Flower Fairy's Tribulation

Everyone returned the salute, and Jiang Guohui said loudly: "The two heroes have arrived, and I am a little too far away to greet them. Please forgive me!"

Qiang Gu smiled and said, "We came here uninvited, please forgive me!"

Jiang Guohui said: "It's easy to talk! It's easy to talk! I wonder what old heroes Qiang and Zhao have to teach you here?"

Qiang Jiu said: "Your Majesty, I came here to visit because I have something to do. Old Hero Zhao was passing by and happened to drop by to congratulate Princess He!"

Everyone looked at the two of them, and He Chenghuan stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "Thank you so much! How can my little granddaughter He De dare to trouble the two heroes to come here in person? I wonder what the old hero is doing here? Do you have something to teach me, or do you want to see your majesty?" "

Qiang Gu smiled slightly and said: "Qiang was ordered by Pope Yin Mu to come to Lusheng City to see His Majesty the Emperor Wu Sheng. After hearing that His Majesty was not in the palace, he came to Liehuo City with other patriarchs to attend the engagement ceremony of Princess He. The little old man came here specially Come and ask for an audience.”

When Jiang Guohui heard that Yin Mu sent him here, he was stunned for a moment. Thinking about the word peace written on the gift list just now, he guessed that he might be the messenger of peace, and then said: "The strong old hero has come all the way. , Thank you for your hard work, I wonder what His Majesty the Pope has to say?"

Qiang Gu said: "Wu Sheng Kingdom and Ba Qiu Kingdom have been in constant conflict for years, with huge costs and loss of lives. The Pope cannot bear it. He is willing to be a peacemaker and prays that the two countries will stop fighting, shake hands and make peace, so as to relieve the suffering of the people. His Majesty the Pope A handwritten letter, expressly ordering me to see Your Majesty and hand it over to Your Majesty for your inspection." He took out a letter sealed with lacquer from his pocket and handed it to He Sanli, who hurriedly presented the letter to Jiang Guohui.

The conflict between Wusheng State and Baqiu State originated from Wusheng State's liquidation of the Holy Spirit Society's forces that were above the laws of the country. Then the Holy Spirit Society instigated its old enemy Baqiu State to send troops to attack Wusheng State. The Holy Spirit Army also participated in the war to help Baqiu State. Qiangjiu did not mention this at all. , only talking about the long-cherished wishes of Wu Sheng Kingdom and Ba Qiu Kingdom, but they acted as peacemakers, which shows their hypocrisy.

Jiang Guohui and the people from the seven major clans frowned. Jiang Guohui opened the letter and saw a few lines written in ink on the letter: "Your Majesty Guohui, your Majesty Guohui: The war between the Wu Sheng Kingdom and the Ba Qiu Kingdom is protracted, wasteful, and ruined. This is what God does not want to see. Now the Emperor Su Gui of Baqiu State intends to make peace and end the endless suffering of the people of the two countries. If Your Majesty intends to make peace, the people of the two countries will be very lucky! Yin is not talented, and he is willing to be a guarantee for both countries. There is no time to wait for the conditions for communication between the two countries. Please think twice and make a decision as soon as possible. Yin Mu sent a handwritten letter, dated June 6th."

This was written by the Yin Mu Sect two months ago. Holy Spirit City is nearly [-] miles away from here. It is not surprising that it took Qiangji nearly two months to arrive.

After Jiang Guohui read it, he handed it to Military Minister Wang Zhongchen for viewing and circulated it to several clan leaders. Jiang Guohui said: "Wu Shengguo never likes to fight, and of course he intends to make peace. It's just that the emperor of Baqiu, Su Gui, bullied others, was aggressive, and repeatedly invaded our border. It was his refusal to stop that led to the two countries fighting each other, and the soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield. . If Su Gui withdraws his troops, Wu Shengguo will naturally withdraw his troops. But I wonder what conditions Su Gui proposed?"

Qiang Gu said: "The battles have continued for years and the Baqiu Kingdom has spent a lot of money. Su Gui requires the Jiang family to recognize that the 26 cities in the three provinces occupied by the Baqiu Army will be ceded to the Baqiu Kingdom!"

Everyone's faces sank when they heard this, and Jiang Guohui said categorically: "Jiang is not talented, but he only wants to uphold the inheritance of his ancestors. How dare he cede land and divide the country, which is shameful to his ancestors? Although Wu Shengguo is weak now, it can cede land and seek peace. You can’t do anything! There’s no need to talk about this!”

Qiang Gu smiled and said: "His Majesty the Pope had known that His Majesty was strong and decisive and that Duan was unwilling to make peace with the land, so he advised Su Gui of Baqiu State not to be a lion and covet a large area of ​​land in Wucheng State. Su Gui finally agreed that as long as 10 cities from the wealthy provinces were lost as military expenses That’s all, I wonder what your Majesty wants?”

Jiang Guohui smiled coldly and said: "The ancestral foundation will not yield an inch of land, so there is no need to discuss this matter! If Su Gui is willing to negotiate peace, he will immediately stop his troops and return to the country, and let's give up!" All the clan leaders nodded.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Guohui was so tough. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you won't give up even one city or one place?!"

Jiang Guohui said flatly: "You won't give in even an inch. Su Gui is clearly using his power to blackmail me. How can he have the intention to make peace and give in!"

Qiang Ji said: "His Majesty the wise Pope has guessed that the Jiang family will never agree to cede land, and it is true! However, His Majesty the Pope has two suggestions for your Majesty's reference, and there is hope for peace!"

Jiang Guohui said: "Oh! His Majesty the Pope knows everything clearly and is really wise. I wonder if there is anything else that His Majesty the Pope can give you?"

Qiang Jiu said: "First, restore the original organization of the Holy Spirit Society in Wu Sheng Kingdom and return the property."

The reason why the Holy Spirit Alliance Army of Wu Sheng Kingdom and Baqiu Kingdom went to war was to liquidate the power of the Holy Spirit Society in Wu Sheng Kingdom. If they agreed to restore the legal organization of the Holy Spirit Society in Wu Sheng Kingdom, it would be equivalent to surrendering to the Holy Spirit Society and admitting defeat. Then once they return to the time before the war, more than ten years ago, The battle was in vain, and the Jiang family's prestige was wiped out, and they will never be able to raise their heads again. The seven major clans that are opposed to the Holy Spirit Society will inevitably face the fate of being liquidated by the Holy Spirit Society in the future.

Jiang Guohui looked around, and all the old patriarchs shook their heads, categorically disagreeing.
