Chapter 1088 -1082: Repayment
Shen Kunyang waved his hand, and two Zhou soldiers immediately stepped forward to hold Li Zhijie…
Knowing he might not survive, Li Zhijie wasn’t too afraid. But if he couldn’t accomplish his mission and cause Tianfeng Kingdom and Zhou to fight, he would have failed Xiliang!
Li Zhijie’s eyes turned red as he tried to break free from the Zhou soldiers, shouting, “Is His Majesty truly so afraid of Tianfeng Kingdom?”
“Bai Qingyan, as long as you obediently hand over Li Zhijie, I’ll return these useless Bai family guards to you…” Li Tianfu sneered coldly, “Otherwise, the Elephant Army of Tianfeng Kingdom will surely flatten your Pingyang City!”
“Li Zhijie, your provocation… is not as clever as Li Tianfu’s!” Bai Qingyan’s eyes were clear and cold.
The general of Tianfeng Kingdom, upon hearing Li Tianfu dragging Tianfeng Kingdom into the matter, felt uncomfortable, his lips tightly pressed as the sense of impending danger grew stronger.
He didn’t want to let Li Tianfu use the flag of Tianfeng Kingdom to flaunt his power, so he raised his voice: “Your Majesty, Tianfeng Kingdom has no intention of starting a war with Zhou. As long as Zhou is willing to hand over the traitors of Xiliang, our Tianfeng Kingdom will not make things difficult for Zhou. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!”
Listening to this general of Tianfeng Kingdom, whose speech in the universal refined language was still somewhat clumsy, Liu Rushi clenched his jaw, growing more aware of Tianfeng Kingdom’s ambitions. Since the Four-Nation Alliance, Liu Rushi had been surprised at how the Monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom spoke the refined language so well, considering he’d investigated… Tianfeng Kingdom’s language differed from theirs.
And now, even the generals of Tianfeng Kingdom could speak the refined language, albeit imperfectly. It revealed Tianfeng Kingdom’s ambitions for these lands. Otherwise… why would even the generals need to learn the refined language?
Soon, Shen Kunyang escorted Li Zhijie down from the city wall.
The gates of Pingyang City opened slowly, Li Tianfu’s eyes were dark and unwilling. Her original purpose today wasn’t just to capture Li Zhijie, but more importantly to provoke a war between Tianfeng Kingdom and Zhou!
Shen Kunyang instructed the soldiers behind him, “Go bring our men back!”
Seeing Zhou soldiers coming over, supporting and escorting the Bai family guards back, Shen Kunyang also pushed Li Zhijie towards the camps of Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom.
The soldiers of Xiliang tied up Li Zhijie and escorted him back…
Li Tianfu was about to speak when the general of Tianfeng Kingdom said, “Today is not suitable for battle! I have received an oracle from the God, so I advise the Empress of Xiliang to behave…”
“Zhou doesn’t dare engage in war with Tianfeng Kingdom. Doesn’t that show Zhou fears Tianfeng Kingdom? Just thirty war elephants already frighten them. What is Tianfeng Kingdom worried about?”
Li Tianfu glanced at that general of Tianfeng Kingdom, leaning on the armrest of the soft couch, covering her legs with a blanket.
She then disdainfully looked at Bai Qingyan and said, “Unexpectedly… the Bai family, known for their strong resolve, once had Vice Commander Bai Qishan who personally shot and killed Bai family’s five sons to stabilize military morale and uphold Jin Kingdom’s dignity. Yet, the dignity of Zhou… in the eyes of the Empress of Zhou, is surprisingly less important than a few Bai family guards. The Bai family truly has no successors!”
Bai Qingyan stared directly at Li Tianfu, responding: “Indeed, in my heart… in the hearts of everyone in Zhou, dignity is never more important than the lives of our brave and loyal soldiers!”
