C198 Solicitation

Chu Jingli was playing chess with the Battle Mecha in Xuan Ye's army camp.

"General, right now the Dongluo Province is completely silent. I'm afraid they are already at the end of their tether. If we take this opportunity to get there, we will be safe." Say what you think.

Chu Jingli nodded, "Of course I know."

"Then why did the general …" The general was about to ask something, but he only said half of it.

Chu Jingli dropped a chess piece, "Taken care of the Dongluo remnants of the army, but it's as easy as crushing ants, now it's not like before. The emperor empress has not been heard of, so if we destroy Dongluo, then the citizens of Dongluo City will not let this go so easily. When the time comes and the enemy is in the shadows, we will be in the light, and the empress will be in danger."

Sui Xiong nodded his head, "General is wise and farsighted. This subordinate is impressed."

Indeed, their master had nine faculties. He did not care about the rules and was considerate when it came to matters.

"However, that Amu Du has not received much news recently." Chu Jingli lowered his eyes and spoke slowly.

Right now, Xuan Yue's army had already surrounded the Dongluo Army camp. If he was Amudu, he would definitely think of a way to break out. However, right now, the Dongluo Army was frighteningly quiet. He was still a little worried.

In common sense, the sky had always been calm before the storm.

"He must be tired of his wife and has long forgotten all about the military affairs." Ye Zichen smiled coyly.

Chu Jingli shook his head, "Right now, everything is unknown, so we can't easily come to a conclusion. If Amudu had other tricks up his sleeve, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with them. In our current situation, losing troops is not a wise decision."

"What does the general mean?" He was full of respect.

Chu Jingli dropped another chess piece, "Wait."

"Wait? "Wait for what?"

"I'll wait for them to come and ask for peace." Chu Jingli slowly picked up his tea cup and took a sip, "Right now, we are at the best of times, the enemy is just fish on our chopping board, but think about it, even if we take down Dongluo, could we manage Dongluo? Now that the Emperor isn't here, they will surely have ill intentions. At that time, we will pay a rather painful price. "

If the Emperor was here, Chu Jingli would definitely send troops to take over Dongluo City in one fell swoop.

Although Suifeng understood what he meant, he still felt that there was something amiss. "What if Dong Luo doesn't come to make peace?"

"Since the King of the Dongluo Clan has the heart of the world, I'm afraid he won't be too stupid. Since they've attacked our country with the power of a whole nation, I don't think they'll take the risk of giving us the jade. For him, it's wise for him to come and ask for peace."

"The general is wise."

He had just finished his sentence when he heard the noise coming from outside.

Chu Jingli retracted his hand, "Speak of the devil, the devil is here."

Sola walked in and bowed. "Greetings, General."

"No need to be so courteous, sir." Chu Jingli raised a hand to signal for him to rise.

He stood up and waited by the lord's side.

"My Emperor has sent me as an Imperial Envoy to present a letter of peace to the General." After speaking, the letter was delivered to Chu Jingli.

He picked it up without opening it. "Make peace?"

The meaning in her eyes was hard to fathom.

"Exactly." Sola cupped his hands together and said, "General, my Dongluo Clan has really troubled you this time. Please do not blame me, General. I offer my country's sincerity to you. Please accept this on behalf of the Emperor."

Only then did Chu Jingli open the letter. He frowned as he looked at the words in the letter. Then, a charming smile appeared on his face, "The sincerity of your king doesn't seem to be enough."

"But the general …" Sola was in a bit of a dilemma. He had previously heard that Chu Jingli was extremely difficult to deal with despite his young age.

Chu Jing raised his letter and raised an eyebrow, his tone hinting. "Our country is a great one, and we cannot afford to spend a mere three million silver taels. Do you underestimate me?"

The compensation and exchange of benefits between countries was like buying vegetables in a market. One needed to bargain, but one could not agree to all of them.

As a businessman, he had seen through everything.

It seemed that the young miss of his clan was truly the pearl of sight, and her choice of husband was not bad.

Sola smiled apologetically. "Then what does the general want?"

As an emissary, he was indeed very cautious. It was only because his luck was bad and he encountered a master that was difficult to deal with.

Chu Jingli said loudly, "3 million gold and 20 cities."

Even though he knew that the other party was asking for a price, wasn't it too excessive? If they didn't agree, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity?

Chu Jingli knew what to do, so he wasn't afraid.

Sola was frightened by his words. "General's request, is it equal to half of my Dongluo …"

"You only need to tell me, yes or no?" Chu Jingli interrupted him.

After thinking for a long time, he finally said slowly, "This servant has been too quiet, I'm afraid I can't be the host. General, please wait for two days. I'll give you my answer after I've consulted His Majesty."

Chu Jingli shook his head, "A change will happen if we delay. At most, I'll give you one day."

"Then... "Fine." Sola sighed. It seemed that choosing to attack Xuan Yue back then was not a wise choice. Now, he had suffered a lot.

Just as Sola was about to leave, Chu Jingli spoke again, "Why didn't you see your country's great general?"

"The general is not well, so he can only send me."

"Yes." Chu Jingli lightly replied. He picked up the teacup and slightly rolled his eyes.

After Sola had left, the footman finally spoke up, "General, if you're not acting like this, aren't you scaring me away?"

Chu Jingli was puzzled. Why did the Ba-Serpent become stupid after it left? Or could it be that she was too high of a demand from him and he was unable to reach it?

"A person's bottom line needs to be slowly tested."

As the Prime Minister of the Profound Truths. He wanted to ensure that the best interests of the country were sought.

"Now, all I have to do is wait and see what the Dongluo Clan's leader thinks." As he sighed, his heart thumped.

The Dongluo Clan people might not be so easy to mess with. If they were forced into a corner, it would be hard to imagine how desperate they would be.

Chu Jingli drank his tea and then said in a low voice, "You will scout the Dongluo Army camp tonight."

"Why?" It wasn't that Suyuan didn't want to go, but he didn't know why he was going there.

Chu Jingli seemed to be deep in thought, "I always felt that the matter with Amudu wouldn't be so simple. You go and check if he's really sick."

"This subordinate understands." Follow the orders and leave.

In the evening, he changed into night clothes and sneaked into the enemy camp.

He tried to find Amudu's tent, and he saw that one of the guards was undoubtedly the most numerous.

He secretly opened a small hole and took a closer look. Although the inside was brightly lit, there was no one inside.

Weird, why is he not here? Why are there so many soldiers guarding him? Something fishy.

He decided to keep watching.

About a quarter of an hour later, Sola brought the two of them into the tent.

"How is the task I instructed you to do?"

"General, please be at ease. We have already secretly sent it to Sky City."

"Very good." Sola nodded her head. Suddenly, a bright red blood stained the tent …
