"We have been here for two days and have talked with the horseman several times. He avoids the important things and cares about the left and right!" Li Lu frowned in a little annoyed.

Li Wenjiang's face changed and he asked, "Sir, do you think Ma Ban is planning to cooperate with the Qin people?"

Li Lu frowned and shook his head slowly, "I won't know yet! The horseman may be hesitating now!"

"Sir, what should we do?" Li Wenjiang asked at a loss.

Li Lu hit his forehead and paced back and forth with anxiety on his face. Suddenly Li Lu stopped and he thought of something. "Take my package quickly!" Li Lu said anxiously.

Li Wenjiang was stunned and then took Li Lu's package and handed it to Li Lu's hands.

Li Lu opened the package and took out a treasure bag from it. He raised his head and explained to the two of them, "This was what His Highness, the princess, handed it to me personally when he set out, and told me to dismantle it if I find that the Qin envoy arrived!"

Li Wenjiang, Gao Meng, and his eyes lit up.

Li Lu quickly took apart the tip, took out a short note, looked carefully, and nodded with admiration.

"Sir, what did Your Highness the Princess say?" Gao Meng asked impatiently.

Li Lu smiled and said, "Ban Chao, a Han Chinese, made a quick decision to attack and kill the Xiongnu envoys and forced Shanshan to join the Han Dynasty. Today, we must treat the other person as he knows! "

Li Wenjiang knew this allusion and couldn't help but show excitement. Gao Meng still looked confused.

Li Lu said to Li Wenjiang: "Send someone to closely monitor the inn's every move, be sure to find out the situation of the inn's guards!" "Don't worry, sir! I will definitely find out everything about the inn as soon as possible!"

Li Lu nodded and reminded: "Be sure not to let Mahan notice our plan!" "Yes!"

"General Gao, it depends on you this time!"

Gao Meng asked with a puzzled look: "Sir, what do you want me to do?"

Li Lu slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot that General Gao is a powerful general in the army and does not understand the allusions of the Han people!" After a pause, he briefly explained the plan.

Gao Menghu's eyes lit up, and he slapped his chest and said loudly: "Sir, should you do it immediately?"

Li Lu smiled and said, "It's not the time yet! You can only take action after you figure out the situation of the Han people's inn!" Then he solemnly reminded: "Before this, General Gao must not act recklessly, otherwise you and I will not be able to bear the plan of Your Highness the Princess!" Gao Meng nodded.

The next morning, Shen Pei expressed his willingness to see the horse king Ma Ben to the officials of the inn. The officials immediately reported the situation to the horse.

Ma Bian asked some troublesome old minister Ma Wentuo, "Old minister, the Qin people's envoys want to see me, will I see me or not?"

Ma Wentuo glanced at the minister Ma Lei on the side, turned around and clasped his fists at the Ma Ban and said, "I have always advocated a detailed discussion with the Qin envoy immediately! Judging from the current situation, the strongest force in Liaodong is still the Great Qin. If we cannot reach an understanding with the Great Qin, our Mahan will be in a very worrying future situation!"

Ma Bian thought Ma Wentuo’s words were very reasonable. However, the minister Ma Lei said: “What the old minister said is reasonable, but he ignored the nature of the Qin people! The Qin people have been fighting in wars since the founding of the State of Chen and Chu. Don’t you see the formerly powerful Wuwan? The Xianbei has perished under the iron cavalry of the Qin people. The Xiongnu have now become the lackeys of the Qin people! The Qin army has left the country, who can guarantee that this is not the beginning of another conquest?”

The ministers in the hall immediately discussed it. Many people thought that what Ma Lei said was very reasonable, and his face couldn't help but show a strong sense of worry.

Seeing that most court officials agreed with him, Ma Lei couldn't help but feel a little proud and continued: "Only by uniting our countries in Liaodong can we avoid repeating the mistakes of Wuwan and Xianbei! So I think that we should immediately form an alliance with Goguryeo Li Muqing! At the same time, we urge the other three Koreans to do the same!"

