C198 Solicitation (1/2)

Chu Jingli was playing chess with the Battle Mecha in Xuan Ye's army camp.

”General, right now the Dongluo Province is completely silent. I'm afraid they are already at the end of their tether. If we take this opportunity to get there, we will be safe.” Say what you think.

Chu Jingli nodded, ”Of course I know.”

”Then why did the general …” The general was about to ask something, but he only said half of it.

Chu Jingli dropped a chess piece, ”Taken care of the Dongluo remnants of the army, but it's as easy as crushing ants, now it's not like before. The emperor empress has not been heard of, so if we destroy Dongluo, then the citizens of Dongluo City will not let this go so easily. When the time comes and the enemy is in the shadows, we will be in the light, and the empress will be in danger.”

Sui Xiong nodded his head, ”General is wise and farsighted. This subordinate is impressed.”

Indeed, their master had nine faculties. He did not care about the rules and was considerate when it came to matters.

”However, that Amu Du has not received much news recently.” Chu Jingli lowered his eyes and spoke slowly.

Right now, Xuan Yue's army had already surrounded the Dongluo Army camp. If he was Amudu, he would definitely think of a way to break out. However, right now, the Dongluo Army was frighteningly quiet. He was still a little worried.

In common sense, the sky had always been calm before the storm.

”He must be tired of his wife and has long forgotten all about the military affairs.” Ye Zichen smiled coyly.

Chu Jingli shook his head, ”Right now, everything is unknown, so we can't easily come to a conclusion. If Amudu had other tricks up his sleeve, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with them. In our current situation, losing troops is not a wise decision.”

”What does the general mean?” He was full of respect.

Chu Jingli dropped another chess piece, ”Wait.”

”Wait? ”Wait for what?”

”I'll wait for them to come and ask for peace.” Chu Jingli slowly picked up his tea cup and took a sip, ”Right now, we are at the best of times, the enemy is just fish on our chopping board, but think about it, even if we take down Dongluo, could we manage Dongluo? Now that the Emperor isn't here, they will surely have ill intentions. At that time, we will pay a rather painful price. ”

If the Emperor was here, Chu Jingli would definitely send troops to take over Dongluo City in one fell swoop.

Although Suifeng understood what he meant, he still felt that there was something amiss. ”What if Dong Luo doesn't come to make peace?”

”Since the King of the Dongluo Clan has the heart of the world, I'm afraid he won't be too stupid. Since they've attacked our country with the power of a whole nation, I don't think they'll take the risk of giving us the jade. For him, it's wise for him to come and ask for peace.”

”The general is wise.”

He had just finished his sentence when he heard the noise coming from outside.

Chu Jingli retracted his hand, ”Speak of the devil, the devil is here.”

Sola walked in and bowed. ”Greetings, General.”

”No need to be so courteous, sir.” Chu Jingli raised a hand to signal for him to rise.

He stood up and waited by the lord's side.

”My Emperor has sent me as an Imperial Envoy to present a letter of peace to the General.” After speaking, the letter was delivered to Chu Jingli.

He picked it up without opening it. ”Make peace?”

The meaning in her eyes was hard to fathom.

”Exactly.” Sola cupped his hands together and said, ”General, my Dongluo Clan has really troubled you this time. Please do not blame me, General. I offer my country's sincerity to you. Please accept this on behalf of the Emperor.”

Only then did Chu Jingli open the letter. He frowned as he looked at the words in the letter. Then, a charming smile appeared on his face, ”The sincerity of your king doesn't seem to be enough.”

”But the general …” Sola was in a bit of a dilemma. He had previously heard that Chu Jingli was extremely difficult to deal with despite his young age.

Chu Jing raised his letter and raised an eyebrow, his tone hinting. ”Our country is a great one, and we cannot afford to spend a mere three million silver taels. Do you underestimate me?”

The compensation and exchange of benefits between countries was like buying vegetables in a market. One needed to bargain, but one could not agree to all of them.

As a businessman, he had seen through everything.
