"What...what did he say?"

He said he wanted the emperor to surrender to the Tang Dynasty...

"Surrender to the Tang Dynasty?"

As soon as Gao Zhiyuan said this, before Baozangwang could say anything, the surrounding Goguryeo remnants and youths erupted in uproar.

"Gao Zhiyuan, did you take bribes from the Tang people and come back to trick Jun into going up there to his death?!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhiyuan immediately swore an oath to the heavens.

"If I, Gao Zhiyuan, have accepted even the slightest benefit from the Tang people, may I be torn apart by five horses and struck by nine thunderbolts!"

Seeing that his subordinates were about to quarrel again, Treasure King immediately waved his hand and advised them to calm down.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what Minister Gao has to say!"

"Minister Gao, didn't the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty offer any conditions?"

"Your Majesty... the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty said that he can only guarantee your life, and can't guarantee anything else..."

"this……"

The remnants of Goguryeo were furious upon hearing this.

"This is outrageous!"

"The Tang people are really going too far! They're practically making a fool of our emperor and our Goguryeo!"

"right!"

"Since ancient times, there has never been such perfunctory surrender terms. The Tang people clearly look down on us!"

Despite the complaints from those around him, Treasure King was secretly delighted.

Do the Tang people not respect themselves?

This is truly a great thing! The less the Tang people value themselves, the more it proves that they can live a long life!

However, just as Treasure King was thinking this, Gao Zhiyuan spoke up.

"You are all right. I refused outright at the time and even scolded the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty for being delusional!"

What did you say?

"You still dare to insult the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, does Your Majesty not believe it?"

"I...I don't believe your grandma's leg!"

Treasure King slapped Gao Zhiyuan across the face, making it swell up.

"Who gave you the audacity to insult the Tang people? If you anger the Tang people, I'll never forgive you!"

Gao Zhiyuan was stunned upon hearing this, and then said in a pitiful tone.

"Your Majesty, how dare I insult the Tang people? I was just bragging to you..."

Upon hearing this, Treasure King immediately transformed into a caring older brother and hugged Gao Zhiyuan on the spot.

"Oh dear, my cousin, what you just said..."

"Did your cousin hit you too hard just now?"

"You too, why did you have to brag like that? This guy scared my cousin half to death..."

He asked, his face full of disbelief, when asked about his college application.

"Your Majesty, do you intend to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Treasure King gave a bitter smile.

"Do we even have a choice?"

"It seems that our only way out is to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. But there is a condition for my surrender: the Tang people must kill Yeon Gaesomun before I will lead my people to surrender!"
