Joy of Life: The Mei Family's Son Grows Up - Chapter 246: There's No Need to Be So Urgent

Chapter 246 There's No Need to Be So Urgent

Faced with his fellow villager's question, Fan Xian was a little speechless. He probably guessed what his fellow villager wanted to express.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mei Cheng'an smiled and continued.

"In terms of politeness and quality, Northern Qi does seem to be better, but in terms of actual performance, they are far behind.

Is it because the Northern Qi people were too polite and well-mannered to resist such unreasonable remarks?

You don't really think they won't curse? That's because they don't dare. As a defeated country, they don't have the qualifications to curse!

All the defeated countries are very humble and polite. Don't they want to be arrogant? Don't they want to be strong? They don't have the confidence.

I know what you're trying to say, can't you be powerful and polite at the same time?

Yes, in diplomacy! Because it represents the image of the country!

But no negotiation!

These two are two different things, don't confuse them!

In addition to negotiation, we can also be polite, well-mannered and cultured.

But in negotiations, these external things are stumbling blocks!

What the country wants is that you are polite in the negotiation process? What the country wants is that you do everything you can to fight for the interests of the country!

The method is not important! The result is important!

No matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!

To hell with all the hypocrisy and sanctimoniousness!

Just do it! M3! "

The atmosphere was inexplicably heated up, making Xin Qiwu's blood boil.

Although he didn't quite understand a lot of words including the last one, it didn't stop him from understanding the context, and he was excited.

"Good! That's very well said!"

Xin Qiwu looked excited and clapped his hands.

Although Fan Xian was a little slow, he also started clapping.

The last few words of his fellow villager were quite passionate, which made his calm heart restless and he couldn't help but get excited.

As for his doubts, they were all resolved by his fellow villager's words. He was indeed confused.

Embarrassed? I don't have time to be embarrassed. We are having a great time. How can I have time to be embarrassed? Really.

……

After having enough tea and food, take a short rest at noon.

Negotiations continue in the afternoon!

Although the negotiation atmosphere was much more relaxed than in the morning and the rhetoric was not as intense, the negotiations inevitably fell into a deadlock.

Xin Qiwu turned up his sleeves to his arms and boldly put forward his demands.

"First, the land occupied by our army cannot be returned. Both sides should re-survey the border."

"Secondly, you must compensate our army for the expenses of the expedition, and you must also provide compensation for our dead soldiers!"

"Third, the soldiers you captured must be released unconditionally within a certain time limit. As for your people, they must serve three years of hard labor in our country! They will be released after their sentences are completed!"

From the perspective of Northern Qi, the conditions put forward by Qing Kingdom could not even be called demands. They were almost like making a wish, without any sincerity at all. It was just like asking for too much, which they could not accept at all!

"How can we continue this discussion?"

The leader of Northern Qi was very angry.

Xin Qiwu tutted, whispering quietly, just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"There was nothing to talk about."

The people of Northern Qi were helpless and silent. The leader even closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt pain in his heart.

Unlike the people in Northern Qi who all had gloomy faces, everyone in Qing Kingdom was calm and composed.

The field fell silent for a moment, and both sides tacitly entered the halftime break.

Mei Cheng'an held the teacup, gave Xin Qiwu a thumbs-up, exchanged a wink, and took a sip of tea.

Putting down the teacup, he looked past the people of Northern Qi and towards the passage behind them, as if thinking about something.

The news is about to arrive.

Sure enough, a young servant dressed in Northern Qi clothing soon appeared in his sight and trotted into the negotiation room.

After leaning over and whispering a few words to the leader of Northern Qi, the servant handed him a piece of paper.

Mei Chengan glanced at the paper, then looked away and drank his tea in silence. What is coming will eventually come. Xiaoyan, you have suffered.

After reading the contents of the note, the Northern Qi team leader's face was swept away with sadness, and he looked happy. He raised his head and glanced at Xin Qiwu, feeling a sense of satisfaction as if he had avenged his great hatred. After a moment of secret joy, he spoke.

"Master Xin, we will not compromise on our terms in this negotiation."

Xin Qiwu's heart skipped a beat and he was extremely curious about the contents of the note, but he didn't show it on his face.

Hearing this, he hissed, looking confused.

"Have you suddenly gone mad?"

The leader of Northern Qi placed the note in his hand on the table, tapped it with his fingers, and spoke calmly.

"There is new information on this piece of paper. Our conditions are all written on it. You can take a look at it first. We will talk about it tomorrow. You can also take this opportunity to check the authenticity of the information."

Xin Qiwu glanced at the note on the table silently, his face a little stiff, but he did not act rashly.

The leader of Northern Qi and several other groups stood up together, smiling and bowing to them calmly.

After the pretentious ceremony, the leader looked at Xin Qiwu with contempt, snorted coldly, and turned away.

