Yan Dan and Yan Fei were both injured.
Although the strength of the two of them was not bad, how could they be Xiao Qiushui's match?
"Do the two of you want to die or live?”
Meng Yu walked out from behind Xiao Qiushui and asked coldly as he looked at the two people on the snowy ground.
"Fuma, please don't kill me!”
Yan Dan pleaded.
"Yan Dan, I can spare your life. Now, I'll give you two choices. One is, I can let you leave the State of Qin, but I'll kill Lady Yan. The other option is that I can let Lady Yan go, but you must die.”
"Only one of you can live. You choose?" Meng Yu said indifferently.
"I choose the first option."
Upon hearing Meng Yu's words, Yan Dan made his choice without hesitation.
"So you're saying that you're going to let Concubine Yan die in your place? This matter originally had nothing to do with her. She ended up like this because she helped you leave the Qin country. Your choice is really disappointing.”Meng Yu said.
Yan Dan looked at Lady Yan and said,""If you really want to help me leave the Qin country, then you can fulfill my wish.”
"You…shameless!"
Hearing Yan Dan's words, Lady Yan felt disgusted. She didn't expect Yan Dan to be such a shameless person who would sell himself out just to survive.
"From now on, your matters have nothing to do with me.”
Concubine Yan said coldly to Yan Dan. She stood up and looked at Meng Yu." Prince Consort, his life and death have nothing to do with me. You can kill him or cut him up if you want."”
After saying this, Lady Yan turned around and left.
Meng Yu didn't stop her and let her leave.
Yan Dan, only one of you can live. Since Concubine Yan left alive, then…"
Before Meng Yu could finish speaking, Yan Dan fell to his knees on the snowy ground with a thud.
"Fuma, please spare me. As long as you let me go, I'll be eternally grateful to you.”
Yan Dan knelt on the ground and begged.
In order to survive, Yan Dan had already given up his dignity. He was a young master of the Yan Kingdom, but he was kneeling and begging for mercy from a ten-year-old child. This made him feel extremely humiliated.
However, in order to survive, he endured it.
"It's not impossible for me to let you go, but I have a condition.”Meng Yu said.
Although Meng Yu did not care about Yan Dan's life or death, he would not let him go so easily. He wanted to use this opportunity to extort Yan Dan.
It was not that Meng Yu had not thought of killing Yan Dan directly. However, killing Yan Dan would definitely intensify the conflict between the Yan Country and the Qin Country, which would be detrimental to the great cause of the Qin Country's unification.
Qin unified the six countries and adopted the strategy of making friends with distant countries and attacking close ones. That was, Qin had to make friends with countries that were further away from Qin first and attack Qin's neighboring countries first.
When the Qin country's neighboring countries were destroyed, the Qin country would then attack countries that were further away from the Qin country, such as the Yan country and the Qi country.
As the son of General Meng Wu and the Prince Consort of the State of Qin, Meng Yu had to prioritize the State of Qin and not act on impulse.
Killing Yan Dan was indeed a momentary pleasure, but it was disadvantageous to the State of Qin. He would not do such a thing.
"As long as you let me go, I can agree to any condition.”Yan Dan said.
"Alright, I want a hundred thousand gold taels.”Meng Yu said.
In order to capture Yan Dan, Meng Yu had spent more than ten thousand taels of gold. He wanted to earn double the amount from Yan Dan.
"A hundred thousand gold taels?"
Yan Dan was shocked.
One hundred thousand gold taels was not a small amount. Meng Yu actually wanted one hundred thousand gold taels from him. This was simply asking for an exorbitant price.
"What's wrong? 100,000 taels of gold to buy your life? Is your life not worth 100,000 taels of gold?”Meng Yu said coldly.
"But I can't afford that much money.”
Yan Dan said awkwardly.
He was a hostage in the State of Qin, and his life was not going well. How could he take out a hundred thousand taels of gold? Let alone a hundred thousand taels of gold, he probably could not even take out a few hundred taels of gold.
"This doesn't matter. You can write me an IOU. When you return to the Yan Country and become the Crown Prince, I'll ask you for it.”Meng Yu said.
"But there's no paper or pen here.”Yan Dan said.
"I'll give it to you."
Meng Yu immediately took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from his spatial ring and handed them to Yan Dan.
"Alright, I'll write it."
Yan Dan picked up the brush and wrote an IOU worth 100,000 gold taels. He also wrote his name on the IOU.
In the end, Yan Dan bit his finger and pressed his hand seal.
In ancient times, the most effective proof of a contract was a signature and a fingerprint. As long as there were these two things, the contract would be effective and no one could escape.
Yan Dan handed the IOU to Meng Yu.
Meng Yu looked at the contents of the IOU. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he put it away.
With this IOU, he was not afraid that Yan Dan would renege on his debt.
"In that case, should I leave?" Yan Dan said.
"Let's go. I wish you a smooth return to the Yan Country and become the Crown Prince.”Meng Yu laughed.
"Thank you for your kind words. Farewell!"
Yan Dan cupped his hands and bowed to Meng Yu, then turned around and left.
"The wind is blowing!"
A strong wind suddenly blew in the air. The cold wind blew on people's bodies, and it was bone-chilling.
Meng Yu could not help but shiver!
The winter this year was really cold!
Traveling in the winter, especially on snowy days, was a very painful thing. It was still more comfortable to roast the stove at home.
"I will go back!"
Meng Yu said lightly. At this moment, he really wanted to go back to the Culinary God Residence and drink a cup of hot milk to warm his body.
"Yes."
Xiao Qiushui nodded and followed Meng Yu to the jeep.
The two of them boarded the jeep. Then, Meng Yu started the jeep, and the jeep started running in the snow.
There had been a heavy snowfall yesterday, and the snow on the ground was very deep. However, the jeep could still drive in the snow.
However, the speed was a little slower than usual!
Although the weather was cold, it was very warm in the jeep.
The jeep passed through a dense forest. Suddenly, Xiao Qiushui and Meng Yu felt a strong killing intent.
"Master, there's killing intent!" Xiao Qiushui said.
"Yes!"
Meng Yu nodded. He could also feel a dense killing intent spreading out from this forest.
"Let's go and take a look."
Meng Yu and Xiao Qiushui immediately got off the jeep and rushed into the dense forest.
Just as they rushed into the dense forest, they saw blood stains on the ground. There were a few corpses in the snow.
