Chapter 651: Trap

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the end, Tang Guixi accepted Xiao Juan's suggestion.

She wrote the letter herself, then tied the letter to the arrow and shot it into the open space in front of the earth wall.

Seeing this, the Chen Nation Army scout, who had been hiding nearby, immediately raised his shield and ran over. He bent down to pick up the arrow and ran away.

The arrow was handed to Marshal Chen.

He unfolded the letter and saw that it was filled with Dayan writing. He could barely recognize a few commonly used words. He could not understand the entire text even with guessing.

He could only get someone to call over an aide who understood the Dayan language.

The advisor quickly read the content in his heart and translated it into the Chen Nation language for Marshal Chen.

"Tang Guixi wrote this letter. She said she has fifty Chen Nation prisoners. She wants to make a deal with us and exchange prisoners for prisoners."

Marshal Chen placed his hands behind his back and took two steps back and forth. He quickly made a decision.

"Get someone to tell the Tang woman that I accept this deal."

The aide frowned. "This could be a setup..."

Marshal Chen raised his hand and interrupted him.

"Let me finish first."

The aide obediently shut up.

Marshal Chen Jun said, "I can exchange prisoners with them, but in order to prove that they're not cheating, they have to let Prince Min bring the prisoners over to trade with us."

The aide immediately understood what he meant.

"Are you trying to take the opportunity to capture Prince Min?" Marshal Chen said unhurriedly.

"Prince Min is the uncle of the Dayan Emperor. His status is precious."

"If we can capture him, we can use him to ask the Dayan Emperor for benefits in the future."

"No matter what the relationship between Emperor Dayan and Prince Min was, as long as the Emperor Dayan still cared about his reputation, it was impossible for him to disregard Prince Min's life."

"In that case, when we return to the court and the emperor asks why we were delayed so much in Heng City, we will have an explanation."

The advisor praised, "Marshal is so thoughtful."

At the same time, the Chen Army captives were all brought to Xiao Juan.

There were a total of three of them. For the past half a year, they had done the dirtiest and most tiring job in the military camp. They were exhausted every day, and the food they had been given could barely keep them from starving to death.

At this moment, they were hunched over, their eyes numb, their faces sallow, their clothes tattered, and they smelled bad.

Xiao Juan got someone to bring over a plate of white steamed buns and placed it in front of them.

"Eat."

The moment the three of them saw the white steamed bun, their eyes lit up in unison.

They first looked at Xiao Juan to confirm that he was not joking with them before they pounced forward, grabbed the steamed buns, and stuffed them into their mouths.
