”Li Zi You, are you asking for a beating?” Lei An roared, was it wrong for him to think of his own wife and child?
Although there were letters, he was unable to see if she was really living well, he was feeling slightly worried.
Lin Zi You looked at Lei An in a disgusted manner: “Someone like you wishes to fight me?”
Qiao Tian Chang ignored those two seeing that they were bickering, he only reached out his hand and rubbed his temples. He was also missing Yao Yao and Shang’er. He had already left for one or two months, the child should have grown a lot right now. It was not known if he could already speak.
Thinking about the mother and child, there was a faint smile on Qiao Tian Chang’s cold and stiff face. But the smile was only there for a quick moment.
”Enough you two, go summon Nangong Yue in,” Qiao Tian Chang glanced at the two who were about to fight as he said in a disgusted manner.
Lei An gave Lin Zi You a kick and left before he had the chance to return it, it seemed as if he was fleeing.
Nangong Yue quickly entered after being guide in.
”I wonder what matters Prince Nangong has coming here,” Qiao Tian Chang pretended to enquire.
Nangong Yue’s eyelids twitched, this person really knew how to put on an act.
”My Imperial Father sent me over, he wanted to ask General Qiao what should we do for all of you to disperse your troops?” There were not many emotions on Nangong Yue’s face, it seemed like he was talking in a formal manner.
”I alone am not able to make the decision. Wait a while, I’ll have someone call the Prince of Feng Empire and the others and ask them,” Qiao Tian Chang said slowly.
Nangong Yue felt speechless inside. To call those people over, Ling Empire would need to bleed a lot this time, it was not known if his Imperial Father could take it?
Nangong Yue had indeed stayed in Xiao Empire, two days later, the people in charge from Feng Empire and the other empires arrived.
When they found out Ling Empire had requested them to withdraw their troops, the empires who could not hold on any longer secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Their empire was not huge, they had joined with the thoughts over having a slice of the pie, the war that lasted for a few months would cause them to almost empty their treasuries, they did not wish for it to happen. Right now, the Ling Empire had requested them to withdraw their troops, to them, there was nothing better than such an outcome.
However, they did not have the opportunity to talk on this occasion, everyone’s sight was placed on Qiao Tian Chang and Feng Shuo.
Qiao Tian Chang smiled as he looked at Nangong Yue: “Xiao Empire does not want much, a gold mine and two copper mines.”
Ling Empire had many ore mines, there were even a few gold mines, not to mention various ores, Xiao Empire coincidentally did not have many of that.
Xiao Empire’s ore mines were small, all of it added up could not be compared to a single one from Ling Empire.
Feng Shuo glanced at Qiao Tian Chang, this person really knew how to demand an exorbitant price, but Feng Shuo was not simple either, he glanced at Nangong Yue and directly said: “Feng Empire will have the same as Xiao Empire.”
The remaining were the other smaller empires, they naturally could not demand an exorbitant price like Qiao Tian Chang and the others, they could only say they wanted some wealth and sorts.
Nangong Yue’s lips kept twitching, two gold mines and four copper mines, it could be said to be one-third of Ling Empire’s total mines. Right now, they still needed to compensate those smaller empires some wealth, Ling Empire could be said to have thrown the helve after the hatchet this time. They had made a huge loss.
When Nangong Yue delivered the news back to Ling Empire, the Ling Emperor vomited blood in rage once more. Those small empires that usually tuck their tails between their feet actually dare to openly challenge them right now? Not only so, Qiao Tian Chang and the others were overboard, they actually had such huge appetites, why don’t they seem bloated?
No matter what, the Ling Emperor did not wish to agree to it, but if he did not agree, Xiao Empire and Feng Empire would definitely deploy their troops, his losses would be greater when the time comes.
In the end, the Ling Emperor gritted his teeth, he could only agree to Qiao Tian Chang and the other’s request in a helpless manner. He brought people along to sign the agreement Qiao Tian Chang and the others had prepared, it was written that the three empires would have a centennial covenant, the party who goes against it would have to pay compensation to the rest.
Such a condition caused the Ling Emperor to be so enraged that he almost vomited blood, he had paid a sky-high compensation just for the sake of obtaining this?
