The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 690 Mighty and Unyielding

Xia Houwei praised repeatedly: "The master's clever plan is exactly what I want!" After Xia Houwei finished speaking, he turned to the general Xia Houyuan and said, "General Xia! What do you think?"

"Master Hui! The Kingdom of Gan bowed its head to us. This time, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, we did not pay the old coins on time. Why don't we make an excuse and let the Kingdom of Gan support us in the war!" Xia Houyuan said with ulterior motives.

"Gan is too poor and weak, how can it support us?" Xia Houwei looked down on Gan at all.

"My lord! I just got a secret report that Mobai, the envoy of Gan State, just visited Lu State, and was already on his way back. He passed through our country from Sui State, and was caught by our patrol soldiers!" Xia Houwei said proudly.

"Okay! Bring Mo Bai up quickly! I want to interrogate myself!" Xia Houwei said majestically.

"Yes! Lord!" Xia Houyuan quickly withdrew after finishing speaking.

Soon, the twelve envoys were all tied up and brought up one by one.

Among them, Mo Bai was dragged in front of Xia Houwei by two fierce soldiers from Rongguo. Xia Houwei was overbearing and asked Mo Bai to tell the details of his visit one by one, but Mo Bai did not say a word in order to keep the secrets of the two countries.

"Hit me! Hit me hard!" Xia Houwei said angrily.

Two soldiers beat Mobai fiercely with barbed whips. Mobai was covered in cuts and bruises, his body was bruised and bleeding, but he never said a word.

Xia Houwei ordered other tortures, such as passing through an iron needle bed and burning his chest with a red-hot iron, but Mobai still persisted with great willpower. Even if he died, he would not reveal the secrets of the exchanges between the two countries. .

Gao Shuang, the lord of Lu State, treated himself as a guest of honor. When he visited Lu State, he had already seen the hope of Gan State's salvation.

Seeing that Mobai was mighty and unyielding, Xia Houwei stretched his claws to the other eleven envoys and used various heinous tortures.

When one of the envoys passed the iron needle bed, he was so scared that he peed in his crotch, and quickly knelt down in front of Xia Houwei with a trembling voice and begged for mercy: "My lord! Please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

Xia Houwei's eyes lit up, he was very happy, and said: "Why didn't you say it earlier? If you did! I will not only spare your life, but also let you be an official in our Rongguo! Marry a wife and have children! Glory to our ancestors!"

"My lord! The villain confesses! The villain tells you one by one!" the envoy hurriedly said flatteringly.

Mobai looked at the envoy with contempt and said, "You are really a traitor!"

But the envoy said coldly: "No wonder I! Brothers are originally birds in the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately!"

"Bah! It's only my fault that I misjudged you! It's a shame to be with you!" Mo Bai spat out a mouthful of blood.

Because of the envoy Gao Mi named Wang Xiaosi, Xia Houwei immediately sent someone to pull out the letter of credence signed by the lord of the Gan Kingdom Awana and the lord of the Lu Kingdom Gao Shuang from Mobai's belt.

At the same time, the hybrid rice seeds and exquisite cloth given by Lu Guo were also presented to Xia Houwei.

The hybrid rice and exquisite cloth opened Xia Houwei's eyes, and his eyes were red with jealousy.

This kind of high-quality, high-yield, high-quality grain is produced everywhere in Lu State, which is exactly what Rong State needs. The land in Rong State is barren, coupled with the general drought this year, the grain harvest has failed, and the imperial court is in urgent need of food.
