This cunning general of Beiyan flashed with cunning in his eyes.

I don't know what kind of ghost idea he came up with, Jiang Chen can only pretend to be calm now, once he shows timidity on his face, he will be completely seen through by Xiao Tong.

After being forced by Xiao Tong to move out of Shen Xueying as a shield, Jiang Chen didn't know how long his lie could last.

He just said that he didn't care about the life or death of these prisoners of war, of course, he deliberately said it to Xiao Tong, only if the enemy lost interest in these prisoners of war and no longer valued them so much, then the chance of these people being rescued could be greater.

All in all, with the current situation of the prisoners of war, death would come to them at any time, and all Jiang Chen could do was to fight for the last ray of hope.

As a soldier, I believe that they are ready to sacrifice their lives for the country, which is the glory of the brave.

Xiao Tong ordered someone to move out of the table, took pen and paper, and he wrote a letter on the spot, the content of which Jiang Chen still did not know, but this was definitely another severe test for him.

After Xiao Tong struck his handprint at the place where the letter was registered, several Beiyan soldiers carried a large basket of naan and placed it in front of Jiang Chen.

These steaming naan cakes have just been baked, and while they are not delicious, they are rare and valuable food on the battlefield.

Jiang Chen didn't understand what Xiao Tong was going to do, so he asked, "What the hell are you trying to do, I'm still in a hurry to go back." ”

Xiao Tong held the letter he had just written in one hand and a naan cake in the other, and what he said next was the most insidious temptation of Jiang Chen.

"Look at it, this letter to the Emperor Daqian on my left hand mentions that Beiyan is willing to exempt Daqian from the indemnity of 1 million taels of gold to show the sincerity of the peace talks, and I hope that the Daqian court can judge the situation and meet our eighteen negotiation requirements as soon as possible."

"And on my right, as you can see, is a freshly made naan, which is so fragrant that it makes people drool, and I am very hungry."

As he spoke, Xiao Tong opened his mouth and took a bite to express the deliciousness of the naan.

Jiang Chen could almost guess what the hell Xiao Tong was doing, he quickly calculated the countermeasures in his heart, and his next decision would undoubtedly directly affect the life and death of many people.

"Jiang Chen, I will give you the opportunity to choose, do you want to ask Emperor Daqian for credit with this handwritten letter, or do you want this basket of naan to save these prisoners of war who are about to starve to death?"

The corners of Xiao Tong's mouth rose, his eyes showed a fierce light, his hand directly forced Jiang Chen to the edge of the cliff, no matter which choice he made, it was as difficult for him as stepping through a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.

"You just said that you don't care about the lives of these prisoners of war, so I think you must like this letter that can spare a million taels of gold, right?"

Under Xiao Tong's aggressive questioning, Jiang Chen's face did not show any emotional fluctuations, he was always calm and calm, just like at the beginning.

It was still the look that made Xiao Tong very unhappy, as if everything was under his control, and no matter what happened in front of him, it didn't seem to be worth his fuss.

Jiang Chen was so calm and calm that Xiao Tong began to have self-doubts, "Could it be that he has a way to solve such a thorny problem?" ”

"What are you kidding, of course I chose this basket of naan."

Xiao Tong thought that Jiang Chen should at least think about it carefully, but he didn't expect this guy to make a choice almost without thinking, and this choice seemed extremely hasty.

"Then you admit that the previous nonsense was deliberately pretended?" Xiao Tong continued to verbally threaten, just to make Jiang Chen confess this.

"You want to kill me, but I won't be fooled, everyone in the world knows that those reckless men in Qishan are very good, they regard their comrades-in-arms as brothers, if anyone becomes their enemy, there will never be a good end."

"If I choose this broken letter today and give up these Qishan prisoners of war who will die sooner or later, then it is conceivable that what will happen after I go back will definitely be killed by those angry madmen, and I don't dislike my own life!"

Jiang Chen grabbed some naan cakes and threw them directly into the depression without saying a word.

Who knew that these Qishan prisoners of war were determined to die and refused to accept the alms of the Northern Yan people, for them, the truly brave and fearless soldiers, facing life and death was not such a terrible thing.

If they are humiliated and let go of their self-esteem, they will feel the pain of their skin!

"Looks like they don't take your favor."

Xiao Tong was talking cool on the side, Jiang Chen didn't pay attention to him, what these prisoners of war were thinking, he knew very well, and he was also moved by such iron-clad courage.

But if he wants to find a way to rescue these people, he must first let them eat and replenish their strength, so that people can only have a chance to take revenge if they are alive.

So, Jiang Chen suddenly proposed to Xiao Tong: "Last time in Jinyang City, you lost to me once, do you dare to bet with me now?" ”

Xiao Tong stared at Jiang Chen with interest, he felt very ridiculous, now it was him who took advantage of the time, place and people, why did Jiang Chen, who was not well known, say such presumptuous words in front of him!

"Jiang Chen, you'd better find out your identity, my dignified General Beiyan can take you seriously, even if he looks up to you, now you still want to challenge me, who do you think you are?"

"I'm nobody, but I won you once, didn't I?" Jiang Chen unceremoniously poked Xiao Tong's soft underbelly.

Yes, the dignified General Beiyan was actually tricked by a nobody, and in front of those people in Jinyang City, he wanted to tear up his military flag on the spot, isn't this a shame?

Xiao Tong thought in his heart: I did everything possible to make Jiang Chen a great envoy and come here, isn't it just to be ashamed?

There is no reason to refuse his request to gamble again, otherwise wouldn't it seem that he was afraid of him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tong immediately said that no matter what Jiang Chen wanted to gamble on now, he would accompany him to the end.

"Last time it was just a fluke, I won't let you succeed again, let's say, what are you going to bet with me?"

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and replied, "Bet their lives!" ”

"Give them food and drink, I will take them all the way north to escape from Qiwu Mountain, after the sun sets, you can lead the army to chase and kill, as long as you catch up, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect!"

"But if you don't have the ability to catch up, then I'll have to escape with them!"

The generals around Xiao Tong listened to Jiang Chen's words and immediately said that this was a lame excuse, Jiang Chen's purpose was to save these people from leaving, how could they be fooled.

"Shut up!" Xiao Tong shouted, suppressing the noisy discussion.

"As funny as it sounds, I accept the challenge!"
