Chapter 160
When Tang Yin finished speaking, not to mention the expressions of the four young men changed, even the princess Xiaona was secretly surprised. She couldn't tell that Tang Yin was not only powerful and powerful, but also had an astoundingly shrewd mind. Read the full text.
These four young men were all born into aristocratic families. They were born with titles, noble status, and prominent positions. They were typical princelings. They were young and energetic. After hearing Tang Yin’s analysis, they were both surprised and filled with indignation. The middle one The young man said angrily: "I'll go find the Duke and ask him clearly!"
As he spoke, he stood up from the ground with difficulty, holding on to his painful lower back.
Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to ask. What can I do if I ask clearly? Kenis is not someone you can offend, and it is not someone your family can offend."
This is true. As a duke and the king's brother, Kenis, even if it is true that Tang Yin said that he only uses the five of them, what can he do? "Then... let's go report this to His Majesty."
"Ha!" Tang Yin shook his head and laughed. He didn't know whether these young nobles from Besa were really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He said: "Kniss is the younger brother of His Majesty the King. Do you think His Majesty the King can bear to punish him? Reporting to the King will only make it difficult for the King. Then not only Kniss will hate you, but His Majesty the King will also hate you. I will hate you."
Gulu! The young man swallowed his spit and froze for a while, like a deflated ball. He stood up and leaned against the wall before sitting down softly.
Tang Yin looked at the young man, then whispered to the other four, pointed at the unconscious young man, and said, "Take your companions and let's go!"
"You...are you really willing to let us go?" The four young men raised their heads in surprise and looked at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin shrugged and said, "It's not your fault this time. Let's go before I change my mind!"
The four young men bit their lips, supported each other and slowly stood up from the ground, then pulled their unconscious companion out of the wall, carried him on his back, and walked slowly outside.
When passing by Tang Yin, the four of them looked at him deeply, with less fear and more gratitude.
"My name is Brian Lucas. I owe you a favor this time, and I will repay it if I have the chance in the future."
The other three young men also took their names and limped out of Tang Yin's room.
Tang Yin was not a kind person, but he was not a scheming person either. If he really killed them now, he would have fallen into Kenis's trap. He would not do such a stupid thing. And keeping the five of them might help him in the future.
After they left, Tang Yin turned his head and his eyes fell on Xiaona.
Xiaona was also looking at him intently. Tang Yin was clearly rude to her just now and even took off her clothes, but the strange thing was that she couldn't hate him. Even Shawna found this weird. Thinking about it, she unconsciously glanced at Tang Yin's palm. It was even weirder that an ordinary hand could turn into a knife. She suddenly realized that Tang Yin was like a mist, even though he was close to her. It's close at hand, but you can't see through it and you can't touch it.
She stared straight at herself, Tang Yin raised the corners of his mouth, and showed an evil smile. His eyes deliberately dropped, and he looked at the torn clothes on Xiaona's chest without hesitation, and said: "You look like this, it's obvious Are you trying to seduce me?" As he spoke, he stood up and walked slowly towards Xiaona.
When Xiaona came back to her senses, she realized that she was disheveled and that she was in the same room with Tang Yin. A sense of crisis arose spontaneously. She hurriedly took a few steps back. At the same time, she grasped the torn collar and looked at Tang Yin warily. , said: "If you dare to be rude to me, I will tell my father and let him punish you."
Tang Yin laughed, kept walking, and said, "Do you think I'm afraid?" As he said that, he pushed Xiaona to the corner, stretched out his hand, and touched her cheek.
Xiaona screamed as if she had been bitten by a snake, then pushed Tang Yin away and ran quickly towards the door.
As far as the clone is concerned, he really can't do anything to Xiaona. Seeing the princess running away without any temperament, he laughed even more.
"Tang Yin, I won't just let go of what happened today!" Xiaona didn't forget to turn around and say a harsh word before leaving the house.
"Your Highness, Princess, is welcome to come back for discussion next time." Tang Yin said with a shrug.
"Hmph!" Xiaona snorted heavily and disappeared outside the door.
call! Tang Yin sighed, looked at the empty room, leaned back, fell on the bed, and said faintly: "It was such a lively night."
That night, the incident of five noble young men from Besa coming to assassinate Tang Yin did not make a big fuss, and there was not even the slightest news about it. Of course, no one knew about Princess Xiaona breaking into Tang Yin's room at night. What seemed like this night It was as if nothing had happened. Both the city of Bessa and the palace of Bessa were still peaceful.
In the early morning, Shangguan Yuanrang came to the hotel and met Tang Yin. When he entered Tang Yin's room and saw a large dent in the wall, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Sir, there must be something here last night." It’s very lively!”
Tang Yin glanced at Shangguan Yuanrang, who was smiling happily, and said, "It's not only lively, but also the beauty Besa came to my door!"
"Oh?" Shangguan Yuanrang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he murmured: "There is such a good thing." After saying that, he looked at Tang Yin meaningfully, moved his eyes downward, and said suspiciously: "You... …Can your clone do that kind of thing?”
