Chapter 610: Provocation
Gao Lizhu gritted her teeth. Damn it, they actually used military orders as a threat. It seemed that she had no choice but to agree to it.
If you agree to it, you will die in vain!
No, if we are to die, we must die together. We must find a way to make them compete to attack the city.
As the saying goes, "Where there is a good bait, there is always a fish; where there is a great reward, there is always a desperate man."
There is no such thing as a quick buck without profit. The four-nation alliance has its own ulterior motives and wants to take Princess Anyang, who is responsible for the prosperity and stability of the country, for themselves.
If this matter were brought out in the open and it was directly stated that whoever could capture Anyang would get Princess Anyang, would they all scramble to be the vanguard?
A gleam of light flashed in Gao Lizhu's eyes. Princess Anyang was indeed very capable, but compared with the Five Poison Sect's "Star-Splitting and Exploding Sand", he would rather get that hidden weapon with infinite power.
A smug smile appeared on his lips unconsciously. He straightened his body, glanced at the few people, and cleared his throat.
"My brothers all agree that I can take on this role, so my country of Gaoluo will serve as the vanguard."
After hearing this, Xiyue Lei was so happy that he almost jumped up from his chair. Finally, someone was willing to go through the terrifying sky thunder array.
He put on a smile and nodded repeatedly, "I was right. Brother Gao is a man of justice. He stepped forward at the critical moment to help us solve our problems. This is truly a manly act!"
Barag was also very happy. "Yes, a general like Brother Gao who is aware of the overall situation and takes on the task in times of crisis is a rare talent and a pillar of the country! He is worthy of admiration!"
"That's right. With a wise and brave general like Brother Gao as the vanguard, we will surely win the battle and achieve immediate success. We will be waiting for your good news in the rear!" Nangong Jin also hurriedly agreed.
"Alright, stop flattering me. I, Gao Lizhu, know my own limitations. Although I agree to be the vanguard, I have a condition." Gao Lizhu frowned, her expression gradually becoming serious. "If you don't agree, even if you chop off my head, I won't die."
Xi Yuelei was startled. "What conditions do you want to ask?"
Barhu and Nangong Jin also looked at Gao Lizhu with wide eyes.
Gao Lizhu cleared her throat again and said, "My condition is that if our Gaoluo army is the first to capture Anyang, then Princess Anyang will belong to our Gaoluo country, and you three countries are not allowed to fight over it."
"What? You want to monopolize Princess Anyang?" Barag was the first to lose his composure and slammed the table. "Gao Lizhu, you're going too far. Why should Princess Anyang belong to you? Just because we're sworn brothers, who do you think you are?"
Nangong Jin couldn't help but scold him harshly, "That's right, the four of us have signed an alliance. Whoever plunders the treasure will own it. But Princess Anyang belongs to all four countries. How can your small country of Gaoluo dare to monopolize her? You are really overestimating your own abilities."
Gao Lizhu snorted coldly, her face showing disdain. "Don't bother with these useless things. My Gaoluo army risked being annihilated by thunder to attack Anyang. It can be said that we barely escaped death. Shouldn't Princess Anyang enjoy all the credit for such an achievement? Hurry and give me the answer, yes or no?"
"No, I don't agree." Barhu refused without thinking, "Brother Xiyue is the commander-in-chief of our four countries. You should do whatever he tells you to do. There's no need to talk nonsense. If you dare to make trouble again, you will be punished by military law!"
"Barhu, stop pointing fingers. I wasn't brought up to be scared. I told you, if you don't agree to my condition, I won't be a sucker. If you have the guts, kill me right now. Do you believe that I can destroy you, the Northern Barbarians, with 50,000 elite soldiers?" Gao Lizhu showed no sign of weakness. He knew that Barhu wouldn't dare to be violent with him, so he boasted deliberately to provoke his anger.
As expected, after hearing his shouting, Barhu's blood boiled and he rolled up his sleeves, "Boy, you dare to challenge me, I see you are tired of living."
At this time, Xiyue Lei was also so angry that he gnashed his teeth. He was really ambitious. He only had a small country, but he wanted to monopolize Princess Anyang. I really don't know where he got the confidence from?
I wanted to use my status as the commander of the four countries to teach Gao Lizhu a lesson.
But then I thought again, the thunder in the sky was raging, the fire on the ground was raging, and wherever it went, there was ashes and smoke.
Gao Lizhu's journey was full of dangers. She would die anyway and it was impossible for her to reach Anyang City alive.
It would be better to agree to his request and just fool the fool.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Barahu and Gao Lizhu about to fight, and he shouted at them, "Stop it!"
Barhu was furious and looked at Xiyue Lei, "Brother Xiyue, please judge for yourself. The purpose of our four countries is to share weal and woe and a common destiny. How can he be so unreasonable and even want to monopolize Princess Anyang? Isn't this destroying the friendship between our four countries?"
"Alright, General Ba, sit down and cool down." Xi Yuelei waved his hand to signal him to sit down, then said, "Everyone, listen to me first. I think Gao Lizhu's request is not excessive at all. As the saying goes, 'Fortune and honor are sought in danger.' Since Brother Gao risked his life to break through the thunder array, he deserves to be the exclusive wife of Princess Anyang."
Barhu and Nangong Jin were about to object, but Xiyue Lei quickly gave them a hint, and they immediately understood what he meant. He was just trying to tease the silly monkey!
"Yes, Brother Xiyue is right. Brother Gao has made the greatest contribution and should enjoy Princess Anyang alone." Nangong Jin nodded in agreement.
Gao Lizhu is not a fool. Only when the real thing happens will these people show their true colors.
"Okay, since you've agreed, let's sign it right away. Anyone who goes back on their word will be struck by lightning!"
Xi Yuelei shuddered when he heard that. "Brother Gao, be careful with your words. Don't even mention the words 'struck by lightning'. That's too scary. We're all good friends, why would we sign a document?"
"That's right. A gentleman's word is as good as gold. A real man's spit is as good as nail. How can I deceive you? Just go and get struck by lightning!" Barhu snorted in his heart. When the time comes, he will be struck into pieces. What does Princess Anyang have to do with him?
Gao Lizhu rolled her eyes at him angrily and said, "Words are not enough, I need evidence to prove it."
Seeing that he didn't release the eagle even if he didn't see the rabbit, Nangong Jin clenched his fists and cursed in his heart,
What a shameless thing! He's really pushing the envelope and even wants to sign a document. Damn it! If we really sign and seal it, will it be his turn? Even if more than half of the people in Nanjiang are killed or injured, he will not hesitate.
Barag also thought in his heart that Gao Lizhu was a complete villain, with a very deep scheming mind and was very careful in everything he did.
This guy is like a ghost, with eight hundred crooked ideas in his mind. Who knows what good strategy he will come up with to defeat the enemy.
If he really signed a written agreement and allowed him to break the Heavenly Thunder Formation and attack Anyang City, then Princess Anyang would have nothing to do with him, the Northern Barbarians.
No, this good thing must not be given to him...
