Sauna Kingdom originally thought that everything was fine since the Xia Kingdom Emperor was not pursuing the matter, but when he saw this so-called princess suddenly smiling so brightly at him, he had a bad feeling.
"Then... shall we see for ourselves?"
Unfortunately, he knew he was in the wrong earlier, and if he refused now, he was afraid they wouldn't be able to leave the palace, so he readily agreed.
However, he didn't think this woman could have anything special!
Lin Yuxin smiled when she saw that he had agreed, and her mood improved!
"We've already agreed beforehand that we just want to see what's going on, that's all, so don't overthink it!"
Lin Yuxin planned to give them a heads-up beforehand, lest they be so scared they wet their pants!
"Hehe, how could that be! Sauna Country and Xia Country are friendly allies!"
The envoy from Sauna Kingdom said with a smirk, though he himself didn't believe it.
They look down on everyone, but they lack the strength to resist. So they resort to underhanded tactics, and these major powers won't fight them over such trivial matters.
Over time, this emboldened them, and every time they traded grain with other countries, they would use the worst livestock as a substitute, revealing their many ulterior motives.
At the hunting grounds, Lin Yuxin stood on the edge of the enclosure. The envoy from the Sauna Kingdom, seeing that the place was empty and the princess was not making any moves, gradually became impatient!
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want us to do here? Didn't you say you wanted to show us your Xia Kingdom's treasures? What kind of treasures does your Xia Kingdom have? They're not fake, are they?"
The envoy from the Sauna Kingdom directly mocked them.
Meanwhile, the Emperor and his ministers were all standing on the outer edge of the hunting grounds, quite far away, and they didn't hear the words of the Sauna Kingdom mocking Lin Yuxin at all.
However, this was at Lin Yuxin's instruction to the Emperor, and she also instructed the Emperor's men to protect those officials.
Seeing Lin Yuxin's serious and cautious demeanor, the Emperor probably guessed what she was up to! Therefore, he was extremely excited.
Because he had never actually seen Lin Yuxin's treasure before. He had tried to talk to Li Xiaochen about it before, but it was no use. This was the first time he had seen it, so how could he not be excited?
Lin Yuxin ignored the envoy's provocation. Only after Xueying and the Emperor's men gestured to her did Lin Yuxin look at the envoy from the Sauna Kingdom and smile:
"Envoy, please don't be in a hurry! This treasure needs to be prepared in advance, and preparation takes time. But now that the treasure is ready, I'd like to ask if the envoys are ready as well?"
"What else do we need to prepare? Show it to us quickly! We'd love to see the treasures of your Xia Kingdom!"
The envoy was completely confused by Lin Yuxin's words. What kind of treasure would require him to go to this desolate hunting ground? And he needed to prepare for it? This was ridiculous!
"That's good, I'll begin!"
Lin Yuxin smiled and clapped her hands three times in the air.
"Slap, slap, slap!"
She then quickly covered her ears and backed away until she reached what she considered a safe distance before stopping.
The three envoys were puzzled by Lin Yuxin's actions. What puzzled them most was that the officials of Xia Kingdom, including the emperor, were far away and were protected by soldiers.
They immediately realized something was wrong and tried to back away, but it was too late.
Three loud bangs rang out, followed by a tremendous earthquake!
The officials outside the hunting grounds were so shocked by the commotion that they could hardly stand.
Immediately, everyone panicked and shouted:
"Is it an earth dragon? Run! There's an earth dragon!!"
This was the only explanation they could think of; otherwise, how could there have been such a commotion? It had actually shaken the entire mountain.
The ministers tried to run but were surrounded by soldiers and unable to move. Even the emperor was so frightened by the commotion that his heart pounded and he slumped onto his dragon throne.
"Look!"
At that moment, one of the ministers saw the spot where the loud noise had just occurred and his eyes widened in surprise!
"What's going on? What exactly happened?"
One after another, they stared in disbelief at the huge crater and the destroyed trees.
Even the envoys from the Sauna Kingdom were stunned by the explosion. They were so frightened that they fell to the ground, trembling all over. They had been so close to the loud bang that they thought they were going to die!
In that instant, they also realized the insignificance of humankind; if it truly was an earth dragon, then they would all die here today!
The intense pounding in their hearts made them feel alive. When they came to their senses, they saw the huge crater. The hunting ground used to be a small hill, but now half of the hill had been destroyed, leaving behind a huge crater.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the scene was eerily quiet.
After the noise subsided, Lin Yuxin, supporting her protruding belly, walked over and, looking at the three trembling envoys, asked with a smile:
"Are the envoys satisfied with our country's treasures?"
"What...what was that just now? Why was it so powerful?"
The envoys' legs were too weak to get up, so they could only sit helplessly on the ground. They looked at Lin Yuxin and asked in a trembling voice.
They were both curious and frightened by what they had just heard!
"I can't tell you that, but I can tell you that this is a new weapon of our Xia Kingdom. I'm afraid I can't reveal anything else!"
Lin Yuxin didn't say much, as long as this thing is intimidating and can scare the sauna country into stopping its antics.
At this moment, the envoy from the Sauna Kingdom felt a sudden, inexplicable fear of the Xia Kingdom! Was the Xia Kingdom's current strength truly so terrifying? If this weapon were used on the battlefield, would they still have a chance of victory?
They won't even leave them their bodies, will they?
At the same time, they also knew that the war initiated by the State of Qi would probably not last long.
"Thank you for the demonstration just now, Your Highness. It is truly an honor for us officials to see such a powerful weapon. I have no regrets in this life."
Once the envoys understood, they hurriedly stood up, ignoring their weak legs, and bowed to Lin Yuxin, thanking her respectfully.
This also elevated Lin Yuxin's status to the same level as Xia Guo. This woman is terrifying! Who displays their treasures by directly showing off weapons? If this goes wrong, the three of them will be dead!
"Of course, of course!"
Lin Yuxin waved her hand dismissively, not taking it seriously at all. She said, "If you come to cause trouble again, I'll use the same trick again. I'll scare you to death!"
The Emperor and his entourage also came over one after another. The Emperor smiled and said:
"Hahaha! Yuxin, your weapon is truly amazing! Excellent! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful weapon!"
This was the first time the Emperor had praised Lin Yuxin in front of so many people.
This also serves as a declaration to the world of Lin Yuxin's status.
The ministers present were all shrewd and astute. The Emperor's meaning was quite clear: Lin Yuxin was a meritorious official of their Xia Kingdom and also the Emperor's confidante.
