The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 147 The Son is a Villain 16

After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Xuan took off his armor and decided to take a group of his trusted subordinates to Huangwu County.

If even 200,000 elites can't defeat them, then the remaining people will have no chance of winning.

Wanqi Xiao is young, but he has an extraordinary mind and extraordinary strength, so he cannot defeat him head-on.

The emperor's expectations seemed unlikely to be realized, but even so, he had to go ahead with it.

All nine clans in his family are in the imperial city. If he makes any move, all nine clans will be destroyed.

The same went for the other subordinates. Just to be on the safe side, their clansmen and wives and children were left behind on this expedition.

Wanqi Xiao watched through his spiritual sense as Chen Xuan took off his armor and rode forward with some soldiers, and he also knew his plan.

He knew in his heart that the negotiation with Chen Xuan would be a tough battle.

Chen Xuan is a general loyal to the royal family, and it is not easy to make him betray the royal family.

The Chen family has been in the military for generations, and it can be said that their family holds up half of the Tianqi Kingdom’s army.

But Wanqi Xiao was not unprepared. He was well aware of the weaknesses of human nature and understood that in this game of power, interests were sometimes more real than loyalty.

When Chen Xuan and his party arrived in Huangwu County, Wanqi Xiao had been waiting for a long time.

He greeted Chen Xuan with a smile and was very polite, without showing any neglect because of Chen Xuan's status.

Although Chen Xuan had a blank expression on his face, his eyes revealed his vigilance towards Wanqi Xiao.

"General Chen, I have long heard of your name. I invited you here this time because I want to discuss our future plans." Wanqi Xiao said calmly.

Chen Xuan did not respond immediately, but just looked at Wanqi Xiao in silence.

He knew Wanqi Xiao's intentions and the importance of this negotiation.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "Grandson, you and I have different positions, what can we talk about?"

Wanqi Xiao smiled gently, "General Chen, we are both from Tianqi. You call me the emperor's grandson, which means you recognize my identity. Now we are just going in different directions. I don't want you to betray the royal family and the country, but I want to invite you to work together to seek a better future for the people of Tianqi."

Chen Xuan frowned, "Is the emperor's grandson trying to incite me to rebellion?"

"No, I just want to ask General Chen to see the situation clearly. The emperor of Tianqi Kingdom is incompetent and the people are suffering. If you and I join forces, we may be able to create a new situation." Wanqi Xiao said in a firm tone.

Chen Xuan's heart was in turmoil. It's not that he had never thought about betraying the royal family, but he also knew what that meant.

Family honor and loyalty hold a high place in his heart.

"Let me think about it." Chen Xuan said in a deep voice.

Wanqi Xiao smiled and nodded, "I'll give the general some time to think about it. I just hope the general can make a wise choice."

After the negotiation, Chen Xuan fell into deep thought.

He was fully aware of the importance of this decision and knew that no matter what choice he made, it would come at a huge price.

The honor and loyalty of the family, the fate of the country and the well-being of the people are intertwined in his heart, making it difficult for him to make a decision.

Wanqi Xiao did not urge Chen Xuan to make a decision, as he understood the complexity and fragility of human nature.

He waited for Chen Xuan's response, and at the same time was prepared to deal with any eventuality.

This game of thrones has just begun, and no one knows how it will end.

"General, since you are here today, why don't you take a look at Huangwu County, which I govern?"

Wanqi Xiao didn't mind showing his army to Chen Xuan, and he personally didn't mind letting him see the living conditions of the people in Huangwu County.

Nowadays, the people of the entire Huangwu County live a rich and comfortable life, with food and drink and no worries in life.

The entire army is well-trained and well-stocked with food and fodder. The key is that not only are the soldiers paid well, but their families are also well taken care of.

"Would you like to show these to me?"

Chen Xuan was somewhat shocked and completely unable to understand.

Wanqi Xiao smiled faintly, a smile full of confidence and even a little arrogance.

"Why not? If General Chen is willing to join my army in the future, then you will enjoy all of this as well."

"please."

Wanqi Xiao gestured to invite them in and took Chen Xuan to visit the streets of Huangwu County, then the resettlement city for refugees, and then the garrison of a hundred thousand troops.

Chen Xuan looked at everything in front of him and believed 90% of the legend about the white dragon possessing him.

"General Chen, I know that a loyal minister will not serve two masters, but as a member of the royal family, it is not considered betrayal for you to serve me."

After Wanqi Xiao showed Chen Xuan everything, they sat in the attic, mixed a cup of tea, and continued to persuade him slowly.

"But……"

Wanqi Xiao smiled faintly and said, "General, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. If I can solve it, then it will be done, right?"

Chen Xuan thought about it again and again and expressed his concerns.

"All my nine clans are in the Imperial City. Not only me, but also the people behind me. If we make any move, all nine clans will be destroyed within a day."

Wanqi Xiao had also speculated on this reason. For those in a higher position, controlling hostages is the best way to control a person.

"This is all a small matter. You can list all the people from your nine clans, and I can reunite you tonight."

The people who came with Chen Xuan were deeply moved after seeing the entire Huangwu County. If Wanqi Xiao could really do this, it would not be impossible for them to work for Wanqi Xiao here.

Before coming here, everyone had heard that Wanqi Xiao was possessed by a white dragon and recognized by heaven, so when he said this, no one would doubt it.

"Then I will wait here for good news."

Chen Xuan drank the tea in his hand.

Wanqi Xiao turned around and left to find Chao Yao.

Others may not be able to handle such things, but your mother can definitely handle it.

In this world, the only person he trusts the most is Chao Yao.

Chao Yao was processing various lists of supplies at this time. Many soldiers were injured in this battle and they were in urgent need of medicine.

As someone who used to be a doctor, fortunately all military doctors had received expedited training, so I was able to handle this matter with ease.

"Mom, you have to help me."

Wanqi Xiao rushed to Chaoyao's studio and started shaking Chaoyao's arm coquettishly without saying a word.

Wanqi Xiao is mature and calm in front of outsiders, but he is always a child in front of Chao Yao.

"Xiao'er, what's the matter?"

"Mother, Chen Xuan brought his men to negotiate with me. In fact, I feel that he came here to surrender, but they are currently facing a big difficulty, that is, all the people of their nine clans are in the imperial city. Mother, please help me go to the imperial city and bring all the nine clans here. Is that okay? Mother~"
