"This...we were all in a good mood, why are you all so tense?" Seeing this, the Queen of Kucha could only bite the bullet and try to persuade them again.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she felt embarrassed and could only place her hopes on Huan Yi, who was standing next to her.
She leaned close to Huan Yi's ear and whispered in his ear, "General, could you please stop those young generals? I... will certainly serve you well."
She had calculated everything perfectly. She was already an old woman, past her prime, so what did she care about being chaste? If she could sacrifice her chastity to protect her daughters-in-law and the safety of Kucha, it would be a worthwhile deal.
The alluring voice sent shivers down Huan Yi's spine. In particular, when he turned his head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the high, white mound of her breasts, he almost couldn't resist taking her right there and then.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. Even I, the commander, must bow respectfully to the Grand Commandant!" Huan Yi feigned helplessness, then sighed, "Even my military orders might not be obeyed!"
"The three of them and their soldiers obeyed only the orders of the King and the Grand Commandant."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Dowager of Kucha felt a surge of despair, but she failed to notice the fleeting fervor in Huan Yi's eyes. "Kucha is destroyed, and you won't escape either. How can I let lust interfere with important matters?"
Seeing this, Bai Wuni could no longer sit still. Between life and death and being cuckolded, he decisively chose the latter. "Why are the three generals so angry?"
All eyes turned to Bai Wuni, and everyone knew that his next words would determine the fate of Kucha.
"They're just women!" Bai Wuni said with feigned ease and nonchalance, "Our Western Regions are rich in beautiful women. The three young generals are young and promising. It's their good fortune that they've taken a liking to them."
"The people of Kucha respect the people of Qin. As the host, how can we let our distinguished guests feel disheartened?"
As the saying goes, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Even if he tried his best to embellish his words to cover up his weakness and fear, no one present was a fool. Who could not understand the meaning of his words?
"I'm fucking speechless. Is this kid a coward?" Zhang Han and the other two looked at each other in disbelief. Even at this point, when things had gone so far, how could Green Turtle still remain so composed?
Unfortunately, Wang Li, who was always the most cunning of the three, came up with another plan when he saw things had come to this point: "Since Your Majesty is so hospitable, we will not refuse."
At this point, he changed the subject and laughed, "I knew the rumors were true, but since we have many soldiers with us, why don't you offer up your wives and daughters...?"
"This will relieve their worries and also fulfill your reputation for hospitality. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
Okay, okay!
Are they really pushing their luck and taking advantage of my kindness?
The faces of the Kucha officials present turned green. The brick hadn't hit them; it was King Baiwuni who was embarrassed. At most, they had lost face, but they hadn't suffered any real loss.
But Wang Li's words were different; he wanted to turn everyone present into green-haired turtles like Bai Wuni. How could that be possible?
In an instant, countless rebuttals arose.
"No!"
"That makes no sense!"
"It seems the Qin generals have had too much to drink, otherwise they wouldn't have uttered such absurd tales."
"......"
Bai Wuni surveyed the ministers with icy eyes, never expecting them to betray him.
who is he?
He is the king of Kucha!
For the sake of Kucha, he endured humiliation, watching his mother and wife being defiled without daring to speak out.
He has given so much, why can't these ministers do the same?
At that moment, an overwhelming murderous intent rose in his heart.
"Smack!"
"Did I really give you guys a damn favor?!"
Zhang Han cursed angrily, then turned to Huan Yi, cupped his hands, knelt on one knee, and said, "Commander, since Kucha looks down on us, what are we still doing here shamelessly?"
"Yes, Commander, why suffer such humiliation here?" Wang Li shouted in unison.
Meng Tian sneered, "They're just rambling on and on; I don't think they have the slightest bit of sincerity in treating guests."
Upon receiving the three men's signal, Huan Yi immediately stood up, his face icy cold, his wolfish eyes fixed on Bai Wuni, who was sweating profusely beside him.
"Insolence! Don't forget who you are!" Bai Wuni gritted his teeth and looked at his subordinates, his eyes filled with bloodlust.
At this moment, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Your Majesty, I think the Qin state has come here to deliberately humiliate us."
"It would be better to kill them today, save face, and then send envoys to Xianyang to meet the King of Qin. We should ask them how the King of Qin disciplines his officials."
This statement immediately drew numerous echoes.
Bai Wuni was suddenly tempted, and the look in his eyes as he looked at the group changed abruptly.
"Ha..." Huan Yi burst into laughter, "My Qin army is stationed just three miles away from your royal court. Do you really think you can kill us?"
"Are you sure you can withstand the wrath of the Grand Commandant of Qin?!"
After saying that, Huan Yi stood up and, not forgetting to hold the Empress Dowager's delicate hand, strode out of the tent.
"If you don't dare to move, I'm leaving."
Huan Yi wasn't afraid at all. He winked at the three men, and Zhang Han and the other two immediately grabbed the women beside them and headed out of the tent.
"Your Majesty, we are tired and will go to rest now. How about arranging a more comfortable tent for us?" Wang Li turned around and revealed a sly smile.
Bai Wuni felt conflicted, but in the end he didn't dare to actually order them to be killed. He waved his hand weakly, "Quickly lead the way for the Qin generals."
In the end... he took the blame for everything.
The Empress Dowager and the princesses looked utterly hopeless as they were led out of the tent by several men. They turned back and gave Bai Wuni a bitter smile, which broke Bai Wuni's heart.
One of them was his mother, and the others were his beloved queens...
What a disgrace! What a disgrace!
Outside the tent, Kucha guards were already waiting. Upon seeing the three of them emerge, they immediately led the way, guiding them to several luxurious tents.
"You two lads better give it your all tonight, hahaha!"
Huan Yi and Zhang Han, having been through similar experiences, looked at each other and laughed heartily, then pulled the foreign women into the camp.
Before long, decadent music began to emanate from inside the tent.
In the shadows stood a man with bloodshot eyes, gritting his teeth; he was none other than Bai Wuni, the King of Kucha.
The high-pitched groans that reached his ears shattered his heart into dust, and tears of humiliation streamed down his cheeks.
At this moment, he felt somewhat lost and bewildered.
After much thought, he realized he didn't even have a chance to take revenge on the Qin state.
Before Qin, this black dragon soaring through the nine heavens, Kucha saw it as an ant peering at the sky, with no chance of retaliating whatsoever.
He couldn't even get help from the Xiongnu!
