Cao Ya's panting almost made Shen Zhaozhao laugh out loud.
Seeing that Fourth Brother's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, she still controlled her expression and continued to act very professionally, holding Guan Pingle's arm and looking at the visitor tenderly:
"General, is this the king of Fanbang?"
Guan Pingle breathes out through his nostrils.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our king invites you." The visitor looked straight at Guan Pingle.
"Humph, your king has left us alone for so long, only for you to come over and say such a thing?" Guan Pingle snorted coldly.
"Please come in." The visitor was obviously impatient.
Shen Zhaozhao felt that the muscles of his arm were tense, and he felt like he was about to get into a fight, so he quickly pinched Guan Pingle's arm.
"General, they have invited us, let's go quickly and don't keep them waiting."
As he spoke, Shen Zhaozhao took the lead and pulled the reluctant Guan Pingle over.
At the entrance of the king's tent, the middle-aged man stopped again, stopped them, and stretched out his hand, "Everyone, hand over your weapons, don't bring even a dagger in."
Shen Zhaozhao spread his hands, indicating that he didn't have any, and looked at Cao Ya, "Sister, do you have any?"
Cao Ya shook his head.
Only after Guan Pingle handed over his sword and dagger was he allowed to enter the king's tent.
When I opened the tent curtain, a wave of heat blew in my face, carrying the choking smell of coal ash.
Shen Zhaozhao held his breath, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the brazier in the middle of the tent, with a raging fire burning.
It's already late spring, but the temperature is not low at all.
Behind the campfire sat an old man dressed in foreign clothes.
Hearing the noise, he was too lazy to even open his eyelids and just stretched out his hands to warm the fire.
"Wang, the people from Fengpai are here."
The man stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and then stepped aside.
The old man lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Guan Pingle and the other two.
The pair of eyes glowed yellow, and their gaze lingered on Shen Zhaozhao, causing Shen Zhaozhao to feel unhappy. She felt as if she was being looked at by a poisonous snake, cold and malicious.
"Fanbang King," Guan Pingle said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I am General Wude of Feng, and I am here on a secret mission from Your Majesty to take the two captives from the Warring States."
The old man squinted his eyes, warmed himself by the fire, and left them alone for a while before he spoke.
Hoarse voice.
"The sword has killed countless warriors in foreign countries, and it is atonement for the sin."
Guan Pingle's eyebrows jumped and he cursed in his heart, "You bastard, don't you want to hand the person over to him?"
"Fanbang King, your Majesty asked you to come here to kill Zhan Jian and Zhan Qing, father and son."
"What crime have you committed? Can't you redeem these two lives by going to hell?"
Guan Pingle stated that his purpose was not to ask him to release the person.
The king of Fanbang laughed when he heard this, "Your emperor has dealt with you a lot over the years. Didn't he tell you about the rules here?"
Guan Pingle shook his head.
"In the secret letter from His Majesty to you, he said to let you come over to meet the people of the Jie Zhan family."
The king of Fan Bang roasted himself by the fire and said, "In those days, his defeat in the war resulted in Fan Bang not invading the Central Plains for ten years."
"Now, you come here and want to take away the people here. What are you going to give in exchange?"
After saying that, those eyes glanced directly at Shen Zhaozhao and Cao Ya.
Guan Pingle licked his back teeth.
This lecherous old thing!
The emperor of Feng was really stupid. He could have killed the foreign countries by relying on the Zhan family, but he actually wanted to exchange the Zhan family for ten years of stability.
Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath.
So it was just as they expected, the emperor had always had connections with foreign countries.
In that battle, the Zhan family was defeated because of the emperor's tricks behind the scenes.
She secretly thanked her luck that Zhan Dongfeng and Zhan Beichen did not come in together, otherwise they would have exploded immediately after hearing this.
"What's the exchange?" Guan Pingle is also a man, and he knows exactly what the old man's look is like.
However, if he handed over the two girls, Shen Zhaozhao and Cao Ya, today, he would not be a man.
"Your Majesty asked me to come here. I think he has already reached a deal with you, the King of Fanbang."
The king of Fanbang waved his hand, "No."
"Just say it frankly. I'm quite interested in the two beauties beside you," the King of Fanbang stood up, and the old man bent his back, walked around the brazier and came to them.
Reaching out his hand, his old fingers were about to touch Cao Ya's face.
"Wait a moment." Guan Pingle pulled Cao Ya behind him and raised his hand to stop the King of Fanbang.
"Why? They are just two women. If the general can't bear to leave them, then he can go home. He can't bear to leave the two people from the Zhan family either."
The foreign king stared at Guan Pingle with his yellow eyes, obviously unhappy.
"General, I am willing." Cao Ya said softly.
She raised her eyes softly.
The king of Fanbang narrowed his eyes and laughed happily, "General, the beauty is in love with you, are you still reluctant to let her go?"
"No..." Guan Pingle was stunned. What kind of trick was this?
He quickly turned to look at Shen Zhaozhao.
Sixth sister wouldn’t be willing too, right?
Is it necessary to sacrifice so much?
Fortunately, Shen Zhaozhao did not express his opinion immediately, but gave him a calm look.
"General, if you and your sisters can replace the general to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, you will have no complaints. But, are the two members of the Zhan family still alive?"
She looked at Guan Pingle deeply.
At present, the important thing is to find out where the people are.
"Okay." Guan Pingle agreed while gritting his teeth.
If the brothers in the group knew about this, he would become a laughing stock.
If he came alone, he would kill the old pervert with one shot!
How can I just swallow my anger here?
The king of Fanbang was in a good mood. Seeing that the two beauties from the Central Plains were in his hands, he called his followers and said, "Go, bring Zhan Jian and his son here."
The middle-aged man responded and came out of the tent.
"Okay," King Fanbang waved at Shen Zhaozhao and Cao Ya, "beauties, come here quickly, let me take good care of you."
"What's the hurry?" Guan Pingle pulled one by one, "We need to see the Zhan family first."
He was not worried about Shen Zhaozhao, because his sixth sister and the pretty boy from the Zhan family had a good relationship.
In his heart, he was somewhat worried about Cao Ya, who had remained silent all the time. He always felt that this girl was harboring something against her will.
I'm afraid she might do something impulsive.
