The envoys from the Prince of Jin's Palace were badly tricked and suffered a loss, and they could not express their grievances in words.

They were angry and deliberately made things difficult at the negotiation table, refusing to give in even a little.

But the Xiliang delegation's response was very cold. They ate and drank to their heart's content at the negotiation table every day, and the various snacks changed in rotation, with no two dishes being the same.

Just like that, the Prince of Jin sat there doing nothing while the Xiliang delegation across from them ate and drank. It was completely different and clearly separated.

Lord Jin was almost furious, "This is a negotiation, not a tea party."

Look, there is a food box in front of each person opposite, with a wide variety of food, which is really enviable.

That's right, the atmosphere is wrong.

Mu Wanqing picked out her food box and included all her favorite foods, including this little cream square.

She tasted the cake elegantly, paired with black tea, perfect. "No one says you can't eat or drink at the negotiation table."

Lord Jin felt something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Aren't you in a hurry at all?"

Mu Wanqing smiled very sweetly, "You are not in a hurry, so why should we be in a hurry? We are free anyway, so why not have some fun?"

Mu Jinyao, who was a wallflower nearby, couldn't help but shiver when she saw this smile.

I don’t know who’s going to be unlucky.

But the others knew nothing about this, and Lord Jin couldn't understand what they were up to, so he tried to test them in various ways.

But Mu Wanqing and her group kept a tight rein on the secrets, and no one could ask them a single question.

It was a new day again. The Jin Palace delegation was in a mess. They finished their breakfast slowly and met with the Xiliang delegation slowly.

He spoke insignificant words and was very perfunctory.

The prince had already sent a letter, saying that we should delay for a while and not let the opponent succeed easily.

He even hinted that he had a secret operation and asked them to fully cooperate.

Okay, let's just drag it out.

Mu Wanqing held her chin with her hand and drank the sweet soup intermittently, looking very relaxed.

This doesn't look like a negotiation, it looks more like an outing, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Tada ta." The sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and Xiliang's entourage ran over with panicked looks on their faces.

"Sir, the Du family army attacked Qinzhou last night, and Qinzhou has fallen into the hands of Xiliang."

Like a thunderclap, the faces of the Jin Palace envoys changed drastically. They all stood up and looked towards the direction of Qinzhou.

Qinzhou belongs to the Prince of Jin's Palace. It is a barren and barren place, and it cannot be poorer. Its only advantage is that it borders Fufeng City.

Lord Jin looked suddenly at the Xiliang delegation. Seeing their calm expressions, a flash of enlightenment came into his mind. Had they known this a long time ago?

OK, I've been playing tricks on them all along.

He was furious. "How dare you, Xiliang, start a war without authorization during the negotiation? You don't keep your word."

Although they didn't care about that poor place, this was a blatant slap in the face of the Prince Jin's Mansion.

Mu Wanqing's expression remained unchanged. "This is the price you pay for your lack of sincerity. You deserve it."

She knew exactly what they were doing, so she just watched them quietly.

"I can't wait to visit Qinzhou in Xiliang." She emphasized the word "Xiliang" and made the other person so angry that his mouth was crooked.

Lord Jin retorted, "You have made a wrong calculation. The land in Qinzhou cannot grow crops. There is no grass growing on it. It is useless to take it."

Mu Wanqing deliberately put on a cheerful look, "As long as I can disgust you guys, that's enough."

No grass growing? That must be saline soil. She has a way to adjust it so that it can still be planted.

MD, is this human language? Who would have thought that the Princess of Qingping County would be so cruel?

Lord Jin could no longer bear it, "Your troops should withdraw from Qinzhou immediately, immediately, immediately."

Mu Wanqing retorted on the spot, "We conquered the city with our own strength, why should we retreat? It's very expensive to send out troops. Besides, who gave you the right to order me around? Are you worthy? People with mental problems should stop talking."

Lord Jin was so angry that he pointed at Mu Wanqing and trembled, "Are you officially declaring war on our Prince Jin's Mansion?"

"No, no, who told you to drag your feet and waste my time? Just think about it, I'm a person who earns tens of thousands of dollars a day, how much have I lost in these few days? I would be letting myself down if I don't make up for it." Mu Wanqing was just deliberately making trouble, so what?

