Su Ping's words sounded to Wu Yong like a horror story.

He looked at Su Pingbei, his eyes full of wariness.

In the distance, the soldiers of the Iron Pagoda seemed to notice something amiss. The soldiers who were originally sitting or resting or chatting with each other also stood up one by one.

The soldiers of Tiefutou stood up one by one, trying to get closer to Wu Yong. This immediately caught the attention of other Qin troops, who also began to quickly surround them.

The previous moment they were comrades-in-arms, fighting side by side. Now, the atmosphere between them was thick with tension.

Everyone stood sharply divided, on either side facing each other with icy stares. The forest floor was covered in snow, and the air hung heavy with a chilling tension.

Su Pingbei, on the other hand, seemed calm and collected. He chomped down on his hard ration in a few bites, rubbed some snow off a tree trunk and stuffed it into his mouth as if it were water. He clapped his hands together, then turned to his guards and soldiers beside him and snarled, "What are you all doing crowding around here Do I need an audience when I eat Are your bellies full enough that you don't need to eat or rest Then get out there and patrol! Don't let the Liao army bite your butts before you even know it!"

Su Ping's outburst of anger caused the surrounding guards and Qin soldiers to silently retreat a few steps.

Seeing this, Wu Yong also raised his hand and waved it, saying, "All of you go back and do your own things!"

The Tie Futou soldiers obediently sat back down. Everyone silently leaned against the tree trunk to rest, munching on whatever rations they had, but they all instinctively stopped chatting and stared intently in the direction Wu Yong and Su Ping were headed.

Standing on one side, Gzaylaio let out a relieved sigh.

She could just feel it, a revolt was on the verge of erupting. If it did, even with her joining in, Su Pingbei would likely be no match for Tie Futou.

I'm not going to beat around the bush.

Supingbei grinned at Wu Yong, "The situation is clear now. The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun are seen by Your Highness as untrustworthy and must be dealt with before the decisive battle. There are two ways to do this: one is to kill them all. It takes effort and carries some risk, but the benefit is absolute peace of mind."

Another option would be to have someone step forward and try to persuade them to abandon their unrealistic fantasies, leaving it up to the government to handle things. The benefits of this approach are simplicity, convenience, no risk, and fewer deaths.

Wu Yong immediately understood Su Pingbei's, or rather Li Chen's, meaning. He gritted his teeth and said: "You want me to be the one who goes to persuade them to surrender"

"Or else"

Su Ping coldly smiled and said, "Are we really just going to have a pointless conversation here This road is the only way for the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun to go from Wolong Mountain straight to the Liao army. If they appear here, it means they've made the choice that His Royal Highness the Prince least wants to see - which is why you were sent to persuade them. It's not that His Royal Highness can't handle them, but he considers the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun a precious asset cultivated by the imperial court with great effort. Besides, King Ning was at the head of this rebellion, and most of these generals who lead troops are still salvageable. That's why he showed mercy. So, this persuasion is actually you, representing His Royal Highness, giving them a way out."

"A way out has been provided, whether you are willing to cooperate or not, their obedience or disobedience will determine the final fate of this group of people."

Su Ping spread his hands, "The life and death of 140,000 soldiers depends on your decision, General Wu."an overwhelming presence that sought to subdue Li Chen.Su ZhenTing stood beside her, his brow furrowed into a knot of concern.This situation is utterly hopeless.The main reason was that they were comp...