Xin Qiwu: “…”

Mei Cheng'an didn't even look at them, but just looked at the tea in the cup silently, turning the cup from time to time and taking a sip.

Out of sight out of mind!

Fan Xian watched the other party leave quietly, his eyes moving to the note on the table, curious about what kind of news could have caused the originally one-sided situation to reverse in an instant.

Xin Qiwu persisted until the people from Northern Qi were out of sight, then he leaned forward in panic and took back the note on the table.

After flipping through the book and taking a few glances, Xin Qiwu looked solemn.

"This is bad!"

……

royal palace.

Outside the Imperial Study Room.

A piece of news was delivered to Eunuch Hou after it was urgently sent back from Northern Qi over a distance of 800 miles.

Eunuch Hou did not dare to delay. He turned around and walked quickly into the imperial study with the secret letter and handed it to Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing opened the mailbox calmly, took out the letter and started reading.

Emperor Qing quickly finished reading the contents of the secret letter, lowered his hands, took a few steps forward thoughtfully, and threw the secret letter into the brazier.

Looking at the burning fire, Emperor Qing remained silent.

……

Control Yuan.

Yan Ruohai was called to Chen Pingping's office.

"Dean, are you looking for me?"

Yan Ruohai bowed to Chen Pingping, who had his back to him.

Chen Pingping turned the wheelchair around and moved in front of him, then spoke with a serious expression.

"There is something you must know. Bingyun has been captured!"

Yan Ruohai's pupils dilated instantly and he was stunned.

"It was done by the Northern Qi Jinyiwei. Shen Zhong arrested them personally."

Yan Ruohai lost his usual composure and asked in a trembling voice.

"Is he still alive?" "Alive."

Hearing this, Ruohai closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he was much calmer.

"Northern Qi wants to use him as a bargaining chip?"

Chen Pingping nodded.

Yan Ruohai asked immediately.

"What do they want?"

……

Honglu Temple.

The members of the negotiation team did not leave and remained in the conference room.

Several people gathered in front of the huge map hanging in the conference hall to listen to Xin Qiwu talk about the conditions of Northern Qi.

Xin Qiwu pointed at the map.

"First, they must take back the land of this state, then return the prisoners of war, and provide compensation to the soldiers who died in Northern Qi.

These are nothing, they are basically copied from our requirements. The most hateful one is the last one!

They want us to exchange Sean and Si Lili for Master Yan!"

Fan Xian's heart moved when he heard the familiar name.

"Sean? The one imprisoned in the Overwatch dungeon?"

Xin Qiwu looked at him and nodded.

"That's right! It's him. Sean is the unrivaled devil of Northern Qi, once as famous as Chen Pingping!

At that time, Chen Pingping led the Black Cavalry on a thousand-mile raid, and only at the cost of his own legs did he capture him back! "

This was not the first time Fan Xian had heard this story.

"Such a character should be replaced?"

Xin Qiwu stamped his feet, made a sound, and shrank his face.

"That's right!"

After a pause, Xin Qiwu thought about it again.

"However, this time, thanks to Yan Bingyun's intelligence gathering and secret reports in the capital of Northern Qi, we were able to win the war so smoothly."

"What's more, he is the biological son of Yan Ruohai of the Supervisory Council!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was confused except Mei Chengan who remained calm.

Sean is important, Yan Bingyun is equally important, whether to change him or not is a headache.

……

Control Yuan.

"Don't change!"

Yan Ruohai said in a decisive tone.

Chen Pingping looked up at him without saying anything.

Yan Ruohai did not dare to look him in the eye. He could only pace back and forth to suppress the guilt he felt towards his son. There was no family affection in the face of national justice.

"The conquered territory cannot be returned!"

Chen Pingping looked at him and said.

"Of course the conquered territory cannot be returned. In fact, what they really want is Sean and Si Lili!"

Yan Ruohai's eyes flashed, and he made a decision instantly. He stepped forward and said.

"We can't let Sean go! If he returns to Qi, it will be like a dragon returning to the sea. He will definitely take crazy revenge. As a citizen of Qing, I cannot accept this!"

Chen Pingping shook his head helplessly and opened his mouth.

"It's not release! It's replace!"

As he spoke, Chen Pingping raised his eyes and looked into Yan Ruohai's eyes.

"Change Bingyun back."

Yan Ruohai turned a deaf ear to it.

"I will go north overnight, sneak into the capital of Northern Qi, and try to rescue my son!"

Chen Pingping poured a bucket of cold water on him without even thinking about it.

"Going north to rescue people at this time is harder than climbing to the sky."

Yan Ruohai's eyes were firm.

"As a father, I have to!"

Chen Pingping took a deep breath.

"It's not up to you to decide whether to change or not."
