Ninth Princess' words were like a needle, instantly tingling Shen Qiye's nerves.
Outside there are 300,000 troops from the Three Kingdoms, Shen Chunhua and other 8,000 elites are on a life-and-death front, the city wall is under constant fire, and Temujin and the others are beside Shen Qiye.
This seems to be a complete assassination plan to eliminate Shen Qiye and break the Yanmen Pass.
Sword God Li Taibai and the masters of the Shen family subconsciously held down their weapons, ready to strike with thunder as if facing a powerful enemy.
Everyone in the Shen family was full of murderous intent, and the masters from Jin Buyi and Iron Wood also tensed up their nerves.
Even Lin Suyi, who had been silent, stopped spinning the beads in her hand.
After all, this is the territory of the Shen family. If Shen Qiye gets hot-headed, it is easy for Temujin to be harmed.
When Wu Yuanjia and Princess Zile saw this, their eyelids jumped, and they instinctively moved back several meters to make room.
Feeling that the war was about to break out, Temujin waved his hands and shouted:
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive at all!"
"Shuai Shen, Mrs. Shen, listen to me!"
"Before yesterday, I did have the idea of killing Commander Shen and destroying the Shen family."
"I have always regarded you, Commander Shen, as a stumbling block, so I want to eradicate you and unify the Xia Kingdom."
"This is also the reason why I teamed up with the Ninth Princess and the others to invade Yanmen Pass."
"But after Tiemu Wuyue's betrayal and Ye Aniu's mischief, I have realized the serious mistake I had made."
"Compared with the benefits that come from killing each other, the unity of family and country is more important to the outside world."
"Especially Ye Aniu's attempt to cripple us and divide the Xia Kingdom this time, let me know that we can no longer fight among ourselves like before."
"Otherwise, foreigners like Ye A Niu will sooner or later kill us all and occupy the Xia Kingdom."
"So I can assure you, Commander Shen and Mrs. Shen, that I have absolutely no murderous intentions towards Commander Shen and the Shen family."
"If I even make the slightest move to hurt Shuai Shen, you can chop off my head at any time."
Temujin's words were not only righteous and awe-inspiring, but also sincere, which made Shen Qiye and his wife relax a lot.
Shen Chuge, who had been standing behind Shen Qiye, stood up and shouted to Temujin in a hoarse voice:
"If you don't want to destroy our Shen family, then what's the big deal if the Ninth Princess cripples Shen Chunhua and the others?"
"What's going on with the three hundred thousand enemy troops from the Three Kingdoms arriving at the gate of Yanmenguan City?"
"If you don't want to hurt my father or the Shen family, then tell Ninth Princess and the others to go back."
She complained angrily: "You shouted that you didn't want to hurt us, but in the end your fiancée killed thousands of us with ease."
Many members of the Shen family also stared at Temujin with sharp eyes.
Temujin took a long breath and looked at Shen Qiye to explain:
"I don't know yet about the Ninth Princess and the others' attack on Shen Chunhua."
"But I will ask someone to contact the Ninth Princess and the others immediately and clarify the matter to Shuai Shen and you guys."
"Don't worry, Commander Shen, I, Tiemujin, will pay double compensation for your losses."
Temujin patted his chest and assured: "Marshal Wu and Princess Zile can testify."
Then Xia Qiuye bit her lips slightly, looked at the screen on the wall and said:
"Mr. Tiemu, we will discuss the attack on Shen Chunhua later. The most important thing now is for the Ninth Princess and the others to retreat as soon as possible."
"The overpressing force of 300,000 coalition troops will not only cause countless casualties to the soldiers defending the city, but will also frighten the people of Yanmen Pass."
"If they don't retreat quickly, the 600,000 Yanmenguan people will try their best to escape."
Xia Qiuye fell to the ground and said: "Hurry up and tell the Ninth Princess and the others to retreat immediately!"
On the screen, the armies of the Three Kingdoms temporarily stopped and did not attack again, but they were still making arrangements and adjusting the best angle of attack.
Countless heavy artillery were also pushed forward and entered positions at various levels.
There is no doubt that after three hours, if Yanmen cannot be closed, Ninth Princess and the others will really break in.
Shen Qiye also nodded: "Master Tiemu, I am willing to believe you, but I also hope that you will quickly let the foreign troops retreat."
