When he came to the camp, Shen Liyang saw the person who came, but it was a confidant minister next to Cui Guangsheng, named Xu Guantong.This person is not young, he is an old pedant, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking person. No wonder the person who reported the letter just now was so anxious.

It's just that he doesn't stay in Xiangcheng, what is he doing here?

Xu Guantong saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "I have met His Royal Highness Ye Wang."

"Master Xu, you don't need to be too polite." Shen Liyang led him to the meeting hall to sit down, ordered someone to serve tea, and asked with a smile: "Master Xu has come from a long way, but what is the king's will?"

"That's right." Xu Guantong stroked his goatee, and said slowly, "I have come this time, following the order of the Heavenly King, and it is precisely for the purpose of peace talks with the imperial court."

"Peace talks?" Shen Liyang's face changed slightly when he heard the words, didn't he already said last time that he would not consider it, why did he bring up the old matter again?

Xu Guantong saw her displeasure, shook his head, and said: "The peace negotiator sent by the imperial court this time is the son of the Duke's Mansion, and he is quite sincere, so the king of heaven means that he will refuse after talking twice. It's not good to drop it, at worst, just find a reason to prevaricate after talking about it."

Shen Liyang raised his eyebrows, "Young Master of the Duke's Mansion? That sick child? The imperial court is really relieved of us, and sent him here."

There are only two sons in the Duke's Mansion, and among them Yu Xiaoyuan leads the Longxiang Army at the border, so it can only be his older brother, who is said to be the frail and sick Yu Qing.

Unlike Yu Xiao's biological mother, whose status was low, Yu Qing's mother was Emperor Shao's youngest sister, so his status was not much different from that of a prince.

"Tell me, what do I need to do?"

"Ye Wang is still reasonable, and you are not more violent than Wei Wang. Last time I went to Wei Wang to mention this matter, he was almost slashed by him." Xu Guantong touched his neck with lingering fear, as if the frightening sword had returned Same as above.

"Now the two parties have reached a consensus on a temporary truce. The time and place for the peace talks is set to be two days later, at Shili Pavilion outside the customs. Each party can bring 5000 people to the meeting just in case."

"Two days later? Why is it in such a hurry?"

Xu Guantong still looked at himself at ease, coughed a few times, and said: "You know, the remnants of the rebels are still making trouble everywhere, and we don't know whether people are enemies or friends when we see people along the way, so it will inevitably take some time. But we If we leave now, it's still too late."

Shen Liyang rubbed the center of her brows, seeing that it was really a waste of time.

It's a pity that the kiss that was so hard to get has not been fulfilled... Thinking of Gu Liushang, she couldn't help showing a gentle look.That's all, it's the same when you get back the principal with interest when you come back.

☆, the truth

When the incident happened suddenly, Shen Liyang didn't go back to say goodbye to Gu Liushang, but sent someone to report the letter, fearing that she might be worried, so she didn't go into details, only said that there were some urgent military affairs that needed to be dealt with, but she would be back within ten days.

Shen Liyang is no stranger to the journey out of the customs. She is suspicious by nature, and she is even more hands-on when it comes to deploying defenses. Where there are mountains, rivers, and fortresses, she knows everything by heart, so the arrival time is shorter than originally planned. It was more than an hour faster.

The strange thing is that the troops of the imperial court were stationed there early, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.I thought that with Yu Qing's status, he should be defiant and let them wait a while.

Before he got close, he saw a young man in green shirt standing in the quaint pavilion from a distance.He was born with a dignified appearance, and there was a natural nobility revealed between his brows, and he presumably was that Yu Qing.

Shen Liyang was walking when he heard two soldiers whispering in the queue behind him.

"Why do you think people's lives are so good? You don't have to do anything to enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth. It's not like us, who have been born and died so many times and are just soldiers leading horses."

"Yes. I heard that this kid has a lot of good fortune. How many high officials in Beijing want to marry their daughters to him, even if they can only be concubines, they will smash their heads."

