Chapter 350: Offer (2)

When Gu Xieqin and Cui Genghai were arguing, Xu Xiang suddenly said, "That’s enough. Let’s stop wasting everyone’s time. Tell us what conditions you can offer, and we will let you know our decision."

As soon as she said this, the silent Sha Luozan finally spoke.

"My Bei Wei Empire is the strongest empire on this continent. If you choose to become our vassal, Rui Wang promises to give you regional autonomy. As long as you pay the taxes stipulated by the laws of the Bei Wei Empire, under the protection of Rui Wang, you can do whatever you want." He said with an expressionless face.

After hearing the proposal, Xu Xiang thought for a while, then looked at Sha Luozan and said, "General Sha, your proposal is good, but unfortunately we cannot accept it."

After being rejected by her, Sha Luozan nodded and asked calmly: "May I ask why Miss Xu rejected our proposal?"

Xu Xiang didn’t speak, and glanced at A Lu Zhi. A Lu Zhi then smiled at Sha Luozan and said, "The one who is most likely to become the next emperor of the Bei Wei Empire is the Seventh Prince, Zheng Yi Wang. If we accept your proposal, when Zheng Yi Wang becomes the emperor of the Bei Wei Empire, wouldn’t he kill us together with Rui Wang? We are not that stupid to jump into this fire pit."

After A Lu Zhi finished speaking, Sha Luozan looked at him with a slight frown. It never occurred to him that these people who looked like poor hunters wearing animal skin clothes would know this kind of information.

Seeing that Sha Luozan stopped asking questions, Xu Xiang looked at Gu Xieqin, smiled slightly at him and said, "I wonder what is Cong Wang’s offer for us."

After hearing the offer from the Bei Wei Empire, Gu Xieqin had no confidence in winning. After his father emperor learned about what Xu Xiang had done in their kingdom, his father emperor sent him to find her. As for him arriving together with Sha Luozan and Cui Genghai, it was just a coincidence.

If he followed his father emperor’s plan, he was sure that Xu Xiang, Ha Tai and the elders would reject their offer. Since he can only return successfully, then he must change his plans. As the old saying goes, extreme situations call for extreme measures. If his father emperor blames him in the future, then he will just accept the punishment.

Gu Xieqin thought for a while, then smiled at Xu Xiang and said, "If Miss Xu, Chieftain Ha Tai and the elders decide to join my Qin Kingdom, then you don’t need to pay any taxes and you don’t need to fulfill the obligations as the citizens of Qin Kingdom."

Hearing this, Xu Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "If the Qin Kingdom doesn’t want anything from us, why does Your Highness come to our village and want our village to become part of the Qin Kingdom?"

When she asked this sentence, Gu Xieqin felt the heavy pressure coming from A Lu Zhi. He was surprised that a fourteen-year-old boy could give him more pressure than those experienced generals. A few seconds later, A Lu Zhi withdrew his killing intent.

Although his back was soaked in cold sweat, Gu Xieqin still had a smile on his face. The only thing that could reveal his true condition was the tightly clenched hands under his sleeves.

After adjusting his mentality and breathing, Gu Xieqin said calmly: "As Miss Xu said, there is indeed something that we want."

"What is that?" Xu Xiang asked.

He glanced at Sha Luozan and Cui Genghai, then asked, "Is it alright for me to say it here?"

Xu Xiang thought for a while, stood up, and said, "Your Highness, please follow me."

"Miss Xu, please lead the way." Gu Xieqin stood up and said politely.

Seeing the two of them walking towards a meeting room and closing the door, Cui Genghai sneered and disdainfully said, "In the closed room, a single man and woman were talking alone. What can they talk about? Could it be, they are not talking but exercising? Ha ha ha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his laugh stopped abruptly because more than a dozen swords were placed around his neck. Cui Genghai was so frightened that he couldn’t speak as A Lu Zhi’s sword slowly cut deeper and deeper.

A Xiuluo warrior looked at him and said coldly: "If you dare to say such a thing again, I will cut off your tongue."

The next second, a pungent smell suddenly came from Cui Genghai’s body. Seeing him urinating on himself, A Lu Zhi felt disgusted and took a few steps back, distancing himself from Cui Genghai, who already fainted.

Seeing Cui Genghai fainted from fright, Ha Tai calmly said, "Stand back."

Following his order, A Lu Zhi and the Xiuluo warriors sheathed their swords one after another, and returned to their positions. As for Sha Luozan, he looked at A Lu Zhi and the Xiuluo warriors thoughtfully. As a general and martial arts master, he actually didn’t know when they drew their swords. Seeing their strength, he fell into deep thought.

Inside the meeting room, Xu Xiang and Gu Xieqin didn’t know what had happened outside. After the two of them sat around the small stove in the center of the meeting room, Xu Xiang said, "There are only two of us here. Your Highness can speak freely."

Gu Xieqin nodded, and then took out a small yellow scroll from his sleeve. He put the secret decree in front of Xu Xiang and said, "This is the secret decree my father emperor issued before this prince left the Qin Kingdom."

Xu Xiang picked up the secret decree and read it. A few seconds later, she put down the secret decree and said, "It is impossible for me to give you the knowledge you want. If agricultural knowledge is what Your Highness wants, then we can still talk about it. But since what the Qin Kingdom wants is military and weapons technology, I’m sorry I can’t give it to Your Highness."
