"Each captured sergeant needs to pay ten taels of gold to be released. Follow you back to Qin."

After saying this coldly, Zhao Guoxiang Yiyi had no expression on his face and his heart was surging. Feng Quji, the envoy of Qin who was sitting opposite him, had a bitter expression on his face.

Feng Quji, one of the most important political consultants under the King of Qin, did not want to take on this job. Because everyone knows that as a failed party on the battlefield, going to the enemy's royal city to negotiate may be humiliated or even unpredictable dangers.

But he had no choice but to come. This was not only because of the order given by King Nie Feng of Qin, but also because he once taught the eldest son Nie Yunfeng, who had the friendship of half a teacher. After the defeat of the Qin prince, he and the general Wang Jian became prisoners of the Zhao people and were taken back to Longcheng. Since Feng Quji had accepted the king's order, he had to complete the task with all his efforts, both public and private.

Since leaving Qin Feng'an, Feng Quji has been receiving news from Zhao at any time. It can be said that he knows everything that happened in Zhao during this period. Before entering Longcheng, he has already made aware of it and has great confidence in his ability to mediate smoothly and complete this diplomatic mission.

However, the facts were far beyond his expectations. Chu Jiangmian, who had just become the new king of Zhao, not only did he not even see him, but it was also said that he had left Longcheng and was not here. After waiting for a long time to get the meeting of the Prime Minister Fuyi, the other party did not say anything politely, and directly expressed the attitude of Zhao.

Even though Feng Quji has always been well-educated, he couldn't help but want to jump up and yell, "Is your Zhao State crazy poor?"

However, he did not do this after all. After taking several deep breaths, Feng Quji suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the old face of the Prime Minister Fei Yi, and said in a negotiated tone.

"Prime Minister Fei, since you have been the Prime Minister of Zhao for so many years, you should be very clear about some past events. In the past, wars occurred between the vassal states. Regardless of the outcome, according to the convention, after the war, the captured soldiers must be tolerated. When the conditions are right, they will usually be released back... Only those small princes in the south will kill them casually, or treat these people as slaves and treat them barbaric. Qin and Zhao are both great powers, and they should follow the conventions! Prime Minister, please take back this unrealistic condition first, and then we will discuss slowly and come up with a plan that both sides can accept. This is the way for great powers to get along!"

Listening to the Qin minister's words, Fei Yi calmly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. The mouth was slightly bitter, but the aftertaste was long. He couldn't help but secretly admired in his heart that the tea left by Chu Jiangmian was really a rare and wonderful taste in the world! Compared with the kind of tea soup I used to drinking in the past, it was very different.

It's just a pity that he left this and cherished it very much. The others were said to have been sent to General Li Mu who was fighting against the Hu people. Chu Jiangmian only said that it would be of great use, but did not say in detail what it was. Naturally, they were not inconvenient to ask more questions. Fortunately, he had agreed to hand over this method of making tea to Wang Ting's special officer to take charge of it, and everyone would not be able to drink it in the future. This is reassuring.

"Master of the Kingdom..."

A accompanying minister next to him reminded him in a low voice, interrupting Fei Yi's contemplation. He put down the teacup in his hand with great care, pursed his lips, looked up at the dissatisfied Qin envoy, and smiled faintly. He did not forget the other party's existence, but did this on purpose. If it were not for the purpose of completing Chu Jiangmian's instructions, he would not want to sit here and listen to the other party's bargaining nagging. Many major events were waiting for him to preside over the development, and there was no need to work hard here. The winner was already qualified to be proud!

"Okay, Doctor Feng, don't say more. This is the king's order, and there is no room for bargaining. Before leaving, the king said in front of all the ministers of the royal court that one price is worth ten taels of gold, and the price is fair! That... If the nobles don't believe it, you can ask the ministers here now, and everyone has heard it with their own ears. I can't make the decision to change it without authorization!"

The ministers and several generals sitting around nodded, with serious matters on their faces. Feng Quji, his deputy envoys and followers all had wonderful expressions. He opened his mouth and finally couldn't help but feel angry.

"Master, if Zhao really wants to do this, it will break the accepted rules between the princes' interactions. Doing so arbitrary and not caring about the consequences for money, aren't you really afraid that all the princes will be treated like this when they are defeated in the future? Hum!"

"The soldiers of Zhao will never give up, and from now on, there will be only victory! So, you are too worried."

