The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he turned around and left.

If you want to surrender, then surrender. Why dare you put forward conditions?

What is the current situation of Gaoli Kingdom? Don’t these people know anything?

If you don’t surrender to Daxuan, then wait to be beaten by Nanyue.

Nanyue was already beating Gaoli Kingdom. Now that the national teacher of Nanyue died in Gaoli Kingdom, Kang Luo was so scared that he fled overnight... How could Kang Luo tolerate such humiliation?

Based on Ning Chen’s understanding of Kang Luo, if Kang Luo didn’t beat the shit out of Gaoli Kingdom, he would be considered to have done it cleanly.

Seeing Ning Chen approaching the main hall, the King of Gaoli Kingdom became anxious and said, "Your Highness, please stay. We can discuss everything."

Ning Chen had already stepped out of the door, but when he heard the words of the King of Gaoli Kingdom, he paused, stood on the door, turned his head and looked at him, and said in a tough manner:

"First, since you are a vassal, you must know how to be a vassal. It is essential to pay tribute to my Daxuan every year.

Second, we can have a marriage alliance. Let your seventh princess of Gaoli Kingdom marry my fourth prince of Daxuan.

Third, Daxuan can not Interfere in the state affairs of Gaoli, but Gaoli must follow Daxuan in major decisions.

Fourth, Gaoli must send envoys to Daxuan every year to pay homage.

Fifth, you can no longer call yourself "I". I will ask the Emperor of Daxuan to enthrone you as the King of Gaoli.

I have finished my conditions. If you agree, I will take back my right leg, and Daxuan and Gaoli will share the same hatred. If you don't agree, I will take back my left leg, walk out of the hall, and we will part ways and live well. "

The face of the king of Gaoli and the civil and military ministers twitched.

Especially the king of Gaoli, his back teeth were almost broken.

"Let me think about it. I'll talk to you tomorrow. How about that?"

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "It seems that the king didn't hear what I said clearly. As long as I take back my left leg, we will break up from now on.

The New Year is coming soon. I have to rush back to Daxuan. There is no time to delay.

In fact, you will not suffer any loss if you submit to Daxuan. It is good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. You just need to bow your head and pay a little price to get the protection of Daxuan."

The corners of everyone's mouth twitched.

It seems that submitting is a glorious thing?

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and observed their reactions. He felt that the time was almost right.

Suppression will easily cause a backlash.

This kind of thing requires both kindness and force.

Ning Chen looked at the king of Gaoli and said: "I heard that Gaoli was captured by Nanyue. If you submit, you will be a minister of Daxuan. I will send troops to help you take back the two cities."

The king of Gaoli's eyes lit up.

As the king of a country, he can't lose the land conquered by his ancestors, not to mention expanding the territory. Otherwise, he will be named as a tyrant in history books, and he will not be able to face his ancestors after his death.

The reason why he agreed to Kang Luo's marriage proposal was because Kang Luo promised to return the two cities.

If Ning Chen can help them take back the two cities, it is not impossible to surrender to Da Xuan. After all, with Xiliang in front, it is not shameful for them to surrender.

"Okay, as long as Zhenguo can help us take back the two cities, I agree to surrender to Da Xuan."

Ning Chen's mouth corners slightly raised. This king of Gaoli Kingdom is also a man who loves his mother.

"Okay, I will write a letter of commitment in my own handwriting to help you take back the two cities... But, at the latest tomorrow morning, I want to see the surrender letter."

Things have come to this point, and it is basically a deal.

In fact, Gaoli Kingdom has no choice. Now they can only seek protection from Da Xuan.

The king of Gaoli State proposed those conditions just to preserve his dignity.

Ning Chen would naturally not agree to their conditions, but he would preserve some dignity for them, that is, to help them recapture the lost cities.

After the two cities were recaptured, he would return them to Gaoli State... but at the same time, like Xiliang, he would station troops in the two cities.

......

Ning Chen returned to the reception building.

Pan Yucheng and others were relieved to see Ning Chen coming back.

Pan Yucheng asked, "What happened?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "It should be clear now."

Pan Yucheng was startled, and then he immediately understood, "It's done?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

Everyone looked at him with excitement and admiration. How many people in the world could make Gaoli State surrender without a single soldier?

It should be clear now.

Pan Yucheng immediately asked people to prepare wine and food.

......

The next day, in the morning.

Jin Dongxing came.

He brought a surrender letter.

This surrender letter was written by the king of Gaoli Kingdom. The reason why it was handed over by Jin Dongxing was to maintain the last bit of dignity. After all, it was not glorious to surrender.

Ning Chen also wrote a letter of commitment in his own handwriting.

The two sides made an exchange.

From now on, Gaoli Kingdom, like Xiliang, will be a vassal state of Daxuan.

Jin Dongxing looked at Ning Chen with complicated eyes, "When will the prince return to Daxuan?"

"He will leave this afternoon."

Jin Dongxing was shocked, "So anxious?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Why, you can't bear to leave me?"

Jin Dongxing smiled bitterly and said frankly, "It's not that you can't bear to leave, it's that I shouldn't have brought the prince here... From the moment I invited the prince, the prince has planned everything, right?"

Ning Chen laughed, "I'm not as amazing as you said. I did have a plan at that time, but I haven't figured out how to implement it."

Jin Dongxing sighed and said, "The prince is far-sighted and has made no omissions. I admire him!"

Ning Chen looked at him with a smile, "Are you scolding me? Do you want to say that I am insidious and despicable?"

Jin Dongxing shook his head hurriedly, "I didn't mean that!"

Ning Chen shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter... Actually, I didn't expect that the bullet shot when I was young would hit the center of my eyebrow many years later."

Jin Dongxing looked at him puzzled.

Ning Chen just smiled without explaining much.

He just suddenly remembered his uncle who was killed by him with a single sword. At that time, he was reckless, passionate, and lonely. What he hated most was intrigue and conspiracy.

But now, he has become a scheming old fox, who is at ease in the officialdom, and is easy to come by with conspiracies and schemes.

Jin Dongxing said: "Why don't you, Your Majesty, stay one more day? I will host a banquet in the evening. We haven't had a drink yet."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Save this wine for later... This is not a refusal, the New Year is coming soon, I have to rush back as soon as possible. I haven't spent the New Year with my family for several years, and there will be many opportunities to drink in the future.

Next spring, I will lead an army to support you and help you recapture the two lost cities. "

Jin Dongxing was a little disappointed, "Then next time, in the spring of next year, I will greet the prince at Gaoliguo!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "See you next year!"

In the afternoon, Ning Chen set off and left.

A few days later, Ning Chen, who was originally heading north, suddenly changed direction.

Pan Yucheng asked: "Are we going in the wrong direction?"

He should be heading north when he returned to Daxuan, but Ning Chen suddenly started walking west.

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Back to the southern border, we have to go out from Gaotian City in Gaoli Kingdom, and we have to pass through Jianxuan Pass in South Vietnam... I guess Kang Luo will definitely set up an ambush waiting for me on the road.

Let’s take a detour, although it’s a bit far, but safety comes first! "
