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

The high priest smiled faintly and said indifferently: "General Gu, the terms of the peace talks were negotiated, why are you in such a hurry to send us back?"

Gu Xingyan spread his hands and asked Li Shuangwan, who had already packed his things, clapped his hands and walked to his side.

"General Shu, were we going to force the high priest and the others to leave just now?"

The high priest frowned, as if there was something wrong with what he said, but he did say it.

"No. High Priest, what you said is too harsh. When we came in just now, you were packing your things by yourself, and you said that you were limited in ability and could not be the chief envoy of the peace talks. Our commander saw that you were short of manpower and was kind enough to help you. How did it become forcing you to leave?"

"I, no, I didn't mean that."

Li Shuangwan pretended to be innocent and looked at Gu Xingyan.

"General, it turns out that the people of Zhao are so good at confusing right and wrong. In this case, I now have reason to suspect that Ava was killed by His Royal Highness Prince Chen."

She deliberately raised her voice: "Did your king give you some hint? To kill your great general, but put the blame on me, Daliang? Or even if he didn't do it himself, he must have induced His Royal Highness Prince Chen."

She sneered again: "So as to seize the initiative in the peace talks from Prince Chen and force Daliang to lower the terms of the peace talks again and again. Marshal, do you think this is possible?"

Gu Xingyan pretended to think for a few breaths, then nodded: "General Shu, I really need to think carefully about what you said."

The high priest was shocked. Who was this girl and how could she know his thoughts so well?

When he came, the king did instruct that Ava must not be allowed to return to the capital alive.

But the king did not say how to kill him.

It was he who took the initiative and used some means to make Gu Xingyuan kill Ava.

How did she know?

He looked around calmly, and saw that everyone on his side, including the envoys and servants, were looking at him.

Several people looked at each other, and seemed to see a hint of surprise and an expression of "so that's it" in each other's eyes.

Thinking again, the situation during the negotiation with King Chen, no matter what the people from Daliang said, the high priest was very excited, and the conditions proposed by King Chen of Daliang were indeed excessive.

This was exactly what the high priest wanted, so he ignored King Chen and refused to listen to anything the other Daliang officials said.

He just kept saying that Zhao was a small country and couldn't come up with much money.

Let Daliang handle it himself.

What else can we say? Even if we kill their great general Wang, we can’t get these things.

King Chen's conditions were indeed a bit excessive, but the high priest acted unwilling to talk from the beginning, and said that you should kill the general king, which was indeed suspicious.

At that time, I didn’t feel it.

But now, after being mentioned by this woman named General Shu, it does seem quite interesting.

On second thought, in the court, the high priest and the general king have always had different political views.

The two often quarreled in front of the king.

When the general king could not win an argument with the high priest, he would attack the high priest.

If the king had not put pressure on him, the high priest would have been killed by the general.

General Liang, several adults, Shu Wenbo, Liang Tianyou and others all looked at him.

The high priest suppressed his fear and said in a cold tone: "Female General, your words are too harsh. Ava is the great general king of my Zhao Kingdom and a god in the eyes of the people. How could I force King Chen to kill him?"

"I just said that, why is the high priest so nervous?"

After Li Shuangwan finished speaking, he looked at several envoys from Zhao Kingdom intentionally or unintentionally.

The high priest was a little annoyed by her series of words.

Looking at Gu Xingyan again, he saw that his face looked very ugly, and his heart skipped a beat. If he took it seriously, then it would be the end of him.

Then, he watched Gu Xingyan stand up and said to him in a cold tone: "High Priest, since you have no intention of peace talks and have resorted to such a low-level conspiracy, I will not stay any longer. Please leave."

"I will report this situation to our emperor in detail. I believe our emperor will make his own decision and will personally write a letter to your king."

After saying this, without waiting for the high priest to react, he strode away with Li Shuangwan and others.

The high priest was shocked. How could this be possible?

Forcing King Chen to kill Ava was his own decision, without ever asking the king for permission.

What would the king think if he knew this?

The people from Zhaoguo wanted to stop him, but when they saw the murderous aura emanating from Gu Xingyan, they involuntarily took two steps back.

The high priest and others had no choice but to watch the people leave.

"High Priest, what should we do now? We can't just go back like this, right?"

The envoy felt a headache when he saw the boxes of luggage that had been loaded onto the carriage by the people from Daliang.

The high priest paced back and forth in the yard. He didn't expect that Gu Xingyan and the female general would be so difficult to deal with.

Especially that woman named General Shu, who with just a few words snatched away the initiative that they had worked so hard to grasp.

Now he was stuck in the door, in a dilemma.

"High Priest, we can't go back like this. Before we came out, the king gave a death order that we must bring our soldiers back."

"Yes."

The man looked outside the door and saw no one, so he lowered his voice and said, "Our Zhao Kingdom is small, with a total army of 500,000 people. We used 400,000 to attack Daliang. Now there are only 100,000 soldiers left in the country. If the other countries find out and attack us, we won't be able to resist. We have to take them all back quickly."

"High Priest, please make a decision quickly."

The high priest paced back and forth in the yard. What should he do? Go and talk to Gu Xingyan and sit down to talk.

The initiative that we finally grasped had to be handed over to others.

If we don't go for peace talks, I won't be able to explain to the king and the people.

"High Priest, the king has sent another letter urging us to pay!"

An envoy took the letter off the eagle's leg and handed it over.

The high priest took it, and the king said in the letter that he had received news that in the war between Northern Qi and Northern Jin, Northern Qi was showing signs of defeat.

Northern Qi was more fierce and barbaric than Zhao.

If Northern Qi was defeated, they would have to pay compensation, tribute, and even cede land to Northern Jin.

What Northern Qi was best at was robbing. They used to rob Northern Jin, but now they can’t do that anymore.

If they knew that Zhao was short of military strength, they would definitely turn around and attack them.

Tell the high priest to bring back 210,000 Zhao soldiers within one month!

The high priest took a deep breath. No matter what, he, as the high priest, could not become a target in the hands of the people.

We must not become the sinner who causes the country’s destruction.

"Come on, follow me to see Gu Xingyan."

Mo Lin was eavesdropping on their rooftop on Gu Xingyan's orders.

He was originally a secret guard, and he was the best at this job.

Unfortunately, he didn't have clairvoyance and didn't see what was written in the letter.
