and leave

Lu Yiqing and Wei Jingrong agreed on entering the city to negotiate, and there was no delay the next day. A group of three, plus two lieutenants from the Wei family army and a dozen or so guards left the barracks early in the morning and entered the city. Qindu.

Before leaving, Wei Jingrong couldn't help but look at Shen Wangshu twice more, and his heart was relieved when he saw it - Shen Wangshu's original appearance was reduced to six points because of the special makeup that was used to cover it up this morning. In this way, the brilliance of her body was covered up, making her look much more ordinary.At least mixed in the crowd, others will not notice her at first glance anyway.

"Qin Capital is someone else's territory after all, you all be careful." Wei Jingrong specifically warned.

Everyone at the scene agreed in unison, but it was obvious that this sentence was to remind Lu Yiqing and Shen Wangshu, because except for the two of them, everyone else had already entered Qindu with Wei Jingrong yesterday.Even if he didn't make meritorious deeds, at least he had a bottom line in his heart.

Both Lu Yiqing and Shen Wangshu followed suit, and Wei Jingrong didn't do anything after that, got on his horse and left.

The gates of the capital of Qin were still tightly closed, and even if the [-] troops outside the city did not attack the city, it still brought them tremendous pressure.Therefore, Wei Jingrong and his party were pulled up to the tower by the people of Qin with hanging baskets, and there were many soldiers on guard on the tower.Not to mention their mere dozen or so people, even if their numbers were increased by ten or a hundred times, it would be difficult to seize the city and open the gate in a short period of time.

After Lu Yiqing boarded the tower, he glanced around. Seeing that there were more than a dozen of them, and the other party was so vigilant, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and had a more intuitive understanding of the current situation between the two sides.

There is nothing to stop on the city tower, not to mention that officials from the state of Qin have long been waiting here.

As soon as Wei Jingrong stood still on the tower, Qin Guoli officials hurried up to greet him, and said with a smile: "The young general is here, and the prime minister has already held a banquet in the city, and the special officials are here to welcome you."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Jingrong's forehead couldn't help twitching, and he almost raised his head to look at the sky - he brought people out early in the morning, and it's only ten o'clock now, so he hasn't heard of any party hosting a banquet It was set in the morning—but both parties also understood that the banquet was just an excuse, so Wei Jingrong finally endured the toothache and said, "In this way, I will guide the way."

The ceremony officer naturally dared not say anything, and went forward with a smile to lead the way.

Wei Jingrong took two steps slower, lowered his voice and explained to Lu Yiqing: "Yesterday, Jun Qin received him in person, but probably because he didn't reach an agreement and didn't want to lower the price, Jun Qin didn't show up today. Looking at it like this, it's a shame. It seems that the peace talks have been handed over to the prime minister."

Lu Yiqing nodded knowingly, and after hearing Wei Jingrong briefly introduce the prime minister, the group of people also walked to the main street of Qindu Shi Shiran.The situation in the city looks good, although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an, but as the capital of a country, the capital of Qin obviously has its own characteristics.But now that the soldiers outside the city are approaching the city, it doesn't look very urgent in the city, and even some shops on the street are still open.

Seeing this situation, Lu Yiqing couldn't help but said: "This Qindu looks peaceful, it doesn't look like a city under siege at all."

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for the ceremony officer leading the way to hear, and the other party did not shy away from hearing what she said, and turned around with a smile: "Your Majesty said yes. Yesterday when the major general entered the city, everyone knew that After the peace talks, naturally you can rest assured."

Is Qin's heart so big?Of course not, it's just that they also understand that peace talks are imperative.

In a word, it attracted different thoughts, and the rest of the journey was very quiet, and no one spoke indiscriminately.But Lu Yiqing is probably the only one who has the leisure to look around, or even think about taking time to wander around the city.

The capital of Qin is quite big, and it didn't take long for everyone to ride on the horses prepared by the prime minister's mansion, and ran for a quarter of an hour before arriving at the place where the banquet was held—naturally, the peace talks cannot be held in the prime minister's mansion, even if it was a banquet In the end, it was arranged in the Sifang Pavilion of Qin State.When Wei Jingrong and his party arrived at the Sifang Pavilion, there were not only Prime Minister Qin in the pavilion, but also many officials from the Qin State.

Qin Xiang said that it was a banquet, and the layout of the scene was naturally according to the banquet.There were two rows of low tables in the huge room, just enough for the two parties to sit facing each other, and the main seat on the top was vacant, obviously reserved for Qin Jun who had never appeared in front of him.

Wei Jingrong was naturally welcomed to the upper position, and sat opposite Qin Xiang, while the rest were more casual.

Lu Yiqing and Shen Wangshu sat together, listening to Wei Jingrong and Qin Xiang go from greeting to serious business, during which time they didn't intend to interrupt at all, and just looked at the person opposite them calmly.Then looking at it, her eyes fell on a young man at the last seat opposite.It stands to reason that the number of seats on such an occasion more or less represents status, but even though this young man sits at the bottom, his demeanor is not comparable to that of the people in front.

Perhaps Lu Yiqing's gaze had been on the young man for a while, and the young man also raised his eyes and looked over.His pair of black eyes were exceptionally deep, which made people palpitate inexplicably, but immediately the young man smiled, and the deep palpitation dissipated in an instant, like an illusion.

Lu Yiqing withdrew his gaze and frowned subconsciously.

Others may not have noticed the change in her expression, but Shen Wangshu, who was sitting beside her, had been paying attention to her all the time, so he immediately asked, "Ah Qing, what's the matter, why are you frowning?"

