Chapter 738: Revenge is Coming (Fourth Update)
King Nan of Yan suddenly laughed as if he heard a joke.
"It seems you are very determined. I have guarded the southwest for several years and have often heard that the King of Nanhu is magnanimous and governs the country with benevolence. I never expected that today, you would care so much about a small bandit leader and personally judge and punish him no matter what. It is truly surprising."
The faces of all the members of the Nanhu delegation were not looking good.
The meaning of King Yannan's words was obvious. He was clearly threatening them. If they continued to force their way, he would make Tuoba Yu's identity public!
If this is true, things will become even more troublesome!
By then, the problem will definitely not be solved by relying on these compensations!
Si Kou Ji stepped in to smooth things over. "Don't misunderstand, King Nan of Yan. We were only following orders. It's precisely because this bandit leader was so audacious and nearly ruined the relationship between the two countries that the king is so furious."
He paused briefly.
"If King Yan Nan still feels that it is inappropriate, why not make a suggestion and we can discuss it together? How about that?"
Xiao Chengqi suddenly said, "Lord Sikou's words make sense. We don't want to damage the relationship between the two sides due to misunderstandings. If we can resolve this issue properly, that would be the best. However... it seems that there is still no consensus within your country's delegation."
He teased as if jokingly, "For example, this Lord Rong Ke seems to have his own ideas, right?"
Si Kou Ji broke out in a cold sweat and secretly regretted it in his heart.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have brought him here in the first place!
This man has a highly respected status in Nanhu, and even the king and King Su treat him with courtesy. Naturally, he does not take ordinary people seriously. Even when he came here, he still maintained his usual high attitude.
Now that things have turned out like this, he has to come out and clean up the mess!
I really can't express my pain.
But no matter how he complained in his heart, Sikou Ji would never show these emotions on his face.
He did not forget the real purpose of coming here today.
"This, this... We were hurriedly assembled. Although we discussed this several times on the way here, it's inevitable that we have different opinions, isn't it? Furthermore, this Lord Rong Kerong is inexperienced and only wanted to obey the king's orders and bring the people back to report. His words were impulsive and impulsive, so I hope you can forgive him."
Sikou finally managed to smooth over the awkward situation.
Rong Ke frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but when his eyes met Si Kou Ji's gaze, he swallowed the words back.
But the frosty color on that beautiful and enchanting face was even colder.
Xiao Chengqi seemed easy to talk to. He smiled and nodded, "Lord Sikou is dedicated to the public good. We all understand. No problem, no problem."
It was easy for him to talk, but King Yannan had no intention of giving in.
He sneered.
"The turmoil in Longcheng not only caused enormous losses, but also cost the lives of many of our best soldiers. How can their lives be valued in silver?"
"this--"
Si Kou Ji couldn't believe it and almost vomited blood.
There are actually people in this world who make such specious arguments and confuse right and wrong!
Did they lose a lot of elite soldiers?
Which side had more casualties?!
You know, Tuoba Yu specially selected five thousand elite soldiers!
In this defeat, almost all 5,000 soldiers were killed!
The number of people killed on the other side was not even a fraction of theirs!
How dare the King of Yannan say such a thing?!
But Sikouji couldn't say this.
Firstly, it would be shameful to lose the battle. Secondly, and more importantly, those 5,000 soldiers went there in the name of "bandits", and they could not give in no matter what!
Therefore, they could only grit their teeth and swallow such a huge loss.
Si Kou Ji took a deep breath. "This... I heard earlier that one of King Yannan's generals was quite skilled and captured this, this person. I guess... the battle ended quite smoothly, right?"
Hearing this, Tuoba Yu, who had been silent and depressed since entering, suddenly straightened up as if he had received a great stimulation! Deep hatred also burst out in his eyes!
That person...that person!
He is the culprit who caused him to fall into this state!
If he had managed to escape at that time and not been shot by that arrow, how could all the things that happened later have happened?
Tuoba Yu really hated it!
"Ye, Ye——"
He would never forget that man, and those soldiers all called him "Ye Si" eagerly.
Ye Si...Ye Yunfeng!
Moreover, the other party also followed him to the capital!
Sikou Ji immediately pricked up his ears and finally couldn't help but turn around and look at Tuoba Yu again.
Seeing Tuoba Yu's strong reaction, it is not difficult to guess how many excessive things that person had done to him!
But before Tuoba Yu could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted.
"I didn't expect that Lord Sikou would be so concerned about these details." King Yannan glanced at him from head to toe, with a faint sense of oppression, "This bandit leader was indeed captured by one of my subordinates, otherwise it would have taken more time and energy. The trouble in Longcheng this time can be quickly resolved, thanks to this person's contribution. How——"
King Yannan's face was filled with undisguised pride. He chuckled and asked,
"Is Lord Sikou also interested in him?"
Si Kou Ji's heart skipped a beat.
He suppressed the emotions surging in his heart and forced a smile.
"A talented young man, who wouldn't want to meet him?"
King Yannan stared at him and smiled meaningfully, "It seems that Lord Sikou is quite well-informed. Before I even told you who that person was, you already knew it was a talented young man."
Si Kou Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that he had lost his patience and let King Yannan seize this mistake.
But at this time, he could only bite the bullet and admit it.
"Everyone in the borderlands knows about this battle, and it's been passed down from mouth to mouth. Naturally, I've heard a lot about it as well."
The atmosphere in the hall was subtle and strange.
Both sides knew that the person kneeling there was Tuoba Yu, but no one could admit it.
Both sides also knew that the reason why Sikou Ji suddenly asked this was that he wanted to find the culprit who had harmed Tuoba Yu to this point. They clearly hated him very much, but they could only put on an attitude of admiration on their faces.
It's really ridiculous.
Sikouji looked around, still unwilling in his heart, and asked,
"I wonder if that person is here today?"