Before Fei Yi could say anything, Long Yu, the dragon cavalry general who was sitting down, slapped his head and slapped his face heavily on several cases, with contempt on the corners of his mouth. On this occasion, he also came to participate in this occasion. In the past, several major wars occurred between Qin and Zhao, and each other won and lost. This huge victory was never seen before. All the soldiers received generous rewards and rewards after returning from triumphant return. All the promises that Chu Jiangmian once promised were fulfilled. The morale of the entire army was high. He and other generals were busy expanding the military these days, and took a break from their busy schedule to attend the meeting. He was naturally a little impatient when he heard the whispers of the Qin envoys.

Feng Quji was choked by his words. However, major events were the most important, but he didn't want to say anything more to a martial artist. He reached out to stop his subordinates from standing up to defend, as if he didn't hear it. He thought for a moment, then bowed and said.

"If the Prime Minister insists on this, Qin will not agree. And I have no right to make a promise casually. If it is convenient, please arrange for me to meet General Wang Jian and Mr. Yunfeng... I think, the Prime Minister should be able to make decisions in this request, right?"

Fei Yi smiled slightly and replied: "Before the king left, I had fully entrusted me to deal with matters related to Longcheng. Doctor Feng wanted to see them, so naturally there was no problem. But before that, I would like to remind you, hoping to repay the King of Qin to know."

"Please tell me, please listen carefully."

"Each soldier of Qin State has a ransom of ten taels, but the current price is! If it is delayed for a long time, Qin State may have to spend more money... Therefore, I will give a good reminder here to avoid spending more time! Haha!"

Feng Quji and the members of the mission he led originally thought there was a turning point, but unexpectedly, they heard even more ruthless words. Looking at the face of the Prime Minister Fei Yi with a smile, Feng Quji was very suspicious. Everyone in the world said that this old Prime Minister of Zhao was a loyal and righteous man, and it was simply nonsense!

"This... this is too ridiculous! How can you Zhao people do this? Ten taels of gold are already a whimsical blackmail, but what should you say add it? When will this military and national affairs become a bargaining merchant method? The Prime Minister hopes to think twice before doing it, so as not to become a laughing stock for the people of the world."

Feng Quji felt that his belly was about to be irritated. The people of Zhao were so shameless from top to bottom! Such a thing could be done? Unexpectedly, their righteous indignation was only the Prime Minister of Zhao and the ministers who looked indifferent. It seemed that they felt that they were used to this matter and there was nothing wrong with it.

Naturally, he didn't know that in fact, in addition to the prime minister Fei Yi, others were also forcibly covering up their expressions, so as not to reveal the shock and confusion in their hearts. Fei Yi, who had already heard Chu Jiangmian explain the truth in detail, still looked calm and gentle. He bent his finger and shook it gently at the Qin envoy not far away.

"The period given by the king is one month. Within one month, Qin will take money to redeem people. Otherwise, after the period, each person will add one or two gold per day. According to the king's original words, since the King of Qin is not short of money, let his soldiers stay in the prison camp, eat, drink and entertain, and record the accounts they spend. I believe that without our urging, the talented and wise King of Qin will also understand the accounts...haha!"

Feng Quji's face turned black. He lowered his head and was silent for a while. He exchanged glances with the deputy envoy, then stood up and sighed.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing to say. I will repay the meaning of Zhao State to the King of Qin as soon as possible... So, can I meet General Wang Jian and the Prince now?"

"Absolutely no problem! You can go now."

The Prime Minister Fei Yi stood up to see him off with a polite attitude. Then, under General Long Yu's personal leadership, not long after, Feng Quji met Wang Jian and Nie Yunfeng who were under house arrest in a house.

"General Wang, Mr. Yunfeng, you have suffered... Don't worry, I believe that it won't take long to return to Qin State safely!"

"The defeated army deserves to die! I am really ashamed of the king!"

Wang Jian's face was full of shame. After he and Nie Yunfeng were taken back to Longcheng, they had been living in this courtyard. Although they didn't know where this was, they knew very well that they were guarding around and could not escape at all. In addition to being unable to be free, they had eaten well and drank well during this period without any difficulty or humiliation. Unlike his feelings, Nie Yunfeng was only concerned about his own safety. Seeing that his father finally sent someone, he immediately grabbed Feng Quji's hand and asked excitedly.