Hearing this, Lu Yiqing wanted to look at the young man again, but held back: "It's nothing, but that man looks familiar."

****************************************************************************

Qin Xiang's so-called banquet was naturally not a real banquet, and no one would host a banquet early in the morning to invite people to drink and eat meat, so the banquet ended up with some melon and fruit snacks, which in Lu Yiqing's view was more like a tea party.

There will probably still be a banquet, but it will be at noon or evening.

At the tea party, the topic of Wei Jingrong and Qin Xiang undoubtedly revolved around the peace talks.Both sides had no intention of fighting, what they were talking about was just an interest - Wei Jingrong wanted to get more, but the people of Qin didn't want to give so much, so they started arguing.

Gossiping is the most time-consuming thing. From the beginning, Lu Yiqing sat upright, and then propped his chin to watch the two sides gossip.Wei Jingrong was born as a military general, so there is no doubt that he can't play tricks on the other party. Sometimes when he is blocked and can't speak, he will glance at Lu Yiqing, obviously wanting her to help.But Lu Yiqing had just arrived and didn't want to join the battle right away, so he still held his chin and didn't open his mouth, as if he was just here to watch the excitement.

Wei Jingrong was very angry, and felt that this was completely different from what was agreed.However, there was nothing Lu Yiqing could do if he didn't open his mouth. The only thing he could do was to clench his teeth, and Ren Qin and others would wear out their mouths, and they would never let go of their promises.

After being so entangled, it gradually reached noon, and I was tired of talking, and my ears could hear cocoons.

Finally, a lieutenant general of Wei Jiajun rubbed his stomach and said, "Otherwise, let's stop here first. It's lunch time, why don't we have a meal first and continue in the afternoon?"

Speaking of this, the fart, the mouth was worn out all morning, and nothing was discussed.

Everyone knows that negotiations do not happen overnight, but this kind of talk without progress is quite powerless.

Qin Xiang drank the tea in the teacup in front of him in one gulp, then waved to the attendants waiting outside, and ordered: "Go to the dining room and have a look, is lunch ready?"

The attendants went, and the two sides ceased fighting.Wei Jingrong looked at the Qin people across the way, then at Lu Yiqing, and finally beckoned everyone to come over for a small meeting.After the members of the Wei family army surrounded the city and prepared to deceive others, Wei Jingrong glared at Lu Yiqing viciously, and accused him in a low voice: "Xiao Lu, I asked you to help, not to Come to see the show!"

Hearing the words, Lu Yiqing didn't think he was disobedient, nodded calmly, and said, "I know, I'm here to help."

She took it for granted, but everyone who heard this, except Shen Wangshu, cast strange eyes on her.That look seemed to be saying: You man, it's fine if you don't help, how can you open your eyes and talk nonsense? !

Wei Jingrong was almost laughed out of anger. In the end, it was the three years of friendship that made him suppress his emotions, and he said angrily: "Okay, then tell me how you can help? Or stop pretending to be deaf and dumb in the future, at least I will Say something for me."

In the end, Wei Jingrong was full of resentment, he really didn't like dealing with this kind of old fritters in the court.

Lu Yiqing was straightforward. Although she didn't say anything to help, she didn't get nothing out of listening all morning.Immediately, she listed her own conditions based on the previous agreement between the two parties, and asked Wei Jingrong to continue talking with the other party with this in the afternoon-the conditions she gave had no upper limit and no lower limit, and it was obvious that Wei Jingrong would bite him to death. Let go, and thus further test the opponent's bottom line.

Wei Jingrong had no objection to this, the previous condition was his exorbitant asking price.At this time, I only thought about the conditions offered by Lu Yiqing, and felt that the Wei family army would definitely not lose, so I readily agreed.

After the basic tone of the peace talks in the afternoon was set, Lu Yiqing persuaded again: "Today's peace talks will definitely fail, and this is not something that can be understood in a day or two. Please be patient, Major General."

Wei Jingrong nodded, thinking about it in his mind, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I agreed to your conditions yesterday..."

He was referring to the fact that Lu Yiqing wanted to seek medical treatment from the High Priest of the State of Qin, but it was difficult to elaborate on it in front of other people.Lu Yiqing naturally understood, but waved his hands and said, "It's still early, not the time to talk about this."

Wei Jingrong was a little surprised when he heard the words, because when the two mentioned the high priest last night, Lu Yiqing clearly did not refuse to include it in the terms of the peace talks.And it doesn't make any difference whether it's said earlier or later. The benefits that should be given up should be given up early, which can also avoid a lot of wrangling.

Then why did Lu Yiqing suddenly change his mind?

Wei Jingrong didn't want to understand for a while, and he didn't want to ask more questions. Seeing that Lu Yiqing's attitude was firm, he had no choice but to agree.

Not long after, the small meeting here was over, and the dining room in the Sifang Pavilion over there also delivered the prepared lunch.It's no surprise that they are all meat dishes, and they are all large pieces of meat dishes, which are not as delicate as Liang Guo's dishes.

Lu Yiqing loves to eat meat, so he didn't think anything of it, he just turned his head and whispered to Shen Wangshu: "If you are not used to these dishes, eat less."

Where did Shen Wangshu use her to remind him, he didn't eat a single meal, and only some melons and fruits were enough to fill her stomach, but at this moment, she reminded Lu Yiqing to look at the jug on the table.

The wine jugs used by the Qin State were much larger than those used by the Liang State. The silver wine jugs with big belly and thin neck could hold more than three jugs of wine.

Lu Yiqing took it over, shook it, and smelled it... Oh, it's all spirits steamed from her house!
