Moreover, no matter whether he wins or loses, he must be upright and not lose the pattern.
The envoy walked in in a hurry. When he saw Xiang Kunlun, he immediately knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Xiang Kunlun raised his eyebrows and said nothing for the time being.
He vaguely saw the shadow of a person from this messenger.
He wanted to see whose acting skills were better compared with the messenger and the big earlobe who loved to cry.
"If you have anything to say, please come and give the envoy a seat."
While begging for mercy, the envoy listened to Xiang Kunlun's tone and tried to figure out his thoughts.
It felt like Xiang Kunlun was quite polite to him, and he felt a little more at ease.
After sitting down, the envoy continued: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to say that we really overestimated our capabilities and should not have gone to war with the Dragon Kingdom."
"Our emperor sent me here this time just to discuss with you whether we can stop the war?"
Xiang Kunlun pretended to be confused, with a puzzled look on his face.
"What does the messenger mean by this? Why can't I understand it? The Dragon Kingdom has always been focused on peace. Where did the war come from?"
The envoy looked embarrassed and wanted to ask, if it was not a war and attack, how could we explain the soldiers who are now surrounding their country
But of course he didn't dare to say that, so he could only continue to smile.
"The emperor is joking. If the attack can be stopped, we, the East Island Kingdom, are willing to become a vassal state of the Dragon Kingdom."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Looking at the messenger again, it seemed as if he didn't even realize how influential his words were.
The three words "vassal state" are just a change of surrender into a nicer term.
Once it becomes a vassal country, it cannot even talk about the most basic friendly establishment of diplomatic relations. It is directly equivalent to being defeated by the other party and then becoming a part of the other party.
The relationship between the two parties is no longer equal, but equal to that of the boss and his lackeys.
Everyone couldn't help but whisper.
"Do you think their emperor's brain has been damaged? In order to save his life, he even gave up his dignity."
"It's also possible that they are scared out of their wits, afraid that we will really kill them."
"I don't think so. It's possible that the people from the East Island Country are trying to pull off some conspiracy."
Xiang Kunlun raised his eyelids slightly and quickly scanned everyone.
Everyone stopped the discussion immediately and became silent.
And the envoy from the Eastern Island Country still stood quietly, waiting for a reply.
Xiang Kunlun hit the nail on the head and asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
"Is this really what your emperor said? He wants to become a vassal state?"
The messenger nodded without hesitation.
There was another three minutes of silence.
Xiang Kunlun seemed to have thought about it, and finally gave the envoy one word - OK.
The messenger was overjoyed, thanked him profusely and left quickly.
As soon as he left, there was an explosion in the court.
"Your Majesty, it is better to be cautious. The East Island Kingdom may not really surrender."
Xiang Kunlun slowly stood up and said word by word: "I may not really agree."
Everyone said "Oh~" in their hearts at the same time, that kind of "Oh" with a long ending sound and full of exclamation.
Thinking about it, how could their emperor be so stupid and believe what others say so easily
In fact, they were only half right.
If it were another country, Xiang Kunlun might actually agree.
It’s a pity that it’s an East Island country.
Xiang Kunlun didn't have a good impression of this country at all.
He has known for a long time that all people in this country have the tendency to go back on their word.
"Send the order, everyone will be ready tonight!"
Time passes little by little.
The bright moon was in the sky, there was no wind, and everything was quiet.
Xiang Kunlun looked up at the moon. With such a beautiful moonlight, it was a pity that a massacre was about to take place.
He had already calculated that when the envoys from the Eastern Island Kingdom returned, they would tell their emperor the news of his agreement.
If their emperor was not a fool, he would definitely seize this opportunity and launch a night attack on the Dragon Kingdom while he relaxes his vigilance.
Zhuge Liang stood beside him, looking at Xiang Kunlun with an expressionless face. It couldn't be said to be sad, but it was definitely not happy.
He thought for a while and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, after defeating the East Island Kingdom this time, Kong Ming boldly wants to have a few drinks with the Emperor."
Xiang Kunlun smiled and was about to say no problem.
"quick!"
Following the order, he heard a series of thin footsteps.
Xiang Kunlun and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, here they come!
"The Emperor has an order. As long as you conquer the Dragon Kingdom, you will be rewarded heavily when you return!"
"Come on! Do Xiang Kunlun's job and kill him!"
A general led a group of people and when they rushed to the perimeter, they suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Years of combat experience gave him a faint sense of danger.
"General, what's wrong?"
Why is it so quiet? Something seems wrong.
His sharp eyes examined everything around him.
The moonlight became brighter and brighter.
"No, there's an ambush, retreat quickly!"
But it's too late.
Xiang Kunlun had already arranged for the men and horses to come out from their hiding place with an order.
The people of the East Island Kingdom were scared to death.
"General, we seem to have been made dumplings!"
Dian Wei laughed loudly and chopped each of them to death with a knife, and he was eager to kill.
"You are so impatient that you still dare to attack me! It just so happens that my hands are itchy recently, so I'll cut them off every time I come!"
During previous wars, Xiang Kunlun would give an order that if anyone wanted to surrender, they could not be killed.
Those with slightly higher military ranks cannot be killed if captured.
But this time, he didn't say anything, and the meaning was self-evident.
This war was a repressive victory. The general and a few soldiers fought desperately to escape back to the East Island Kingdom.
He knelt before the emperor of the Eastern Island Kingdom, his face full of grief and indignation.
"Your Majesty, at the end of this battle, all the troops I brought with me will be wiped out!"
"The general would like to ask the envoy whether the news that the Dragon Kingdom has agreed to us becoming a vassal state is true?"
The emperor of the East Island Kingdom was already furious. He directly sent someone to escort the envoy who was going to talk.
"Repeat it to me! What did Xiang Kunlun say? Otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you are a traitor!"
The envoy was so frightened that he screamed that he was wronged, saying that Xiang Kunlun had agreed to it at that time.
"Then how do you explain the current situation?"
"Back to the emperor, I don't even know!"
"Drag him out and cut him into pieces!"
The envoy shouted desperately for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, I am not a traitor!"
Fortunately, the military advisor who had been standing beside him silently began to intercede on his behalf.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I have long heard that Xiang Kunlun is full of tricks. Maybe he pretended to promise to deceive us."
