The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Chapter 722 You're really stubborn.

It is likely that Xiao Dilraba was influenced by Heila Sunazha, as she has always longed for the Central Plains.

She not only liked novelties from the Central Plains, but even her future husband preferred people from the Central Plains.

She had actually seen Jia Daoshi's portrait long ago; it was the type she liked—sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, very handsome.

That's why she told Chu Luen that after they conquered Youzhou County, they would capture Jia Daoshi and make him their slave!

Unexpectedly, the real person is even more beautiful than the portrait!

And the roles of slave and master seem to have been reversed...

If the other party wants to exchange themselves for their uncle, that's not impossible.

"Oh dear! Xiao Reba! What are you thinking?!"

Soon, Xiao Reba realized that her thoughts were starting to go astray.

at this time.

Xiao Reba suddenly heard some of her clansmen around her causing a commotion.

Xiao Reba snapped out of her daze and realized that a rider had appeared beside Jia Daoshi.

The figure on horseback was extremely imposing; who else could it be but Chu Luen?

However, Chu Luen at this moment no longer had the high spirits he had before; he only looked dejected.

"Prince Chu!"

"That's Prince Chu! Prince Chu is still alive!"

"Uncle!"

Upon seeing Chu Luen, Xiao Reba was immediately overjoyed. After letting out a cry of surprise, she prepared to run over.

"Dilraba!"

Hailasuna grabbed Xiao Reba's hand and shook her head at her with a serious expression.

Now it's time for negotiations between the two sides. Jia Daoshi brought Chu Luen here, certainly not out of kindness to return the person to them.

Instead, they directly used Chuluen as a bargaining chip.

So even if you went there at that time, you wouldn't be able to talk to Chu Luen.

Soon, Jia Daoshi dismounted and walked ten steps in front of Hailasuna, laughing, "I've long heard that the Queen of the Wolf Tribe is the most dazzling pearl on the grassland. Any man who sees her will lose his soul at first glance. I thought it was just a rumor before, but seeing her today, I realize I was wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Hela Sunazha smiled and said, "Jatis is too kind. Please, Jatis, take a seat."

Jia Daoshi walked to the animal skin at Hailasu Naza's feet and sat down on the ground.

"Jatis, you must already know the conditions we proposed. What do you think of them?" Hela Sunaza asked directly, getting straight to the point.

Jia Daoshi smiled and said, “Fifty thousand cattle, fifty thousand sheep, and one hundred thousand horses—if you wanted to exchange them for your own people last year, it would have been more than enough.”

"But things are different now."

When Jia Daoshi changed his tone, Haila Sunazha knew things were not going well.

However, her face remained calm.

The most basic requirement for negotiation is that you can't lose the momentum!

Jia Daoshi looked at Haila Suna: "Your Highness, think about it. If I agree to release them, wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountains? What if you recover and then gather an army of 500,000 to march south?"

Helasu Naza shook her head and said, "If that's what Jatis is worried about, then there's no need for that. We can swear a blood oath and never invade each other!"

Jia Daoshi laughed: "A blood oath? That sounds solemn, but the Kushan Empire has made many blood oaths with the Central Plains, hasn't it? In the end, all those alliances became nothing but empty words."

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't trust you."

“But your Kushan Empire has too many tribes. You cannot represent the Kushan Empire. Even while you are here, you cannot guarantee that the Kushan Empire will not invade the south. What if one day you are gone?”

Jia Daoshi's words finally caused Haila Sunazha's expression to change.

Jia Daoshi was absolutely right.

Historically, the Kushan Empire would form blood alliances with several neighboring dynasties almost every so often.

But these alliances are useless; when the time comes to break them, they will still break them.

Moreover, it was almost always their Kushan Empire that turned its back on them first.

In terms of credit, the Kushan Empire had virtually none.

Therefore, it was understandable that Jia Daoshi did not agree.

Hela Sunaza hesitated for a moment: "Jatis, what conditions would it take to release them? Just tell me directly."

"If we can do it, we will definitely agree."

"However, I must also say something to Jatis. Our Kushan Empire has continued on the steppe for thousands of years and will not be completely wiped out because of a battle at the cliff city."

"As long as we swear an oath of blood, I believe we can achieve mutual benefit."

Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but laugh, and finally said, "Your Highness, you should know the situation of your tribe better than I do."

"The Kushan Empire may not disappear, but your tribe will certainly not survive this winter."

"Otherwise, the princess wouldn't be in such a hurry to ask me for the person, would she?"

"If Bentis remembers correctly, there is also a King of Jingjue on the grasslands, isn't there?"

"This time, you have suffered such heavy losses. Who can guarantee that the King of Jingjue won't take advantage of the situation and rise up?"

"Don't all the tribes on the grasslands hope to unify the entire grassland?"

As soon as Jia Daoshi finished speaking, Haila Sunazha's hands clenched into fists, and her body began to tremble slightly.

She had already thought of this, but she didn't know how to deal with it.

Now, Jia Daoshi has directly reopened her wounds, which has made her somewhat flustered.

But she knew she couldn't panic!

She needs to make herself look strong now!

"Jatis, you underestimate our tribe. Although we suffered heavy losses this time, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. We can still handle a mere Jingjue King! Besides, we still have the Yuansheng Path!"

Jia Daoshi shrugged: "Your Highness, you're really stubborn. Let me be frank, I know exactly what kind of situation your tribe is!"

“I even have your letters with someone in Dajing Kyoto!”

Jia Daoshi's words made Haila Sunazha's face turn completely white in an instant!

Not only Helasu Nazha, but even the elders' expressions changed!

This time, they will gather an army of 500,000 to march south, which is the result of long-term and meticulous preparation!

One of the preconditions was a deal they made with a prince of the Great Jing Dynasty!

This is a top secret; apart from a handful of high-ranking officials in the Kushan Empire, no one else knows about it!

Could it be that Chu Luen couldn't withstand the torture and confessed?

If that's the case, how can we negotiate terms?

Jia Daoshi already knows everything about our side, so it's not a good time to negotiate!

After a moment of silence, Hela Sunaza took a deep breath and said, "So it seems that Jatis lured us here this time to wipe us all out?"
