The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"It seems that the Lord of the Territory was quite impressed by Mu and was able to recognize me easily."

Sikong Boyu had already noticed them before they changed their appearance, otherwise he would have found it difficult to recognize them in their current attire.

"General Mu, you are so honored to be here. I wonder what you are here for?"

"The Right Frontier Lord must be well aware of our intentions. Where are my father and brother?"

Mu Yibai no longer beat around the bush with Sikong Boyu. Since he showed up directly, it would save them a lot of time. By making things clear, they could achieve their goal more quickly.

"General Mu, what you said is very strange. How could I know where the general of the Great Zhao Kingdom is?"

Sikong Boyu burst into laughter. He was wearing a fluttering red robe, his cheeks were well-defined, and his narrow, almond-shaped eyes were shrewd.

"It's boring for Lord Jiang to say this. Since we dare to come here, we must have evidence. Why is Lord Jiang pretending to be ignorant and wasting our time?"

Mu Yibai didn't know when Sikong Boyu discovered them, nor did he know whether he would transfer his father and brother in advance, but he was sure that his father and brother were in his hands, otherwise he would not come to meet them.

"Tell me! What are your conditions?"

Fu Yunxi suddenly stepped forward and said, Zi Yan said that this person acted without any rules, but he couldn't come here in the middle of the night just to chat with them, that would be too idle and stupid.

"This must be General Mu's wife! Dressed like this, it would be hard for anyone to recognize her."

Sikong Boyu turned his gaze to Fu Yunxi at this time. If his subordinates had not reported it to him, he would have found it difficult to tell that the woman in front of him was Mu Yibai's wife, and that she was so powerful that she dared to openly challenge him.

"Lord, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just state the conditions directly. That's the only way to negotiate, right?"

Fu Yunxi tried to take control of the negotiations.

"Since you say so, I will be frank. General Mu's life is worth a lot of money. I want 100,000 kilograms of food from you two. That's not too much, right? How do you think, General Mu?"

Sikong Boyu finally revealed his purpose. He really took a fancy to the food brought by Mu Yibai and others. Nowadays, the most scarce thing in southern Xinjiang is food, not to mention refined rice and white flour, which are even more scarce.

"You are asking for too much!"

When Chen Jianzhong heard the numbers Sikong Boyu said, he was instantly furious. They had already sold 15 carts of grain, each cart weighing 500 kilograms, which meant they had sold 7,500 kilograms, enough for the people to eat for a long time. Yet Sikong Boyu was still not satisfied and boasted that they could sell 100,000 kilograms. Where could they get so much grain?

"Don't make a fuss."

Huo San stopped the furious Chen Jianzhong, and the current situation was left to Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi to handle. They were responsible for paying attention to the movements around them and observing whether the other party would take action!

The Lord of Right Frontier really thinks too highly of me. One hundred thousand kilograms of grain is enough to support the food supply of a regular army for several months. Moreover, a famine has just passed. How could I possibly have so much grain?

Mu Yibai guessed that Sikong Boyu might have come for the food, but he didn't expect his appetite to be so big.

"Then we'll have to see what General Mu is capable of. I'm quite optimistic about you. After all, there are only a few people in this world who can defeat my Southern Border Sutra Devouring Gu and still stand before me. This is enough to show that you are no ordinary person. I firmly believe that I won't make a mistake."

Every word and every expression of Sikong Boyu was so arrogant that one could not wait to stab him with a sword, but it was not feasible at the moment. Judging from the situation, it was very likely that General Mu and Mu Yitian were in his hands and were still alive.

"Since this is a cooperation, we have brought more than 7,000 kilograms of high-quality grain, which has demonstrated our sincerity. I wonder where is the sincerity of the territory lord?"

Fu Yunxi spoke before Mu Yibai. She had enough food, but she was not a sucker and would not give away food casually. If the food could really be exchanged for Mu Yibai's father and brother, it would be worth it. She spoke before Mu Yibai just to avoid making things difficult for him. Compared with the lives of his father and brother, these worldly possessions were nothing.

"Hahaha, this is ridiculous. Now that you are asking me for something, isn't it natural for you to show your sincerity? You are actually still bargaining with me. This is really ridiculous, hahaha..."

Sikong Boyu laughed again. Although he regarded Mu Yibai as a very competitive opponent, he would never allow himself to be mocked by others, let alone on his territory.

"Your Majesty, what you said is not right. What use are my husband's father and elder brother to you? But the 100,000 kilograms of grain is probably what you need most right now. The people in Southern Xinjiang have suffered from years of wars, and they have also suffered from natural disasters not long ago. I'm sure there will be many casualties. The grain we brought can just solve your urgent needs, isn't it?"

Sikong Boyu's gaze fell on Fu Yunxi again. He actually underestimated Mu Yibai's wife for being so eloquent.

"Do you think I will compromise just because of what you said? One hundred thousand catties of food, not a single ounce less."

The smile on Sikong Boyu's face disappeared without a trace. He stared at Fu Yunxi. His eyes seemed a little cruel against the backdrop of her red clothes, which was intimidating.

"We agreed. One hundred thousand catties of grain, not a pound less."

Fu Yunxi responded word by word, standing straight.

Her words successfully attracted everyone's attention. They all looked at her in amazement, with surprise and confusion. Only Mu Yibai's chest shook violently, and the touch in his eyes was fleeting.

"Mrs. Mu is generous!"

Sikong Boyu did not expect that Fu Yunxi would no longer insist and agreed directly.

"But I have two conditions."

Fu Yunxi spoke again, this was her real intention.

"Do you think you are in a situation where you are negotiating with me?"

Sikong Boyu just found it ridiculous. They were so arrogant that they dared to test his territory.

"Lord of the Border, you don't have to keep threatening us. Do you think you can trap us? If we really have to fight right now, what are your chances of winning? Instead of negotiating terms after the fight, why not just skip the fight and discuss cooperation calmly? Isn't that better?"

Fu Yunxi still had some confidence in her heart. Not to mention how skilled Huo San and Jianzhong were in martial arts, the author in the original book described Mu Yibai's martial arts as being invincible and unstoppable at his peak. And she herself was no ordinary person either. If Sikong Boyu insisted on provoking this meaningless fight, then she would certainly accompany him to the end.

"..."

Sikong Boyu hadn't been this angry for a long time. He was almost irritated by Fu Yunxi's eloquence and long speeches! He really wasn't sure he could defeat Mu Yibai. When he learned that Mu Yibai had stood up, he knew that this man was unfathomable. The four people had easily escaped from the maze just now, and his strength should not be underestimated. The most important thing was that he needed their food!

"Lord, why don't you listen to my wife's conditions before making a decision?"

Seeing that Fu Yunxi had the aura of being able to rule the country, Mu Yibai instantly turned on the mode of doting on his wife and cooperated with her in perfect harmony.
