Chapter 1328

"Shangqing Meng Yi being caught by you is his incompetence."

"If we have a chance, we can save him; if not, there's no way."

"We won't pay too high a price to save him."

"But if you dare to take action against him, all of you will have to be buried together!"

Han Xin's tone was firm and his attitude was strong.

There was no hint of weakness.

These words left the surrounding soldiers speechless for a long time.

Is the Commander speaking from the heart?

They didn't know.

But they knew that if this matter reached General Meng Tian's ears.

The General would definitely explode; after all, Meng Yi was his younger brother.

And it might not be good if it reached His Highness's ears.

I don't know why the Commander spoke these words openly?

Is it really good to say such things in this occasion?

They didn't dare to speak and could only listen quietly.

Only Li Xin and Zhao Tuo understood Han Xin's thoughts.

Zhou Qi was a bit silly; this was completely different from what he thought.

It's difficult to handle now; this Commander is too ruthless.

He couldn't make a decision anymore.

This matter had exceeded the scope of what he could decide.

This matter had developed to this point, and only by reporting it could County Commandant Ren decide.

"If you use Meng Yi to exchange for food, we can give you some."

"If you use him to threaten, then you are looking in the wrong direction; we will not agree."

"Instead, you will anger us because of this."

"The consequences of angering us are very serious; these consequences might be something you cannot bear."

Han Xin looked at Zhou Qi and revealed a gentle smile.

It's just that the words were not very kind.

Every word didn't carry threats, but every word had threats.

Zhou Qi only felt a chill down his spine.

He had a feeling of wanting to escape from here.

These are not normal people; they don't even care about hostages.

It's hard to say if it's true or false, but the tone and demeanor were so real.

He had to go back and report this.

"This... I can't decide."

"I need to go back and report it."

Zhou Qi could only say this.

Although saying this was a bit faceless.

It would make people feel that if he couldn't even decide this, what was he here to discuss.

But he really couldn't make this decision.

The person who could make this decision didn't dare to come here.

"Then go back; I won't see you off."

"This general promises you here, exchange Meng Yi for food."

"We will not launch an attack on you."

"After all, you still have some use; even without hostages, you are safe."

Han Xin revealed a smile; his goal was achieved.

It depends on how Ren Xiao and the others choose later.

Wanting to get food without handing over Meng Yi is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Han Xin couldn't accept such threats.

This kind of thing would happen a second and third time if it happened once.

This matter must not be opened as a precedent.

After that, it depends on Ren Xiao and the others' moves.

As for whether to exchange or starve, it depends on their decision.

Meng Yi is still safer with his own people.

Who knows if Ren Xiao and the others will be driven to desperate measures.

They value Meng Yi very much; after all, Meng Yi's identity is too special.

The Emperor values the Meng brothers; this is a well-known thing.

Meng Yi is a Shangqing and General Meng Tian's younger brother.

This status is very special.

It's just that they can't show too much importance to Meng Yi.

Otherwise, it would give Ren Xiao and the others an opportunity.

Still have some use?

Zhou Qi immediately thought of clearing the path.

These people really treat them as tools for clearing the path.

But what can he do?

These are facts, facts that cannot be changed.

Since this Commander promised to let him leave.

Then he could leave and go back to discuss with the County Commandant.

As for how to decide, that's not something he can decide.

This beating seems to have been in vain.

Zhou Qi was a bit helpless, but there was no way.

He could only sneak back along the road he came.

The soldiers present didn't pay attention to him and let him leave on his own.

But Zhou Qi felt a great shame.

This was simply ignoring him.

But what could he do?

He could only smile bitterly.

"Farewell!"

Zhou Qi turned and left, his lonely back stretched long.

Looking a bit desolate, with a bit of sadness.

The surrounding soldiers whispered.

"What did His Highness say?"

"Empty-handed white wolf!"

"Didn't this rebel deputy general come here to use an empty-handed white wolf?"

"Not exchanging Shangqing Meng Yi, but wanting to borrow food."

"This kind of borrowing definitely won't be returned; I really don't know what they were thinking."

"Thinking of such a method, do they really think we are stupid?"

"It's really funny; look at his back as he leaves sneakily, it's so funny."

"Who says it isn't; wanting to use one person to threaten us to hand over so much food."

"This is not realistic at all; after all, there are too many of them."

"The food they need is simply a bottomless pit."
