She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

The location of the peace talks between the two countries was set in Tacheng.

Before participating in the peace talks, Wu Shilie set several conditions that Xirong was willing to accept after surrender, and presented them to Chu Tingyu in Tacheng.

Chu Tingyu didn't even look at him, but said calmly, "The defeated party has no right to make conditions and can only accept the demands of the victorious party."

Wu Shilie held his anger and asked Sheng Chao what conditions he had. He had a hunch that Chu Tingyu would ask for too much.

Sure enough, when he saw the conditions listed by Chu Tingyu, he was so angry that he slammed the table.

In addition to demanding that the Western Rong pay compensation and pay tribute to the Sheng Dynasty every year, they also demanded a reduction in the size of the Western Rong army.

In addition, the five important cities of Xirong occupied by the Sheng Dynasty were not handed over directly to Xirong, but were distributed one by one to the five largest tribes on the border of Xirong.

This is clearly intended to weaken the military and national strength of the Western Rong.

Wu Shilie said angrily, "Chu Tingyu, don't go too far!"

"I can agree to pay compensation and tribute, but the five important cities must be returned to Xirong. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss peace today."

The peace negotiation delegation behind him stood up, including the masked Qin Chongxiao.

Chu Tingyu's expression did not change at all, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then you can go. Sheng Chao doesn't mind taking the barren land of Xirong into its territory. It will just take more time and money. Sheng Chao can afford it, but what about Xirong?"

Wu Shilie's face turned red when he was asked this question. He really wanted to say something harsh, such as "let's just keep on wasting time."

But no matter how angry he was, he knew he couldn't do it.

The Western Rong did not have the strength to confront the Sheng Dynasty head-on, not to mention that they were suffering a crushing defeat.

With anger and unwillingness, he slowly sat down again.

After three days of negotiation, the final peace talks ended with a slight reduction in the amount of compensation, while all other terms were basically settled in accordance with Chu Tingyu's requirements.

Wu Shilie swallowed his anger and signed and stamped the peace treaty. Chu Tingyu took a look and waved behind him.

Soon, Yeqilu was brought up by two soldiers.

The peace treaty stipulated that the Sheng Dynasty had to release all Western Rong captives, naturally including Yeqilu.

His arm was bandaged after being shot by an arrow. Although he had been a prisoner for several days and his clothes were dirty, the arrogance on his face had not diminished much.

As soon as he came in, he said to Wu Shilie disdainfully, "Wu Shilie, you signed this kind of treaty. You don't care about the interests of Xirong at all."

Wu Shilie sneered, "If you hadn't been defeated and dragged the entire Xirong into the water, why would I sign a peace treaty?"

Tensions immediately mounted between the two men, and Qin Chongxiao stepped forward to dissuade Wu Shilie.

Wu Shilie snorted, "Let's go," and took the peace negotiation delegation out.

Ye Qilu did not move, but looked at Chu Tingyu, "I want to talk to you."

Chu Tingyu asked everyone else to leave, leaving only a few trusted guards and Li Jingwan.

"You say." Chu Tingyu said.

Li Jingwan, who was standing behind him, was somewhat curious about what Ye Qilu wanted to say.

Ye Qilu looked unconvinced and said in a deep voice, "Chu Tingyu, if Gao Yuanjia hadn't given me a fake battle plan, I wouldn't have lost."

Chu Tingyu smiled, and the sneer in his smile was clearly visible.

"Ye Qilu, if Gao Yuanjia hadn't helped you in the beginning, you wouldn't have had the chance to stand in front of me."

Ye Qilu's face froze, obviously Chu Tingyu had hit a sore spot.

He gritted his teeth, anger in his voice.

"Chu Tingyu, you are not better than me at all. You only have these things because your background is better than mine."

"I climbed to this position by myself. If I had a mother with a strong background like yours, I wouldn't be the loser today."

Chu Tingyu smiled again, not caring about what he said.

This smile instead irritated him, and Yeqilu's expression suddenly became ferocious.

"Chu Tingyu, I will not give up. One day, I will make a comeback and trample both you and Sheng Chao under my feet."

This time, Li Jingwan couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Ye Qilu looked at her and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Jingwan smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's mainly because what you said was so funny, I didn't mean to laugh out loud."

"What do you mean?!" Yeqilu became even angrier.

Li Jingwan explained, "People who fail always make a lot of excuses, but they will never admit that it was their own fault."

"Yeqilu, you are this kind of person, do you understand? You look tough, but you are actually a coward, a typical person who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

Ye Qilu could still endure being looked down upon by Chu Tingyu.

But when a woman said so bluntly that he was a coward who only knew how to make excuses, his face turned red with shame and anger, and he stared at Li Jingwan.

"you..."

But after saying just one word, he stopped, his face changed, and became full of suspicion and inquiry, and finally understanding.

Then, he shouted three words to Li Jingwan, "Sainwan."

Li Jingwan was stunned.

Yeqilu actually recognized her.

Seeing her expression change, Ye Qilu became more certain, "It is indeed you."

"You pretend to be Nagya's maid, but you are actually a spy sent by the Sheng Dynasty."

"You've got the wrong person." Li Jingwan refused to admit it.

"I'm not mistaken." Yeqilu stared into her eyes. "Although you were wearing a mask at the time, I still remember your eyes. You have a pair of very beautiful eyes."

"I gave you the cat's eye stone. Since you accepted it, why did you run away?"

Chu Tingyu was puzzled, but said to Ye Qilu, "Ye Qilu, she is the princess of Sheng Dynasty and doesn't know you."

"I know it's her." Ye Qilu had a wicked smile on his face, "If you accept my cat's eye stone, then she is my woman. Even if you are a princess, you can..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Tingyu suddenly punched him and Yeqilu fell to the ground.

Ye Qilu was lying on the ground and laughing, pointing at Li Jingwan, "Chu Tingyu, don't you Han people like marriage alliances? Give this woman to me, and I will consider it after returning to Xirong..."

In response, Chu Tingyu stomped hard on his chest.

Chu Tingyu's face was full of coldness. "Ye Qilu, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I promise that you will not leave Tacheng alive."

Feeling the increasing force Chu Tingyu exerted on his feet, Ye Qilu's face changed and he closed his mouth in annoyance.

Li Jingwan walked over and looked down at him.

"Ye Qilu, you look down on your mother's background, but you use her kindness to Gao Yuanjia to demand it from Gao Yuanjia. You like to use women as your stepping stones, but Sheng Chao won't."

"The Sheng Dynasty will not allow any woman to marry into the imperial court, and we can still defeat the Western Rong. If you want something, you should fight for it yourself, instead of relying on women to get to the top and looking down on women like you do."

Li Jingwan smiled softly, "You are the most cowardly man I have ever seen."
