The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1785

Chapter 1785: 873 Grandfather and Grandson (Third Watch)

The key to this peace negotiation lies with Yuan Tang. Taking down both countries is contingent on Yuan Tang agreeing to the negotiation; if Yuan Tang refuses, then the progress on Zhao Country’s side will inevitably not be too smooth.

"Will the crown prince Yuan Tang from Chen Country agree?"

After Yuan Tang left, an elderly general accompanying them in the barracks asked.

Xiao Hen turned over the battle reports on the table: "Find a way to send the victory report of Quyang City to Chen Country."

Without the news of Liang Country’s defeat, it might be a bit tricky.

But now, it’s foolproof.

Yuan Tang is an ambitious heir, he will never be content being a puppet crown prince, which is why he urgently needs to establish military achievements and build his reputation in the court, the army, and among the people.

However, if defeat is destined, then Yuan Tang’s gamble will become the final death knell for him.

"Your Highness Changsun." A guard’s report sounded from outside the door, and his tone was noticeably off.

Xiao Hen understood and said, "Come in."

The guard led in a person dressed as a cook.

The man had come once before, Xiao Hen and the elderly general were not unfamiliar with him.

The two looked at him, and he clasped his hands and saluted, saying in standard Yan Country dialect: "Report to Your Highness Changsun of Dayan, my young master wants to ask, have you considered it? Whatever the crown prince can give, my young master can also give. Whatever the crown prince cannot give, my young master can still give."

Xiao Hen, without hesitation, said, "I’m not interested in your Chen Country’s internal strife. If you have the ability, let your liege become the crown prince of Chen Country first."

The cook smiled: "Does Your Highness really think that Crown Prince Yuan Tang will agree? Even if he agrees, he won’t achieve anything significant, and I’m afraid by then he might drag Yan Country down."

Xiao Hen said casually: "I only know that he became the crown prince, and your liege did not."

A single sentence made the cook blush.

He was naturally not a real cook but a subordinate of Chen Country’s second prince.

His anger surged, and he said mockingly: "I think you Yan Country have been swelling for too long, really thinking you can win against Jin and Liang countries by allying with a few smaller countries? Foolish dreams! You Yan Country are already surrounded on all sides, my liege is willing to cooperate with you out of courtesy! An intelligent person recognizes the trends; your Yan Country should not be too arrogant!"

The elderly general drew his sword with killing intent: "Insolent! How dare you disrespect the esteemed Grandson of Dayan!"
