Chapter 498 The Lion's Big Opening
Not long after, Deshan brought Miaoyin and others into the commander's mansion.
Seeing Long Chen, Deshan's face froze, he felt a little apprehensive, and Miaoyin and others were even more afraid behind him.
Niu Yang and Gao Nian sat next to them. Although Deshan had never met them, he could guess their identities.
"Poor monk Deshan, I have met two elders."
Niu Yang and Gao Nian got up, and said in return: "Master, you are polite, please sit down."
Monk Deshan sat down, and Miaoyin and others stood behind him, sweating profusely on his head, and he didn't know if it was too hot or what.
Long Chen glanced at Deshan, and said to Niu Yang: "This time, the world will be a moderate person, so I'll trouble the Great Elder to talk about it."
Niu Yang nodded, and said: "We in the world have always advocated that peace and prosperity will generate wealth, and the last thing we want is war between the two countries. This time, Eastern Zhou and Xixia fought so badly. This is not what we in the world would like to see."
Niu Yang's face was blushing and his heart was beating, Wu Jian and Zhang Qian felt nauseated.
But Long Chen listened with gusto, with a look of approval on his face, he kept nodding his head, and praised in his heart: Damn it, to meet someone more shameless than me, awesome!
Gao Nian was sitting next to him, knowing that what Niu Yang said was nonsense, Long Chen's expression of approval made him very surprised, is this Long Chen stupid?Believe all this?
Seeing that Long Chen agreed with his nonsense, Niu Yang was very happy in his heart, and continued: "So, under the order of the president, I sent us two old men to mediate. I hope the two sides can shake hands and make peace."
Niu Yang looked at Long Chen and Deshan, and Gao Nian nodded slightly beside him.
Long Chen glanced at Deshan, and said with a chuckle: "The world will maintain the balance of power in the world, and I don't want all countries to start a war. I fully agree."
"Speaking of what happened this time, Xixia was at fault. They shouldn't have invaded, causing heavy casualties to our Eastern Zhou soldiers."
"The elders came forward to mediate on behalf of the Tianxiahui. They want us to stop the war and make peace. On behalf of Eastern Zhou, I agree."
Niu Yang was very happy, Long Chen was still very respectful.
"Master Deshan, what do you think?"
Gao Nian looked at Deshan.
"The world will come forward to mediate, and we Xixia will definitely agree. It's just that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty invaded our territory and seized our Zhenguo Temple. If we want to cease the war, we must return the invaded territory."
Deshan sets out his own conditions for a truce.
Monk Kongji asked Tianxiahui to come forward, just to get Zhenguo Temple back through negotiation, Shi Le also said.
Niu Yang looked at Long Chen and said, "What does Dazhu Kingdom think?"
Long Chen's face changed suddenly, and he cursed: "Bulk! You invaded first, and you killed my soldiers first. For the sake of the elders, you would have sacrificed your bald head to the flag long ago. How dare you ask for Zhenguo Temple!"
Zhang Qian and Long Chen drew their swords at the same time, a group of soldiers rushed into the commander's mansion and blocked the gate.
Miaoyin was trembling with fright behind her, and secretly cried out in her heart: I said earlier that this is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, and the master will come again!
Deshan was speechless after being scolded, so he had to say to Niu Yang: "Elder, the poor monk came here on the order of the king. If you want to stop the war, you must return it to Zhenguo Temple, otherwise you can only continue to fight!"
Niu Yang knew long ago that Long Chen would not return it in vain, what he just said was just a routine.
"The cause of this war was indeed in Xixia, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did suffer a lot."
"Master Ke Deshan came here at the king's order, and Zhenguo Temple must be returned."
"Oh... the old man is also a little embarrassed."
Niu Yang smiled and glanced at Gao Nian, beckoning him to speak.
Gao Nian said: "I don't know what conditions Dazhu Kingdom would like to return Zhenguo Temple?"
Finally, it comes to conditions.
Long Chen will definitely make a condition, but this condition cannot be made to the Tianxiahui, only to Xixia.
