Cai State, Imperial City, Beichen Yuqing followed Ye Mingquan to meet the Emperor of Cai State. Compared with the Emperor of Daxia State, the Emperor of Cai State was undoubtedly more majestic. The emperor of a powerful country was different.
"Foreign minister Beichen Yuqing pays respect to His Majesty the Northern Kingdom."
The Emperor of Cai looked at Beichen Yuqing, then looked at the negotiation terms in his hand, and nodded decisively, "Your terms are not excessive, I agree. Let's execute it according to the agreement."
Then, the Emperor of Cai sent Ye Mingquan to the south with the elixir to visit the Emperor of Daxia. For a dying man, the Emperor of Cai might have felt a little sad for his own kind.
He then ordered more than 10,000 prisoners of the Imperial Guards of the State of Cai to follow the prime minister's family to the southeast; the place where the prisoners were exchanged was the border area between the State of Cai and Anyang.
The new Prime Minister of Cai State, Huang Fu, accompanied him.
When seeing the prisoners of the Imperial Guards, Beichen Yuqing's eyes flashed with anger; these prisoners had been tortured beyond recognition, and some of them had their cultivation ruined! Among ten thousand people, it was estimated that there were not even three thousand who were barely healthy!
As for the family of Yan Ze'an, the former prime minister of the State of Cai, they were even more miserable; more than ten days had passed since the negotiation, and the adults in the prime minister's family were fine, but some of the children were almost starved to death! This was during the house arrest, and the adults fainted the children, which saved their lives.
Seeing that many members of Yan Ze'an's family were already dying, Beichen Yuqing took a deep breath and said, "Come here, give the prisoners some last meal."
Beichen Yuqing said this, and Cai Guo certainly had no objection. Soon, the sumptuous "last meal" was "thrown" onto the prisoner's car and scattered everywhere. The people who had long been starving wolfed it down, not even caring about the dirty water.
But Yan Ze'an and a few others had dull expressions and were not moved at all; these people had truly given up hope.
Especially Yan Ze'an, who had given so much to the Cai State and helped a country that was about to collapse to regain its vitality, but in the end, he ended up like this! One can imagine how sad and angry he must be!
As the team moved forward, a large number of people from the State of Cai gathered along the way; these people had no idea the truth and only believed in rumors; after seeing the prime minister's prison cart, they spit on it. They were angry at the war that the prime minister had started and at the soldiers who had died because of the prime minister.
Faced with the insults and accusations from the people, Prime Minister Yan Ze'an, who was heartbroken, actually shed a tear.
Beichen Yuqing finally couldn't bear to watch any longer and immediately asked the team to speed up. However, the large and weak group of prisoners still slowed down the pace. It took more than six days to reach the border.
After crossing the border, we saw the people from Anyang who had been waiting there for a long time.
Princess Xia Qingqing took the lead, with 30,000 troops in the rear to support her; there were also more than 20,000 prisoners of the State of Cai who were tied up.
The tense atmosphere once again filled the border. Anyang's 30,000 troops were suppressing more than 20,000 prisoners, with no end in sight. The Cai State was not weak either, with 30,000 troops suppressing more than 10,000 prisoners. The leader was Huang Fu, the new prime minister of the Cai State.
Seeing Xia Qingqing, Huang Fu stepped forward and said, "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Southern Kingdom. A total of 12,422 captives, as well as 176 members of the Yan family, have been brought here."
