Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hao tried to calm himself down.
So as not to fall into the other party's beauty trap.
Then, pretending to be calm, he asked, "The Prime Minister's invitation today should not only be to fulfill the bet we made in Qinzhou, right?"
Xie Daoxun nodded slightly and said softly, "Sir, do you have any feelings about our conversation in Qinzhou now?"
Zhao Hao's heart was moved, and he pretended to be dumb and said, "I don't quite understand what the Prime Minister means."
Xie Daoxun said, "Sir, why do you have to play dumb? I think, given your importance, it is not someone Yu Ping would dare to decide to split the troops from Yuye."
"I guess these subsequent actions were taken after asking for permission from the Imperial Capital."
"I don't know, am I right?"
Zhao Hao took a deep breath and his eyes fell on Xie Daoxun.
This woman really has a very sharp brain, it’s as if she saw it with her own eyes.
Seeing Zhao Hao silent, Xie Daoxun continued: "In the eyes of Her Majesty the Queen of Dagan, the young master does not seem to be as important as imagined."
"Isn't it?"
Zhao Hao chuckled.
No words.
However, this smile was somewhat awkward.
Because he couldn't refute it.
Xie Daoxun continued: "Could it be that even so, you still don't believe what I said at the beginning?"
"Or, you have already begun to believe in your heart, but you haven't made any other choices yet?"
Zhao Hao said softly: "With the intelligence and wisdom of the Prime Minister, do you need me to say anything?"
"Shouldn't it be necessary?"
"As the saying goes, if the ruler wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die. I am a great subject..."
Xie Daoxun's beautiful eyes moved, and she said, "I don't think that you would be the kind of blindly loyal person."
Zhao Hao smiled and asked, "Then what kind of person am I in your opinion, Lord Prime Minister?"
Xie Daoxun pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master is a unique person in this world."
"Sir, since you have pledged your allegiance to someone who is not worthy of your loyalty, you must withdraw in time to protect yourself and your family!"
"With your ability, is there anywhere in this world that you cannot go?"
"Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree like this?"
Zhao Hao shook his head and laughed, saying: "The Prime Minister thinks too highly of me, Zhao!"
Xie Daoxun said: "Don't say anything false in front of you, sir. If it weren't for you, Dagan would not be what it is now."
"Since the young master came into everyone's sight, his series of actions are well known."
"Young Master has never let her down, nor has he let anyone down."
"It can be said that it was the young master's efforts that turned the tide and brought Dagan to its current situation."
"But in the end, you got this reward."
"Sir, don't you think it's not worth it?"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I only do what I think I should do."
"As for what others think and say, it's actually not that important to me."
Xie Daoxun said, "Sir, how about we make another bet?"
Zhao Hao asked curiously, "What does the Prime Minister want to bet on?"
Xie Daoxun said: "Let's make a bet. Will General Yu Ping send troops to rescue your isolated army within ten days?"
Of course, Zhao Hao immediately understood what Xie Daoxun meant.
Now, he was alone and trapped deep in the enemy's territory on the south bank of Chushui River.
It was difficult to build a floating bridge at the moment.
Unable to escape the encirclement.
As a result, there is probably no choice but to fight to the death.
In this situation, Yu Ping must be keeping abreast of the situation at all times.
Moreover, reports will be made to the Imperial Capital at all times.
Therefore, Dijing should be aware of the situation on his side at any time.
If Yu Ping would lead troops to rescue within ten days, it would mean that the people in Dijing would be determined to save his life even if they had to give up the defense of Tongshan first.
Put his safety in a very important position.
However, if, within ten days, Yu Ping does not take any action.
That means the result is the opposite.
In the capital, his safety was left to chance.
Zhao Hao took a deep breath and looked at Xie Daoxun.
At this moment, he really had no confidence in winning the bet.
However, facing the other party's eyes, Zhao Hao still asked: "I wonder what the bet is this time?"
Xie Daoxun said softly: "Bet... If I win, I hope you can come to my Wu Kingdom from Gan Kingdom and serve my Wu Kingdom."
"But I think that you would not be able to accept such conditions."
"Let's settle for the next best thing over there."
"I want your method of steel smelting. What do you think?"
After hearing what Xie Daoxun said, Zhao Hao remained silent.
After a moment, Zhao Hao raised his head and said, "Okay, then I'll make another bet with the Prime Minister!"
Xie Daoxun smiled and said, "If that's the case, then you can slowly build the floating bridge."
"I will not retreat, but I will not attack either."
"Don't worry, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao picked up the wine jug, poured another glass of wine, and drank it.
"Then it's a deal!"
As he said this, he put down his wine glass, stood up and waved towards Wusong in the distance.
The two men rode back to the camp.
After returning to the tent, Zhao Hao told Wu Song about the bet between them.
Seeing Wu Song's gloomy face, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Wu, do you also think that we won't wait for reinforcements?"
