Chapter 386 Conditions

Xiliang, Wuwei. Read М

Dou Zheng had been waiting in front of the Chanyu Mansion for half an hour.

This time, the third prince was captured, and he was sent to Xiliang.

Dou Wei didn't trust anyone on such an important matter. He would only feel relieved if the officials of the Dou family personally served as envoys.

Naturally, no other officials were willing to come to Xiliang, so this matter naturally fell on his head.

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves.

Turning back, he saw a man in a bright yellow dragon robe riding a horse slowly.

And there was a young man holding the reins under the horse, who was the third prince Zhao Mu.

Seeing Dou Zheng, the third prince showed joy on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cough and lowered his head.

Murong Hao looked at the envoy Dou Zheng with mockery.

He said, "I just tried the new groom, and it's true that the Dasong prince is also very good at leading horses."

The third prince was ashamed and angry when he heard this, but he was afraid that he would anger Murong Hao and not let him return to Dasong, so he just kept silent.

Dou Zheng and other officials felt their faces burning.

This was a naked humiliation for them.

Seeing that all the Dasong officials were ashamed, Murong Hao finally vented his anger.

His brother's head is still hanging at the gate of Jincheng.

If Dasong does not agree to his conditions this time.

He will also chop off the head of the third prince of Dasong and hang it at the gate of Wuwei's city wall.

Ignoring Dou Zheng and his party, he went straight into the palace.

Dou Zheng went to the hall under the guidance of the imperial guards.

At this time, the hall was full of Xiliang officials and generals.

They all looked at Dou Zheng and his party with mockery.

Not long after, Murong Hao entered the hall.

Looking at Dou Zheng, he said impatiently: "What is your emperor going to give in exchange for his son?"

"His Majesty said that he is willing to give three million taels of silver to redeem my prince." Dou Zheng said.

"Three million taels of silver, to get rid of beggars? It seems that the life of the prince of Dasong is really worthless. It is better to kill him to vent your anger." Murong Hao looked at the Xiliang generals.

"The Chanyu is right. It is better to kill him to avenge the great hatred of the leader Wuji."

"Although our Xiliang is not as rich as Dasong, we are not short of this little silver."

"You are really insincere."

"..."

The crowd became noisy, pointing at Dou Zheng and others one by one.

Dou Zheng's palms were sweating immediately. He was scolded by the fierce officials and generals of the foreign race in the court of a foreign country, and he could not remain calm.

"Eight million taels is also acceptable." Dou Zheng said the bottom price.

In recent years, the treasury of Dasong has become emptier year by year.

The national treasury was not rich, and it was not easy to take out 8 million taels of silver. Any more could only be compensated with real objects.

Murong Hao sneered. It seemed that the Emperor of Dasong only wanted to exchange the third prince for silver.

But he was not interested in the silver at all.

To make up for the losses of Xiliang in the battle of Jinzhou, we can only exchange it with things that can make Xiliang stronger.

Otherwise, the national strength is weak, and no matter how much silver there is, it will only be stored for others.

So he said: "We in Xiliang don't want silver. Go back and tell your emperor that if you want your third prince to go back, you only need to agree to one of the three conditions. First, return Jinzhou to Xiliang. Second, provide Xiliang with a thousand cannons and hand over the cannon casting technique. Third, let your King Yan come to Wuwei to lead the horse for me and exchange the third prince back."

"What!" Dou Zheng turned pale when he heard this.

An official behind Dou Zheng was furious.

Seeing that Dou Zheng had been submissive since he came to Xiliang, he could no longer bear it.

Taking a step forward, he angrily said, "I will not agree to any of these three conditions in Dasong. If Xiliang insists on not handing over the Third Prince, I will mobilize the whole country's troops to raze you Xiliang to the ground!"

"Arrogant!" Xiliang generals and officials were immediately furious.

Gu Le said angrily, "You really don't know when you are about to die. Before you Dasong sends troops, I will attack and destroy you Dasong with Beidi!"

"Fight if you want. I lost once in Jinzhou, and I won't lose again!" Other generals also shouted.

Murong Hao's face was gloomy. He pointed at the Dasong official who scolded him, "Come on, chop off his head and let them take it back to Dasong."

The official who stepped out was fearless. He said, "Xiliang Chanyu, I still have strong men in Dasong. Someone will avenge me..."

Before he finished speaking, the Xiliang guards dragged him out.

The official cursed all the way, and then the voice suddenly stopped.

Dou Zheng and other officials were trembling with fear.

He said: "Shanyu, this man has always been crazy, please forgive me, I will present Shanyu's words to my emperor."

Being an envoy to Xiliang was not a good job, so most of the people who came with him were lowly officials.

He didn't expect that this official named Shayang would suddenly do this.

Although this was what Zhao Heng had asked him to convey to the Shanyu of Xiliang.

Murong Hao was still not satisfied, "My boots are a little dirty, let my groom go to the palace and wipe them for me."

Then he said to Dou Zheng: "You guys go away, go back and tell your emperor that these three are the bottom line of my Xiliang, there is nothing to talk about, otherwise wait for his son's head to hang on the gate of Wuwei."

Dou Zheng was so scared that he was sweating. He nodded hurriedly and led the officials out of the hall.

When they walked out, they met the third prince who was escorted.

"Save me..." The third prince showed a pleading look to Dou Zheng, and was then driven into the hall by the guards.

After going up the stairs, he started to wipe Murong Hao's boots as ordered.

Murong Hao looked at the third prince of Dasong with disdain, and suddenly remembered his eldest son in Beidi.

Would his eldest son also wipe Mule Hongzhen's boots at this time?

A surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he kicked Zhao Mu hard and asked: "You said these three conditions, which one would your father agree to?"

The eunuch beside Murong Hao immediately told Zhao Mu the three conditions.

"The second one, or maybe the third one." Zhao Mu smiled flatteringly.

"Oh? Do you think you are more important than the King of Yan?" Murong Hao sneered.

"He is just a bastard, not worthy of being a prince with me, Shanyu, I hate him and I wish I could eat his meat." At this moment, Zhao Mu finally tore off the disguise of a modest gentleman.

Yes, he used to be unwilling to bully Zhao Xu with the Sixth Prince and others.

But he just disdain, just like he didn't want to pinch a fly to death.

"Hahaha..." Murong Hao laughed, "Then we'll wait and see."

He was laughing, and suddenly a guard came hurriedly.

"Khanyu, the son of the Northern Di Khan, Temuta, has arrived outside the city."

Murong Hao frowned upon hearing this, and his heart suddenly jumped.

It was not long since Xiliang captured the Dasong prince, and Temuta came here. I'm afraid there will be new orders.

So he said, "Please let him in."
