Upon hearing this, Lin Mo smiled faintly, "Oh, you lowly maids, you've really got a clever plan!"

Our four countries?

Did they divide up Great Xia?

Why should you give up the territory of my Great Xia?

The conflict between me and Wei Maozhen was an internal struggle within the Great Xia Dynasty.

Whether I, Lin Mo, become emperor or Wei Maozhen becomes a puppet, I will rule from behind the scenes. What does it have to do with you?

Lose? Impossible!

(Of course, it has to be this way, hahaha!)

Xu Chu, by this time, understood as well. "What utter nonsense!" he roared. "You dare to covet my Great Xia's territory? Let me tell you, don't even think about it in your next life!"

Lin Mo snorted coldly, "Did you three envoys hear that?"

Shibasaki Nobukatsu seemed to have anticipated Lin Mo's reaction. He calmly stood up again and said, "Your Highness, the Prince of Shu, as far as I know, you only have tens of thousands of men under your command. How can you possibly defeat Wei Maozhen's million-strong army!"

Nobukatsu Shibasaki deliberately used the figure of "a million people" to put Lin Mo down.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Luo Jinrong agreed. "Although you are a skilled warrior, the outcome of a battle with tens of thousands against a million is predictable! But if we send troops to help, overthrowing the Empress will not be difficult!"

Lin Mo didn't want to waste words with them and immediately said, "Three envoys, whether I send troops, when I send troops, and whether I can defeat the treacherous ministers around His Majesty are all internal matters of my Great Xia. You three need not worry about them!"

Upon hearing this, Nobukatsu Shibasaki burst into laughter again, and the other two joined in.

"Your Highness, are you determined to fight a losing battle?" Shibasaki Nobukatsu said. "There is an old saying in Great Xia: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' I hope Your Highness will not act rashly!"

The other two envoys also wanted to say something, but Lin Mo interrupted them, "Distinguished guests, let's leave it at that." He said, "If you are here as guests, I will treat you with courtesy. If you have any other ulterior motives, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Nobukatsu Shibasaki's expression changed. "Your Highness, we tried to reason with you, but you not only refused to listen but also said such rude things. It's truly disappointing," he said. "You're a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush with you!"

After finishing his sentence, Shibasaki Nobukatsu deliberately paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Everything has two sides. You are unwilling to form an alliance with us, but your enemy, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia, dreams of taking your head!"

Lin Mo was not surprised. He said calmly, "Oh? I wonder what benefits His Majesty promised to your Emperor?"

Let's be honest, there's no need to pretend, it's exhausting!

If you help Wei Maozhen, you certainly won't let him get away with it for free!

“Aji-dong!” Nobukatsu Shibasaki gave his answer quite frankly.

Wow, you guys have quite the appetite!

Jidong is somewhat like the Liaodong Peninsula in China; Wei Maozhen was willing to give up such a large piece of land.

When women go crazy, it's truly terrifying.

At the same time, this still can't satisfy you?

Shibasaki Nobukatsu's reason for coming to Nishikawa Castle was clearly to gain more; otherwise, why would he be here? To find Lin Mo and become sworn brothers?

Hmph, do you think I, Lin Mo, am a pushover, easier to manipulate than the Empress, and would obediently cooperate with you and give you more land?

However, it's really not your fault for having limited thinking.

Yes, I, Lin Mo, only have tens of thousands of men under my command, and I only possess this one territory in Shu.

On paper, their strength is indeed much "weaker" than Wei Maozhen's!

"Well? Your Highness, are you willing to consider it?" Shibasaki Nobukatsu asked with a smile.

“I think His Highness is a wise man, capable of understanding the bigger picture and accomplishing great things!” Wei Hao echoed. “Otherwise, my Emperor would be happy to have a talk with your adversary!”

Oh, so you're threatening me now, huh?

If I don't agree to give more, you'll join forces with Wei Maozhen to kill me, right?

Lin Mo grinned and coldly replied, "Show him out!"

"What?" Shibasaki Nobukatsu and the other two were immediately startled. "Your Highness, what did you say?"

They were thinking, "We are envoys, after all. Even if you don't agree, you don't have to send us away!"

You, a mere prince of Shu, with such a small army under your command, are telling us this?

Where did they get the courage?

"When I said 'see you out!', I meant 'get out!'" Lin Mo repeated.

"You..." Shibasaki Nobukatsu was furious. "Your Highness, do you know what you're saying? Do you know what the consequences of speaking like this will be? You!"

Today is New Year's Day, and Lin Mo didn't want these three guys to spoil his mood, so he said, "If you don't want to leave, I will have Xu Chu use his axe to ask you to leave."

"What? Want to give it a try?"

Xu Chu's double axes had been itching for a fight for a long time. Upon hearing this, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Guards, bring me my axes!"

Upon seeing Xu Chu's fierce and menacing appearance, the three envoys immediately panicked.

They believed that Lin Mo was not joking.

"Get out of here!" The King of Shu of Great Xia raised his voice, "If today were not New Year's Day, and if my queen and father-in-law were not here, I would definitely take the heads of the three of you and use them to consecrate the military flag!"

"You...you...you..." Nobukatsu Shibasaki stretched out his trembling right hand, unable to utter a second word for a long time.

"Hmph, let's go!" Luo Jinrong tried to regain some of his composure.

But just as he hardened his stance, Xu Chu jumped onto the table. "Damn it, get out of here! What are you babbling about?" Xu Chu roared. "If you utter another word, I'll tear your mouth apart and make sure you can never utter a single word again!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jinrong immediately went limp.
