Lord of Rebirth

227、Talking about peace

In the end, Sun Moyao couldn't say no to Shen Xi, and he really couldn't find a better candidate, but he really couldn't feel at ease and let Shen Xi go like this.So he personally selected 12 bodyguards to come out, and ordered them to escort Shen Xi Zhouquan.

These 12 people were all guards who followed the prince from birth to death. Of course, they now regard Shen Xi as important as the prince, and they all vowed that they would rather die than let Shen Xi lose a hair.

Shen Xi felt a little dumbfounded when he heard that, but at this moment he still followed the prince's wish.

It didn't take much time to go to Wuhuai City, and there were no people on the road, but when he came to the city, Shen Xi felt a little nervous when he saw the heavily guarded soldiers.

But this time he came to negotiate peace, and no matter what he had to do, he had to take the eldest princess away even if the peace could not be negotiated.

He didn't take a breath at all, and went straight to the palace after entering Wuhuai City.

However, Shen Xi felt a little depressed along the way. After all, this Wuhuai city is also the capital of Beili Kingdom. How could the whole city look lifeless, and no two people could be seen on the road?

The architecture of Wuhuai City is really strange. The black bricks and tiles and the gate are also made of black wood. It looks very uncomfortable, like a dead city that has been burned.

This probably has something to do with the original birthplace of Beili Kingdom.

The ancestors of the Northern Li Kingdom came from the Yinhai side, but the people of the Southern Shun Kingdom didn’t know what the Yinhai side was like, and they didn’t want to settle in a certain place. To be precise, to be precise, to live by robbing.

Later, imitating the state of Nanshun, they began to settle by the river.Some things have changed, but the essence of robbing has not changed.Afterwards, Beili Kingdom gradually grew stronger, and the current appearance is probably a collection of everything that was plundered, making people really uncomfortable to watch.

Shen Xi entered the palace. This palace was built after learning from the palace of Nansun Kingdom in the ancient city of Luoyang a hundred years ago.

Standing in front of the main hall, I heard a commotion inside, and then someone came out to say that Mr. Shen can go in, and there was no sound inside immediately.

Shen Xi stepped on the hall and made a creaking sound. He looked down and saw that the floor was neither marble nor brick, but wooden, black, the same as what he saw outside.

Going further in, the ministers with unkind faces turned their heads to look at him, consciously giving way in the middle.

On the other side, the emperor was sitting in front of the hall, his complexion was not good, he looked a little tired, and he didn't look very old. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he looked at Shen Xi with resentment, his eyes seemed to be able to spray Get out of the fire.

Shen Xi cleared his throat, walked in front of the emperor and bowed his hands, "Shen Xi, who joined the army under the King of Nanshun Liangzhou, has met Emperor Li, and wishes him good health and longevity."

Li Huang squeezed out from his throat, "Well, excuse me."

Shen Xi raised his eyes again, and looked at the emperor calmly.

Li Huang opened his mouth, "You Shun Kingdom, do you want to come to negotiate peace with us?"

Shen Xi bowed his head and cupped his hands, "Come here today, naturally there is only one thing."

Li Huang nodded slowly, "Very good, let's talk about the conditions."

"Conditions?" Shen Xi looked at Li Huang in confusion, "Is it a mistake? It should be that you think about what conditions to come up with so that we can agree to negotiate peace."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall exploded, everyone shouted, pointed at Shen Xi and started cursing.The following guards blocked Shen Xi's side in an instant, and drew out their short knives to face the ministers who were about to rush up.

Li Huang raised his hand, and the surroundings fell silent instantly, his eyes were fixed on Shen Xi, "Why do you think we should beg you to negotiate peace?"

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Because I am a dignified Nanshun, the two armies have converged, and only Wuhuai City is left, and who in your country of Li can stop us now? Even if there is, do you think we will be afraid? And see It seems that Emperor Li probably doesn't know that Huan Kingdom has reached the border of your country, does he?"

During the ceremony, the pot exploded again.

"Too arrogant!—"

"I don't care about people at all—!!"

"Who is this!—"

"The emperor can't let this person leave!—"

"Hit him! Hit him!—"

There was a lot of noise around, but Shen Xi stood in the middle, standing still, his eyes fixed on Li Huang's body, with a faint smile on his face.

Li Huang chuckled, "Aren't you afraid? Why did you come to talk to us?!"

Shen Xi lowered his head and smiled, "His Royal Highness, as I said just now, we stopped to talk to you precisely because Huan Guo came. If we want to fight, we are not afraid, it's just that there is an extra Huan Guo , we don’t want them to take advantage of it. I think His Highness Li Huang should think about the good opportunity we have brought to you.”

