Yan Yihan was very satisfied with Xi Ling's conditions, but he knew that he couldn't agree so easily. He had to be very careful with this kind of important matter and he had no use for the conditions that he had made people write for him.
After hearing the contents of the compensation, he calmly looked at Yan Wuzhan, who was drinking his tea, and said,
"What does Battle King think?"
When the envoys heard the word "Battle King", they couldn't help but turn their attention to Yan Wuzhan. So he was Battle King, why was he so young?
"Men, take these envoys down, do you really think that my Shan Nation is easy to fool? With just a few silver coins, you want to redeem so many people, kill all of you, and avenge the brothers who died!"
Yan Wuzhan continued to sit, listening to the emperor's question, he slowly spoke, but the content was cold and merciless. When he said this, he did not even bother to look at the ministers, his cold and arrogant attitude caused them to feel a chill in their hearts, even though he was unsatisfied with the conditions, did he not know that one million gold taels was already the limit for West Ridge Nation?
"Yes sir!"
However, they didn't have time to think too much about it. The moment Yan Wuzhan finished speaking, a team of guards entered the hall and prepared to arrest him. These people had been waiting outside for orders, so their speed made the envoys tremble.
"Wait, if there is anything else that your highness isn't satisfied with, please state it clearly. Right now, we are seeking peace. If there is anything wrong with it, we can still discuss it, can't we?"
The one leading these envoys was Lu Jian. He hurriedly bowed to Yan Wuzhan. Battle King really deserved his reputation. If he was unhappy, he would kill someone.
The few envoys were all stunned. The emperor did not speak, but Battle King gave the order directly. It was clear that he was the one in charge here. One of the old men quickly echoed Lu Jian's words:
"Yes, yes, yes. Our West Ridge Nation's crown prince is young and ignorant, causing a great disaster. Today, we are in the wrong. If there are any dissatisfaction, please enlighten us, Battle King."
The few of them looked at Yan Wuzhan in anticipation. Why was this guy so hard to talk to, directly ordering them to capture him?
When Yan Wuzhan heard this, he stood up and walked around them before saying coldly:
Let alone letting him go, even if Ben Wang kills him on the spot, it wouldn't be too much. The most you can do with this amount of money is to exchange for those fake civilians, not to mention those people, Ben Wang can only redeem Xiao Shaofeng if he can't capture all of you. Do you think Ben Wang doesn't know their whereabouts?
I'll tell you guys, This King already knew where they were. The reason I didn't kill them was to see the sincerity of Xi Ling.
With the last sentence, he raised his voice, causing everyone to feel a chill down their spines, as if they had already felt the edge of a knife.
It was not easy to negotiate with him that way. The envoys then turned to look at Yan Yihan. You are the emperor here, can't you speak up for us?
"Your majesty, our West Ridge is very sincere. I hope that the Shan Nation Emperor can speak some words of fairness. Three cities are already very numerous.
As expected, Yan Yihan could not resist the temptation and immediately turned to Yan Wuzhan.
"Zhan, this …"
"Alright, I'll give you guys some preferential treatment. Xiao Shaofeng can't go back, what if you break your promise? Take away all those fake citizens, but you have to do as I say, and add another 300 thousand gold, or else we can't discuss this anymore! "
All of the officials looked at Yan Wuzhan with admiration. This was why they were acting like a leader. If he dared to do something, he would not show mercy when he was tough.
"I second that!"
The officials hurriedly agreed. They were in favor of such a thing. It would be better if the emperor could listen to it … He was extremely satisfied. This child's actions were always so unyielding, but he was a little afraid that the other party would not agree. This was because what they said was correct.
"Since all our beloved officials agree with Battle King's words, what do you think, West Ridge's ambassador?"
"This... "Please allow us to discuss this matter. We are unable to make a decision, so please give us some time."
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Lu Jian immediately understood that there was still room for discussion. He hurriedly said that he could not make the decision and wanted to discuss it with everyone.
"One day. This King will only give you one day."
Yan Wuzhan took his words and said in a domineering tone before leaving. His aura conquered everyone and no one dared to stop him. This man was truly direct in his actions …
Only after Yan Wuzhan's figure disappeared at the door did the court finally return to its normal state. Yan Yihan put on a smiling face and said,
"In that case, the envoys can discuss about it tomorrow. Come, send them back to the government camp."
Yan Wuzhan had instructed him to do so, so no one said anything polite. Battle King was right, if he was polite, he would think it was easy to bully him.
No one paid any more attention to the envoys after they had been escorted out of the palace. Only when they felt safe did they start to talk.
"Envoy Lu, what should we do now? Yan Wuzhan is not easy to deal with!"
"This matter is not urgent, let's go back first and discuss it after my brother comes to find us." Lu Jian was very anxious, he didn't expect Yan Wuzhan to not give them any time, if he doesn't find his brother, how will they deal with this negotiation.
"Stop, your surname is Lu?" Right at that moment, Cen Wei caught up with a group of soldiers. His face was filled with anger, as if someone owed him a million silver.
"May I ask who you are?"
Lu Jian admitted that he didn't know a single person in Shan Nation, so why was this person looking for him when he saw that there were quite a few officials?
"Tell This Commander, did you kill This Commander's son, Cen Fei, yesterday?"
"You, you are Marshal Cen, disrespectful ~ I am Lu Jian. A few days ago, I was acquainted with the noble young master, but who would have thought that yesterday he would …" "This matter has nothing to do with me. If you want to know what happened, you should ask someone else."
Initially, he was still being polite to Cen Wei, but the more he spoke, the uglier Cen Wei's expression became. He could not help but change the topic, intending to leave. As an envoy, he probably did not dare to do anything to him.
"Stop right there. Don't tell me that this has nothing to do with you. If you weren't at the Duwei Restaurant, how could he have gone there?"
"Marshal Cen, I'm also very sad that something has happened to Young Master, but I'm really not clear on this matter. Please grieve. This humble one has something to do first."
Lu Jian doesn't care what he knows, you are being rude to me, I don't need to be polite to you.
You want to leave?
From yesterday to today, in such a short period of time, his men had not found anything useful. Since someone had come to tell him that the envoy had someone with the surname Lu, how could he not be excited? No matter who it was, if they dared to kill his son, he would definitely make them pay with their lives.
With a gloomy face, Cen Wei pulled the horse over and stood in front of Lu Jian.
"Hey Lu, let me ask you again. Did my son go look for you yesterday?"
Seeing Cen Wei being so unreasonable, Lu Jian got angry, "General, don't think that we're just bullying him. I don't know your son, so I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't be easy to mess with!"
