Chapter 127 - 121: Gathering Information
Zhao Song was already prepared with the food and two boxes—one of jewelry, the other of glass.
The glass items were sent to Wu Castle by Zhao Hanzhang for Zhao Song to sell to wealthy families in Xiping a few days ago.
He brought out the entire box directly.
Cartloads of food were transported out, and Zhao Ming instructed the boxes to be opened so Shi Le could see the jewelry and glass inside.
Shi Le, upon seeing them, couldn’t help but urge his horse forward a few steps, stopping just in front of the drawbridge.
Seeing this, Zhao Hanzhang extended her hand for a glass cup to be handed to her, and then she threw it towards Shi Le.
Shi Le caught it with one hand, playing with it in his palm, "Indeed, the Zhao Family is truly wealthy, to be able to produce so many fine items like this."
"To send General Shi away, I had to show some sincerity."
Noticing the fresh red stain on the cup, Shi Le knew it was Zhao Hanzhang’s palm blood; he smiled slightly, "Actually, there’s another way. We don’t need to fight to the death. If only you all would submit to me..."
Zhao Hanzhang interrupted him, "General Shi, if we could surrender, my uncle would have done so yesterday. Our Zhao’s Fortress held fast with over a thousand lives not to surrender at my end."
