Chapter 155 of Season 6

  The next day, Tang Yin set out on his journey and headed towards the city of Besa.

  Besides Shangguan brothers, there were also Shangguan Yuanrang and Qiu Zhen accompanying him.

  Qiu Zhen followed him because he was afraid that Tang Yin would act impulsively and cause conflict with the barbarian state during the peace negotiations.

  Since they weren't going to war, the guards brought by Tang Yin were not many, only over a hundred people. However, these hundred or so people were not simple, with half being Tang Yin's guests led by Lu Fang and the other half being dark arrow personnel led by Cheng Jin. Over a hundred people, all of whom were cultivators of spiritual energy, whose combat strength was so strong that even if they encountered tens of thousands of barbarian troops, they would not be afraid.

  Tang Yin himself did not ride a horse, but sat in a carriage, and Qiu Zhen was also riding with him.

  The city of Besa is located in the northern cold region, where the sky and earth are frozen. Qiu Zhen was also afraid of the cold, so he shrank into the carriage, with his upper body wrapped in sable fur and his lower body covered with a quilt, his hands inserted into his sleeves, almost to the point of lighting a fire inside the carriage for warmth.

  Tang Yin was more relaxed than him, wearing ordinary cotton clothes, occasionally lifting the curtains to gaze at the scenery outside. The icy and snowy weather in Besa reminded him of his hometown.

  The team entered the Besa border and soon a cavalry of Besa came rushing forward, they were not here to fight but to welcome Tang Yin and his party.

  Having a barbarian army as escort, many troubles are avoided on the road. When passing by the city of Besa, they will not be inspected by the garrison.

  All the way without a word, under the escort of Besa cavalry, Tang Yin and his party arrived smoothly outside Besa City.

  It's interesting that things have turned out this way. The last time Tang Yin came, he forced his way in from the outside, but this time, he was invited in by the Besa people themselves.

  Tang Yin ordered the troops to stop and wait outside the city, while he himself got out of the carriage and had Lu Fang bring over a warhorse. He mounted the horse and said: "All of you stay here, only let one person accompany me into the city."

  "...". The crowd heard the words, and they were all stunned by Tang Yin's order. Only bringing in Officer Yuan Rang to enter the city, what if he fell into someone else's trap? Could Officer Yuan Rang alone protect Tang Yin? Moreover, Qiu Zhen had come from thousands of miles away, wasn't it to participate in the peace talks? Now that even Qiu Zhen was not brought along, what was the point of him coming?

  Everyone was puzzled, but Shangguan Yuan let out a meaningful glance at Tang Yin, with an unusual glint in his eyes.

  "You just stay here and don't worry about anything else!" Tang Yin said, shaking his head at Shangguan Yuan, then urged his horse to enter the city.

  Tang Yin only brought one person into the city, and even Besa's army who accompanied him all the way was surprised. They didn't know whether to say that Tang Yin had too much guts or if he trusted his own side too much.

  Under the escort of Besa cavalry, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang rode side by side, swaggering into the city.

  The people of Beisa City also knew about the peace talks and gathered on both sides of the street, watching the Wind Country's generals come to negotiate. People pointed and whispered to each other, some could call out Tang Yin's name, but didn't know which one he was, however, seeing Officer Yuan let out a fierce face, they all pointed at him, exclaiming that he was the devil of the Wind Country who wielded a black sickle.

  Being pointed at and gossiped about by the Baisha people, Shangguan Yuan let out a laugh that was not quite a laugh. He turned his head to glance at Tang Yin beside him, suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek, while muttering in a low voice: "Still pretty real..."

  Tang Yin's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Shangguan Yuanrang.

  The latter leaned in and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

  Tang Yin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and thought to himself that Shangguan Yuande's cultivation was indeed profound and his insight sharp, able to see through the cracks. He said in a low voice: "Of course I am Tang Yin, your Governor."

  "Hmph!" Shangguan Yuan let out a snort of laughter, turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

  Tang Yin continued: "When it's time for negotiations, once there's a change, don't worry about me, you break out first."

  "Of course!" Shangguan Yuan let nodded without hesitation, muttering: "Who cares about your life or death?" He then changed the subject and asked: "Do you know why the Dark System cultivators are not tolerated by the Light System cultivators?"

  Tang Yin smiled and asked: "Why?"

  "Despicable and sinister, lacking the bright and upright spirit of a martial artist."

  "Haha!" Tang Yin laughed lightly and said, "The way of martial arts is like the way of war, both are cunning ways. If one can't even protect their own life, what's the use of being upright and just?"

  Shangguan Yuan let his words be and did not rebut him again, lazily choosing to say no more and closing his mouth to end the argument.

  Bessa Palace

  Under the gaze and discussion of the Besa people, Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang arrived at the gate of the Wang Palace. Here, officials from Besa and palace guards had been waiting for a long time. They only saw Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanrang, both with a look of confusion on their faces. They couldn't help but glance back again, but they didn't see any other Feng people, only Besa's own cavalry guard.

  The official was taken aback for a moment, then quickly stepped forward, hand on his chest, and bowed deeply, asking: "May I ask, which one is General Tang Ying? (Mo)"

  Shangguan Yuan did not understand the language of Besa, so he naturally couldn't understand what he was saying. Tang Yin turned over and dismounted his horse, responding in Besa: "I am Tang Yin! (Mo, etc.)"

