There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 521 80 Stones
Become!

Wang Sima and others breathed a long sigh of relief.

Nalanxiong walked through the ghost gate, and when he was dragged back to the big tent again, he was not so arrogant, but a vicious light flashed in the depths of his eyes from time to time.

Su Xian wrote a deed in his own handwriting, agreeing on the exchange of 50 stones of grain for Nalanxiong, and then unlocked Nalanxiong's hand and asked him to sign it.

This document will be a pain for Nalanxiong for the rest of his life.

But he endured it, and just kept swearing in his heart that he would definitely wipe out today's humiliation, level Liang Guo, and make Su Xian's life worse than death!

"This matter has come to an end for the time being, and it's time to negotiate the matter of [-] prisoners." Su Xian put away the deed with a smile.

"What do Su Consultants think?" Nalanjie asked proactively. He was afraid that Nalanxiong would be swayed by his emotions and do something irrational.

Su Xian smiled and said:

"Previously, the result of the negotiation between Wang Sima and Prince Nantu was that five shi of grain was exchanged for one prisoner. Thirty thousand prisoners equaled 15 shi of grain... I think five shi is a good amount."

Nalanjie immediately said with great joy: "Is it true, Su Zhenyi, this... this is really great..."

He added in his heart: "Brother Su is indeed worthy of being a scholar from the Central Plains. I admire such a gentleman's demeanor!"

Nalanxiong was still tied up by Wu Hua Da, lying on the ground. After hearing what Su Xian said, he was extremely puzzled——

Didn't the lion take advantage of the opportunity to open his mouth?
Not only Nalanxiong was puzzled, but Wang Sima and others also looked at each other. They remembered that Su Xian had suggested before that the ransom should be increased to ten stones in exchange for a prisoner, but now...

Just when everyone was in different minds, Su Xian smiled and said:

"However, I remember that Prince Nantu said just now that he wanted to ask Daliang to send someone to escort you back to the Liao Kingdom. I agree with this matter, but..."

"..."

The hearts of Nalan Xiong and Nalan Jie jumped violently, their thoughts were indeed not that simple.

Su Xian continued: "But... whenever a large army is dispatched, it will consume countless amounts of food and grass, so you need to pay the 'travel toll'!"

Nalanjie immediately said: "No, there is no need for Liang Jun to escort us. We can go back by ourselves without escort..."

Su Xian looked at him and shook his head and said: "The son of King Hunxie is not the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, so your words don't matter."

Then he turned to look at Nalan Xiong, who had a green face, and said, "The Prince of Nantu has a noble status and has always been consistent in his words. He shouldn't regret it, right?"

"I..." Nalan Xiong was filled with hatred, but he also knew that Su Xian was taking the opportunity to raise the price. He wanted to refute but had no confidence.

But... the ransom of 50 dan just now made him feel heartbroken. He knew that Su Xian's price increase was inevitable, but he still patiently declined Su Xian's "kindness" and did not need Liang Jun to escort him.

Before Su Xian could say anything, Wang Sima suddenly got angry and jumped out, pointed at Nalanxiong's nose and cursed:

"Previously, the news about our food shortage in Daliang was leaked. You, the Liao Kingdom, directly broke the contract and exchanged five stones for one prisoner, forcibly exchanging one stone for one prisoner!"

"That's not all. In the end, I, Daliang, actually asked me to compensate you five stones of food for each of your captives, and also sent someone to escort you back to the Liao Kingdom..."

"We have an old saying in the Central Plains: If you are in the first grade of junior high school, don't blame us for being in the fifteenth grade!"

"This 'travel fee' must be increased. If not, we at Daliang will not let people go. It's up to you to decide!"

"..."

After Wang Sima vented his anger, he felt refreshed, but when he turned around, he saw Su Xian and others looking at him dumbfounded.

He suddenly realized that Princess Lanling had given full authority over the matter to Su Xian. Her words and deeds just now seemed to be too much, so he hurriedly apologized to Su Xian.

