Chapter 742 I’m not afraid of death!

…

Not only that, the envoys from other countries also called out the generals who had led the troops to fight before, and made them kneel down and apologize to Liao Jiu and his wife.

These defeated generals had no choice but to swallow their pride and apologize to Liao Jiu and his wife.

"Your Excellency, the two noble Lords of Da'an, we have offended you many times before. We were blind and even tried to harm you, poisoning your tea and ambushing you. We were blind and ignorant, and our behavior was vile. We deserve death!"

…

It has come to this point, when the country is on the verge of destruction and its survival is at stake, and no one cares about face anymore.

How much is a person's face worth?

If they can really use their personal reputation to calm the Liao Jiu couple and relieve the country's security, then it will be worth it.

Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu didn't buy their tricks.

They kneel down to apologize, let them kneel down.

The conditions that should be pursued should be raised as well.

"We in Da'an won't take your cities from the four nations. Zhuhan Nation is rich in refined iron ore, so you should compensate Da'an Nation with three years' worth of refined iron ore production! And ten thousand taels of gold!"

The leader of Zhu Han State took a deep breath. Their Zhu Han State relied on the output of this ore to export to other countries and earn some money to supplement the national treasury. This was the economic lifeline of their country, and this was all the income for their Zhu Han State for three years!

But there is no other way if you don't agree.

The overall score is better than the city's. We tightened our belts and survived for three years, and the country is still intact.

"We, the Zhu Han Kingdom, will carefully consider the Regent's proposal..."

The other countries pricked up their ears and listened.

"Wanguang Nation, your country produces fine horses. How about this? Every year, each of you will pay tribute to our Da'an Nation with 10,000 fine horses. They must be of the highest quality, and you will receive 10,000 taels of gold."

"Qi State is famous for its textiles and embroidery, and is skilled in brocade and cloth weaving. You..."

In short, they only choose the best things in the country. They don't take cities because they are too far away, difficult to manage, and prone to chaos. They only take the most valuable and useful things. They ask for a high price first, and the diplomats will discuss the specific amount in detail.

Finally, the country of He was left.

The State of He is the smallest and poorest, and has no special features.

The envoy of the state took the initiative to say,

"We, Heguo, are willing to become a vassal state of Da'an, and are willing to pay tribute to Da'an every year! We, the people of Heguo, swear that we will never have any dealings with the people of Baoping again! Our Emperor of Heguo is willing to surrender and pay homage to His Majesty the Young Emperor of Da'an!"

Jiang Lianzhu, who had been silent all this time, raised her eyebrows.

He suddenly asked General Jiang, "After the Moon City Defense War, which country offered to support our Da'an Kingdom? How did they perform afterwards?"

General Jiang stood up and replied, "It is the He Kingdom. However, after the two regents disappeared, the He Kingdom's spies have not sent any news."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded to indicate that she understood.

"We, the Da'an Nation, do not want such fickle and fence-sitting vassal states like you. Even a hundred thousand taels of gold and grain..."

The number of people wanted is actually more than that of the other three small countries!

The leader of the country was dumbfounded.

At the end of the negotiations, Liao Jiu did not give them much time to consider. In about half an hour, every country basically agreed.

There's no way you can refuse.

Aquarius Kingdom suddenly lost one-third of its territory, and its heart was bleeding.

Several other countries also felt as uncomfortable as if they were being dug out of their flesh.

Finally, the contract was issued by the Da'an Kingdom, and the contracts of the other four small countries were distributed to the envoys of their countries to sign the contracts.

Only the one from Aquarius Country has not been distributed yet.

The leader of the Aquarius Kingdom began to feel uneasy again.

Jiang Lianzhu said slowly, "We have an additional condition!"

The Aquarius leader's heart was in his throat. He had already demanded six cities and 100,000 taels of gold! And there were conditions!

If he wants the city again, he will not have the final say.

"You, you say." He suppressed his heartbeat and said with fear and trepidation.

Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Erlangjun, whose face was pale.

She said, "Hand over Gu Rang from your Aquarius country!"

The leader of Aquarius suspected that he had heard wrongly. The ones who participated in this battle were Gu Yu and Gu Qie, father and son. Gu Rang had never left Aquarius and stayed in the Gu family. Shouldn't this be a fight with Gu Qie or Gu Yu?

"Gu Rang?" Was it a mistake? Or was there another soldier named Gu Rang who participated in this battle?

Jiang Lianzhu remained calm and said, "Yes, your Eighth Realm expert Gu Yu's eldest son, Gu Rang, will be handed over to our Da'an Kingdom for disposal."

Gu Qie suddenly became anxious. "I can't agree to her. She's a witch, very evil. My brother didn't mess with her at all. If you have any problems, come to me! Come to me, I'm not afraid of death!!"

Bang!

A slap suddenly hit Gu Qie's face, leaving five clear finger marks.

But no one was seen approaching Gu Qie.

I didn't see anyone hitting him.

Just like that, I was slapped in the face by an invisible force out of nowhere.

Everyone was shocked.

The look he gave Jiang Lianzhu was filled with awe.

As expected, has he become a god? He can even hit people from a distance? What magic did he use?

They originally felt that the treaty was too harsh and did not want to sign it, but now they dare not complain because Da'an has the capital to do so.

Jiang Lianzhu continued, "Gu Rang's crimes are unbearable! I don't care about your life. You brought people to attack our Da'an Kingdom, and you did evil things openly, but we still respect you as a man. Your brother Gu Rang did such despicable things behind the scenes, which makes people look down on him. You don't have to hand Gu Rang over, but you can give him two cities! We will capture him ourselves later!"

Gu Qie was beaten silly and his teeth fell out. Not only that, he also felt enveloped by a sense of oppression.

Even when his father was angry, he was not so intimidating.

For a moment, I didn't dare to refute.

When the leader of the Aquarius Kingdom heard this, he immediately agreed. He was on the opposite side of the Gu family and believed that the Aquarius Kingdom was ruined by the Gu family.

"Yes, we agree to hand Gu Rang over. After we return, we will immediately send people to the Gu Mansion to capture him and guarantee that he will be handed over to your Da'an Kingdom."

Gu Qie was unconvinced, "You! How dare you! Hand it over to me, I will replace my brother!"

The Aquarius envoy waved his hand and said, "Tied up Gu Qie and gagged him. He is interfering with the peace talks."

Gu Qie was tied up like a dumpling and carried out.

Finally, the Aquarius envoy signed the contract.

The crowd dispersed, and Erlangjun stayed at the end. He walked to Jiang Lianzhu's side and said, "Sister, thank you."

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "You're welcome, second brother. Gu Rang is so cruel and ruthless, we can't let him go."

Liao Jiu interjected, "The contract was signed, but Aquarius might not be able to capture Gu Rang and send him here. He might have already gone into hiding."

"Then we'll naturally find an opportunity to capture him ourselves. Signing the contract is a statement from the Aquarius Nation that they will no longer protect Gu Rang. Now that we have the chance, we can capture him or kill him at any time. This will make us right and avoid being criticized. After all, we are now acting on behalf of the Great An Nation, so every move we make should be justified to avoid rumors that spread and damage our reputation."