"So, if you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for not doing your job. The responsibility lies entirely with you."

The Jin Palace Envoys: ...Shameless to the extreme.

The veins on Lord Jin's forehead were throbbing, and his blood was boiling. "You are confusing right and wrong, calling a horse a zebra. You are unreasonable. Mu Wanqing, you will pay a heavy price for your willfulness."

"Are you threatening me? Well, I'll help you." Mu Wanqing said loudly, "Pass the order down, attack Xucheng immediately and take Xucheng today."

Everyone was stunned by her actions. What a lunatic! She attacked the city as soon as she disagreed with someone. How could she be so capable?

At her command, the soldiers really began to attack the city.

She still felt it was not enough, and sneered, "Master Jin, the lives lost and the city fell all because of your words. Congratulations, you have achieved unprecedented success."

Lord Jin was so angry that his eyes went dark, he spat out blood, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The envoys from Prince Jin's Mansion were shocked and gathered around. Lord Jin was the highest-ranking one and the one in charge. He made the decisions on all matters, big or small.

As for Mu Jinyao, he is just a decoration.

Mu Wanqing pouted with disgust, "That's all? How come you are more fragile than a girl? The King of Jin was so blind to pick a loser like you to be his envoy. Look, you are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. This war was started because of you, you are a monster that has brought disaster to the country and the people!"

Every word is like a sharp sword, piercing the heart.

Lord Jin: ...He doesn't want to live anymore, so let him die.

Lord Li felt so tired when he saw his boss pretending to be dead. How could the situation become like this?

"County Lady, Lord Jin was confused for a moment. Please don't bother with him. I apologize to you on his behalf. I beg you to take back your decision. Peace is hard-won..."

"It's too late." Mu Wanqing laughed. How can you, a traitor, talk about how peace is hard-won? It's so funny.

Lord Li had no way to deal with her, so he could only look for another target. "Miss Du, please try to persuade her. Don't let your temper ruin the peace we have worked so hard to achieve."

Unexpectedly, Miss Du was even more ruthless, "County Lady, I think we can only vent our anger if we capture a few more cities. This is what happens when you treat us like monkeys."

Lord Li regretted it very much. If he had known this would happen, he would have done it more quickly.

"Nothing happened. It was a misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding."

But no one paid any attention to him. Lord Li looked at Mu Zicheng again. Forget it, he was Mu Wanqing's biological brother and a natural ally.

He looked at the most mature man, "Lord Sun, you are the oldest and most rational and calm. Tell them that many people will die in the war, and it is a sin."

Lord Sun thought seriously for a while, "Isn't this simple? You can ask the soldiers defending Xucheng to surrender, then there will be no casualties and everyone will be happy."

What he said made so much sense that it was impossible to refute.

The Jin Palace delegation is so desperate. Damn, they are all villains, all bastards.

But, why did he do such a ruthless thing for no reason?

Soon, the answer came.

"County Lady, yesterday the Prince of Jin's Mansion gathered 80,000 troops to attack Fufeng City, but they were repelled by Marshal Du's army. The army has been completely defeated and is fleeing everywhere."

Mu Wanqing smiled, "Prince Jin's plan was a sneak attack, but unfortunately, he didn't expect Du Shaoxuan to be in Fufeng City."

Du Shaoxuan did not show up, but he was very close, ready to take action at any time.

Of course, to the outside world, he was stationed in Liangcheng to fill the power vacuum.

The envoys from Prince Jin's Palace looked at each other, feeling like crying but without tears.

It turned out that this was a counterattack from Xiliang, and it was too fierce.

No wonder the prince asked them to talk slowly and not be in a hurry.

Mu Wanqing snorted coldly, "Your delegation has kept us in the dark for so long. Let me think about how to repay your kindness."

The faces of the Jinwangfu envoys turned pale. Lord Li no longer cared about the old grudges and was eager to clear himself from the matter. "No, no, we didn't know about it beforehand. Really, I swear."

"We really don't know."

Mu Wanqing stabbed him hard, "Didn't you say you were a confidant? Is that it?"

The envoys from the Prince of Jin's Palace felt very disappointed and mixed emotions.

