Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 328: Banquet is over, time for negotiation is arranged

The officials of Dongjie State raised their glasses in dismay, exchanged glances with each other and stopped talking to the officials of Ansheng State. They pretended not to care and started drinking. They couldn't find out anything anyway, so they just ate and drank well first.

The third prince, Yelu Yixin, saw this and joined in the drinking and chatting without saying anything more. He probably knew what the other party meant and it seemed that they were not prepared to make big concessions, because they were the winners!

Sometimes he wondered what would happen if he had agreed to the peace talks from the beginning. He wouldn't be so passive! In this case, when the negotiations came, he would try his best to recover the losses and strive for the greatest benefit.

Anyway, he would do his best to get what he wanted until the last moment. Since he came here on behalf of Dongjie Kingdom, he had to exchange for food and salt.

The ninth prince Zhang Liang looked nonchalant, as he urged everyone to drink and watched the dancers in the hall dancing. He knew that he didn't need to do anything now, as they had already overwhelmed each other in terms of momentum.

As the host, they had absolute initiative. The content of the peace talks was drafted by them, and of course they would take their own interests as the starting point. He could already foresee the outcome of the negotiations. As long as they stick to their position, they should win this time.

At the end of the lively banquet, officials from Dongjie and Ansheng were all drunk, especially those from Dongjie, who were staring at the dancers. Their eyes followed these beautiful women with slender waists and pretty faces. These women were very different from the women of their own tribe, which made them want to have them for themselves.

Some of them started to make other requests, but Ansheng would not agree to their requests. This was a slap in the face of Ansheng. If they wanted women, they could pay for prostitutes. They would not give women to these Dongjie people casually, as it would insult the prestige of Ansheng.

Finally, these people stopped making trouble under the scolding of the Third Prince. Yelu Yixin also took his group back to the post station on the grounds of drinking too much. Although he also felt that Ansheng Kingdom was not generous, it was just some servants and dancers, so what was there to be angry about.

The women in their tribe were usually given to the officers and soldiers at will. Women were just men's playthings, so why would they be reluctant to part with them? In the past, they had captured many women from Ansheng Country. It was just that the women here were too weak and it was difficult for them to survive.

All of his men had a few women, and they had tasted the women of Ansheng Country, so they were more interested in them. Back at the post station, the drunken men had nothing to do, so they paid someone to bring some prostitutes over, and each of them hugged one and went to have sex with her.

If they hadn't paid a huge price, these prostitutes would have shaken their heads and refused to come when they heard they were going to serve the people of Dongjie. In the end, it turned out that the people here were rich and threw a lot of jewelry over. The madam was blinded by the money and sent these prostitutes over.

The Ninth Prince disdained these women, he went back and fell asleep. He didn't lack women at all, there were so many noble women in Kyoto, so he wouldn't just pick these dirty women when he came here.

The third prince Zhang Liang was young and was used to women, but he would not just take one here. He knew what he was doing here and would not leave any handle for his brothers.

The royal family members said they were free, but that was only relative. In fact, there were people secretly watching their every move. He also sent people to watch others. Since he was able to cultivate his power, he has been constantly infiltrating places where he can reach out.

If you are too honest and know nothing about your brothers, you will be the first one to suffer in the end. He understood this truth when he grew up. You can choose not to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.

As for his officials, he was not stingy at all. If anyone had a fancy, he would directly reward them. These women used their beauty to seduce men, not just to seek such an opportunity, but whether they could seize it depended on their ability.
