Chapter 16 - Still Negotiating for Peace

Only rumbling sounds could be heard in the palace, and outside Kaifeng City, the earth was violently shaking!

Snow was drifting about, and even at night, he could see very far. That night, countless citizens outside the Kaifeng City looked into the distance in fear!

A black line appeared in the distance. It was this black line that caused the earth to tremble! The black line was getting closer and closer to the Kaifeng City, and gradually, one could see endless cavalry! If one was closer, they would be able to see that these cavalry soldiers were dressed strangely. They were all bald, and only the back of their heads was covered by an abnormally ugly braid of money! Although their appearance was ugly to the extreme, their bodies were abnormally strong! Everyone's body was dark, their muscles bulging. They held sharp blades in their hands while carrying huge bows on their backs! These were the standard attire of Nvzhen, and the army in front of him was the female True Steel Cavalry that had roamed unparalleled in the world for ten years!

"Open, open!" In front of us is Kaifeng! " Wanyan Zonghan's face was full of excitement as he laughed out loud!

"Marshal, we have finally arrived at Kaifeng City! In these few hundred kilometers, we actually did not encounter any Song Army, and our path was unhindered! " Wanyan Loushi, who was beside Wanyan Zonghan, also laughed out loud.

"Thank you, Mr Yunzi!" Wanyan Zonghan looked at a scholar beside him, and said with a face full of gratitude.

"No need to be polite, our goals are the same! I will also use your hands to destroy Song! " Free and Unrestrained Child still had a dashing look on his face! He rode his horse all the way, day and night, but there wasn't even a speck of dust on his body. This was because his martial arts was too high, and he had already reached the Xiantian Full Circle realm, the true energy in his body permeated his entire body, and before any dirt or dust could come into contact with his body, it had already been bounced far away! This was the highest realm of martial arts. In this world, there were only three to five people who had reached this realm!

Ordinary people would not be able to comprehend this realm, but Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi were both experts at the pinnacle of Nvzhen, so they were naturally able to comprehend this realm! All along the way, their bodies were covered in dirt and dust, and in their hearts, they had already admired the carefree child to the extreme!

"Sir, we will attack today! "With the strength of our female army, we can break the seal within a few days!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"We don't need to attack now!" Sayoko shook her head.

"We are already under the city, why didn't we attack?" Wanyan Zonghan said in shock.

"We're still negotiating!" Free and Unrestrained Child said.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi were both stunned. To negotiate was originally meant to numb the Great Song Dynasty, the so-called "warm water to boil the frog" was only that, but now that they have successfully arrived at the Kaifeng City, why should they continue negotiating? Wouldn't this be a waste of time?

"Firstly, His Highness Second Crown Prince has not come to the Kaifeng City. With the strength of the Great Marshal, it will be difficult for him to defeat Kai Feng. After all, Kai Feng is the biggest and strongest city in the Great Song Dynasty! Secondly, we can still use negotiation to numb the Great Song Dynasty's government, and make them think that the reason we came to the city is to negotiate, is because of the conditions they promised us! to let the Kaifeng City's Imperial Guards relax! "

"Yes sir!" Wanyan Zonghan nodded.

"One more thing, if marshal were to defeat the Kaifeng City, would you like to loot and rob?" Free and Unrestrained Child said.

"Of course! We have long heard that the Kaifeng City is the wealthiest place in the world, and we have spent so much effort coming here from the north, how can we not plunder? " Wanyan Zonghan said without the slightest bit of shame.

"Why should we do it ourselves?" The carefree child laughed.

"Oh?" Wanyan Zonghan was startled, he did not quite understand what the panacea child meant.

"We will negotiate with them and have the imperial government of the Song Dynasty plunder all the gold and silver in the Kaifeng City. Wouldn't that mean we don't have to do anything ourselves? If we act ourselves, the citizens of the Kaifeng City will still resist, and then we will still have casualties, this is not good! Marshal, do you know about Yere's law's De Guang? " Free and Unrestrained Child said.

"Of course I know that the Yere's law is De Guang. He is the second emperor of the Liao Country, a hero of his generation. The Yan Yun Sixteen Prefectures was snatched from the hands of the Han Chinese!" Wanyan Zonghan said.

"In the past, Yere's law De Guang once fought his way south all the way to Kaifeng City, just like the current Jin Army!" Free and Unrestrained Child said.

"Oh!" Wanyan Zonghan nodded, he looked at the free and easy son, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"But unfortunately, Yere's law De Guang has allowed his troops to rob everywhere! The Kaifeng City is the largest city under the heavens, and with a million citizens, the citizens have to resist! Half of the young soldiers of the Liao Country died due to the resistance of the citizens, so they had no choice but to withdraw from the Kaifeng City! Originally, Yere's law was just about to use Kaifeng City as the capital! So, right now I suggest that we make peace, and let the Great Song Dynasty government take away all the gold and silver of its citizens and give them to us obediently, isn't that good? " Free and Unrestrained Child said.

"So there was actually such a thing!" Wanyan Zonghan suddenly realized.

