C299 What a Glib Tongue to Probe the Empress

"Please forgive me for what I have said. Marshal, you are the commander of the army, so you must have participated in countless battles. In terms of experience, I'm afraid no one is more experienced than you, Marshal. Marshal should know when to do and what to say better than anyone. It's not too late to negotiate peace now. It's just the right time. " Princess Consort Xian said with a smile.

"Oh!? Just right? How can it be perfect?"

"Hehe, Your Highness, you must have seen the cities of Nanzhou as well, right? How do you feel about it? To put it bluntly, The walls of Nanzhou are unbreakable. They are two times taller than normal walls. I think the general in front of the city gate must have seen it as well. There are Broken Dragon Stones blocking the way. The Broken Dragon Stone weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. Once it falls, only a few hundred people will be able to hang it with chains. If the general wanted to forcefully attack such a city, I don't need to say anything about the consequences. "

"Are you trying to raise your own value? You should know that I have a lot of troops in my hands right now. It won't be a problem for me to break through your tiny Nanzhou. Don't you think that what you need to do now isn't to negotiate peace, but to open the city gates and surrender to the Great Ming? "

"Haha, what the Marshal said is right. With your Great Ming's current troops, it is naturally possible to break through our Nanzhou. But Marshal, think about it, if we, the soldiers and civilians of the Nanzhou, fight to the death together, With just our city walls and city gates, it is not an easy task to take us down. At that time, both sides will suffer, even if we lose. I think General, your losses will be immeasurable, and all you will get is an empty city with no living beings. . . A city of death filled with dead people will have no effect at all. "

"Is this the capital for you to propose a peace treaty?"

"Of course, if we had proposed a peace treaty earlier, I believe that our peace talks will fail above the ninth level, but it's different now. I heard that although you have been on the battlefield for a long time, you are a great general with outstanding military exploits. . . But you love the people as much as your son, and you treat the soldiers the same way. I think ending this battle in this way will be more likable to the general than using the lives of the soldiers to exchange for an empty city in the end. "

"Hahahaha, a true man cannot be compared to a man. I did not expect Princess Consort Xian to be so manly. Although you are a woman, your mind is meticulous and your courage is outstanding. Not only did you dare to go to the enemy camp alone, but you are also able to speak frankly and confidently. Your thinking is really admirable. "

" Haha, General, you must be joking. This little girl is only a woman. It is just that this little girl knows that even if the two countries were to fight, they would not be able to cut down the envoys. Furthermore, General, you are the commander. Everyone knows that the Great Ming's General Qu is a benevolent and righteous general who is respected by others. Such a person would definitely not do anything to this little girl. "

"Princess Consort Xian, you flatter me. "

"Hehe. Everyone knew the name of the Marshal. It was not that I was supporting you today. It's that your reputation has been praised and respected outside. Then, Marshal, can we talk about peace now?"

"Alright, tell us your sincerity in the peace talks. "

"Alright. When I came out, the patriarch personally told me that if Marshal can accept the peace talks, our Nanzhou is willing to immediately pay tribute to a thousand horses, a hundred carts of satin, five hundred thousand taels of gold, five million taels of silver, fifty boxes of pearl and jade artifacts, three thousand beauties, and annual tribute. The lowest is the number this time. I wonder if Marshal feels that these things are sincere?"

"Hahahaha, Patriarch Helian is really generous to actually be willing to take out so many things. He is truly sincere. Alright, I will convey Patriarch Helian's intention to the Emperor and see how the Emperor will deal with it. "

"Alright, then Nanzhou will quietly wait for the good news from the Marshal. "

"Alright. Then Princess Consort Xian, please go back first. When there is news, I will send someone to inform you. "

"Okay. Then I will take my leave now. " Princess Consort Xian stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute. " At this time, Qingyun stood up and called Princess Consort Xian who was about to leave.

"I wonder what Prince Mu meant by calling this little girl back?"

"Princess Consort Xian, do you know who that person who bewitched Team Leader Helian is?"

"He is a prince of Nanzhou. His surname is Jia Tianwei, and he is also the Master of Hundred-face Pavilion. "

"Oh! I didn't expect that Princess would know so clearly. Then I will have to trouble Princess to ask the patriarch to hand over the culprit to us. " As she spoke, she looked expressionlessly at Princess Consort Xian in front of her.

When Princess Consort Xian heard this pause, her eyebrows moved slightly and her fist immediately clenched.

Although no one paid too much attention to this action, it could not escape Qing Yun's eyes.

"Haha, where did Prince Mu say this from? We really want to tie him up and hand him over to you. That will show that we are more sincere. Unfortunately, I heard that half a month ago, Didn't you capture Prince Jia? What's the purpose of Prince Mu coming to ask for him now? "

"Oh! It seems like Princess Consort Xian is the favoured concubine of Patriarch Helian. She even knows this. Looking at the way the princess walks, she should be a martial artist, right? This Nanzhou woman is really as the general said. She is a man who is not inferior to men. "

"Hehe, Your Highness is overpraising me. We only practiced some martial arts to protect ourselves. We are very different from a Divine Halberd General like Your Highness. "

"Eh! There's no need for the Princess to be humble. I can tell that the Princess is not an ordinary martial artist. There's one more thing that I need to trouble the Patriarch with. "

"Haha, Your Highness thinks too highly of me. To be honest, I do not have that much ability. Prince Mu is too polite. There's no need to trouble yourself. As long as we can do it, we will definitely help Your Highness. "

"Thank you very much. Since the patriarch has already repented, why don't we arrest the remaining criminals of Hundred-face Pavilion and hand them over to us?"

"This. . . Your Highness, there is something you don't know. The Hundred-face Pavilion is the biggest sect in the Western Region. Although Jia Tianwei was once the prince of the Nanzhou, this Hundred-face Pavilion doesn't belong to the jurisdiction of the Nanzhou. We are powerless to do so. "

"Is that so? Does that Princess know how to get to the Hundred-face Pavilion?"

"Why is Your Highness asking this?"

"To be honest, one of our commanders was killed by someone from the Hundred-face Pavilion and his corpse was brought back to the Hundred-face Pavilion. I want to retrieve it. "

"It's like this. Everyone says that the whereabouts of the Hundred-face Pavilion are mysterious. The location of the Hundred-face Pavilion is also very confusing, and there are people everywhere. But no one knows exactly where it is, but I think I should be able to help His Royal Highness. I heard from the patriarch that a few days ago, after the patriarch repented, he seemed to have captured a few of their disciples. I think they should know where the Hundred-face Pavilion is. Why don't I hand those disciples over to you? Let them take you there. "
