Chapter 237 Sincerity
The other Daxia envoys also followed suit and started cursing.
The tone of voice gradually became higher, and the words were indescribable.
The Liang State delegation was scolded bitterly, and although they knew they were wrong, they refused to admit their mistakes.
Some even said shamelessly, "We see that you are tired from the journey, so we want to give you some time to relax."
"We have our own places to relax, why do we need you to find one for us? You like pimping so much, is there something dirty going on in your court?"
When these words were spoken, the Liang State delegation was completely furious.
The two sides quarreled fiercely, attacking each other's government and the scheming used in the war. The scene was very chaotic for a time.
Xuanyuan Fanghua sat in the main seat and looked at Yao Jia calmly.
Yao Jia also looked back at her indifferently.
Someone shouted, "How dare you put your hand in my mouth?"
The fierce battle between the two sides began.
Yao Jia held his forehead with his hand, finally understanding why the negotiations had been deadlocked so many times. The whole atmosphere was like a vegetable market. Not only did they not talk about serious matters, but they were actually cursing at each other.
The Daxia delegation was very powerful, each of them was strong and muscular, and they were very decisive in a fight.
Although the Liang State delegation was large in number, most of them were weak scholars and a few prostitutes. How could they withstand such a torture?
In such chaos, Xuanyuan Fanghua didn't react.
Yao Jia thought about it and looked up at the main seat opposite, but there was no one there.
Yao Jia: …………
Are you afraid of being affected by the fight?
"It slipped away quite quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, a hat came straight at her.
Yao Jia dodged it with a quick move, and his hat flew towards Nanshan beside him.
Her heart tightened and she raised her hand to grab her hat, but Nanshan knocked it away before she could.
Yao Jia was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Sir, you also know martial arts?"
Nanshan nodded slightly, "I know some martial arts."
The fight was already going on, Yao Jia suggested, "Why don't we leave quickly? Gu Xiyan is watching here anyway, so our people won't suffer any loss. Otherwise, if we stay too long and don't join in, we will end up getting hurt."
As they were talking, someone's boots were thrown at them again.
Nanshan threw the teacup and deflected it. "What the Pavilion Master said is absolutely right. I also have the same idea."
The two of them crouched and walked out of the venue.
After this negotiation, most of the envoys in the Liang State delegation were injured, and by the time of the second negotiation, there were almost no people left.
Adhering to the principle that the number of people on both sides must be unified, Daxia will also have to give up some of its people.
"How many people will go there?" Yao Jia asked.
Nanshan took a sip of tea and said softly, "Three."
"Ah?" Yao Jia admired the fighting power of the delegation, which suddenly reduced Liang Guogan to only one main envoy and two deputy envoys.
"It's good this way. Without a bunch of people quarreling, it's quieter and we can talk about serious matters."
Nanshan nodded, "Pavilion Master is right, but we don't need to go to the meeting room for this negotiation. Princess Fanghua asked us to go to the Tianheng Painting Boat."
"Tianheng Boat? How did she get there?"
"It's not easy for people to see there."
Yao Jia frowned, "Negotiations are something that will be recorded in a book and is a public act. I'm afraid Xuanyuan Fanghua has other purposes for doing this."
Gu Xiyan thought deeply for a while and suggested, "Why don't I deploy some troops around her to prevent her from doing anything bad to the Pavilion Master."
Yao Jia wanted to refuse, but she heard Nanshan say, "General Gu's suggestion is very good, so I'll trouble General Gu to go ahead first."
After getting the nod, Gu Xiyan immediately took his personal soldiers over and moved all the boats that were parked around the pleasure boat away. He also had archers wait on fishing boats in the distance to ensure that no bird or fish could get close to the boats.
When the two arrived at the houseboat, except for the six envoys from both sides, only Gu Xiyan and the little eunuch next to Xuanyuan Fanghua were left on the houseboat.
To ensure fairness, the rest of the people were servants sent by the Lord of Crescent City.
After they sat down, Xuanyuan Fanghua raised her glass to Gu Xiyan and smiled sweetly, "I didn't know you were the famous General Gu a few days ago. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."
