Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Of course, this requires a long process.

But everything has to start somewhere, and now is the best time.

So rationally, Haitang Duoduo could not refute Li Chengyuan.

But emotionally, Haitang Duoduo really doesn't want to be an enemy of Li Chengyuan.

So she is now feeling very complicated and in a very bad mood.

Li Chengyuan was right next to Haitang Duoduo and could clearly feel the change in Haitang Duoduo's mood.

He could guess what Haitang Duoduo was thinking without asking.

Li Chengyuan smiled slightly, and suddenly moved closer to Haitang Duoduo, and asked in a low voice: "Duoduo, do you know why Lili can easily deal with me and Qiguo?"

"Why?" Haitang Duoduo immediately turned around and asked.

Li Chengyuan said gently, "Because Lili and I have an agreement that personal feelings and national affairs should be discussed separately and not mixed up.

For example, as the saint of Qi, when the country needs you, you can serve the country.

Even if you and I meet on the battlefield in the future, it will be in the national interest and will not affect our personal friendship.

So you don't need to worry about these things at all.

Everyone has his own destiny, and every country has its own destiny!

You alone cannot control the fate of the entire Qi State!

So just do your own thing and have a clear conscience, and leave the rest to God!"

"Who says I can't influence the fate of Qi?" Haitang Duoduo suddenly turned around and said to Li Chengyuan fiercely, "I'll go back now and ask my master to come out of the mountains and take you back to do hard labor. I'll make sure you can never come out and harm others again in your life. That way, won't I be able to save Qi?"

Li Chengyuan said with certainty: "You won't do that!"

"How do you know I can't?" Haitang Duoduo snorted.

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "Because you are Haitang Duoduo, because we are friends, and Haitang Duoduo would never betray her friends!"

"......." Haitang Duoduo's expression froze, and then she sighed in frustration. "Oh, you really are... so annoying!"

Li Chengyuan smiled slightly, then took out a piece of cake from the jade mirror and handed it to Haitang Duoduo, saying, "Sweets can make people happy. Want to try it?"

Haitang Duoduo turned around and took a look at the milky white cake, which actually had strawberry pulp on it.

She licked her lips, but couldn't help herself and reached out to take it.

"Hmph, don't think you can buy me off with a piece of cake!

I tell you, if you dare to cause trouble in Shangjing City, I will personally capture you and send you to the mountains to do hard labor!"

After saying that, Haitang Duoduo licked a piece of cake and showed a satisfied expression.

Then at the fork in the road, he and Li Chengyuan parted ways.

Seeing this, Li Chengyuan said helplessly, "Duoduo, you still haven't told me when the literary meeting between the two countries will start?"

"Half a month later!"

"What about Yan Bingyun?"

"Go ask Shen Zhong yourself!"

"..."

Li Chengyuan shook his head. He knew things would turn out like this!

But Li Chengyuan was not worried.

He was familiar with the plot and had already made various response plans.

The current situation is still under his control.

Looking up, Li Chengyuan saw Shen Zhong not far in front of him on the left, probably waiting for him.

Seeing this, Li Chengyuan walked straight over.

"Master Shen!"

When Li Chengyuan came closer, he took the initiative to say hello.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King of Tang!"

When Shen Zhong heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Li Chengyuan, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Well! Lord Shen, you're welcome!" Li Chengyuan smiled and put his hand on Shen Zhong's shoulder. As he walked towards the royal villa, he said, "After talking with your Majesty just now, I realized that Lord Shen is actually very powerful in the court of Qing Kingdom. It was I who underestimated Lord Shen before. Please forgive me, Lord Shen!"

Shen Zhong looked at the hand on his shoulder, his expression unchanged, and replied humbly, "Your Highness, that's too serious. I'm just a person who does dirty work. How dare I say I have all the power in the court?"

······Requesting flowers····

That's all because our Majesty is young and ignorant, Your Highness, please don't believe it!"

"Really?" Li Chengyuan asked in surprise. "But from the tone of Lord Shen, it really seems like he has all the power in the court! Otherwise, which minister would dare to criticize his own emperor so brazenly?"

Shen Zhong's expression changed slightly, but he immediately smiled again and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. How dare I criticize Your Majesty? I am only speaking the truth!"

"Speaking the truth!" Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to get involved in your Qi State's affairs.

Lord Shen, we have arrived in the capital now.

I want to know, when can we exchange prisoners?

Don't you want Sean?

