Ning Chen should get out of here quickly. If he doesn't, His Majesty might give him thirty strokes of the cane. This His Majesty is really stupid... When he said that Yudie should not be let down, His Majesty should have said, I allow you to take a concubine, pardon Yudie's slavery, and give her freedom. You can't chat! Ning Chen shook his head, went outside the palace, and rode Diao Chan straight to the Jiaofang Division. The next day, morning! Ning Chen came to the Siyi Pavilion and met Li Hanru and Shen Min. After closing the door, Ning Chen got straight to the point, "My Lords, how is the money being collected?" Li Hanru said, "Most of it was collected yesterday. There is still a small part. I will go again with Lord Shen today. It should be fine." "These spineless people are so generous when it comes to ceding land and paying compensation!" "Don't these fat-headed idiots know that true peace is built on military force?"
"Alliances made for friendship will never end well. Alliances made for truce will not stop war. Alliances made for tyranny can gain land nearby and power far away... How long can ceding land and paying compensation bring peace?" "So, this battle must be fought, and it must be fought beautifully. We must hurt the Kingdom of Nanyue... This is the strategy for long-term peace." Although Li Hanru and Shen Min are civil servants, they still have the pride of literati. They are the pro-war faction. Shen Min said in a deep voice: "Ning Yinyi is a great talent, what he said is even more impressive, Shen admires him!" Li Hanru shook his head and sighed, saying: "That group of people have been stable for too long, and have long lost their blood and backbone, forgetting that Daxuan is also building a world in a hurry." "Having such a talent as Ning Yinyi, such a passionate young man, is a blessing for my Daxuan." Ning Chen smiled, and then said: "Thank you for your hard work, both adults, please collect the remaining silver before tonight." Shen Min was stunned, "So anxious?" Ning Chen nodded, "As long as the South Vietnamese delegation is still there, the news may leak out." "Okay!" Li Hanru and Shen Min nodded. Ning Chen did not stay for long, turned around and left! In the evening, he came again. But only Shen Min was there. Shen Min told Ning Chen that he and Li Hanru acted separately, and the part he was responsible for had been collected, and Li Hanru had not returned yet. Ning Chen sat and waited for a while, drank a few cups of tea, and Li Hanru came back. Ning Chen smiled and asked, "Master Li, you've worked hard. How's it going?" Li Hanru smiled and said, "I'm glad I did it!" Ning Chen smiled and said, "So, the one million taels of silver have been collected?"
"We just said that the South Vietnamese delegation couldn't wait any longer, and those people handed over the silver very happily." Ning Chen sneered, "These spineless people." "In that case, the two masters can quietly hand over the silver to His Majesty tomorrow." With this silver, after defeating South Vietnam next year, his military merits will be enough to make him a marquis. These damn censors, if it weren't for their nonsense, I would have been a marquis by now. Concentrating his thoughts, Ning Chen muttered, "It's time to send them away!" Li Hanru and Shen Min looked at each other, feeling awe-inspiring. Ning Chen left, and soon he came back with a group of city defense soldiers. Yin Yi had no right to mobilize the city defense soldiers, but when they heard that it was Ning Chen and Ning Yin Yi, the city defense soldiers followed without thinking much. ...... In the room, Kang Luo and the Nanyue State Master sat opposite each other. Nanyue State Master asked: "Fourth Prince, how have you considered that matter?" Kang Luo pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "I think... we can trade!" "I sent someone to inquire about it, and Ning Chen's family members are indeed imprisoned in the Supervisory Department Prison." Nanyue State Master said: "Why were they imprisoned in the Supervisory Department Prison?" Kang Luo shook his head, "This is the Great Xuan Dynasty, and our people are being watched too closely... I got this news from a soldier of the Great Xuan City Defense Force, and there is no way and no time to understand too many details." In fact, what they found out was what