Tuoba Xuan was angry and looked increasingly displeased with Zhou Chen.

This man, who has been playing tricks on his envoys for so many days, is very scheming and good at acting, which makes Tuoba Xuan very unhappy.

Zhou Chen was calm. He spread out yesterday's peace treaty book and placed it in front of Tuoba Xuan. He said calmly: "We will tolerate the money and food, but it is absolutely impossible to marry the princess. Your Majesty, I have just ascended the throne. I only have two sons and no princesses. There are several princesses in the previous dynasty, but they are too young to be married, so it is absolutely impossible to send them to the second prince for marriage. This matter needs to be renegotiated. "

Tuoba Xuan sneered in his heart. He clearly had no sincerity in the peace talks, but he still made it look like it was real. Who are you trying to fool here?

Tuoba Xuan looked at the peace treaty book, then raised his head to look at Zhou Chen: "How can such a trivial matter as the princess not yet reaching the age of marriage be worth discussing? According to the custom, a sedan chair was carried to the royal court to repair the Qin and Jin first, and then wait for The marriage ceremony will be held when the princess reaches age."

"Master Zhou, doesn't this solve the problem?"

Zhou Chen looked at Tuoba Xuan coldly and said slowly: "Your Majesty has said that he cannot bear the princess to leave her relatives and go to the royal court to suffer at a young age, so we cannot comply with His Highness the Prince's request."

Tuoba Xuan's expression turned cold: "The peace between the two countries has been a tradition since ancient times. How come it has changed with His Majesty today? Is it possible that His Majesty has no sincerity in wanting peace talks at all? Is he trying to test our bottom line by making things difficult for us? ?”

Tuoba Xuan's words were a bit rushed, causing the expressions of the other members of the envoy group to change slightly, and they all watched Zhou Chen's reaction nervously.

Zhou Chen squinted his eyes and saw that Tuoba Xuan had indeed guessed the purpose of the imperial court as His Majesty expected. He might have reacted like this because he was angry, or he was testing their bottom line.

Zhou Chen remained unmoved and said in a deep voice: "Our court is sincerely negotiating peace with you. We will give you money and food. Isn't this sincerity enough? My Majesty doesn't have many brothers, and he doesn't want to leave his sister to endure hardships away from the capital. It’s human nature. Although marriage is a tradition from ancient times, the rules are set by people, and it depends on the situation, right?”

Tuoba Xuan looked at Zhou Chen across from him, feeling increasingly disgusted with this man. This guy's hands are as slippery as a fish, and his speech is even more impeccable.

Tuoba Xuan narrowed his eyes, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered something, and said slowly: "No matter what, the tradition cannot be broken. Since His Majesty is unwilling to leave the princess to marry far away, it is not that there is no other way."

Zhou Chen squinted his eyes and his face turned cold.

Tuoba Xuan sat up straight, looked at Zhou Chen, and said slowly: "On the day I entered the city, I saw a girl who was astonished and I will never forget it. As long as your Majesty the Emperor can find this girl, If you come out and let me take you back to the royal court, then the two countries will be considered to be on good terms with Qin and Jin. When I give birth to a child with Han ancestry with that girl in the future, won’t the relationship between the two countries be further improved? "

Zhou Chen looked straight at Tuoba Xuan and said nothing for a while.

Tuoba Xuan came a little closer and looked at Zhou Chen, and said word for word: "As long as your Majesty is willing to give me the girl, we can renegotiate the terms we discussed before, and the money and food can be reduced as appropriate. , I just want people.”

Before Zhou Chen could say anything, the envoys next to him couldn't sit still, stood up and shouted: "Your Highness, no!"
