more so that I can have more energy for the negotiations. I can't let King Han see that the Ling people are weak."

Finally, he ran to the library in the palace.

The look in his eyes was like Columbus discovering the New World. He rummaged through boxes and drawers to find a bunch of books on negotiation skills, psychology, and public speaking training, ready to catch up.

He was talking to himself as he watched.

"Negotiation is a technical job. We need to convince the cold prince."

Ling Muxiao looked at Cheng Da's busy figure and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This guy, does he treat negotiation as an outing?

Even though you carry so many things, you are not afraid of getting tired.

But, forget it. After all, this is the decision made by the ministers themselves, so I won’t say much.

However, you have to do your best and don't embarrass me.

Finally, Ling Muxiao made the final decision: Cheng Aiqing, if you can convince King Han, I will reward you handsomely; if you mess up, hehe, then wait for my beating.

General Tiezhu received the order and set off for Lincheng with his "luxury gift package".

Along the way, he rode a tall horse, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, attracting the attention of passers-by.

He was so proud in his heart, as if he had already seen himself successfully persuading King Han and returning triumphantly.

On the other side, King Han Ling Jinhan and Liu Jingshu were waiting for General Tiezhu's arrival.

When they heard that Ling Muxiao had sent an envoy to negotiate, they were so proud.

However, in addition to wanting to know what kind of people Ling Muxiao would send, Ling Jinhan was also waiting for Liu Jingshu to meet up with him.

After all, to seize the throne, you have to rely on your own people.

The group of Yun people behind him still cannot be brought into the heartland of Ling State.

However, when he heard that the envoy was a burly minister with a face full of flesh.

They were laughing so hard that they seemed to have seen the joke of this negotiation.

Before General Tiezhu arrived in Lincheng, Liu Jingshu had already reunited with Ling Jinhan.

So, as soon as Cheng Da arrived, he was brought in front of Ling Jinhan and Liu Jingshu.

When he saw this scene, he was very nervous, but he still pretended to be calm.

He cleared his throat.

“Your Highness Prince Han, on behalf of the Emperor of Ling, I express my most sincere greetings and respects to you.

We, the Ling Kingdom, have always upheld the principle of peaceful coexistence and do not want to see unnecessary wars.

Therefore, we are willing to negotiate with you and work together to find a peaceful solution."

A playful smile appeared on Ling Jinhan's lips as he glanced at General Tiezhu.

"Oh? A peaceful solution? Then what sincerity do you, Ling Nation, plan to show?"

When General Tiezhu heard this, he quickly took out a pile of gold, silver, and rare treasures from his arms and placed them in front of Ling Jinhan.

"This is a small gift from the Emperor of Ling State. Please accept it, Your Highness Prince Han."

When Ling Jinhan saw this pile of things, his eyes lit up, but he still pretended to be disdainful on his face.

"I have plenty of these things. If Ling Muxiao really wants to negotiate, he should bring out something substantial."

General Tiezhu was extremely anxious, but he remained calm.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Then... then our Ling Kingdom is willing to cede three cities to you, and the Emperor is willing to govern Ling Kingdom with you in peace. Do you think our sincerity is enough?"

Ling Jinhan had a scornful smile on his face.

"I say, General Tiezhu, is it you who has water in your brain, or is it mine?

Three cities? Send away beggars?"

Seeing Cheng Da sweating profusely, he finally relaxed.

"If you want to negotiate, you must cede at least ten cities."

General Tiezhu was stunned.

There was so much regret in his heart.

"How come this King Han is even more difficult to deal with than Emperor Mu? I should have brought more things with me earlier."

But he still pretended to be calm.

"Well... I have to go back and ask His Majesty the Emperor for instructions."

When Ling Jinhan heard this, he sneered.

"Okay, then you can go back and ask for instructions. However, I don't have that much time to wait for you. If your Ling Kingdom doesn't give a satisfactory answer within three days, don't blame our Han Kingdom for being rude."

When General Tiezhu heard this, he was so scared that he nodded quickly, then left the Han Kingdom palace in shame.

He felt so miserable.

"This is great. How can we explain this to His Majesty the Emperor when we get back?"

But he still gritted his teeth and set out on the journey back to Ling State.

On the other side, Ling Muxiao was sticking his butt out, his eyes as big as copper bells, staring outside the hall.

He felt like there was a rabbit beating drums madly in his heart, just waiting for General Tiezhu to return triumphantly with the fruits of victory so that he could show off.

In the end, after waiting for so long, what they got was a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue from the blue from General Tiezhu - King Han wanted to cede ten cities? !

When Ling Muxiao heard this, he was instantly petrified, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He felt so depressed, as if he had eaten fly poop and couldn't swallow it.

When this news came out in the court, it was like throwing a bomb into the room, leaving everyone in an uproar.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment, their expressions more bitter than eating coptis chinensis, their hearts filled with mixed emotions, richer than a palette.

At this time, Taifu Zhu Ren, an old man who usually lived a leisurely life, playing with birds and planting flowers, was so frightened when he heard the news that he almost threw away the walking stick in his hand.

The whole person shuddered as if he was struck by lightning, and then rushed into the hall with lightning speed, trembling on his crutches, as if he was on a hot wheel, with sparks and lightning all the way.
