"They can't talk properly. Zhongdan Gong has sent me a message. It's useless for anyone to talk about peace unless you come." the skylarks said with great confidence and smiled at Dunn sitting opposite.

"Oh? Ha ha, thank you for your kindness. Come on, I'll propose a toast to Mr. Yun with tea and wish us a happy cooperation." Du en laughed and swept away his worries when he came just now. But he didn't know that the reason why Skylark wanted to talk to him so much and why Yang Chendong had to go to peace talks was also based on wanting more interests. As for what kind of benefits can be obtained, the performance in the next few days will naturally be known.

Dunn left the yard where the skylark lived with satisfaction and went back to the bedroom to have a safe sleep. When he opened his eyes once, it was already daybreak. While he was having breakfast in the house, the housekeeper suddenly reported that the scouts sent to AVA and Siam had rushed back and incorporated into the palace. At the same time, it also brought great news that the two armies were defeated and ruthlessly blocked by mercenaries outside the door of Laos province.

In other words, the information provided by skylark is extremely accurate. This time, Dunn is right.

"Haha, haha." hearing the news provided by the housekeeper, Dunn grinned. Everything was as Skylark said before. Then he also needed to rest according to the plan. So he called to the housekeeper and said, "if you send news to the outside, you say that Ben has fallen ill due to mental fatigue, and it is not easy to see any guests."

"Hmm?" the housekeeper looked puzzled. This time his master won. Isn't it time to shine on the court hall? Why stay at home without going out?

But after all, he was just a housekeeper and couldn't understand what the master thought. After seeing Dunn's stern eyes, he immediately promised, and then withdrew to release the news.

At this time, the palace had already become a pot of porridge. The scouts have just returned and brought news from the front. The armies of AVA and Siam tried to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but their military plan to capture Laos failed. Moreover, the Siamese army also suffered heavy losses, losing three innings in a row, and countless food and grass were destroyed.

As soon as the news came to boromo's ears, he knew that things were going to be bad. Fortunately, he did not send reinforcements to the front line, which means that he did not expose his intention to fight with mercenaries. In this way, there is still the possibility of peace talks between the two sides.

Left Xiang Dingwei stood there with his head down, and many ministers stood in the whole hall. But they all seem to keep a certain distance from him intentionally or unintentionally. It can be seen that this time he made a mistake and lost to right phase Dunn. According to the previous agreement, he wants to give up his position and return to his hometown.

If so, who will pay attention to a person who has no power and power? Not to mention respect.

It seemed that he felt the questioning eyes of the people. Ding Dingwei bit his teeth, suddenly hugged his fist and saluted boromo, saying: "Your Majesty, I lost. I immediately resigned from Zuo Xiang, and packed up my salute and left the king's capital a day later."

"What are you doing? Has the king allowed you to leave? It was just a joke before. How can you take it seriously? If you want to come, you won't be serious. By the way, why didn't you come?" boromo is having a headache for the current situation. Ding Dingwei came to resign. How could he promise in this chaos?

It came from boromo to expose the previous events with a joke. It must be hard for Dunn to say anything even standing here, let alone that others are not here.

When boromo asked, they noticed that the right phase did not appear in the hall. For a time, many ministers were paying their heads and ears. Some people even thought that the right phase must take the opportunity to improve his status. Wait, he will certainly appear in a moment, and then stand here as a winner to guide the country.

More than one person had this idea. They all thought that when Dunn was going to appear in the final way, a eunuch gently walked to boromo's ear and whispered something.

"Hmm? Is there such a thing? Is Youxiang really ill?" boromo turned his head and asked in surprise after hearing the eunuch's words. From the time he got the news of the scouts, he wanted to give Dunn some praise and even substantive benefits. After all, this time, if he didn't send reinforcements immediately, he was equivalent to a buffer zone with the mercenaries, saved the Phnom Penh Dynasty, and didn't push them into a place of eternal disaster.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical time, Dunn fell ill. It's too coincidental. At least he doesn't believe it.

"The eunuch we sent to send him to the palace replied. Youxiang's face was ugly and his whole body trembled. He was lying in the quilt. It seemed that he was really ill. But in order to find out the matter, we have sent the imperial doctor to Youxiang's house. I think there will be news soon." the old eunuch replied respectfully.

