Lin Yi pressed the Eldest Prince on his aggressive actions, who, despite initial defiance, ultimately offered to cede two cities as reparations. Lin Yi agreed to the terms, but with the condition that he would choose the cities himself. As Lin Yi indicated his choices on the map, the expressions of everyone in the room drastically changed.

With Lin Yi’s words and a gesture pointing in a direction, everyone was instantly stunned, especially the prince who had just agreed to cede territory, who jumped up on the spot:

"No, no, no, this is impossible, absolutely impossible, you must be joking.

In this border area, you can choose any city, but these two cities are absolutely out of the question!

Moreover, I am being very sincere here, if you insist like this, I can only believe you are deliberately causing trouble."

It’s not surprising that this prince reacted this way, nor is it surprising he was so agitated, because the two cities Lin Yi pointed to were too special. There aren’t many cities in the Great Yan Country, but there are some.

Just among these border cities, there are five of them.

Even if Lin Yi asked for one or two more, the other side would agree through gritted teeth.

But now, Lin Yi was not pointing at a border location.

The city Lin Yi pointed to was none other than the capital of the Great Yan Country.

This prince was instantly like being choked, struggling with anger.

This is impossible, absolutely impossible.

No reasonable person would agree to such a request.

The other party agreed to cede two cities to you, but it’s not like they’re giving you the whole capital.

How is this different from surrendering entirely?

Moreover, this would be an extreme humiliation; if I really did this, I would become the traitor of the entire Great Yan Country.

This is something I would never agree to, and even if I did agree, the father emperor would never agree to such a request.

Seeing the excitement on the other side, Lin Yi laughed softly:

"Heh, since you do not agree, let’s consider this matter concluded. You don’t want to give it to me, and I don’t want it either.

It’s not that I don’t want this capital, nor your cities, it’s just that ceding two cities is really not much. I’ve already given you plenty of face by agreeing, but since that’s the case, we can only call it quits."

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Yan Fei, gesturing to him:

"Since the other side does not agree, let’s call it off, and as I said earlier, now tie up all these princes for me."

At that moment, everyone’s expressions turned sour.

No one expected Lin Yi to play this hand, wasn’t this blatantly slapping them in the face?

There was no sincerity at all.

This guy has been toying with us all along.

It’s really infuriating.

Looking at Yan Fei at this time, his face was full of bitterness.

He could see clearly that Lin Yi was teasing everyone.

But what can be done?

Does he have the say now? He can only obey the other side’s orders.

However, at this moment, the prince suddenly sneered:

"Heh, since you lack sincerity, this matter can only end here.

But don’t be happy too soon, even if you capture all of us, what difference does it make?

This army belongs to the father emperor, it’s the army of Yan Country, not ours. Capturing us has no effect.

And I can tell you, what Yan Country lacks in other things, it has plenty of princes and princesses, even if you capture all of us prince-s, it won’t have any effect, at the critical moment, the father emperor will certainly abandon all of us, trying to use us to threaten him, you are greatly mistaken."

What this guy said was not wrong; King Yan was indeed very prolific.

Not to mention the princesses, even just his sons, combined, there are no fewer than thirty or forty.

If it really came to the point of risking the throne, he would absolutely be willing to abandon all these princes.

After all, losing a prince is fine as long as he can have more, but if he loses the throne, then he has nothing.

Luckily, what Lin Yi wanted was not to use them to threaten King Yan, but just to completely control the current army.

Therefore, what this guy said was completely irrelevant to Lin Yi.

He waved his hand directly, indicating the other side to take action.

However, just at this moment, as Yan Fei reluctantly wanted to order his men to move, the prince suddenly shouted loudly:

"Come in now! Where are my guards? Someone is rebelling, someone is rebelling! Quickly come in for me!"

"Hurry, hurry, someone is rebelling, get in here quickly."

"Soldiers outside, follow orders, surround this place immediately, rush in and capture the traitors!"

With this prince’s call, it instantly caused a response from the crowd around them, immediately everyone chimed in and began shouting loudly.

They thought it very simple. Their side had more people and power, if they all shouted together, the other side couldn’t possibly capture all of them at once, giving them some chance to escape.
