A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1513 - 1511: Contract Reached

Chapter 1511

Zhao Junyao took a sharp, cold breath and sneered inwardly.

Is this ruthless, or is it insecure?

Just putting a sack over someone’s head and trying to fool people?

Whether this person is really Chenchen remains to be seen!

Chenchen was taught by him personally, he acts steadily and is often more shrewd than Zhao.

His vision is long-term, and he is farsighted in the affairs of governance.

Things that Zhao could not see, think, or dare to do or think about, he considered all.

His son often gave him a sense of ’the waves behind overpowering the ones ahead’ and ’surpassing the predecessor’.

He is proud of Chenchen.

Therefore.

To believe that the man in front of him, timid and high, with a sack over his head and passed out, is Chenchen.

No matter what, he will not believe it.

So, if he doesn’t believe, would he still trade the Guangnan Territory?

The answer is: he would!

But things wouldn’t go smoothly.

...

Suobuno ordered to have the ’Emperor of Great Chu’ taken away again.

Zhao Junyao displayed an extremely reluctant demeanor, unable to bear it and feeling sorrowful.

"Chenchen’s body is valuable and can’t stand your treatment like this, you should treat him better and call an Imperial Physician..."

"By the way, I have an Imperial Physician by my side, why not let him do the diagnosis for a bit!!"

"Also... you know I’m getting old, longing for my child!"

"You held him, and took him away, could you at least give me a token belonging to him, so I could have some consolation, couldn’t you?"

Suobuno got impatient, listening to all the chatter.

"Are you finished or not!"

Zhao Junyao feigned sorrow, sighed heavily.

"I have only this child whom I personally taught!"

"I... really cannot bear to see him suffer like this!"

"We are father and son, feelings are deep and rich, I ask the Monarch Suobuno for understanding!"

Suobuno was annoyed but couldn’t find a better reason to refuse, so he waved his hand and said.

"Alright, alright!"

"Someone, fetch an item from the Emperor of Great Chu, anything will do, give it to the Former Monarch of Great Chu to extinguish his hopes completely!"

Of course, Suobuno knew Zhao Junyao still had some doubts, so he said this.

Zhao Junyao didn’t mind.

If his attitude is bad, so be it, let’s see what tricks this Suobuno still can play.

...

In the coming act, Zhao Junyao performed vividly and realistically.

Suobuno ordered someone to fetch a pair of boots from the ’Emperor of Great Chu’.

Zhao Junyao held them, looking left and right, his expression suddenly infinitely sorrowful.

Looking just like someone who was suspect before, but now believes completely.

He gave a long speech advising Suobuno.

You must take good care of my son, otherwise if anything happens to his health, I won’t let you off the hook.

Suobuno saw this and believed he had full faith, only then did he relax.

"Since you have no more doubts, shall we start discussing the real business now?"

Zhao Junyao was stunned, he lowered his head to compose his emotions and then raised it.

"You’re right!"

"To save my son, I am willing to pay any price!"

Suobuno laughed heartily.

"You are indeed straightforward! Unlike your son, timid!"

Despite severe torture, he didn’t give in, the Emperor of Great Chu is indeed stubborn!

Zhao Junyao turned his gaze to the coast, calming himself and stated.

"I can agree to your conditions!"

"Can you manage a handover of people?"

Suobuno squinted his eyes.

"What? You want to take him away today?"

"That won’t do!"

"If you took him, what if you deny the deal, what would I do?"

"Former Monarch of Great Chu, are you joking a bit?"

Zhao Junyao was tired of circling around, he sneered coldly.

"Certainly, we are not as shameless as you!"

"We people of Great Chu keep our promises!"

"But to prevent your disbelief, I specially asked someone to bring an agreement, once we sign and seal, no one can violate the content of this agreement!"

"If you break it, we Great Chu will become eternal enemies with the Southern Ocean Kingdom until we take you under our control!"

"If I break it, my son’s life is at your disposal, do you agree?"

Suobuno hesitated.

"Where is the agreement?"

"If I let go of your son, are you sure you’ll cede Guangnan to me?"

"Of course!"

Zhao Junyao nodded in agreement, and continued.

"To be fair, I won’t take my son today!"

"But you must send my son safely back to Guangnan City within three days, and by then, I will open Guangnan City gates for you and your people to enter!"

"We exchange people for the city, how about it?"

Suobuno squinted and thought for a long time before finally nodding.

"Fine!"

This is very fair! An exchange of city for people, how could he escape?

But.

"I have one more question!"

Zhao Junyao’s patience was exhausted, he bit his lip holding a smile.

"If there’s anything else, feel free to say it!"

Said it poorly, I might cut you instantly, you know?

Suobuno added.

"If I release your son, what if Great Chu attacks us?"

"Remember, my Southern Ocean Kingdom doesn’t have as many people as Great Chu, how do I ensure I take control of Guangnan City?"

Zhao Junyao sneered in his heart.

’You greedy look, I do want to cut you instantly!’

’If it weren’t for uncertainty whether that person is Chenchen, I wouldn’t bother talking to you so much!’

He laughed on the surface.

"Rest assured, I will issue an edict, in Great Chu, an edict is an order, it’s irrevocable!"

Suobuno nodded.

"I have heard of this!!"

He got up and laughed heartily.

"Alright! Let’s do it!"

"We don’t need the agreement, see you in Guangnan City in three days!"

Zhao Junyao smiled faintly, inwardly contemptuous.

No need is just perfect, I now have three days to investigate and confirm that person’s identity!

If it’s Chenchen, then fine, if it’s not, you are just waiting to fall into the trap!

...

Leaving that island.

Zhao Junyao was slightly relieved, but only slightly.

Firstly, that person is uncertain whether it’s Chenchen.

Secondly, if not Chenchen, then where is the real Chenchen?

Li Deming muttered beside him.

"Taishang Huang, from afar, I looked, this person doesn’t seem like the Emperor!"

Too thin, uncharacteristically thin, also... there’s an indefinable unfamiliarity.

Having served the Emperor for so many years, his sense shouldn’t be wrong.

Zhao Junyao felt the same, but...

His gaze fell on the bloodstained Purple Gold Dragon Boots in his hands, suspiciously thinking.

"These boots, truly belong to Chenchen!"

"He’s always frugal, dislikes extravagance, only has a few sets of clothes, wearing and washing them repeatedly!"

"Undoubtedly, these are his personal belongings!"

Though stained with blood, the familiar scent still seeped out.