How about this, you give me Yan Bingyun now, and I'll immediately hand Xiao En over to your Jinyiwei? "

"This..." Shen Zhong said apologetically, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. We in Northern Qi have strict rules and regulations, and the relevant procedures are complicated.

So if Your Highness wants Yan Bingyun, you have to wait for two days.

But rest assured, Your Highness, we will definitely return Yan Bingyun to you before Your Highness returns to Northern Qi!"

Li Chengyuan frowned and said, "From what Lord Shen said, you don't want to return Yan Bingyun to us anytime soon?"

Shen Zhong remained calm and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that the procedures are complicated. After all, we in Qi have our own rules. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

"Ha!" Li Chengyuan laughed out loud. "Master Shen, are you saying that we Qing people have no manners?"

Shen Zhong quickly apologized, "I dare not. Your Highness is overthinking it!"

Li Chengyuan snorted and said, "Master Shen, if you do this, then we will have no choice but to hold Sean back!"

Shen Zhong smiled and said, "Your Highness, please feel free to do as you please. We are not in a hurry. We are confident that Sean is with you!"

....................

Li Chengyuan rolled his eyes secretly.

Sean Shenzhong must be at ease with him.

After all, Sean had been imprisoned in Qing for twenty years, so Qi was naturally not in a hurry.

But every day Yan Bingyun is detained is a day longer, which means he is in danger!

So Shen Zhong is now fearless.

Because Qi State dared to give up Sean, but Qing State did not dare to give up Yan Bingyun!

Li Chengyuan had anticipated this outcome, so he was not annoyed, but just emphasized it to Shen Zhong.

"Sir Shen, since you said so, I will remind you again.

It is clearly written in the agreement between our two countries that we will exchange your country's Sean for our country's Yan Bingyun!

So, I will never release Sean without seeing Yan Bingyun!"

Shen Zhong smiled faintly and said, "Of course, Your Highness, don't worry. We won't force Xiao En to take Yan Bingyun unless we return him to you!"

Li Chengyuan was waiting for this sentence, and nodded lightly:

"Okay! Since Lord Shen said so, I will naturally give you face!"

As Li Chengyuan was speaking, he suddenly discovered that the royal villa in front was surrounded by people.

Then people continued to line up and throw weapons at the gate of the villa.

Seeing this, Li Chengyuan frowned and asked, "Master Shen, what does this mean?"

Shen Zhong took a look and explained hurriedly, "Your Highness, please forgive me. This is what happened. I don't know who leaked part of the agreement between the two countries. Then, when the people of Shangjing learned that our country was going to cede land, they became very angry.

Although the common people dared not do anything, the young princes and nobles of our Qi State were all so loyal and courageous that they could not help but spontaneously come to challenge you, hoping to avenge their previous humiliation!

Li Chengyuan said speechlessly: "You guys don't care about this?"

Shen Zhong said with a helpless expression: "Your Highness, please forgive me. These people all have strong backgrounds. If it were just one or two, I could still take care of them.

But with so many people together, even His Majesty can't do anything about them.

Therefore, I have to inconvenience Your Highness... Of course, Your Highness, don't worry, they only dare to make trouble outside the door, and no one dares to rush in and cause trouble.

If anyone dares to rush into the royal compound and disturb the envoys, I will arrest him and bring him to justice!"

Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart.

Shen Zhong's words sounded high-sounding, but in fact he just wanted to make fun of him.

Although these noble children did not dare to rush into the royal villa, they could block the door and curse at the Qing Kingdom delegation.

If the Qing Kingdom delegation continues to remain silent, the reputation of the Qing Kingdom will be ruined.

By then, you will definitely be labeled as a coward.

Once the Qing delegation recognizes this title, it will greatly satisfy the vanity of the people of Qi, and will also minimize the negative impact of Qi's ceding of land in the agreement between the two countries on the people of Qi!

And if Qing Kingdom accepted the challenge, then with so many people taking turns to challenge, it would definitely be enough to give Qing Kingdom a hard time.

By then, the entire delegation would probably be preoccupied with this matter and would have no energy to do anything else.

It can be said that Qi’s move was quite insidious, and it killed two birds with one stone!

I don’t know if this is what Zhan Doudou came up with!

Li Chengyuan shook his head, then ignored Shen Zhong and walked straight forward towards the gate of the courtyard!

Chapter 196: A life-or-death agreement signed in front of the delegation! Li Chengyuan confesses his love to Nangong Pushe?

"What are you shouting?"
