Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 894 Everything is different from what he thought

In any case, this negotiation ended in failure. Although they had hostages, if Dongting didn't pay, everything would be in vain.

However, Mr. Kang's performance during the peace talks was blown away like the wind, and many people in the court knew about it.

For a while, everyone was talking about it. Some said that Mr. Kang was meddling in other people's affairs and ruined the peace talks. Others thought that Mr. Kang was right. It was Dongting's fault. Why couldn't Beiyan strive for more benefits? If not, why would he have done so? It would be better to kill the third prince of Dongting directly and give the people a direct explanation.

When the news reached the ears of the Lu family, both Lu Baichuan and his wife expressed their strong support, and entered the palace to get the emperor's approval. They sent people to the post house to tell the Dongting people that they would do what Mr. Kang said and only give In five days, if they don't make a decision as soon as possible, they will wait to collect the body of the third prince of Dongting.

The people of Dongting saw that the people of Beiyan were so unreasonable, and even at the stage of negotiating peace, they could still say such words, which was clearly a clear threat.

So, the Dongting people held a small meeting to discuss what should be done.

The prince of Dongting's health has improved. At this meeting he held in person, he sat at the top and looked at the officials below and asked in a cold voice: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Everyone did not answer immediately, but considered it carefully, and then someone said: "The Beiyan people dare to be so rampant simply because the third prince is in their hands. How about we send someone to rescue the third prince? Once they come, there will be nothing they can do to us!"

"That's wrong! If Bei Yan dares to be so arrogant, he must have set up a dragnet. If we go to save people in private, we might get ourselves involved! Then they will only want more!"

"Yes, many people went to rescue the Third Prince when he got into trouble before, but they never succeeded."

"Is it possible that we can only agree to those unreasonable demands?"

"Old minister, I have an idea! Why don't we pretend to agree to Bei Yan's request? Once they release the third prince, we will return to the East Court immediately and see if Bei Yan still dares to be arrogant!"

"But can we leave Beiyan safely in front of everyone?"

……

Everyone expressed their opinions, and in the end all suggestions were overturned by themselves. After some discussion, they found that at present, if they did not agree to their request, the third prince might really be executed publicly.

Then Dongting's face would be really humiliated.

Prince Dongting exhaled and said, "In this case, I can only agree."

Everyone looked unhappy, but they couldn't think of any other way.

Five days later, the peace meeting was held again. This time, needless to say, Dongting directly agreed to all Bei Yan's demands.

The content of the treaty is: Dongting will compensate Beiyan for 20 taels of gold, return the two cities previously seized by Dongting, and withdraw the entire border defense line by 500 meters.

For Dongting, this has already severely damaged his vitality.

The treaty has been signed, and they need to write a letter back to Dongting immediately to ask Dongting to hand over these matters and ensure that these things are sent to Beiyan, so that the envoy group headed by the Prince of Dongting can leave Beiyan safely.

At the same time, only after it is confirmed that the Prince of Dongting has sent the letter back to Dongting, can the third prince and the envoys of Dongting be temporarily allowed to meet.

Why is it temporary? Because he is worried about the cunning people in Dongting, so the third prince will have chains on his feet even if he is in the Tianlao, and he must not open it without a key.

Hearing Bei Yan's reply, the envoy who had proposed to pretend to agree to the treaty was very embarrassed. People like Bei Yan were too smart and did not give anyone a chance to escape.

Everyone in Dongting held their breath, thinking that when they returned to Dongting, they must let the imperial court launch troops against Beiyan and snatch all these things back!
When the letter from Prince Dongting was sent out, the Lu family finally accepted his invitation and made an appointment to meet him that afternoon.Lu Baichuan and his wife were both present, and they received the Prince of Dongting just like they would any ordinary colleagues.

Prince Dongting thought about many scenes of meeting her, including meeting her again in the rivers and lakes, and also having her fall from the sky again when his condition worsened, but he never thought that she would be sitting next to Lu Baichuan, with a smile on his face. She was so innocent and sunny, completely different from her that night.

At this moment, Prince Dongting suddenly thought in a wicked way, did Lu Baichuan know that she had done those things?Or, does Lu Baichuan know that she still has that side?

"The prince's complexion is not bad. I think he has had a good rest during this period."

Lu Baichuan smiled and took the initiative to speak, and then he looked away from his wife.

Whenever this happens, Lu Baichuan will have a sense of crisis. He always feels that none of these people are good, and all of them are trying to take advantage of his wife.

Prince Dongting looked away, smiled calmly, and said, "Thanks to Mrs. Lu for the prescription, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to go out and see the bustling streets of Beiyan."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I'm taking people's money to eliminate disasters for them. This is what I should do."

He Jiuniang smiled lightly and did not panic at all when facing the scrutiny of Prince Dongting. She had no intention of hiding it anyway.

Hearing these words, Prince Dongting remembered the way she searched for things in his palace that night, and wished he could pry away all the floor tiles in his palace.

He still vividly remembers that cute look.

But now, she was smiling like a flower in someone else's arms, which was an outcome he had never imagined.

My heart felt like being pricked with needles.

"Mrs. Lu has superb medical skills and good skills, but have you ever thought that you can break into a new world after leaving Beiyan?"

He was unhappy in his heart, but he was smiling on his face, and he was looking at He Jiuniang the whole time, trying to see if she would be afraid in front of Lu Baichuan.

"His Royal Highness, you are joking. I was born in Beiyan. If I am not in Beiyan, where else can I go?"

He Jiuniang shrugged and continued: "My husband is Beiyan's general. If I don't work hard for Beiyan, where can I go?"

"What if I want to invite you to the East Court? You can do whatever you want."

He knew that He Jiuniang loved money and Dongting was already richer than Beiyan. As long as she was willing, he could give her anything.

"Is the prince kidding me? The prince wants to invite me back to Dongting. In what name? Will my emperor and courtiers in Beiyan allow it? Furthermore, will my husband agree? Will my family be willing to do so?"

He Jiuniang chuckled, and a series of rhetorical questions silenced the Prince of Dongting.

Lu Baichuan continued: "The visitor is a guest, so Lu naturally entertains him well, but the prince wants to take away my wife at his first request. This is a bit of an idiot!"

The prince saw the couple working together to attack him, and felt even more unhappy. He asked directly: "If Madam is willing to go back with me, there is no need to cover up her talents. Why do you stand still after doing good things like this?" In the dark?"
