Jiang Sui transmigrated into a historical romance novel as a background character, so insignificant that she didn’t even deserve a name in the original story. But the moment she heard the name Xiao...
Xia Wanning gave birth successfully, and Helian Jing's heart no longer hurt so much on the border battlefield.
It was like a kind of induction, he could feel that she was suffering.
The distressed feeling disappeared, and he calmed down and no longer felt anxious.
Queen Josephine couldn't help it anymore and started to attack them violently. She would no longer sit there and wait for death.
They got several large chariots, which could lift huge rocks weighing hundreds of pounds and throw them far away. This was a powerful siege weapon. The soldiers standing on the city walls could not withstand such an attack at all.
They also had shields, and when they advanced, they blocked all the attacks so that the arrows could not hurt them at all.
When they arrived at the city gate, they began to bang on it frantically. Helian Jing knew very well that they must not let them break into the city, otherwise, the people would suffer.
Unexpectedly, Daqing had not seen a war for many years, and when facing an experienced opponent, it was completely unable to understand the other party's tactics.
The most important thing is that the Rakshasa Kingdom has been fighting everywhere over the years and they are experienced. They have seen and experienced more than Daqing, so they can create such incredible weapons.
Helian Jing urgently arranged for people to pour oil from the city wall and throw torches.
Those shields are not afraid of arrows, but they must be afraid of fire, right?
Sure enough, this trick temporarily repelled the Rakshasa soldiers. Empress Josephine was a little annoyed, so she asked a translator who was proficient in the Daqing language to write a letter and tie it to the bow and arrow.
She personally drew her bow and shot at the city wall. The arrow, carrying the letter, was firmly nailed on the city wall. The soldier quickly brought the letter to Helian Jing for inspection.
After opening, the content above is:
"War is inevitable. We must either fight them squarely or hide in the city like a coward! If you don't fight back, the next time they throw stones at us, they'll be fireballs instead of rocks."
Those huge rocks have smashed some houses in the city and injured people. If she were to throw fireballs, once a fire started, large areas of houses would be destroyed. This result is naturally unacceptable.
I wanted to continue to wear them down and dampen their fighting spirit, but now I have no choice but to use my trump card in advance.
Helian Jing decided to take Fang Miao's pocket watch, open the city gate himself, and meet with Empress Joseline for a face-to-face interview.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Moyang and the Prince of Zhenbei Marquis all disapproved of his approach. He was not only their marshal, but also the crown prince of Daqing. This was too risky.
"Your Highness, this is too dangerous. How about I go in your place?"
"Let me go. The princess is still waiting for you in Kyoto. I am a man without a family, so I will die if I die!" The son of Zhenbei Marquis is still unmarried, so he can do it without distractions.
"Don't talk nonsense. I know my limits. When two armies are at war, envoys should not be killed. I believe that Queen Joseline is not the kind of person who is unreasonable."
This is the quality that a qualified superior needs to possess. If he does not have it, all that is left is cruelty, and he is not a qualified monarch.
No one could persuade him and could only let Helian Jing act according to his own ideas.
He wrote back to Queen Joscelyn, saying that he hoped to have a negotiation with her and that she would definitely be very interested in the content of the negotiation.
When Empress Joseline heard the contents of the note from the translator, she narrowed her eyes and revealed a hint of doubt.
The prince of Daqing is really bold. He actually asked her to meet him alone?
Almost immediately after she received the letter, Helian Jing rode out of the city gate slowly on horseback, wearing silver-white armor and holding a spear.
He was standing there alone. Empress Joscelyn looked through a telescope and saw that there were only soldiers guarding the city gate, and he was really waiting there alone on horseback.
She pondered for a moment, asked someone to bring her armor and horse, put on her weapons, and decided to meet the little prince.
However, she did not go alone, but brought an interpreter with her, after all, the two sides did not speak the same language.
A crimson figure appeared. She was wearing red armor and a helmet inlaid with rubies. Even the saddle and headband on her warhorse were inlaid with gems, looking very exquisite.
Helian Jing finally met the legendary empress. Although she was a woman, her majesty and pressure were just as great as his, and even tended to overshadow him.
The two talked face to face, and Queen Joseline spoke first, with a teasing tone:
"Little Prince, I admire your courage. You asked me to meet you and said you have something I'm interested in. What is it?"
The translator was like an emotionless machine, mechanically conveying the words to Helian Jing.
Helian Jing chuckled and planned to blow some rainbow farts first:
"The legend of Empress Jocelyn is considered a legend in the eyes of the people of Daqing. Today, I got to see the Empress's grace and elegance. She is truly extraordinary. Seeing is believing."
Off the horse, the translator conveyed the message in the language of Rakshasa. When Joseline heard it, she laughed.
Women all like to hear compliments, don’t they?
"Little prince, you are really good at talking. I wish my two princes had half of your courage."
"You are too kind, Queen. Both princes are excellent."
The two of them exchanged some business praise before getting down to business.
Helian Jing took out Fang Miao's pocket watch and shook it on his hand. When Empress Josephine saw it, her eyes suddenly shone with a sharp light:
"I heard that the Empress has been looking for her lost princess, and there is a token as evidence. Empress, take a look, does this thing look familiar to you?"
It looks familiar, how could it not be familiar? She has an identical one, which she wears around her neck every day.
Now, when she suddenly saw the pocket watch again, she couldn't help but think of the three years she lived in a small fishing village on the border of Daqing twenty years ago. She gave birth to a daughter, and that man treated her like a treasure. It is undeniable that the time when she lost her memory was the most carefree and warmest time in her life.
Her daughter was so adorable that whenever she thought of the days when they were separated, she would feel infinite guilt and pity.
"Where are you from? How did you know?"
"Don't worry about where I got this from, Queen, but I can confirm that the princess you are looking for is in Daqing right now. It's not too late for you to make a conclusion after you look at the woman in this portrait!"
Before Helian Jing came to the border, he had asked Xiao Hechuan to prepare a portrait of Fang Miao.
It's like a one-to-one copy and paste, even her hair is drawn very realistically.
Empress Joscelyn took one look at the portrait and felt that the woman in the portrait had an expression 50% similar to her own, and her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as the man's. The key point was that she had a pair of eyes with blue pupils, which was a characteristic of the Rakshasa people, as well as long, slightly curly hair.
