"Why do you say that? Wen Jingchi is a prince, how can you compare to him? Shut up."
Chu Weiyue was stunned for a moment, pretending to be angry and embarrassed, pointing at his nose and scolding him.
The man laughed disdainfully: "I am not just talking nonsense, someone in the court wants Wen Jingchi dead, otherwise why would they let a prince come to fight.
If we surrender, we will easily become a vassal state of the imperial court and gain many benefits. So this battle is to kill Wen Jingchi, don't you understand?"
"As long as you cooperate with me, I can keep Wen Jingchi alive and stay by your side in another identity!"
"But you just said that you will become a vassal state of the imperial court and will obey the imperial court. How could you let Wen Jingchi live? Isn't this just pretending to obey but actually disobeying the imperial court?"
Chu Weiyue's tone was filled with contempt and sarcasm.
The man sighed: "Why don't you understand? Fighting now will not benefit us, the Waten clan, in any way. We have no choice but to agree to become a vassal state. As long as you cooperate with us, one day we will destroy the court."
"Do you understand what I mean? You are a smart woman, you will understand this matter. If you agree to cooperate with us, go and convince Wen Jingchi. What's wrong with you living a carefree life in Wateng?"
Chu Weiyue couldn't help but bow down to what he said.
But what she was most curious about was whether there was someone in the court cooperating with them.
There must be no one else except the prince who could make such a promise to them.
She sighed deeply: "But even if I agree, Wen Jingchi may not agree. By the way, I'm curious about who is cooperating with you, is it the prince?"
The man realized that he had said too many things he shouldn't have said and simply changed the subject.
“Don’t worry about this matter. Anyway, you surrender and become our traitor, or persuade Wen Jingchi. He will die in this battle.
Only if he dies can the two armies put an end to the war, but don’t worry, our leader will use other methods to let you be with Wen Jingchi…”
Chu Weiyue pretended to be thoughtful about the promise he made.
After thinking it over carefully, he nodded in agreement.
"For the sake of the people, I promise you that I don't want to live in fear every day. You also have to promise me that you will never let Wen Jingchi die after the success. He doesn't covet the throne much. I just want to live a happy life with him."
"I promise you! I will give you a house and an official position. You and him will stay in Wateng to serve. It will be much better than staying in your Central Plains, right?"
"Of course! We fought so hard for the court, but we never thought that the court wanted Wen Jingchi dead. What crime did he commit? Who would still serve such a court? I will now pledge my loyalty to the leader of your Wateng."
Chu Weiyue pretended to be angry, clenched his fists and cursed.
The man didn't know whether to believe it or not, and his eyes were filled with a bit of lingering feeling.
On second thought, what Chu Weiyue said makes sense.
A normal person would get angry and embarrassed if encountering such a thing, let alone she is Wen Jingchi's woman.
The conditions proposed by Chu Weiyue just now are indeed reasonable.
They would only be puzzled if she directly agreed to be a spy and didn't care about Wen Jingchi's life or death.
After a brief chat, Chu Weiyue suddenly made a proposal.
"Since you can come to see me, it proves that your leader is here. Why don't you let me go and see him?"
The man hesitated for a moment, but then he thought that Chu Weiyue's request was reasonable.
If I refuse, it might make her angry.
"Well, I'll report to the leader and let you know if I can."
Chu Weiyue didn't waste time talking to him, but closed his eyes and rested.
After nearly an hour, her door was opened.
The soldier immediately changed his attitude and smiled at Chu Weiyue.
"Please come this way young lady. Our leader wants to see you."
With a cold laugh, Chu Weiyue saw the man who had just come over.
He fixed his eyes on the two soldiers holding the handles.
"These two soldiers were too rude to me just now. You should punish them immediately."
He actually dared to order her around, and now she's taking it as an excuse!
"No, I punished them myself."
The man was stunned. He never expected that this woman could be so vengeful.
They had already agreed on the terms, so it was naturally impossible for them to let two little soldiers ruin the whole thing and send the whip to Chu Weiyue.
"Both of you, kneel down."
The two soldiers were so frightened that their knees went weak and they fell to the ground.
"Please spare us, young lady. We were confused for a moment and disrespected you just now. We kowtow to you and apologize. Please forgive us..."
"Forgive me, you big-headed devil!"
Chu Weiyue cursed angrily and whipped one of the men directly on the shoulder.
He whipped the other man a few more times, making them both scream in pain, and then he threw the whip to the ground.
She was not a violent person, but thinking about how she had just been humiliated by the two of them, she couldn't swallow this anger and kept cursing.
Seeing them in so much pain, he curled his lips smugly: "This will be your fate if you dare to offend me again."
"And those bastards in the imperial court actually dared to attack us and wanted us to die on the battlefield. From now on, they and I will be enemies..."
Chu Weiyue shouted loudly on purpose, wishing that everyone would know.
The man was standing aside, grinning from ear to ear.
The chief lived in a very neat tent. He was wearing traditional Wateng clothing and drinking tea.
Seeing Chu Weiyue coming, he stood up immediately.
"So this is the famous Miss Chu Weiyue. Come and sit down. We, the people of the Wateng tribe, don't pay so much attention to etiquette, unlike you people in the Central Plains."
His behavior is quite heroic, and his two big beards represent his identity and status.
Chu Weiyue didn't hesitate to sit down opposite him, picked up the wine and took a sip, then took a few bites of the food with chopsticks.
She had been hungry for a long time in the underground prison and had not a single drop of food in her stomach. She didn't care about anything else and just filled herself up first!
After eating and drinking, Chu Weiyue wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"I know all your requests just now, and I am willing to cooperate with you. Since the conditions I mentioned are fine, there is nothing special to say. I am Wen Jingchi's fiancée, and I can make good use of this identity.
As for the arms you mentioned, I haven't figured it out yet, but I can give you my arms map."
Chu Weiyue took the paper next to him and drew the arms map. He didn't draw too many details, but it still restored some of it perfectly.
"This is my meticulous crafting, but this cannon has a drawback. Even if I tell you about this drawback, you cannot use it."
This made the leader a little puzzled: "What does this mean? Why can't we use it?"