"Why can I only be a concubine? Did he marry a wife at such a young age?"

"That's not true, it's just that he has a fiancée who made a promise at a young age."

"Which lady is so honorable?"

"Isn't that Gu thief's daughter. Tsk tsk, I heard that she is a beauty... I just don't know what this beauty tastes like."

"That must be very ecstasy, hehe, don't you know when we go to Beijing someday?"

After finishing speaking, both of them laughed narrowly.

After hearing this, Shen Liyang felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Although the disaster is not as bad as the family, there are no eggs under the overturned nest.Under the banner of justice, ugliness is not uncommon.Is the so-called justice of opposition for the sake of opposition really perfect justice?

The soldiers of the rebel army were also stationed opposite the imperial army, and they all looked at each other curiously.They belonged to the same country and had similar dresses and faces, but because they chose different camps, they had to fight each other.

Today's weather is fine, and when the two envoys meet, the atmosphere is friendly and harmonious.

Everything about the details of the peace talks was dealt with by Xu Guantong, and Shen Liyang was actually just here to support the scene - after all, the people on the opposite side were the royal family and nobles, if only ordinary civil servants were sent to approach, it would make people laugh at the rebels for being rude and ignorant of etiquette.

Xu Guantong was eloquent, and Yu Qing was also knowledgeable and eloquent. The two talked from the dawn to the sunset, and finally drew up a preliminary plan for peace talks.Of course, it is not easy to make numbers like this, and they have to go back and report the situation to their superiors before making a judgment.

Just as he was about to say goodbye politely and parted ways, Yu Qing suddenly took a step forward and said to Shen Liyang: "General Shen, can I take a step to speak?"

Although Shen Liyang was puzzled, she did not refuse.

So the two walked to an empty corner of the pavilion, and saw Yu Qing take out a scroll from his arms, and said politely: "This is not about business, but I have a merciless request. To be honest, A few days ago, my fiancée disappeared in this area, and there was chaos everywhere. I am really worried. If it is convenient, can I ask General Shen to help me find one or two?"

Shen Liyang almost laughed when he heard it.It seems that this noble son is really like a bird in a cage. He doesn't know the dangers of the world, but he is so ridiculous that he asks the rebels to help him find the whereabouts of his fiancée. He really doesn't know whether he wants to save her or harm her.

Yu Qing also looked at Shen Liyang's upright face with clear eyebrows, and felt that she was not a vicious person, but also a woman, so she said this.Seeing that she was silent at this time, he thought it was because she was not paid.

"As long as people can be returned to me safe and sound, whether it's gold, silver, treasures, horses, cloth, or even land and cities, they will all be on me."

Shen Liyang looked at him with a look of eagerness and a little pride, and felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.For ordinary people, the conditions he mentioned would require countless efforts in exchange for them, but for such a privileged nobleman, they were just means to please the beauties.

Forget it, it doesn't do me any harm, does it?

Shen Liyang calmed down, put all those distracting thoughts behind her, and said lightly: "Even if I can help you, there are so many people in this world, there is no proof, where do we start?"

"It's not difficult." Seeing her agreeing, Yu Qing was full of joy, and raised the scroll in his hand, "I have already drawn her appearance into a picture, and I just need to follow this picture to find it."

A young master brought up by a well-known high-ranking family will naturally not be bad at painting, so this is indeed a feasible method.

Shen Liyang nodded, and Yu Qing slowly unfolded the painting scroll on the railing on one side.

The person in the painting has eyebrows like distant mountain daisy, and face like jade.The pupils are water-cut, the nose is straight, and the lips are smiling like a spring breeze.

The painting is extremely meticulous, even a small mole on the right cheek is not spared.She seems to be a rare beauty, but...

As if struck by lightning, Shen Liyang took a few steps back, pointing at the person on the painting in disbelief, with a trembling voice: "You just said... who is this?"
