Several generals in the tent also stood up and said, "Commander, the king's orders are sacred and cannot be disobeyed. How can you treat the goddess like this?"
"Enough," Danmoji waved his hand, silencing the noise in the tent. "Lupin, although you have brought the goddess, you have disobeyed my orders. Your merits and demerits cancel each other out. Step down."
Lupin gripped the hilt of his sword angrily: "My lord, you are the eagle of the steppe, how can you be bewitched by a woman?"
"Could she be lying?" Danmoji shouted.
Lupin's anger intensified, but he dared not retaliate in front of the king. He glared at Su Wan resentfully, then turned and strode out of the royal tent.
He and his younger brother Luna were vying for credit, thinking that the title of marquis was a sure thing, but in the end, they got nothing. He couldn't help but deeply resent Su Wan.
Seeing that the troublemaker had finally left, Su Wan felt a little relieved and turned to bow to Danmoji: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for standing up for me."
Danmoji waved his hand and said, "It is true that I am at war with the Great Jin. But my feelings for the Goddess are as clear as day and as real as heaven and earth."
"What is Your Majesty's response to my request?" Su Wan looked up at Danmoji.
Danmoji pondered for a moment, then said to Su Wan, "Goddess, if you can cure my heart ailment, I am willing to bestow upon you a piece of the most fertile grassland of the Chakala tribe, and you will be the master of that fiefdom. That fiefdom is a hundred miles in circumference, close to Youzhou of your Great Jin, and has the best pasture."
"No, I want you to stop the war with the Great Jin." Su Wan stood firm.
The game she's playing now is exactly the same as the one she used to threaten Yang with scissors: does the other party really want her dead?
In particular, only her medicine could save the King of Xirong; no one else could, not even Bai Zhiyi.
This bargaining chip is far more powerful than the scissors from back then.
“Goddess, if you heal my illness,” Danmoji pointed north, “I will reward you with a hundred servants and twenty beautiful women. You will live in the most luxurious tent, with everything done for you. Outside the tent, cattle and sheep will be scattered across the grassland like stars, and all of this will be yours.”
"Scattered across the grassland?" Su Wan asked subconsciously.
This lavish reward was something she had never heard of before. How many cattle and sheep was that?
Seeing that she seemed somewhat tempted, Danmoji smiled and said, "Three thousand cows, three thousand sheep. Enough to bathe in milk."
Su Wan gasped.
Six thousand heads, what does that even mean? Luna was overjoyed when she sold her sixty heads, this is a hundred times more, a hundred times more!
She almost nodded in agreement. But when the image of the Western Rong people attacking Youzhou and the people being displaced flashed through her mind, she forcibly suppressed this enormous temptation.
“My lord,” she said calmly, looking at Danmoggi, “my only wish is for both sides to cease hostilities.”
More than one person had told her how devastating the attack on Youzhou by the Western Rong army had been.
Why wouldn't she do it to heal the Western Rong King and bring peace to the people? Besides, after examining the medical equipment in the pharmacy, she had already devised a treatment plan.
If the king grants her request, she may face the greatest challenge she has ever faced since coming into this world—heart surgery.
