The scene was silent.
The Tiger Army, who originally thought that something big had happened, now completely understood.
It turned out that Wang Ye had taken a fancy to a woman!
Wang Ye was indeed not an ordinary person. He was so ruthless even when it came to getting a woman!
The Tiger Army, who had always been in awe of Pang Xiao, craned their necks to look at her curiously and playfully. They wanted to see what kind of beauty could move Wang Ye and make him declare his ownership of her with such fanfare.
The Dayan people's faces were all ashen.
Everyone felt that the emperor's action of asking Grand Preceptor Qin to present his daughter was shameless. Now that Qin Yining was being humiliated in front of his face, it was simply a slap to their faces.
The Da Zhou soldiers were full of fighting spirit. They clenched their weapons tightly and cursed endlessly.
When the Tiger Army saw the other party's reaction, they also calmed down and prepared for battle.
The atmosphere was tense at the slightest touch.
Pang Xiao glared fiercely at Qin Yining and waved her hand, "Retreat!"
The Tiger Army was well-trained. When they heard the military order, they neatly put away their weapons and retreated in unison.
Pang Xiao casually returned to her tent barefooted in her underwear.
Seeing the other party retreat, the Dayan people all breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the Tiger Army's combat ability was not only reflected in the commander-in-chief's command and formations, but also in their individual combat ability. Because of the difference in the region and the difference in the daily training, an ordinary soldier of Tiger Troop could defeat five of the best soldiers of Great Yan. The gap between them was so huge that it made people feel helpless.
Qin Huaiyuan said, "Everyone, go back and guard your positions carefully."
"Yes." The soldiers retreated.
Cui Wenqing looked at Qin Yining, whose tears had not dried yet, and then looked at Qin Huaiyuan, whose brows were tightly knitted. She sighed and turned to go back to her tent.
After all, it was humiliating to give one's only legitimate daughter to another man. Cui Wenqing didn't want to ask Qin Huaiyuan what was going on. However, she didn't expect the other party's son, Little Wang Ye, to be so interested in Qin Yining.
After thinking about it, Cui Wenqing still reported the truth in the secret report sent to Jingdu that night. Grand Preceptor Qin had already sent his legitimate daughter to Lian, but Lian was indifferent. Prince Zhongshun publicly expressed his love for her.
When this secret report reached the capital, the Emperor was wild with joy. He was so happy that he could not sleep at night. Little Wang Ye was a War God with a high position and authority. He was Emperor Zhou's sworn brother. If he could get rid of this person, the situation might turn around.
Immediately, the Emperor fell into a dilemma. He couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet for his mistake.
If he had known earlier that Little Wang Ye liked Grand Preceptor Qin's daughter, he would have chosen another beautiful woman to bring to the Lian Shengjie. If each of them had one, both of them would be satisfied. Neither of them would want to steal the other's and hurt their relationship. If the two of them fought over a woman, it would be bad.
The Emperor thought about it again and again, and then issued another edict. He ordered someone to send it to Xi Hua City at the fastest speed possible.
Therefore, at noon the next day, Qin Huaiyuan received the Emperor's latest edict: "… Act according to circumstances. It is important to win the peace talks first."
In other words, he would give Qin Yining to whoever could win the peace talks.
After Qin Huaiyuan ordered the eunuch to deliver the edict, he smiled faintly at Cui Wenqing.
Cui Wenqing felt guilty and helpless.
He had followed the edict. In addition to the peace talks, his mission was to monitor Qin Huaiyuan. After all, the Emperor was afraid that Qin Huaiyuan would hold a grudge against Qin Huaiyuan and become disloyal to Dayan. He had no choice but to send secret reports every day.
"Grand Preceptor Qin, the other party is biding their time. Should we add fuel to the fire? This matter has been delayed for a long time. This official is afraid that the Emperor will be anxious. "
If the Emperor was anxious, he could do anything.
If the peace talks didn't succeed this time, the Emperor might not care about the people's opinions and directly kill their entire families to vent his anger.
Qin Huaiyuan naturally understood Cui Wenqing's difficulties and concerns. "Let's observe them for one more day. If they still don't succeed, we'll relax the conditions tomorrow."
Cui Wenqing nodded.
In fact, he had always been very conflicted.
When he was negotiating with Qin Huaiyuan, he firmly believed that he had to fight for the greatest benefits for the Dayan people.
Because they couldn't agree on the conditions and Lian Shengjie deliberately refused to show up, the peace talks had reached a deadlock.
However, he understood that the Emperor probably didn't care about how much money and cities they offered. As long as the other party agreed to stop fighting, the Emperor would happily give them a promotion.
With such an Emperor, Cui Wenqing didn't know if he should cry for himself.
At this time, Qin Yining was resting in his tent.
She hadn't slept all night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would think about what had happened last night. Pang Xiao's passionate embrace, domineering kiss, angry roar, gentle coaxing, and his declaration in front of everyone: "Sooner or later, you'll be mine."
These scenes were like different colors of paint that mixed together in her mind, forming a dazzling whirlpool.
She didn't understand why Pang Xiao was like this.
She was used to analyzing the pros and cons, but when faced with her own problem, her mind was in a mess.
For Pang Xiao, she had no value at all. Why would Pang Xiao take the initiative to approach her, get to know her, befriend her, save her life, and save her from Lian Shengjie twice?
She didn't want to be so narcissistic as to say that Pang Xiao liked her. But since she had no value, why would he do this?
After all, her father was the enemy who had killed Pang Xiao's father.
Qin Yining really couldn't understand why he would do this when facing the daughter of his enemy.
However, she had to admit that she was glad at this time.
Fortunately, she went to the wrong tent and it wasn't Lian Shengjie inside.
Even if she was kissed by Pang Xiao, it was better than giving herself to Lian Shengjie.
When she thought of that kiss, the inexperienced her face burned with embarrassment. She turned over and buried her burning red face into the pillow. Although her father didn't ask anything last night, with his intelligence, he definitely knew what she was doing on the other side. There were some things that were inconvenient for father and daughter to say, but they had a tacit understanding.
Her plan had failed. She didn't even see the shadow of Lian Shengjie.
But what about the peace talks?
"Miss Qin!"
At this time, a soldier's voice came from outside the tent. That soldier's voice was filled with joy.
"Miss Qin, Grand Preceptor Qin asks you to immediately go to the command tent! The other side has taken the initiative to negotiate with us. Little Wang Ye said that you must be present! "
Qin Yining immediately sat up when she heard this. She was stunned for a moment before saying: "I'll go immediately."
The other side took the initiative to negotiate?
She didn't hear wrong, right?
Qin Yining didn't have time to think too much. She tidied her hair, put on a cloak, and went straight to the command tent.
As soon as she entered, she saw the bruised and gloomy Lian Shengjie talking to Qin Huaiyuan about something.
Pang Xiao, who was wearing a black battle robe, was accompanied by Huzi, who was wearing a bodyguard's uniform. They were hugging a snow-white little rabbit and squatting to the side as they spoke in a low voice.
Cui Wenqing awkwardly squatted beside Pang Xiao. Her expression was very stiff.
Qin Yining was a bit surprised.
A dignified Prince Zhongshun was actually hugging a little rabbit in the middle of a serious peace talk in a military camp.
Qin Yining couldn't help but mock: "Little Wang Ye, are you pretending to be Chang 'e?"
