145, Li Zicheng negotiated the gift, and Zhu Cihong returned it twice

Li Zicheng thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "Come on, find an envoy for me to go to the Ming army camp, and say..."

"Li Zicheng wants to negotiate with Daming?"

When Zhu Cilang heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh.

It's simply nonsense.

The relationship between Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty is the relationship between the court and the rebels.

It is not that it cannot be recruited. The Ming Dynasty also recruited Zhang Xianzhong, but Li Zicheng poisoned most of Northern China. As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the backbone of the court, Zhu Cilang and Li Zicheng were absolutely immortal, and they had you but no one.

Li Guozhen sat next to Zhu Cixuan, with a very strange expression. He said to Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, we are actually not unable to meet each other. After all, the envoy said that there is a way to help us resist Jiannu."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Can you believe this guy Li Zicheng's words? Forget it, let the messenger come in. I also want to see what scheming Li Zicheng wants to do!"

A moment later, a man who was not tall but strong, and had a strong body, emitting a tough aura all over his body walked in and bowed to Zhu Cixuan.

"He Jin has met the prince."

Zhu Cixuan exclaimed and looked at the other party in surprise: "You are He Jin, what kind of Zuo Jin King?"

He Jin's expression remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice: "It's right below."

Zhu Cixuan looked at He Jin and smiled and said, "You are a thief. It seems normal to claim to be the king, but you just want to claim to be the king, but you even ran to the front of our palace. Are you thinking you are looking for death?"

He Jin's expression remained unchanged and said, "This place is the prince's territory, so it is natural that the prince's highness has the final say in doing things."

Zhu Cixuan spread his hands and said, "Tell me, what are you going to tell me about when Li Zicheng sent you here?"

He Jin said: "Your Majesty sent me to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cixuan shook his head and said, "The Ming and Li Zicheng have no such statement of peace talks. Is there anything else?"

He Jin was stunned for a moment and still said the conditions: "Your Majesty said that if the Ming Dynasty is willing to negotiate peace, he can send troops to provide assistance to the Ming Dynasty's recovery of Datong and Taiyuan."

Zhu Cixuan sighed: "Are you deaf? I have said that there is no such option for peace talks. Li Zicheng's only ending is to die under my own hands, so that he can comfort the countless soldiers who were poisoned and killed by him in the Ming Dynasty. But you, He Jin, if you want to surrender, I can consider spareing your life."

According to Li Yan's previous statement, after Liu Zongmin and others died one after another, He Jin and Li Guo are now the top generals under Li Zicheng. Of course, Zhu Cixuan didn't mind giving Li Zicheng another general by sacrificing He Jin's life.

He Jin said without hesitation: "Thank you, Prince, but I will not betray Your Majesty."

Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "Then why are you still here? Wait for me to chop your head? Go back and tell Li Zicheng that he will wash his neck, and I will kill him by myself at that time."

He Jin stared at Zhu Cilang, and his expression suddenly became a little strange.

He has also been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so of course he can feel something that ordinary people cannot feel. For example, Zhu Cixuan's words sounded very seriously to He Jin.

If Li Zicheng was caught by Zhu Cilang one day, the crown prince would really kill Li Zicheng with his own hands.

He Jin said: "Your Majesty said that as long as the Ming Dynasty is willing to grant him the four provinces of Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Gansu as fiefs, he will be willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and..."

A bang of gunshot interrupted He Jin's words.

He Jin took two steps back and looked at a small crater under his feet, his expression was quite ugly.

Zhu Ciyang shook his head and pointed the pistol in his hand at He Jin: "I'm afraid you are not a stubborn person? I have said it a few times, why are you still here to bet on Lailai?"

He Jin looked at the pistol in Zhu Cixuan's hand, and the first time he had a panic expression on his face, but it flashed away.

He Jin said calmly: "He Jin is just to fulfill His Majesty's order."

Zhu Cilang nodded and put away his pistol: "This is why your forehead has not been penetrated by my bullets yet. OK, you can get out."

Zhu Cilang has lost his patience because in his opinion it is a waste of time.

Just fight, what do you do when you say so much nonsense?

He Jin was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, our Majesty also asked me to bring a gift to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Cilang smiled: "Gift? I heard it right, let's take a look."

Li Guozhen hurriedly said, "Your Highness, be careful of fraud."

At this moment, assassin stories such as the picture-finding dagger and Xiang Zhuang's sword dance flashed through Li Guozhen's mind.

But soon, Li Guozhen knew that he was wrong.

The gift that He Jin brought to someone was actually a...

"Puppy?" Zhu Cixuan laughed: "Interesting."

Yes, the one sent by Li Zicheng was a puppy, a very, very small native dog, later known as the "Chinese Pastoral Dog". It seems that it was not long after it was born.