"Please excuse the rudeness of the younger generation, the Zhenguo Temple was taken by my Da Zhou soldiers with their lives, and it cannot be returned!"
Long Chen flatly refused.
Gao Nian knew that Long Chen was bargaining, so he wasn't angry, and said with a smile: "Everything has a price, and everything is a sale, Dazhu Kingdom will set a price."
Long Chen was silent for a while, then turned his head and glanced at Wu Jian, Wu Jian immediately waved his hand and asked the guards to leave the door.
"Zhenguo Temple is a strategically important place. Our soldiers in the Zhou Dynasty suffered heavy casualties and cost countless money and food. It is logically impossible to return it."
"But since the world will come forward, and the two elders personally mediate, if I don't agree, it will be disrespectful."
When Niu Yang and Gao Nian heard Long Chen let go, they also agreed with themselves and were very happy.
"In this way, it's okay to return it. Xixia must compensate for the loss of my Dazhou war this time, and pay it off in one lump sum!"
"My Great Zhou soldiers died 4, plus the money and food consumed, Xixia has to pay 1 million gold coins!"
Long Chen offered the price, and the two elders and Deshan jumped up in fright.
"What! 1000 million gold coins! You are a lion!"
Deshan stood up, pointed at Long Chen and shouted.
Niu Yang and Gao Nian were also shocked, this figure is simply sky-high.
Zhang Qian and Wu Jian were also stunned behind them, they didn't expect Long Chen to have such a big appetite!
Long Chen said angrily: "Old bald donkey! If you feel that you are at a loss, you don't have to!"
Deshan shouted: "You have less than 2 casualties this time, how can you kill 1000 in battle! No matter how much food and grass are consumed, it is less than [-] million gold coins! Moreover, you robbed the Panhe Palace, and countless gold, silver and jewels fell to you In the pocket, how will this account be settled!"
Long Chen sneered and said: "The gold, silver and jewels in the Panhe Palace were obviously taken away by your guards and eunuchs, you put the blame on me, what a fart!"
The treasures in the palace were indeed raided by the Long family army, but Long Chen didn't take anything.
Moreover, those things were rewarded to soldiers and could not be counted as treasury revenue.
Deshan said angrily, "You obviously took it!"
Long Chen sneered, "Do you have evidence?"
Deshan's face turned pale with anger, facing such a rascal Long Chen, he had nothing to do.
Seeing that the two sides were arguing, Niu Yang tried to persuade him, "Calm down, both of you, and listen to what the old man has to say."
The two sides stopped arguing and waited for Niu Yang to speak.
"Dazhu Kingdom does have losses, but 1 million gold coins is indeed too much, and Xixia may not be able to pay."
"According to what Dazhu Kingdom said, 4 people died in battle, and each soldier who died in battle will be given 100 gold coins as compensation, plus 100 million gold coins for the loss of food and grass. How about a total of 500 million gold coins?"
Niu Yang cut Long Chen in half.
"You are worthy of being an elder of the Tianxiahui. You have killed half of the price by opening your mouth! You speak, and I admit it!"
"Except for the fallen soldiers and the loss of food and grass, the Zhenguo Temple was brought down by me. If you want to go back, you must have a ransom! At least 300 million gold coins!"
Long Chen not only gave Niu Yang face, but also raised the price.
Deshan stood up again angrily, and said angrily: "Zhen Guo Temple is originally my territory in Xixia, why do you want to redeem it!"
Gao Nian felt that Deshan didn't give face, so he said coldly: "Whoever occupies it is his. Long Chengen occupies Zhenguo Temple and he owns it. I think the ransom is no problem, so I will reduce it by half. 150 million gold coins will be used as the ransom!"
Long Chen immediately said: "The second elder has opened his mouth, and this junior also recognizes it!"
Gao Nian nodded slightly, very satisfied with Long Chen's appearance of buying it.
Deshan felt like a year pig, being pressed on the cutting board and stabbed with a knife to let the blood out.
In the whole negotiation, he had no part to speak at all, he just came here to be taken advantage of.
"Master, what do you think?"
Niu Yang asked Deshan.
