From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 994

Just as Zhou Yuan guessed, the other side would not give them a chance to ambush.

The negotiation tents were set up in the wilderness, the other side's shooting army was right behind them, and there were thousands of prisoners stationed two miles away. With dense spies spread out, any military action by Zhou Yuan would be known in advance.

Ambush is unrealistic.

What about assassination?

With Zhou Yuan's current martial arts, it is not difficult to assassinate Gumanyev in front of dozens of guards, after all, they were very close during the negotiations.

But it was difficult to get away after killing him, so he had to give up this idea.

After more than a day of discussion, he and Huang Taiji could only come to one conclusion, that is, this negotiation could only be a show to show weakness to the enemy.

It happened that it snowed heavily on this day.

A group of cavalry escorted the two to the open space west of Guhewei and saw the yellow and white tent.

"You wait here."

Huang Taiji ordered, looked at Zhou Yuan, and strode forward.

This was the first time Zhou Yuan saw the regular shooting army of the Tsarist Empire. They were wearing red woolen coats, black boots with fur trim, holding crescent-shaped battle axes, carrying muskets, and wearing hats, standing in a row.

They were indeed tall, all of them were strong men over 1.8 meters tall, with strong physiques and strong strength.

"Stop! We need to search you first!"

The speaker was a yellow man with dark skin, obviously acting as a translator, but Zhou Yuan didn't understand and looked at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji said: "It's expected to search you. There are also people who can speak Chinese over there, who can act as your translator when the time comes."

The two big men just stood there and were searched by several soldiers before being put into the big tent.

The inside of the tent was completely different. The floor was paved with wooden boards, and eight stoves were burning around it, making the whole tent warm.

Gumanyev sat on a high place, cushioned by warm bear skin. His curled beard and brown hair made him look quite wild.

He was tall, with blue eyes, a square face, wide cheeks, and a face full of flesh, eating meat with big mouthfuls.

In addition to him, there were four other people sitting below, leaving only two small tables for Zhou Yuan and Huang Taiji.

Including Gumanyev, there were five officers in the Tsarist Empire, and they didn't even look at Zhou Yuan and the others.

Instead, the translator smiled and said, "Please sit down. When the adults are full, they will greet you."

Huang Taiji and Zhou Yuan had no expression, just sat down honestly.

After about two quarters of an hour, these officers finally ate and drank enough, wiped their hands, and looked at Zhou Yuan and the others, as if they were looking at prey.

Gumanyev clapped his hands and spoke, speaking very quickly, but Zhou Yuan understood.

"The adults asked if you had eaten? If not, we can arrange it for you."

The translator's voice imitated the other party's tone, which sounded very uncomfortable.

Huang Taiji laughed, his smile was flattering and timid, rubbing his hands and said: "Thank you General Gumanyev, we are not hungry, we came here just to see you."

Zhou Yuan also laughed and nodded quickly.

The temperament of the two became mercenary and mean.

Gumanyev laughed loudly and said a lot of things. Zhou Yuan heard it clearly and sneered in his heart for a while.

"The master said that he wanted to help you."

"The situation of the Jurchens is very difficult now. The Great Jin Dynasty has finished the things at hand and will definitely send troops to you. You can't stop it. He can help."

"As long as you join the great Tsarist Empire, you can get permanent protection."

Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly, and then laughed again: "It's not that we don't want to, but...but the ministers below will also oppose it, and the people are not happy."

Hearing the translation, Gumanyev laughed even louder.

Of course he heard what Huang Taiji meant, this is for money and benefits.

So he said a lot of things, and the big tent suddenly opened, and women walked in one by one.

They were all wearing thick cotton robes, with excellent looks, fair skin, and blue eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

It was warm inside the tent, and they formed a formation. When they took off their cotton robes, there was only a special corset and stockings inside, and their sexy and charming figures were immediately revealed.

Accompanied by the sound of drums and piano, they began a unique dance, showing off their long legs.

Huang Taiji said in a low voice: "This is to seduce us."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "You danced very well!"

Huang Taiji glanced at Zhou Yuan with a strange look on his face.

He thought of those rumors and suddenly worried that Zhou Yuan would really lose control.

"That... Zhang Bailong..."

"Don't believe it if it's fake!"

Zhou Yuan replied unhappily, but his eyes were fixed on the dancing woman.

It must be said that foreign girls are really different when they dance.It has flavor, and this corset looks very sexy, which makes people's heart beat fast.

Gumanyev did not speak any more, but called for wine and meat, so that everyone could drink, eat meat and watch dancing together.

This made Zhou Yuan very satisfied. He was too lazy to listen to these idiots nagging there. He came here to see them, and he knew what was going on, even if the mission was completed.

Watching dancing and killing time is actually a good choice.

But they started to push the cups and exchange glasses.

In addition to Gumanyev, several other officers came to drink with them, talking about it, and the general meaning was that there were many women like this in the Tsarist Kingdom, so Zhou Yuan and Huang Taiji could pick any one to take back.

Huang Taiji also declined politely, showing that he was not interested in women, but interested in money.

At the same time, he was also very satisfied with Zhou Yuan's attitude, and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, you resisted the temptation, otherwise how can I explain to Daichan."

Zhou Yuan said: "No, I think they are too fat, I like younger girls from the Tsarist Kingdom."

Huang Taiji turned around, took a sip of wine, and said nothing.

The dance was over, and the dancing girls came to the side of the crowd, one by one, and began to toast.

Zhou Yuan raised his glass and clinked it with the girl in front of him, and gave a thumbs up, praising her for her talent.

The girl smiled generously, poured the wine into her bosom, and held it for Zhou Yuan to drink.

Zhou Yuan couldn't drink it this time. He didn't like other people's cars very much, so he laughed and said he was drunk.

Seeing that the time was right, Gumanyev finally stood up and came to Zhou Yuan and the others.

He said slowly: "If you join the great Tsar, you can get at least two boxes of gold, ten boxes of silver, and countless women."

"When the time comes, our shooting army will help you resist the invasion of the Jin Dynasty."

Zhou Yuan was tired of hearing such formalities. Gold and silver are always calculated by boxes. When the time comes, I will give you a palm-sized box. Who will you go to for justice?

The two pretended to be flattered. Huang Taiji said he wanted twenty boxes of silver and ten boxes of gold, and asked the other party to send troops.

Zhou Yuan said he wanted thirty young white women, and Huang Taiji couldn't act anymore.

Walking out of the big tent, he couldn't help but say: "Zhou Yuan, you don't look like you are acting."

What kind of words are these!

Zhou Yuan immediately said seriously: "I'm just a good actor. Let's talk about what we gained this time."

Huang Taiji said: "It's equivalent to giving the other party a reassurance. Although Gumanyev did not agree to send troops, he is obviously much less guarded against us."

"After this cocktail party, I guess he will speed up his infiltration of us and make bolder decisions in military operations."

"He is very arrogant. He regards us as the cowards he has met before."

Zhou Yuan said: "So you have to keep a close eye on his future actions and find a suitable opportunity to hurt him."

Huang Taiji said: "Judging from the other party's arrogance, this opportunity will not exceed ten days."

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Once we take action, there is no turning back."

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "We don't need to turn back, they do."
