Rong Yan frowned and nodded. “I’m the Third Prince of Great Xia, Rong Yan.” Chercha said, “I know you. You were the one who led the troops to my Xiongnu Border City this time.”
Rong Yan asked, “Are you here to denounce me?”
Chercha shook his head. “I’m here to cooperate with you.”
Rong Yan was suspicious and guarded against this person. Chercha also felt his distrust, so he rolled up his sleeves and showed him the scars from Chernan’s whip.
“I was once imprisoned and beaten up by Chernan and almost lost my life. Don’t worry, the three of us are like fire and water. Almost everyone knows about it, especially me and Chernan. We have an irreconcilable relationship.” “I know that you won’t believe me even if I tell you this now, but I’m here today because you and I both want the battle to end as soon as possible,” he said. “I know what you want. Destroying the iron ore mountain is just a loss for both sides. I can come forward and agree to give a portion of the iron ore to Great Xia and agree that Xiongnu won’t send troops for three years.”
Rong Yan’s expression was calm and unmoved. Before he could say anything, Chercha could only continue.
“It can also restrain the soldiers from harassing your border people.”
Rong Yan still didn’t speak. Chercha frowned. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and it was Chercha who spoke first. “I came with sincerity. Don’t go overboard.”
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows. “First of all, your Xiongnu is begging us to stop fighting now. You’d better change your arrogant tone.”
“Secondly, it’s your duty to stay away from the border and not disturb the lives of the citizens of Great Xia.”
“Moreover, ‘give to Great Xia’? No, that’s the compensation you should give after you lose.”
His attitude became more and more unyielding. Xiaoxiao originally thought that the eldest prince was going to be angry, but she did not expect to see him really relax not long after. “Sure, but I have a request.”
Rong Yan looked at him silently, his displeasure obvious.
He didn’t know why, but he hated this person. Perhaps it was because this person looked at Xiaoxiao strangely when she passed by just now?
He was staring at a girl the first time they met. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
It wasn’t that Chercha didn’t sense Rong Yan’s unfriendliness, but he blamed it on the hostile relationship between the two sides. Hence, he said his thoughts according to the plan. “The way to maintain long-term peace between the two countries has always been through marriage. This time, I want to marry someone myself.”
Recalling what he had seen just now, he said, “I don’t want a princess or a noble lady. I just want the maidservant who sent you snacks just now.” “Maidservant” Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Rong Yan’s reaction was more direct. Almost as soon as Chercha finished speaking, his Azure Frost Sword was already on this person’s neck.
Chercha asked, “Is she yours?”
Then, she asked, “Then, did you send her to save me?”
He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “It’s fine. Just treat it as me repaying her for saving my life. Isn’t there a saying in Great Xia called ‘I can’t repay you, so I’ll marry you’.”
Rong Yan did not comment and did not appreciate his cold joke. “Don’t have any ideas about her. You’re not worthy.”
Xiaoxiao remembered now. Wasn’t this the unlucky person she had saved from Chernan’s secret room? He was actually First Prince of Xiongnu, but why did he want to marry her?
Chercha’s advisors also wanted to ask this question. Chercha glanced at them. “You couldn’t find me after searching for months, but she could take me away from Chernan’s secret chamber unscathed from the heavy guards.”
“You all saw how dangerous it was that day when the city fell, and she retreated unscathed. I have to get married anyway. Isn’t marrying her much better than marrying those delicate princesses who only know how to cry and make a fuss?”
The advisors felt that it made sense, but they still reminded him, “But she’s the Third Prince’s girl.”
Chercha narrowed her eyes. “That’s even better. Chernan found someone to impersonate her and used it to threaten the Third Prince of Great Xia. This means that the Third Prince values her very much. As the Third Prince’s lover, she knows a lot of secrets.”
After bringing her back to Xiongnu, he had plenty of time and means to ask her slowly.
-Besides, after obtaining her, the Third Prince will have to think twice before me in the future.”
Someone wanted to say more, but he was stopped by his companion just as he was about to speak. After Chercha left, the latter said, “Idiot, have you forgotten that our eldest prince is engaged to the daughter of General Chadan? If he marries the princess of Great Xia, how can he marry anyone else? It’s different if he marries a maidservant. It’s reasonable even if he brings her back as a concubine.”
Marriage was just a formality. They had no intention of really submitting to Great Xia.
The advisor in front nodded and raised another question. “Then what did the Third Prince of Great Xia mean when he said that our eldest prince is not worthy?”
The person who persuaded him felt that his companion might not be in his right mind, so he ended the conversation unilaterally.
Did he need an explanation for scolding others? He was trying to make things difficult for the eldest prince.
Xiaoxiao realized that Rong Yan was in a bad mood. His specific expression was that he could not sit still or read the official documents. From time to time, he would look at the envoy of Xiongnu coldly.
Yun Er and Yun San felt puzzled. “Master, what did the eldest prince mean just now?”
“What does he mean you sent a girl to save him?”
“What does he mean by saving his life?”
Rong Yan replied casually, “He got the wrong person.”
Yun Er and Yun San blinked. “You answered so quickly. Didn’t you suspect Miss at all?”
Rong Yan said affirmatively, “No, not in the past, not now, and not in the future.”
As for the jade pendant, he did not tell anyone and did not plan to ask. If the jade pendant was stolen by Xiongnu, he did not want to mention it again and scare Xiaoxiao.
If Xiaoxiao brought the jade pendant to Xiongnu Border City for some reason, there must be a reason why she did not say it. He believed her and would tell ’ him when she felt that it was okay.
Xiaoxiao felt that the eldest prince might be a fool because when the second half of the negotiations entered the white-hot stage again, he suddenly appeared in front of the dumbfounded Chernan and Cheryan. He said in a tone that Xiaoxiao thought was very pretentious, “Xiongnu can agree to all your requests.”
Rong Yan’s hand was already on the hilt of his sword, but this “hero” still made his request without hesitation. He pointed at Xiaoxiao, who walked in in the name of delivering snacks out of curiosity.
“Marry her to me.”
The air seemed to be frozen for a moment.
Immediately after, two cold voices sounded at the same time. “Dream on!” Rong Yan and Ning Ansheng looked at each other and reached a consensus. One of them held a sword while the other held a brush. The former’s eyes were cold. “Your Highness, don’t you understand human language?” The latter took a deep breath and his fake smile was completely wiped away. He turned to look at his teacher. Seeing him nod slightly, Ning Ansheng tapped the tip of his pen on the ink. “I suddenly remembered that there’s still a clause that hasn’t been written. The amount of contributions that we agreed on every year just now isn’t very reasonable either. We have to discuss it again.” After saying that, he crossed out the clause that had been difficult to settle not long ago.
The Xiongnu people were about to cry. Even the Third Prince, who had been making things difficult for Chernan for a few hours, took a sip of water with a dry mouth before he was stunned.. “W-what? W-we have to do it again?”
