In the end, Tang Guixi still accepted Xiao Ti's proposal.

She wrote a letter by hand, then tied the letter to the arrow and shot it in the open space in front of the earthen wall.

Seeing this, the Chen army scout, who had been hiding nearby to watch, immediately ran over with his shield, bent down to pick up the arrow, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

The arrow was handed over to the commander of the Chen army intact.

He unfolded the letter paper and saw that it was full of wild goose characters, and he could only barely recognize a few common words, and even if he guessed it, he couldn't understand the meaning of the whole text.

He could only ask someone to call a staff member who knew the wild goose script.

The staff quickly read the content in their hearts, and then translated the content into Chen Mandarin and told the marshal.

"This letter was written by Tang Guixi, she said that she has fifty Chen Kingdom captives in her hands, and she wants to make a deal with us and exchange prisoners for prisoners."

Marshal Chenjun put his hands behind his back, took two steps back and forth, and quickly made a decision.

"Let people tell the ladies surnamed Tang that Ben Shuai accepts the deal."

The staff frowned: "This is probably a trap......

Marshal Chenjun raised his hand and interrupted him.

"Listen to me first."

The staff obediently shut their mouths.

"I can exchange captives with them, but to prove that they are not cheating, they must have King Min bring the captives to trade with us."

The staff immediately understood what he meant.

"Are you trying to catch King Min?"

The marshal of the Chen army said unhurriedly.

"King Min is the cousin of Emperor Dayan, and his status is noble.

If we can catch him, we can use him to ask for benefits from Emperor Dayan in the future.

No matter what the relationship between Emperor Dayan and King Min is,

As long as Emperor Dayan still has face, it is impossible to ignore the life and death of King Min.

In this way, go back and wait for our class teacher to return to the court,

If the emperor asks us why we have been delayed here in Hengcheng for so long, we can also have an explanation."

The staff praised: "It's still the marshal's thoughtfulness."

At the same time, all the prisoners of the Chen Army were brought to Xiao Ti.

There were three of them in all, and they had been doing the dirtiest and most tiring work in the barracks for most of the past six months, and they were half tired to death every day, and the food they received could barely survive without starvation.

At this time, they were hunched up, their eyes numb, their faces were sallow, their clothes were tattered, and they still emitted a foul smell on their bodies.

Xiao Ti asked people to bring a plate of white-flour steamed buns and put it in front of them.

"Eat."

The moment the three of them saw the white-flour steamed buns, their eyes lit up in unison.

They first looked at Xiao Ti and made sure that the other party was not joking with themselves, before they pounced on it, grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into their mouths.

When they had almost eaten, Xiao Ti said to them in Chenguo.

"I'll send you back later."

Seeing that they didn't react, Xiao Ti deliberately added: "It's to send you back to the *** camp."

All three of them had stunned expressions on their faces.

How is this possible?

Xiao Ti continued, "But you have to think clearly, we took the initiative to return you back safe and sound, what will your handsome man think? You told him that you had only done some rough work in our Eastern Expeditionary Army for most of the past six months, and you didn't suffer anything else, and then we put you back, will your commander believe it?"

All three were speechless.

Although they were very tired in the camp of the Crusade Army, the Crusade Army did not deliberately abuse them.

They had no other scars on their bodies other than those from accidental bumps while working.

How can they explain that they went back like this?

One of them asked boldly.

"Can I not go back?"

It's hard work to stay here, but at least it's okay

Be alive.

If they are sent back to the Chen *** camp without explanation, what awaits them is likely to be all kinds of suspicion and torture, and the final outcome will definitely not be too good.

Xiao Ti looked at their anxious appearance, and continued to follow the temptation.

"You can stay if you want, but you have to do what I say, and I will give you a task later, as long as you can complete the task, you can not only continue to live in Hengcheng in the future, but also get rid of your status as a military slave and become a serious Hengcheng person. I heard that the land of your Chen Kingdom is barren and it is difficult for crops to survive, so you will gather a large army to invade our Liaodong County. How did you live in Tatsukoku before? Can you eat such white-flour steamed buns every day?"

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

It was because they didn't have enough to eat that they had to enlist in the army.

But if life at home is better, they will not risk their lives to become soldiers.

Xiao Ti gently tapped the plate used for steamed buns: "As long as we Hengcheng people can get a share of the land, and when the time comes, you will do the same, two acres of land per person, cultivate well, and ensure that you can also eat white flour steamed buns every day in the coming year, how about it?"

The three of them looked at each other, and the residual fragrance of steamed buns in their mouths had not yet dissipated.

They both saw longing in each other's eyes.

The temptation to be able to eat and drink enough every day is too great.

The next moment they were on their knees.

"It's an honor to serve you!"

Next, Xiao Ti began to explain the specific details of the entire operation to them.

On the other side, Tang Guixi received a reply from the commander of the Chen army, who said that he was willing to accept the deal, but he had to let King Min come forward to carry out the deal, otherwise they would not be able to believe the sincerity of the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

Tang Guixi instructed the deputy general beside him.

"Hurry to King Min and give him this letter."

The lieutenant general took the letter and hesitated, "Will King Min be willing to help?"

In this regard, Tang Guixi was not sure in his heart.

Those prisoners of the Crusade Army are their robes, and they must be saved, but King Min is not a member of the Crusade Army, and this matter has nothing to do with him, so he has no need to risk his life at all.

Besides, King Min is not the kind of good person who would sacrifice himself for others.

Tang Guixi can only do his best to obey the fate of heaven now.

The adjutant left in a hurry with the letter.

It didn't take long for him to return.

And he also brought back a man.

This person is not King Min, but the son of Shen Xu.

Tang Guixi was obviously stunned when he saw Shen Xu.

"Why are you here? Where's your father?"

Shen Xu raised his head and said, "My father is too old to do such a dangerous thing, so I came here for him."

Tang Guixi frowned: "Nonsense!"

Shen Xu argued loudly.

"I'm not messing around, I know you want to save people, I can help you.

What they want is King Min, and I, as the prince of King Min's mansion, will be the future King Min.

I could have come in for my dad to make a deal."

Tang Guixi said in a deep voice, "Do you know how dangerous this matter is?"

Shen Xu stiffened his neck and said, "I know!"

Tang Guixi: "Then aren't you afraid?"

Shen Xu: "Don't be afraid!"

"Since you're not afraid, what are you shaking?"

"I'm not shaking!"

Tang Guixi looked at his trembling legs, which was really angry and funny.
