Chapter 352 - Truce (2)
"Alright, you have the final say, boss."
War costs money. In the end, Ning Shi withdrew his troops and did not attack the Flying Dragon City again. Instead, he retreated back to Phoenix City.
The books were delivered. If they had to take the money to return to Phoenix City, they would have to exchange it for their money. Otherwise, they would not be able to return the money to Phoenix City.
Actually, that city wasn't that important to State Jiang. What was important was how much State Beizhou was willing to exchange for two.
Such shameless and shameless behavior was simply shameless. Bai Ze was calmly reading the peace book. The silver on this book is only useful if someone is to be sent to the west capital to take a look at the Emperor. Right now, it is unrealistic for the Flying Dragon City to go and take it back to Phoenix City.
The Sovereign King of State Jiang was waiting for Ning Shi to obtain the good news of Flying Dragon City's victory. The Sovereign King of State Beizhou was waiting for Bai Ze and the others to seize the good news of Phoenix City.
Neither of the two princes had achieved their desired goal. Instead, their subordinate had given them such an answer.
"One hundred thousand gold!" Why don't they just snatch it! " The new emperor swept all the petitions on the desk to the ground.
"The eunuch carefully dodged them. Some of them came closer and bent down to pick up all the memorials." Your majesty, you are the emperor. Take care of your dragon body! "
The new emperor spat, "Dragon body my ass! 100,000 gold! How can I give! For the sake of such a single Phoenix City, all of the money that the Kingdom's treasury has just saved up has been handed over.
Indeed, since he had just ascended the throne, he had to spend money in many places. Without money, it was hard to even take a single step, and it was the same for the emperor.
"Your majesty, isn't this the second letter? Let's open it and take a look. There might be a chance." The chief eunuch saw that there was still a turning point.
emperor looked up. "Finally, he opened it himself." Abandoning Phoenix City, or sending troops to continue attacking and taking them back to Phoenix City. If they were to transfer troops, they would definitely be lacking in other places. Recruiting soldiers and horses would cost a lot of money. It's not like Phoenix City being taken away by State Jiang again! " emperor was so angry that his teeth were itching.
He wasn't willing to give up on him, nor was he willing to give up on him. He couldn't afford to take out the money now, and fighting war was a waste of money as well. The hundred thousand taels of silver was a lot more than the hundred thousand taels of silver he had to spend on recruiting soldiers and horses.
"Since they like Phoenix City, let them have it. We really don't lack this little money." Although those words were said, he was still unwilling to let him draw up an edict.
Of course the Chief Eunuch could see the hesitation in emperor's heart.
"Your majesty, don't worry. The people of Dawn won't blame you."
The emperor: "…" His heart became even more complicated.
The eunuch replied, "It's all left over from the Supreme Emperor's past. You don't have to blame yourself too much, the people definitely won't blame you."
"This reason gave the emperor a very good chance." "An edict!" His words were resolute and decisive.
This saved him a lot of money. After the emperor's edict ended, he continued, "We will definitely take back the Flying Dragon City."
"The Emperor's Dragon might is in the heavens. He will definitely succeed!"
"This flattery clearly hit the heart of the emperor." "Let's go down." It was not early, and he had read almost all of the memorials today. Now, he stretched his body and prepared to go to bed.
Both sides stopped fighting, and by the time they had obtained the emperor's decree, it was already autumn. Bai Ze followed the emperor's orders and gave him the truce letter that she had prepared.
There was a truce between the two sides. For at least ten years, both sides would stick to the principle of peaceful development. There would be no conflicts between them, and they would not fight. It would be wise, so to speak, to promote long-term economic development.
Qiu Jinzhi looked at the challenge letter, it was at least ten times better than the truce letter.
"Before leaving, Qiu Jinzhi pulled Bai Ze back. Can you bring me along? " His face was much better now, but if one looked closely, they could still see the shallow marks on it.
Bai Ze laughed: "What are you doing here?"
"I want to take you home with me." Qiu Jinzhi said this very carefully.
But this time, Zheng Li was very enlightened. You can rest assured that I will stay in the camp and guard it properly. Leave everything to me! I'm in the city! "
The two of them looked at Zheng Li. Why is this person still so … Interesting.
Qiu Jinzhi also patted Zheng Li's robe and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely return safely."
Once they met, the two of them would like to chatter non-stop. After parting ways, the two of them would chat for a long time. Bai Ze sat on the horse and watched the two of them reluctantly leave.
"In the end, I got really impatient." "Let's go." She turned her horse to indicate that it was time to go.
Qiu Jinzhi mounted his horse and chased after them.
Zheng Li stood where he was and watched as the horse chased after him. Suddenly, a scene flashed in his mind. I remember! Isn't that the woman from the royal father painting? " The scene of him wearing a military uniform with a rabbit in his arms.
He stood where he was and watched as Qiu Jinzhi left. In his mind, he saw more and more details of the painting and Qiu Jinzhi was also wearing a red cape.
In every form of the world, there would always be a face or two that looked especially similar. Their destinies would always be completely different.
I heard that Xuanyuan Rong was once a Martial Immortal of Liang Country. After the destruction of the Liangguo, they were on their way down the slope.
The current Ning Shi was just like the Xuanyuan Rong of back then, arrogant and self-confident. They were invincible and invincible. If there was a day when Ning Shi was no longer here, would there be a day when the State Jiang could not be compared to Xuanyuan Rong's footsteps?
Zheng Li didn't know, but this thought had merely appeared in his mind for a moment. After closing the city gate, Zheng Li shook his head, feeling that he was overthinking it.
