Chu Ning came up with new ideas for the tripartite alliance.

He was able to play both sides and gained benefits from both the Han Dynasty and the Wei State.

And this is exactly his purpose.

The so-called tripartite alliance was just something he did on purpose. If there weren't enough benefits, how could he have held this tripartite alliance?

This adventure into Liuye City was not only to take Princess Changping away, but also to gain benefits from the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom.

Now that the Qin Dynasty has been defeated by him, it dares not launch an attack for the time being. The remaining Han Dynasty and Wei Kingdom are at war, so naturally he wants to get a piece of the pie.

The Qin State was vast in territory, rich in resources, and had many talented people and a large number of soldiers and generals. It was impossible to conquer it in a short period of time. It would be better to start with the Han and Wei dynasties first.

During the next two days, Willow Leaf City became completely bustling.

Yu Jing led his troops to search for Princess Changping in the city, which made the people in Liuye City a little panicked.

No one knew where Princess Changping was hiding, nor did anyone know whether they would be implicated.

As the news of Cao Zhang's murder spread, rumors began to spread in the city that it was done by Princess Changping and the Qin envoys, and Yu Jing went to find Princess Changping in order to find the murderer.

For a time, the people in the city were on high alert, fearing that they would be implicated.

For two whole days, Yu Jing led his troops to search the city thoroughly, but in the end he still could not find any news about Princess Changping.

Until the night before the alliance, there was still no news.

At night, there are stars.

Chu Ning stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, a solemn look on his face.

He didn't know where Princess Changping was at the moment, nor did he know what orders Ying Zheng had given her.

The night wind blows gently, leaving only thoughts swirling in my mind, and bits and pieces of the past keep swirling in my mind.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps interrupted Chu Ning's thoughts.

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "I sent someone to ask, and the Wei army did not find any clues about Princess Changping."

Chu Ning came back to his senses and nodded slightly, saying in a deep voice: "It seems that my three-party talks have changed Qin Zheng's mind. He deliberately did not let Princess Changping show up, just to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a strange look flashed across his eyes: "But it doesn't matter, I have a way to make her show up."

"Get ready for the meeting tomorrow. Let the brothers below cheer up."

"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded and turned to leave.

Nothing happened during the night, and time passed quickly until it was three quarters past noon the next day.

To the west of Liuye City, in Yu Jing’s mansion, the living room.

There are two tables on the main seat, and there is a table on each side of the hall, on which delicious dishes are placed.

Wei's Prime Minister Guo Xiao and Yu Jing sat in the main seat, Chu Ning was on the left, and Han's Prime Minister Dongfang Su was on the right.

There were only four people in the hall, and the soldiers from all three parties were outside the mansion to prevent anyone from getting close.

As the host, Yu Jing was the first to raise his glass and said loudly: "I hope this tripartite meeting will have a good result and bring stability to the people of the dynasty!"

After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.

Chu Ning and Dongfang Su raised their glasses and drank the wine with a smile.

Chu Ning, the initiator of this meeting, took the initiative to speak:

"Wei and Han fought fiercely for nearly a year, with both sides winning and losing, but it also cost the people a lot of money and resources."

"I cannot bear to see people suffer, so I have specially held a meeting. I hope both sides will put aside their prejudices and hold an open and detailed discussion with the utmost sincerity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Su said calmly: "This time, our dynasty agreed to the alliance for the sake of the Crown Prince of Chu."

"I hope Wei will understand the current situation and not misjudge its own strength."

"The front line is now favorable to our dynasty. If Wei wants to continue the fight, our dynasty will fight to the end."

"Of course, if Wei wants to end this war, then it will return the cities it has seized from our dynasty and compensate our dynasty for its losses!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to suppress the State of Wei!

But Guo Xiao coughed when he heard this, shook his head and said calmly: "Prime Minister Dongfang, if your dynasty really had the upper hand, why did our army occupy the city?"

"Your words are self-contradictory and cannot make sense."

"If you want us to return the city, then show your sincerity, compensate our army for the losses, and return the city we lost!"

The two men refused to give in to each other and engaged in a verbal battle to fight for the interests of their respective dynasties.

On the other hand, Chu Ning looked calm and sipped the wine slowly.

Whenever someone spoke, he would look at that person, as if he was listening attentively.

However, his pretentious attitude aroused the dissatisfaction of Guo Xiao and Dongfang Su.

What about helping them?

Why haven't you taken action yet?

Guo Xiao and Dongfang Su talked for a full half hour, but neither side could reach an agreement. Finally, they all turned their eyes to Chu Ning.

"Prince of Chu, you initiated this alliance. Don't you want to say something?"

"Since we can't come to an agreement, why don't we let the Crown Prince of Chu be a witness to see whose conditions are more suitable!"

Both of them felt that Chu Ning would definitely favor them after receiving the benefits.

But after they finished speaking, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

No matter how I deal with him, he always looks like he wants Chu Ning to speak?

Could it be that Chu Ning also accepted benefits from the other party?

Just when Dongfang Su and Guo Xiao realized something was wrong, they heard Chu Ning slowly say:

"You two, I have no objection to your two sides continuing to fight. It will only waste people's money and resources!"

"How about this? You return the cities you each occupy to the other. As for compensation, both sides will suffer losses, so there is no need for it."

This peacemaker look made Dongfang Su's face suddenly turn cold.

He clearly agreed to speak for the Han Dynasty, so why did he change his mind at this time?

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Chu, I want to remind you that our dynasty now has the upper hand on the front line!"

Dongfang Su said coldly: "You want us to give up the city that we are about to capture, which would harm the interests of our dynasty!"

Seeing Dongfang Su's firm attitude, Guo Xiao also became angry and stood up suddenly and said:

"You keep saying that you have the advantage on the front line. Humph, if you really have the advantage, why would you agree to this alliance?"

"Since you are here for the alliance, why are you being so aggressive?"

"It seems that your Han Dynasty has no sincerity at all. In this case, let's not discuss this meeting!"

Realizing that Chu Ning's attitude was not right, Guo Xiao felt that he had been fooled.

Dongfang Su happened to have a strong attitude, so he simply took the opportunity to interrupt the alliance.

If there is no result from further talking, then there is no need to talk!

Dongfang Su sneered when he heard this, then stood up and sneered: "Just wait, the warriors of my Han Dynasty will let you know what a crushing defeat is!"

Guo Xiao frowned when he heard this, realizing something was wrong.

Yu Jing was also shocked to find that Dongfang Su seemed to be very confident.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, and a soldier's voice came:

"Prime Minister, General Yu, it's bad, our army has been defeated at the front!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Guo Xiao and Yu Jing's faces changed drastically.