"Well, if you have news, inform the king at the first time." boromo nodded. This time, whether Dunn was real or fake, he would not be punished, which is understandable. After all, isn't it human's long feeling that wronged people want to vent?

But this time, boromo underestimated Dunn's determination. He was a man who could be cruel to the enemy and himself. In order to be really ill, he asked the housekeeper to get some ice from the cellar, and then turned it into ice water and poured it on him. In this way, he really caught a cold and was cold all over.

The Scout's return has confirmed that what the skylark said is right. Even so, why not trust each other again? I just hope the next development can be as general as Skylark said. Otherwise, it's not worth getting sick this time.

The imperial doctor came and found out that Dunn was really suffering from the wind cold and had a serious cold. He immediately prescribed the medicine and then went back to the palace to recover his life.

"What? Really ill?" after the news was told by the old eunuch himself, King boromo was shocked on his face and thought in his heart. It seems that the pressure on the right phase is really great this time. Of course, he just thought about it and told the old eunuch to often send imperial doctors to see the right minister. Then he focused on the government. I didn't make a decision just now. I've been waiting for Youxiang to come. That is, he can't come, so the peace talks can only be done by others.

It's other people, but not many people can really choose. How powerful mercenaries exist. The official position of those who send peace negotiators is too low. How can they talk to others equally? Isn't it a shame that the envoys sent at that time can't even see the face of the Lord?

After thinking about it, boromo still put the candidate for the peace talks on Ding Dingwei, the left minister. Zuo Xiang also wanted to take the opportunity to make meritorious service to repay his Majesty's kindness of protection. Of course, he agreed without hesitation. Just two hours later, Ding Dingwei, who had made some preparations, left Phnom Penh and went straight to suon city.

The reason why he is so anxious is naturally because Ding Dingwei also knows that speed is important. Now the two allies have lost the war. Next, if the Phnom Penh Dynasty does not bow its head, who knows whether the other party will gather all its troops in anger to attack the Phnom Penh dynasty? Once they really make this decision, it will be even more difficult if they want to go to peace talks.

The carriage sped along the way. I don't know how many horses had been changed on the road. It normally took five or six days to get to suweng city. Ding Dingwei arrived in only three days. Here, he sent people to the mercenary barracks outside the city to express the intention of the Phnom Penh Dynasty to hold peace talks and stop troops.

At the moment, suweng city is already full of holes.

In recent days, mercenary cannons haven't stopped. I don't know when powerful shells will fall, and each fall can cause a lot of losses in the city. It's normal for dead people and houses to be destroyed.

Therefore, the people in the city have moved almost. Only the sergeants dare not leave without orders. They are worried every day for fear that the next shell will fall on their heads.

General Dann personally welcomed Ding Dingwei. As soon as he met, the general began to complain constantly. He also said that he had sent countless requests to Wang Du, either to send more reinforcements or to prepare for peace talks. Why has there been a response until now.

Facing the grievances on Dane's face, Ding Dingwei asked unhappily, "you generals who have a life outside always want to ask your majesty for help when something happens. Why don't you try to fight with mercenaries? If you can win, do you still need to suffer these grievances?"

"Hey! Lord Zuo Xiang, you really don't hurt your back when you stand and talk." hearing this, Dan was also a little angry. He was a general of the current Dynasty. He was a leader of the military. There was no need to say the authority. Although Ding Dingwei is a leftist prime minister, he is not much better than him, not to mention that it is a war age and the status of soldiers has been greatly improved. How can he be afraid of each other?

"Mr. Zuo Xiang, why don't you know that we didn't try to fight back, but mercenaries hold continuous fire guns that can take people's lives hundreds of feet away. Our bow and arrow range is only more than 30 feet. How can we fight with others? My general has ordered to launch two attacks, but none of them were killed and seriously injured. How can we fight such a war? Please Mr. Zuo Xiang Teach me. Of course, if Lord Zuo Xiang is willing to send troops by himself, I will give you a good armor, how about it? "

To let a civilian go to war on the battlefield is clearly nonsense. How could Ding Dingwei answer? He snorted coldly and said, "well, even if the army can't win the war, it's up to us civil servants to negotiate with our mouths."
