The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning nodded: "It seems that someone from Qinghe County wants to talk to us."

"Let's go and have a look."

"My lord, wait a minute. I have already sent people into Shu. Wu Zhu will be brought to Bashan soon. You just wait here. It will be convenient for you to take care of the lady." Nie Nan was very thoughtful.

Guan Ning was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I'm really taking over the show."

"No!"

"How can you say that you are usurping the throne? Without you, there would be no Bashan. Including me, the people of Bashan all believe that the lord can lead us to a better life!" Nie Nan said loudly.

Guan Ning felt mixed emotions. For someone who trusted him so much, he had to be more careful.

"it is good!"

"..."

At dusk, Guan Ning took care of the child and went to visit Cao Ziyan again. She was still sleeping and no one knew when she would wake up.

Finally, Wu Zhu arrived.

Guan Ning, Nie Nan, including the top leaders of the nine tribes of Bashan, and people from Liusha were all present, filling up the entire meeting hall, giving it a feeling of "Wagangzhai".

"arrive."

The people from Bashan untied the black cloth covering Wu Zhu's eyes.

Wu Zhu squinted his eyes to adjust to the strong light, and the first thing he saw was Guan Ning sitting in the main seat, and Nie Nan sitting on the side seat.

He was not a relative like Mu Zhen, but a general who had fought in the battlefield. He could sense at a glance that the people standing behind Guan Ning were unusual, and even gave him a sense of danger.

"General Wu, I didn't expect you to come so soon." Guan Ning said with a smile.

"Mr. Ning Fei, Chief of the Nie clan." Wu Zhu saluted without any hostility, only politeness and composure.

"Tell me, what does your boss say?" Guan Ning went straight to the point.

Guan Ning immediately took the initiative. Wu Zhu's plan to exchange a few pleasantries and test the waters fell through. He moved his lips and finally said.

"Mr. Ning Fei, to be honest, General He has long heard of you two. When our army first arrived in Qinghe County, the general wanted to make friends with you, but he was too busy with military duties."

Hearing this, Guan Ning and Nie Nan looked at each other and almost vomited. Did they really hear about your name for a long time?

"Ahem, then just tell me straight away, what did General He say about the compensation?"

Wu Zhu remained calm and composed, saying, "Talk!"

"Everything is negotiable."

"General He wants to host a banquet in Qinghe County and invite you two to come over for a chat to resolve the conflict."

As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting hall immediately exploded.

"You can't trust them!"

"These Xiliang people are dishonest. They said they wouldn't harm the common people, but now who knows how many people have been slaughtered by them!"

"that is!"

"They just want to trick Master Guan and the clan leader into going to their territory so they can control them!"

"Absolutely not!" All the people from the nine tribes of Bashan expressed strong opposition.

Wu Zhu frowned and immediately explained: "Everyone, don't worry, the general will make this matter public. If our army takes action, it will be a laughing stock, and..."

"Are the Xiliang rebels still afraid of being laughed at?" someone retorted.

Wu Zhu's face suddenly turned ugly, and there was anger in his eyes, but he didn't know how to show it.

At this time, Guan Ning stood up and paced back and forth, saying, "My condition is food compensation, but you want me to go to Qinghe County to negotiate. Isn't this irrelevant?"

"I reiterate once again, I will not release those captives unless you compensate me for Shu."

Wu Zhu also came prepared and said directly: "The general said that you don't have to release Mu Zhen and other prisoners for the time being. Once we have negotiated and become friends, everything will be fine."

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he understood the other party's intention to win him over. This was also what he expected. After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

But it was impossible for him to join forces with the Xiliang rebels.

"No."

"Compensation first, and we'll talk about the rest later." He said calmly and firmly.

Wu Zhu frowned and said, "Master Ning, my general said that everything can be negotiated. Compensation is not a problem, but I must ask you and the clan leader to do me the honor of attending the banquet."