Ning Chen wanted them to know. "No matter what, we must get the defense map of the Great Xuan in the southern border... As long as we have the defense map, the defense of the southern border of the Great Xuan will be useless to us. At that time, let alone one million taels, the Great Xuan will have to give us as much as we want." The State Master nodded slightly. Kang Luo said, "I'll ask Ning Yinyi out for a walk tomorrow. I've been here for a few days, but I haven't really visited the imperial city of Daxuan. I heard that the imperial city of Daxuan is very prosperous and lively." "Master, come with me? It just so happens that we can find out more about Ning Yinyi... Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we cooperate happily." But Ning Chen would not give them too much time to find out more about himself. The Master of Nanyue was about to nod when there was a knock on the door. Kang Luo walked over and opened the door. "Ning Yinyi? Please come in!" Just now I said I'd like to meet Ning Chen tomorrow? I didn't expect Ning Chen to come right now. Ning Chen walked in. Kang Luo looked at Ning Chen and smiled, "Ning Yinyi came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"
"I was planning to find you tomorrow and let you take us to visit the Great Xuan Imperial City. I haven't been out for so many days, I'm really bored, I wonder if Ning Yinyi has time?" Ning Chen smiled slightly, "I have time, but you don't." Kang Luo was surprised, "What does Ning Yinyi mean by this?" Ning Chen said word by word, "The peace talks failed, His Majesty has ordered me to take you home... I'll give you a cup of tea, hurry up and pack up, I'll take you out of the city." Kang Luo and the Nanyue State Master were stunned, looking confused. Kang Luo frowned, "Ning Yinyi, what do you mean?" Ning Chen said calmly: "What I mean is very simple. Daxuan won't give up an inch of land...So, if the negotiation fails, you will go back and forth from where you came." Kang Luo and the Nanyue Imperial Master looked at each other and their expressions changed drastically. They didn't expect that Ning Chen was here to chase people away? Their plan hasn't been implemented yet, nothing has been done yet, and they absolutely can't leave. Kang Luo said angrily: "Ning Yinyi, it's late at night, you're driving us away now... Isn't this going too far?" Ning Chen said cynically: "Compared to you who want me to split the territory of Daxuan, I am already very polite in doing so." "Ning Yinyi, there are no outsiders here, so there's no need to act, right?" Ning Chen shrugged helplessly, "You guys are too stubborn, do you want to make a deal?" "His Majesty has decreed that you can leave Daxuan...you only have time for a cup of tea." The Nanyue Imperial Master was a little angry, "Ning Chen, you always say that Daxuan is a country of etiquette. Is this your attitude towards guests?" Ning Chen looked at him, "Should I say that the Imperial Master is naive or stupid? You seem to have forgotten that you are not guests, but enemies of my Daxuan... I would like to keep you for a few more days, but Your Majesty does not want to Yes." Kang Luo stared at Ning Chen, "It seems that Ning Yinyi has to drive us away?" Ning Chen looked helpless, "It's not me, it's His Majesty. Your demands are too much and have completely angered him...pack your things quickly." The Nanyue Imperial Master looked stunned, "We just left like this? What about the deal?" Ning Chen frowned, "We'll discuss the deal later. It's been so many days and you haven't come up with a result yet... Since you can't make up your mind, let's work together again if we have the opportunity in the future." Kang Luo and the Imperial Master were a little anxious. The main purpose of their visit this time was the defense map of the southern border... Now that they have not obtained the defense map, there is no chance of ceding land and paying compensation. Isn't it in vain? Ning Chen said: "Master Li and Master Shen are still waiting outside. I can't stay too long... You two should pack up quickly and don't embarrass me." Kang Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Ning Yinyi, can you take the defense map with you?" Ning Chen nodded. "Okay, let's trade now." Ning Chen glanced at the door, then turned back and said, "Hurry up, don't waste time!"
