Chapter 933: Finale (2-1)
"What did you say? General Yan is still alive?" Shangguan Yu looked at the disheveled Lord Xu and asked.
The news of Yan Guangmao’s accident was brought back by a secret guard at the risk of his life. After giving the secret guard instructions, he stopped breathing. Shangguan Yu and everyone thought that Yan Guangmao was already dead.
Lord Xu said with a trembling voice, "It’s absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. General Yan isn’t dead yet. He’s still alive."
Originally, he had already left the Great Xia army’s camp. Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped again. Then, he saw Yan Guangmao, who was on his last breath.
Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes. "They want to exchange General Yan for the Empress Dowager of Great Xia?"
Everyone in the Wu Kingdom knew that Yan Guangmao had single-handedly supported him to the throne, but Song Jingchen knew his relationship with Yan Guangmao very well. He knew that he wouldn’t ignore his adoptive father’s life, just like how he knew that Song Jingchen wouldn’t ignore Song Li.
"No, no. He said that he can agree to Your Majesty’s conditions and let General Yan go, but he has to use General to exchange for the opportunity to see the empress dowager of Great Xia and ensure her safety. He also..." In the cold winter, Lord Xu broke out in a sweat. "Your Majesty even has to personally appear and promise in front of everyone in the world that you will immediately let the empress dowager of Great Xia go after he retreats with his army. If Your Majesty doesn’t agree, not only will he not retreat, but he will also let General Yan and our Wu Kingdom die with the empress dowager of Great Xia."
I can retreat, but you have to show some sincerity. Otherwise, how can you make me believe that you’ll keep your promise and let the empress dowager go after I retreat? That was the meaning behind this bargain.