He Jin put the puppy on the ground and said, "This is the gift our Majesty gave to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The puppy suddenly barked twice.

Li Guozhen looked at the puppy with interest, with a smile on his face.

For some reason, Li Guozhen felt very desirable when he saw this puppy.

He Jin said: "Our Majesty said that although this puppy can bark, it actually has no lethality at all. It looks even funny. What does Your Highness think?"

Li Guozhen was a little confused and always felt that He Jin's words seemed to be pointing.

A few seconds later, Li Guozhen's face changed and he slapped his desk: "Bold, dare you disrespect Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Zicheng actually used this newborn puppy to satirize Zhu Cixuan.

The other Ming generals present were also angry and scolded each other, staring at He Jin with their eyes, wishing they could cut him into pieces on the spot.

Zhu Cilang suddenly burst into laughter.

The others looked at Zhu Ciyang in surprise, and Li Guozhen was even more nervous and ready to stand up at any time, for fear that Zhu Ciyang would suddenly go wild and do something irrational.

"Interesting, interesting." Zhu Cixuan put away his smile, whistled at the puppy, and waved to the hand to signal.

The puppy obviously hesitated for a while, but soon took a small step and ran to Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cixuan picked up the puppy and touched the puppy's head. The puppy seemed very comfortable and barked twice.

Zhu Cilang nodded with satisfaction and said, "This dog is indeed in love with me. He Jin, thank you for Li Zicheng for me after you go back. By the way, this dog probably doesn't have a name yet, right?"

He Jin shook his head: "Of course I want to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to name it."

Zhu Cixuan said: "Then name this dog 'Pingshun'. I hope it will be safe and smooth in the future. What do you think?"

He Jin's face changed slightly.

Pingshun, isn’t this what calms down?

He Jin forced a smile to the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Highness's dog, it's your highness's business for you."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "It's like this. It's impolite to come but not go. I also have someone give me a gift... Oh no, two of them are fine. Remember to bring them back to him later."

Half an hour later, He Jin returned to the city and was immediately received by Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng couldn't wait to ask: "Is that little brat Zhu Cixuan furious?"

He Jin thought for a while and said, "He laughed loudly."

Li Zicheng: "?"

This answer is not what Li Zicheng hopes to see.

He Jin said: "He has two more gifts to give to His Majesty."

Li Zicheng's eyes fell on He Jin's hand, and his hand was pulling the reins of the horse, which connected to an old horse that looked very old and thin.

Li Zicheng laughed: "What Zhu Cixuan means is that I am just such a thin horse that is so old? Interesting."

Although there was laughter, there was no smile on Li Zicheng's face.

Li Zicheng originally wanted to anger Zhu Cilang so that Zhu Cilang could make unreasonable judgments in anger, so that Li Zicheng could find an opportunity.

But now it seems that Li Zicheng's plan is obviously not successful.

Li Zicheng snorted and said, "Where is another gift?"

He Jin took out two things from his arms, namely a small porcelain bottle as thick as a finger, and a letter.

Li Zicheng was a little confused: "What is this?"

He Jin said: "I have seen it. The bottle should be human blood, and it was just made."

Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This Zhu Cixuan, he thought that putting a little Li Yan's blood would scare me? He is really a child who is so naive in thinking about things. Take the letter and show me."

Li Zicheng was still very cautious. In order to prevent Zhu Cilang from poisoning, he didn't even touch the small porcelain bottle.

After unpacking the seal of the letter, Li Zicheng read the letter.

The content is as follows:

“Brother Hongji:

I heard that there is a way to recognize relatives by dropping blood. If two people are really related to blood, then if they drip their blood into the water together, they will blend together, otherwise they will be mutually exclusive.

According to Gao Jie, who was captured by this palace, he seemed to have an affair with Brother Hongji's wife Xing. In order to restore his innocence to Xing's sister-in-law, he specially presented a bottle of Gao Jie's blood.

In this way, I believe Brother Hongji will be able to reveal the truth after he recognizes his relatives through blood, and he will be completely at ease."

Li Zicheng looked at it, and his body trembled involuntarily.

After a few seconds, he suddenly screamed and tore the letter into countless pieces.

"Children with yellow mouth, I am really angry!"

Li Zicheng gasped and cursed Zhu Cilang, exerting all kinds of dirty words.

He Jin, who had no idea of ​​the content of the letter, stood aside with obvious confusion on his face, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, then this bottle of blood... was thrown away?"

Li Zicheng nodded at first, but after He Jin was about to leave the tent, he suddenly stopped him.

"Leave the blood."

He Jin became more and more confused, but he still left the blood as Li Zicheng said.

Li Zicheng waved his hand to signal He Jin to leave, and then called Li Guo.

"Where is Queen Xing? Let her come over with Wan'er right away!"
