The envoys from the three kingdoms came here at the same time. There is no need to say what their intentions were.

I'm afraid he wants Gu Junheng to surrender, and then take the opportunity to propose his own conditions.

"Jun Heng."

When Lin Jinglan heard this, he suddenly thought of what Xu Huaian had proposed before, and had a bad feeling in his heart. Perhaps this was the opportunity Xu Huaian had been waiting for.

"Let them in."

Gu Junheng grabbed Lin Jinglan's hand, comforted him silently, waved his hand casually, and asked someone to bring the three envoys in.

The others were also shocked. They didn't quite understand why the envoys from the three countries had gathered together at this time and why they came.

What do they want? Do they want to divide up the territory of Chu?
If that were the case, they would fight to the end even if it meant sacrificing their last drop of blood.

The Great Chu cannot tolerate being trampled upon by these people.

But there were people in the tent whose sad expressions were obviously not because of these.

"Sir, I'm afraid this person may have bad intentions."

The military advisor was undoubtedly a resourceful man. Naturally, he also noticed the unusualness between Lin Jinglan and Gu Junheng at this time, and guessed that things might not be that simple.

"It doesn't matter. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There will always be a way to solve it. Isn't the worst result that we have to defend the city gate to our death?"

Gu Junheng's expression was very calm, and the expressions on the faces of the others gradually relaxed as well.

Yes, the prince is right. Isn’t the worst outcome death?

From the moment they entered the northern border and became soldiers and generals, in addition to making achievements and bringing honor to their families, they were already prepared to lose their lives.

Sacrifice is the soldier's duty. Since they have decided to defend their country, none of them are afraid of death. It's just that being afraid of death is not worth it.

Lin Jinglan's expression became more and more ugly. The western border had fallen, and King Jin had fallen into the hands of the people of Qin. This matter would not be that simple. Perhaps this was just the beginning.

After a while, the envoys from the three countries walked into the tent under the heavy gaze of the soldiers.

"We have met Prince Jun."

These three people were very well-behaved. Even though they were on opposite sides, they still saluted Gu Junheng respectfully.

"Tell me what you want to say."

Gu Junheng was sitting at the top and without any further ado, he directly asked what the purpose of these people was.

The other Chu generals also had their eyes on them, and they also wanted to know what these people's purpose was.

"Northern Qiang wants three cities in the western border."

The purpose of the Northern Qiang is very simple, it is just about profit. Whether it is cooperating with the State of Yan or the State of Qin, it is all for the purpose of expanding their territory.

"What a big tone! You're talking about the three cities in the Western Territory. The Western Territory is an important place for our country. If we give it to you, the gates of the Western Territory will be wide open. What defense can we have?"

A hot-tempered general standing in the tent immediately pointed at the Northern Qiang envoy and spoke angrily.

"At this moment, your Great Chu is already on the verge of collapse. If we continue to attack, all of Great Chu will fall. At that time, the country will be destroyed and the people will suffer. The three cities at this time are the best result for you. If you get what we want, Northern Qiang will sign a truce agreement with Great Chu and there will be no war within ten years."

The Northern Qiang envoys were not frightened by the anger of the Great Chu generals. Instead, they felt a hint of pride and disdain.

In their view, the Great Chu had already been defeated in the war, so what qualifications did it have to talk to them about humiliation at this time?

It is estimated that the emperor of their country is still hoping that Great Chu will not negotiate. When the time comes, if the three countries attack Great Chu together, they may get more benefits.

"What is your purpose?" However, Gu Junheng's expression was very calm. He glanced at the Northern Qiang envoy indifferently, and then turned his attention to the envoys from Qin and Yan.

Just seeing Gu Junheng's attitude, the Northern Qiang envoy felt somewhat dissatisfied.

"Prince Jun is still as arrogant as ever. It seems that he doesn't take us Northern Qiang seriously at all."

Unfortunately, after Gu Junheng glanced at him, he just waved his hand lightly. A cold light flashed and the Northern Qiang envoy felt a chill in his ears.

Immediately, he felt a sharp pain and screamed loudly. Blood was dripping from his ears, and a severed ear appeared on the ground.

No one expected that Gu Junheng would actually start fighting as soon as he said so.

"You talk too much nonsense. I have made my own decision whether to listen to you or not. There is no need for you to say more."

Gu Junheng showed an impatient look on his face.

"You, you are too arrogant. I will tell my emperor and I will make sure that your country will be destroyed."

This envoy had never been humiliated like this, let alone hurt like this. At this moment, he pointed at Gu Junheng and said the most vicious words.

"What did you say? I don't quite understand."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was greeted by Gu Junheng's extremely cold voice.

Looking at Gu Junheng's calm eyes, the envoy seemed to have expected something.

They all miscalculated a little. They thought that Da Chu was weak at the moment, and since they were envoys, Gu Junheng would not dare to touch them.

But they misjudged Gu Junheng. He was well-known for his arrogance in the past.

There is nothing in this world that Gu Junheng dare not do.

"Nothing, nothing, I was just talking nonsense."

The envoy tactfully took back his words, and even though Gu Junheng cut off one of his ears, he still had to swallow his anger.

"Well, that's good. The other two envoys can tell us what your king thinks. You can rest assured that this prince will listen carefully."

Gu Junheng looked like he didn't care at all.

It seemed as if he had no fear at all even if these three countries joined forces to deal with him.

Although the generals of the Great Chu in the tent felt strange, they all said nothing and just stared at the envoys with eager eyes.

"His Majesty of Yan said that this war was only to avenge our crown prince. As long as your country hands over the murderer who hurt our crown prince and cedes two cities, we will negotiate."

The envoy from Yan State witnessed Gu Junheng's methods and felt a little afraid, but he still conveyed what he should say as an envoy.

Gu Junheng nodded and looked at the Qin envoy. When Lin Jinglan saw this, he couldn't help but hold Gu Junheng's hand tightly.

She seemed to have guessed what Qin wanted.

"My country Qin also wants to stop the war, so I would like to ask your prince to come to Qin as a hostage, and he must not leave Qin for life, and he must also cede two cities."

As expected, it was exactly as Xu Huaian had arranged before.

"But our prince's whereabouts are unknown and we can't find him for the time being."

Gu Junheng asked the question knowingly.

"The regent of your country has contacted our emperor and said that the prince is also the son of the current emperor of Great Chu and has been named the crown prince. Therefore, the prince should not be allowed to be held hostage in Qin." (End of this chapter)
