Xie Jingchen was only allowed to take one antidote, and Su Jin planned to extort a sum of compensation for the Daqi soldiers who had died in battle.
How could she not give a painful lesson to those who coveted her things?
But her original intention was to ask for fifty thousand taels.
After all, the antidote taken away cured Duke Huguo's poison, and they used the lives of Daqi soldiers as leverage; asking for fifty thousand taels was reasonable.
But if they really didn't agree, could she really turn a blind eye to those captured Daqi soldiers?
However, the general sent by Nanliang to negotiate was a bit foolish; he exposed that Duke Huguo hadn't been detoxified with just a few words.
Then—
Marquis Dongxiang raised the price on the spot.
If it were only to save someone else, Duke Nanliang would definitely haggle. Even if the worst case led to a break in negotiations, it wouldn't be his life at stake.
