The envoy of Ji Country came with little momentum and left even more dejected. Whether it was Xiao Jingyuan's promising son or his talented adopted son, both were like eggplants hit by frost, unable to utter a word.
However, Xiao Jingyuan remained calm and agreed to all the terms without hesitation, then returned to Ji Capital with two copies of the treaty.
Once the Guantun City Tower disappeared from view, the old general suddenly sighed. All the generals were at a loss, and Xiao Jingyuan no longer concealed his thoughts, saying slowly, "If instead of an envoy seeking peace, there were a million troops by my side..."
The adopted son's eyes lit up, and he eagerly asked, "Could we win?"
Xiao Jingyuan replied, "We couldn't win, but we could give Wei Yuan a significant blow, even without the help of the Immortal Dao Soldiers, inflicting heavy casualties. In such a case during negotiations, the two treaties would not only become one but would also be much less onerous."
