"Your Majesty, a scout has reported that all the towns within a radius of several hundred miles outside the city have been burned to the ground by a group of barbarians."

"These barbarians burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities."

"The local people have suffered enormous losses."

Upon hearing this, Ekaterina frowned.

Without even thinking, it's obvious who this group of people who burned, killed, and looted were.

He looked at where Jiang Tian was.

Jiang Tian was chatting and laughing with several palace maids.

The palace maids burst into laughter at Jiang Tian's antics, and Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu became the subjects of their conversations.

Jiang Tian and his group were surrounded by girls.

These girls asked all sorts of questions.

The relationships between men and women in the Rakshasa Kingdom were already chaotic.

These women are not conservative in their thinking.

Seeing Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba, who could lift heavy Tsar Cannons, the girls were overjoyed.

Many girls already want to have babies with Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.

Jiang Tian was the lord of both Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.

He was accompanied by two fierce tigers.

The girls naturally regarded Jiang Tian as even more powerful than Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.

These girls were like bees to flowers when they saw Jiang Tian and his two companions.

Catherine found the laughter of the palace maids extremely grating.

She glared fiercely at the palace maids.

However, all the palace maids focused their attention on Jiang Tian and his two companions.

These palace maids seemed to have forgotten that more than 100 guards had just died inside the palace.

Where did Kutuzov go?

"Where are his 200,000 elite soldiers now?" Catherine didn't want that group of Hunnic cavalry who had been burning, killing, and looting everywhere to rush in.

By then, St. Petersburg will be reduced to ashes, and her palace will be lost as well.

"Your Majesty, we have sent someone to contact Marshal Kutuzov. He and his troops are heading straight for St. Petersburg."

“Your Majesty, I think we should summon all the Tatar cavalry; these Cossacks are not far from us,” Konstantin said quickly.

“These Cossack cavalry are extremely powerful. As long as we give them the order, they can reach the vicinity of the capital within a day.”

"With these Cossack cavalrymen, we'll be able to handle these barbarians much better."

"Then hurry up and go!" Ekaterina practically roared.

"I don't believe that the 500,000 soldiers in the camps outside the city can be ready at any time. I don't think that this group of barbarians can make much of a splash near St. Petersburg."

"yes……"

"Furthermore, Jiang Tian and the other two have already entered the palace, and I have absolutely no intention of letting them leave."

“My palace is not a place where these barbarians can come and go as they please.”

"I understand Your Majesty's meaning."

Konstantin quickly turned and left.

Ekaterina walked towards Jiang Tian with a smile.

"Lord Jiang Tian, ​​I wonder if you are enjoying your time in this palace?"

Jiang Tian glanced at Catherine: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. I'm having a great time here."

Jiang Tian looked up at the sky.

The sky in the distance was already obscured by black smoke.

Even the sun was not very clear.

“Lord Jiang Tian,” Ekaterina pointed to the sky, “tell me what’s going on there?”

"Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, there's a fire." Jiang Tian sighed as he looked into the distance. "Oh dear, it seems the fire is quite large. How come so many places are on fire at the same time?"

"Lord Jiang, I also need to ask you, what exactly is going on? Your people are acting recklessly."

Jiang Tian held up a finger and shook it in front of Catherine: "Your Majesty, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. How would I know how you caught fire?"

"I told you long ago that I came here for two purposes, the main one of which is to do business with you."

But I now see that you are not qualified to do business with us at all.

When Jiang Tian arrived at the palace, he discovered that it was a place that was all show and no substance.

These people were preoccupied with nothing but theft, prostitution, arson, murder, and looting.

If they can deal with you, they absolutely don't want to do business with you fairly.

All they could think about was how to burn, kill, and loot.

"As long as your goods are of good quality and inexpensive, we are naturally willing to do business with you."

Good quality and low price.

Jiang Tian frowned: "Your mind is full of good things. There aren't that many good things in the world."

Why should the products we sell to you be of high quality and low price?

In business, we believe in getting what you pay for.

"If the goods are of good quality, you have to pay me a high price. If you don't have the money, then stop pretending."

"Also, don't expect to use any underhanded tactics against us." Jiang Tian pointed at Ekaterina's chest. "If you dare to use any underhanded tactics against me, Jiang Tian, ​​I think my men can crush your pretty face."

Ekaterina's already fair face became even paler after hearing Jiang Tian's words.

“I think Lord Jiang has misunderstood. I am willing to improve relations with your country,” Ekaterina said.

"Whether we can build a good relationship depends on the fighting strength of your 200,000 troops. I think we'll see the results tomorrow." Jiang Tian puffed out his chest after saying this.

“You keep saying that the people of the Great Xia Dynasty are a bunch of barbarians, but in our eyes, you are the real uncivilized barbarians.”

"If my team can easily defeat you, then what right do you have to do business with us fairly?"

What right do you have to try and get along with me?

"At that time, you were just our vassal state. I would probably even look down on being my vassal state."

Jiang Tian's words sounded aggressive to Ekaterina.

The young girl never expected that in just a few hours, Jiang Tian's attitude towards her would change dramatically.

"Your Excellency Jiang, I think we should sit down and have a calm discussion. I have prepared a sumptuous dinner, and we can eat and talk at the same time."

"Okay, I hope you didn't do anything underhanded with these dinners."

"Otherwise, I can make you wish you were dead." Jiang Tian laughed after saying that.

Ekaterina stood there, unsure of what to do.

Half an hour later.

Inside the palace's dining room.

One after another, enormous crystal chandeliers were lit and slowly rose.

A ten-meter-long marble dining table was laden with a dazzling array of delicious dishes.

More than 100 palace maids stood there serving them.
