Huangxiu

Chapter 192 Win or Lose
"A prisoner?" Li Hongzhao sneered sarcastically: "Chu Zhiyuan, what are you dreaming about!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Two prisoners?"

"I don't know what evil sect is."

"Ten, maybe." Chu Zhiyuan said, "With the utmost sincerity, there can't be more."

"Twenty!" Li Hongzhao said lightly, glancing at him sideways, as if he didn't care whether he wanted to change or not.

“Twenty…” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head. “If twenty prisoners return to the battlefield, I don’t know how many of my Dajing soldiers will be killed. Ten is already the limit, no more is possible.”

Before releasing the prisoners, their thumbs must be cut off so that they can no longer hold weapons and go to the battlefield.

It seems that Li Hongzhao doesn't understand the ins and outs of this.

Dajing and Daming never exchanged prisoners. They either killed them directly or threw them into the mines to do hard labor until they died of exhaustion.

"No matter how many Dajing soldiers they killed, they couldn't kill as many people as the Evil Sect!"

"The evil sect can't cause any trouble," Chu Zhiyuan shook his head. "The Zhenwu Division has so many experts, and we were just worried that no one would arrest them. They just happened to come to us and bring us credit!"

"Once the evil sect demon takes action, the impact will be huge!" Li Hongzhao curled his lips and said, "If they start killing people, you, Dajing, will lose all your reputation!"

"When there weren't so many masters in the Zhenwu Division, they couldn't do anything. But now that there are so many masters in the Zhenwu Division, can they stir up trouble?"

She suddenly smiled.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and stared at her.

At this time, a little maid knocked on the door and came in, offering a veil: "Your Highness, this belongs to Miss Qu, and she has never used it."

"Well, very good." Li Hongzhao took it, stroked it carefully, sniffed it, put it on, and covered her beautiful face.

Chu Zhiyuan felt a little melancholy.

Li Hongzhao is hateful, but the color is indeed good and pleasing to the eye.

Li Hongzhao put on the veil and immediately became confident. He smiled jokingly and said, "How is it? Can you still tell?"

Wearing a veil did not diminish her beauty.

This beauty does not only come from the face, but also from the body shape, posture, and eyes.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Your Highness, unless you are blindfolded, it will be useless. I never lie."

"Oh——?" Li Hongzhao disagreed and curled her red lips under the veil.

Never lie?

No one dares to say that!

This in itself is the biggest lie!

Chu Zhiyuan stared into her phoenix eyes and said slowly: "These evil sect monsters are not causing trouble in Yujing, but somewhere else!"

After putting on the veil, only her bright eyes were revealed. The brilliance that had been taken away by her beautiful facial features was restored, and it was discovered that her eyes were extremely beautiful.

There are slight changes to the almond-shaped eyes, with the corners of the eyes slightly longer and raised a little bit, making them more charming.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Outside of Yujing, according to the temperament of the evil sect monster, the influence must be big enough, that is... Taizhou!”

He stared into Li Hongzhao's beautiful eyes.

Li Hongzhao blinked, his eyes sparkling and shining, as if smiling: "Chu Zhiyuan, then you go to Taizhou!"

"It is Taizhou indeed!" Chu Zhiyuan said slowly.

Taizhou City is about 100 miles away from Yujing, located in the south of Yujing, and is at the strategic point of the official road leading to Yujing.

Although its prosperity is not as great as Yujing, it is still one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

If a tragedy occurred in Taizhou City, it would surely alarm the entire Dajing and would be enough to shock the martial arts world.

Li Hongzhao curled his lips: "Guess what you want, so you don't want to exchange?"

"Of course we have to exchange it. One for ten. Just think about it. Your Highness actually made a lot of money!"

"Hey!" Li Hongzhao sneered.

"This originally useless news has now saved the lives of the soldiers of the Great Mongolia. How can the Great Mongolian army not be grateful to Your Highness?"

"..."

"If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again." Chu Zhiyuan said with emotion: "If you don't seize it, Your Highness will regret it for the rest of his life!"

"What do I regret!" "Haha, your highness's ambitions can be seen from a few clues."

"Chu Zhiyuan, your nonsense is getting worse!" Li Hongzhao pouted and said, "I don't want to talk to you."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then we have it settled? One evil sect demon, ten Mongolian soldiers. Of course, if it's the Grandmaster, then it's thirty soldiers. How do you think?"

"Fifty!"

"...I'm just afraid there aren't that many Mongol prisoners." Chu Zhiyuan said.

"No matter how old he is, as long as he is a Mongolian soldier!" said Li Hongzhao.

"Okay, then fifty." Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.

If he was still the original Yuanwailang, he could not make the decision on this matter. He had to consult the Langzhong first, and the Langzhong had to consult the Zuo Shilang.

Now that he is the Left Vice Minister, he can make this decision.

Just tell the Minister, Prince Zhuang.

One evil demon for ten Mongolian soldiers. It may seem that Mongolia has gained the upper hand, but these Mongolian soldiers will lose their combat capability and will be just ordinary people.

It is difficult to say exactly how much damage a demon from an evil sect can cause. It could be one or two, a dozen, or even more.

-

Chu Zhiyuan said goodbye and left.

Li Hongzhao sat motionless at the table, her chin supported by one hand. Her veil had been removed, revealing her beautiful face.

At this moment, her beautiful face was solemn.

Thinking carefully about the verbal confrontation between himself and Chu Zhiyuan, he wondered if he had suffered a loss again, or if Chu Zhiyuan had obtained any secrets from him again.

Su Qiuyan appeared in the house silently.

"Mr. Su, this guy is really weird!" Li Hongzhao asked Su Qiuyan for help: "What can I really see with my eyes?"

"I can't tell." Su Qiuyan said with a smile.

"So he just coaxed me?"

"Does not look like."

"Next time I see him, I really have to wear a veil and not let him see my face."

"Now it seems that it is of little use. Do I really have to cover my eyes?"

"...Damn guy!" Li Hongzhao felt that he was really unlucky to have met such a disaster.

Originally, he thought that with his own methods and the help of the Great Mongolian secret agents and many other forces, he would be able to navigate Yujing City with ease and manipulate Dajing and Dazhen at will.

Finally I met this guy.

You go against yourself everywhere and ruin your own good things.

"Sir, do you think I lost again this time?"

"How can you lose if you get what you want?"

"...That's right." Li Hongzhao immediately showed a charming smile: "If we can get back the Mongolian prisoners, it will be a great thing indeed."

"These Mongol prisoners cannot go to the battlefield again."

"Um--?"

"I have seen ancient records that prisoners who were exchanged had their thumbs cut off so that they could no longer use weapons."

"... Despicable guy!" Li Hongzhao gritted his teeth: "You didn't even think of this, saying that he couldn't be so good!"

Su Qiuyan smiled.

Li Hongzhao thought for a moment and said, "But it doesn't matter. Replacing those people won't increase the military strength by much. The key is the impact on people's hearts and morale."

Su Qiuyan nodded gently: "It will be crucial to enhance your prestige in the army. Your Highness has made a big profit this time!"

Li Hongzhao immediately smiled happily.

The more she thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed.

Obviously this piece of information is useless, but it can bring such benefits. I can say that I have turned decay into magic and turned waste into treasure.
