Jiang Di's hand paused in the air, with a black spot between his fingers, as if by accident.

"Then go."

After a while, he lightly dropped the bag and said.

Jiang Lang was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that Emperor Jiang agreed so easily.Liu Gong, who was standing by the side, was also taken aback.

Jiang Lang was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely fulfill his mission. After completing this peace talks, we will never let the Sui Kingdom take advantage of our Jiang Kingdom!"

Jiang Lang couldn't wait to shout and cry happily.

During this period of time, all the grievances and humiliations he had suffered in Muyun Pass disappeared with Jiang Di's words.He knew that his father let go of his mouth and agreed to let Jiang Yun take him to the north because of other painstaking efforts.Father is just using Jiang Yun to guard the pass. Now that the crisis at Muyun Pass has been resolved, Jiang Yun has lost its value. Father will no longer let Jiang Yun monopolize the power.

His father asked him to come here, to suffer and wait, just to lift him up at the critical moment and let him reap the fruits of victory.

He is still the emperor's favorite son.

When Jiang Lang retreated, Duke Liu couldn't help but asked cautiously, "Why did Your Majesty agree to King Chu's request?"

The king of Chu did not participate in the war deeply, and his talent in governing the country was simply not comparable to that of His Royal Highness.His Majesty has always distinguished between public and private affairs, and will never delay state affairs because of private affairs. This move is really abnormal.

Emperor Jiang asked inappropriately: "Liu Jiu, do you know what is the deadliest thing for a person to live in this world?"

Liu Gong was taken aback.

Jiang Di sneered.

"Not stupid, but stupid."

Liu Gong looked at the emperor's cold and heartless eyes, and thought about the meaning of this sentence, suddenly a chill ran through his bones, from the soles of his feet to his back.

Today is a windy weather.

But Jiang Lang's heart was clear and comfortable.

He bathed and changed his clothes. He wore the gorgeous crown clothing exclusive to the King of Chu. He rode in a chariot bestowed by Emperor Jiang and led a group of counselors and generals from Muyun Pass to the Beacon Tower.

The beacon tower is next to the Sui Army's garrison, but since the two sides have decided to negotiate peace, there is no need to worry about security issues.

Jiang Lang was full of ambition and couldn't wait to take this opportunity to make a great contribution.He showed the demeanor of a virtuous corporal again, humbly invited Fan Zhou and the other two counselors into the car, and asked them about the specific details of the peace talks.

"I heard that Mr. Fan likes to eat desserts. This is the jujube cake specially ordered by the king. Try it, sir. Does it suit your taste?"

Jiang Lang courteously ordered the palace servants to present a plate of jujube cakes carved in the shape of lotus flowers.

Fan Zhou felt ashamed and said that he had a toothache from getting angry recently, and he was afraid that he would disappoint the King of Chu's good intentions.

It was not the first day Jiang Lang had dealt with Fan Zhou. He knew that this person was not easy to deal with, and he was very difficult to deal with. However, Fan Zhou was the number one advisor under Jiang Yun's command. It is possible to get rid of other counselors in Lanxin Palace.Jiang Lang wanted to win him over no matter what.

Jiang Lang was not angry, but said humbly: "This king is not thinking carefully, and this king has asked someone to cook silver flower tea for sir."

Fan Zhou covered his cheeks and said, "Don't dare to bother His Highness the King of Chu, His Highness doesn't know something, Caomin is naturally allergic to silver flowers, and when he touches this thing, he will get red bumps all over his body, for the sake of this peace talk, Caomin still doesn't drink it. "

Jiang Lang's patience is also limited.

He said: "White water is alright, right? Mister doesn't want to touch my king's things, is it because I'm afraid I'll poison the water? Or, Mister doesn't want to obey Wang's orders, and doesn't want to assist me to complete the peace talks?"

Fan Zhou could only put down his hands, and reluctantly took a sip of the white water handed over by the King of Chu himself.

Jiang Lang sat forward and said: "About today's peace talks, what regulations have been drawn up by the master, can you show me first, so that I can make preparations."

Fan Zhou remembered Jiang Yun's instructions, so he took out a notebook similar to a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Lang.

"His Highness personally reviewed and revised this. His Highness said, please keep the above content in mind, and it is best to memorize it verbatim. Don't lose face for Jiang Guo."

Jiang Lang felt a little uncomfortable.

What does it mean to lose Jiang Guo's face? Dare Jiang Yun is the only one who can represent Jiang Guo's face, but Jiang Lang can't?

Jiang Lang snorted coldly, and said: "This king is the envoy appointed by the emperor for the peace talks. Naturally, this king has the final say on how to negotiate this peace talk. It's not his turn to be a prince to teach this king how to do things."