Kang Luo took a deep breath and said seriously: "Ning Yinyi, Kang is willing to believe in you, and I hope you will not disappoint Kang." He didn't believe in Ning Chen, he believed that a person who was about to be exterminated would definitely not be loyal to his enemy. Moreover, the time was too hasty, leaving him no time to think carefully. Ning Chen also looked serious, "Ning only wants power and glory. If this cooperation is pleasant, then I believe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future... Ning will not be so stupid as to cut off his wealth and only do one thing." Buy and sell.” Kang Luo nodded, "Ning Yinyi is a smart man. I believe you will not do such a stupid thing... Imperial Master, give the money to Ning Yinyi." The Imperial Master nodded, walked into the inner room, and came out after a while holding a box. Ning Chen also took out the military defense map of the southern border. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Ning Chen opened the box and took a look. It was full of banknotes. He checked and made sure the banknotes were OK, then stuffed all the banknotes into his arms and threw the box aside. Kang Luo opened the defense map and took a look. It was indeed a map of the southern border. He noticed Ning Chen's movements and said with a smile, "Ning Yinyi doesn't want to count?" "I believe you, unless you don't want to cooperate with me anymore." Kang Luo showed the defense map in his hand and said, "Isn't this a fake?" It seems like a joke, but it's actually a test. Ning Chen sneered and said, "Ning never cheats when it comes to making money." Kang Luo smiled and said: "Just kidding, don't mind...Ning Yinyi, happy cooperation!" “Happy to work with!” ... After a cup of tea. The South Vietnamese delegation left the city under the escort of Ning Chen and the city defense army. "Fourth Prince, walk slowly on the road. Be careful because it's dark and the road is slippery. If you kick your foot in the air, you'll lose your front teeth." Ning Chen said with a smile. Kang Luo stared at Ning Chen for a long time and said, "Ning Yinyi, Kang will definitely wash away today's shame on the battlefield next year." Ning Chen shrugged, "Okay, if you have the ability." Kang Luo said no more, turned around and strode forward, "Ning Yinyi, see you on the battlefield!" Ning Chen smiled and said, "See you there or not!" The Nanyue Imperial Master stared at Ning Chen with sinister eyes and resentment on his face. Ning Chen looked at him expressionlessly, "Do you have anything to say? I advise you to think carefully before speaking... If you anger me, the Imperial Master may not be able to return to South Vietnam alive."
The Nanyue Imperial Master's expression changed, he gritted his back molars, said nothing, turned around and left dejectedly. Ning Chen was serious, but Kang Luo and the Nanyue Imperial Master thought it was an act, so they cooperated very well. Watching them go away, Ning Chen sneered disdainfully! Li Hanru shook his head and said, "This Nanyue Imperial Master probably hates you to death?" Ning Chen sarcastically said: "He's just a rat. Whenever he throws a stone at me, I'll give him a high look... The really scary thing is the fourth prince of South Vietnam." He looked at Kang Luo's back and whispered: "I really want to keep this fourth prince of South Vietnam in Daxuan forever." Li Hanru and Shen Min's expressions changed suddenly. "Ning Yinyi, you must not have such thoughts... If you kill the fourth prince of South Vietnam, I am afraid that South Vietnam will have a large army to invade the country before the next year, but we are not ready yet." As soon as Li Hanru finished speaking, Shen Min followed up and said: "If the envoys are killed without killing the envoys during the war between the two countries, I, General Daxuan, will lose his face and will be ridiculed by other countries... Who will dare to send envoys in the future? Come with me, Daxuan?" Ning Chen looked at them and laughed, "I was just joking to express my regrets. I didn't really want to kill him." Li Hanru and Shen Min looked at each other and asked, "Why don't you dare to do this?" The two of them must keep an eye on Ning Chen to prevent him from actually killing the fourth prince of South Vietnam. "Okay, let's go back!" After Ning Chen finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and walked towards the city. After entering the city, Ning Chen asked the city defense troops to go back first, and then said to Li Hanru and Shen Min: "You two adults have worked hard these days. It's late at night. Go back and rest early." Li Hanru said with a serious face: "Before dawn, we will go wherever Ning Yinyi goes?" Shen Min nodded in agreement. Ning Chen looked at them confused, "What do you two adults mean by this?" Shen Min said: "We are afraid that you will secretly lead people to kill all the South Vietnamese envoys." Ning Chen's lips twitched, "You two adults are worrying too much, it won't happen." "Ning Yinyi should come back to Siyi Pavilion with us tonight, right?" Ning Chen looked at them sideways, "Don't you have any wives? Wouldn't it be nice to sleep with a woman on this long cold night? I'm going to the Jiaofang Department to find my acquaintance." Shen Min said seriously: "Anyway, before dawn, we can go wherever you go?" Ning Chen was completely speechless, "Can there be some trust between people?" Li Hanru said: "Ning Yinyi Haihan." Ning Chen was helpless, he couldn't beat these two people, right? "Okay! I'll go back to Seikan with you."
