Chapter 2647: Chapter 2645: Offering a Daughter for Peace

In the military tent, Lin Chong invited Song Gongming and his father to sit.

He happily bowed to Song Gongming, saying, "I’ve long heard of the Duke of Qi’s famed name, and never thought I would have the fortune to meet today. Brother, please accept my bow!"

Song Gongming quickly stood up, joyfully helping Lin Chong to rise, saying, "Director Lin, there’s no need for such grand gestures."

Lin Chong took some wine, gladly pouring it for Song Gongming, saying, "Brother, don’t be modest. In this world, only brother is worthy of my bow."

Song Gongming held his hand as they sat down, similarly feeling delighted, saying, "I too have long heard of Leopard Head Lin Chong’s name. It’s unexpected that fate brings us together here. From today, we are brothers, no need for such niceties."

Lin Chong nodded happily, asking him, "Elder Brother Gongming, you came to find me, does it mean the King of Western Xia is willing to negotiate peace?"

Song Gongming nodded, saying, "Indeed, I persuaded him all night last night. He has seen reason and agreed to send his daughter to the palace as a concubine. I’ve promised him to rally the court ministers and ensure his safety. Brother, can you kindly release the Prince of the Li family for my sake?"

Lin Chong cheerfully said, "That’s not difficult!"

He gestured, and immediately had Li Kui brought in.

Li Kui, as always, was boisterous, cursing as soon as he entered the tent, "Lin Chong, if you’ve got the guts, kill me! Can’t call yourself a hero and a man if you dilly-dally!"

Lin Chong and Song Gongming father and son exchanged a glance and laughed heartily, quickly untying him, waving his hand, "Stop cursing. Your father has agreed for peace talks, the battle is over."

"Peace talks?"

Li Kui widened his ox-like eyes, looking defiant, "Why aren’t we fighting anymore?"

Lin Chong extended his hand, "Because this brother intervened."

He introduced Li Kui, "This is Song Gongming from Qizhou, Timely Rain Song Gongming. He convinced your father."

"Song Gongming?"

Li Kui jumped in surprise, hurriedly going over to clasp his fists in salute, "Duke of Qi, I humbly bow to you."

Song Gongming quickly helped him up, smiling happily, "Prince, you are too kind. We are all family, no need for such formality."

Li Kui shouted, "I’ve long heard of brother’s name, and always wanted to find a chance to visit brother. Since you’ve mediated peace, I have nothing more to say. Brother, come with me into the city, and we’ll feast greatly!"

Song Gongming looked at Lin Chong, laughing, "Brother Lin, how about we all go into the city and have a good talk with the King of Western Xia?"

"I follow brother’s lead!"

Lin Chong clasped his fists, nodding, and together with Song Gongming and his father as well as Li Kui, proceeded to Lingzhou City.

The group discussed and decided to first report to the Majesty.

Once the Majesty made a decision, they would determine the next step.

Military reports sped eight thousand li swiftly to Yangzhou.

Huizong was in his sleeping chamber admiring the portrait of Li Shishi, when an eunuch hurried in, reporting to him, "Official Families, news from the front line has arrived."

"Oh, is that so?"

Huizong raised his eyebrows, immediately had someone change his attire, and went to the document pavilion to handle affairs of state.

Grand Marshal Su Yuanjing was waiting inside, having someone submit the front line documents, reporting to Huizong, "Reporting to the Emperor, Lin Chong, fulfilling expectations, bravely fought at the front lines, captured the Prince of Western Xia, forcing the King of Western Xia to negotiate peace. The King of Western Xia has agreed, as long as Your Majesty does not pursue his accountability. He is willing to personally send his daughter to the Capital City as atonement, to marry into our Great Songg Dynasty."

Huizong looked at the report, happily saying, "This King of Western Xia truly went through hardships to learn to be tactful. I kindly marry his daughter for the friendship of two countries, yet he fiercely resisted. Look, once my Heavenly Soldiers arrived, without even a battle, he sought peace."

The eunuch turned his eyes, whispering to Huizong, "Should we call Prime Minister and the others to discuss?"

Huizong waved his hand, laughing, "Why call them, leave everything to Minister Su to handle. As long as the King of Western Xia is willing to marry his daughter into the palace, I will pardon all his offenses and those of his father and son."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Su Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief, retreating, and immediately sent word to Lin Chong.

The war between Great Songg and Western Xia finally settled down at this point.

The King of Western Xia received the news, sighed helplessly.

This peace deal, the only one he wronged was his daughter.

He intended to call his daughter to explain, only to hear she had gone to the Guanyin Temple outside the city.

The King of Western Xia was alarmed, fearing his daughter was upset and wanted to join the monastery.

He hurriedly brought his people to the Guanyin Temple, where he saw his daughter emerge, eyes filled with tears, kneeling before him, "Father, your daughter understands these matters. You need not be troubled. Your daughter is willing to enter the palace as a concubine. As long as the two countries coexist peacefully, your daughter will do anything."

"Good daughter, it’s father who wrongs you!"

The King of Western Xia embraced his daughter, unable to hold back his tears.

Li Shishi lifted her wrist, with a golden bracelet prominently on it.

She felt melancholy, thinking she had just reincarnated, only to be watched by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Earlier, Guanyin manifested, allowing her to bow in apprenticeship.

He also said that in the future she must obey his orders, or else he would beat her soul out of existence, preventing her from ever reincarnating.

Li Shishi felt helpless, secretly lamenting her bitter fate, having just reincarnated and still bound by others, not a bit free.

Her wrist bore the Tight-binding Spell. If she doesn’t comply, she would surely suffer.

She could only agree with Bodhisattva, to go to the Capital City as a concubine, helping Bodhisattva to bring chaos to the Song Family, learning from her ancestor Daji to destroy Song.

Once Guanyin Bodhisattva handled this matter, her anger towards Long Fei eased somewhat.

Her intent was merely to find a Fox Demon to enchant the monarch, regardless of who this Fox Demon was, as long as her goal was achieved.

After all objectives were achieved, the affairs of the Great Xia Country were deemed resolved.

Long Fei and Lin Yingying returned to Liangshan Island with the Bai Family Sisters, upon meeting them, was a bout of tearful lamentation.

Through separation and reunion, struggling through reincarnation.

They all ascended from the small Earth, such difficulty, bitterness, incomprehensible to outsiders.

The Bai Family Sisters looked around, asking Lin Yingying, "Elder sister, Lady Bai, why isn’t Bai Qianqian here?"

Lin Yingying said, "When you all went out together seeking opportunities, many sisters were transformed and ascended, from then on never seen again."

The Bai Family Sisters said, "We were transformed and ascended by the Green Hill Fox Tribe, while Lady Bai should have been transformed and ascended by the Arctic Silver Fox Clan."

"Fate will reunite us again, in the future when sisters gather there will be no more separation."

Lin Yingying comforted them briefly, immediately set up a feast to celebrate the homecoming of the two sisters.

Long Fei didn’t join their festivities, he alone carried a wine jug and sat cross-legged observing the sky.

Beyond the Nine Heavens, in the fragments of the Primordial Universe, there were bursts of flames, resembling a fire cloud hovering above the Nine Heavens.

This Immortal Realm is similar to the Human Realm, merely a corner carved out from the Primordial World.

Apart from this vast space, the outside world consists of Chaos Qi and the primordial fragment world.

Currently, there seems to be some event occurring in this realm, causing Long Fei to furrow his brows, making Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin, who were absorbing the Witch Tribe’s Faith Power in Northern Jambu Continent, immediately go beyond Nine Heavens to investigate.
