When Jin Yuchen finished reading the contract written in black and white in his hand, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength and fell down on the table.
"Sign it now!"
Yuan Ruiguang looked at Jin Yuchen indifferently and said without a doubt.
Jin Yuchen nodded silently, picked up a pen, wrote his name on the treaty, and put his fingerprint on it.
The other princes of the four countries also signed their names and pressed their fingerprints on their respective treaties.
After the five princes signed the contract, Yuan Ruiguang and Yu Wenyao finally smiled.
They knew that their mission to Jiuli Country had finally been successfully completed.
Especially Yu Wenyao, although what happened in the capital of Jiuli this time was full of twists and turns, the people of the Lihuo royal family did not suffer any losses.
On the other hand, Qinghong Sect suffered heavy losses, which made Yu Wenyao even more happy.
"This treaty is worthless! Who is Jin Yuchen? He is not qualified to sign this treaty on behalf of the Jiuli Kingdom!"
Suddenly, a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant sounded in Jiuli Square.
In an instant, countless eyes fell on this figure, and they were shocked to find that this figure was none other than Gong Yeli, the leader of the Jiuli Merchant Alliance.
"On behalf of the Jiuli Merchant Alliance, I oppose this treaty!"
Gong Yeli raised his head and looked directly at Yuan Ruiguang and Yu Wenyao, and said in a deep voice.
"On behalf of the Gong family, I oppose this treaty!"
"On behalf of the Yun family, I oppose this treaty!"
"On behalf of the Yu family, I oppose this treaty!"
"I represent..." In the square, one by one, the powerful leaders of Jiuli Capital stood up.
They knew very well that it was now a matter of life and death for the Jiuli Kingdom, and they were all forces of the Jiuli Kingdom.
If the Jiuli Kingdom is destroyed, these forces born and raised in the Jiuli Kingdom will be like duckweeds, they can only drift with the tide, and may even perish along with it.
Now they have to stand up and fight for their own power.
Yu Wenyao narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile: "You are so brave. Jin Yuchen is the well-deserved successor of Jiuli Kingdom, and he is also the new king. He is naturally qualified to cede Jiuli territory!"
"You are just ministers, but you dare to commit crimes below. Do you want to rebel?"
Gong Yeli said angrily: "Marquis Wu Wen! Don't be so unreasonable. Jiuli Kingdom does not belong to the Jiuli royal family, but to all the warriors in Jiuli Kingdom!"
"If we really want to cede Jiuli Kingdom, the Jiuli royal family will sign an agreement and there is no way we can do anything! In my eyes, Jin Yuchen is the eternal sinner of Jiuli Kingdom and really deserves to be killed!"
As soon as this statement came out, countless people in the square responded, saying that Jin Yuchen had betrayed his country and sought glory and should really be killed.
Yuan Ruiguang looked indifferent and said: "Everyone, please be patient! I know how you feel, but this time the Jiuli Kingdom is divided, it may not be a good thing for you!"
Gong Yeli said coldly: "Master Yuan! You don't need to say these scene words. Is it a good thing? Is it possible that we don't know?"
Even if we die today, we won't let you get any benefits."
Yuan Ruiguang's lips curled up slightly and he said: "Jiuli Kingdom was separated, but it just changed its owner! Your forces in the capital of Jiuli Kingdom can still remain peacefully entrenched in the capital, and we even promised to collect less taxes from you. What do you think?
Woolen cloth?"
After a while, the heated crowd in the square suddenly calmed down.
Many representatives of the forces showed deep thoughts. The reason why they responded to Gong Yeli's call was simply because the destruction of the Jiuli Kingdom would harm the interests of the forces behind them.
As the saying goes, cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents! But now, Yuan Ruiguang's words have completely resolved the concerns of most power representatives.
"Master Yuan! It's just your one-sided words, how can we believe you?"
The head of the Gong family asked with a frown.
Yuan Ruiguang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at Ji Ziguang and others who were present at the first case. They all stood up with understanding.
"We, the princes of the Four Kingdoms, are willing to swear to our inner demons that after occupying the Jiuli country, we will never touch any power in the Jiuli country, and we will also reduce the tax burden!"
Ji Ziguang, together with the other three princes, stood up and swore an oath to the inner demon in public.
"Everyone! Do you believe us now?
We are not like Prince Jiuli who doesn’t care about the life and death of the people in our land! As long as you become our land, we will naturally do our best to protect it!"
Ji Ziguang's righteous voice, through Lingyuan's transformed sound, continued to spread over the entire square, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Sure enough, the originally noisy and chaotic square immediately became extremely quiet.
"Of course! In order to show our sincerity, people like Jin Yuchen, who are traitors and seek glory, are at your mercy, in order to appease your anger!"
Ji Ziguang glanced sideways at Jin Yuchen who was not far away, and suddenly suggested.
"Prince Tianluo! What do you mean?
I ceded the land of Jiuli to you, and you..." Jin Yuchen's expression changed completely, and he couldn't help but yelled loudly.
If Ji Ziguang and the others really handed him over to the Jiuli Warriors in the square, Jin Yuchen could fully imagine how miserable his end would be.
After all, he signed such an unequal treaty in public, which had already aroused public outrage. The Jiuli Warriors would never let him go.
"Crown Prince Jiuli! I'm so sorry. Public anger is hard to offend, so I can only work hard for you!"
Ji Ziguang said mockingly.
"Master Yuan, Lord Yu! You promised me back then..." Jin Yuchen couldn't help but look at Yuan Ruiguang and Yu Wenyao. They had intimidated and lured him before, so he agreed to sign this contract in public.
Treaty of equality.
In order to satisfy both of them, Jin Yuchen personally massacred the direct descendants of the Jiuli royal family who were related to him by blood, and even his biological mother was not spared.
And he did all this just to please Yuan Ruiguang and Yu Wenyao in order to escape with his life.
He thought that if he did what they said, he would be safe, at least his life would be safe.
Now, the situation is not developing as he imagined.
"Jin Zhujun! Please respect yourself, we have never promised you anything, it is just your wishful thinking!"
Yuan Ruiguang said disdainfully.
Yu Wenyao put his hands behind his back and didn't even look at Jin Yuchen.
Plop! Jin Yuchen collapsed on the ground in despair.
He has understood that from the beginning, he was just an abandoned son in the eyes of Yu Wenyao and Yuan Ruiguang.
But he foolishly believed that Yu Wenyao and Yuan Ruiguang would really take him seriously, so that they might make a comeback and rise to prominence in the future.
At this moment, the words Mu Feng had said to him suddenly sounded in Jin Yuchen's mind.
"I regret that I didn't listen to Master Mu's words! I regret it!"
Jin Yuchen looked up to the sky and screamed in regret like a lone wolf. Then he was restrained by Ji Ziguang and other four princes, and was thrown into the square.
In an instant, countless warriors in the square rushed forward, and almost everyone punched and kicked Jin Yuchen.
Moreover, they were very measured, and the punches and kicks they fired were not fatal, but they could cause Jin Yuchen to feel great pain.
