Chapter 466 Going to the Grassland for Negotiations
General Luo did not agree directly, but looked at Luo Yun and Marquis Jian'an.
"What do you think of this?"
Luo Yun did not answer, but looked at Marquis Jian'an.
"Foster father, I think what Lao Jiu said makes sense. If we take control of the caravan, there will be many benefits in the future!"
"I know you are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but... we, the frontier soldiers who are called soldiers, also have families... and we need money!"
Marquis Jian'an said helplessly.
"Qiu Ba?"
General Luo murmured these two words, his face full of bitterness.
Life as a border soldier is indeed hard.
If not, he would not have agreed to Luo Ye's appointment as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!
Now, since Jiang Chen said so...
"Old Nine, I agree."
"You can arrange this matter!"
"However, the Third Prince of the Prairie is not easy to deal with. You... must be careful!"
General Luo said with a serious expression.
"Thank you, foster father!"
Jiang Chen was extremely excited when he heard what General Luo said!
Since his godfather has agreed, other things will be easy!
As for the third prince of the grassland...
Haha, just wait and see him take care of the other person!
"Old Nine, you finally made it to the grassland. Let's get drunk tonight!"
"Hahahaha! That's right! Come on, follow me!"
Marquis Jian'an and Luo Yun took Jiang Chen out.
After the three men arrived at Luo Yun's tent, the soldiers brought them liquor and mutton.
"Laojiu, we heard that you went to Jiangnan some time ago?"
"How is it? Is it going well?" Luo Yun asked Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.
“Brother, look at what you said, even with Lao Jiu’s help, it’s not going well!?”
"Besides, didn't you see that Lao Jiu has been promoted to a nobleman now?"
"Marquis of Jinchuan County! But he is even better than Marquis of Jian'an!"
Marquis Jian'an said this with a big laugh.
……
"Hahaha, brothers, please don't tease me. Although everything went well when I went to Jiangnan, I also got a lot of trouble..."
Jiang Chen smiled, then told the two about Jiangnan's situation.
"What!? Your Majesty actually believed those rumors!?"
"Dark Lord!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's story, Luo Yun started to curse angrily!
"That's unreasonable!"
"Your Majesty is going too far! I want to write a letter to your Majesty!"
Marquis Jian'an was also gritting his teeth in anger!
Although he had known these things for a long time, hearing Jiang Chen say it himself made him feel completely different!
"Okay, brothers, I'm fine."
"Now, I am fine, am I not?"
"As long as I can handle the grassland affairs well, His Majesty will not do anything to me!" Jiang Chen raised his glass with a smile.
Jiang Chen felt better after hearing Luo Yun and Marquis Jian'an angrily denounce the Emperor of Dajing as a tyrant.
However, he was not secretly happy about venting his anger, but he felt relieved when he saw that Luo Yun and Marquis Jian'an were dissatisfied with Emperor Dajing.
If they were all dissatisfied with Emperor Dajing, then when he rebelled in the future...he wouldn't have to go to war with these brothers!
The three brothers drank until late at night.
On the other side, in the grassland tent, the third prince of the grassland also learned the news of Jiang Chen's arrival!
"Haha, good, very good!"
"I want to see how this Jiang Chen acts as an envoy!"
"I... must kill him!"
The third prince of the grassland smiled coldly.
The prairie princess who was captured by Jiang Chen before is the sister of the third prince of the prairie!
Originally, with his sister's help, he would have a greater chance of winning the throne!
But because of this Jiang Chen, his sister has now lost all her rights!
He must avenge this!
……
The next morning, Jiang Chen walked out of Cangyuan City under the personal escort of Marquis Jian'an!
"Myna, I really don't need you to escort me personally. I can go to the grassland to talk by myself!"
Jiang Chen looked at Marquis Jian'an with a helpless look on his face.
"Laojiu, stop talking. I won't feel at ease if I don't follow you!"
Marquis Jian'an said this with a firm look on his face.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to follow Marquis Jian'an's instructions and walk towards the grassland camp.
Even though their team was carrying the messenger's flag, the grassland people quickly surrounded them after seeing them!
When Marquis Jian'an saw this scene, he immediately clenched the spear in his hand!
"Don't get excited, everyone. I am the Marquis of Jinchuan County, Dajing, Jiang Chen!"
"He is also our Dajing's envoy!"
"Please inform everyone that I have come here specially to see His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Prairie!"
Jiang Chen shouted loudly!
"Hahaha! Lord Jiang! This prince is right here!"
"I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Just after Jiang Chen finished speaking, a man riding a horse rushed over quickly!
"The Third Prince of the Grassland!"
When Marquis Jian'an saw the person coming, his eyes became even more alert!
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Marquis Jian'an would be here too!"
"Both the Marquises of Dajing are here. If I kill you, I'll make a fortune!"
The third prince of the grassland said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, the Third Prince can try!"
"Although I don't have many people with me, I am not afraid of threats!"
Marquis Jian'an said with a cold expression!
……
"Hehe, Marquis Jian'an means to fight with me!" The third prince of the grassland looked at Marquis Jian'an, his eyes full of fighting spirit!
"my pleasure!"
Marquis Jian'an said coldly.
The soldiers around them suddenly became nervous when they saw the two men were on the verge of a fight!
Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Hahaha, Third Prince, why do you have to be like this? I'm here as an envoy to negotiate, not to fight!"
"If we really want to fight, we should set up a battle formation and fight together, not take advantage of others' misfortune like we are doing now, right!?"
When the Third Prince of the Grassland heard Jiang Chen's words, he snorted coldly and said, "I won't take advantage of someone's misfortune!"
"Come with me!"
As he spoke, the third prince of the grassland turned his horse around and led everyone towards the camp.
After returning to the tent, Jiang Chen and Marquis Jian'an followed the third prince of the grassland into the big tent.
"My two lords, since you are here to negotiate, I will speak frankly. Two hundred thousand shi of grain and grass is the minimum requirement of my grassland!"
"If you don't agree, then we can only go to war!" The third prince of the grassland spoke with a cold face after sitting in the main seat.
"Haha, Third Prince, why are you brandishing swords and guns? We in Dajing and the grassland just had a battle, and now both sides need to rest!"
"Starting a war is indeed a wise move!" Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
"Oh? Lord Jiang is going to agree to the two hundred thousand shi of grain and fodder?" The third prince of the grassland looked at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.
"Haha, two hundred thousand shi of grain is too much. Dajing is also suffering from drought now, so I'm afraid I can't provide it."
"But 50,000 shi is still possible!"
"What did you say!?"
When the Third Prince of the Grassland heard what Jiang Chen said, he was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up!
