the rebels. Perhaps the crown prince never intended to negotiate with us from the beginning. In the end, there will be a battle between the court and the rebels. Troops will pass through our land, and...Chapter 856: Prince, You Can't

Now Li Chen and Gua'erjia Aoqin represent Qin and Jin respectively.

They are just making a big show of it, trying to gauge each other's limits.

Negotiations are, by nature, about conflicting interests. It involves magnifying one's own advantages and exaggerating the opponent's weaknesses to secure greater benefits and pressure them into making larger concessions.

Li Chen said.As they spoke, Li Chen stood still.At this ti...
