Chapter 236: Improper Negotiation
Chapter 236: Improper Negotiation
"I can't have any friendly relations with such people."
Seeing Gu Xiyan being so ungrateful, the purple-clothed woman sneered, "It's your blessing that I like you, don't be so shameless."
Gu Xiyan was too lazy to waste words with her and rushed towards the burly man again.
Seeing this, Yao Jia flew downstairs and stopped Gu Xiyan, "That's enough, do you think you have too much money and can afford to pay for the decoration here?"
Gu Xiyan looked around and saw that everything was in a mess.
There was also a huge gap in the stairs.
The door of a private room was even half broken off, revealing a naked guest lying on the couch, being comforted by several eunuchs in a servile manner.
Gu Xiyan turned to look at the burly man and said coldly, "I was only responsible for defense. He broke all these. Let him pay for it!"
The rest of the onlookers echoed the sentiment, claiming that it was the purple-clothed woman's men who broke the monster.
The burly man looked at everyone with a ferocious face and stepped forward to teach them a lesson.
"Jin Biao, stop it!"
A clear voice called him.
The woman in purple stepped forward and raised her hand, and the servant beside her placed a stack of banknotes in her hand.
"Are these enough?"
Seeing this, Shuqin hurried forward and said with a smile: "Thank you for your generosity, young lady."
The purple-clothed woman snorted, turned to Gu Xiyan, and smiled, "Since you are not the young master of this building, I will not force you. Your kung fu is good, but it's a pity that your temper is a bit bad."
Gu Xiyan frowned and said coldly: "You have a bad temper and you have to score points."
The purple-clothed woman heard the sarcasm in his words, glanced meaningfully at Yao Jia beside him, and waved to the attendant, "Let's go."
The group left in a mighty manner.
Gu Xiyan looked at the purple-clothed woman's departing back, his brows furrowed, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
Turning to look at Yao Jia, he saw her staring thoughtfully at the direction where the woman left, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know her?"
Yao Jia retracted her gaze and shook her head gently, "Although I don't know her, I know who she is."
Turning back to ask Shuqin, "Does that purple-dressed woman come here often recently?"
Shuqin nodded, "People do come here often, but they just pick people and leave, and never stay here for too long."
Yao Jia smiled knowingly.
"Who is she?" Gu Xiyan asked.
Yao Jia raised her eyebrows at him and said with a smile: "You want to know, but I won't tell you."
Gu Xiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile, "If you tell me, I will pay for all your expenses tonight."
Yao Jia raised her hand and poked his chest, with a sly smile on her face, "Are you attracted to her?"
Gu Xiyan snorted coldly and turned his head away, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Stop making up stories about me here."
Yao Jia couldn't help but chuckle, leaning close to his ear, and whispered, "It's not your fault that you like her. After all, she is such a noble person, and few people can resist her charm."
Gu Xiyan's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned his head and squinted at her, "Noble status, irresistible charm? Are you talking about yourself, or her?"
Yao Jia rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Of course I'm talking about her."
He folded his arms and chuckled, "Of course I am quite charming, but compared to my status and position."
Yao Jia shrugged, "I'm ashamed of myself."
Seeing that she didn't look fake, Gu Xiyan became more curious and asked, "Who is she?"
Yao Jia kept it a secret, "I can't tell you now, but when the time comes, you will know."
Gu Xiyan frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he knew Yao Jia's temper. If she didn't want to say something, even ten oxen couldn't pull her back.
I had no choice but to give up and stop asking.
Gu Xiyan did not have to wait too long and attended the Liang State Council meeting the next day.
Inside the Liang State delegation, they saw the arrogant and domineering woman in purple from last night.
After being introduced by the other party's envoys and officials, they learned that the woman was the most noble princess of Liang State, Xuanyuan Fanghua.
His heart tightened and his eyes unconsciously swept towards Yao Jia who was sitting in the main seat of the Daxia delegation.
Yao Jia's eyes were shining at this time as he looked at the interior of the opposite delegation.
Among the Liang State delegation, most of the female envoys were beautiful and charming, and most of the male envoys were handsome and heroic. They all had solemn and nervous expressions.
Looking at her own delegation again, except for her and Gu Xiyan who were still young, and Nanshan who was wearing a mask and whose beauty could not be seen, the rest either had ferocious faces or glared with anger.