Fan Zhou and Jiang Lang spent a whole spring together in Muyunguan, fighting wits and courage every day. They naturally knew that this King of Chu was magnanimous on the surface, but in reality he was narrow-minded and eager for quick success.

Let him be loyal to such a lord, he would rather throw himself into the river to die.

Although the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of them is different, but the difference between the King of Chu and His Royal Highness is too far.

Fan Zhou said solemnly: "This peace talk is of great importance. The grassroots hope that His Highness will focus on the overall situation. Your Highness had better read this note carefully."

Jiang Lang also knew that right now he still needed to rely on these counselors under Jiang Yun's command to help him make suggestions and complete the peace talks, and it was not appropriate to go against Fan Zhou and others.

He took it and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will read it carefully."

Fan Zhou said again: "There is one more thing. The Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom has a domineering temperament and cruel methods. He is a down-to-earth and cold-faced King of Hades. When we meet later, Your Highness must pay attention to his words and deeds, and don't provoke this person."

Jiang Lang had heard of Sui Heng's notoriety, and knew that the prince of the Sui Kingdom had made outstanding military exploits at a young age, and he was powerful in all countries in the north of the Yangtze River. The iron cavalry under his command even had the terrifying title of blood slaughter.

Jiang Lang was naturally afraid of such a person.

But Jiang Lang thought of another thing, and Jiang Lang raised his eyebrows: "I heard that the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom hates our Crown Prince to the bone, is there such a thing?"

Fan Zhou couldn't understand Jiang Lang's gloating behavior.

Fan Zhou said solemnly: "Your Highness is the eldest prince of Jiang Kingdom, His Majesty's eldest son, His Highness's elder brother, how can you believe such rumors."

"rumor?"

Jiang Lang smiled triumphantly: "This matter is no secret in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and you don't have to cover it up for our prince. According to this king, fortunately, my father is wise, and today I sent another king to preside over the overall situation. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes here, it might directly anger the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom, and lead to hostility between the two countries again."

Fan Zhou didn't respond again.

Jiang Lang became more and more complacent, and began to seriously study the notes in his hand.

On the day when the Sui army attacked Muyun Pass, although Jiang Lang was trapped in the palace, he heard the earth-shattering sound of horseshoes and the killing intent that couldn't be blocked by the high walls.

The Sui army has the strength to attack the city, just as Jiang Yun has the strength to defend the city.

It should have been a bloody battle.

However, the ambitious Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom agreed to shake hands with Jiang Yun in the form of a chess duel.

There must be something tricky in this.

Based on the rumored Sui Crown Prince's hatred for Jiang Yun, Jiang Lang was certain that Jiang Yun must have given the Sui Crown Prince a lot of benefits in exchange for the Sui State's retreat.

Jiang Lang hoped to find some evidence or clues from the manuscript in front of him.

But what was written in the handwriting were all specific measures of mutual benefit between the north and the south, down to the price and type of tea exchanged by horses. Before Jiang Lang could figure out where he was going wrong, the Beacon Tower arrived.

When Jiang Lang got out of the cart, he immediately saw two rows of cavalrymen displayed outside the beacon tower.

These cavalrymen were all tall and mighty, with stern expressions, scimitars on their waists, and stood expressionlessly like stone sculptures. Their bodies exuded a bloody and murderous aura that a pampered royal family like Jiang Lang had never seen before.

This is a brave army that can only be polished by the fierce battlefield in the north.

Walking among these soldiers, Jiang Lang felt as if there were countless invisible swords hanging above his head. The swords were all pointed downwards, aiming at his neck. Even the air he breathed was filled with bone-penetrating chill and fierce The killing intent made him tremble uncontrollably.

Fan Qi came out from the inside with a knife in his hand. When he saw Jiang Lang, he frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

He has a loud voice, eyes like copper bells, extremely fierce, just standing still, he is as unshakable as a door god.

Jiang Lang forced himself to stabilize his mind, and said, "This king is Jiang Lang, king of Chu."

"King Chu?"

Fan Qi spat.

"Where did the little boy come from, and dare to trespass on the Sui army's camp."

Fan Zhou took a step forward and introduced on his behalf: "This is the great prince of our Jiang country, and today he is here to hold peace talks with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by order of His Majesty."

Fan Qi glanced sideways at Jiang Lang, and saw Jiang Lang's slightly trembling legs at a glance.

Spit again.

"Then the old man Jiangdi has no son, so he sent such a counselor over here. Where are you and Your Highness?"

Returning to the great prince of the Jiang Kingdom is far from being a little vixen.

