Legend of Sword King

He hadn't returned to the capital for so many years, and now that he was back, the Qin Emperor didn't have the chance to meet him in advance, so it was fine to tell him about the relationship between father and son. But in the imperial court, he actually didn't give him any face at all.    

    

But the result was still good.    

    

Although the Qin Emperor was unhappy, the Qin was too busy fighting the Jin Nation. For the time being, he had no time to split up and advance westward, so he could only choose to negotiate with Xi Liang.    

    

However, the price offered by the Qin Emperor was extremely harsh. He demanded that Xi Liang give away the land of the three prefectures.    

    

"The conditions are indeed too harsh. However, from my point of view, the Qin Emperor was asking for a sky-high price to pay me back. As long as the negotiation can proceed, we will have time to work. As for the terms of the agreement, I will have the officials below go and discuss it slowly with the officials of the Qin. "    

    

Hearing Li Muhao's account of the results of the assembly, Ji Ning was very relieved.    

    

Of course, he knew that when it came to judging matters like this, both parties had to first offer a price that the other party would never accept before making concessions to each other. During this process, they had to maximize their own profits.    

    

According to common sense, Xi Liang would still have to sacrifice some of his prefectures.    

    

However, in the current situation, Ji Ning didn't have to worry about this at all. He was afraid that before the negotiation was completed, the situation in the Qin would change.    

    

"Since the situation meets the requirements, then we don't have to delay any longer. Let's head east then." Cheng Qing made his decision. In this group, even though Ji Ning was the Western Lion King, he was still Cheng Qing.    

    

After Li Muhao understood the intentions of Cheng Qing and his men, he said with concern, "Big brother, the Qin and Jin kingdoms are big, both sides have armies of experts. This trip to the Eastern Battlefield is dangerous, are you really going to do this?"    

    

Cheng Qing patted Li Muhao on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry about us. You just need to stay in Xianyang and stay there properly. The diplomatic mission that is going to negotiate the peace agreement between Xi Liang and the Qin Nation will arrive soon. At that time, I will need you to look after them.    

    

"In these few days, all you need to do is walk around and get familiar with the ministers and experts of the Qin Nation. In case the situation changes and you get the chance, these ministers and experts would come out to obstruct you, becoming your enemies. "    

    

Li Muhao solemnly nodded, "Don't worry Big Brother, I know what to do."    

    

When Cheng Qing and the rest left Xianyang, Li Muzhao sent a few subordinates to accompany them. They mainly served as guides for the two parties to communicate with each other.    

    

Originally, Li Muhao wanted to send out experts to help, but because he had left the Qin Nation for too long, he didn't have much influence in Xianyang, nor could he send out any powerful experts. Furthermore, Cheng Qing didn't want his actions to attract any attention, so he didn't make things difficult for him.    

    

After leaving Xianyang, Cheng Qing and the others, they used their cultivation bases to travel day and night. Amongst the four of them, he and Ji Ning were all at the lesser celestial stage. Yang Ruoxi and Song Xuejun were both at the peak of the higher realm, so even if they brought a guide, their full speed would still be extremely fast.    

    

Within a few days, everyone had arrived at the Wei River.    

    

"Qin and Jin, with the Wei River as the boundary, the east of the river as the capital, and the west of the river as Qin. Right now, the Qin Army has crossed the Weihe River and attacked the borders of the Jin Nation in the east of the river.    

    

The guide sent by Li Muzhao introduced the situation of the battlefield to Cheng Qing and the others.    

    

The leader of the Qin army, Bai Jian, was a cultivator at the sixth level of the Lesser Heaven stage, which was much stronger than winning against Wu.    

    

This was actually quite normal. After all, Ying Wu only had a hundred thousand soldiers under his command, while White Bane had an army of two million.    

    

There were also quite a few small heaven realm masters in the army, and their numbers couldn't even be counted with one hand.
