Your Highness, a thousand times over!"Sān Bǎo's excitement is understandable.To send one's own goddaughter to be a slave to someone else just doesn't sound right.If this happened to an ordinary perso...Chapter 1697: I Stay, Let Them Go

Faced with Xiao Shenghe's words, Su Pingbei did not respond.

His first move was to grab Zhao Tailei's neck with his arm, then he held a blood-stained long knife against his throat. Lowering his head, Su Pingbei leaned in Zhao Tailei's ear and said, "I'll try my best to keep your identity a secret, whether you live or die depends on your own fate. Cooperate with me and act out this play."

Zhao Tailai's eyes widened suddenly, and he instantly understood Su Pingbei's meaning.

...while this expression was actually one of shock, to outsiders it appeared as the terrified fear of someone clinging to life.

It makes perfect sense.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him right now."

Su Pingbei held Zhao Tailai hostage and said to Xiao Sheng with a fierce voice.

Xiao Sheng chuckled lightly and said, "Do you think that with the crimes you have committed, holding a mere Zhao Tailai hostage, could be capital to negotiate with me"

"Fuck your damn stinky dog!"

Su Pingbei let out a roar of pain and laughed maniacally: "What crime have I committed In war, we kill your people and burn your supplies. It's just the victor takes all, there's nothing to say about it. Don't you dare put the blame on me! I killed you because it was justified by heaven and earth, I only regret not killing more Liao dogs, so they wouldn't be able to feel enough pain in hell!"

Su Pingbei's words ignited the passions of the Liao army, but also stirred a fervor in the hearts of hundreds of Qin soldiers.

"Xiao Sheng remained unmoved, saying calmly: 'You used a proverb quite well - the victor writes history. You are now the vanquished, and I am the victor. Lay down your arms, you and your soldiers, and I guarantee you a dignified end to this.'"

Su Ping laughed and said, "You're full of it again."

"What's a dignified end Being hacked to death by your pack of Khitan dogs Or being bound and sent before Yelü Shenxuan, that dog king, to take credit and earn yourself a bone"

"I see through you," Xiao Shenghe said nonchalantly. "Your mouth is the only thing that's hard."

"I've got something even harder than my mouth, you better ask your mother, she knows."

Su Ping's one sentence almost made Zhao Tailai, who was already extremely tense, burst into laughter.

But Su Pingbei's soldiers behind him were not so polite. They burst into laughter, feeling extremely satisfied.

Now, it was Xiao Sheng's turn to be unable to hold his ground. He lost face.

The Liao nation prized strength above all else, venerating the strong. To be insulted so brazenly by a Qin army commander, to do nothing in response would mean he'd become the laughingstock of the entire Liao army tomorrow.

"I was going to give you a way out, but now, you've thrown it away yourself."

Xiao Shenghe's face turned cold, and he was about to order the killing of all these people when Su Pingbei shouted loudly: "Hold on!"

Xiao Sheng sneered and said, “I thought you were so tough, but you’re just another coward.”

“My original mission from my prince was to find you all and kill you. However, if I could capture you alive, my prince would be even happier. But don't think you can negotiate with me. It's best if I capture you alive. If not, take your heads back to the prince—that would be a great military achievement for me.”

Su Ping stood silently to the north, seemingly unconcerned with what Xiao Shenghe had to say. He remained rooted in place, still holding Zhao Tailai hostage. After Xiao Shenghe finished speaking, he spoke, "I'll stay, you let my brothers go.", Prince!" Wan Jiaojiao said with a delighted smile.Chuckling softly, Li Chen said, "When I took you there before, I noticed you were always afraid of Jin Pa. What's there to be afraid of In a few day...