Fan Zhou said: "Your Highness is unwell and cannot come here, but His Highness asked me to bring a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and General Fan will pass it on for you."

Fan Zhou took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fan Qi.

Fan Qi took it suspiciously, told them to wait outside, turned around and went in.

Jiang Lang looked at Fan Zhou dissatisfied: "Why doesn't this king know about that letter?"

From Jiang Lang's point of view, this is likely to be proof that Jiang Yunli has connected with foreign enemies!

Fan Zhou said neither humble nor overbearing: "That is a letter written by His Highness the Crown Prince to the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom. According to the rules, His Highness is not qualified to inspect it."

Jiang Lang was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Xu Qiao didn't expect that Emperor Jiang would change people suddenly. Seeing that Sui Heng was holding the letter in his hand and reading it with heavy eyebrows, he asked, "What did His Highness Rong and His Highness say in the letter?"

Sui Heng said: "He said, let Gu Shou show mercy and don't play people to death."

Xu Qiao: "..."

Xu Qiao asked: "Then what does His Highness plan to do?"

Sui Heng put the letter into his bosom, put it away properly, and then twitched the corner of his mouth, saying: "Gu is in a good mood today, so naturally I have to have a good time with the King of Chu."

Jiang Lang stood on the air vent, his crown was blown into a mess by the strong wind. After waiting for almost a moment, Fan Qi still did not come out. He couldn't help being impetuous, and asked Fan Zhou: "What does the prince of the Sui Kingdom mean? How dare he treat Ben so slowly?" Wang, don't you plan to talk about peace?"

Fan Zhou said: "We all follow His Highness's instructions. If His Highness thinks something is wrong, we can give up the peace talks and return to where we were."

Jiang Lang was naturally unwilling to go back where he was, because that would make him look so incompetent, Jiang Lang gritted his teeth, and said, "Keep waiting, I won't believe it, the Crown Prince of Sui really dares to let me stand here all day."

Sui Heng did not make Jiang Lang wait for a day, and after about a moment, Sui Heng ordered someone to let him go, and let Jiang Lang and his party enter a temporary tent.

One side of the tent was already full of generals and important counselors of the Sui Kingdom, and in the middle of the tent was a big pot with something cooking in it, and the whole tent was filled with a strong smell of meat.Holding the wine cup, Sui Heng sat lazily behind the desk, on which was a wolf's head knife.

Although Jiang Lang was dissatisfied with the other party's deliberate negligence, the moment he saw Sui Heng, the resentment in his heart was suppressed by the other party's sharp eyebrows and the extremely aggressive and oppressive aura emanating from him.It was a kind of sharpness and beauty that could not be described in words, like a blade that had been tempered in ice for thousands of years.

When those deep and cold eyes stared at him with a smile that was not a smile, it reminded Jiang Lang of the invisible blade hanging from his neck when he just stepped into this place.

Sui Heng asked Jiang Lang to sit wherever he wanted.

Then he pointed to the cauldron in the tent and said, "Come here, pick and cut off the fattest piece for His Highness the King of Chu."

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward, took a machete and tossed in the pot for a while, then took out a large piece of hot white fat, and presented it to Jiang Lang.

Jiang Lang has been pampered since he was a child, and he never tires of eating fine meat and meat. He has never seen such a large piece of fat meat, nor has he smelled such a strong meat aroma.Jiang Lang actually couldn't eat, but when the two countries met today, how could he be looked down upon because of eating alone.Jiang Lang picked up a small knife on one side, cut off a piece of fat, endured the greasyness and put it in his mouth, imitating the boldness of a soldier, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The fat and fat burst between the teeth, and Jiang Lang almost didn't spit it out.

Sui Heng asked: "How does it taste? Is it fragrant?"

"Very good, very, very fragrant."

Jiang Lang resisted nausea and said.

Sui Heng smiled: "The fragrance is right. These are the complete leg bones that Gu specially sawed off from those dead bodies. They are all fresh corpses that have not been older than twelve o'clock. They are the most plump and fragrant when cooked."

The blood on Jiang Lang's face faded away, he looked at Sui Heng's eyes like looking at an evil spirit, and then at the Sui generals who were eating meat on the opposite side, he dropped the knife in his hand with a bang, and before Sui Heng could finish speaking, he slammed He rushed out of the tent and vomited violently.

It wasn't until he vomited out the sour water in his stomach that Jiang Lang staggered in with a pale face.

Sui Heng pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why? But this meat is not cooked enough to suit the King of Chu's taste? Come here, give the King of Chu a bowl of broth to warm his stomach."

"No, no need."

