"Okay, let's take custody first. Qinbei Pavilion"
Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing with a smile.
"what on earth do you want!"
Hu Yanqing stood up and looked at Sun Lei and asked. He has been locked in this dungeon for a long time. This dungeon on Salmon Island was specially built. It is dark, damp, and extremely depressing. Even if a person is not punished here, he will suffer mentally after a long time. Can't stand it.
"I'm locking you up and trying to temper my temper. You're just out of luck. This Salmon Island has a bad reputation. Not everyone can live there for a while."
Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and said, this kind of dark and depressing environment is the most torturous.
"If you want to deal with me, just lock me up. These soldiers are innocent."
Hu Yanqing pointed to the soldiers in the surrounding cells and said that he could endure this kind of environment, but the soldiers had poor mental quality and could not stand this environment.
"You are all enemies. You are no different from these soldiers. Why should I only deal with you and not punish these soldiers?"
Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing doubtfully. There was no way he could let these Pinghai soldiers go. The island outside was narrow and the soldiers knew how to swim. If they were released, they would just swim back.
"Besides, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me?"
Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and asked.
Hu Yanqing was speechless. Now that he was just a prisoner, he had no qualifications to raise conditions.
"By the way, it is said that the prisoners on Salmon Island have no food to eat. In the future, we will give them less food to remember the hardships and sweet things, and let them experience firsthand what it is to be a prisoner."
Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoer again and said.
"Don't worry, brother, I promise to satisfy them!"
Ruan Xiaoer laughed and said.
"No!"
"Spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life, I am willing to surrender!"
…
The prisoners in the cell all begged for mercy upon hearing this. As Dengzhou garrison troops, they were familiar with the situation on Salmon Island better than anyone else. This was a place more terrifying than hell, and no one who came here got out alive.
"Why are you making such noise? If you shout again, I will starve you to death!"
Sun Lei looked at the soldiers with cold eyes and scolded them. The soldiers did not dare to say anything for a moment, and the noisy dungeon became silent for a moment.
"Leader Sun, what do you want? You won't gain anything by killing them!"
Hu Yanqing looked at Sun Lei and asked. Sun Lei was obviously exerting pressure, but he didn't understand what Sun Lei wanted. These soldiers were the best labor, and keeping them was far more beneficial than killing them.
"Of course there are benefits. With so many of you, how much food do you consume every day? The value of food is not more than I can say."
Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and said.
"Just tell me what conditions you have!"
Hu Yanqing looked at Sun Lei and asked directly. Sun Lei had been avoiding answering his questions. This is a commonly used tactic in negotiations. Whoever speaks first will be passive, because the person who spoke has already revealed his identity. trump card.
Sun Lei just looked at Hu Yanqing, smiled and did not speak.
Hu Yanqing felt his heart tighten, as if he had been seen through.
Hu Yanqing knew very well what Sun Lei meant. He was not qualified to ask Sun Lei to tell him the conditions. Instead, Sun Lei was looking to see what conditions he could offer.
"I am willing to lead everyone to surrender to Leader Sun!"
Hu Yanqing took a deep breath and then said this sentence with difficulty. This was the highest condition he could offer. Apart from his own soldiers, he had nothing else he could offer.
"That's right. If you have enough food, if you are short of food and grass, go to Dengzhou to borrow it. There are many rich people there."
Sun Lei laughed and said to Ruan Xiaoer, then turned and left the dungeon.
These words made Hu Yanqing's chest feel tight. Sun Lei actually went to Dengzhou to grab food to feed them. I really didn't know whether to be grateful or resentful.
"Let's go, General Huyan!"
Ruan Xiaoer looked at Hu Yanqing and said with a smile, the soldiers had already opened the cell door.
Hu Yanqing looked at the expectant eyes of the soldiers in the surrounding cells, sighed, and followed Ruan Xiaoer out of the dungeon.
Looking at the scorching sun in the sky, Hu Yanqing not only felt no discomfort, but instead enjoyed the sunshine greedily. He had not seen the sun for more than half a month.
"sit down!"
In a small shed, Sun Lei was saying with a smile. Wine and food were placed on the table in front of him, and many people were already sitting at the table.
Hu Yanqing walked over without hesitation.
"This sea is different from our water park. The taste of this seafood is very different from that of Danshui fish."
Sun Lei pointed at the 100-pound fish on the table and said with a smile, "Although there are big fish in Liangshanbo, it is difficult to catch such a big fish, and fish of this size are very common in the sea."
Looking at the big fish, Hu Yanqing didn't know what to say. Sun Lei seemed to have something to say, but he didn't seem to have any other meaning, leaving him unpredictable.
"Come on, try them all!"
Sun Lei greeted everyone with a smile. I don’t know the species of this fish. Anyway, it looked like a grouper. I heard it was caught on the island reef. The soldiers praised the deliciousness after eating it.
“This one is the best!”
Sun Lei smiled and gave Hua Chan and Li Shishi the triangular portion of the fish's head facing down the belly. This is the most delicious part of sea fish such as grouper.
Sun Lei picked up some prawns for Hua Chan and Li Shishi. The prawns were old and their tails were as thick as a person's small arm. One of them weighed several kilograms.
"Eat everything, why are you standing there in a daze!"
Seeing that everyone was not moving Kuai Zi, Sun Lei said with a smile.
Only then did everyone laugh and start eating this table of seafood they had never seen before.
"The fish is pretty good, and the shrimps are pretty good too!"
Lu Zhishen took a bite of fish and a bite of shrimp, and didn't even bother to drink wine. This was his first time eating seafood.
The rest of the people tasted the fish and shrimp and nodded again and again. This different flavor is really appetizing.
"General Huyan, why doesn't it suit your taste?"
Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing who was silent and asked.
"The little man has been at the beach for a long time, and he has been eating these fish and shrimps for many years."
Hu Yanqing couldn't say he had no appetite. This might offend Sun Lei and others, so he could only find excuses to deal with it.
"Haha, that's it."
Sun Lei laughed and said, this is a good explanation. Seafood is indeed not a new delicacy for Huyanqing, who has been on the beach in Dengzhou all year round.
"I wonder what Chief Sun is going to do with me?"
As the banquet came to an end, Hu Yanqing finally looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"Disposal is not a good word. General Huyan has outstanding abilities and is more than capable of being an envoy."
Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and said.
"messenger?"
Hu Yanqing was shocked. He was a serious general, but Sun Lei wanted him to be an envoy.
In this era, being a soldier is a high-risk profession. Bloodshed on the battlefield and corpses wrapped in horse leather are commonplace. But the only profession that can be said to be more dangerous than being a soldier is that of an envoy.
"Yes, I heard that General Huyan is proficient in many languages and knows how to argue. Isn't this suitable for him to be an envoy?"
Sun Lei looked at Hu Yanqing and said.
Hu Yanqing had a wry smile on his face. Hearing Sun Lei praise him for being good at rebuttal, Hu Yanqing felt ridiculous. He didn't get any advantage from Sun Lei.
"Leader Sun, I have always been training soldiers to fight, and I have never been an envoy. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to hold a big position."
Hu Yanqing cupped his hands at Sun Lei and said, "The messenger really does his work with his head tied to his belt. If he is not careful, he may die in a foreign land, or even be humiliated and tortured by foreigners."
