No one dared to speak in the tent. When Xuanye lowered his head, everyone would quietly look at the table in front of him. There was a letter on the table that had just been delivered. Since the letter was delivered, the King of England has been grimly faced and said nothing.

After a long time, Xuanye raised his head and said, "It's all gone, it's all gone, Sony and Fuquan stay, and the rest retreat."

It is not surprising that Xuanye left his most trusted minister, but it is also a bit puzzled. After all, in the past few years, Fuquan has rarely participated in military and political affairs. The reason is that after the establishment of the Siberian grassland in New Manchuria, Xuanye married several women and soon had a son. Fuquan's crown prince was originally just a backup, but after Xuanye's son was born, he immediately became very embarrassed. Fuquan, who was wandering in the high-level circle of New Manchuria, quickly wrote a letter to himself to remove the status of the crown prince and became an idle prince.

The generals looked at each other, but they all carefully restrained their curiosity and walked out.

When Xuanye saw that the person had been exposed, he handed the letter to Fuquan and said, "This is the father's handwritten letter!"

Fuquan took it, but did not dismantle it, but said, "Brother, my father has also sent a lot of letters in recent years..."

Under the operation of the Security Bureau, Fulin's letters were often delivered to New Manchuria, most of which were public, and many were delivered through secret channels. It was precisely because Fuquan was intercepted and contacted the capital privately that Fuquan completely lost his authority and trust. Xuanye signaled him to see Sony and explained: "This time, the father went to Kobdo in person and was rushing to Ulan Usu. Dongfan asked for peace talks and proposed that he could meet his father."

After hearing this, Fuquan immediately opened the letter and read the letter. In addition to the brief greetings, he only said two things. One was to persuade Xuanye to negotiate with the empire, and the second was much more determined, and he clearly stated that he should not seek a marriage, and hoped to marry the empire's eldest princess. In the letter, he said bluntly that this was the way to die, and he could only provoke a war with the empire.

"It seems that the imperial negotiations are very sincere this time." Fuquan said carefully, seeing Xuanye's face unhappy, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Sony is very capable and said directly: "Prince, there are three questions that you have to decide now. Should you talk or not? To talk in secret or openly? Who will meet the Supreme Emperor?"

Xuanye nodded. He was also worried about this matter. Last year, when the Imperial Army was defeated in Urhe, Xuanye quickly asked for negotiations, taking advantage first and then seeking peace, and trying to seek a favorable situation. But now after Tarbachtai was defeated and going to the negotiating table, it is beneficial to the empire. If you want to take advantage, you can only fight again, but the situation and morale of the army are not on your side.

But no matter what, the talk still needs to be discussed. If your side is beneficial, it is very appropriate to openly discuss, but this time it is already at a disadvantage, so it is not appropriate to discuss it publicly.

"Although the situation is unfavorable, we have achieved our goal in Dongfan's willingness to negotiate. In order to ensure the morale of the army, it is better to negotiate secretly. Sony, I only trust you in this kind of thing. Are you willing to go?" Xuanye said for a moment.

Sony immediately knelt down: "After the emperor's order, I am willing to go through fire and water!"

"Fuquan, my father has come from thousands of miles away, and after all, I still want to see his son. I can't go. You are my only brother. You should accompany Sony to Ulan Usu and meet my father." Xuanye looked at Fuquan and said.

Fuquan was slightly stunned, with a happy face, and soon sad, and lowered his head and asked, "Brother, then what should I do when I see my father say, what should I do?"

Xuanye stood up, walked out from behind the table, held Fuquan's hand and said, "Fuquan, you are my brother. At this time, we just started talking. In fact, you are tired of your current life, right? The bitter cold and barrenness of the Siberian grassland make you at a loss. From where we retreated, you tried to escape. In the past few years, you secretly contacted Dongfan and tried to represent the Qing Dynasty to Moscow, and they all wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, right?"

Seeing that Xuanye had spoken out, he knew that there was no way out and denying it was useless, so he simply said: "Brother, you are right. As the descendant of Aisin Gioro, I can't stand the suffering, but I am really desperate. We threw away the Central Plains, the land of our ancestors, and were driven to this bitter and cold land from Mobei. In the east, a powerful central power, such a country will not give us any chance for at least fifty years. Even if we have the chance, it is your chance! My brother, who has been the crown prince, will not be reused even if I am loyal!

