Chapter 586 Insolent
Two groups of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of Zhu Jie's camp and trapped Duan Que's people in the middle. He was startled. But the next second, a noble man wearing a brocade robe appeared on a tall horse.
The man turned over and dismounted and bowed deeply: "Zhu Ling, the mighty general under the command of King Garuda, paid homage to the envoys of the higher kingdom. I wish His Highness King Yan a thousand years of life. Please follow me in. My king is waiting for you."
Duan Que felt relieved immediately. It seemed that Pei Ju was right. His Highness, King Yan, was currently powerful in China, and no one dared to do anything to him.
As a result, his waist straightened up.
When he walked into the camp with square steps and came to Zhu Jie's luxurious tent, he saw a fat middle-aged man standing opposite, bowing to him: "Zhu Jie is here to see the envoy of the State of Yan, please take a seat.
"
Duan Que's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a cold air rising from the soles of his feet. He carefully looked at Zhu Jie, and found that he was about fifty years old, with round eyes, a double chin, and a face full of flesh.
It makes one's heart feel cold.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. The king of Jialoulou is polite, and the envoy of Yan State, Duan Que, is polite." Duan Que followed and said, "Come here, bring the gift."
The soldiers behind him hurriedly came over holding several brocade boxes. When they opened them, they were all filled with gold, silver, jewels and jades. The whole room was filled with jewels.
Zhu Jie licked his tongue roughly and said in surprise: "Oh my god, everyone says that King Yan is rich and noble. I didn't expect such a big deal. How can I be embarrassed to accept it?"
Duan Que despised him in his heart and thought to himself, you, a reckless butcher, have seen something good. King Yan was born into a noble family, and his wealth was endless. How could someone like you compare to him?
"Please sit down, serve tea, and order the banquet to be prepared."
When he heard that Zhu Jie was going to treat guests to dinner, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't eat the food that King Zhu was eating.
But Duan Zhen couldn't say anything, so he could only wait anxiously.
Of course, he was not idle, but talked about national affairs. He did not beat around the bush, and directly told Zhu Jie the purpose of his trip.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although you appear to be powerful on the surface, in fact you are short of food and grass, your soldiers are tired, and you are surrounded by powerful enemies outside. You are always in danger of destruction."
"As for your Royal Highness, the King of Yan, your army is strong now, and the unification of the north is just around the corner. Your Majesty is a smart and wise man, and should be able to assess the situation. With your current situation, rather than dreaming of becoming an emperor, it is better to find a backer to entrust you with the rest of your life.
, and King Yan is the best choice."
"As long as you surrender to King Yan, you can relieve the current crisis and be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future. Why not do it."
Zhu Jie and Zhu Ling have been waiting for Duan Que's words for a long time. They are already very close to Qin Hu's power, and there is indeed a possibility of destruction at any time. Even if Qin Hu doesn't deal with him, Du Fuwei and Li Zitong will sooner or later
Find him.
Even if these people don't look for him, he will still enter Du Fuwei's territory if he wanders around, which will probably lead to disaster. Surrendering is definitely the best way out.
Zhu Ling immediately stood up and bowed to Duan Queshen: "Your Excellency is right, my brother has had this intention for a long time. Everyone in the world knows that King Yan is the king of the world, and sooner or later he will unify the world. This is the so-called destiny
Returning is beyond human power, it’s just that we don’t have a way to communicate.”
"Sir is here today and we are willing to surrender."
Zhu Jie himself quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, sir, for helping me Zhu Jie. I will surrender to King Yan now. I hope you will have more kind words in the future."
Is it that easy?
Duan Que really didn't expect that this achievement would come so easily. He thought it would be in vain. Or maybe Zhu Jie would kill him.
"Okay, great. Your Majesty has always been good and will definitely be reused by King Yan in the future. I will now accept your surrender on behalf of King Yan."
The atmosphere became a little relaxed next. Zhu Jie immediately arranged for a singer to perform a dance, and then started serving wine and food.
Fortunately, Duan Que's worries were unnecessary. Zhu Jie probably took his reputation into consideration and was afraid that Duan Que would become suspicious, so he served a few legs of lamb.
Then there is no problem. Duan Que was indeed hungry, so he started drinking and eating meat.
But accidentally, his old habit relapsed. Under the warm greetings of Zhu Jie and Zhu Ling, and the changing of glasses, he gradually lost his guard and soon drank too much.
When the wine was intoxicating, he became a little forgetful and began to speak less rigorously. His wild and unruly nature was gradually exposed.
If Zhu Jie wasn't so humble and polite, maybe he would be restrained, but Zhu Jie was afraid of Qin Hu's power and blindly tried to please him, which made him seem a bit weak and easy to bully.
Duan Que suddenly said: "Your Majesty has been on the battlefield these years. He has carried out the Three Lights wherever he went. Not only the lives of the people have been destroyed, but the treasures have also been plundered. So he must have made a lot of money."
Zhu Jie's face changed slightly, and then he smiled humbly: "Everywhere, these are just legends from the outside world. Although I have established some achievements in these years, I have not occupied large counties, and all I have encountered are
The poor people are not like the great princes like King Yan who made a lot of money."
Of course Zhu Ling understood what Duan Que meant, and asking for bribes was human nature, so he coughed and took over the conversation: "Come here, bring me a thousand taels of silver."
After a while, several soldiers came up with several trays, all containing twelve ounces of silver ingots, and placed them in front of Duan Que.
Duan Que, on the other hand, didn't even look him in the eye, and the corners of his mouth turned up, as if he was arrogant and didn't know his last name.
The hidden meaning of this expression could not be more obvious than it is too little.
Zhu Jie's expression changed again, and he laughed to resolve the embarrassment: "Second brother, how can one thousand taels of silver be enough? King Yan is the common master of the world, and Mr. Duan is the pillar of King Yan's command. Sooner or later, he will be a very popular minister.
, From now on, we will be officials in the same court, and you will need to take more care of me. If someone comes, bring me another thousand taels."
When they brought another thousand taels, everyone found that Duan Que still had the same expression of wanting to die, and they immediately felt unhappy in their hearts.
Zhu Ling hurriedly explained: "You don't know something, sir. Huainan has been severely punished since the emperor's chaos. My family's life is really not easy. In addition, there are still 200,000 mouths to feed, so we are struggling every day."
, these two thousand taels of silver are our last possessions."
What Zhu Ling said was a lie, but their brothers were indeed not that rich. Because they lived very luxuriously on weekdays, they had almost spent all the money they had stolen.
"In this case, the king of silver should take it back. I, Duan Zhen, am not someone who has never seen money. King Yan rewards generals with at least tens of thousands of taels. I am not short of this money, and I have no intention of asking for bribes. You guys
You must have misunderstood me." Duan Quepi said with a smile.
