Chapter 175: Tied Hands and Feet
Chapter 175: Tied Hands and Feet
Li Yujiao woke up and found herself in an unfamiliar tent.
Her hands and feet were bound, and a man in his thirties dressed as a Xiling soldier was staring at her.
The memories before she fell into a coma came flooding back, and she suddenly remembered that she had been knocked unconscious by Li Yu'e.
Could it be that I was kidnapped again?
She quickly sat up and looked at the Xiling Army with vigilance and fearlessness.
The Xiling Army soldier smiled at her and said, "Are you awake? They say that Daqi's General Zhenxi loves his wife dearly. After seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed a beauty. No wonder, no wonder!"
Li Yujiao asked coldly: "Do you want to use me to threaten him?"
Gu Yansheng sneered, "What do you think he will give me in exchange? One city, or two cities?"
Li Yujiao sneered, "You want to exchange me for a city? Are you crazy?"
That is Daqi's kingdom. Any human being knows how to weigh the pros and cons. It is not worth exchanging a city for a person!
Gu Yansheng came closer, stared at Li Yujiao's face for a while, and then sneered: "I have sent someone to inform him, you will see if he will go crazy for you!"
……
Birch Terrace.
The people sent by Jing Qishan searched for a long time, but there was no sign of Li Yujiao.
At this time, the leader of the Black Bear Village and others also arrived.
"I heard that my sister-in-law was kidnapped by a master from Xiling hiding in Daqi! It's all our fault for not protecting her well enough. If we could send more people to escort her down the mountain, this wouldn't have happened!"
Jing Qishan patted the boss's shoulder and said calmly, "Don't blame you. I have already investigated. This group of secret agents has been lurking in Daqi for a long time. They have been silent until today. No one can prevent them."
The eldest boss said: "Then the most urgent thing is that we should also activate the secret agents hidden in Xiling to rescue my brother and sister-in-law!"
Jing Qishan shook his head: "My wife must be under heavy guard now. I'm afraid no matter how many spies we have, we won't be able to save her."
The eldest boss was so angry that he smashed a table with his fist: "This Xiling Army is too much. They actually treated a woman like this! Also, if anything happens to my seventh son, I will definitely fight them!"
Jing Qishan asked: "What happened to Old Seven?"
The eldest boss was sighing. It was Yu Meiniang who said, "When my sister-in-law was kidnapped today, the seventh brother followed her and has not returned yet. I don't know if she is alive or dead. The people who were sent out only saw bloodstains, but didn't find anyone!"
Jing Qishan clenched his fists again.
At this time, someone outside suddenly came to report: "General, the Xiling envoy wants to see you!"
Jing Qishan immediately said: "Announce!"
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in Xiling style was brought in.
After he came in, he saw the people in the room, especially those dressed as gangsters from Black Bear Village, and his eyes couldn't help but wander.
But when he thought about the bargaining chips he had in his hand, he straightened his back after a brief salute.
"General Jing, your wife is visiting us in Xiling and is doing well," said the messenger.
Jing Qishan sneered: "You guys are so smart to call robbery a visit."
The messenger smiled and said, "Don't worry, General. Madam is fine now. Our General Gu is very hospitable, but this hospitality has its limits. Our General Gu hopes that General Jing can exchange Huatai and Qiu Ning!"
The eldest boss lost his temper and shouted, "He wishes, Huatai was originally ours."
The messenger said: "Then... I'm afraid the general's wife will have to stay as a guest in Xiling forever."
"You..." The boss and others were very angry.
At this moment, Jing Qishan's face was so cold that it seemed as if he was emitting chills.
He ordered his men: "Come here, take this messenger outside the city and kill him!"
The envoy immediately panicked: "Jing Qishan, when two countries are at war, if you don't kill the envoy, you will be ridiculed by the world!"
Jing Qishan stood up and said, "Two countries? You kidnapped my wife. Do you think Xiling can still exist?"
The messenger was horrified!
He wanted to say something else, but he was dragged out.
Jing Qishan immediately ordered his subordinates: "Mobilize all forces and attack Xiling!"
The leader of the Black Bear Village also said: "General Jing, we in the Black Bear Village will assist you, even if we have to destroy Xiling to the ground, we will rescue your wife!"
……
When Jiang Li and He Yongyuan received the news of the attack on Xiling, they immediately gathered their troops.
Jiang Li sighed and said to He Yongyuan: "This battle will probably be a bloodbath!"
He Yongyuan also shook his head helplessly: "It is true that there will be rivers of blood and countless lives will be lost, but if we don't fight, people all over the world will laugh at our Daqi Army for being cowardly. The women have all been abducted, and we dare not fight."
Jiang Li said worriedly, "But in this battle, countless innocent women will die. When the blood flows like a river, Sister Jiao will bear more infamy. Many people will blame her for the death of their family members and call her a beauty who brings disaster. She will become a sinner in history!"
He Yongyuan said: "But if we win this battle, even if there are countless casualties, the people of Xiling will not dare to be arrogant in the future. I'm afraid they will destroy the country directly."
"We will also lose at least 200,000 troops, so the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."
……
Xiling camp.
"What? The messenger was beheaded?" Gu Yansheng was shocked and angry.
The subordinate said: "Not only was the envoy killed, but the Daqi Army also gathered more than 300,000 troops and said they were going to attack Xiling!"
"W-what?"
Gu Yansheng looked back at Li Yujiao who was still tied up, "Jing Qishan is doing this, isn't he worried that I will kill his wife in a rage?"
Li Yujiao was also shocked.
Jing Qishan is crazy!
If he starts a war today, it will definitely lead to a war between the two countries, and who knows how many people will die!
Huacheng and Qiu Ning have finally regained their vitality, and refugees from far away places are rushing back to protect their businesses. If a war breaks out, they will not only be displaced again, but may also lose their lives!
At this point, the best solution is to sacrifice her. Otherwise, even if she can survive the war, others will call her a femme fatale.
Li Yujiao couldn't help but ask Gu Yansheng: "General Gu, I know that you Xiling has lost two cities in a row, and you are eager to take the cities back now, but this is not the way to ask for it. Although Jing Qishan cares about me, if he uses the city in exchange, he will become a sinner for all eternity, and he would rather die than do this.
General Gu, do you want to see the two countries go to war? How long can you resist them with 300,000 troops? Aren't you afraid that they will attack your capital of Xiling and eventually destroy your country?"
Gu Yansheng couldn't help but shudder.
Now he only has hundreds of thousands of troops. Once the city gate is lost and the Daqi army rushes in, considering Jing Qishan's current anger, they will definitely massacre the city.
By then, he will also become Xiling’s eternal sinner!
Li Yu said: "General Yan, how about I make a deal with you?"