Su Xian waved his hand and smiled:

"What Wang Sima said is wrong. Wang Sima was previously responsible for the negotiation...Princess, I request Wang Sima to work with me to handle this matter. Please give me your permission."

As we all know, Wang Sima suffered a lot from Na Lanxiong before, and now Su Xian suggested that Wang Sima join, so that he can...let him deal with the trivial matters afterwards!
Well, that's great!

Su Xian couldn't help but praise his wit.

Naturally, Princess Lanling had no objection, and only said: "This matter has been handed over to Su Ziyi to handle this matter. Su Ziyi can join anyone he wants."

"..."

Nalan Xiong suddenly felt a little regretful. He had used Liao's powerful national power to do whatever he wanted, but now that retribution had come, he really wanted to give himself a big mouth a few days ago.

Under the gazes of Su Xian and Wang Sima, his arrogant head finally slowly lowered, agreeing to be escorted by Liang Jun and paying the "travel toll".

However, the eyes on Nalanxiong's lowered head were filled with infinite hatred. He would endure it until he returned to the Liao Kingdom, and then he would do everything possible to send troops to conquer Nanliang!

They will also torture Su Xian and Wang Sima to death!

……

After agreeing to the "travel fee", then there is nothing to argue with when the "travel fee" is set at five stones. Nalanxiong accepted all the conditions humiliatingly.

Soon, the negotiations were concluded and the general direction was set.

As for the operational matters, Su Xian will discuss with Nalan Jie.

As for Nalanxiong, he thought that the ransom was as high as 50 dan and he could enjoy different treatment, such as untying him. However, Su Xian waved his hand and ordered the soldiers:
"Take Prince Nantu to prison!"

"Dark prison? I have promised to pay the ransom, and the ransom is as high as..." Nalanxiong almost exploded on the spot.

"Whenever the 50 stone grain is delivered, I will let you go." Su Xian glanced coldly.

"You..." Nalanxiong gritted his upper and lower teeth, he endured it, but the hatred for Su Xian in his heart increased.

"But... for the sake of Prince Nantu's 50 stone ransom of food, I can give you some preferential treatment... Well, I'll provide you with delicious meals three times a day!" Su Xian added.

Na Lanxiong's complexion managed to look better. Although he still had to be put in some kind of black prison, at least he didn't have to worry about good food and wine, which was barely enough.

Nalanjie shook his head and sneered.

He has a deep understanding of the "dark prison" in Su Xian's words. Even his rebellious sister Nalan Yan was once punished and submissive. Nalan Xiong... I am afraid that the next few days will not be the same. It will be better.

……

Soon after, Nalanxiong was imprisoned.

Nalan Festival, together with Su Xian and Wang Sima, began to discuss the specific details of the transfer of captives and ransom.

Wang You and other subordinate officers and generals beamed with joy and spread the good news that Hebei Province was about to receive 80 shi of grain. In just two quarters of an hour, the entire camp was discussing the matter.

Princess Lanling returned to her sleeping tent, her steps became much more brisk as she moved around, her glory was even more radiant, and there was always an arc at the corner of her mouth that she had not seen for several days.

Qiu Dianjun followed behind and saw this and smiled and said: "Princess, we in Hebei Province will no longer worry about food shortages, and all of this is due to Su Consultation!"

"Ah."

Princess Lanling smiled and nodded, standing in front of the window watching the birds playing in the tree.

Qiu Dianjun rolled his eyes and said in a strange tone: "It's a pity, it's a pity that a talent like Su Zhenyi married a widow. Although she is not the official wife, but..."

"Speak up!"

Princess Lanling turned back and glared.

Qiu Dianjun was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said: "This slave talks too much, please punish me princess."

Li Youqing was generous and did not punish her.

However, Qiu Dianjun couldn't stop thinking in his heart: "It seems that Her Royal Highness is really kind to the son-in-law. She gave her body away when she was not married, and even allowed the son-in-law to take concubines..."