He turned aside and asked Nanshan, who was drinking tea contentedly, "Sir, have negotiations in the past always been so serious?"
Nanshan shook his head and smiled, "I am also new here and not familiar with the process. Let's see how others do it."
Yao Jia: …………
There is nothing else to do.
Nanshan put down the teacup and winked at Yaojia, asking her to look across.
Yao Jia followed his gaze and saw that the envoy from Liang State had already used the beauty trap skillfully, flirting and posing at the Daxia delegation.
The Daxia delegation forced themselves to remain calm for a while, and while trying to please others, it was as if they were visiting a brothel.
Yao Jia shook her head. No wonder the two countries could not reach an agreement after so long of negotiations. Judging from Liang State’s negotiating attitude, it was clear that they did not want to have a serious peace talks.
The two sides were tied on the battlefield, and no one wanted to lose the balance of interests, so they just started to fool each other.
Yao Jia glanced at Xuanyuan Fanghua sitting on the throne of Liang State again and lowered his head in deep thought.
The fact that they sent this person here must mean that they attach great importance to this negotiation.
Why is there such an attitude today?
Yao Jia felt a sense of mutual admiration for Xuanyuan Fanghua. This princess, like her, was short-lived.
The war between the two countries in the previous life ended with the death of Xuanyuan Fanghua.
Yao Jia didn't know the specific details. When she returned to Kyoto, she was tricked by King Ping and was busy escaping. She had no time to care about other people's internal affairs.
While I was thinking, a strong fragrance came to my face. I looked up and saw an extraordinarily handsome face.
"I heard that the Pavilion Master is the best at reading people's palms. Could you please tell me...how is my fortune for the next six months?"
As the man spoke, he extended his hand in front of Yao Jia.
Yao Jia looked towards Xuanyuan Fanghua calmly and saw that she was looking at this side with an expression that seemed to be enjoying a good show.
He raised his eyebrows, looked serious, and lowered his hand to look at the lines on his palm carefully. "Young Master, your fortune in the second half of the year seems to be on the rise, but in fact, there are hidden waves. You need to be careful to avoid danger."
The man raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yao Jia with a half-smile, "The Pavilion Master's words are so vague that it's hard for people to understand."
Yao Jia smiled slyly, "What I mean is that your fortune will naturally flourish, and you will have many patrons, so you will definitely have a lot of money. But you must take care of your health and don't get kidney damage!"
Most of the Daxia delegation burst into laughter.
The man was stunned for a while, then his face turned red, and he became angry and pointed at Yao Jia and cursed: "You... I am the envoy of Liang State, and you dare to speak nonsense to me."
Yao Jia covered her nose, glanced at him, chuckled, and fanned the air in front of her, "Well, you are a fresh-out-of-a-brothel bastard, with the smell of powder still on your body, yet you dare to pretend to be an envoy from the Liang State? Who gave you the courage to be so frivolous?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally bustling venue immediately became silent, and everyone looked at the man.
The man was a prostitute that Xuanyuan Fanghua bought from a brothel a few days ago, and he came here to seduce the envoy of Daxia.
Having just heard the Liang officials discussing Yao Jia's identity, he wanted to come over and strike up a conversation with her, but he didn't expect her to reveal his identity in one go.
He was immediately frightened and trembled. He fell to the ground and begged for mercy desperately.
Daxia official: …………
No wonder these people seemed weird, they turned out to be prostitutes in a brothel.
They all cast admiring glances at Yao Jia, saying that he was worthy of being the leader of Tianxing Pavilion and had a keen eye.
Yao Jia shrugged. It was really not her fault. This morning, Ye Sinan sent a secret agent to tell her that the number of envoys sent by Liang State this time did not exceed ten people.
But the number of people present today is equal to that of the Daxia delegation, combined with what Shuqin said last night that Xuanyuan Fanghua has been looking for beauties in recent days.
I immediately thought that there must be something fishy going on within this delegation.
An envoy from Daxia reacted quickly, shook off the 'Daliang envoy' who was leaning on his side, slapped the table, stood up, and pointed at the Liang delegation and attacked crazily.
"Well, how dare you invite these filthy people to such a serious occasion, what is your intention?"
