Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Liang Tianyou was immediately furious when he heard this: "Why, is the high priest trying to blackmail me, Daliang?"

The fists were clenched and made a creaking sound.

Twenty-one thousand people, you can't kill them, and it's pointless to scold them.

They also have to be provided with food and drink every day.

Why!

The high priest laughed bitterly, "You are too kind, young general. If you, Daliang, put forward such harsh conditions, what else can you do but force our Zhao Kingdom to perish? Since I am powerless, I think Marshal Gu is not willing to let them go just like that."

"So, what else can I do?"

"Of course, Marshal Gu and Prince Chen are brothers after all. If they have the same idea, our Zhao Kingdom cannot produce so many things and they have to kill ten people every day. I can't do anything about it. It's their own bad luck, and they can't blame others."

"I just hope they can be reborn into a good family in the next life, like His Royal Highness Prince Chen, or this young general."

Liang Tianyou couldn't listen to these words. If Shu Wenbo hadn't held him back, he would have punched him.

The high priest had been paying attention to their expressions. Except for Gu Xingyan and the woman beside him, everyone else wanted to beat him up.

"However, I think that the world is now divided into five parts, and Daliang only occupies one part. There are tens of millions of people in the world, and everyone has a scale in their hearts."

Killing the surrendered soldiers will be despised by people all over the world.

This statement has a threatening meaning.

Gu Xingyan lifted his robe and sat on a chair beside him.

The high priest frowned calmly. Although this was the territory of Daliang, it was an inn and all the residents were from Zhao.

He, Gu Xingyan, is the guest.

It doesn't make sense for guests to sit down on their own before the host says anything.

Li Shuangwan snorted in his heart. It was obvious that he killed Ava on the orders of their Zhao Kingdom monarch. It was Gu Xingyuan who was stupid and fell into their trap.

He used someone else's knife to kill someone, but now he is pretending to be a victim. Who is he showing off to?

She bowed to Gu Xingyan and said, "General, I see that the Zhao Kingdom delegation came in a hurry and brought few people. Since the high priest is in a hurry to leave, why don't we find someone to pack their luggage for them? It's getting late, so as not to delay the Zhao Kingdom envoy's trip."

Liang Tianyou was anxious. What was he talking about?

Could it be that Daliang has to provide food to feed those more than 200,000 people?

Then what do their own soldiers eat?

Because of Gu Xingyuan, Wu Peikun had distributed most of the food and meat to the people of Zhao in order to calm the situation.

How can we support them?

Gu Xingyan raised his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently.

Liang Tianyou immediately wilted and obediently retreated to Shu Wenbo's side.

When Gu Xingyan just entered the yard, he saw the oil stains left on the mouth of the Zhao Kingdom’s high priest, which had not been completely wiped clean.

"General Shu's words make sense, and I agree. Come, help the high priest of Zhao to pack their luggage and send them back to Zhao immediately."

Li Shuangwan responded loudly with a yes!

The high priest was waiting for Gu Xingyan to take the challenge, wanting to make a good deal out of it by lowering the terms of the peace talks again and again.

At the very least, the clause about ceding the city of Zhao should be removed, and the maximum amount of silver would be only one million taels.

As a result, when he suddenly heard these words, he was stunned where he was.

He had never expected that Gu Xingyan would react like this.

At this time, shouldn't he scold Gu Xingyuan for being ignorant of the overall situation and killing their great general Wang Ava? It was Daliang who was wrong first.

Then take the initiative to lower the peace terms to the lowest and beg them to sign an alliance?

After all, everyone in the world is watching.

Aren’t they in Daliang afraid of the influence of public opinion?

But what did he just say?

Send them back to Zhaoguo immediately?

Not talking anymore?

Aren't negotiations all about back and forth and mutual scheming?

If he fails to bring back 210,000 Zhao soldiers this time, can he still return to the capital?

How would he and the king explain to the people of Zhao and the families of these soldiers?

The king has lost the support of the people, and in order to give an explanation to the people of the world, he must be punished.

How can this be!

"Marshal Gu wants to let us go?"

Gu Xingyan chuckled, picked up the goat milk tea beside him, smelled it, and put it down with disgust.

"What are you talking about, High Priest? You are not captured by me, so how can I hold you captive and not let you go back?"

The high priest was very upset.

I don't know how to refute it.

As Gu Xingyan finished speaking, Li Shuangwan had already brought people to help them clean up, and she even took part in the battle herself.

It was so fast that a lot of luggage had already been loaded onto the truck.

The high priest was a little confused.

The other envoys immediately panicked.

The high priest did not explain what they should do in this situation.

"No, wait. Hey, female general, don't touch my things."

"Wait, we don't need your help cleaning up."

Some envoys rushed to stop it.

Gu Xingyan glanced at the high priest indifferently.

The high priest walked over and sat opposite Gu Xingyan: "General Gu, what's the logic behind this? You were the ones who wanted to talk, and now you are still the ones who don't want to talk. Aren't you kidding us?"

"If you don't know, you might think that Daliang, a great country, is so fickle."

Gu Xingyan chuckled and played with the teacup in his hand. It seemed that compared with the high priest, this cup was much more interesting.

"You are too polite, High Priest. Since the peace talks cannot be concluded, how did you get here? I will send you back to Zhao Kingdom in one piece."

"Lest it be as the high priest said, our great country of Daliang would detain your Zhao Kingdom envoys in Daliang."

It had only been over half a month since the war ended, but Gu Xingyan still had a strong murderous aura.

The high priest was so stunned by these words that he could neither go up nor down.

He knew that even the God of War Ava could lose to Gu Xingyan. This man was definitely a first-rate fighter.

But aren’t those who know how to fight reckless men?

How can someone be so good at talking?

Just like Ava, he has never been able to win in verbal battles.

Unless this person is barbaric, you have to use force.

While he was thinking, he heard Gu Xingyan say, "Oh, by the way, please ask the high priest to return to the capital and tell the monarch of your country that Daliang is a great country and can afford to support 210,000 more people."

"Since he is reluctant to part with his wealth and does not regard the lives of the soldiers who fought for him as his own, then I, Daliang, will take care of them for him. I, the Emperor of Daliang, am kind and will not mistreat these prisoners. Let him rest assured."

The high priest looked at Gu Xingyan blankly.

What does he mean?

What does it mean that a monarch is reluctant to part with gold, silver and other valuables?

Wouldn't this make the king lose the support of the people of Zhao?

How can the king be assured when his people are in the hands of the enemy?

What if the new emperor of Daliang gets angry and not only kills them all, but also attacks the capital directly?

There are not many troops left in the capital.

Then he, the high priest of Zhao State, would become a sinner for all eternity.

The high priest was in a panic, but Gu Xingyan couldn't see it.