As proud as I was when I was chosen, I feel as depressed now.

I thought I was valued, but in fact I was a discarded pawn, and I felt disappointed.

The most annoying thing is that Mu Wanqing also pointed out this fact, "I understand, you are not an embassy at all, you are clearly cannon fodder coming here to die."

It hurts!

"When two armies are at war, envoys should not be killed."

"It depends on my mood." Mu Wanqing is so arrogant.

The Jin Palace delegation watched helplessly as the Du family army attacked the city and broke through the city gate an hour later.

How should I put it? The resistance of the soldiers defending the city was just a token, and they did not organize a strong resistance.

In fact, the city gate was opened by people inside.

The members of the delegation stared in amazement and disbelief, as if they were watching a friendly match.

A thought flashed through Lord Li's mind, "Princess Qingping, it's you, what on earth did you do?"

See she just eats, drinks and has fun every day, she doesn't do anything.

Mu Wanqing didn't do anything, but her subordinates were not idle.

"It's nothing. I just send people in to lobby every day. I promise to lead everyone out of poverty, everyone will have enough to eat, officials will not kill the rich, and they will be allowed to come and go freely."

Other people’s lobbying has no effect, but Mu Wanqing is different. Her reputation is so good and her political achievements are so outstanding that everyone is eager to be under her control and lead a good life.

The people of Xiliang lived such a good life, and they were envious. Now it is finally their turn, and they are overjoyed. Let’s unite and surrender.

Mr. Li:...

Therefore, they are the fools. Not only were they kept in the dark by their master, but they were also fooled by Mu Wanqing.

Sun Tongzhi and Mu Zicheng followed the large army into the city, transferred power, and were responsible for the aftermath.

Mu Wanqing and Miss Du stayed.

Seeing that everything was irreversible, the Jin Palace delegation had no choice but to give in and beg for a way to survive.

Mu Wanqing looked at the members of the delegation kneeling on the ground and raised her eyebrows. "Okay, I'm in a good mood today. Just hand over the valuables on you and leave. I won't kill you."

Everyone was overjoyed and couldn't wait to hand over the gold, silver and jewelry on their bodies.

Lord Li handed the remaining 200,000 silver notes to Mu Wanqing, feeling so complicated that words could not describe it.

After all, I can't keep it.

Mu Jinyao also took off all the jewelry on her body, leaving nothing behind, and looked at Mu Wanqing vaguely, her eyes full of anticipation.

Mu Wanqing said calmly, "Mu Jinyao, stay."

Lord Jin stopped pretending to be faint and anxiously stopped him, "No, she is the woman of the Prince of Jin..."

Before he could finish his words, Mu Wanqing waved her hand to interrupt him, "Go back and tell Prince Jin to thank him for the gift. I appreciate it."

Mr. Jin was unable to react for a moment, "What gift?"

Mu Wanqing pointed at Mu Jinyao and said meaningfully, "He knows that I am petty and vindictive, and he also knows that the eldest branch of the Mu family and I have an irreconcilable hatred, so he deliberately sent Mu Jinyao to me as a gift, so that I can torture Mu Jinyao severely to vent my hatred."

She was talking nonsense in a serious manner, and everyone was half-believing and half-doubting. After all, it was not the first time that the Prince of Jin behaved unkindly.

Everyone looked at each other, ah, there is this meaning?

The Prince of Jin is a bit of a scumbag. Although he is not fussy about trivial matters when it comes to achieving great things, it is too cold-hearted of him to just throw his concubine away.

Mu Jinyao burst into tears, heartbroken, "I love the prince so much, I'm willing to sacrifice my life for him, but why didn't he tell me the truth? Why did he hide everything from me? He lied to me! My heart hurts so much, I don't want to live anymore."

When a beautiful woman sheds tears, I feel pity for her.

However, in the process of crying and making a fuss, she slandered the Prince of Jin to the point of shit, and his character collapsed, which tore a rift in the hearts of everyone in the Prince of Jin's delegation.

If such a heartless and ungrateful person becomes the emperor, will he really treat his meritorious officials well?

Mu Wanqing glanced at her indifferently, thinking that she was smart and knew how to cooperate.