Here I am a puppet, and I am the same when I went to Beijing or Moscow. Why do I have to be a puppet in a damp and dirty tent, not a warm and comfortable house?”

"Prince, are you crazy? You're talking nonsense like this!" Sony shouted to stop him.

Fuquan pushed Sony away and shouted: "I'm not crazy. I'm awake than ever. I'm not angry! In fact, the letter from my father and the news I have received over the years are enough to show that the Han people have not killed us. Even the father has not killed us, and there is no ban. Why do I still insist? Brother, you are the emperor, you still have hope. I, I don't even have hope. I admit that... I can't compare to the emperor's brother, but............

Forget it, I won’t say it anymore. I have to kill and cut it. I will deal with it with the emperor. Oh, this is a failure in my life......"

At the end, Fuquan was already sitting on the ground, looking desperate. But Xuanye did not look angry at all, and said calmly: "Ten days later, in ten days later, Fuquan, you can accompany Sony to Ulan Usu."

"Your Majesty, if it is a secret negotiation, it is better to do it as soon as possible. Dongfan will not keep it a secret for us, and the prince may not be required to accompany you." Sony whispered.

Xuanye shook his head and said, "In ten days, I will need ten days to bring Fuquan's family from the north. Fuquan, go to Ulan Usu to bring your wife and children. Don't come back if you go. You are right. You are all puppets. Where to go is not to do it. Our lineage in Aisin Gioro cannot be cut off in my hands."

"You... are you really willing to let me and my family go to the empire?" Fuquan was incredulous and held Xuanye's hand tightly.

Xuanye Zheng pointed his head and said, "Do you do me a favor. Half a month ago, I received the news that Nara gave birth to a son for me, but she died of dysfunction. Her sister is your concubine. She just gave birth to a daughter for you. From now on, my son Chengqing is your concubine. Take him with you and let him live."

When Fuquan heard this, he was stunned on the spot. Xuanye said, "I don't know if my career can be successful, but I don't want to let my descendants. Please give me this matter to you, Fuquan."

"Brother, I will guarantee to celebrate Qingqingquan." Fuquan responded seriously.

Xuanye continued: "If our peace talks are successful, I will tell our fellow tribes that you are willing to go to the capital to be hostages for peace. If the peace talks fail, I can only declare you a shameless traitor. Do you understand, Fuquan."

"Brother, I am very considerate, thank you for your grace." Fuquan said in tears.

Ulan Usu.

Sony and Fuquan, disguised as merchants, came into contact with scouts from the Western Expedition Army in the Urhe area. After informing their identities, they were escorted to the Ulan Usu camp by a cavalry. The Guanxi appeasement general Chen Ping, the emperor's special envoy Chang Ade, etc. were already waiting in front of the camp gate. There was also a cavalry lined up two teams by the road. Sony and Fuquan rode on horseback, and were very envious of these majestic and heroic knights.

This is the Qiexue Camp, which is composed of the nobles or shooters carefully selected from Mongolian, Jurchen, Manchu and other tribes under the Lifan Yuan. The golden helmet was tied with a white horse's mane, a big red cloak, a silver armor, a bow with a waist and a double gun, a bronze sabre shining with light, and the solid-color war horse riding was black or white, and it was very heroic.

The Cyxue Camp is affiliated with the imperial guards and stationed in Jingcheng and Shenjing for many years, specializing in guarding the Sulu Ding and as a royal guard of ceremonies. This is the Mongol Khan who deserves his rank, but the emperor of the empire was also Tian Khan, and this Cyxue Camp is the representative of imperial power.

The excellent war horses and equipment originated from the empire's trust in these alien soldiers. The fortitude in their eyes shows that they are not fancy. What makes Sony feel most uncomfortable is that he saw an expression on these ancient faces - pride! Pride for being a member of the Imperial Army, all of these prove that each division has completely returned to the empire.

After arriving at the camp gate, Chen Ping asked, "What is in the car?"

They were two vehicles covered with felt cloth, and I couldn't see what was inside. Fuquan, who was a fake pawn, quickly said: "I am Fuquan, the son of Zen Master Wuse. The car is full of my women and children. I hope you don't disturb them."

