Chapter 344

"Hahaha!"

"This General was just joking with Lord Gao. Peace talks between two countries should be elegant; how can we dance with swords and spears?"

"If this gets out, wouldn't it make other countries laugh!"

"Quick, put them all away!"

Chu Qingluan's cold voice fell, and Chu Tianfeng also spoke up.

His face carried a smile to cover up his embarrassment.

This Living Yama is truly a ruthless person, carrying such things on him—how can one turn against him?

Chu Kuang also put away his broadsword, a smile appearing on his face.

Seeing this, Gao Yang also closed his robes and sat down.

"These words are reasonable. Peace talks between two countries should be elegant. Everyone is not a boorish person, so naturally, we cannot be impulsive."

"But Great Chu's conditions, Da Qian has absolutely no possibility of accepting. This kind of sky-high compensation, this official cannot agree to, and the Emperor will absolutely not agree either."

Chu Qingluan sat down, and she also spoke, "But Lord Gao, Da Qian's conditions, Great Chu cannot accept even more."

"There is no reason in the world for the attacking side to pay compensation."

For a time, the tone of the peace talks between the two sides became normal.

Since neither side is easy to provoke, they can only talk properly.

On the walls of Changancheng.

Wu Zhao was just about to give the order to send Gao Tianlong with elite cavalry to support Gao Yang.

But immediately after, a strange scene appeared.

I saw both sides sitting down again, looking from afar as if they were talking happily, without the slightest atmosphere of swords being drawn.

Wu Zhao was stunned for a moment.

"What's the situation?"

"Showing off their swords to see whose is sharper?"

Lu Wen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this official said long ago that this must be the 'cannot help themselves' of talking happily."

"It is very reasonable for both sides to talk until they draw their broadswords!"

Wu Zhao: "..."

But she also waved her hand and did not give the order.

This scene completely baffled her.

"..."

Inside the pavilion.

Both sides sat down again and began friendly peace talks.

"Great Chu's troops are at the gates. If we are to have peace talks, Da Qian must pay compensation. How about this: to show sincerity, all the conditions I mentioned earlier will be halved."

"But Da Qian must compensate within one day, otherwise our army can fight to the death for Changancheng above, and occupy the Longguan area below, dragging the war out."

"How about that?"

Chu Qingluan took the lead in lowering the conditions.

Gao Yang revealed a smile.

In fact, only now did it truly enter his rhythm.

But from this contact, he knew clearly that relying on fake peace talks to stall Chu Qingluan was almost impossible.

"Forget it, this official won't beat around the bush anymore. I might as well say it directly: Da Qian's Changancheng is not afraid of Great Chu attacking at all!"

"Inside my Changancheng, there are one hundred thousand troops!"

"There is a city full of excrement!"

"There are one hundred thousand thunder-bombs!"

"There are thousands of powerful dynamite bags!"

"Da Qian, there was no need for peace talks in the first place!"

Following these words, the expressions of all the generals behind Chu Qingluan changed. They clearly didn't expect Changancheng to be so terrifying.

Chu Qingluan, however, smiled, "Lord Gao, this Princess is not a fool. The stock of hand grenades shouldn't be much, right?"

"If there really were one hundred thousand hand grenades and one hundred thousand troops, Da Qian would not only not have peace talks, but wouldn't even defend the city; you would have raided our army camp at night and could have gone out of the city to fight directly, blowing my one hundred thousand troops into the sky!"

"At that time, as Lord Gao said earlier, you would have crushed our army outside the city. Never mind these one hundred thousand troops and one million taels of silver, even this Princess would be at Lord Gao's disposal."

Gao Yang laughed and glanced at Chu Qingluan.

He had been attacking her heart for so long, but he didn't expect he still hadn't bluffed Chu Qingluan.

This woman is indeed not simple.

But this point, he certainly couldn't admit.

"The Second Princess wants to extract information from this official; that is naturally impossible. But this official tells the Second Princess very clearly: the Chu army cannot take Changancheng."

"And if it drags on, the Chu Kingdom will face a disaster. Compensating some money now is not a bad thing for the Second Princess."

Chu Qingluan was almost angered into laughter.

Her Chu Kingdom will face a disaster?

"Lord Gao, where does this come from? How could my Great Chu have a disaster?"

Not to mention Chu Qingluan, even Shangguan Wan'er and Cui Xinghe were bewildered.

Great Chu has a disaster?

They had strange expressions, but they tried hard to cooperate with Gao Yang's performance.

Gao Yang tapped his fingers on the table, "Since the Second Princess knows this official's strategy of cutting off the water, this is enough to prove that the Second Princess knows Da Qian very well!"

"Then the Second Princess should also know Zhao Gao, right?"

"A few days ago, the Emperor issued a decree encouraging everyone in Da Qian to wear Zhao Gao. You must know that this Zhao Gao is a specialty of the Zhao Kingdom, with complex craftsmanship and an extremely expensive price."

"With Da Qian's financial resources, it has allowed the Zhao Kingdom to make a fortune."

"Does the Second Princess know why this is?"

Gao Yang revealed a confident smile, his face unfathomable.

Chu Qingluan frowned tightly.

She was completely baffled.

But she really did know about this Zhao Gao matter.

"Lord Gao, what does this mean?"

"Could it be that there is another mystery to this Zhao Gao?"

Gao Yang smiled and continued to bluff. ===== CHAPTER 346 =====
