"This...this is Wanyan Xi?"

"Is it the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

When the Liao emperor saw Wanyan Xi's corpse, he was completely stunned. He had expected to see the Jin emperor in such a miserable state, but he never imagined that the Jin emperor's end would be so tragic.

To prevent the Liao emperor from not seeing the full picture after the Jin emperor's death, the prison guards really went to great lengths this time.

They invited the best craftsmen to seal the Liao emperor's body in wax. At this moment, it looked just like a lifelike wax statue, very similar to the Jin emperor's appearance when he was alive.

But in the eyes of the Liao emperor, such a realistic portrayal of the Jin emperor naturally became a ghost story that terrified him!

Because in the eyes of the Liao emperor, the Jin emperor was a foreigner, just like himself.

When the Later Jin invaded Liaodong, the Liao Kingdom did not spare the people of the Central Plains either. They intensified their actions, repeating what the Later Jin had done there, and even doing it in a more extreme way.

The thought of the consequences of offending Liu Fu made Emperor Jin look like this.

At this moment, the Liao emperor couldn't help but seriously consider his future path.

He then suddenly realized that he had been so arrogant and domineering when he came to Liaodong, acting as if he didn't take Liu Fu seriously at all.

Just thinking about these things now makes me break out in a cold sweat, and I'm drenched in sweat in no time.

"well……!"

The Liao emperor sighed deeply, at a time when he was at a loss for words to describe his anxious feelings.

If there were a pill to undo regrets, he would absolutely want to take one right now. Before coming to Liaodong and before the people of Tucheng besieged him, he would definitely lower his posture and behave himself with his tail between his legs.

I regret it!

But now, the Liao emperor not only regretted his actions, but he was also secretly observing Liu Fu's expression.

At this moment, he had to keep a close eye on Liu Fu's every move. Only in this way could he understand Liu Fu's thoughts from his body language and then quickly make amends.

The current Liao emperor, without realizing it, has already transformed into the likeness of all the civil and military officials in the court.

In the past, he was the emperor in the Liao Dynasty.

The ministers below him were extremely observant of his every word and action, trying to understand his thoughts at all times. They spent their days pondering what the emperor was thinking and how they could please him so as not to be punished one day.

The Liao emperor, without realizing it, has become the kind of person a sycophant would be. When he sees Liu Fu, he unconsciously lowers his tone and becomes even more polite than before.

"Eighth Prince, the body of the Golden Emperor is here. You made such meticulous arrangements just so I could see it, and even went to such lengths to preserve the body. I really want to thank you."

Liu Fu waved his hand and said:

"Your Majesty the Liao Emperor need not do this. This is all I should do. The Jin Emperor's last wishes were very clear: he did not wish to be buried in my Central Plains. In the Later Jin territory, his sons are fighting each other fiercely, and it has now reached a fever pitch. Even if the Jin Emperor himself returned to the Later Jin, I'm afraid he would not be able to find peace."

"Therefore, Your Majesty the Liao Emperor should respect the Jin Emperor's last wish and bring his body back to Liao for burial in your Liao Kingdom."

With Liu Fu's words, coupled with the Liao Emperor's sudden change in attitude towards Liu Fu,

The Liao emperor, who had initially refused to agree to this matter, suddenly became docile, showing remarkable understanding.

"Very well, since the Eighth Prince has said so, I agree."

"good."

"Guards, take the Jin Emperor's body out and have the Liao Emperor's guards carry it on their backs."

When the guards behind the Liao emperor heard about this, they were extremely annoyed and secretly gritted their teeth in anger.

But now we are in Liu Fu's territory, the Liaodong region of the Later Han Dynasty, and we cannot allow them to act recklessly.

No matter how unlucky the Golden Emperor's corpse was, they could only carry it on their backs and take it back to their residence.

When Liu Fu led the Liao Emperor out, he could clearly see that the Liao Emperor's expression was not good, and his face was somewhat pale.

Liu Fu didn't make things difficult for him.

In any case, the effect of making an example of someone has already been achieved.

Go inside and see the Liao emperor before the Jin emperor; he still seems somewhat unwilling and resentful, unwilling to lower his noble head.

But things are different now.

Liu Funeng could clearly sense the change in the Liao emperor's mindset from his tone.

Liu Fu decided to forgo formalities and directly addressed the Liao Emperor:

"Your Majesty should go back and rest. I imagine Your Majesty is tired today. Tomorrow, I will take you on a tour of various places in Liaodong. See you tomorrow."

Regardless of whether the Liao emperor was willing or not, Liu Fu simply sent the Liao emperor back.

The Liao emperor was indeed terrified by the Jin emperor's corpse. Even that night, he dreamt that the Jin emperor knocked on his door in his sleep, then climbed onto the Liao emperor's bed, emaciated, and sat in front of him, weeping incessantly. The gruesome sight, coupled with the Jin emperor's pale, ghostly face in the dream, truly terrified the Liao emperor, almost making him wet himself...

After Liu Fu and the others returned, Hai Rui laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of my idea this time?"

Hai Rui appeared quite pleased with himself.

Zhuge Liang pointed at Hai Rui with one finger and Xun Yu with the other, and said to both of them at the same time:

"You two are truly wicked, incredibly insidious, and your methods are truly full of cunning and treacherous schemes."

Hai Rui was delighted and simply took all of Zhuge Liang's words as praise.

Xun Yu still had to put on an act; although he had done something underhanded, he vehemently denied it:

"I merely used a few minor tricks to deal with a villain. Prime Minister Zhuge, dealing with a villain like the Liao Emperor doesn't really require any great strategies or tactics. If we were to use extraordinary methods and righteous methods against him, wouldn't that be an insult to our talents?"

Zhuge Liang immediately gave Xun Yu a disdainful look, letting him figure it out for himself.

Liu Fu, sitting up there watching all this, found it quite festive.

"Tomorrow we'll take the Liao emperor to the military granary, and then to the homes of the common people to see the sweet potatoes and potatoes. I reckon he'll surrender as soon as he sees those two things."

Xun Yu then spoke.

Liu Fu nodded in agreement:

"Alright, tomorrow we'll take the Liao Emperor to see our grain. If there's still time, we'll also take him to see the reservoir and our land in Liaodong."

Judging from the Liao emperor's reaction, everyone had a general idea by now.

The current Liao emperor, like the Later Jin, is no longer a reliable authority.

He came to Liaodong alone to gather intelligence on the Later Han dynasty, but this time, the Liao emperor may lose both his wife and his army...