"Ha ha--"
Tang Yin laughed, neither admitting nor denying it, and deliberately whetted Guan Yuan Rang's appetite.
After breakfast, he was invited into the palace by officials from Besa. Along the way, Shangguan Yuanrang was still curiously asking if Tang Yin had really slept with a woman from Besa.
This time, the peace talks at the Besa King's Court were mainly focused on the issue of compensation.
Tang Yin now had Tianyuan County as his foundation and was confident. He argued endlessly with Besa ministers over the issue of compensation. During yesterday's peace talks, not many ministers agreed to pay reparations, but during today's peace talks, five more important ministers suddenly appeared in favor of reparations, and the balance also tilted towards Tang Yin.
Kenis' face was frighteningly ugly, and his eyes were about to burst out of fire as he stood above the royal court. He had planned well, but in the end, he failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, and forced all five ministers to Tang Yin's side. He even started to speak for Tang Yin. He hated those five useless young nobles, and even more hated Tang Yin, the culprit.
The peace negotiations continued from morning to noon. Finally, both parties finally agreed. Besa City State compensated Pingyuan County with 200,000 gold, 2 million silver, and 5,000 war horses. This compensation was somewhat different from the conditions proposed by Tang Yin. But it was not easy to get the always arrogant Besa to accept soft compensation. Qiu Zhen, who was sitting behind the scenes, nodded in agreement after careful consideration.
At this point, the peace talks between the two sides finally came to an end without any danger. Tang Yin and the city-state of Besa finally stopped invading and plundering each other, stopped fighting, and the two sides coexisted peacefully, and trade began on the border.
After the peace talks, Sanchez prepared a banquet in the palace to entertain Tang Yin. At the banquet, Tang Yin did not see Xiaona, but met the five noble young men who assassinated him late at night.
Neither party mentioned a word about the assassination. It was obvious that the five of them were very grateful to Tang Yin for keeping the secret and not mentioning it to Sanchez. In addition, their fathers, who were ministers of Besa, also came to Tang Yin one after another. He toasted to him enthusiastically, without saying much, but knowing it tacitly in his heart.
Tang Yin let five young people go, which meant that he had won over five important ministers of Besa without spending a single gold or silver. This result was something he had not expected at the beginning. When Tang Yin borrowed troops from Besa in the future, these five ministers also helped him a lot.
After the banquet, Sanchez wanted to persuade Tang Yin to stay in Besa City for a longer period of time, but the latter politely refused. It was not suitable to stay in a place of right and wrong for a long time, and there were many affairs in the county waiting for him to deal with.
Seeing that Tang Yin refused, Sanchez had no choice but to let him go.
Before leaving, many officials from Besa came to see him off. This was very different from the scene when Tang Yin came. From this, it is not difficult to see that the Besa royal court was generally satisfied with the outcome of the peace negotiation.
After retracting his clone and returning his aura, Tang Yin, who had been trapped in the carriage for two whole days, finally dared to come out and show his face.
When he got outside the car, he took a long breath and stretched his muscles, making the bones creak. This time he had a profound understanding of the magical effect of the shadow clone. If it weren't for his insufficient cultivation and the limitation of distance, then his real body would only need to sit in Shunzhou to let the clone go to Bessa City to negotiate peace.
After the peace talks, Tang Yin and his party embarked on the long road back home. Just like when they came, Besa still sent a large number of guards to escort them.
The conclusion of the peace talks was crucial to Tang Yin. It not only eliminated his worries, but also gained a powerful ally. The two countries started trade, which brought huge business opportunities to Pingyuan County and even the entire Tianyuan County, which greatly improved its finances. Taxes skyrocketed. In addition, the gold and silver obtained from Besa just filled the currently insufficient silver treasury, and Besa's Pabuma made up for the lack of cavalry in the Tianyuan Army.
Regarding the peace negotiations between the two parties, the people of Pingyuan County were happy, but also slightly angry. They were happy that the two sides were no longer fighting, and no longer had to worry about the invasion and killing of barbarians. They were angry that the hatred between the two countries was as deep as the sea. How can we just talk about peace talks? Who will avenge the relatives and compatriots who died at the hands of barbarians?
Not to mention the common people, even most of the soldiers have this kind of complex and contradictory psychology.
At the beginning, the people in Pingyuan County were not willing to do business with the Besa people at all. The border towns were open, but few people in Pingyuan County were willing to do business in Besa City. On the contrary, merchants from other counties and even other princes were willing to do business. After hearing the news, businessmen from the country flocked to seize business opportunities.
Regardless of whether it was due to local protection or not, Shangguan Yuanji was keenly aware of the benefits and immediately made adjustments to the internal affairs policy. Businessmen outside the county not only did not enjoy tax reductions, but also had to increase their income. 30% of the commercial tax, but even so, businessmen from other places are still pouring in. Many people even moved their families to Tianyuan County in order to enjoy the local preferential treatment. This brings another benefit, that is, Tianyuan County population increased significantly.