After gaining the trust of Shen Qiye and his wife, Temujin breathed a sigh of relief:
"Okay, I'll settle this matter right away."
"But this is not a place to stay for a long time. The north gate is too close to the Xiongguo people and they can easily be accidentally bombed if not careful."
Temujin wanted to stay away from the North Gate: "Let's quickly retreat to Edinburgh."
Xia Qiuye and the others looked at the foreign troops so close on the screen, as well as Shen Chunhua and the defenders who were constantly fighting, and they all nodded.
They told Astro Boy to guard the north gate and quickly got into the helicopter.
Ten minutes later, Shen Qiye and Temujin roared back to the impregnable Edinburgh.
When the lights in the multifunctional conference room came on, the East Wolf, the South Eagle, the West Python and the North Leopard were also recalled to standby.
"Dududu——"
In a conference room far away from the battlefield, Temujin took a satellite phone and made a series of calls.
He called Princess Ninth, but was refused communication.
He called Xiang Liancheng, but was still refused communication.
He also called Haba, and the call went through, but the fat man shouted to open the door immediately, otherwise he would block the door with a hundred Bentleys.
Temujin had no choice but to call his father who was far away in Switzerland and asked his father to use his connections to communicate with the bear owner.
Only half an hour later, Temu Cihua called back.
After hearing this, Temujin's face turned gloomy.
Seeing this, Xia Qiuye asked: "Master Tiemu, what's the situation? When will the Ninth Princess and the others withdraw?"
Temujin sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face:
"Shuai Shen, Mrs. Shen, I'm sorry."
"Ninth Princess and the others will not retreat!"
"And we must hand over Yanmen Pass before twelve o'clock, otherwise the 300,000 coalition troops will storm Yanmen Pass."
Temujin squeezed out a sentence: "No matter what, they will occupy this city before dawn."
"What?"
"Not retreating?"
"Hand over Yanmen Pass?"
When Shen Qiye, Xia Qiuye and others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
Everyone looked at Temujin in shock: "Why?"
Temujin no longer concealed anything and told the matter directly:
"Ninth Princess and the others have been out for a long time this time, and they have spent a lot of money and manpower on this."
"The voice of resentment in the country is getting more and more intense, and they need a victory and a record to appease the people's emotions."
"Ninth Princess and the others decided to take Yanmen Pass and explain to the people."
"No matter how I communicate with them, they are determined to get Yanmen Pass."
"My father communicated with the Bear Master, Elephant Master and Wolf Master to no avail."
"They said they would not accept your orders from the emperor!"
Having said this, Temujin looked at Shen Qiye and others and said: "Shuai Shen, Mrs. Shen, please hand over Yanmen Pass..."
"Hand over Yanmen Pass?"
Shen Qiye's face turned cold: "Master Tiemu, do you know what you are talking about?"
Xia Qiuye echoed: "Master Tiemu, once we cross Yanmenguan, Qiye and the Shen family will have nothing."
Facing Shen Qiye's coldness and anger, Temujin's face didn't show much emotion.
Ye Fan's analysis at Wangbei Teahouse allowed him to understand Shen Qiye's psychology.
"Shuai Shen, Mrs. Shen, of course I know what I'm talking about."
"Don't worry, the Ninth Princess and the others occupied Yanmen Pass just for show. They will stay there for ten and a half days and explain to the people before they retreat."
"Nowadays, the era of occupying land and cities has long passed. They will leave after getting some benefits."
"As for the Shen family's losses, I will come and I, Tiemujin, will compensate."
"I will return all Guangcheng and Tianbei Province to you."
"Exchanging Yanmen Pass for Tianbei Province is a huge advantage for the Shen family."
"I will now order the Ironwood Army to clear the way and Guangcheng, and let Commander Shen and you lead the border troops to garrison."
Temujin pointed his finger at Tianbei Province: "All expenses during the period will be borne by the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce!"
Xia Qiuye's pretty face turned cold, and she stared at Temujin and reminded:
"This northern province belongs to us, and Master Tiemu has promised to return it to us tonight."
"Now Mr. Tiemu has traded Tianbei Province and Guangcheng for Yanmen Pass. Isn't this too perfunctory and insincere?"
She also added: "And the value of Yanmen Pass is not comparable to that of Guangcheng and others."
