Xiao Tong fully displayed his arrogance in front of Jiang Chen.

In the depression below the two of them, dozens of soldiers wrapped in mud were shivering in the bone-chilling wind.

They are soldiers from Qishan and are now prisoners of war in Beiyan. Another reason why Xiao Tong wants to meet Jiang Chen at this place is to let Jiang Chen see these prisoners of war.

"This time my Beiyan army marched southward and was invincible. Daqian's army was as vulnerable as cotton! There are thousands of prisoners of war captured in your camp alone. I can't feed you with so many mouths that need food. Get them up."

"If the Daqian court still wants to get them back, it must honestly meet the conditions for peace talks we proposed. If not, just wait to collect the bodies."

Jiang Chen saw these Qishan disciples who had become prisoners of war, huddled in a circle in the mud one by one. Their expressions were stagnant and their eyes were dim. For them, life and death were just time.

When Jiang Chen entered Qishan, he had seen the majestic, heroic and mighty appearance of these Qishan cavalry, but what he saw now was a heart-wrenching scene.

"They are my soldiers of Dagan, but they are also a shame to Dagan. Do you think the court will pay compensation and cede territory for these abandoned sons who were defeated in the war?"

Jiang Chen's slightly pale face showed a faint smile.

Xiao Tong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't figure out why Jiang Chen reacted like this. Logically speaking, after seeing his compatriots silently waiting to die in such a desperate situation, his reaction should have been very violent.

"Don't look at me like this. Don't forget that I'm just an ordinary citizen. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't bother to come to this damn place. You don't really think that I'm thinking about national justice, gains and losses, honor and disgrace, right? ?”

Xiao Tong looked at Jiang Chen's indifferent and mean look, and his teeth itched with hatred.

Putting himself in his shoes, if he was the person currently facing such a situation, then he would definitely fight to the death for these compatriots who were suffering and in danger, so he looked down upon bastards like Jiang Chen even more.

Even the enemy will look down upon such a person who is indifferent to the life and death of his compatriots!

"But don't forget that you are now the envoy sent by Emperor Daqian for peace talks. At that time, I clearly warned you in the main hall that unless all eighteen conditions are fulfilled, I, Beiyan, will not accept the peace talks. of!"

"Aren't you, the old emperor, eagerly awaiting the end of the war in the north? If you can't do this, you will be dead if you go back!"

Xiao Tong thought that by showing the benefits in this way, Jiang Chen would panic. Unfortunately, he still didn't understand Jiang Chen well enough, which made him look more like an old woman who only cares about carrots and cares less.

Jiang Chen spread his hands and said helplessly: "If you hadn't framed me, I should be staying comfortably in Jinyang City drinking, listening to music, and visiting brothels. Besides, no one in the court expected me to negotiate a deal. What will be the result?"

"If an ordinary person like me can accomplish such a big thing, doesn't it mean that all the civil and military officials in the court are incompetent and useless?"

Jiang Chen's words were straightforward and realistic, and Xiao Tong was unable to refute them.

He suddenly realized a problem. He had previously thought of letting this commoner with no fame and honor as an envoy for peace talks. Although it could relieve his anger, it would not be of any help to the negotiations between the two countries.

How can a small character like Jiang Chen represent Da Gan?

Now I am afraid that even within Dagan, this negotiation is meaningless, but it can actually buy them some time. Thinking of this, Xiao Tong feels depressed and even more fed up with Jiang Chen in front of him!

No, maybe it’s not that simple!

A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Tong's mind. When he was at the Jinyang City Post House, didn't this bastard stand up for the people of the city and deliberately set him up?

Since Jiang Chen said that he didn't care about national justice, then why did he want to be the one who stood out?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tong laughed proudly, "Jiang Chen, you are very cunning, I almost got fooled by you."

"Oh? What are you speculating about again?" Jiang Chen's eyes did not look at those people in the depression except for the first glance.

Xiao Tong said to him: "You deliberately emphasized that you don't care about the life and death of these people, but you just want to induce me to think that you Daqian really don't care about the prisoners of war."

"Once I am deceived, I will think that these prisoners of war cannot be used as bargaining chips in negotiations with the Daqian court. But after losing these bargaining chips, you can calmly mediate to achieve your goals!"

There was no emotion on Jiang Chen's face, and Xiao Tong couldn't see any embarrassment after having his mind exposed. The two of them were competing overtly and covertly, but so far, Xiao Tong, who clearly had a huge psychological advantage, actually I felt helpless towards Jiang Chen.

"Xiao Tong, I admire your imagination very much, but I'm not interested in what you think. All in all, my words have been brought to you. The whole Daqian can't give two thousand horses to Beiyan, so give up on this idea."

"stop!"

When Xiao Tong saw that Jiang Chen was about to leave, he immediately shouted in a hurry: "Don't try to deceive me! In Jinyang City, you tried your best to seize the Beiyan flag and save the face of the whole city. Your Everything you have done has revealed that you are not a person without any feelings for family and country."

"Am I right?"

Jiang Chen replied: "So that's what you thought. It's really ridiculous."

"Remember the girl standing next to me at that time? I fell in love with her at first sight and have been in love with her for a long time. At that time, I just had no choice but to show my skills in front of her and take this opportunity to win her heart."

"It turns out you misunderstood me. I'm really sorry."

Jiang Chen's explanation was natural, but in fact he had a flash of inspiration and used Shen Xueying as a temporary cover-up. The truth behind his various statements just now was all guessed by Xiao Tong. This person is indeed a very difficult opponent.

But Jiang Chen just made nonsense. He knew that Xiao Tong didn't trust him, but there was no way to prove that what he said was false.

At this point, the psychological game between two people often only lasts for a moment.

There was also pressure on Xiao Tong. Although the Northern Yan army was unstoppable and achieved great results, they had to face huge obstacles if they continued to raise troops south.

If they can obtain exciting benefits from this peace negotiation, the Beiyan court may not be willing to accept it as soon as they agree, but if the envoys of Daqian who come to negotiate with them have no intention of promoting peace talks, they are just showing off. What about bad?
