Chapter 336

He didn't persist to the end, and the Chu army dared to have ideas about him; it was simply reversing the heavens and the earth!

"..."

Outside the Jing River.

A large river meandered past, and on its bank, a pavilion stood on the earth.

Chu Qingluan stood in the pavilion.

She wore tight soft armor, her slender figure set off to the fullest by the armor, full and towering, heroic and spirited.

Behind her, Chu Tianfeng, Chu Kuang, Deputy General Xiao, as well as Wu Xiong and Xue Yi, all looked toward the direction of Changancheng.

Chu Qingluan frowned and said, "Deputy General Xiao, did that Da Qian Living Yama really say that?"

"Inside Changancheng, there are tens of thousands of giant crossbows, one hundred thousand grenades, and over one hundred thousand Da Qian elites, with ten thousand methods?"

Deputy General Xiao nodded repeatedly. "Second Princess, this subordinate could not have misheard a single word! That Da Qian Living Yama indeed said so!"

"Heaven knows how many methods have been created inside Changancheng!"

As the words fell.

Chu Kuang gasped, his scalp numb.

"Fortunately, I was cautious, and the Second Princess is wise, otherwise if we had charged in, wouldn't that be reporting directly to the Yama?"

Everyone looked wary in unison.

Chu Qingluan's brows furrowed even deeper. "Originally, I really felt that there were many traps inside Changancheng, but hearing this, I actually feel that this Living Yama played an Empty City Strategy on us."

"Empty City Strategy?"

Everyone's expression changed. Chu Tianfeng subconsciously said.

"Da Qian has already occupied the upper hand and won a great victory last night. If this is an Empty City Strategy, the risk and reward are simply not proportional!"

Others also said one after another.

"Yes, Second Princess, this does not conform to human nature."

"Our army's siege is already showing signs of fatigue, Da Qian had no need to do this at all, the risk is too great. Even if it succeeded, our army didn't lose anything; at most, Da Qian got one more day of breathing room, and our army's morale weakened."

Chu Qingluan looked at everyone and said coldly, "Don't forget, this Living Yama is a good hand at playing with human nature!"

"When everyone feels it is impossible, and the risk of this matter is greater than the benefit, it is actually the opposite!"

"At this time, the benefit should be greater than the risk!"

"There might be methods inside Changancheng, but they are absolutely not as exaggerated as he said, and these so-called grenades are definitely not many, otherwise he would have already used them on our army, not waiting until last night. This is just wanting to scare us!"

Chu Qingluan's words made everyone fall into thought.

Chu Tianfeng said with an ugly expression, "Second Princess, do you mean that the Living King of Hell said these things just to occupy the initiative when negotiating?"

"Is he so cunning?"

Chu Qingluan carried a bit of self-mockery. "He has not been cunning for just one or two days."

"But the matter has already passed, and going back to regret and guess has no more meaning. Grasping the present is the kingly way."

"If I am not mistaken, when we negotiate later, it should be that Living Yama who is in charge!"

Mentioning that Gao Yang would come, everyone's eyes were shocked.

Chu Qingluan also took a deep breath. Setting aside all factors, she really wanted to see this Gao Yang!

She was very curious what this Living Yama, who could turn the tide and support the falling Da Qian, and create so many dirty methods, actually looked like!

"Second Princess, the Changancheng walls are covered in flags, many people have appeared, and six people are riding horses from the city gate!"

"They should be the people Da Qian sent to negotiate!"

Deputy General Xiao shouted, interrupting Chu Qingluan's thoughts.

Chu Qingluan looked up and saw six figures coming toward them from the direction of the Changancheng gate.

She touched the object hidden in her sleeve and said coldly, "Later, if these six people don't look like ministers coming to negotiate, and their behavior is strange, don't doubt, retreat immediately, and run as fast as you can!"

Chu Tianfeng and the others nodded solemnly.

Although they had no intention of harming others, they had to guard against that Da Qian Living Yama!

Especially with that mysterious explosive object!

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree; although they hadn't seen Gao Yang, they also knew that this Gao Yang was definitely not a good person with morals!

On the other side.

Gao Yang led the way, leisurely.

In contrast, the others were all a bit nervous.

The main force of Da Qian's negotiation, this goes without saying, was Gao Yang and Cui Xinghe.

As for them, they were purely there to make up the numbers.

Shangguan Wan'er clenched the reins of her warhorse, looking nervous, and looked toward the direction of Chu Qingluan.

In the pavilion, six figures were tall, the Jing River surged behind them, and combined with the black mass of the Chu army in the distance, this pressure was terrifying!

Gao Yang glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, who was full of nervousness, and said calmly, "Lord Shangguan, negotiation between two countries is not for vulgar people, there is no need to be so nervous."

"Relax!"

Shangguan Wan'er thought about it, took a deep breath, and felt the nervous mood dissipate quite a bit.

"Lord Gao, did you learn this diplomatic method of the School of Diplomacy from the study of capitalists?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked curious.

Hearing this question, Cui Xinghe also suddenly became spirited.

Gao Yang replied casually, "Diplomatic methods are not learned from capitalists, and even less from the School of Diplomacy."

Shangguan Wan'er was even more curious. "Then where did you learn it?"

"To be precise, it comes from Zu'an."

"Later, Lord Shangguan, just watch my performance!"
