Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

But Lu Zhanxing looked solemn: "The Crown Prince of Dayan is really going too far. I will go find my brother now."

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Before Chen Rui could even smile as if he had accomplished his mission, a large number of secret guards suddenly appeared around him and captured him without saying a word.

Then they removed his jaw to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide, and then removed his limbs. He looked at Lu Zhanxing who appeared again in horror, with disbelief in his eyes.

Lu Zhanxing played with his folding fan, squatted down and said sarcastically: "You are a Daqian after all, how dare you collude with the enemy country? It seems that the Third Prince of Dayan has done you a great favor."

Chen Rui glared at Lu Zhanxing, his eyes seemed to say, it was obviously you who were on good terms with the third prince.

In order to make Lu Zhanxing believe, he did not hesitate to use himself as a hidden chess piece.

However, the result was not what they imagined.

"Sima sir, traitors must be executed. You chose the path you want, so you must bear the consequences." Lu Zhanxing snorted coldly, stood up and said, "Take him away and interrogate him strictly to see if there are any other spies."

The secret guard responded and took Chen Rui away.

Lu Zhanxing immediately went back and informed his brother of the news. No one had ever thought that Chen Rui was actually a spy.

And it lay dormant for so long.

When Lu Zhanyan replaced officials, he did not replace Chen Rui because Chen Rui was very aware of the current situation, had evidence of corruption, and was very obedient to Lu Zhanyan's arrangements, so Lu Zhanyan kept him. Unexpectedly, he almost ended up in trouble.

It seems that there is no way to be complacent, and Lu Zhanyan once again conducted a thorough investigation of all officials in office in Yanzhou.

The negotiation team and Dayan agreed on the date for the negotiations, and the location was set at Andingmen, the border between the two sides.

The six negotiators who came from Kyoto have been "persuaded" by Lu Zhanyan. Although they were all scared, their lives are in the hands of others. They have no choice but to agree and follow the arrangements.

In addition, they were very confident in this negotiation because they knew that Dayan could not fight at all.

You even want their Daqian territory?

Don't even think about it.

Therefore, during the negotiation, the six negotiators cursed the Dayan negotiators without mercy. Their words were like a string of cannonballs, mercilessly hitting the other side: "You shameless people!", "You are a despicable villain who doesn't keep your word!", "You are a shameless person who breaks your promise!".

.....All kinds of unbearable insults were heard, as if they wanted to vent all the anger and dissatisfaction.

After cursing, he overturned the table neatly, giving people the impression that, if you have the guts, come and fight me, who’s afraid of who?

This fierce operation shocked the officials of Dayan. Wasn't this different from what they had imagined?

How can they be so tough? Why are they so tough?

The chief negotiator of Dayan was scolded so much that his face turned blue. He angrily said, "Prince consort, what do you mean by this? Don't you see what situation Daqian is facing now? You dare to provoke Dayan. We are asking you to give us a few cities because of the marriage between our two countries. Otherwise, our army would have occupied Yanzhou long ago. Why would we need to negotiate with you peacefully?"

"I bother!!"

An official from Daqian suddenly stood up, a flash of anger in his eyes, and then he spat directly on the face of the official from Dayan who had spoken so arrogantly.

This sudden move shocked everyone, and the Dayan officials had no time to react.

"Who do you think you are? You still want to attack our Daqian? Do you have the ability? Do you dare? It's ridiculous that a bunch of shameless people dare to provoke us Daqian!" As he spoke, he pointed at the other party with endless contempt in his eyes.

"Humph! I now advise you ignorant fellows to immediately cede several cities to us Daqian as an apology, otherwise this matter will never be let go!"

His tone was firm and resolute, as if there could be no doubt about it.

Another Daqian official at the side also followed suit and said, "That's right. If you want to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries, you must immediately hand over five... no, at least ten cities, otherwise we will never accept any apology from you!"

His voice was also full of majesty and determination, which made people look at him sideways.

Faced with the tough attitude of the Daqian officials, the Dayan officials were so angry that their faces turned blue and they trembled all over. They stared at the Daqian officials in front of them with wide eyes, as if they wanted to eat them alive.

However, facing the questioning of Daqian officials, they could not refute a word and could only grit their teeth and point at the other party: "You, you... are so presumptuous..."

Who gave him the courage to threaten Dayan to cede the city?

Both parties are negotiators, so they can only use words instead of hands, so they just curse at each other.

Three of them on Daqian's side were censors, who were unmatched in eloquence. They made the negotiators from Dayan speechless, and one even fainted from anger. This shows how powerful these censors were.

The negotiations between the two sides ended because an official from the other side fainted.

As soon as he left the tent, Daqian's negotiator laughed heartily with pride.

"Master Guo, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent today. I admire you!"

"Oh, Lord Li, you are too kind. The spit you just spit out was a stroke of genius. I really admire you!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

I thought they were the ones who were being humble in this negotiation, but who knew it would be so satisfying. It's really gratifying!

But when she thought about the Duke's rebellion, her face fell again, and she looked like she was crying...

It can be said that excessive joy leads to sorrow!

When Dayan learned that Daqian not only refused to cede territory but also asked them to cede territory as an apology, the prince of Dayan was furious. But when he thought of the anonymous letter, he secretly checked his brother's power, but he didn't expect it to be true.

This forced him to start guarding against his third brother, and as the army's food supplies were destroyed, it was of no avail even if he was furious.

He did not dare to tell his father about this, otherwise his father would think he was incompetent.

It is not a good idea to fight this battle, nor is it a good idea not to fight it.

Finally, he made up his mind and thought, since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. He directly gave an order, letting the third prince of Dayan command this battle.

The third prince of Dayan was quite satisfied at first to be able to command such a large army. However, when he arrived at the garrison, he found that there was no food or fodder. How could he fight a war?

No wonder the Crown Prince asked me to command the battle. This is clearly a trap for me!

The negotiations between the two sides failed. The Third Prince of Dayan couldn't really send people to fight. The supply of food and fodder would be insufficient, and the army would starve to death even without fighting.

Yan Xiao was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and finally sent someone to report that the food and supplies had been destroyed by the enemy and support was needed.

The Crown Prince of Dayan accused Yan Xiao in the Emperor's ear of betraying his trust by failing to protect the food supplies, allowing the enemy to succeed and causing the plan to fail to be implemented. Yan Xiao was simply a sinner for all eternity.

The Emperor of Yan was furious and accused Yan Xiao of incompetence. In the end, he had no choice but to shamelessly send negotiators to negotiate peace. He shamelessly said that it was the Third Prince of Yan who acted on his own initiative and that he was unconscious and had no idea about the matter, and that it was all a misunderstanding.

Lu Zhanxing and others were really shocked by Emperor Yan's shamelessness.

But how could Lu Zhanyan indulge them?

Can they fight this war if they want to, or not fight it if they don't want to?
