Chapter 709 I went, but it was no use.
"Jia Tisi of the Imperial City Guard? The husband of the Prince of Zhenbei? He only likes beautiful women and has many wives at home?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Reba's mind went blank.
She never expected that the eldest prince, her longtime rival on the grasslands, would leave so suddenly.
Places like Cliff City will change hands again at this time.
"Yes, Your Highness. According to the information I received in Dajing, the ladies beside this Jia Tisi are all first-rate beauties, each one stunningly beautiful and possessing unparalleled charm."
"In our tribe, only you and Lord Hadun can be described as having the beauty to make fish sink and geese fall from the sky."
Lady Hatton, of course, is Hailasu Nazha.
To be honest, among women on the grasslands, those with the looks of Haila Sunazha and Xiao Reba are truly one in a million!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Reba was completely petrified.
What does this mean? Does it mean they want to exchange themselves and the princess for Chu Luen?
The queen is the backbone of the tribe, and she is definitely not someone to be traded. So the only thing left to be exchanged is oneself.
Do I really have to sacrifice myself?
Struggling internally, Xiao Reba gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Tianlang, do you really have to exchange myself for this...? Can't I exchange the cattle, sheep, and horses from the grasslands?"
Tianlang shook his head: "Your Highness, if the person you want to replace is an ordinary person, they might agree. But now it's General Chuluen. They already know General Chuluen's identity. If we bring him back, he could very well become our new clan leader. So they definitely won't agree, unless..."
"Unless we can offer Jatis terms that will make him relent."
Xiao Reba: "..."
She was a smart girl and naturally understood what Sirius meant.
Just as Xiao Reba fell silent, one of Hailasuna's maids trotted over and came to Tianlang's side: "Tianlang! Lord Hadun wants you to come over."
Since it was Helasu Nazha who summoned him, Sirius naturally couldn't refuse.
"Your Highness, I'll go see the Princess Consort now. Please don't take Prince Chu Luen's matter to heart. That Jia Tisi is no good person! Although he's handsome, he's too lecherous! If you fall into his hands, who knows what kind of humiliation you'll suffer!"
……
After Tianlang left, Xiao Reba's mood became increasingly conflicted.
They were constantly in a state of internal struggle.
Because she had already discerned from what Tianlang had just said that it seemed that she was the only one left who could save Chu Luen!
Because this Jia Daoshi likes beautiful women!
However, as a member of a different race, if I were to actually reach the Cliff City, my fate would certainly not be as fortunate as that of the other beauties.
It's definitely impossible for her to become the wife of that Imperial City Supervisor.
Perhaps, I'll only be able to become a slave!
Because when the barbarians arrived in Dajing, most of them would be marked as slaves!
The thought of having a slave label tattooed on her face made Xiao Reba's body tremble slightly.
But what about my uncle who always dotes on me if I don't go?
I was raised by my uncle, and now that he is suffering in prison, if I don't save him, who else can?
She didn't want to lose her only family member!
Moreover, even if I don't go to Juebi City, I might still end up in the hands of the King of Jingjue!
It's better to be a slave to Jia Daoshi than to fall into the hands of that barbarian!
No matter what, Jia Daoshi was a native of Dajing, and he was also handsome, unlike the barbarians on the grasslands who were savage!
Especially the King of Jingjue!
The tribe of King Jingjue still retains the custom of eating living people and burying them alive to this day!
Thinking of this, Xiao Reba's body trembled again!
So Xiao Reba quickly came up with an idea.
Her eyes, which had been filled with confusion, gradually became firm!
That's right, she's prepared to get involved herself!
at the same time.
Sirius followed orders and entered Helasuna's tent.
Hailasunazha stood in the large tent, her previous composure and languor gone.
"Sirius, our tribe is facing a life-or-death crisis. I hope you will step forward and do your part for our tribe!"
"Lord Hatton, I will obey your command!" Sirius knelt on one knee, his face full of piety.
After a moment of contemplation, Helasu Naza said with a serious expression, "Tianlang, I need you to go to the Cliff City and negotiate with the Dajing people. Our tribe cannot be without men. We hope to exchange our cattle, sheep, and horses for the men of our tribe!"
"Sirius, this journey may be dangerous, but as long as you can complete the mission, you will be a great hero and benefactor to the tribe!"
"I will reward you with 100,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 head of cattle and sheep!"
Upon hearing Helasuna's words, Sirius's face showed a troubled expression: "Lord Hatton, I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult..."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything!"
Hela Sunazha's face darkened: "Tianlang, Benhaddon knows it's a bit difficult to ask you to do this, but it's the only way right now."
Tianlang shook his head: "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to go, but I'm afraid that even if I go, it will be useless."
Hailasuna was taken aback by his words: "Why? Do you think that the people of Cliff City will kill you just because you're from the grasslands?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Your identity is top secret. In the eyes of the Da Jing people, you are still a Da Jing person. I will give you a document explaining why you are here. After all, you are just a businessman and have nothing to do with the war."
Caravans traveling between countries to exchange goods was a common and normal practice in this era. Even when two countries were at war, these exchanges would not be interrupted, but the checks would be more stringent.
After all, the exchange of goods was a basic necessity for ordinary people and even nobles in all dynasties.
Sirius hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Lord Hadun, that’s not what I meant. The person in charge of Juebi City this time is Jia Tisi from the Imperial City Guard of the Great Jing Dynasty. Even the eldest prince of the Great Jing Dynasty listens to Jia Tisi. I just feel that, given my status, I’m afraid I’m not qualified to sit at the negotiating table with him. At most… at most I can only pass on a message for Lord Hadun.”
After Sirius finished speaking, Hela Sunazha basically understood what he was going to say.
The Kushan Empire is now severely weakened, having suffered heavy losses, including the deaths of its five chieftains.
She knew this, and so did the people of the city on the opposite side of the cliff.
At this point, if the city of Juebi were to send troops, they could easily crush them.
It's fair to say they weren't even qualified to sit at the negotiating table.
At this point, if he only sent one merchant, and one from the Great Jing region at that, it would appear to be very insincere.
In addition, the number of prisoners to be exchanged this time is far too large. How could the Great Jing Dynasty just release them back like that?
Even if they do release them, the demands they make will definitely be outrageous!
