(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of "Lonely Heroes".)

"Okay, Ambassador Yuan, Yuan Gai Suwen, there are only three of us now, and there is no fourth person. If there is something inconvenient for others to hear, you can tell me now." Wang Junlin Said with a smile on his face.

Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gai Suwen looked at each other, and the former said: "Qin An Gong is really quick to speak. The fact that my son Yuan Gai Su Wen killed the Turkic prince before was not to put the blame on Qin An Gong, but he and the Turkic prince It’s just a personal grievance between the two, please forgive me for the misunderstanding caused by this.”

Wang Junlin sneered noncommittally, and said: "I have always been pragmatic in my work, and I only pay attention to reality. Let's not talk about these nonsense, just talk about the deal!"

Yuan Taizuo looked serious when he heard the words, and said: "In that case, I have something I want to have a good talk with Qin Angong."

Wang Junlin smiled and said, "Please tell me."

"What should Qin Angong do to let our father and son go?" Yuan Taizuo said with a nervous expression.

Wang Junlin pointedly said: "Why don't Ambassador Yuan talk about your sincerity first."

Yuan Taizuo took a deep breath and said: "This old man is the ambassador of Goguryeo, and has nothing to do with the poisoning of the Turkic prince a few days ago. My subordinates have already described this matter to His Majesty the Sui Emperor, and His Majesty also agreed. After thoroughly investigating the matter, I let the old man leave. Today, the old man just wants to talk to Mr. Qin An about the conditions for letting my son Gai Suwen go."

Wang Junlin snorted coldly and said, "Ambassador Yuan's words are correct, but I can't guarantee that Ambassador Fangyuan won't die of some strange disease after leaving my prison in the Blue Clothes Guard Mansion."

"You..." Yuan Gai Suwen glared at Wang Junlin, but Yuan Taizuo stopped him with a wave of his hand.

Yuan Taizuo's deep fear of Wang Junlin was revealed in the depths of his eyes. Thinking of the prison meals and water sent by the Lanyiwei Mansion for the past few days, deep fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said : "Qin Angong acted so recklessly, isn't he afraid that the old man will tell His Majesty the Emperor Sui about this matter?"

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Ambassador Yuan can give it a try. Naturally, I won't admit it, saying that this is Ambassador Yuan's retaliation. Let's see if the imperial doctor in the palace can find out anything about Ambassador Yuan."

Yuan Taizuo's expression changed, and after a while, he said in a hateful voice: "Mr. Qin An, don't talk nonsense, just talk about how we can let our father and son leave Tai Sui intact."

Yuan Taizuo gritted his teeth when he mentioned the word 'intact', but it can also be seen that he is deeply jealous and helpless towards Wang Junlin.

Of course Wang Junlin would not despise the father and son in front of him because of this, he knew that the reason why the other party was being led by the nose by him was purely because the other party fell into his hands and he took the complete initiative.

Wang Junlin's eyes flashed brightly, he stared at Yuan Gai Su Wen and Yuan Tae Zuo, and said, "I want your Baekryung Island in Korea to be my personal domain."

Yuan Taizuo and Yuan Gai Suwen were taken aback for a moment. They thought that Wang Junlin would ask them for a huge amount of gold and silver, countless Korean beauties, and expensive specialties such as Korean ginseng. They did not expect Wang Junlin to ask them for a house. small island.

Even Yuan Gai Su Wen hadn't heard of Baengling Island, but Yuan Tae-jo had heard of it, but it was because this small island was once a place where some nobles who committed crimes in Goguryeo were exiled, and he only had this impression.

Although this small island is nothing compared to the lives of his father and son, and with their family's influence in Goguryeo, they can fulfill Wang Junlin's request, but Yuan Taizuo did not immediately agree , After pondering for a while, he didn't understand why Wang Junlin wanted this Bailing Island. If Wang Junlin said that this island was directly attributed to the Sui Dynasty, Yuan Taizuo would think that it was the Sui's intention to conquer Goguryeo. A military camp was established on the island, but Wang Junlin made it very clear that it was his private territory. Obviously Wang Junlin didn't want the Emperor of Sui to know about it. Of course, Yuan Taizuo would not threaten Wang Junlin with this matter. Knowing that he showed such intentions, would Wang Junlin leave something on him?

Thoughts flashed quickly in his mind. Although Yuan Taizuo knew that Wang Junlin wanted this Bailing Island was definitely not aimless, but no matter how smart he was, he would never think of Wang Junlin's real purpose.

So, after pondering for a while, Yuan Taizuo said: "Okay, I promise you."

Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Okay, just now I was negotiating the deal with you on my own behalf, now I am negotiating terms with you on behalf of Da Sui."

Yuan Taizuo's face suddenly became ugly, and he said, "Wang Junlin, are you teasing our father and son?"

Wang Junlin ignored the anger of the two, and said: "Ten thousand pieces of Korean ginseng, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and five thousand war horses are the ransom money for Yuan Gai Suwen. The things in the middle, I think, are worth these things. Of course, these things will not fall into my hands, and will all be presented to my Majesty, Emperor Sui, for His Majesty to decide."

Yuan Taizuo frowned tightly, 10,000 pieces of Korean ginseng and 100,000 taels of silver can be obtained with their family power, and this time it was to provoke the relationship between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty. Wen shot the assassination of the Turkic prince, which is considered a business matter. After returning home, with some means, it can also be spent from the treasury, but 5,000 horses are not a small number. Goguryeo also lacks horses, but the so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Yuan Taizuo knew that he had no room to refuse, unless he wanted to watch his most valued son die.

"Qin Angong, you promise that after the old man agrees to this condition, he will not raise any other conditions." Yuan Taizuo said indignantly.

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "I promise this is the last condition."

Yuan Taizuo said: "Okay, I promise you."

Wang Junlin said: "Very well, I will send someone to send the transaction document later, I hope that Yuan Taizuo and his son can sign and pledge. Today I will enter the palace and plead with His Majesty to Ambassador Yuan and his son. I believe that Ambassador Yuan will not be here soon. As for your son, after Ambassador Yuan completes the two conditions just mentioned, I will send someone to send him to Goguryeo.”

Imperial Palace, Royal Study Room.

For Emperor Yang Guang today, on the surface, it seems that there is no difference from ordinary days. Although the system of three provinces and six departments has been implemented now, because of Wang Junlin, Yang Guang is seven or eight years earlier than in history. The cabinet system was implemented to handle government affairs for him, but Yang Guang is now an emperor who likes to be authoritarian, so the emperor's power is still very large. Most of the court affairs must be approved by the emperor. A little out of breath.
