Chapter 544 Negotiation
Jiang Xinyan complained while going to the carriage to prepare food for Master Wuchen. Anyway, there was a lot of food in their space.
Anyone who has ever been hungry instinctively wants to have food around them, and the worldly master is no exception.
The couple also likes to stock up on food and grain, maybe because they are afraid of being hungry, but they don't feel panic when there is food in the house.
Jiang Xinyan took out some unplucked chickens and made them into beggar's chickens. The couple kept two and gave two to Master Wuchen.
The dry food given to Wuchen was pancakes, jerky, and French fries. Jiang Xinyan wrapped it in a homemade cloth, handed it to Wuchen, and teased him.
"Master, this food can last for two days, and it only takes half a day for you to go to our castle."
"Amitabha, you are so good. I am deeply grateful. I am waiting for the two donors to come back in the castle."
Wuchen, who was very full, wanted to eat beggar's chicken. Seeing that Chu Lixuan and his wife were still not leaving, he disappeared with a shudder after saying this.
"Let's go, this master walks so fast, it doesn't take him half a day to arrive, and he wants us to feed him and tease us!" Jiang Xinyan pouted and complained unhappily.
"Xinxin~ This Master Wuchen, if you don't know his name, he is just an ordinary monk. If he wants to enter our castle, he must prove that he met us on the road."
Chu Lixuan explained patiently to his little wife, for fear that if she really minded it, it would affect her mood.
"Giggle~ So the master is still very smart!" Jiang Xinyan was really happy.
The sun was too strong outside, and the couple didn't want to rush yet, so they hid in the woods from the sun.
At this moment, they were even more tacitly aware that they did not dare to enter the space, as if Master Wuchen had sprung out of nowhere.
The couple leaned against a big tree, and the wind blowing from the forest was not hot at all, but slightly cool.
The comfortable Jiang Xinyan was drowsy, "Xinxin~ you can sleep for a while, and my husband will help you look after you. You can sleep peacefully."
"My husband is so kind, so I'll sleep with you then." Jiang Xinyan felt very sweet in her heart. This man was really nice to her.
She closed her eyes and remembered the chicken soup she had seen in her previous life: If you love, everything in life will be lovely; if you hate, everything in life will be hateful.
If you are grateful, you can be grateful everywhere; if you grow, you can grow in everything; the world did not choose you, but you chose the world.
Since there is nowhere to hide, it is better to be silly; since there is nowhere to escape, it is better to be happy; since there is no pure land, it is better to meditate; since one does not get what one wishes, it is better to be relieved.
She didn't read it out to the man, for fear that if she said it, the man would sigh again and fall asleep after thinking about it.
Chu Lixuan looked at her without blinking, until she really fell asleep, then he held her in his arms, for fear that she would fall.
Holding her like this, he felt infinite joy in his heart. His previous twenty-three years had been as dull as water without her.
Since the year he got married, his life has been enjoyable and he is as happy as a god.
Outside Xuanyan Castle, Xuanyuan Chen and the Zhenbei Army's military advisor stood at the city gate with a few guards, "Xuanyuan Chen has come to visit the castle master, please open the city gate."
Wei Lubin knew that they were coming thirty miles away and had already reported them to Nie Cimeng and Wei Dabin.
"Our castle master is not in the castle, you should come back another day." Nie Cinan said coldly.
Xuanyuan Chen: "..." What a coincidence? Is it true or false?
After all, the military advisor is older and more stable: "Brother, please inform the stewards of your castle. We have something urgent to do with them."
Wei Lubin: "..." Urgent matter? I just want the food in our castle! What kind of urgent matter is this?
"Then you wait a moment, I will send someone to report." He deliberately made things difficult for Xuanyuan Chen and the others.
Their master had already told them that when the people from the Zhenbei Military Camp came, they would put them in. At this time, the sun was fierce, so they were allowed to dry out a cup of tea.
There was a blower on their tower, but they couldn't get any sunlight, so they ate sweet watermelons to relieve the heat. Wei Lubin was a child at heart.
While he was eating, he was talking to himself, the weather is too hot, it would be really pleasant to eat a few kilograms of watermelon to relieve the heat!
Nie Cinan: "..." How could this guy be so naive? I don't know him, I really don't have the eyesight.
Xuanyuan Chen: "..." I know you are teasing me on purpose, but I'm still envious! We also want to eat watermelon to relieve the heat.
Maybe everyone in the castle knew the purpose of his visit. Xuanyuan Chen instantly felt that his uncle Huang was no longer a human being.
He said flatteringly: "Brother, are there too many watermelons? The sun is so hot that the skin is almost peeling off. I'm so thirsty!"
Xuanyuan Chen didn't have any hope. He just felt that what they did was unkind, so he wanted to lower his profile to satisfy Wei Lubin.
When their Zhenbei Army still lived here, he had some friendship with Wei Lubin and Nie Cinan.
Wei Lubin: "..." Is this all right? The crown prince of King Zhenbei! You shamelessly beg for food, which makes me feel embarrassed.
"Come here, open some watermelons and send them down to eat."
The watermelons they are eating now are all freshly taken from the ice caves deep in the snowy mountains, and they taste very good.
Zhenbei Military Advisor: "..." Is this okay? And he is so easy to talk to, so being shameless has its advantages!
Xuanyuan Chen and the military advisor got their wish and ate the watermelon. Wow! One bite made them feel comfortable all over.
The people in their castle are living a damn good life. Don't worry about the court coming to rob them, their father (Prince) can't even reach the city gate!
At this moment, Xuanyuan Chen no longer felt that the sun was too harsh, and he gnawed on the watermelon in an imageless manner.
After eating the watermelon, he didn't let them wait. He opened the city gate and let them in. Wei Dabin, Nie Cimeng, Zhao Yu, and Dai Yuntao received them.
The first thing is to arrange a hearty meal for them. As for the smell of sweat all over their bodies, no one cares about it.
"My husband and wife went to Yumen Pass. You came here at the wrong time." Nie Cimeng said calmly.
"Master Nie, we are looking for the same thing with you. Our prince has been forced by the emperor to have no choice but to exchange a batch of grain with you."
Zhenbei Military Advisor nodded and bowed. From Xuanyuan Chen's shameless behavior, he realized his experience. What is face?
"What do you want to give in exchange?" Well! This military advisor is very smart. Don't ask them to bring it up first. This way the negotiation will be more advantageous.
A very good strategist: "..." What to exchange for? They have nothing now! People, they have already exchanged 30,000 soldiers to give you the castle!
Are we going to continue to exchange soldiers? Will the prince agree?
Nie Cimeng and Wei Dabin saw the Zhenbei military advisor looking confused. Could it be that he was just talking casually?
Xuanyuan Chen saw that several people across from him wanted to get angry, so he quickly got up to smooth things over, "We will continue to exchange land with you for food."
