Chapter 116: Shi Lei's Promise

"This palace gave you a chance."

Shi Lei knew that this was referring to the fact that they were specially asked to write a letter to their families and sent it to the Western Chu State.

Even though he knew it, he still spoke hard.

"It may be that there is a delay on the road, and the family letter has not yet arrived in the capital of Western Chu, maybe...... Perhaps His Majesty's edict is on the way, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asked to give him a few more days. ”

"How many days?"

Zhang Junlin still asked nonchalantly.

It can be seen that he really doesn't care about this two-faced trick made by the Emperor of Western Chu.

Shi Lei suppressed the panic in his heart, trembling and stretched out three fingers.

"Three-Day ......"

"Good! Just three days! If the envoy who went to the coast of Jiazhou three days later has not returned to meet with the palace, Shi Lei, you will stay in South Vietnam for the rest of your life to mine. ”

“……”

Shi Lei and the others gasped and wanted to ask for mercy, but they didn't know where to start.

They were from the Western Chu Kingdom, and Prince Zhang was the prince of Nanyue and the future emperor of Nanyue.

Naturally, no one will be allowed to deliberately trample on his dignity.

Can it be blamed that Prince Zhang disregarded their human rights and detained them in South Vietnam as hostages?

No.

Blame, I can only blame His Majesty the Emperor for actually using such a stupid trick!

Without understanding the national conditions of South Vietnam, he rashly used the discord strategy, wanting to get rid of Prince Zhang by the hand of Monarch Zhang.

"Yes, we get it."

Shi Lei gritted his back molars and pleaded again.

"I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will see my good behavior on weekdays, and let me go to Xichu in person to greet the envoy of Xichu peace talks!"

"No!"

This time, Zhang Junlin didn't open his mouth yet, and Zhang Junyuan preemptively stopped it.

Who doesn't know that Shi Lei is the backbone of this group of captives.

How can there be a reason why the Emperor of Western Chu is making trouble in secret, but he has let the main bones of the captives return to the mountain.

Zhang Junlin naturally didn't understand this truth, he looked at Shi Lei with a smile, and asked him: "What if you don't invite the envoy of the Xichu peace talks?" ”

"I'm sure I'll be invited!"

Shi Lei is very confident.

But Zhang Junlin is not a philanthropist, and the smile on his face deepened.

"If you don't come, either you come back and be loyal to the palace from now on, or the palace will send the heads of your one hundred and seven good brothers to the capital of Western Chu."

"If you are invited, this palace will personally escort the remaining one hundred and seven Western Chu generals to the border and hand them over to you intact, what, do you dare to make this bet with this palace?"

Silent.

After a deathly silence.

Shi Lei stood up and raised his right hand.

Bang Bang Bang!

Three high-fives.

"The yellow sky is above, the thick earth is below, and everyone is in front, I, Shi Lei, am willing to abide by the agreement with His Royal Highness the Prince, if I violate the agreement, I will be called Shi Lei to die without a place to be buried!" No peace at home! The country is ruined and the city is ruined! ”

Yes.

This poisonous oath is heavy enough.

Zhang Junlin knew that the ancients had made a heavy oath, especially a figure like Shi Lei who should be regarded as a figure with a face in the Western Chu Kingdom.

He waved his hand generously.

"Go ahead."

"Someone, bring the token of the main palace, and ask Shi Gongzi to go west at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles."

"I wish Shi Gongzi a smooth journey!"

Zhang Junlin didn't care about the final outcome of this bet.

Shi Lei won, and the loss was made up for during the negotiations.

Shi Lei lost, and there was a candidate for the person who cleaned up the dog emperor.

When the time comes to negotiate with the Western Chu State, let Shi Lei go.

Earn without losing money.

It would be easier if Shi Lei broke his oath, and cut off nearly thirty percent of the new generation of generals in Western Chu within ten years, and it would not let people find out his faults.

"Brother Huang, do you really want to let him go?"

Zhang Junyuan's brain didn't turn as fast as Zhang Junlin.

But she didn't have much contact with Shi Lei, she was only worried that Shi Lei was a person who ignored the general trend of the two countries in order to protect himself.

Just like her father, he did not seek his position.

"Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, I believe in Shi Lei."

One word.

made Shi Lei, who turned over on the horse, instantly red-eyed.

Even Prince Zhang believed his words.

Why.

Your Majesty didn't believe it?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are waiting for my news!"

"Okay."

Zhang Jun watched Shi Lei and the guards leave, and turned his head to look at Sun Gengyu and the others with apprehensive eyes.

Scared?

It's late.

"The monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, as long as the Emperor of Western Chu does not kill Shi Lei, his life will be saved, as for your life...... I can only hope that you are lucky, and your Emperor Majesty will not do too much. ”

The two countries are at war, and they must fight to the death.

Endless schemes like this are naturally also schemes, and they must kill the other party.

Although Sun Gengyu did not want to suspect that they were insignificant in His Majesty the Emperor's heart, and he had just misjudged the situation, His Majesty the Emperor's reckless actions still made him feel cold.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you going to do with us?"

"Didn't the palace say just now, you go to the mine to dig stone mills first, and the rest of the captives naturally go to the mountains to open up wasteland, water the land, cut grass, raise pigs, chickens and ducks."

Facing Sun Gengyu's skeptical eyes, Zhang Junlin also glared forcefully.

"Why, in your eyes, is this palace the kind of person who kills people without blinking?"

Be.

Sun Gengyu thought of His Royal Highness the Prince's usual style, and nodded subconsciously.

But when he realized that this answer was suspected of seeking death, he quickly shook his head.

Regardless of whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this because of a lack of labor, he was reluctant to kill them.

In a word.

Save your life first, and wait for Shi Gongzi to bring back good news.

"Hold on!"

When even if someone comes.

"Your Highness, slow down."

Su Chanyi stepped forward and took out a palm-sized medicine bottle from her sleeve.

Zhang Junlin looked at Miss Su with a puzzled expression, and said in his heart: She won't be kind enough to feed medicine to these captives who are burdened by their daily hard work to improve their combat effectiveness, right?

"What advice does Miss Su have?"

"I don't dare to advise, I only know how to see a doctor and dispense medicine, this medicine is called a loss pill, and the strength in the dantian can only be used by one or two percent after eating, which is suitable for the generals of Western Chu to use when they are doing coolies."

Going to the mine to work as a coolie can't always let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince watch.

She is still waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come back and pull out the poison.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be allowed to waste his precious time on this group of captives.

“……”

Only then did Zhang Junlin know that he had misunderstood Miss Su.

He took the pill and shook it.

"One pill per person is enough for ten days."

"It's easy and hassle-free, I like it."

Zhang Junlin did not hesitate to praise himself.

As soon as these words came out, Su Chanyi's tense little face relaxed.

She was also worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would think she was meddling and that she was a vicious woman.

Now it seems that her worries are unfounded.

"Sun Gengyu, do you want to eat it now or take it back to eat?"

Zhang Junlin looked at the generals in the crowd who deliberately avoided his gaze without smiling.

He understood the minds of these people, but he was worried that if he took this medicine, he might lose all his martial arts.

But.

He didn't intend to make any guarantees or ask Miss Su to give any explanation.

What about side effects?

If you dare not eat, then you are not an obedient captive.

The disobedient captives are like the black sheep, and they can't be kept!
