C105 He Is a Child Who Doesn't Know Anything!

Gu Jun’an didn’t respond to him. He closed the door and took a sip of tea. He continued, “Does the Seventh Prince think Canglan is a good ally? Is the letter written by the Emperor of Canglan reliable? I remember that the Empress Dowager of Canglan has been hesitating whether to fight or not.”

“Do you think that I, with my power, can do anything to the Dongchong Country?” Gu Jun’an didn’t respond to Canglan’s words. He probably didn’t know that the letter of peace couldn’t reach Canglan Imperial City.

Gu Jun’an closed the door and laughed, “Your Highness, I believe in your power. However, in the past few years, we have been fighting in the south and the north. We have lost a lot of soldiers and food. Plus, we don’t have much in our treasury. I heard that the Chang’an Palace of the West Province has stopped halfway through the construction. I guess they are short of money. The Seventh Prince might not dare to fight with his life!”

The spies of the other countries didn’t only come from the West Province. There were also spies from the Dongchong Country.

“General Guan, have you thought about it? The reason why the Chang’an Palace stopped halfway through the construction is to show some people that we are good friends!” Gu Jun’an’s face was calm, as if he didn’t take his words to heart.

Gu Jun’an tried to see any unusual emotion on his face, but he didn’t see anything.

San Qi really came from the door.

Gu Jun’an could only retreat, “Your Highness, if the Dongchong Country is willing to show our goodwill by building two cities, can we be allies forever?”

Gu Jun’an glanced at him, “General Guan, don’t you know that Canglan and West Province are married? The one who married Canglan is the emperor’s aunt, the eldest princess.”

General Guan immediately said, “As long as Your Highness is willing, our East Province also has a princess who can be married. I heard that the emperor’s aunt is only five or six years old. Our eldest princess is so beautiful, she is like a flower.”

Gu Jun’an heard Guan Jun’an comparing East Province’s princess with Lan Qingqian, so he became angry.

“Is the eldest princess of East Province worthy to be compared with her?”

San Qi immediately said, “You people of East Province have always been unrighteous and wicked. Who would marry your princess? General Guan, if you have the time, why don’t you go back and ask the emperor where the mausoleum should be built? At that time, we can also send him to the coffin.”

As he spoke, he threw the tea in Guan Jun’an’s teacup out of the door. He immediately pushed Guan Jun’an away, “General Guan, please leave. Our West Province is so poor that we can’t even build a palace. We don’t have lunch for you. You should go back earlier or you won’t have lunch in the morning.”

Guan Jun’an kept pushing the door, “Seventh Prince, can you discuss it again? Why don’t we add two more cities to East Province?”

Gu Jun’an lowered his head and drank his tea, ignoring him.

Guan Jun’an said, “Then you can have lunch for me. In the war between the two armies, if we don’t kill the ambassador, you can’t have a meal. What can we talk about? At most, we can return the cities that East Province occupied to West Province. As long as West Province can join us to deal with Canglan.”

Gu Jun’an’s hand froze. He looked up and stopped his hand.

Guan Wangyou quickly pulled his clothes, “This is it, Your Royal Highness. All the friends in the world are for profit. Canglan is nothing compared to West Province, but we are different. We can send four or five cities to West Province. That’s so sincere.”

Gu Jun’an frowned and corrected him coldly, “That’s West Province’s territory!”

Now that Guan Wangyou didn’t dare to offend him, he could only agree for the time being, “Yes, yes. It originally belonged to West Province.”

“It’s not impossible for West Province to withdraw troops from East Province. Apart from the five cities that were cut off, shouldn’t East Province pay for the journey?” Gu Jun’an asked.

“Seventh Prince, we have already returned five cities to you. We have lost many people in this battle!”

“East Province owes West Province! If you don’t agree, please go back.”

“Agree, we agree!” Guan Wangyou could only agree.

“Also, if West Province wants to ally with East Province to deal with Canglan, shouldn’t we add two more cities?” Gu Jun’an continued to test his bottom line.

“Seventh Prince, you are bullying us!” Guan Wangyou stood up angrily, “Do you really think we don’t have anyone in East Province? If we fight to the death, it is still uncertain who will win.”

Gu Jun’an threw the letter in front of him to him, “What did you say to Canglan? West Province knows everything. If you don’t agree, we can ally with Canglan to attack East Province. Half of East Province’s cities will belong to West Province. Do you really care about these cities? When that time comes, not to mention one Chang’an Palace, we can build eight or ten of them.”

The words seemed casual, but they were filled with confidence.

Guan Wangyou couldn’t help but open the letter. On it was the seal of Canglan’s commander.

“Alright!” Guan Wangyou agreed.

“General Guan, are you sure?”

“His Majesty and the commander sent me. Naturally, I can make the decision. As long as the Seventh Prince is willing to ally with us to fight against Canglan, we are willing to accept these conditions. Canglan is too much!” There was still some anger in his words.

“This is a world where the strong prey on the weak. What is there to be deceitful about? Back then, your late emperor turned against them and used his own wife and daughter as a sacrifice to provoke Canglan. This is what they call being too much. The emperor of Canglan has made a vow for generations. There will be a day when blood will be paid for.”

Guan Wangyou felt a little wronged, so he didn’t speak anymore.

He waited for Guan Wangyou to leave before he spoke, “Prince, are you really going to change your plan and agree to cooperate with Dongchi?” However, he seemed to think that it was impossible, but the prince showed Guan Wangyou the letters between Canglan and the West Province.

Gu Jun’an looked outside coldly, “Do you think Guan Wangyou has such power to make a promise?”

“Prince, since you know that he is unreliable, why do you still agree?”

“This king just wants to test Dongchi’s bottom line. Just like how he used the Chang’an Palace to test this king. The more he agrees, the faster and happier he is, which means that they have less confidence in this battle. He just wants to use these things to fool this king for the time being so that Canglan will think that we have been defected and that the two countries will fight.”

“What about Navy Tide…”

“When you said that Dongchi’s letter to the Empress of Navy Tide was torn by He Dongzhi, I was sure that he was Lan Lichen. If it was really He Dongzhi who made the decision, would he dare to tear it?” Gu Jun’an sneered.

“Then why did the Emperor of Navy Tide come to the war?”

“For revenge!” His senior brother had said that Dongchi had killed the princess and his daughter, which had given Xiao Ren Emperor a huge blow. Ever since then, Xiao Ren Emperor had been unable to recover. The princess was the elder sister of Xiao Ren Emperor, and Xiao Ren Emperor had grown up under her protection.

He knew that his own sister and niece had been killed by his own husband, so he made a vow under the Imperial Mausoleum that all the descendants of the Lan Family and the Emperor would have to eliminate Dongchi. He would seek justice for the Lan Family and Navy Tide.

He left an address on the blank letter and stamped it with a seal before putting it away in an envelope. “You go and deliver the letter to He Dongzhi.”
