Chapter 102: 85, 86. Before and After the Negotiations, Demons of the Chaotic World (Major Chapter – Seeking Subscriptions)_3
Even if we failed, we could still use this deep winter, when the Ghost Tide erupted, we, the Northern Barbarians, along with the Ghost Tide, would move southward together, using it as a threat, success would be inevitable.
At that time, when they were in disarray, we could seize the opportunity to express submission to Dashang and assure them that we would not fight again next spring. As long as we were given land to settle on and help with planting crops, we would be willing to cease waging war.”
“Submission?!”
Xiao Hongliao almost leaped up.
The Golden Crow King turned back, looking at Ding Sigu with eyes as if seeing a madman, his cold gaze full of mockery.
Ding Sigu hurriedly said, “Dashang, first scared by us, would be overjoyed to see us willing to submit, and that would be the time for us to make our demands.
We could seize the opportunity to obtain more food, even rewards, resources…
For the sake of peace, the officials for their achievements, the generals for the situation, everyone would agree to our demands.”
The Golden Crow King’s eyes slowly brightened, he set down his wine cup, looked seriously at the young man he had initially completely ignored.
And that frail young man, who a moment ago seemed as meek and obedient as a sheep, suddenly curled his lips, revealing a cold and calculating smile.
He continued, “And this would provoke the Six Towns.
The Six Towns fought desperately to resist us, yet gained no resources nor food, they could only rely on their limited grain reserves to survive the winter, not knowing how many would die.
A bandit, because he stopped looting, was given good food and drink by the owner.
A loyal dog, fighting desperately to help the master resist, ends up… going hungry.
Ha, hahaha, hahahahahaha…”
Ding Sigu’s eyes suddenly grew wild, a wicked light flashing all around him, “Honorable Golden Crow King, with your wisdom, do you know what the outcome would be?”
Without waiting for an answer, Ding Sigu shouted, “They will rebel!
The Six Towns will rebel!!
The Six Towns are the Great Wall of Dashang’s frontier.
By next year, not only would that Great Wall fall, but it would also turn its weapons against them.
The Chaotic World would then be unleashed!
Muddled waters would be my Barbarian Tribe’s opportunity to seize the land and mountains!
In a struggle between two clans, it has never been one dies or the other perishes.
In war, deceit is never frowned upon, the victor is always the king, the defeated the villain.”
In the grand tent, the young man spoke eloquently, his speech grew faster, clearly explaining details and various possibilities.
He had traveled with the Barbarian Soldiers, going to various counties, even having the luck to seize a military book while sacking Xiegu County.
He had walked the long battlefields, witnessing war after war, coupled with hearing discussions in the tribe, Xiao Hongliao taught him much knowledge, a lot of casual talk and his own mind.
These formed the insidious plan before them.
The more he talked, the brighter the Golden Crow King’s eyes became.
On the other side, Xiao Hongliao looked at this familiar yet strange Ding with terrified eyes.
Facing Xiao Hongliao’s angry, complex, and fearful gaze.
Ding Sigu dared not look at her, only hurriedly continued speaking.
Finally,
Xiao Hongliao shouted angrily, “Ding, what are you doing?!”
With that, the girl shrieked, wanting to rush forward, to stop Ding Sigu.
But the Golden Crow King clapped his hands.
Several Barbarian Soldiers swiftly walked out from behind the tent.
The Golden Crow King gestured.
The Barbarian Soldiers quickly pounced and held Xiao Hongliao.
Ding Sigu immediately showed a look of panic, hastily halting his words, “I beg the King, do not harm her…”
The Golden Crow King smiled and nodded, then said, “Please have the Valley Wolf Clan’s little girl go rest.”
The Barbarian Soldiers immediately began to carry out the orders.
Xiao Hongliao shouted angrily, “You lied to me! Ding Sigu, you lied to me!”
Ding Sigu said softly, “Sister Hong Liao, I… I just…”
“Bah!”
As Xiao Hongliao was dragged past the young man, she spat and spat on his face.
Ding Sigu was struck as if by lightning.
“Despicable, shameless, Ding Sigu, I was wrong about you, you lied to me! Ding! Si! Gu!”
The voice gradually faded.
Ding Sigu raised his hand to wipe the spit from his cheek, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his eyes reddening.
He was a person lacking a sense of safety, neglected guidance, for him, Xiao Hongliao somewhat resembled a mother, somewhat like a teacher, and somewhat like the dreamt-of wife… He wanted to be a great person, to protect her kindness, to guard everything of hers, so that no one around him would be forcibly conscripted like a dog, then die unexplainably, without value, far away.
Was he wrong?
Was he… wrong?
He…
He was not wrong!
The wrong was this world!!
Did this world give him fairness?
Did this world let him live?
This world kept him in the position of an ant, demanding he conform to fate, die like an ant, but he refused!
Tear-filled eyes quickly turned crimson, blood-red, as if covered by dark clouds.
In the tent, the Golden Crow King said with a smile, “Ding Sigu, Ding, right? From now on, don’t return to the Valley Wolf Clan, follow me. I will not treat you poorly.”
Ding Sigu knelt, repeatedly kowtowing, “Thank you, Great King.”
The Golden Crow King suddenly asked, “You like that little shaman from the Valley Wolf Clan?”
Ding Sigu’s heart suddenly raced.
The Golden Crow King laughed heartily, “Be my man, make great contributions for me, I, along with the Great Barbarian King, will propose marriage for you. She will be your wife!”
…
…
“Song, tomorrow, Dashang and the Northern Barbarians would have peace talks.
What I worry most about is, something might go wrong in the peace talks.”
Lady Zhushan, wrapped herself up like a big, round ball, her chubby face carrying a heavy look in her eyes, “I got news from the front lines a few days ago, yet knowing it, there’s nothing I can do.
Tomorrow, if the Ghost Servant took the opportunity to disrupt, deliberately steering conflicts during the peace talks, provoking military chaos, leading to a great war… the consequences would be unimaginable.
