The first thousand two hundred and ninety-first chapters of the ancients
The last time he met Liu Xie, Ling Ying was shocked by Liu Xie's power. This time he came, Liu Xie suddenly guessed the purpose of the trip. Ling Ying couldn't help but feel even more nervous, but she was Gu Yuan's order from her, so she could only bite the bullet and tell Liu Xie about Gu Yuan's conditions.
Gu Yuan had a great appetite. The condition he proposed to Liu Xie was to allow the Han Dynasty to grant him one-quarter of Zhongzhou territory and the autonomy of the Gu tribe in the territory. Gu Yuan said that as long as Liu Xie could meet these requirements, the Gu tribe could surrender to the Han Dynasty. While agreeing to marry Xun'er to Liu Xie as a concubine, Gu Yuan also said that when the Han Dynasty fought with the Soul Hall, the Gu tribe was willing to help.
"Just just establishing a marriage alliance with me and submitting to the Han Dynasty, I will need one-quarter of Zhongzhou's land and autonomy. The ancient clan leader's abacus is really loud!" Liu Xie snorted coldly after hearing the conditions of the ancient clan lion's mouth.
Ling Ying was even more frightened when she saw Liu Xie’s displeasure and said hesitantly: “My clan leader said that the Xiao family also obtained the power of land and autonomy of the Gama Empire. Our ancient clan is more than dozens of times stronger than the Xiao family, and we should enjoy more privileges.”
After reposting Gu Yuan's words, looking at Liu Xie's worse expression than before, Ling Ying hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that this was the meaning of the upper class of the ancient clan, and he was just reposting it.
"Hmph!" Liu Xie slapped the table beside him with a palm and suddenly broke into pieces. "When I first arrived at the Douqi Continent, the Xiao family brought their clan members to take the initiative to join him. Xiao Yan was the first minister I accepted in the Douqi Continent. I thought about this and gave the Xiao clan such great grace."
"Besides, regardless of the richness and barrenness of the territory, just like this quarter of the map of Zhongzhou, how can it be equal to the land of the mere Gama Empire? I will not allow such a huge independent kingdom under the rule of the Han Dynasty!"
After a while, Ling Ying, who was kneeling in front of Liu Xie, was shaking like a sieve. The wrath of the Han emperor was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But in fact, Liu Xie was just angry and was not really angry with the lion of the ancient clan.
Liu Xie understood very well that his negotiations with Gu Yuan are like doing business in the same way as the market power. Whether it is the buyer or the seller, he will not explain his true reserve price to the other party at the beginning. Since Gu Yuan's lion is speaking out loud, Liu Xie will naturally raise the bargaining kitchen knife.
Looking at Ling Ying who was trembling in front of him, Liu Xie knew that his pretentious anger had just become effective, "Get up first, my anger is not aimed at you, it is really because your patriarch is a little greedy. Don't worry, I will never take my anger on others."
After hearing Liu Xie's words, Ling Ying knew that her life was safe, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She supported her soft body. Ling Ying stood up and listened to Liu Xie's conditions.
"You go back and tell your patriarch that my territory of Han will never allow the existence of the country in the middle of the country. It is impossible for the Gu tribe to occupy one-quarter of Zhongzhou. However, if he really intends to surrender, I can give you the ancient tribe the authority to exempt you from paying taxes to the court for thousands of years."
"And, I also warn you."
"Your ancient clan should not think that my great Han will not be able to defeat the Soul Hall without the Gu family. I know that the Soul Clan is also trying to win over the ancient clan. The ancient clan leader is now waiting for a price between the great Han and the Soul Hall. I also know that the so-called quarter of Zhongzhou land and autonomy are actually derived from the conditions that the Soul Clan promises you to divide the Zhongzhou land equally with the other three clans."
"Go back and tell your family leader, I advise him not to be enemies with my great Han. I hope he can understand that regardless of whether the ancient tribe is assisted, the decisive battle between my great Han and the Soul Hall will only have one result, that is, the great Han will win!"
Liu Xie walked up and patted Ling Ying on the shoulder and continued, "Don't think that it is false to give me a thousand years of exemption from tribute. If your ancient clan is in the wrong team, after the decisive battle, not only will this eighth of the Zhongzhou territory not be obtained, but your entire ancient clan will face the disaster of extermination!"
"I believe that the elders of your ancient clan know the thundering methods of our great man in the northwest of the Douqi Continent and Zhongzhou. I will always say that, and there is only one way to die for the courage to be an enemy of our great man!"
Liu Xie's statement scared Ling Ying so hard that he was sweating. He didn't expect that Liu Xie could even know the transaction between the ancient clan and the Soul Palace. This big man's intelligence network was really terrifying.
"Have you remembered what I said?" Liu Xie stood with his back to Ling Ying with his hands behind his back, turned his head to ask Ling Ying.
"I have written it down and I have to tell you what God said to my family leader without saying a word!"
"In this way, you go back."
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ling Ying bid farewell to Liu Xie, he was stopped by Liu Xie after just two steps.
"By the way, there is another thing. Remember to tell your family leader in my personal name that the affairs of the Han Dynasty and the ancient clan are state affairs, so don't mix personal feelings with state affairs. When you bargain with me, it's best not to involve Xun'er when buying. It's between me and her if Xun'er is willing to marry me. It has nothing to do with what we are planning today, and I don't want to use my relationship with Xun'er as a bargaining chip!"
"The little one has written down. I don't know what the emperor has to tell you about the amount of money. The little one can convey it to the patriarch!"
"It's really okay this time, you go."
He bowed to Liu Xie again. Ling Ying was afraid that Liu Xie would have something to explain, so she had to take a small step back towards the gate of Liu Xie's bedroom. Only after the gate of Liu Xie's bedroom did he breathe a sigh of relief, wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and turn and leave.
"Xun'er, I know you're outside. Come in and don't hide it. The cold dew is heavy, and it's not good to have your body frozen."
After Liu Xie confirmed that Ling Ying had left, he looked out the window and let Xun'er, who had been eavesdropping outside the window, come in.
"I didn't want to hide from it at first, but Mr. Ling was inside. After all, I was from the ancient clan. I always felt that I should avoid it-" Xiao Xun'er saw that Liu Xie found out that she had to move into the room from the window and explained to Liu Xie.
"Okay, I didn't blame you, come and sit down." Liu Xie asked someone to take the fragments of the table and asked someone to move a chair for Xun'er and let him sit in front of him.
"God, if our Gu family really defected to the Soul Hall, would you really destroy my Gu family?" Xun'er asked Liu Xie with a sad face.