Jiang Lang immediately refused.

But the soldiers only listened to Sui Heng's orders, and still insisted on filling a bowl of white soup and putting it in front of Jiang Lang.

Jiang Lang only glanced at it, then ran out of the tent again and vomited.

Mu Yun closed.

Jiang Yun stood silently on the top of the city gate, staring into the distance in a daze.

Yun Huai stood behind him and said, "If Your Highness is worried, this subordinate can accompany His Highness to the Beacon Tower."

Jiang Yun looked at it for a while, turned around, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "I have nothing to worry about, I have already explained all the precautions to Fan Zhou."

"He's also looking at the bigger picture."

On the way back, Jiang Yun met Emperor Jiang.

Jiang Yun knelt down to salute, Emperor Jiang waved away the crowd and asked, "Are you still blaming your father?"

The words were endless, and there was a strange silence, caged between the father and son.

Jiang Yun raised his eyes, looked at Emperor Jiang quietly, and said, "I have never blamed my father."

Jiang Di looked down at the young boy from a high position, trying to find the real answer from those eyes, but those eyes were black and pure, as pure as spring rain.

Really can not see the slightest resentment.

Similar to that guy, but not like that.

Better at disguising and hiding than that person.

Jiang Di took pleasure in trying to figure out people's hearts all his life, and he didn't like this kind of impenetrable feeling.

He snorted coldly and said, "You're lying."

Jiang Yundao: "If the father insists on thinking so, the son and minister can't help it."

Emperor Jiang's anger was completely aroused, he stretched out his hand, pinched his youngest son's chin, forced his black eyes to look at him, and said: "I saved that disaster for you today, shouldn't you be grateful to me?"

Jiang Yun pursed the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

Emperor Jiang ordered: "Speak."

Jiang Yundao: "My son won't. Because my son knows that everything my father puts on my son is not for my son, but for him to see. My father wants to use my son to stimulate him, just like using Chu The king is like irritating the sons and ministers. Therefore, the sons will neither blame the father because the father favors the king of Chu, nor appreciate the father because the father punished the king of Chu in this way."

Jiang Di's expression froze suddenly.

Then he said: "You are talking more and more presumptuously to me now."

"However, you are right. I will still indulge you and let you be your crown prince. No one in this world can shake your position as crown prince."

"But you don't want to be loved by me. I will always favor the king of Chu. I want him to know the price of leaving me."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Jiang lowered his eyes, wanting to see a trace of grievance from the eyes of his youngest son, even if it was only a trace.But no, he didn't see anything.

Jiang Yun took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "I think my father should be interested in seeing this thing."

Emperor Jiang took it, opened it and saw that it was a confession letter with Jiang Lang's signature on it.

Jiang Yun said: "According to the law, collaborating with the enemy and treason is a capital crime. As long as the son and minister make this thing public to the government and the public, the king of Chu will die."

Jiang Di's palm trembled violently with anger.

After a while, with dark eyes, he asked, "What do you want?"

Jiang Yun said: "Use this piece of paper to exchange something with my father."

"what?"

"Xindu."

Emperor Jiang frowned.

Jiang Yundao: "My minister will build a new capital in Muyunguan as an important base for north-south communication. From today, my minister will be stationed in the new capital and issue all government orders and military orders related to the exchanges between the north and the south. My minister will not return to the old He will no longer be a pawn used by his father to torture him."

"You are presumptuous!"

A sharp lightning shot out from Emperor Jiang's eyes, he raised his palm, and slammed it down hard.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Gong stood half a zhang away anxiously, his heart almost rose to his throat, when he saw this, he was startled, and immediately rushed to kneel on the ground to stop Jiang Di.

Jiang Di's palms were still shaking.

Jiang Yun wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth with no expression on his face, and said, "My son, I would like to thank my father for my success."

After saying that, he got up, picked up the confession that fell on the ground, saluted respectfully, turned and left.

"Your Highness."

Yun Huai had been standing far away on the side of the city wall waiting. Seeing Jiang Yun approaching, his face was full of palm prints, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth. He suddenly changed his color and said, "Your Highness... are you okay?"

Jiang Yun raised the corners of his mouth, stood in front of the wind, his green sleeves fluttered, and his expression was unprecedentedly relaxed.

Said: "Of course very good."

"From childhood to adulthood, this is the happiest day for Gu."

In the evening, Chu Wang Jiang Lang came back from the meeting, and the peace talks went smoothly, but Jiang Lang accidentally broke a leg while being invited to race horses outside the pass with the Sui Crown Prince, and was carried back.

Jiang Lang was in so much pain that he passed out several times on the way.