Li Huang stretched out his hand, and the guards next to him helped him up one by one from left to right. He hunched over and faced Shen Xi, sneering: "Do you think your arrival is a gift to me, Da Bei Li?!"

Shen Xi hurriedly cupped his hands, "Don't dare to act, dare not act."

"You—" Li Huang paused, "Oh! What if we don't agree!"

"Then let's start a war." Shen Xi raised his head and said coldly.

Li Huang sneered, "Huh?! Didn't you say just now that you don't want to take advantage of Huan Guo?"

Shen Xi also just shrugged his shoulders, "If I were Your Highness Li Huang, I would definitely send someone to investigate what Huan Guo is doing now, and what Shun Guo is doing, instead of hiding here and listening to a group of ministers arguing. "

"What did you say!"

"I mean." Shen Xi raised his voice, "We have already sent General Wei to deal with Huan. We don't care about small countries like Huan. You better pray that General Wei won't accept them. Huan Guo's suggestion, unite the armies of our two countries to attack you."

"You will unite?!" Li Huang became even more annoyed, "Since this is the case! What do you want us to talk to you about!"

"If we talk about peace, then General Wei will help you drive Huan away!" Shen Xi laughed.

All of a sudden, the ceremony seemed to be even quieter than before.

Li Huang was a little confused, "Why do you want to help us again..."

Shen Xi opened his hands, "Because the territory of your Northern Li Kingdom belongs to our Southern Shun Kingdom! Now you are just letting you live here! If another Huan Kingdom comes to invade our Shun Kingdom's territory, do you think we will Don't you want to make a move? So, we are also "borrowed" here, of course we will give priority to your country of Li, not the country of Huan!"

Hearing this, Emperor Li immediately realized, why not talk about peace, it's just that Nanshun Kingdom is going to give them a way to survive, why not choose Huan Kingdom?Because they are not familiar with Huan, and Shun and Li have already fought each other so far, and they already know each other well. If there is another Huan, even Shun needs to think carefully about whether they should continue to fight.

However, what Shen Xi said didn't mean that they couldn't beat Huan Guo, but it was just like what he said just now, they didn't want Huan Guo to take advantage of it.

The promise of this matter would not be of any benefit to Bei Li Kingdom, but it was just a little consolation in the worst situation, even though this consolation was sent by the enemy.

As the emperor of the Li Kingdom, it is impossible for him not to be clear about the current situation in the Northern Li Kingdom. They used to get off the horses, but now they are no match for the group of people who got on the horses later.

Especially when he heard that Hu Lie and Huang Song were defeated by the Yellow River, he was completely devastated.

Moreover, they have been defeated repeatedly on the Eastern Front, and there is no way to compare with each other.

Since when did Nanshun Kingdom already surpass them?

Li Huang no longer had the strength to think about so many things anymore. He regained his footing and asked Shen Xi: "You, you tell me again, are you sure you want a truce with your country?"

"Yes." Shen Xi nodded, "But we have additional conditions."

"You said."

"One, the territory previously occupied by our country must be returned to us." Shen Xi said slowly.

Li Huang did not immediately agree.

Shen Xi didn't care about him, and continued: "Second, for the Eldest Princess... your Princess Xuan, move the grave."

Concubine Xuan is the eldest princess married to their Beili country, and the concubine who passed away before the man in front of him.It stands to reason that the concubines in the royal harem died first, and they must wait for the emperor to move into the imperial mausoleum together after a hundred years.But now Nanshun Kingdom wants to let Concubine Xuan return to her mother country, which is to ignore their royal family of Li Kingdom.

But now they don't seem to have the capital to negotiate terms.

Li Huang was silent for a long time before opening his mouth, "These two conditions...I...will think about it later."

Shen Xi cupped his hands at him, "Then respectfully wait for His Royal Highness Li Huang's reply, and I will take my leave first."

"Wait." Li Huang raised his hand, "You can't leave for now."

"Oh?" Shen Xi looked back at him.He suddenly understood in his heart that Li Huang was planning to hold them back and send someone to investigate the situation in Huan Kingdom.

In fact, Shen Xi asked Wei Zhenyun to go to the army of the Huan Kingdom. He really intended to frighten the emperor of the Li Kingdom and a group of ministers here. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't be scared. Now he can only pray that their investigation is not so detailed.

Shen Xi added, "We don't have to leave, but you can't put us under house arrest."

"Please!"

Being forced to stay in Wuhuai City, Shen Xi could have guessed it would be like this, so this was the reason why he didn't want Sun Moyao to come with him, so what's the matter if the prince was trapped in Wuhuai City with him?But since that was the case, it was really impossible for him to just stay in the city obediently.

Before leaving, Shen Xi said suddenly, "I'm going to pay homage to the eldest princess, and I'm going now."
