Chapter 250 Let’s Talk Business
Xia Yanxiang has already backed down. If Luo Xie continues to push his luck, don't blame Xia Yanxiang for not giving him face.
Luo Xie noticed the looks of the people here. Except for Li Fu, they all seemed to support Xia Yanxiang. Even if Luo Xie wanted to say something else, he couldn't.
"Since Miss San is willing to learn, then I naturally cannot say anything."
Li Guan was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat Luo Xie up, but was stopped by Xia Yanxiang.
"Okay, it's a deal."
Late at night, Xia Zhibai left Mo Chen alone.
"Hmph, how could the soldiers I led be like this?!" Xia Zhibai, who had been patient for half a night, finally couldn't help it and shouted.
Mo Yuchen was also very angry about what happened tonight, but Xia Yanxiang had her own way, so he was not worried: "General, don't be angry. General Luo doesn't know Yanyan well, so it's normal for him to question her."
"Besides, a war between two countries is indeed a big deal, so it's normal for General Luo to be more worried."
It’s not that Mo Yuchen wasn’t angry, he just understood Luo Xie’s approach.
Xia Zhibai sighed, "Luo Xie was born in a poor family and gained fame on the battlefield, so naturally he can't stand a girl like Yanyan who grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. He once vowed that he would stay in the northwest for the rest of his life and would never go to the capital to accept any vassal status."
"But General Luo shouldn't deny Yanyan's contribution just because she is a woman. This is really infuriating." Everything else is fine, but this is what Mo Yuchen can't accept the most.
Luo Xie may suspect that Xia Yanxiang does not understand military affairs, or that Xia Yanxiang cannot endure hardship, but he cannot deny her simply because she is a woman.
Xia Zhibai snorted coldly: "If Yanyan can make achievements this time, he can just keep silent. If he still wants to find excuses, don't blame me for not giving him face."
Mo Yuchen nodded in agreement.
Xia Yanxiang returned to the tent. As soon as she entered, Li Guan exploded: "What does Luo Xie mean? Huh? Why do you look down on women?!"
"Keep your voice down!" Xia Yanxiang quickly covered Li Guan's mouth. "Once you leave the military camp, there will be ears and eyes everywhere!"
Li Guan struggled twice, but Xia Yanxiang was afraid of hurting her left arm, so she didn't try too hard and she was freed in two attempts.
"I'm going to say it!" Li Guan couldn't help but say, "Why does he look down on a girl from the capital?! If you don't know a person well, why do you deny that she can do anything?"
Xia Yanxiang couldn't stop it and gave up.
Li Guan was still angrily accusing Luo Xie: "If I was transferred from somewhere else, would he look down on me too?!"
Xia Yanxiang laughed. Although Luo Xie's words sounded a bit uncomfortable, they were also the truth. Xia Yanxiang had no reason to be angry: "Forget it. Although what he said was a bit harsh, it might not be untrue."
"My brother asked me to go over. I think he must have learned from King Luo that I gave King Luo poison." Xia Yanxiang understood when she saw Mo Yuchen after she went over. "So, King Luo must have wanted me to use poison to weaken the enemy in this battle."
Although Li Guan was still angry, she stopped complaining when Xia Yanxiang spoke, and listened carefully.
After listening, Li Guan said, "I was wondering why Big Brother suddenly called you over. It turned out to be King Luo. I didn't expect King Luo to have such a unique idea. But Master can also use poison. Big Brother, why don't you use Master's method? Then Luo Xie won't say anything."
That's true. Why would her brother agree to let her interfere in this matter?
Xia Yanxiang thought about it for a while, then stopped thinking about it and urged Li Guan to change the medicine and rest.
There is no point in dwelling on these things; the most important thing right now is the war at hand.
Although the Rouran had been constantly provoking Dayong, Xia Zhibai had never ordered troops to be dispatched.
Although Xia Zhibai did not send troops, when the general came to provoke again, he sent Dongfang Xujiang out of the city to deal with the other party. Then he loudly announced to the other party on the city wall, asking for peace talks.
The Rouran now have someone backing them up, and the specific number of troops has not been obtained yet. Xia Zhibai can only take it step by step and try to delay the war through peace talks.
Although the opponent was unwilling, they were not sure they could defeat Xia Zhibai. After considering for a long time, they agreed to negotiate outside the city.
"Brother, are you sure? Are you confident about this peace talk?" Xia Yanxiang had never experienced such a thing and was very worried.
Bai Ke was helping Xia Zhibai put on armor. Xia Zhibai said, "Don't worry. Uncle is with me. This is not the first time we have negotiated with Rouran. Nothing will happen."
Xia Yanxiang was worried: "I have already told my subordinates to prepare hidden weapons and poisons around the negotiation area. If the situation is not right, we can retreat at any time."
Xia Zhibai nodded: "In another hour, we should go. Prince Luo has left someone for you. You and your aunt must be careful in the back."
Xia Yanxiang was worried that this peace talk would definitely not go smoothly, otherwise there would not have been a real fight in the previous life.
What's more, the Rouran have the support of the Darong people, which makes it even more dangerous.
After hearing what Xia Zhibai said, Xia Yanxiang did not refute but just nodded.
"Okay, we are about to set off. If you are really worried, just watch from the city wall. You should be able to see it." Xia Zhibai put on his armor, turned around and touched Xia Yanxiang's head.
There wasn't a trace of fear or lack of confidence in Xia Zhibai's eyes, as if this trip was as natural as going out to check on the military training.
Xia Zhibai took three thousand elite soldiers out of the city.
Xia Yanxiang was really worried, so she left a letter for Li Guan in the tent and then quietly changed her appearance and followed him out.
When they arrived at the place of the peace talks, Xia Zhibai recognized the other party's commander as an old acquaintance: "General Ermian, how are you?"
Opposite him was Er Mianxu, who had been confronting Xia Zhibai in the northwest for many years: "General Xia, Lord Marquis, how are you?"
Ermianxu's Chinese is better than most people's, and he doesn't even have an accent. He sounds like a native of Darong.
"It seems that General Ermian was not beaten enough by us two years ago!" Xia Zhibai and Li Fu sat down together, and their words seemed to be mocking Ermianxu.
Er Mianxu was a tall man with a full beard and a very strong build. He looked like a very impulsive person. However, after hearing what Xia Zhibai said, he did not get angry, but sat down calmly.
"General Xia, there is a saying in the Central Plains that goes, 'You should look at a man with new eyes after three days of absence.' General Xia, isn't it a bit uncivilized of the Central Plains people to say this?"
Xia Zhibai just smiled and said nothing.
Li Fu and Xia Zhibai looked at each other and said, "General Ermian, there is no need to exchange pleasantries. Let's talk business!"