  "Ah!" The official stared blankly at Tang Yin, somewhat dazed.

  The last time Tang Yin rushed into the palace, he was also present, and it can be said that he had a deep impression of him. At that time, Tang Yin wore a Ling armor to cover his original appearance. Although the facial armor dissipated in the end, only the king saw his appearance clearly, while other ministers only saw his back.

  "Lord Tang, this way, please!" The Besa official came back to his senses and hastily stepped aside, inviting Tang Yin to enter the palace.

  Tang Yin's face showed no fear, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of a sly smile, he strode into the palace. Wang Gongyu naturally followed suit and walked in behind Tang Yin.

  Tang Yin had been to the palace once before, but at that time he was in a chaotic battle and didn't pay much attention. Now looking again, he also secretly marveled at the grandeur of the palace. The resources of the Besa City-State were so scarce, yet they could build such a large-scale palace. How much money must have been plundered from neighboring countries?

  In the main hall of the palace, King Sanchez von Ploos sat on the throne, with the civil and military officials of the Kingdom of Bessa standing on both sides. Among them was also Count von Ploos, who had led the attack on Pingyuan County not long ago.

  As soon as Tang Yin and Shangguan Yuanyuan approached, the eyes of King Beisa and his ministers focused on them. Among them, many generals secretly used their insight to probe and understand the cultivation of these two people.

  When they probed Tang Yin's body, nothing out of the ordinary was found. However, when they probed Shangguan Yuan's body, Besa's generals were shocked because they couldn't detect his cultivation level at all. There were only two possibilities: either he didn't possess spiritual martial arts cultivation or his cultivation was too profound, far surpassing everyone else.

  King Besa Sanchez saw Tang Yin, at this time Tang Yin did not wear the Ling armor, and he recognized him with one glance. His body trembled slightly, if you didn't pay attention carefully, you couldn't see it. He leaned forward slightly, smiled calmly and said: "General Tang has come from afar, and it's been a hard journey."

  Tang Yin raised his eyes to meet Sanchez's gaze, and smiled as he said: "Long time no see, Your Majesty the King is still in good health!" As he spoke, his gaze shifted downward, and he deliberately took a deep look at Sanchez's neck.

  Inside the grand hall, there were many of Besa's generals, and naturally, there were also some outstanding spiritual cultivators. However, when Tang Yin looked at Sanchez's neck, the latter still secretly felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart was filled with an ominous premonition. But on the surface, he didn't show any expression, and instead cut to the chase, asking: "I wonder what General Tang thinks about our proposal for peace talks?"

  "Peace talks can be held, but I have conditions," said Tang Yin.

  "Hmph!" Before Sanchez could speak, Kneiss let out a snort and said ahead of time: "A truce is in your favor, how dare you negotiate terms with us?"

  Tang Yin smiled and looked at Kneiss, saying: "It's not that it's beneficial to me, but rather it's beneficial to both you and me. If there was no benefit, why would you take the initiative to find me to negotiate?"

  "That is..." Knies glanced at Sanchez, swallowing the words that had reached his lips. Not everyone in King Besa's court supported the peace talks; mainly it was King Sanchez who advocated for them, while Knies belonged to the war faction and had many complaints about the negotiations.

  Sánchez waved his hand at his brother, indicating that he should not interrupt, and said: "What conditions does General Tang have to say first?"

  Tang Yin said: "First, the border areas of the two countries are not allowed to station large troops to show sincerity; second, open all cities in Besa and allow merchants from my country to pass through freely for trade; third, Besa has been harassing our territory for many years and needs to pay compensation."

  Baisa's ministers all furrowed their brows after hearing this.

  Tang Yin proposed these three points, which are almost as good as the terms of surrender, just short of asking Beisa to cede territory to him.

  Kneiss's face turned red with anger, his hand grasping the hilt of his sword, and he took two swift steps closer to Tang Yin, shouting: "Although we proposed a truce on our own initiative, do you really think we're afraid of you?"

  Shangguan Yuan let go of not understanding what they were saying, but he could understand Knie's movements, thinking that he was going to take action. He took a step forward and grabbed Knie's wrist with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

  Seeing this, Tang Yin smiled calmly and said in a low voice: "Yuan Rang, withdraw."

  Shangguan Yuan let out a fierce glare at Kneiss, released his wrist and retreated back behind Tang Yin.

  Tang Yin pointed at Kneiss and said in a low voice: "If you don't accept these three conditions, then let's meet on the battlefield!"

  "Good, good, good..." Kneiss kept responding with a series of "goods", since the establishment of the Bessa City-State, he had never been so humiliated, his body was shaking with anger, and he couldn't say anything else except "good".

  Just as the negotiations were about to collapse, Sanchez hastily said: "General Tang, don't get angry, we can discuss the peace talks slowly!" As he spoke, he also reprimanded Kneiss in a low voice: "Duke Pros, you must not interrupt again!"

  Sánchez showed signs of anger, and Knies reluctantly sighed, slowly retreating back to his original position.

  Sánchez's eyes rolled around and he smiled at Tang Yin: "The matter of making peace is beneficial to both sides, so the conditions should also be mutually beneficial."
