Shi Tinghan and Tan Wen were both scholars, when had they ever seen such a battle situation? Before they even met Tang Yin, just seeing Feng Army caused their hearts to turn cold, a cold wind blew behind their back. When they walked, their legs were already tensed up.

Just then, a black armored martial general walked over and stood in front of the two of them. The martial general looked at the two of them, curled his lips, and asked: "Are the two of you the envoys of Ning Country?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" This official is Shi Tinghan (Tan Du), I wonder what your name is? " Shi Tinghan and his owner politely and deeply bowed to him.

That martial general did not reply, but only gave a cold snort. He turned to the side and said, "The King has an invitation. The two of you, follow me!" While he was speaking, the military general had already taken the lead to walk out.

Shi Tinghan and Tan Du looked at each other and chased after the general.

The closer they got to the Central Army Tent, the fewer soldiers there were. However, all they saw were the more powerful and personal guards of the Sovereign King. These guards numbered in the thousands. Not only were they tall and sturdy, but their faces were also radiant. Their eyes sparkled brightly as their imposing aura filled the air. The tight pressure of the red tassel covered the sky and the earth; it was quite a sight to behold.

It was unknown if it was done on purpose, but when the guards saw Shi Tinghan and the Tan Qin, they all shot at the shield and shouted together, "Wind! Wind! "Wind ?"

The sudden sound of the shield being struck shook the world, the sound of the shield being struck was extremely deafening, even Shi Tinghan and were unprepared. They were so scared that their spirits started to tremble, their bodies trembling, and they almost fell to the ground. The two did not dare to speak, nor did they dare to even breathe. They lowered their heads and hunched their shoulders, and their undergarments were almost completely drenched in cold sweat.

Seeing the two of them so scared, the military general leading the way looked down on them from the bottom of his heart. He did not even look back as he coldly said, "You two wait here for a while." While speaking, he strode into the Central Army Tent and arrived in front of Tang Yin, bowing deeply with utmost respect. He said softly, "My King, the envoy from Ning Country has arrived." With that, he added in a low voice, "It looks like a soft persimmon."

Tang Yin laughed indifferently, nodded his head, and raised it to indicate his direction. The military general understood, turned around and shouted loudly towards the outside of the tent: "Great King has asked for the Ning Country's envoy!"

Hearing the summons from the tent, Shi and Tan secretly swallowed their saliva. The two of them looked at each other, then steeled their hearts and walked into the Central Army Tent s with small steps.

Under the stage, the two of them knelt down and kowtowed. At the same time, they mustered their courage and shouted, "This subject greets Feng King, Ning Country Four Seasons Shi Tinghan (Tan Du)!"

Although Feng and Ning are at war with each other, they are still dukes under the same Haotian Empire after all. When an official of Ning Country sees a ruler of Feng Country, according to etiquette, they should address themselves as an official and pay their respects to him. Shi and Tan were both senior officials of Hong Dian. They were in the diplomatic service. They were extremely familiar with the etiquette of diplomacy.

Tang Yin sat on the collapsed ground, laughing while squinting his eyes, he sized up the two of them and did not speak for a long time. He did not speak, and Shi Tinghan and Tan Du did not dare move either, maintaining their position of prostrating themselves. After an unknown period of time, Tang Yin finally opened his mouth and said: "So it's Master Shi and Master Tan, please get up!"

"Thank you, Feng King!" The two of them spoke at the same time.

"Take a seat." Tang Yin waved his hand, and the guards on both sides immediately went up and brought over two cushions, indicating that the two of them should sit.

After the two of them sat down, Tang Yin asked: "I heard that you two came here to negotiate?"

"Yes, Feng King!" Shi Tinghan cupped his hands together and said: "Now that the two nations are at loggerheads, both sides have their losses, the King Ning is worried that the war will not end, the Hedong will destroy everything, and the citizens will not be able to live, thus she sent the two officials to pay respects to the Feng King, to discuss the peace between the two nations!"

Seeing Shi Tinghan's serious face while speaking, Tang Yin did not seem to be pretending, but he still did not believe that the Ning Country would be sincere. He chuckled, at the same time, his eyes moved, he muttered to himself for a moment, then asked casually: "Does General Yuanhong agree to peace talks too?"

Who knew that Tang Yin would suddenly ask about Zhangsun Yuanhong, causing both Shi Tinghan and his to have a change in expression. They were dumbfounded and tongue-tied, not knowing how to answer. After being stunned for a moment, Shi Tinghan laughed dryly and nodded: "General Yuanhong also agrees with the agreement between the two nations."

Shi Tinghan's and's reaction made Tang Yin suspicious, and after hearing that Zhangsun Yuanhong agreed to a compromise, he became even more suspicious. With Zhangsun Yuanhong's personality, even if he were to bet with the rest of the troops, he would probably not agree to a compromise.

scoffed at Shi Tinghan's words. He squinted his eyes and stared straight at Shi Tinghan.

