Chapter 141 Finally, we traveled back in time.
"Madam, General, something terrible has happened! The people of Nan Hong Kingdom have attacked!"
Hearing the soldier's words, Yu Wanwan almost fell over.
She learned from the original owner's memories that the four neighboring countries on this continent, besides Dasheng Kingdom and Black Bear Kingdom, also include Nanhong Kingdom and Donglin Kingdom.
Now even the people from the Southern Hong Kingdom have attacked?
Is this as if they're not chaotic enough already?
Peace is someone who has experienced great things and can quickly calm down.
He asked, "How many of them came?"
"Not many, probably around two thousand people."
"They are now five kilometers outside the city gate. Instead of continuing their attack, they sent someone to deliver a message."
"Their general wishes to see you, Madam."
Yu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
Only two thousand people came.
And they didn't attack immediately.
They stopped five kilometers away.
They even sent someone over to deliver a message.
This means things are not yet at an impasse.
We can still discuss it.
As long as she can keep them calm for now, once she returns from the modern world, she can use something to intimidate them and prevent them from making any rash moves.
"Come on, drive me there. Don't they want to see me? Then I'll go and meet them."
Yu Wanwan asked Heping to drive.
She opened the passenger door and got in.
Just as I closed the car door, the back door was suddenly opened.
Yu Wanwan subconsciously glanced behind her.
The next moment, she wanted to hit someone.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing here?"
"And what time is it? Why are you up so early?"
There's still an hour until dawn.
“Grandmother, I’ve heard everything. With Grandfather away, I’m the only man in our family.”
“Something has happened in Luocheng. I can’t stand idly by, so I’m going to go with you.”
"Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely protect you."
Yu Wanwan: "..."
Well, it's good to let the fourth brother gain some experience.
She didn't ask him to get out of the car anymore.
The car drove towards the north gate.
Several solar-powered lights are still hanging on the north gate.
Bright lights.
Once Yu Wanwan and the others were closer, they could clearly see the situation below the city gate.
Beneath the city gate, soldiers stood ready for battle.
They were all holding weapons.
Various obstacles have also been set up.
Be ready at any time to intercept the attacking enemy.
Seeing Yu Wanwan and her car in the distance, they made way for them.
"What about people?"
Yu Wanwan got out of the car and asked.
“They were outside, so we didn’t dare let them in.”
He Ping said, "Open the door and let them in."
Yu Wanwan nodded: "That's right, open the door and let them in."
Since we're going to talk about things, we definitely need to do it face-to-face.
If we don't let them in, are we supposed to let them out?
That definitely won't work. If their people are lying in ambush outside, she'll be kidnapped in no time if she goes out.
It would definitely be better to let them in at this point.
Once inside their territory, negotiations became more advantageous for them, and they had the final say in everything.
If things don't go well during the talks, they might even detain someone as a hostage.
The soldiers went to open the city gates.
They welcomed the person in.
Two people entered Nan Hongguo.
That shows great sincerity.
One of them was their general.
One was the strategist beside the general.
"General's wife and General, I'm sorry to have bothered you by coming to your door."
The two of them were quite polite in their opening remarks.
They wanted to put on an act, going around in circles before finally speaking.
Seeing that peace was on their side, they wanted to get them to get straight to the point and say why they had come.
Yu Wanwan quickly interrupted He Ping.
She glanced at the system subtitles in front of her.
[Ding dong, countdown to traveling to the modern era: 00 days, 03 hours, and 03 minutes]
There are still three hours left before we can travel back to the modern era.
At this point, we should try to delay as much as possible.
Since no one else is speaking up directly, they naturally have to cooperate.
It would be best to dawdle for three hours before getting down to business.
She said in a very good-natured manner, "It's alright, it's alright. Since you've come all this way, you're all guests. Why don't we make some tea first, and then sit down and rest for a while?"
"General He, quick, quick, quick, have someone make some tea. They've been traveling all night, they must be very tired now. Let them have some tea to refresh themselves."
Yu Wanwan warmly led the person to a small room under the city gate.
He even had someone make tea.
I led them through a leisurely tea-tasting session, successfully dragging things out for an hour.
Seeing that the other party finally couldn't hold back any longer and was about to get down to business.
Yu Wanwan said it was time to eat breakfast.
They then had breakfast brought to them.
The people of Nan Hong Kingdom, like them, lacked food and water.
I haven't had a full meal in a long time.
They were so excited when they first drank the water that they almost forgot why they had come all this way.
Now we see food.
They've forgotten it completely.
In an effort to buy time, breakfast was prepared to be particularly lavish, and consisted of foods that were difficult to eat.
For example, walnuts.
For example, fish with a lot of bones.
I managed to dawdle for another hour.
After the two men from Nan Hongguo had eaten and drunk their fill, they could no longer delay.
Yu Wanwan looked at the countdown and saw that there was less than an hour left.
I wasn't that panicked.
That's why they weren't kept in suspense any longer.
"We have also learned that you have food and water..."
Yu Wanwan and the others were not at all surprised to hear this answer.
Only this reason can explain why they would come to attack them in the middle of the night.
They came here for food and water.
They will not attack them again as long as they are given food and water as they demand.
We could even form an alliance with them to deal with the other two countries.
And if you are unwilling to meet their demands, they will not be polite.
Even though the two of them are still within the territory of the Great Sheng Kingdom.
But they all carried something to transmit signals.
Once the negotiations break down, a signal will be sent out, and someone will return to Nan Hong Kingdom to relay the message. At that point, Nan Hong Kingdom will mobilize more soldiers to attack.
"I understand your request, but this matter is of great importance."
“Our general is not in the city right now, so I need to discuss this matter with the other generals.”
"So, could you give us half an hour to discuss this?"
[Ding-dong, countdown to returning to the modern era: 00 days, 00 hours, 50 minutes]
We'll be back in the modern world in 50 minutes.
Yu Wanwan stared at the order form in her hand.
The above are the demands made by the people of Nanhong.
Five million tons of grain and ten million tons of water.
There's no way I can give you anything.
Then let's just drag it out.
The two men from Nan Hongguo exchanged a glance, both feeling full of confidence.
Besides, we've already waited this long, so we don't mind waiting another half hour.
He nodded.
Yu Wanwan asked He Ping and the others to discuss it.
She found a place to lie down.
There are less than fifty minutes left, surely nothing else can happen?
Thankfully, things have really calmed down for a while now.
