"Soldiers from the Southern Camp?" The guard leader sneered, pointing to the two piles of corpses. "Aren't they all there? Didn't you see them just now?"
Prince Qin's body froze, and he looked at the pile of corpses again. Sure enough, every face was familiar to him, but originally these faces were alive, but now they were hideous and terrifying.
Especially those pairs of eyes that were still open, staring at him as if they were trying to take his life.
The more Prince Qin thought about it, the more frightened he became. He held his head and trembled all over: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
The commander laughed out loud: "With your cowardly nature, you still want to be a general? Don't worry, I value your possessions and won't let you die."
“How could this happen? Why is this happening!!”
Countless scenes flashed through Prince Qin's mind: his father's death, every attempt by Lieutenant General Li to stop him, and every attempt by Luo Xuan to instigate him.
The entire Nan Daying army was wiped out, but the Luo family army was unscathed!
Prince Qin suddenly realized what was happening, his eyes red as he pointed at Luo Xuan angrily. "It's you! You betrayed me!"
Luo Xuan still smiled and stroked his beard: "Your Highness, you are wrong. I, Luo Xuan, always keep my word. Look, I have escorted you here alive, haven't I?"
"Bullshit, didn't you promise to marry your daughter to me?" Prince Qin roared.
Luo Xuan's expression suddenly changed: "Don't talk nonsense, my lord. I never said that. It was you who wanted to marry my daughter, but I never agreed."
Prince Qin was about to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Luo Xuan had never personally agreed to this marriage.
He just wishfully thought that with his family background and status, Luo Xuan had no reason to refuse, and since he did not explicitly refuse, it was equivalent to agreeing.
"Luo Xuan! How dare you deceive this prince? I will make you regret it!"
After saying this, Prince Qin used up all his internal energy and roared towards the sky: "Everyone listen carefully, Luo Xuan's daughter is the former leader of our Great Yan State..."
"Commander!" Luo Xuan's voice was also emitted with his internal force, overlapping with the voice of Prince Qin. Many people could not bear it and covered their ears.
The commander raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly pinched Prince Qin's chin. He swung the short knife in his hand, leaving an afterimage, and several bloody and fleshy things fell down.
Blood kept oozing out of Prince Qin's eyes, mouth, and limbs. As soon as the commander let go, Prince Qin rolled on the ground in pain, only making "woooo" sounds and unable to utter a word.
"That's what a good boy should do." The commander wiped the blood off the dagger and put it into his sleeve.
Seeing this, Luo Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Baiyu people were trustworthy. Not only did they shut the boy's mouth, but they also destroyed all his martial arts skills. There was no chance for this boy to turn things around.
Just now, the fact that his daughter was the former queen mother of the Great Yan Kingdom was almost known to others. If it were to get out, it would be a disaster.
This is also why he kept coaxing Prince Qin before the Southern Camp was wiped out, making him think that they were on the same front and keep this secret.
Luo Xuan walked up to the commander and bowed, "Thank you, Commander."
The commander smiled and said, "General Luo, you are too polite. Without the cooperation of General Luo and the princess today, my Baiyu clan would not have been able to escape unscathed. I, the Baiyu clan, should thank General Luo."
Luo Xuan laughed heartily: "The Commander is indeed a straightforward man. I will keep my promise and hand Prince Qin over to the Commander!"
The commander nodded and smiled: "General Luo, don't worry. I will keep a close eye on this kid and let him make his final contribution to Baiyu Village."
Luo Xuan believed this. He finally understood why the Baiyu people, despite living on the border, had been able to avoid the turmoil of war for generations.
Given this decisive style of action, it is impossible to break through unless it starts to rot from the inside.
It would be better to achieve a win-win situation for both parties through cooperation.
"Commander, can I meet my daughter?" Luo Xuan asked.
"Of course, my elder sister and the princess have probably been waiting for a long time. Please come in, General Luo!" The commander politely led the people into Baiyu Village.
…
In the stilt house, Shen Ruoxi looked very calm, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Although the plan is foolproof, we are still afraid of accidents.
Until Luo Xuan appeared in front of her.
"Daddy!" Seeing that Luo Xuan was safe and sound, Shen Ruoxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Xuan was also very excited to see his daughter. He walked around her several times and made sure that she was not suffering here before a smile finally appeared on his face.
By this time, the commander had told the high priest everything that had happened that night.
The high priest nodded: "Very good, then there is nothing to worry about."
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxi walked up to the high priest and said, "Since I have kept my promise, what about the cooperation we discussed before...?"
The high priest nodded and said, "I agree."
Shen Ruoxi's red lips curled up into a smile, and she bowed to the high priest: "Ruoxi, on behalf of the people of Border Town, thanks the high priest for his generosity!"
"What cooperation?" Luo Xuan looked at everyone with confusion.
The commander was a little surprised. "General Luo, don't you know? The princess made a deal with my elder sister. If she can help the Baiyu people survive this disaster without losing a single soldier, my elder sister will agree to rent the Baiyu tribe's vacant territory to you, the people of the border town, to grow food and herbs."
General Luo opened his mouth. He didn’t know and no one told him!
His daughter had only been in the border town for half a month, but she not only knew about the plight of the border town, but also came up with a way to solve it?
This was something he had never dared to think about in the past!
The high priest was also surprised when he saw this: "Since the general didn't know about this, why is he willing to come and support my White Feather people?"
Luo Xuan answered without thinking: "Of course I listen to my precious daughter!"
High Priest: ...
Commander: ...
This is even more mindless than the way the Baiyu people pamper their daughter!
When the high priest took out the map and explained the areas divided for rent and loan, Luo Xuan's eyes widened.
If these lands can be used reasonably, the people and soldiers in the border towns will not only be able to have enough food to eat, but they will also not have to worry about having no medicine when they are sick.
His precious daughter is truly a blessing to the people in their border town!
"Although we agree to lease the land to you, we have an additional condition." The high priest said lightly as he closed the map.
General Luo's heart tightened. Could it be that things were not going as smoothly as he thought?
"I have discussed this matter with the princess. Anyone who comes to my Baiyu Village to farm must be a Han Chinese woman."
"If anyone wants to buy the crops they grow, the money must go into the hands of these women, not their husbands. If you agree to this, it's settled."
General Luo was stunned: "This..."
The high priest narrowed his eyes, clearly displeased. "Why, even General Luo thinks women are incompetent and unworthy of wealth?"
