Charlie's insults towards Chu Rong were incredibly vicious, and Chu Rong's words were equally fluent and outrageous. Lu Xiaoyao and Lord Cui, who were guarding the three of them, listened with their mouths and eyes twitching violently.
Charlie's passionate outburst made even Mingmei, who was standing not far away with the other servants, suddenly feel an urge to cover her face and run away.
ah!
Is this how she uses the boxed lunches she sells?
Used to insult people?!
Charlie's solo battle skills left this group of burly steppe men stunned and speechless for a long time.
It took a long time before Julian, who was standing to the side, restrained Charlie, who wanted to go at it for another three hundred rounds, and then spoke their demands to the tyrant in fluent Chu Rong language.
Julian's voice wasn't loud, but given the previous situation where no one had argued, everyone had already quieted down.
Therefore, Julian spoke to the tyrant, and those who had gathered around heard him.
Julian threatened the tyrant's life to force the Chu Rong to withdraw their troops and promised not to attack Hua Liang for a hundred years!
This is not just a verbal promise, but also a written pledge bearing the seal of a tyrant.
"Don't even think about it!"
The burly, bearded general at the head of the group was furious when he heard them make such a demand. He thought it was ridiculous to ask them to withdraw their troops at this point.
"Then you can forget about your emperor living!"
Charlie was astonished to hear that someone disagreed!
The hand holding the dagger pierced the tyrant's neck, drawing a drop of blood. The crowd, which had just quieted down, erupted in screams again, begging them to stop!
"A hundred years is too long."
An elderly Chu Rong man who looked like a civil official gripped his goatee tightly, his eyes nervously fixed on the hand holding the dagger. He then looked at the tyrant who had remained silent and tentatively uttered a few words.
Upon hearing this, the tyrant also spoke up: "Ten years."
"Is this how you haggle?!" Charlie glared at the tyrant as if he'd seen a ghost. "Shut up!"
After saying that, Charlie turned his head and glared at the old man, then said, "Ninety years!"
Tyrant: "Five years."
The old man didn't say anything; the tyrant himself was courting disaster by haggling over the price.
"Get out! Get out! Mind your own business!"
Charlie didn't dare kill the tyrant outright, but he was willing to yell at him a couple of times.
tyrant:"……"
Others: "..."
"Eighty years, no less!" After berating the tyrant, Charlie turned back to them and stated his "bottom line."
"Twenty years, no more than that!" The white-haired old minister nearly snapped his beard as he uttered this number under the tyrant's gaze.
"Do you believe I can kill him right now?!"
I've seen some stubborn people before. Even now, they still dare to demand twenty years?!
"Then go ahead and do it. You can just kill me. If you kill me, none of you will escape today. Moreover, Chu Rong's iron cavalry will flatten the capital of Hua Liang tonight and massacre the city."
Seeing that the old minister's beard was snapped off by their shouts, the tyrant had no choice but to speak up himself.
This single word sent shivers down the spines of the four remaining assassins.
As soon as the tyrant finished speaking, his murderous aura became completely undisguised, and even the innocent bystander, the merchant Mingmei, could clearly feel it.
The person in front of me truly came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Moreover, the other party is truly insane and has absolutely no fear of death.
"No!"
However, just because tyrants are not afraid of death does not mean that their subordinates are not afraid of death!
The nomadic peoples of the grasslands have always valued strength above all else. It takes many years for a single overlord to emerge and unify the grasslands. If he were to die now, what would happen if these people were to break through Hualiang in a fit of rage and massacre the capital?
After that, Chu Rong will fall apart again!
The Xia people, who lived in the Central Plains, were different.
The destruction of the old nation would not make these seemingly weak Xia people submit to the iron cavalry of these foreign tribes.
Without His Majesty before them, they might destroy Hua and Liang in this way, and tomorrow some Liang or Hua might suddenly appear and drive them out.
Without their emperor, their Chu Rong would be a disorganized mess. Before they could even withdraw their troops, the grasslands once again returned to their original fragmented state!
Seeing the flickering firelight in the old man's eyes, Charlie and the others wanted to speak again, but this time it was Lord Cui who spoke first.
Compared to the assassins who temporarily entered the script to assassinate the tyrant and cling to Hua Liang, Lord Cui's character is more courageous and resourceful, daring to take risks to get here for Hua Liang.
Therefore, during the final negotiation, all the secrets that the old man had kept hidden in his heart were revealed by Lord Cui with a few words, instantly silencing everyone around him.
Looking at the somewhat hesitant Chu Rong officials, and then at Charles and Julian who were holding the tyrant hostage, Mingmei couldn't help but sigh.
In the end, they even had to have an NPC step in?
Thinking about what Lord Cui had said, Mingmei's eyes flickered slightly. If she were a player, she would have met the merchant earlier, eaten her lunch, and then one of them would have wandered around gathering information while the other had a good chat with a wise NPC like Lord Cui. Thinking about how friendly Lord Cui was to the two players during the day, Mingmei just wanted to roll her eyes now.
Ultimately, it's up to the NPCs themselves to say that these players are bad...
Mingmei thought to herself, then glanced at the tyrant's side again, but didn't say anything. At the moment, she was just an onlooker.
