Chapter 670: Lost, so arrogant (Part 1)

Xiao Tianyao’s words were not polite. He didn’t take the Central Empire in his eyes at all, but the black-armored guards didn’t get angry.

From their point of view, it was normal for Xiao Tianyao to behave like this. Xiao Tianyao has always been like this. He has never taken the threat of the Central Empire seriously. If he compromised after saying one or two sentences, they would find it strange.

Knowing that Xiao Tianyao cannot be persuaded, the leader of the black-armored guards didn’t become anxious. He continued: “Xiao Wangye, put your conditions out, we will do what we can do.”

He caught the eldest prince but didn’t kill him. Isn’t it because he wanted to negotiate terms with the Central Empire? They now represent the Central Empire and negotiate terms with Xiao Tianyao.

“Benwang wants you to die, can you do it?” Xiao Tianyao lightly brushed off the dust on his sleeves and said calmly.

“Xiao Wangye, we are sincerely negotiating with you. Don’t think we are afraid of you.” The leader of the black-armored guards also has a temper. They can’t beat Xiao Tianyao, but they beat the eastern soldiers easily. If they fight desperately, it will be Xiao Tianyao who will suffer heavy losses.

“Sincere? Nearly a thousand black-armored guards surrounded our camp, is this what you called sincerity? The sincerity of the central empire is an eye-opener.” Xiao Tianyao was in a bad mood, so his words were naturally not polite.

He didn’t give Xuanyuan Zhi’s face, how could he give the leader of the black-armored guards face? It was simply ridiculous.

Xiao Tianyao’s words made the leader of the black-armored guards speechless. The leader took a deep breath and said, “We can retreat, as long as you hand over the eldest prince.”

“Hmph… If you retreat, benwang will hand over people. Do you think benwang is afraid of you?” Xiao Tianyao snorted coldly. He was just standing there casually, but it gave people a sense of oppression. The leader had an illusion of facing the emperor of the central empire and unconsciously stepped back.

When the leader came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed. How can he be scared of a prince of a small country? To save his face, the leader said in a bad tone: “Xiao Wangye, what do you want? The eldest prince is a member of the imperial family. Well, let’s not talk about the imperial family, let’s talk about the eldest prince’s grandfather. He won’t let you go.”

The grandfather of the eldest prince was the first-rank general. Otherwise, the eldest prince wouldn’t be able to hold the black-armored guards firmly.

“Don’t worry, benwang will not kill the eldest prince.” This was Xiao Tianyao’s promise to the black-armored guards, but this promise didn’t make them feel at ease. Because……

Xiao Tianyao can destroy Xuanyuan Zhi in thousands of ways, without taking his life.

What the black-armored guards wanted to protect was not only Xuanyuan Zhi’s life, but also the possibility that he could become the crown prince.

The leader took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued: “Xiao Wangye, you let the eldest prince go, and the matter between us will be cleared up. And if we will come to the east, we will not offend you.”

This was the biggest concession that the leader of the black-armored guards can make. In his point of view, they were the ones who suffer. If they don’t care about Xiao Tianyao or seek revenge from Xiao Tianyao, they have given him a big face. If Xiao Tianyao still didn’t give in, then he can’t blame them for being impolite.

The eastern country and the other three countries have always been subordinates of the Central Empire. If any official from the Central Empire came to the four countries, the emperor would have to entertain them and please them carefully.

In the eyes of the central empire people, they were naturally superior to the people of the eastern countries. If there was a conflict between the two sides, no matter who was right or wrong, they were willing to ignore it, which can be said that they have given enough face to the other side.
