Chapter 501 If you want to surrender, you have to show your attitude!

"Lord Wu She, why are you laughing? Do you look down on me? I have come here on the orders of our king, and you look down on me like this? Is this what the King of Qin calls hospitality?" Ma Yu faced Wu She's unbridled laughter head-on without any intention of backing down. Instead, he straightened his body, opened his eyes wide, and continued to rebuke Wu She's rude behavior righteously.

Wu She snorted coldly and said in a harsh voice: "Ma Yu, are you really unaware of the current situation? Who gave you the courage to speak so arrogantly here!" Before he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" and Wu She slammed the table in front of him with his palm.

Instantly, wood chips flew everywhere, and the cups on the table began to bounce. At the same time, the soldiers waiting outside the door heard the news and rushed into the main hall in an instant. They were well-trained and moved as fast as the wind. In the blink of an eye, they were beside Ma Yu, grabbed him tightly without saying anything, and forced him to kneel on the ground.

Wu She slowly stood up and looked down at Ma Yu who was kneeling on the ground. A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He said coldly: "Ma Yu, Ma Yu, I really can't understand what kind of confidence the King of Qi gave you, so that you can't recognize the huge gap in our strength and dare to speak nonsense here! Humph, do you really think that I dare not take your life?"

At this moment, Wu She's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Ma Yu. The words he spoke were even more impolite, and every word seemed to be wrapped in endless anger and contempt. His tone was not only full of indignation, but also mixed with a hint of ridicule.

If the two sides were equally strong, then Ma Yu's tough attitude might not be a big mistake. However, the current situation was not like that. The one who was surrounded was the King of Qi, Tian Du himself! Although the King of Qi still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, in reality, their combat effectiveness did not have a clear advantage over Wang Ben and his son in Hanzhong.

Ma Yu held his head high, showing no fear, and shouted loudly: "Haha, let me go! If you really want to kill me, then go ahead! Even if I die, I, Ma Yu, will never surrender to you, a bunch of villains! Since ancient times, when two countries are at war, they never kill envoys. This is an eternal rule. Whether the enemy country is weak and our country is strong, or our country is weak and the enemy is strong, this rule should be followed."

"As the saying goes, 'A man without integrity cannot stand, and a matter without integrity cannot be resolved.' Even if I, Ma Yu, die here today, I will stick to the reputation of loyalty and righteousness! But whether it is the King of Qin or the powerful Gao Yao, their behavior of bullying the weak and disregarding morality will surely be despised and criticized by future generations, and they will be branded as incompetent, tyrannical and cruel!"

Listening to Ma Yu's words, Wu She looked up to Ma Yu for a moment. Ma Yu was so courageous even when he was about to die from the sword and axe. This made Wu She admire him. Wu She knew very well that what Gao Yao lacked more now was talent.

Thinking of this, Wu She's face darkened and he swung his arm violently. Seeing this, the soldiers immediately loosened Ma Yu's hands, slowly retreated, and finally left the main hall.

At this time, Ma Yu was slightly startled when he saw Wu She release him so easily. However, he quickly recovered and stood there with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking proud, like an unshakable mountain.

"Hmph! You're smart. In that case, this general will forgive your presumptuous behavior this time. But you must remember, if there is a next time, I will not let you off easily!" Wu She said coldly, his tone full of disdain and majesty.

Then, he stared at Ma Yu with a sharp gaze and continued, "Well, considering that you are still loyal to your master, I will not pursue today's matter. I just don't know what the King of Qi wants to convey? You might as well say it directly. As for wanting to see the King of Qin or the Prime Minister, hehe... With your identity as a mere envoy of the King of Qi, it is really not worth it for us to mobilize so many troops. I believe you should know this truth very well, right? The King of Qi today is just a piece of fat meat in front of my powerful Southern Border Army. When to eat this piece of meat depends entirely on our mood and willingness. Therefore, you'd better be smart and don't do those futile actions. Otherwise, don't blame this general for being rude and asking you to go home immediately!"

After saying that, Wu She sat down directly and stared at Ma Yuan. Ma Yu listened to Wu She's words and his expression became a little nervous. After a while, he finally returned to normal. He knew that what Wu She said was right.

For Wu She, if he really killed Ma Yu, it would be just as he said. It would not only damage the reputation of the Southern Border Army, but also make him a loyal and righteous man. Wu She would naturally not do such a thing that would not be worth the loss.

"This... The King of Qi actually ordered me to discuss the surrender with the King of Qin!" After a long silence, Ma Yu thought to himself: If I continue to be so arrogant, Wu She will really ignore me, and it will be harder than ascending to heaven to meet Gao Yao. Thinking of this, he simply gritted his teeth and told the real purpose of his visit.

After hearing what Ma Yu said, Wu She was stunned for a moment, and then a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. The news that Jiang Lu went to the county city to meet Gao Yao had already spread. With Wu She's wisdom, it was not difficult for him to guess the other party's intention of coming this time, as well as this obvious conspiracy. Wu She did not intend to take this opportunity to show off his intelligence. After all, this strategy was not very profound, and he must not be the only one who could see through the mystery. At this moment, he was more concerned about how Gao Yao would deal with the current situation.

Now, even the King of Qi has come to join in the fun, but compared with the powerful and complicated background of the Qin imperial family, the problems faced by the King of Qi are obviously much simpler. Gao Yao has more options for whether to accept the King of Qi's surrender proposal.

"Oh? The King of Qi is ready to surrender, so what are the conditions?" Wu She did not hesitate to ask directly what the King of Qi's conditions were.

"The King of Qi is willing to submit to the King of Qin, but he only hopes that the King of Qin can treat the King of Qi well and give the King of Qi a certain fiefdom. The King of Qi is willing to pay tribute every year and be a vassal every year!" Ma Yu did not hesitate and directly stated his conditions. However, Wu She, who heard this condition, sneered.
