The emperor's confidence comes from the heavy troops of Xiling that he can mobilize. No matter how powerful Xiao Du is, he is just a human being after all. He can send some people at random, and each of them can kill him with a single sword.

Not wanting to waste time talking to Xiao Du, he waved his hand and took them both down.

Before the Xiling soldiers with weapons raised could get close, a sharp arrow broke through the air from the city wall behind Xiao Du and the others, and without hesitation shot through the neck of the emperor who was giving orders.

Before he died, he looked in disbelief at the man on the city wall who was collecting his bow. The bloody hole on his neck showed his unwillingness. He fell to the ground, staring in the direction of Xiao Du, and died with his eyes open.

The man was suddenly shot dead.

Xiao Du turned around in the direction the arrow came from. On the city wall at the entrance behind them, the Empress of Xiling was standing on it, holding a large bow in her hand. There was no fear of killing on her face, only a desire for power.

Meeting Xiao Du's gaze, the empress put away the bow, and the female official took it respectfully and handed over the handkerchief.

The empress wiped her hands expressionlessly, looked down at the two people under the city wall, and showed a hint of apology: "My little pet is a little spoiled and unruly. I am deeply sorry for being rude to guests who have come from afar."

As he said this, he went down the city wall to greet the two of them.

"There is a banquet in the palace. There is nothing good to offer in this cold and bitter place. If you two do not mind, you can enter the palace for a drink."

The empress had a majestic face and was about the same height as them. She had a sturdy figure, unlike the thin and frail women of other times. With every step she took down from the city wall, it felt like she could kill both of them at any time.

The empress looked respectful and spoke politely, but her fierce eyes and the intimidation from the soldiers around her made it seem as if the two of them would not be able to walk out of here alive if they did not agree to have dinner together.

The empress acted as if she had something to ask for, but she was just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys in an attempt to intimidate the two of them.

But no one is afraid.

It was time for dinner and Jiang Que was hungry.

Hiding behind Xiao Du, he scratched his lower back.

Xiao Du's eyes flashed and he nodded: "Thank you very much for your hospitality, Lord."

Before leaving, Xiao Du took a look at his brother's body.

The empress noticed his look and ordered him to be dragged away.

At the banquet, before Xiao Du took his seat, he saw his dead brother hanging on a flag fluttering in the wind outside, leaving it to be blown by the strong wind.

There was singing and dancing in the palace, and a grand banquet with fine wine and meat.

As long as you look up, you can see the people hanging outside.

Xiao Du really wanted him to die, but he didn't want him to die being insulted by other people like this. This would be a slap in the face of Dayan.

As soon as the banquet started, Xiao Du's face looked very bad.

He didn't kill the person, and he didn't whip the corpse.

The empress also noticed that Xiao Du was unhappy, so she asked someone to quickly take the people who were drying outside down and pack them up and send them to Xiao Du.

Xiao Du didn't want anything anymore, not even the food: "The Lord of Xiling led us here, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Xiao Du was angry, while Jiang Que was busy eating.

Xiao Du wanted to talk about business, so he raised his head from the pile of food.

Xiao Du spoke frankly, and the empress did not beat around the bush.

She had a deal with the previous emperor of Dayan, who was the brother of Xiao Du who had just been killed.

As long as they surrender and pay tribute for three years, their country can submit to Dayan and receive grain from the imperial court.

Five years ago, Da Yan was indeed at its peak. Their country was in a poor location and the people were starving. The only way to survive was to surrender and rely on the great power.

But they finally managed to hold out for five years, as Dayan declined and the emperor who had signed the contract with them ran away.

As the head of a country, she must of course find a solution.

So she took in the escaped emperor in order to lure the new emperor of Dayan to negotiate surrender.

Otherwise, her people would not survive this winter.

I originally wanted to help him kill this bastard to avenge him, and then hang him up to give him some satisfaction.

But look at his expression.

Seems not very satisfied.

Could it be that I look too fierce and I got scared?

But she tried to be gentle.

I didn't even use a sledgehammer to kill people today.

How to do how to do! !

They won’t refuse to recruit him.

She eats very little.

One meal only eats one sheep.
