Ji Youze heard this and his lips twitched.
"Are you suspecting I'm a spy?"
General Liu hurriedly said, "This general wouldn't dare, but caution is never a mistake."
"Lives are at stake, I'm telling you, Princess Pearl is crucial to the diplomatic relations between Dongyue and the Great Han. If she dies under the city walls of the Great Han, I'll have your life!"
Upon hearing this, General Liu couldn't help but frown and said, "But Dongyue no longer exists, its royal family either dead or fled, and Dongyue's Chancellor has long since ascended to the throne. Rescuing Princess Pearl now is tantamount to opposing the new ruler of Dongyue. When war breaks out between the two countries, what will you do then?"
General Liu wasn't without brains; Princess Pearl had been asking for help outside for four days now.
Before this, Dongyue's pursuit troops hadn't arrived yet, and she was just routinely asking under the city walls for the Great Han to open the gates and let them in.
