Xuanwu Kingdom Palace, Council Hall.

After Jun Lintian arrived here, he noticed that all the civil and military officials had gathered here.

Emperor Wu was sitting on the dragon throne, his face looked very serious and his aura was intimidating without him even getting angry.

Even the officials standing below were trembling with fear.

However, Feng Zhuyue did not appear here.

I don’t know if I was too harsh on her yesterday.

Jun Lintian thought about it and didn’t find it strange. Yesterday, Feng Zhuyue had an iron chain tied around her neck, leaving obvious red marks.

The phoenix robe of Xuanwu Country does not cover the neck. If she appears here, people will definitely notice her.

The corners of Jun Lintian's mouth curled up slightly, and he was in a very good mood.

At this moment, when he looked at Emperor Wu again, he only felt that there seemed to be a green light on Emperor Wu's head.

Emperor Wu naturally noticed Jun Lintian's gaze. Although he felt that the look was a little strange, he did not think much about it.

After all, he was the supreme emperor of the Xuanwu Empire. How could he possibly think that his queen was cheating on him?

No matter what Emperor Wu said, he still had confidence in his heart.

A woman can never refuse the supreme status, and the queen is the highest status in a country.

"This young master pays his respects to the Martial Emperor." Jun Lintian casually bowed to the Martial Emperor, without any respect on his face.

It was just a casual greeting.

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials couldn't help but curl their lips.

This way of greeting is even less polite than asking a friend on the street if he has eaten.

However, only the young master of the Jun family has such strength.

In the past two days, the eldest prince was locked up in the Sky Prison, but Emperor Wu turned a blind eye to him, and it was obvious that he had given up on his own son.

Emperor Wu also personally ordered the execution of the eldest prince at 13:00 tomorrow afternoon.

All of this was caused by the young man in front of him, but Emperor Wu had no choice but to accept it.

In addition, these civil and military officials also had another guess in their minds.

Jun Lintian is targeting the eldest prince Xuan Fei so much, obviously he wants to kill Xuan Fei. Then, is the death of the previous prince Xuan Feng also related to Jun Lintian?
When the civil and military officials thought of this, they all stopped thinking and did not think about it any further.

Even if they knew that Xuanfeng’s death was caused by Jun Lintian, what could they do?

Apart from allowing them to sigh at how terrifying Jun Lintian is, it seems to have no meaning at all.

However, among the officials present, there was one person whose expression was always easy-going. When he looked at Jun Lintian, he even nodded slightly at him.

This person is Prime Minister Li Yongning.

Ever since Li Yunxin was betrothed to Jun Lintian, Li Yongning has firmly stood on Jun Lintian's side.

So the death of the eldest prince was a great thing for him.

"The young master of the Jun family is here, so let's start the negotiations."

Emperor Wu withdrew his thoughts at this moment and spoke in a serious voice.

However, after hearing what Emperor Wu said, Jun Lintian couldn't help but frowned, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "Negotiation?"

"What does the Emperor Wu want to discuss with this young master?"

At this moment, he pretended to be displeased, but in fact he was already smiling evilly in his heart.

In fact, Jun Lintian originally thought that Emperor Wu would choose to go to war directly with the Jun family. In that case, there was a high probability that the Jun family would directly give in.

After all, the Emperor Zhou is extremely dissatisfied with the Jun family. If the Jun family goes to war with the Xuanwu Empire, the Emperor Zhou will take advantage. The reason why Jun Haotian has been so aggressive recently is that he is overdrawing the combat effectiveness of the army.

Even though Jun Lintian thinks he is the number one villain in Tianxuan Continent.

And I have mastered the plot of the original novel.

But he was also very clear that the Xuanwu Empire must also be a dynasty, and the Jun family was just an aristocratic family.

If a war really breaks out, the Jun family may not be a match for the Xuanwu Empire, so everything the Jun family is doing now is just bluffing.

Originally, Jun Lintian was a little worried that Emperor Wu would see through this.

But no one expected that Emperor Wu chose to negotiate now, which meant that Emperor Wu did not see through it at all, but instead believed in the strength shown by the Jun family.

This is naturally a very good thing for the Jun family.

At this moment, Jun Lintian's face couldn't help but darken a little. He slowly said, "Didn't Emperor Wu say a few days ago that he wanted to consider whether to cede the city?"

"Why has it become a negotiation now?"

"If the Emperor Wu is so insincere, then I think there is no need to talk about it. At worst, the Jun family will go to war with the Xuanwu Empire."

After Jun Lintian said this, the faces of all the civil and military officials changed at once.

Immediately, some officials who could no longer keep their composure stood up.

"Young Master Jun, it's a misunderstanding... a misunderstanding. The negotiation that Your Majesty mentioned is actually a replacement of some conditions on the original basis."

"Those three cities can indeed be given to you, but we still have to change some conditions, right?"

"That's right. If we give all three cities to your Jun family, our Xuanwu Empire will suffer a great loss."

Jun Lintian did not speak in a hurry, but looked towards Li Yongning.

He doesn't trust much of the people here, except Li Yongning, who is a little better, after all, he is his nominal father-in-law.

Li Yongning just nodded slightly, indicating that this was indeed what he meant.

Emperor Wu on the dragon throne also spoke.

"My dear ministers, your knees are really weak. The young master of the Jun family hasn't even said anything yet, but you can't help but kneel down?"

"Do you still see me as the emperor?"

The faces of the officials who had spoken just now changed, and they were embarrassed for a moment.

However, Emperor Wu did not intend to pursue the matter.

He just continued to speak: "Young Master Jun, just as those beloved ministers said just now, I think that giving all the cities including Wuyang City to the Jun family is too much of a loss for the Xuanwu Empire."

"So, I can take a step back, but the Jun family must also take a step back."

"Otherwise, I will never give you these three cities. It would be better to go to war."

Jun Lintian’s thoughts raced through his mind.

Hearing Emperor Wu's words, he just laughed softly.

"So that's how it is. Well, let's not talk about whether this negotiation will be successful for now. Emperor Wu, can you please tell us your conditions first?"

"Since you want to solve this matter in a business way, then I can also discuss business with you."

Emperor Wu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Just now, he felt that his words might have been a little too harsh.

If the Jun family really went to war with the Xuanwu Empire, the consequences can be imagined.

He quickly said: "In this way, the positions of the city lords of these three cities can be given to people from your Jun family, but they must co-govern the cities with the Xuanwu Empire." (End of this chapter)
