Chapter 701: Angry and Embarrassed

Liao Jiu also smiled. "I'm afraid it's difficult to borrow. The landlords don't have any surplus grain. The grain in our Da'an Kingdom is bought with real money, not dropped from the sky. Besides, the grain has almost been distributed. Our Da'an Kingdom is vast, with many poor people. We can't even provide relief ourselves, so how can we borrow from others? Everyone, if you want to borrow grain, don't ask. There is really no more."

Zhu Hanguo's sinister General Liu slammed the table in anger. "Mr. Liao, you sent merchants to our country and bought so much grain, causing food shortages in our country. You should return the grain to us. Can you solve this problem without a word?"

Liao Jiu said coldly, "General Liu, you also said that we sent merchants to buy it, not sent troops to rob it! Buying and selling are free, your country can completely refuse to sell it. Isn't it just making up excuses now?"

The scholar-strategist from Wanguang Kingdom, fanning himself, spoke casually, "You can't say that. Who knew this year would start off in disaster? Your Da'an Kingdom is fine, but we, Wanguang, Zhuhan, and several other countries are suffering from severe drought. There's no spring rain for planting, and the old grain has been eaten up, and the new grain hasn't been planted yet. In the second half of the year, the people are bound to not be able to survive and will riot. Life is difficult for us. We are all peaceful and friendly countries. Your Da'an Kingdom has the ability to help, so why are you so heartless?"

Liao Jiu looked over and said, "It's not that I'm heartless, but our Da'an Kingdom can hardly protect itself. Of course, if it's true as you said, our Da'an Kingdom has a good grain harvest by then, we can also consider selling some to your country. Instead of you gathering such a large army and suddenly marching on the city of our Da'an Kingdom, you are here to ask for help or for ulterior motives, you know very well in your hearts!"

Gu Qie laughed out loud again. "It's not that serious. Aren't we all sitting here for a peaceful negotiation? Our countries are also forced to do so. The reasons are indeed a bit untenable, but the fact is that due to the disaster and famine, the people can no longer survive. With nowhere else to go, we have come here to negotiate with your country, Da'an. We are also afraid that your country, Da'an, is too big and powerful, and will ignore us small countries. That's why we raise our troops here, just to have a good negotiation..."

Liao Jiu regained his normal expression. "You brought a hundred thousand troops to surround several cities of our Da'an Nation just to negotiate things. We in Da'an Nation can learn from your actions in the future. I guess there will be things we want to negotiate in the future!"

Everyone's faces froze.

General Liu of Zhu Han State was angry again.

He slammed the table and stood up. "Mr. Liao, how dare you threaten us here? Aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

His internal strength was so great that he smashed the table into pieces.

Several other people nearby offered their advice.

"General Liu, calm down. We are just negotiating and expressing our opinions. There is no need to get angry."

"Yes, some people just want to have some fun with their words. Let him have some fun first. Aren't young people like that?"

"You're just a brat, still wet behind the ears, and you don't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is. No wonder General Liu is angry..."

Although he was angry, he was also more wary of Liao Jiu and his wife.

Such bold words and actions, completely ignoring them? Could it be that he had some back-up plan?

Did the War King emerge from his confinement? Or had the entire Blood War Army rushed to Moon City?

The people from the other four countries were a little cautious and looked at each other. Only General Gu from the Aquarius Country had the most normal expression.

Gu Qie laughed out loud again, "I'm not saying this to you, brother Liao. You're being a bit arrogant and inappropriate. How can you threaten me? We are all reasonable people. We invited you here because we are willing to negotiate with your Da'an Kingdom. We are giving your Da'an Kingdom a chance and urging you to cherish your country. If a war breaks out, blood will flow like a river. It will cause great losses to the country and even more distressing to the people. It's all about killing and sin. Your Da'an Kingdom has just had a new emperor. If he doesn't take the lives of the people as his own and acts recklessly, he won't be able to keep his position, right?"

Jiang Lianzhu interjected, "Then according to General Gu, if we cede territory, pay compensation, and send food to the five nations, my son's throne will be secure?"

Her tone was flat.

Gu Qie said with a smile, "Princess Fu'an, we have come all this way, we cannot return empty-handed. We are willing, but our soldiers are not happy either! Your Da'an Kingdom has many cities and a vast territory. What's wrong with giving us a few cities? If you give us a few cities, your little emperor will have less worries and it will be easier to manage.

As for food, you don't have it now, but that's not a big deal. We can wait until the autumn harvest to give it to you. As for treasures, didn't your Emperor of Da'an dig up treasure and made a fortune unexpectedly? We are all good neighbors, so whoever sees it should get a share!

Liao Jiu clapped his hands. "I am truly ignorant. I have witnessed the shamelessness of everyone present. You, the Aquarius, Zhuhan, Wanguang, Qi, and He countries are all very good. Without hundreds of years of shamelessness, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to say these words. I applaud everyone! Congratulations to everyone for having thicker skin than a city wall!"

Jiang Lianzhu laughed.

Liao Jiu's applause made everyone present look differently.

Get angry out of shame.

General Liu of Zhu Hanguo really couldn't bear it anymore.

He strode forward, heading straight towards Liao Jiu.

His steps were firm and steady, his punches were as powerful as a bolt of lightning, and he was at least a warrior of the fifth level.

"You are unworthy, you little brat, to slander us! You are ignorant of your own limitations. This general will teach you a lesson!"

Liao Jiu did not underestimate the enemy, but he did not take it too seriously either.

He is now above the fifth level of martial arts. After eating the inner elixir of the dragon snake, he can not only breathe underwater, but his martial arts level has also been significantly improved. He is at the peak of the fifth level and may enter the sixth level at any time.

Besides, he had the laser gun given to him by his wife, so he was not afraid at all when fighting alone.

The two men started fighting.

It wouldn't be that bad if Jiang Lianzhu didn't help.

She believed that Liao Jiu could easily deal with General Liu.

She was paying attention to the movements on both sides.

Just now, when Liao Jiu was arguing with them, she spoke little.

This was because she had been sending out her consciousness, observing the situation in the military camp of the Aquarius and other five-nation coalition forces.

In Yuecheng, it is still a bit far from here, and her consciousness cannot cover such a distance.

Now they are in the center of the military camp, which makes it easier for her to observe.

First, we saw soldiers lying in ambush in several tents surrounding the commander's tent, probably more than a few hundred of them.

Later, his awareness expanded, and he could see clearly the area within a mile or two, centered on the coach's tent.

There were people hiding in those large round tents, which meant that the number of people was far greater than what they saw through the telescope on the wall of Moon City.