Ma Wentuo frowned and said, "What you said is indeed possible! However, I would like to ask you what can we do to deal with the Qin army in front of us. Han Yan's troops were trapped in Linjin City by the main force of the Qin army. Judging from the current situation, Han Yan's troops were afraid that they would not last long. When the Qin army annihilates Han Yan's troops and leads the troops south, how can we resist?"

The hall immediately became quiet, and the ministers who were originally talking were silent.

Ma Wentuo then clasped his fists at the horse barbour and said, "Your Majesty, although the Qin people may conquer our Liaodong countries like the Xianbei army before, since the Qin people want to negotiate at this time, it means that the Qin people at least don't want to carry out the conquests together! And if we form an alliance with Li Muqing at this moment, we are afraid that we will face the Qin army's military front immediately. Are you confident that you will confront the Qin people at this time?"

All the ministers were moved by Ma Wentuo. When they thought of the Qin army that arrived every now and then, everyone couldn't help but feel scared.

Ma Wentuo continued: "Li Muqing has formed an alliance with us, and our four Koreans cannot receive any actual assistance at all!"

"Old minister, Li Muqing's envoy said that Li Muqing had reached a peace agreement with Li Yuantuo!" Ma Lei interrupted Ma Wentuo and said.

Ma Wentuo sneered: "Do you really believe it?"

Ma Lei was stunned, "Why did the old minister say this?"

Ma Wentuo asked back: "Do you think Goguryeo King Li Yuantuo may reach a contract with the rebel Li Muqing?"

Ma Lei was stunned and couldn't help but wonder. Ma Bian and the ministers couldn't help but nod.

Ma Wentuo clasped his fists at the horse barbarian and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of this plan, you should immediately quit the Qin Dynasty. As for other matters, you can talk about it slowly!"

The maid nodded and said happily: "The old minister is a successful country, and I am really a good helper!" "Your Majesty is too rewarded!"

Ma Bian thought for a while and said to Ma Wentuo in an inquiring tone: "Old minister, let me talk to Qin envoy first, what do you think?"

Ma Wentuo immediately folded his fists and said, "The old minister will definitely fulfill his mission!"

"Okay! Then this matter is settled! In addition, Malei, you are negotiating with the Goguryeo envoy, and we cannot completely abandon them!"

Ma Wentuo frowned, but said nothing.

Before noon that day, Ma Wentuo led several followers to the inn where Shen Pei lived. After some greetings, the conversation came to the main point. At the beginning, the two sides had a very harmonious conversation, but when the topic entered some sensitive issues, Ma Wentuo always talked about it. The talk lasted for two hours.

After Ma Wentuo and his party left, Shen Pei immediately called the intelligence agents who were accompanying him and asked: "Have you investigated the situation of Goguryeo's messenger?"

The spy replied: "The envoys from Goguryeo are two streets away, with a total of about 100 people, more than half of them seem to be reorganized by soldiers. The envoy is named Li Lu, and the two deputy envoys are named Li Wenjiang and the other is Gao Meng. Gao Meng is tall and burly, and should be a general to dress up!"

Shenpai nodded and sneered: "It seems that the Goguryeo people have prepared for us in the morning! Tell us that people should closely monitor the movements of the Goguryeo people!" "Yes." The spy held his fist and responded, and then asked: "Sir, how did you talk to Mahan's envoy just now?" Shenpai shook his head, "This Mahan obviously wants to take two boats to wait for the price! But I will not give them a choice!" "Sir, have you not handed over the letter of the country to them?" "It's not time yet!"

"Sir, if there is nothing else, I'll go down!" Shen Pei nodded.

While serving as a missionary to Mahan, Li Muqing's envoy was actively in contact with Li Yuantuo. Li Muqing wanted to reach a settlement with Li Yuantuo, but she did not want to return the chassis and power she had obtained to her father. The negotiations between the two sides were not going smoothly, and on some key issues, both sides could not talk about it at all.
