Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

"But if you hadn't plotted against my father and feigned an attack on Xuzhou, why would my father have attacked you?"

Lu Lingqi stubbornly insisted.

“Mi Zhen is my wife, and the Mi family is my wife’s maternal family. Your father wants to kill my wife’s maternal family members. Tell me, should I save them or not?”

Zhou Heng countered with a question.

"Finally... your father sent eight thousand troops to attack me. I only have some old, weak and disabled soldiers. How could I be a match for your father? Naturally, I had to rely on other forces."

"I've said it before, I'm not interested in Xuzhou."

"If you agree, then agree; if you don't, then forget it. Anyway, whether you're here or not, your father can't break in."

"I just didn't want to go through all that trouble."

"While fighting against Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, you also had to scheme against your father."

Zhou Heng said calmly.

"Well... I have one last question. What if you don't withdraw from Xiapi after a year?"

Lu Lingqi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Do you think everyone is as fickle and unreliable as your father?"

"Moreover, a year from now, all six counties of Xuzhou will probably be in your father's hands."

"If I were to go back on my word, with the strength of your father's troops, taking Xiapi wouldn't be particularly difficult."

Zhou Heng said.

"Okay, I promise you."

After thinking for a moment, Lü Lingqi finally nodded.

Although the other party's analogy made her a little angry, what did he mean by going back on his word like my father?

That's a terrible analogy.

"Since that's the case, I'll order you to be released in a moment. Also, don't even think about taking me hostage and fighting your way out of Xiapi. You know your stepmother is still in my hands, and you know how much your father values ​​her. Besides, if you really dare to do that, I guarantee you'll die a horrible death. Our current relationship is one where cooperation benefits both sides, and fighting means defeat for you. Think it over carefully..."

Lü Lingqi: "........."

Lü Lingqi was getting a little frantic.

For some reason, she always felt that the person in front of her had predicted all of her predictions.

Even her own idea of ​​kidnapping him to break through the encirclement was exposed by him in a single sentence.

This person happens to look about the same age as me.

However, in terms of cunning, wisdom, eloquence, and ability, they are far superior to me.

It was as if she was completely suppressed by him.

This involuntarily aroused her a sense of displeasure, as well as a faint curiosity.

.............

However, Zhou Heng ignored her meaning and, after persuading her, immediately turned around and left the room.

Then he walked towards Diao Chan's room.

No man is not curious about this one of the four great beauties in history.

Even Zhou Heng was no exception.

The reason they were kept in the city for a year was, besides threatening Lü Bu.

Of course, I had my own little thoughts and desires.

After a while.

In the next room, a stunningly beautiful woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties was sitting on the bed curtains, lost in thought.

She was graceful and elegant, with a face as beautiful as a peach blossom in spring dew, eyebrows like distant mountains and furrowed brows, and eyes that seemed to hold the falling stars. Her beauty was so stunning that it could make any man in the world fall in love with her.

Even without making any movement, she was still like the most beautiful flower in spring, with skin as white as snow, and under the moonlight, she had an even more hazy beauty. Her lips were red without any makeup, and when she smiled, it was like a gentle breeze brushing across the lake, creating intoxicating ripples. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Even Zhou Heng, who had met Mi Zhen, Lü Lingqi, and even experienced so many action blockbusters in later generations, was still a figure of great influence.

He couldn't help but shudder violently.

"Squeak."

The sound of the door opening seemed to startle the stunning beauty, who slowly raised her eyes.

Those eyes, as bright as starlight, still carried a faint sadness.

It hurts people.

"Meet the general."

Compared to Lü Lingqi, Diao Chan was much more mature without wings.

At least when they fall into the hands of others, they won't shout or yell, let alone insult the other party.

"Does the general wish for a young woman to serve him in bed?"

However, although she did not utter any insults or display any fierceness like Lü Lingqi.

But the very first sentence was a bombshell.

"If I say yes, what will you do, Madam?"

Zhou Heng asked curiously.

"I am but a woman, powerless to even kill a chicken, and naturally I have no power to resist."

"But the only thing that will accompany the general is a corpse."

Diao Chan said slowly.

"It's good while it's hot," Zhou Heng's lips twitched, and for some reason, he thought of that phrase.

Fortunately, I didn't say it out loud.

He composed himself and said.

"Madam, you misunderstand. I am here to cooperate with you."

Diao Chan asked in surprise, "Cooperation?"

Zhou Heng: "Not bad."

Diao Chan: "I have never heard of cooperating with prisoners who have fallen into our hands before."

Zhou Heng: "Haven't we heard about it now?"

Diao Chan: "How does the general wish to cooperate?"

Zhou Heng: "Be my woman, or I'll kill Lü Lingqi."

Diao Chan: "???"

Three big question marks immediately appeared on Diao Chan's forehead.

Diao Chan was stunned.

No, that's not what you were talking about with Lü Lingqi next door.

That's right, she had actually overheard Zhou Heng and Lü Lingqi's conversation a long time ago.

After all, it's right next door.

As those who know about ancient rooms understand, they generally had virtually no soundproofing.

That's why she behaved the way she did.

Because she already felt that she knew what the other person was thinking, that they wanted to protect her, and that controlling the other person was not an easy task.

But... this script wasn't being played out the right way.

"Why does Miss Diaochan seem so surprised? Or perhaps she lacks confidence in her own beauty?"

Zhou Heng said calmly.

"You...but..."

Diao Chan was at a loss, completely unsure how to answer.

Zhou Heng completely disrupted the mental preparations that she had made.

"But what? Doesn't it feel completely different from what I told Lü Lingqi before?"

"It's not what you thought before either?"

Diao Chan nodded blankly: "Mmm."

"Hehe, that's because you don't know how beautiful you are. Since you know what I'm thinking, you should also know that I'm just afraid of trouble. Actually, whether I cooperate with Lü Bu or not doesn't have much to do with me."

"Besides, I have already reached a cooperation agreement with Lü Lingqi, so why would I need to cooperate with Madam?"

"Her cooperation is her cooperation, and your cooperation is your cooperation."

"And now I'm asking you, Madam, to be my woman or I'll kill Lü Lingqi. This is our cooperation."

"I wonder if Madam agrees?"
