Finally, Yang Zhao walked out of the Yingbin Hall under the persuasion of Shaodianyong and Xuanyuanxiong.
Zhenjing City's attitude towards the Yang family has been very obvious, and they will not let the Yang family go if they let anyone go.
"Then let me talk about the king's kindness..." Ding Kui began to sell his peace negotiation plan.
In fact, Shaodianyong and others no longer had any hope of defeating the imperial army, and were waiting for some unexpected turn of events.
Peace talks are a turning point.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if they continue to fight, the imperial army will break through Xingbang City sooner or later. In a sense, the peace talks are a blessing.
However, the crime of treason has rarely been forgiven since ancient times. No one is willing to drag down a family to ruin. Even if some people are sacrificed, the foundation of the family must be preserved.
"The crime of treason is unavoidable, but I think many people are coerced." Ding Kui deliberately stopped here.
The three princes Xuanyuan Xiong, Yao Ai and Fan Yu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. What should come will come.
When they heard that Ding Kui was coming for peace talks, they guessed that it was a tactic similar to encircling three buildings, deliberately giving them a way out to undermine their will to resist and divide their groups.
But they didn't expect that Ding Kui would be so generous, only to get rid of the chief culprit, and let everyone else go.
"Of course there are people and families who have been coerced. I just don't know what it means to be liquidated slowly." Xuanyuan Xiong represented the indigenous nobles and had to be cautious.
"Those who have done many evil things with blood on their hands must be handed over, and even if they are not killed, they will be imprisoned for a long time, otherwise the people will not be angry; except for the charge of treason, those who are not guilty of death will be given the opportunity to make meritorious service, which will be used to reduce the punishment. Of course, it is very controversial.
We need to discuss it separately, and let's work together to find a solution, and strive to be acceptable to most people." Ding Kui expressed his attitude.
This leaves a relatively large amount of room for flexibility, and a large family has a lot of room for change.
"Everyone is here. As a junior, I will tell you the truth. It is definitely necessary to seize titles and fiefdoms. At most, the ancestral temple will be left behind. However, whether it can be restored in the future will be considered by the Senate at its discretion."
Ding Kui eliminates the punishment of never being reused and brings hope to powerful families.
The Ruan family is a living example. They are also treasonous and will never be used again. In fact, after years of precipitation, they can change their appearance and start over again, which will do more good than harm to the kingdom.
Xuanyuan Xiong, Yao Ai and Fan Yu looked at each other again and reached a consensus with their eyes.
"Please my king think more about it."
They had a tacit understanding with Shaodian Yong. If they could talk, they would agree with the imperial envoy on the next meeting time, and they would discuss it in private.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Protector. This is a serious matter, so Rong Gu should think about it carefully. I will hold a reception luncheon in the afternoon, so please be kind to Lord Protector."
Shaodianyong supported the peace talks in his heart. The descendants of the Shaodian family did not have as many concerns as other nobles. His father could die for his family back then, and so can he now.
However, there are still many nobles in the city who risk annihilation to rebel against him, so he must speak to them before making a decision.
Ding Kui was not in a hurry, he could afford to wait for a few days, so he got up to say goodbye and returned to the military camp.
The three of them came out of the city and found Yang Kuai guarding the outside of the military camp.
"I just want to talk to Ding Kui." Yang Kui was afraid that Gui Jing would misunderstand.
"The Grand Leader and the Second Leader named Ding Kui for his great contribution to the human race. You should consider it carefully." Gui Jing dropped these words and left.
He was not worried about Ding Kui's safety here. Unless Yang Kui blew himself up, he would not be able to kill Ding Kui instantly. Both he and Zhe Taixuan had time to rescue him.
When Ding Kui landed, he spread his fighting wings and flapped them, showing that he had the ability to self-destruct.
"No matter what your level of cultivation is, if I am determined to die, can you and the Ding family guard against it?" Yang Kuai opened the skylight and said frankly, "I just ask you, how do you want to deal with the Yang family?"
The threats were thick and unconcealed, and he would drag the entire Ding family to back him up even if he died.
"It's not what I want to do to the Yang family, but what do you want to do to the Ding family? It was your Yang family who went to Funiu Village to kill me, right?" Ding Kui looked directly into Yang Kuai's eyes.
A trace of surprise flashed across Yang Kuai's face.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that the little baby back then would become a hero!"
His laughter was full of desolation.
"I have been called a genius since I was a child, and I have always been praised as the hope of my family's future. Unfortunately, there are people outside the family who are forced to be beaten by Shao Dianhuan. But he relies on his good ancestors, and I don't accept it!"
"After that, I chose to be patient and learn to plan things behind the scenes, because I wanted to do something big, and the Ding family was the biggest stumbling block on my way to success."
Ding Kui didn't interrupt because he knew this was an explanation from Yang Kui.
"I just want a chance to be promoted to the God of War, but the Shaodian family will never give it to me, and your Ding family is the knife in their hands."
"You are already a legendary knight. You should not be thirty years old yet. It won't be long before you understand my feelings. When the time comes, you also want the same opportunity. Guess whether the Shaodian family will give it to you?"
"I lost this game because I didn't get over the stumbling block. The loss was not hard enough. You have to remember it clearly!"
"The Yang family will give you an explanation for the Ding family's affairs, but no matter how cruel I am, I will never destroy your ancestral temple, nor take action against your children, nor kill them all. The royal family is our common enemy."
At this point, Yang Kui's tone softened and he wanted to make a deal with Ding Kui.
Gui Jing's beating made him understand that Ding Kui was difficult to deal with and could involve the entire Yang family if he was not careful. Legendary knights were difficult to kill, and the Yang family could not offend legendary knights with backing.
Gui Jing is an eighth-level venerable with a backing, so he can slap another eighth-level venerable Yang Kuai in the face in public. The only fault is that there is no ninth-level divine throne behind Yang Kuai.
Assuming that the person blocking the road was Ning Huang, Gui Jing would not dare to say that he had destroyed the Zhixin Palace. The Zhixin Palace with its ninth-level divine throne would not be so easy to destroy.
"Yes, I am the sword of the royal family. You should know who is holding the sword. I have no intention of killing all the Yang family."
Ding Kui saw that Yang Kui didn't seem to believe it, so he explained: "If we continue to fight, will my Ding family members be killed? Can Xingbang City be defended? Where can the Yang family escape? Of course, you can choose the Thousand Island Alliance."
"That's right!" Yang Kuai's eyes lit up, "The Yang family withdrew from Shaodian Kingdom and only wanted to leave a branch to guard the ancestral temple."
"This price is not small. Think about it. Half the kingdom was destroyed and the military expenses were incurred."
"The Yang family's ancestral temple is dedicated to people who have contributed to the kingdom. It has nothing to do with us unworthy descendants. The Yang family's territory can also be worth a lot. In this way, I will ask Yang Zhao to surrender tomorrow. What will it cost you and him?
Let’s talk.” Yang Kuai gave in first.
His plan failed, and someone had to be handed over to bear the consequences. Sacrificing Yang Zhao was a helpless move.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Zhenjing City." Ding Kui didn't dare to push Yang Kui too hard.
After all, he is an epic knight. You can't kill the Yang family before subduing him. A crazy epic knight can cause irreparable damage.