Under Tang Yin's gaze that was as sharp as knives, Shi Tinghan felt as if he was sitting naked in front of him without any clothes on, and he could see through any of his emotions. He stammered, "Dang..." Of course! Of course General Yuanhong would also agree to peace talks. "

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, the two ambassadors did not seem like they were shrewd people, they had never seen much of the world, if the agreement between the Ning Country and the people was fake, and there was some other plan, they would definitely not send such a person, but hearing the hesitation in the other party's tone, it seemed like there was some hidden meaning behind it.

Just as Tang Yin was pondering to himself, Shi Tinghan took out a document from his bosom. He respectfully handed it over to Tang Yin and said: "This is a peace agreement between the two countries, personally approved by King Ning.

Oh? The Ning Country had even prepared a peace treaty, this was quite interesting. Tang Yin slightly raised his hand. Shangguan Yuanbiao, who was standing behind him, stepped forward, accepted the agreement, and passed it to Tang Yin.

The main content of the agreement was that Ning Country should first apologize towards the dispatch of the troops. After that, he would give a long summary of the various harm done when the two nations fought. Only in the end did he propose to cede the Hedong County to the troops, and make compensation for the losses caused when the Ning Army invaded the Feng Country.

Here, Ning Country was not said to be a compensation that their side had been forced to make because of a defeat. Of course, this was also because the Ning Country court was looking out for their reputation.

The amount of compensation stated in the book was one hundred thousand taels of gold, five million taels of silver, five million taels of silk and five million pieces of silk.

Such a large sum might be a drop in the bucket to Ning Country, but to Feng Country, it could be considered a large sum of money.

When Tang Yin looked at the peace agreement, everyone in the tent was anxiously looking at him. Shi Tinghan and his owner naturally hoped that Tang Yin would not mention any other conditions, and it would be best if they immediately agreed. As for the rest of the generals of Feng Country, they curiously looked at the peace agreement in Tang Yin's hands, stretching their necks out their necks.2

After carefully looking over the contract from start to finish, Tang Yin immediately determined that this contract was something that the Ning Country court had drafted with all their might. It had been mentioned more than once that the Hedong County had been ceded to the Feng Country, and not returned.

This peace treaty could be said to be a painstaking effort. Could it be that Ning Country really wanted to negotiate peace with him? Tang Yin slowly put down the agreement and looked towards Shi Tinghan and Tan Li. Seeing Tang Yin's gaze land on them, Shi and Qin's heart leaped into their throats, their bodies tensed up. Shi Tinghan asked carefully: "I wonder if Feng King is dissatisfied with this contract? Will you accept our peace agreement? "

Tang Yin laughed, but did not immediately answer the question, but said: "Master Shi, about this matter, I still have to consider it further."

"Yes, yes, this is an extremely important matter, so the Feng King should indeed think about it carefully. However, both the Fengning and Ning kingdoms are major powers, so if we continue to exhaust them over a long period of time, no matter who wins or loses, it will not benefit any of them. Instead, it will benefit the other nations, so I hope that the Feng King can reconsider!" Shi Tinghan said with a serious expression.

"Haha ?" Tang Yin laughed, and said, "This king will remember Master Shi's words." With that, he raised his hand and said, "Prepare the wine and dishes! Master Shi and Master Tan are rare guests and have traveled a long way. I will drink with you today. "

"Aiya! Feng King is too kind. " Shi Tinghan and Tan Du also anxiously stood up, and bowed to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin laughed and waved his hand, signalling for the two to sit down, he laughed: "Since we are going to negotiate, we are one family, there is no need to be so courteous."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Feng King is right! " Shi Tinghan and Tan Du looked at each other, feeling much more at ease. Before this, the two of them had always heard of Tang Yin's viciousness and savagery, but after seeing him today, it seemed the complete opposite. Not only was he handsome, he was also very gentle.

Not long after, the guards brought over several small tables and placed them in front of the generals, Shi Tinghan and Tan Li. Following that, they served the food and wine one after another.

Tang Yin reached for a cup of wine, picked up the cup, and smiled to Shi and Tan: "Two Masters, you have traveled thousands of miles to come to our army camp, it has been a long and arduous journey, I salute you both!" After saying that, Tang Yin shook his cup and raised his head to drink.

Tang Yin was the king, he drank all the wine, Shi Tinghan and his owner did not dare be slow either, the two of them quickly picked up their wine cups and bowed: Thank you, Feng King! As they spoke, the two of them also finished their wine.

The wind wine was different from the Ning wine, the former was much spicier and stronger, the stronger the wine was, the stronger it got. Shi Tinghan and drank a cup and felt that what they drank was not like wine, but more like a knife, the wind wine's spiciness rushed from their stomachs straight to their heads, in an instant, their faces flushed red.

Tang Yin poured another cup of wine, and said with a smile: "I can see that King Ning's negotiation is very sincere. This duke has also carefully considered it for a while, and regarding peace negotiation, this king can accept it!"

and Tan Du's eyes lit up as they looked at Tang Yin. Before the two of them could say anything, Tang Yin continued, "It's only the amount of compensation ?"

"We can discuss! As long as the Feng King's demand is not too high, my country will accept all of it! " Shi Tinghan impatiently promised.
