Chapter 1450 Persuasion

Before Qi Feng spoke, Sun Zhongcai spoke first: "I wonder if you, Your Excellency the Envoy, can you tell us what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is planning to do by borrowing Yangyu Pass? You should know that Yangyu Pass is the border checkpoint of our Black Water Country and the first line of defense against the attacks of the Nanping people. It is very important to our Black Water Country. If we don't know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's purpose, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to agree to this."

Qi Feng looked at Sun Zhongcai with a little surprise. Yangyu Pass is not in their hands now. Even if they want to borrow it, they can't. Sun Zhongcai should know this, but if he knows it, why does he say so?

However, Qi Feng did not expose Sun Zhongcai in person. After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to have guessed Sun Zhongcai's thoughts. He looked at Sun Zhongcai with admiration again.

"Our Shuiyue Country has reached an agreement with Tianji Country to attack Yanfeng Country at the same time." Wu Fan said: "However, both sides have decided to fight separately. Our Shuiyue Country will not join forces with the army of Tianji Country. In this way, if you want to attack Yanfeng Country, you naturally have to pass through your Heishui Country, and Yangyu Pass is the only way. Once the battle starts, Yanfeng Country will definitely send troops to assist Nanping Country in defense. In this way, your Yangyu Pass is likely to become the front line of the war. Although our Crown Prince did not like military affairs in the past, he also wants to make a difference in this war. Therefore, he is willing to borrow Yangyu Pass from your country. As long as Yangyu Pass is guarded, other armies have to act according to the mood of our Crown Prince. His Royal Highness will be able to handle this war with ease." Wu Fan was very clear about the fact that Shuiyue Country and Tianji Country would not join forces, and he did not mind telling everyone in Heishui Country here. Anyway, he was not from Shuiyue Country, so he did not care even if the secret was leaked. Wu Fan spoke calmly, but Qi Feng, Sun Zhongcai and others were shocked. Many of the things Wu Fan said were things they had never heard of before. While they were secretly shocked by the plans of Shuiyue Kingdom and Yelu Honglin, they also believed in Wu Fan's identity as a secret envoy.

Yelu Honglin, as the crown prince, was threatened by Yelu Hongfei everywhere. Now he wanted to gain some benefits in this rare war. This was too normal. Therefore, when Wu Fan said this, Qi Feng, Sun Zhongcai and others did not doubt it at all. They even felt that if Yelu Honglin was still indifferent at this time and let Yelu Hongfei take the limelight in this war, then there must be something wrong with his brain.

Since they fully understood Yelu Honglin's thoughts, Qi Feng, Sun Zhongcai and others naturally would not doubt the authenticity of Wu Fan's words. It was completely reasonable for Yelu Honglin to want to take over Yangyu Pass temporarily.

With Yangyu Pass in hand, Yelu Honglin would indeed have a lot of room for operation at that time, and naturally he could gain more benefits.

"Your Majesty, once the war begins, Yangyu Pass will become very important, with troops stationed there, food stored, etc. Forgive me for being blunt, it may not be a good thing for you to have Yangyu Pass in your hands. At that time, many forces may want to take advantage of Yangyu Pass. Therefore, handing Yangyu Pass over to our Crown Prince will not do you any harm. Our Crown Prince will also remember your friendship and will definitely repay you in the future." Wu Fan continued.

Acting the whole set, Wu Fan seemed to have completely entered his role, and did not realize that he did not need to say so much. According to his original intention when he first came, as long as Qi Feng and others believed in his identity as a secret envoy, with this identity, he could take Peng Chuan and others out of the city, but now, Wu Fan is getting deeper and deeper.

Wu Fan's words made Qi Feng's eyes light up.

Previously, because a member of the Shuiyue Kingdom's royal family died in the battle of Shanling Pass, the relationship between the Black Water Kingdom and the Shuiyue Kingdom became very tense. He personally went to the Shuiyue Kingdom to apologize and was humiliated by the Shuiyue Kingdom, which made Qi Feng very angry.

But at the same time, Qi Feng was still very afraid of the Shuiyue Kingdom in his heart and wanted to repair the relationship with the Shuiyue Kingdom. This is also the contradictory mentality of many Black Water people.

However, Qi Feng has never found a suitable opportunity to repair the relationship with the Shuiyue Kingdom. Now, such an opportunity seems to be in front of him.

If you can build a good relationship with Yelu Honglin, it will be very beneficial. Although Yelu Hongfei is the most favored prince of the Shuiyue Kingdom, Yelu Honglin is the real prince after all. As long as he does not make a big mistake, Yelu Zong may not be able to abolish his status as the prince. If Yelu Honglin performs well in this war, then the position of the prince will be very stable.

Through this war, he and Yelu Honglin have established a good relationship. When Yelu Honglin ascends the throne in the future, he will naturally benefit from it.

Thinking of this, Qi Feng was very excited about the cooperation with Yelu Honglin.

"It's a pity that Yangyu Pass is not in my hands now, otherwise, I have to lend Yangyu Pass to Yelu Honglin no matter what." Qi Feng thought to himself.

Qi Feng was about to tell the truth about Yangyu Pass, but Sun Zhongcai spoke again: "Your Excellency the Envoy, your suggestion is very tempting to us, but this is a big deal after all, so I think our Majesty needs to consider it."

"Of course." Wu Fan said: "But I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. After all, this war may break out at any time."

"Definitely."

Qi Feng received Sun Zhongcai's eye hint, nodded to Wu Fan, and then asked someone to arrange for Wu Fan to go down and rest.

Of course, according to Wu Fan's request, he was on a secret mission this time, so it was not appropriate to let too many people know about it. Therefore, when he was arranged to rest in the palace, he was also arranged in a more remote place.

"Your Majesty, I think we should agree to the request of the prince of Shuiyue Kingdom." After Wu Fan left, Sun Zhongcai said to Qi Feng.

"General Sun, have you forgotten that Yangyu Pass is not in our hands now? If it is, we should naturally agree to it. But the problem is that Yangyu Pass is now in the hands of the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom. How can we agree to it?" As soon as Sun Zhongcai finished speaking, other ministers said.

"Yes, if the prince of Shuiyue knew that we teased him, he would be unhappy."

"Your Majesty, I think we should tell the truth to the envoy of Shuiyue to avoid offending the prince of Shuiyue."

Everyone was talking at once. Those who were able to be retained by Qi Feng were naturally important officials of Heishui Kingdom. At this time, their opinions on what Wu Fan mentioned were almost the same: they did not object to cooperating with Yelu Honglin, but the problem was that Yangyu Pass was not in their hands, and they had no capital to cooperate.