A gust of wind blew from the north, stirring the son's clothes! He was already over 40 years old, but the feeling he gave off was still that cool and unrestrained, as if he was a peerless young master! At this moment, when he looked at Kaifeng City in front of him, his eyes were filled with cold laughter!

"Zhao Kuangyin, you stole my Jiang Shan! You didn't think that your Great Song Dynasty would have such a day, right? "Now, not only must your Zhao Clan disciples be annihilated, I must also make your Zhao Clan disciples suffer the humiliation of death before they die, and leave behind an eternal curse!" The boy thought to himself.

The female true army had come to Kai Feng, and Kaifeng City was truly shocked this time!

The people of Kaifeng City were hiding in their own homes, not daring to come out! On the surface, it was not as chaotic as the previous incident! Last time, many people wanted to escape, but this time, the Kaifeng City Sect was sealed tight, so no one could escape now! Not to mention that the female barbarian army was right outside. Who would dare to go out?

The Song Dynasty's imperial court was initially terrified, but that morning, the female True Envoy entered the Kaifeng City! Other than the female True Envoy, Li Bangyan, who was sent to bargain with the Nvzhen, also returned!

Song Chin Zong called for Li Bangyan at the Funing Hall.

"Li Aiqing, is the Nvzhen not attacking the city?" The moment Li Bangyan stepped into the hall, the Song Chin Zong asked immediately.

"No, they just want to negotiate! Our gold and silver could not be sent up, so they came to Kaifeng City to ask for money! " Li Bangyan said.

"This... "This..." For a moment, Song Chin Zong's face was covered in tears. As long as the Nvzhen was not attacking the city, he would be at ease! He had already decided that as long as they reached an agreement, no matter what the conditions were, he would agree to accept the Nvzhen!

"The heavens will not kill my Song Dynasty!" After a long while, the Song Chin Zong sighed.

"Your Majesty, Nvzhen said, that ten million gold, twenty million silver, and ten million silk, not a single one can be missing! "Only after all the treasures have been given away can they retreat!" Li Bangyan said.

"Your Majesty, there are a million citizens in Kaifeng City! Right now, the Jin Army was surrounding Kai Feng, everyone should contribute, everyone should donate their treasures! If the Jin Army goes away, it will benefit all of the citizens of the Kaifeng City! " Li Bangyan said loudly.

"This …" Song Chin Zong hesitated for a moment.

"Your Majesty, do not hesitate! He could only protect the land and land of the land and return it to the commoners! If he did not do so now, the Heavenly Land of the Rivers and Mountains would fall! When the Nvzhen enters Kaifeng, the gold and silver wealth belonging to the common people would belong to the Nvzhen! " Li Bangyan said.

"You're right!" However, this is an important matter and should be discussed with the officials! " Song Chin Zong said.

Immediately, Song Chin Zong summoned his officials to discuss the matter. Other than Li Gang and a few others, who disagreed, the ministers in the imperial court all agreed to take gold and silver from the 100 families of the Kaifeng City to meet the needs of the Nvzhen!

That night, the Expeditionary soldiers broke into the homes of ordinary citizens and began to rob their belongings.

The entire Kaifeng City was thrown into chaos once again, and cries filled every inch of the place!

"It's a pity that I'm only a ten-year old crown prince. I have no authority whatsoever! When the enemy oppressed the territory and the imperial government did not deal with the enemy, they actually oppressed their citizens! There are one million and five hundred thousand citizens in the Kaifeng City. If we were to spread our weapons and let the citizens resist the Jin Army, the Jin Army only has a hundred thousand. Deep in the night, Zhao Chen could not fall asleep no matter what. He looked out the window and clenched his fists!

"Your Highness, it's been a mess outside for the past few days!" Those eunuchs and maids who were running about randomly could still hear the distant weeping. What has happened? " Little San'er, who was standing at the side, asked curiously.

"Nothing!" The public had stolen it in the past few days. As a result, thieves were being caught in the palace! "You must not go out. If you are found out, I'm afraid you are just a thief, and that is the only punishment I can ask of you!" Zhao Chen said.

"This... "This..." Little San'er was startled and her whole body trembled.

Little San'er naturally knew what kind of punishment this Ling Chi was in. The flesh on his body was being cut off piece by piece, it was definitely the most painful!

"Don't worry, Crown Prince. I will never go out!" Little San'er hurriedly said.

"That's good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

It was already November 3rd, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the city that night. Wanyan Zongwang had arrived! The two armies finally reunited, a total of a hundred thousand Steel Cavalry galloping unhindered under the Kaifeng City, the Nvzhen's cheerful laughter could be heard everywhere.

On this day, the first batch of gold and silver from Song Dynasty was delivered out of the city. Nvzhen was even happier after getting the gold and silver, there was no need to say anything more!

Almost every day for the next few days, gold and silver were delivered without end! On the other hand, more and more people were crying in Kaifeng City. Who knew how many families had fallen?

Zhao Chen continued to train with Wang De every day, but on this day, when he came to scenic garden, he saw a trace of anxiousness on Wang De's face.