Seeing that she was sincere in admitting her mistake, Gu Xiyan did not make things difficult for her. He raised his glass and clinked it with hers before putting it down.
Yao Jia watched from the side, sneered, raised her hand to pour herself a glass of wine, and said softly: "Since the princess is sincere, we will naturally not be stingy. I just don't know if the princess is sincere in this negotiation?"
Xuanyuan Fanghua was slightly stunned when she heard this, as if she didn't expect Yao Jia to be so direct. The smile on her face faded a little, "Isn't it true that I came here in person?"
Yao Jia didn't care. Wasn't she present a few days ago? She even asked those people from the brothel to disrupt the progress of the negotiations. How could anyone see her sincerity?
Xuanyuan Fanghua saw Yao Jia's concerns, stood up and walked in front of her, stretched out his hand to hold Yao Jia's wrist, "Come with me, leave the negotiation to those who are good at it, you and I will wait for them to finish talking, and then come back to sign our names."
Yao Jia was confused. Is this even possible?
Look back towards Nanshan.
The latter nodded at her, "Since Princess Fanghua has invited you so kindly, Pavilion Master should not refuse."
Yao Jia felt deeply that Nanshan asked her to come here just to deal with Xuanyuan Fanghua.
Xuanyuan Fanghua pulled Yao Jia to the rear of the pleasure boat, and Gu Xiyan followed closely behind.
The two of them sat at the railing and drank from their glasses.
They were of similar age and had common topics, so they had a very pleasant chat.
Gu Xiyan stood far behind the two of them, gazing deeply at Yao Jia's figure with eyes full of tenderness.
Xuanyuan Fanghua noticed his gaze, glanced at him calmly, and approached Yao Jia.
"Nangong, I heard that you are engaged to General Gu. When do you plan to get married?"
Gu Xiyan has always had good hearing, and his body stiffened instantly.
Yao Jia drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, took a deep breath and said, "There is an engagement, but it is no longer valid."
Gu Xiyan's eyes suddenly dimmed, he lowered his head slowly, and turned away.
Xuanyuan Fanghua curled her lips and then started drinking with Yao Jia.
After three rounds of drinking, both of them were a little drunk, and Yao Jia suggested going back to the room to rest.
Xuanyuan Fanghua shook his head and refused, "I don't want to go in, I just want to stay here."
When she said this, she looked sad, as if she had a lot on her mind.
Yao Jia sighed and had to sit down again to accompany him.
Xuanyuan Fanghua suddenly said: "Nangong, do you know the pain in my heart?"
Yao Jia's heart moved and she turned her head to look over. The woman's eyebrows were slightly frowned, the corners of her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
He put down the wine glass in his hand and reached out to gently stroke Xuanyuan Fanghua's back.
"Princess, what's wrong? If you have anything to say, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you share some of your worries. Don't cry. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
Xuanyuan Fanghua leaned his body, which was half a head taller than Yao Jia, on her shoulder.
"Today is actually my...brother's death anniversary, but I am here and cannot go to the imperial mausoleum to see him..."
Yao Jia knew that the brother she was talking about was the former crown prince of Liang State, Xuanyuan Wenyuan, who died young.
Prince Wenyuan was intelligent, kind, eloquent, and the Emperor of Liang took him to attend government affairs when he was five or six years old. He was intelligent and thoughtful, and could share the emperor's worries when he was seven years old. Nangong Wanning once predicted that he would be the "eternal wise ruler" of Liang in the future.
When Yaojia was a child, her mother often compared her with the prince.
Unfortunately, Prince Wenyuan died of a sudden illness when he was eight years old.
I'm really jealous of the talent.
All in all, if Prince Wenyuan were still alive, he would only be eighteen years old this year, half a year younger than her.
"The dead cannot be resurrected. Princess, please accept my condolences. If you want to pay tribute to him, how about I recite a mantra for him?"
Xuanyuan Fanghua immediately stood up and looked at her, biting her delicate lips, "Nangong, could you please write down the Rebirth Mantra, so that I can recite it for him every year in the future."
