“What did you say? General Yan is still alive?” Shangguan Yu looked at the disheveled Lord Xu and asked.

The news of Yan Guangmao’s accident was brought back by a secret guard at the risk of his life. After giving the secret guard instructions, he stopped breathing. Shangguan Yu and everyone thought that Yan Guangmao was already dead.

Lord Xu said with a trembling voice, “It’s absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. General Yan isn’t dead yet. He’s still alive.”

Originally, he had already left the Great Xia army’s camp. Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped again. Then, he saw Yan Guangmao, who was on his last breath.

Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes. “They want to exchange General Yan for the

Empress Dowager of Great Xia?”

Everyone in the Wu Kingdom knew that Yan Guangmao had single-handedly supported him to the throne, but Song Jingchen knew his relationship with Yan Guangmao very well. He knew that he wouldn’t ignore his adoptive father’s life, just like how he knew that Song Jingchen wouldn’t ignore Song Li.

“No, no. He said that he can agree to Your Majesty’s conditions and let General Yan go, but he has to use General to exchange for the opportunity to see the empress dowager of Great Xia and ensure her safety. He also…” In the cold winter, Lord Xu broke out in a sweat. “Your Majesty even has to personally appear and promise in front of everyone in the world that you will immediately let the empress dowager of Great Xia go after he retreats with his army. If Your Majesty doesn’t agree, not only will he not retreat, but he will also let General

Yan and our Wu Kingdom die with the empress dowager of Great Xia.”

I can retreat, but you have to show some sincerity. Otherwise, how can you make me believe that you’ll keep your promise and let the empress dowager go after I retreat? That was the meaning behind this bargain.

Actually, Lord Xu was still at a loss. At first, Song Jingchen didn’t believe that the empress dowager of Great Xia was in their hands, but why did he change his mind not long after he left?

How could he have known that One Dot and the others had arrived with Shangguan Han’s secret decree at the Great Xia army’s camp?

Killing intent flashed across Shangguan Yu’s eyes. Song Li was his last bargaining chip. Before the Great Xia army retreated from the Wu Kingdom’s territory, he would definitely not let him go.

Song Jingchen had guessed that after knowing that his adoptive father was in his hands, he would ask for an additional request to let him go.

Instead of letting him mention it, it was better to take the initiative to say it. He could even make some harmless requests in the eyes of others.

Was it really harmless?

This step was none other than to see who was more ruthless.

After not hearing the person in charge speak for a long time, Lord Xu raised his head carefully. “Your Majesty…”

“Tell him to retreat 50 kilometers. Three days later, I’ll personally bring the Empress Dowager of Great Xia to the city gate.”

Lord Xu could only run to the Great Xia army’s camp outside the city on tenterhooks again. The news he brought back was that Song Jingchen had agreed.

He had been running back and forth for a day, and the minister quickly heard that Yan Guangmao was still alive.

The ministers in the imperial court were divided into two factions. One of them thought that this was Song Jingchen’s scheme. It was too risky for the emperor of a country to appear, so he suggested holding the empress dowager of Great Xia hostage and moving the capital.

The other faction felt that Yan Guangmao had contributed a lot to the Wu Kingdom and had worked hard. They had no choice but to save him. Moreover, as long as the empress dowager of Great Xia was in their hands, the Great Xia army would hesitate to attack. There was no need to move to the capital at all.

As for the Xuanyuan Kingdom, they were allies with Great Xia. If Great Xia retreated now, it would be equivalent to betrayal. At that time, it would be a light punishment if Great Xia and the Xuanyuan Kingdom did not become enemies.

In short, the two factions had their own opinions. For a moment, the imperial study was in a heated argument.

After sending them away, Shangguan Yu leaned back on his throne tiredly.

“Your Majesty, you can’t go.”

With this female voice, the door of the imperial study was pushed open again and a graceful woman walked in.

Shangguan Yu stopped looking tired. “I’ve already made up my mind. You don’t have to persuade me anymore.”

“What if that’s a dead end?” Ji Yunxi asked with a frown.

Shangguan Yu paused and looked up at him. He said in a low voice, “He’s my adoptive father.”

Moreover, there were some things that had to be concluded.

Ji Yunxi clenched her fists. “If Your Majesty insists, I won’t be able to accompany you on the rest of the journey.”

She turned to leave.

Although she didn’t want to admit it, she really couldn’t help much in the current situation.

Moreover, she still had to avenge her parents. She could not let herself fall into this trap even though she knew that it was a dead end. She had to live and wait for the next opportunity to attack.

“Thank you very much.”

Shangguan Yu’s voice came from behind.

Ji Yunxi stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the handsome man in the high seat. “If the person who was captured was Yunxi, would Your Majesty risk your life to save me?”

Shangguan Yu pursed his lips and said, “At midnight tonight, I’ll send someone to send vou out of the citv..”
