Several pieces of broken silver clinked against Gu Zawan Mountain's face, and even a few copper coins landed in the middle.
Such a small amount of money is indeed an insult to Xiao Tiannan's status.
Ever since he made a good friend from the capital of Qin, he’s never been short of money. When he goes out to spend, even his tips for servants are more than this.
But for Ghazawand, this money was all he had.
The original text was already poor.
The small tribe is poorer.
Slaves were taken from their tribes and sent to serve as cannon fodder within the Liao army. Where else could they have gone for money
Several pieces of broken silver and a few copper coins clattered onto Kuzak-vandar's face, scattering across the ground with a sharp ringing sound. This only served to fan the flames of fury that raged within both Kuzak-vandar and Kuzak-Talon to an unbearable degree.
Clenching his fists, Kuzband's face flushed red, and his body trembled with excitement.
Regardless, he was still a commander. To be slapped in the face with so much silver by Xiao Tiannan, if Gu Zadawandan were an ordinary person, he would have absolutely taken offense.
However, more excited than him was Gustavo.
Though not blood brothers, they have relied on each other for years. In the harsh environment of the military camp, their tribe couldn't help them; most of the time, they could only rely on each other and support one another to reach this day.
So their feelings for each other were closer than many blood brothers.
Having been humiliated by Guza Wadan, Guzate Long roared angrily. With a sharp sound of metal, the war saber at his waist was unsheathed.
At this moment, the siege battle in the distance is still raging, but where the three people are at the rear, the atmosphere is equally grim.
Xiao Tiannan was also taken aback.
He never expected Guza Talon to dare to brandish a weapon.
"What are you doing!"
Xiao Tiannan took a step back, his eyes flashing with anger as he shouted, "Do you want to kill me!"
This shout jolted Gu Zadashan out of his daze.
"Talon!"
Gu Zawan finished his task and turned to see Gu Zatailong approaching Xiao Tiannan with a menacing expression. He immediately shouted loudly.
Gu Zataolong trembled, gritted his teeth and stared at Xiao Tiannan, but still stopped.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Zawendan addressed Xiao Tiannan: "Master Xiao, for any offense I may have caused, please forgive me. However, my brother and I remain loyal to the prince without any change. Please, Master Xiao, give us an opportunity."
The current situation is not optimistic for Xiao Tiannan.
If he persists in his own opinion, he will definitely go back to find Yelu Shenxuan to give these two brothers a taste of their own medicine. Then heaven knows what Kuzhaitalong would do.
After weighing his options, Xiao Tiannan let out a cold snort and said, "If you want me to believe in your loyalty, then charge onto the battlefield!"
Xiao Tiannan's face was full of malice as he said, "Right now, the most important thing for the prince and the Liao Kingdom is to take down Yueya Pass. The siege is difficult, and as commanders of the vanguard army, shouldn't you lead by example"
The battlefield is extremely dangerous right now, and with the siege in full swing, rushing into it would likely be a one-way trip.
If we could come back, wouldn't that prove we were incompetent in battle
"With so many soldiers dead, how can you, as the commander, have the audacity to come back alive"
Anyway, they're just cannon fodder. If they die, no one will care.
Nor would anyone hold themselves accountable, and even the Crown Prince would praise their effectiveness as military supervisors.
Xiao Tiannan's abacus was clicking loudly.
He felt his plan, killing two birds with one stone, was perfect.... betrayed him.The guilty thought only appeared for a second before being immediately extinguished. Xiao Tiannan added, “At this crucial moment, did the Sovereign truly insist on holding on”Taking a...
