Watching Yuan Shao's departing figure, Guishan Valley immediately understood that his younger brother's willingness to launch a coup must have been due to Yuan Shao's support.

Guishan Valley looked at Guishan Spring and shouted, "We are brothers from the same father, how could you be misled by others and harm me?"

"Ha~, brothers from the same father? When your mother beat my mother to death after our father died, so that you could secure your position, did you ever think that we were brothers?"

When you sent someone to kill my son so that he could inherit your position, did you ever consider that we were brothers?

Upon hearing this, Guishan Quan sneered, gripped his weapon tightly, and roared with a ferocious expression.

Upon hearing this, Guishan Valley's expression changed: "This... there must be some misunderstanding. Let me explain..."

"Hmph, go explain to my dead mother and son..."

Guishan Quan snorted coldly, and before Guishan Valley could finish speaking, he rushed forward and stabbed Guishan Valley in the chest with a knife.

"Ah~!"

Guishan Valley groaned in pain, opened his eyes wide, looked at his younger brother with resentment in his eyes, and then slowly collapsed to the ground.

The nobles in the hall trembled upon seeing Kameyama Izumi killed, their faces filled with fear as they looked at the long sword dripping with blood in Kameyama Izumi's hand.

Guishan Quan glanced fiercely at the group of nobles and said coldly, "Now that Guishan Valley is dead, from this day forward, I am the master of this tribe. What are your opinions?"

Faced with Guishanquan, who dared to kill his brother and seize the throne, the nobles were truly afraid. They knew that if they uttered even one more word, they would be the next to die.

"We are ready to obey your orders, sir!!"

Upon realizing this, the noble leaders all knelt down and kowtowed to show their submission.

"Haha~, good, everyone, rest assured, as long as you follow me, I will definitely lead you to conquer the other tribes and gain a higher status and more wealth!"

Having finally ascended the throne he had always dreamed of, Guishan Quan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Have you resolved all your family matters?"

Just then, Yuan Shao, who had left not long ago, also came out from the back hall.

Guishan Quan hurriedly threw away the blood-stained weapon in his hand, then bowed and stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Reporting to the Imperial Envoy, the matter has been resolved!"

Yuan Shao turned his head and glanced at the corpse on the ground: "Now that it's all settled, let's clean up. I still need to continue my lecture."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Guishan Quan agreed, and then hurriedly ordered people to carry the body out, while he himself sat down properly to the side.

Yuan Shao sat at the head of the table, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called etiquette between ruler and subject means that a subject should obey the ruler's orders. Since you have acknowledged your master, you should carefully observe etiquette and not disobey!"

"We will heed the teacher's teachings!"

Upon hearing this, the nobles in the hall understood that Yuan Shao was expressing his support for Guishanquan, and they all responded in unison.

Following this coup, the Kameyama Valley Division was officially renamed the Kameyama Spring Division.

The following day, Yuan Shao, as the Imperial Envoy of the Han Dynasty, once again sat down at the negotiating table.

This negotiation went exceptionally smoothly, and Guishanquan agreed to all of Yuan Shao's previous conditions.

In addition, Yuan Shao also signed a commercial agreement and a concession agreement with Guishan Spring.

The nobles and merchants of Guishanquan could use silver ingots and slaves as currency to purchase goods such as silk, porcelain, and fine wine from Han merchants. They were not allowed to collect commercial taxes and were guaranteed the safety of Han merchants.

At the same time, Guishanquan will set aside a vacant lot within the city for the Great Han to rent out, which will be called the Great Han Concession.

The Han Chinese are allowed to garrison troops within the concession, and Guishan Quanbu is not allowed to interfere in any affairs within it. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the concession at will without permission.

Thus, Yuan Shao's mission to Guishan Valley was successfully completed.

While ordering his men to quickly send these treaties to Hanxiang City, Yuan Shao also led his men towards the Himita tribe.

Four days later, Yuan Shao and his party arrived at the capital of the Himita tribe.

Since Himiko had already been honored as queen by the three tribes, their royal city was renamed Himiko Castle.

Himita, as the queen's father, led the nobles of the city to the city gates to welcome Yuan Shao and his entourage into the palace and prepared a sumptuous banquet.

At the banquet, Yuan Shao picked up his wine cup, glanced at everyone, and then frowned.

"I am here on behalf of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Why is your Queen not here in person?"

Himita's expression changed, and he hurriedly replied respectfully, "In response to the Imperial Envoy, Her Majesty the Queen is truly unable to appear due to her duties and the rules of our country."

"Hmph~ So, you mean your queen has no intention of negotiating peace with my Great Han?"

Yuan Shao snorted coldly and slammed his wine cup heavily on the table, spilling the wine inside.

At this time, Yuan Shao had changed from the elegant gentleman he had been in Guishan Quanbu to a domineering and tyrannical Han envoy.

The originally noisy banquet suddenly fell silent because of Yuan Shao's attack.

Himitai looked at Yuan Shao with a bitter expression: "Your Excellency, please do not misunderstand. Our tribe is very willing to negotiate peace with the Han Dynasty, but our Queen..."

Yuan Shao raised his hand, interrupting Himitai, and said in a deep voice, "Since you are willing to negotiate, then let your queen come out and talk to me in person."

Otherwise, I can only assume that you are just going through the motions.

"this......"

Himita was somewhat at a loss, faced with Yuan Shao's unreasonable behavior.
