Chapter 1107 Only One of the Two Remains

This completely frightened Wu Zhi.

He knew that this trip was of course extremely risky.

But he didn't expect that he would die in such an unclear way!

He believed that he was still young and had a bright future, so how could he die here?

However, Wu Zhi had no choice.

He also knew in his heart that this was just in vain.

If the two people in front of him wanted him to die, he would not be able to save himself no matter what.

But the desire to survive made him do this unconsciously.

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

Qin Liangyu looked at Wu Zhi and Hua Xin with interest.

These two people came to Nanzhong, and they must have no good intentions.

How could he not take advantage of this opportunity to make them leave in disgrace?

Hua Xin tried to remain calm and said:

"I hope you two ladies will believe what we say."

"We don't want to be enemies with Nanzhong, let alone with you."

"As far as I know, is Nanzhong very short of food?"

Qin Liangyu didn't give him a good look at all, and whispered:

"Food?"

"The Bai Feng you mentioned earlier did bring a lot of food, enough for us to eat."

Hua Xin shook his head hurriedly and said:

"Madam, these foods can only last for a period of time."

"One year, three years, or even five years at most, these foods will be squandered."

"What should we do if Nanzhong has no food at that time?"

"For this, the two of us can offer a little bit of our humble intentions."

"Just for the peace between Nanzhong and the Central Plains."

Hua Xin's words were very lofty, and Qin Liangyu almost couldn't help but roll her eyes at them.

"You continue talking."

Zhu Rong said hurriedly.

At this time, since there is already a suitable step, he should not be so aggressive.

Otherwise, if things go wrong, and the two men have to be killed, then things will become extremely difficult.

Hua Xin pursed his lips and continued:

"Since Madam is unwilling to trust us, we must show some sincerity."

"Madam, you can let us go first. Within five days, we must send the best grain seeds from the Central Plains."

"I believe Madam should know that the seeds in the Central Plains can grow regardless of the terrain now."

"Once these seeds are planted in Nanzhong, they will definitely completely solve the problem of food and clothing in Nanzhong!"

"At that time, the people in Nanzhong will no longer have to worry about food!"

Zhu Rong glanced at Hua Xin, his face Coldly said:

"Oh?"

"Since you have said so, we do not trust you two."

"What if we release you and you go back on your word and bring troops instead of food?"

"Do you really think we are all fools?"

Hua Xin coughed twice and said:

"Madam, don't worry! To show your sincerity, you can send him out first."

"I am willing to stay here as a hostage!"

"How about releasing me when the food arrives within five days?"

It must be said that Hua Xin really racked his brains to survive.

However, Hua Xin was also gambling this time.

Although Hua Xin did not know Nanzhong, he knew about other foreign races.

What did the foreign races lack the most?

Money, food, and people!

Money, it is probably not feasible to give them. Nanzhong is a closed place. They only need to be self-sufficient, and money is not of much use.

What's more, Nanman is still a semi-uncivilized barbarian tribe.

As for people, I definitely can't get them by myself.

No one would be willing to come to Nanzhong and live with the barbarians all day long.

In this case, there is only one breakthrough, which is food.

Hua Xin was just betting that Nanzhong was short of food.

He was relieved now.

According to Zhu Rong, he should have made the right bet.

For his own survival, a little food is not a problem at all.

Although the food in Hanshou City is far less than that in Hanzhong, it is definitely not a small amount.

It is not a big deal to give some seeds to Nanzhong.

"Brother Ziyu, you can't do this!"

"It is extremely dangerous for you to be here alone!"

At this time, Wu Zhi suddenly came to his senses and hurried to Hua Xin, saying with red eyes.

Hua Xin waved his hand:

"No need to say more, as long as you bring food within five days, our lives will be safe."

"I will stay here for no more than five days."

Wu Zhi burst into tears.

He never thought that under such circumstances, Hua Xin actually chose to sacrifice himself and let him go out first.

The two of them whispered, thinking that Zhu Rong and Qin Liangyu could not hear them.

However, they never expected that Qin Liangyu had amazing hearing and heard everything clearly.

However, Qin Liangyu did not need to expose them, but just snorted coldly, feeling ridiculous for their self-righteousness.

Little did they know that they had already fallen into the trap of Qin Liangyu and Zhu Rong.

Qin Liangyu waved her hand and said:

"Okay, in this case, I will agree to you two."

"But, I only give you three days."

"Send the grain seeds within three days."

"Otherwise, he will definitely die."

After that, Qin Liangyu pointed to Hua Xin beside him.

Wu Zhi was stunned at first, and then his eyes were red and he said:

"Three days?"

"Three days, how is this possible?"

"It is simply impossible to get from Hanshou City to Nanzhong within three days!"

"Moreover, it takes a certain amount of time to collect seeds..."

However, before Wu Zhi finished speaking, Qin Liangyu waved her hand and said:

"I will only give you three days!"

"If the seeds cannot be delivered within three days, you will bear the consequences."

Wu Zhi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hua Xin:

"Okay, three days is three days."

"We have already shown our sincerity, and after three days, please fulfill your promise, ladies."

Qin Liangyu did not reply, but gave Zhu Rong a look, and the two turned and left.

Immediately afterwards, a jailer came in, opened the cell door, and motioned Wu Zhi to come out.

Wu Zhi walked out of the prison door, and said with an especially ugly face:

"Brother Ziyu, it is impossible to deliver the grain seeds within three days!"

Seeing this, Hua Xin whispered to Wu Zhi:

"Don't worry, Ji Zhong, don't go to Hanshou City this time, but go to Bashu instead."

"Bashu also has grain seeds, and they can be gathered faster than Hanshou City."

"If it is transported from Bashu, three days will be enough."

Wu Zhi had a bitter face and wanted to say something.

Unexpectedly, he was directly pulled out by the collar by the jailer behind him:

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"If you don't want to leave, then stay in!"

Seeing this, Wu Zhi could only grit his teeth and leave quickly.

Along the way, Wu Zhi didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear of provoking these fierce barbarians.
