Chapter 1699: Big Revelation!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked at each other.

Ever since Dongxiao sent someone to deliver the letter of credence, saying that the Emperor of Dongxiao would personally go to Da Ling, they naturally understood Dongxiao’s intentions even more. They knew that other than Xia Hou Zheng, who held great power, there was also Qu Chuo in Dongxiao. Both of them had wild ambitions. In the past, every time Dongxiao attacked the outside world and plundered property, it was always these two people who led it.

No matter who became the Emperor, although Da Ling was not afraid, it would be disadvantageous to Da Ling.

However…

Jiang Yue gave a slight nod, indicating for Xue Yan to speak.

“We’ve only met you once. Do you think we’ll believe that you don’t have the heart to expand your territory?”

Qu Xiao said calmly, “I’ve thought about this before I came. I can only say that I can give you a letter of credence that we will never fight for land. If you still don’t believe me, then there’s nothing I can do. You can see that the only way for me now is to ask for Da Ling’s help. I also believe in your morals. I think that not only will you not do anything to me, but you will also treat me politely. If you want the two countries to be on good terms, things will have to change. No matter if it’s a big war or a small war, there will be people who will be injured and killed. I thought you didn’t want to see this, so you never had the intention to expand. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to find you all alone if I didn’t agree with what you were doing.”

Was that why he trusted them and came alone?

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had a bigger understanding now,

It was an interesting turn of events, their thoughts were exposed by a nine-year-old child. Until now, many people in Da Ling did not understand why they did not expand and unify the world…

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s eyes flashed with admiration.

However, what would happen to such a child when he grew up?

If this was just a nice way of putting it, and they were willing to take this gamble just so they could help, then this was the only way. Wealth came from danger. With this child’s intelligence, it was not impossible to reach higher heights. If they helped, then Xia Houzheng and Qu Chuo would no longer be involved. If that was the case, however… This child would be more difficult to deal with than Xia Houzheng and Qu Chuo in the future…

What was the difference between this and attracting a tiger after getting rid of the wolf?

Xue Yan had to sit on this.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s gazes meet, each having a tacit understanding.

It was still Xue Yan who said, “We’ve just met. Whether or not we should help you, we can’t decide immediately. We’ll have to wait and see. You’re so smart, I’m sure you know what we’re worried about.”

“I understand.” Qu Xiao nodded.

This was not a small matter. Before he came, he had already expected that the Emperor would not immediately help him just because of what he said. This was too easy. No Emperor would be so st*pid. Moreover, not only was the Emperor not st*pid, but he was also incomparable to others since he was young.

“About your original plan… Was it exactly how you wanted us to help you?”

Qu Xiao said, “Xia Houzheng and my uncle both want to pull me down from the throne. Now that I’m missing in Da Ling, they will make sure I die in Da Ling no matter what. They will continue to send people to assassinate me and search for my whereabouts. At the same time, they have ulterior motives and want to kill each other so that no one can compete with them. The longer I’m missing, the more they will want to act. I want them to fight first. No matter which one dies, it will be beneficial to me. If they can’t find me, they can’t target me for the time being. They will put on an act and send troops to the border to get Da Ling to give a satisfactory explanation as to why I am missing. They will give you a deadline, which should be around a month.”