Pei Yuanqi had already stepped forward and opened the curtain. Seeing a few frightened women inside holding the children, he heard Fuquan say this and said, "Do you want to suffocate them to death? Take them to the camp quickly and get some water to clean them, and have food and drinks. What should you do? Can you serve them? Go and find some women, a group of idiots."

"Okay, everyone should go to the camp first, Fuquan, don't worry, your women and children will be taken care of. If you are not at ease, you can settle with them first and then go to business." Chen Ping said bluntly when he saw Fuquan was worried.

Fuquan was not polite: "Is it really OK?"

Chen Ping nodded and said to Pei Yuanqi: "Yuanqi, I'll leave it to you to settle down. Please settle down with Zen Master Wuse. By the way, Lord Sony, your son Soetu is here, and he can meet you too."

After meeting in Mobei, Soetu didn't see his son for several years. He missed him very much, but he was in official business and had to determine the preliminary negotiations today. Sony said: "Let's talk about the main business first."

Chen Ping was not surprised and pointed at Chang Adaye, who was in the official uniform and said, "This is our negotiator, Vice President of the Lifan Academy, and the Emperor's Special Envoy. You know him, so you can talk about it."

Pei Yuanqi took Fuquan to a corner of the camp, and opened it with the military camp here with fences. All women were entering and leaving. There was a huge tent in the camp, but the style was very ordinary. Pei Yuanqi directly led Fuquan over and said without hesitation: "Fuquan, I even brought my wife and children. I'm not going back this time."

"This... please angels to accept our family." Fuquan said.

Pei Yuanqi smiled and said, "What are you sympathizing with or not? Since the Supreme Emperor had ordered that, but if you come to him, you will be properly placed. Of course, you will be no exception."

Fuquan felt a little relieved, and Pei Yuanqi continued: "But how much freedom and preferential treatment you can get depends on your own ability. I don't think you would be arranged to a country farm, facing the loess and facing the sky."

Fuquan suddenly realized and asked, "Mr. Pei, has the court sent any orders to the criminals?"

Pei Yuanqi praised: "It does have this meaning, it's hard to say here. Please have a good rest. Let's talk about Zen Master Wuse again. If you put one hundred and twenty hearts on your mind, you will not let you harm your brother, nor will you betray your Manchuria."

"If this is the case, Fuquan is willing to be heartbroken." Fuquan said immediately.

After entering the tent, he found that there was no one inside. He asked the maid, who said, "The Zen master and his entourage went to the back camp to heal the soldiers. Have you made an appointment to come back for dinner?"

Pei Yuanqi nodded: "It's only half an hour left. You can take a few women to wash these women and children, and you have to serve this old man."

After Fuquan and others took a shower and changed their clothes, they came back to the big tent. The large short table was filled with food, the traditional Manchu food Shaqima, various fruits and drinks. When Fuquan saw the food on the table, his eyes were rolling, and they all started to swallow saliva. Fuquan and the woman held the child. Pei Yuanqi smiled and said, "Eat first, eat some snacks to suffice your stomach. Zen Master Wuse is a very easy-going person and will not blame you."

As he said that, Pei Yuanqi picked up a handful of melon seeds and started to eat them. Fuquan also knew from the people who served that the young man in front of him was not only the favorite minister of the imperial emperor but also the son of Pei Chengyi, the president of the Lifan Academy. He didn't dare to be arrogant. He just brought a plate of Shaqima to the hungry children. However, Pei Yuanqi had no airs and talked to Fuquan. He would occasionally say some Mongolian to tease the children and said self-deprecatingly: "I learned Mongolian when I was in school, but I was unfamiliar with Shenjing these years."

At this time, Wuse and Soetu opened the curtain and walked in. While walking, they were discussing the injuries they had not finished dealing with in the back camp. Suddenly, they found that there were many people sitting around their tent, but only Pei Yuanqi knew.

"Zen Master, you are back. We have been waiting for you for a long time." Pei Yuanqi slapped the melon seeds of Manchuria and stood up with a smile. Seeing the colorless look at Fuquan and others in confusion, he quickly smiled and introduced: "Hi, I forgot that you haven't seen each other for more than ten years. This is your second son Fuquan. These are his women and children, as well as your daughter-in-law and grandchildren."
