Chapter 1698: This Man Has Great Ambition >

'That's how things are in Weihaiwei. Neighboring Leizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture don't have so many taxes and levies. Those with ability all went to those places. Only those of us who have...Chapter 1698: This Man Has Great Talent

At these words, the Qin soldiers were all fired up and clamoring to stay behind and fight alongside Su Pingbei to the death. They swore they would never be cowardly or act for their own survival.

"Be quiet!"

Su Pingbei let out a sharp shout, silencing their noisy chatter.

"Remember what you said before we left No matter what happens, military orders are absolute. Every one of you must unconditionally obey my orders. I make the decisions, and there's no need for any of you to question them. Just follow orders! Now get out!"

Su Pingbei's words made the soldiers one by one excitedly flushed.

"Haha."

Xiao Sheng let out a hearty laugh and said, “You're being overly clever. What makes you think I would agree to your terms”

"Just him."

Su Pingbei pressed his war knife against Zhao Tailei's neck, saying with confidence: "He is the son-in-law of the Guza tribe, and his wife is the chief of the Guza tribe, Guzai Yiluo. If he dies here because of you, the Guza tribe will definitely come after you."

"Haha."

Xiao Sheng laughed even louder.

"You misunderstand our Liao nation too much. You should go and investigate. The Guza tribe is nothing but the most lowly slave tribe of the Liao nation. What's more, he is a Han Chinese, a son-in-law. If he dies, so be it. Don't even say that the Guza tribe can't do anything, even if they could, would they dare"

Now, Zhao Tailei has completely understood Su Pingbei's plan.

To seize the situation, he first had to clear himself and them of any suspicion of treason.

Then, he used his own life as a bargaining chip to secure the lives of the soldiers behind him.

Regardless of whether either of these plans comes to fruition, as long as one is successful, it will be a win.

And in both of these plans, Su Pingbei never considered his own life or death.

After he understood, Zhao Tailai knew how to cooperate with Su Pingbei.

"Here comes Xiao Sheng!"

Zhao Tailai shouted, "You can't let him kill me. Once he kills me, the Guzha tribe will definitely demand justice. Yes, the Guzha tribe is lowly, but now the prince has no one to use and lacks soldiers to fight. At this crucial moment, do you think the prince will first appease the Guzha tribe or reward you"

"Even the Guza tribe, if they falter, are still a tribe. Thousands of warriors, all the bravest vanguard on the battlefield. If their morale breaks, it would have a huge impact on the front lines. A slight misstep, can you bear that responsibility"

"Even if you could bear it, the Crown Prince wouldn't take this risk."

Zhao Tailai's words gradually darkened Xiao Shenghe's face.

Compared to him, the Guza tribe is obviously more important.

At this point, Zhao Tailai took advantage of the situation and pressed on: "General Xiao, to put it plainly, what do you intend to do with these hundreds of people Even if the Prince has leisure time, he doesn't have time to deal with each of these individuals. As long as you bring back their leader, you will have accomplished a great feat!"

This sentence made Xiao Shenghe raise an eyebrow.

And at that moment, not far away, a group of people were silently observing the changing situation.

"Chieftain, it seems the two of them have persuaded Xiao Shenghe."

Gu Zaiyilo's valiant sword brows were tightly knit as he stared at Xiao Shenghe, saying, "Not necessarily."

The people around him were slightly startled, and then they heard Guzailov continue, "Xiao Sheng is not well-known, although he is a general commanding thousands of troops, few people know him. But in my early years, I had contact with him, this person…has great talent."department while the other is a local government.Local officials may not always take the Ministry of Finance's orders seriously.If anyone else tries to stir up trouble, things will be even more compli...
