Chapter 734 I also have a condition, that is your death!

Throughout history, monarchs of all generations often shouted slogans such as "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people" and required officials to be honest and clean. However, this ideal state has never been truly realized in any era. Officials are officials and people are people, and this is no different from people in later generations.

Ordinary people often easily ask rich people or children of officials to empathize with them, but in fact, due to their completely different social environment and social status, such empathy is almost impossible to achieve.

"Kuai Tong, I really admire you more and more! Your ability is indeed outstanding. Since the point you put forward is so correct, then well, I agree with your proposal. However, I have another condition..."

After hearing Gao Yao's words, Kuai Tong remained calm on the surface, as if he had expected Gao Yao's words, but in fact, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The reason why it was so smooth was that, on the one hand, Kuai Tong had done a lot of preparation. He conducted in-depth research and analysis on the negotiations and made contingency plans for various possible situations. On the other hand, Gao Yao's decisiveness and straightforwardness far exceeded Kuai Tong's expectations. Originally, Kuai Tong thought that he would need to bargain for a while, and even wait for several days before getting Gao Yao's reply. However, the reality was so fast that Kuai Tong felt a little surprised.

As for the conditions proposed by Gao Yao, in Kuai Tong's opinion, this is not a problem at all. If Gao Yao really has no demands, that would be a truly worrying situation. After all, in such negotiations, both parties need to compromise and exchange in order to reach a final agreement.

"Please give your orders, Prime Minister!" Kuai Tong said respectfully, his tone revealing his respect and obedience to Gao Yao.

"Okay, quick words, I like it!" Gao Yao nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "My request is very simple, either you stay and serve me and become my subordinate; or you kill yourself here to show your sincerity. As long as you can do one of them, then this peace negotiation will be successful."

As Gao Yao finished speaking, Kuai Tong's expression instantly turned ugly. He looked at Gao Yao in shock, as if he couldn't believe what he heard. Kuai Tong could never have imagined that Gao Yao would actually make such a request. This was so unexpected that he was at a loss for a moment.

The more Kuai Tong thought about it, the more he found it incredible. He really couldn't understand why Gao Yao was so persistent in targeting him. After all, he was just an unknown little person, and he had never met Gao Yao before, let alone any grudges or entanglements with him. However, at this moment, Gao Yao was still pursuing him relentlessly, which made Kuai Tong feel confused and puzzled.

After coming to his senses, Kuai Tong decided not to dwell on this issue any more. He mustered up his courage, looked directly at Gao Yao, and asked, "Prime Minister, Kuai Tong really can't understand why you think so highly of a little-known person like me?"

Gao Yao raised his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. His eyes were sharp and cold, as if they could penetrate Kuai Tong's heart. He slowly said, "The reason is simple. Talents like you make me feel a little uneasy. So, you only have two choices. Either you submit to me and be used by me; or you can only become a dead soul under my sword to eliminate future troubles and ensure that you will never have the opportunity to be my enemy again in the future."

After saying that, Gao Yao pulled out a long sword from the weapon rack beside him without thinking, and threw it directly in front of Kuai Tong with a "whoosh". The long sword drew an arc in the air and landed steadily at Kuai Tong's feet, with the hilt facing him, as if to say provocatively: "Come on, make your choice!"

Gao Yao's move completely gave the right of choice to Kuai Tong himself. He looked at Kuai Tong expressionlessly, as if waiting for his decision.

Kuai Tong had never thought that Gao Yao would really want him dead before he could feel at ease. This made Kuai Tong inevitably a little angry, but at the same time he felt a little helpless. What did he rely on to make Gao Yao pay so much attention to him? Although it is said that envoys from two countries at war should not be killed, if this was one of the bargaining chips and conditions of the transaction, things might become different.

Kuai Tong thought about it for a while. If he measured it according to Wei Bao's standards, as long as he could get enough benefits, even if he had to sacrifice himself, Wei Bao would definitely agree without hesitation. Kuai Tong was very clear about this. After all, under Wei Bao, he was not the most important person. Wei Bao's subordinates were clearly divided into different levels, or in other words, their organizational structure was quite complete. Basically, those with status were former nobles. Although Kuai Tong was able to come up with such an idea at a specific moment, his fate was already doomed under Wei Bao's command.

After all, Wei Bao's achievements today are inseparable from these nobles. These nobles provided great help and support to Wei Bao, and accordingly, they also received enough benefits from Wei Bao. The relationship between the two parties is interdependent. Therefore, for Wei Bao, if he can accomplish something by sacrificing himself, Wei Bao will definitely do it without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Kuai Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, secretly lamenting the impermanence of fate. However, he did not indulge in his feelings too much, but quickly made a decision. He bent down without hesitation, picked up the long sword on the ground, held the hilt tightly, and stared straight in the direction of Gao Yao with a sharp gaze.

"Please keep your promise, Prime Minister!" Kuai Tong's voice was not loud, but it was full of determination and resoluteness. Before he finished speaking, he swung his arm violently, and the long sword in his hand flashed through the air like lightning, slashing straight towards his neck.

At this critical moment, a cold light suddenly came and hit the long sword in Kuai Tong's hand accurately. There was a crisp sound of "clang", and the powerful recoil force was transmitted along the sword. Kuai Tong felt a tingling in his arm, and the long sword in his hand slipped out of his hand and flew far away.

The person who made the move was naturally Gao Yao. He stood not far away, holding another long sword in his hand, his face as gloomy as water, expressionless. In fact, Gao Yao had no intention of really killing Kuai Tong. Not to mention how much this would affect his reputation, just to kill a person, he had to use conditions in exchange for his life, and even had to negotiate to achieve his goal. Once this matter was spread, he would probably become a laughing stock for the world.
