Chapter 516

"Grand General, spare our lives…"

"We… we were just here to deliver a message…"

Duan Yu's gaze fell on the three.

The three looked to be about thirty years old.

"Since you are just messengers, then you are even more useless. I have already heard your Old King's message, and your mission is complete. Since that's the case, what use is there in keeping you?"

Duan Yu waved his hand while speaking.

Tie Shitou chuckled: "Drag them out and behead them."

"Grand General…"

"General, spare our lives…"

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both stared at Duan Yu with wide eyes.

Both knew Duan Yu's character; he was definitely not a bloodthirsty person. Why would he suddenly order these Qiang messengers to be beheaded?

Just as the two were pondering,

the three Qiang soldiers being dragged toward the outside of the city began to shout.

"Grand General, don't kill us, we were acting under the orders of the Little King."

"The Little King is right outside the city, the Little King is right outside the city…"

"Shitou."

Duan Yu called out to Tie Shitou.

Tie Shitou then waved his hand.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao suddenly realized.

"Ziyi is amazing. How did you know they were just small fry and that there was a big fish nearby?"

"Indeed."

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao asked curiously.

Duan Yu shrugged innocently: "I didn't know either."

"Didn't they say it themselves?"

Yuan Shao: "…"

Cao Cao: "…"

Before long,

just after the three Qiang soldiers revealed that the son of the Baima Qiang Old King was nearby,

Lu Bu led a group of cavalry behind a hillside not far from Jianwei City, surrounded the son of the Baima Qiang Old King and dozens of Qiang cavalry, and captured them alive.

To say that the three Qiang soldiers betrayed the son of the Baima Qiang Old King wasn't entirely accurate.

Because the Baima Qiang Old King's order was for his son to come and find him.

But this son of the Baima Qiang Old King was not a brave man either.

After seeing the three *jingguan* of ten thousand heads piled in front of the Jianwei city gate, he was so scared that he didn't dare to enter the city at all.

So he sent the three men ahead.

He just didn't expect that these three were just as afraid of death.

"What's your name?"

Duan Yu sat by the fire, looking at the bound son of the Baima Qiang Old King and asked.

"Replying… replying to General Duan, my name is Bai Lin."

Bai Lin, who was no more than twenty, looked up and cautiously watched Duan Yu, his eyes full of terror.

"Speak, what does your father want with me?" Duan Yu continued to ask.

Bai Lin looked at Duan Yu across the fire with shifty eyes, his voice trembling: "Replying… replying… replying to General Duan, my father… he wants to request that General Duan… please don't kill anymore."

"He… he hopes to have a talk with you."

Have a talk.

Duan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just as he was getting sleepy, someone came to deliver a pillow.

A talk was definitely going to happen.

After the fighting, it was time to talk.

However, according to his plan, he had originally intended to wait until spring to sweep through once more before talking.

Since the Baima Qiang Old King had come to his door now, that was perfect.

But even if they were to talk, he had to maintain the initiative.

Since the other party had come to him, he had to be even more careful in handling the situation.

"Then you can go back and tell your father now," Duan Yu said with a sneer: "Tell him to have himself and your tribesmen wash their necks clean and wait for me properly."

As soon as Duan Yu said this, Bai Lin's face turned pale with fright.

"No… General Duan, no, my father is coming with sincerity to talk to you."

Bai Lin struggled to get up, but was struck on the knee by Tie Shitou's scabbard from behind and knelt down again.

"General Duan, my father… is friends with your father-in-law, General Dong… we have no malice."

Bai Lin, kneeling on the ground, shouted anxiously.

"Oh?"

Duan Yu looked up at Bai Lin and said: "Since you want to talk, then show some sincerity."

"Also, if your father only represents your Baima Qiang, then I don't think there is any need to talk."

"No, no, no, no, General Duan," Bai Lin explained: "The Shaodang Qiang attacking Jincheng Commandery has nothing to do with us. My father represents more than a dozen tribes; it is all the tribes of Longxi Commandery who wish to negotiate with you, hoping you will not kill anymore."

"Good."

Duan Yu nodded and said: "Since your father knows my father-in-law, I will give him this face."

"Go back and tell your father that my patience is very limited. If you cannot give me a satisfactory show of sincerity, then go back and wash your necks clean and wait." ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
