My Fiefdom Lets Me Gain Soldiers by Lying Flat, the Female Emperor Begs Me Not to Rebel

In the Great Xia Dynasty, Lin Mo, who had transmigrated to become the son of the founding Grand Marshal, found his family suspected by the Empress. Their military power was stripped away, his fathe...

Chapter 58 Negotiation! Unexpected, isn't it?

That day, Feng Xueqian and Ke Suo led several Blood Guards to the Great Xia camp.

As a traitor, Feng Xueqian was extremely nervous.

Lin Mo (Bai Qi)'s actions had already spread throughout the Dos Grassland, and Feng Xueqian was truly worried that this King of Shu would tear him to pieces.

"Why the hell did I come here!" Feng Xueqian thought to himself. "In the end, I'm caught in the middle! The Doss people's defeat is my fault, and the laws of Great Xia won't tolerate me! I..."

According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, being a traitor is punishable by death by a thousand cuts!

A traitor like Feng Xueqian, who made great contributions to the war effort for the Dos people, will definitely have his entire family wiped out!

However, what he never expected was...

Upon seeing Feng Xueqian, the envoy of Dos, Lin Mo quickly stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and shook it, saying, "You must be Chief Kago's strategist. No wonder you're so brave!"

Feng Xueqian stood there dumbfounded for a long time, then asked in confusion, "Your Highness, how am I brave?"

Lin Mo said arrogantly, "You dare to come to my Great Xia camp all by yourself, isn't that brave? I have always admired brave men. Tell me, how does Kago want to surrender?"

"Huh?" Feng Xueqian froze on the spot. "No, Your Highness..."

How can this not be surrender?!

Keso, who was standing to the side, couldn't understand Daxia language, but he could tell from Feng Xueqian's expression that things weren't going well.

Upon seeing this, Lin Mo immediately changed his expression like someone from Sichuan opera, asking, "You're not here to surrender?"

“Ah, right…” Feng Xueqian was speechless.

"In that case, Xu Chu, chop him down!" Lin Mo shouted.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chu, wielding both weapons, strode over menacingly.

"What? No, Your Highness..." Feng Xueqian was on the verge of tears. "Can you let me finish what I have to say?"

"Oh, then you tell me!"

At this moment, Feng Xueqian's face was pale. He adjusted his breathing and slowly said, "Your Highness, my chieftain admires your martial prowess and wishes to make peace with Great Xia, become brotherly nations, and pay Great Xia generous tribute of cattle and sheep every year in exchange for Great Xia's favor."

"A brotherly nation?" Lin Mo thought for three seconds, then readily agreed, "Alright, on behalf of Great Xia, I agree!"

Feng Xueqian stared at Lin Mo in astonishment, unable to react for a long time.

"Your Highness, you've agreed?"

“Yes!” Lin Mo spread her hands.

"Your Highness, why did you agree so quickly?"

"Why can't I agree?"

Feng Xueqian wanted to shout "Holy crap!" at that moment.

Koso grew impatient and shouted in Doss, "What exactly did you say? What do you mean, did he agree?"

“Chief Koso, the King of Shu has agreed!” Feng Xueqian replied in Dos, “but…”

"He agreed, that's great! Why are you looking so long-faced?" Unlike Feng Xueqian, Ke Suo wasn't as cunning. In his anxiety, he continued to press, "Conditions? Did he mention any conditions?"

"Yes, conditions. Can negotiations proceed without conditions?" Feng Xueqian suddenly realized.

Now that the Great Xia occupies the sacred mountain of the Dos people, its advantages are immense, and these conditions are likely...

Being in the right place at the beginning and stating your conditions in advance can give you an advantage in negotiations.

"Your Highness, Chief Kago has expressed his willingness to offer three hundred cattle and sheep, forty beautiful women, and five hundred fine horses annually..."

"What? Are you kidding our players?" Xu Chu's face darkened, and he sneered, "Three hundred cattle and sheep? My Great Xia army wouldn't have enough to eat in a day! Forty beauties? Not even enough for my prince to enjoy alone!"

What's this about a BMW 500? My lord has always preferred Hummers!

Although Feng Xueqian didn't understand the last sentence about Hummer, he understood from the previous two sentences that Lin Mo thought it wasn't enough!

"Your Highness, the Dos Grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and resources are scarce. We hope you can be lenient with us."

"Tolerance my ass!" Xu Chu roared. "Listen up, you old scoundrel! I can tell at a glance you're no good. There must be 30,000 head of cattle and sheep, 5,000 beautiful women, and at least..."

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Chu glanced at Lin Mo out of the corner of his eye and, seeing that his expression was a little off, he obediently chose to shut up.

"Xu Chu, who is the prince, you or me?" Lin Mo frowned and said, "Don't listen to that guy."

Feng Xueqian was completely bewildered. "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Lin Mo cleared his throat and said, "Hey you, you don't understand me. I've always been low-key and a peace lover, and I never like killing people! Just from the look in your eyes just now, I could clearly see two words."

"What?" Feng Xueqian asked in surprise.

"sincere!"

"Ah..." Feng Xueqian froze.

What's really going on with the King of Shu? Did he see sincerity?

"Are you blind?" Feng Xueqian really wanted to ask.

"Hahahaha," Lin Mo laughed again, "It is precisely because of that person's 'sincerity' that I am willing to accept your request for peace talks."

"Furthermore, as I just said, I am a low-key person, I don't love money, and I have no interest in it. All those cattle, sheep, beauties, and fine horses you mentioned, I have more than enough of them in Xichuan City."

This wave of remarks completely baffled Feng Xueqian.

Sichuan is notoriously poor, and you're telling me you're so rich you don't care about money anymore?

But on someone else's territory, Feng Xueqian could only force a smile, "Yes, yes, yes! Great Xia is vast and rich in resources, and its national strength is formidable. Under Your Highness's rule, Shu is prosperous and its people live in peace and contentment..."

Upon hearing this flattery, Lin Mo's lips curled into a slight smile. "Yes, Shu is very prosperous," he said. "I've heard you're also from Xichuan. I'd like to ask, why did you leave such a wealthy place like Xichuan and betray us?"

"Ah..." Feng Xueqian was stunned by such a soul-stirring question.

"Did you encounter any corrupt officials in Daxia?" Lin Mo asked again. "If so, point it out boldly, and I will stand up for you."

Feng Xueqian, “…”

"Your Highness, the King of Shu, you must be joking!"

Lin Mo's lips twitched slightly. He already knew who Feng Xueqian was.

Feng Xueqian will be in big trouble then!

"Haha, let's get back to the point!" Lin Mo said, "Our Great Xia is indeed vast and rich in resources. Therefore, in this peace talks, I not only do not want Chief Kago for a single needle or thread, but I will also send him some gifts."

After saying that, Lin Mo waved his hand, and his men brought over several heavy boxes.

Feng Xueqian was shocked again. "Is this King of Shu some kind of idiot from a wealthy family?" he thought to himself. "The victorious side actually pays tribute to the defeated side?"

“Hey you, this is the gift I’m giving to Chief Kago,” Lin Mo said with a smile. “At the same time, I have another idea, and I hope you can convey it to me.”

"What?" Feng Xueqian felt like his brain couldn't process it.

"Haha, I am naturally benevolent and have always wanted to form an alliance with you, Dos... Alas, the Dos grasslands are too vast, and I cannot find your chieftain to discuss this with."

After you return, invite Chief Kagor here. I, the King, wish to become sworn brothers with Chief Kagor under the watchful eyes of your Eternal Heaven. What do you say?

"Damn it!" Feng Xueqian cursed.
