Lu Shiwang gave Qin Susu a disapproving look, and Qin Susu simply stared back at him.
When her temper flares up, she'll talk back to anyone, no matter who it is... uh, that seems like she'll die a little too soon.
Qiu Yan stood in front of Qin Susu, blocking Lu Shiwang's view for her.
“Lord Lu, you have misunderstood. The Central Plains armies are all outside the borders. It’s not that they don’t care about you; they are just busy with their own affairs. You are overthinking it.”
King Lu snorted coldly, "These women from the Central Plains are so unruly."
Are you busy with your own things? Maybe you're busy dealing with him.
He glared at Ling Ba: "Tell me, were you with those Central Plains soldiers?"
Ling Ba: "No, we didn't come together."
Qiu Yan nodded in agreement. Ling Ba's answer was correct; they hadn't come together, but in separate groups.
King Lu has already investigated this matter. Therefore, Qiu Yan knows that no matter how Ling Ba answers, it will only enrage King Lu.
"Do you know what those Central Plains soldiers are doing outside the borders of my Lu Shi?" King Lu asked, his gaze turning to Ling Ba once more.
Ling Ba said solemnly, "They are here to find medicine on behalf of someone."
Isn't that what Xiaoyan says to outsiders?
Qin Susu chuckled. "Ling Ba, can we come up with another excuse?"
Qiu Yan noticed that Lu Shiwang's complexion was getting worse and worse, and thought to herself, "This is the prelude to a storm."
Sure enough, King Lu slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Looking for medicine? Hmph, what medicine are you looking for? Young man, even if you want to deceive me, you should think of a better excuse."
Don't think I don't know, they came last year.
I initially thought they were just remnants of the Western Qin army, but it turns out they were secretly forging weapons, preparing to attack my State of Lu!
King Lu was panting heavily, his face pale, clearly terrified.
After all, when faced with a powerful enemy, he could only humble himself and act subserviently.
What I fear is that the Central Plains Emperor will not even give him a chance to humble himself before wiping out their small Lu Shi Kingdom in one fell swoop.
They belonged to two different places, one in the east and one in the west, but because the two places were far apart, they originally had no contact with each other.
Who knew that these soldiers from the Central Plains would visit secretly?
To say they had no ulterior motives? Well, King Lu didn't believe it.
He only wanted to protect himself in the chaos of the world.
Lu Shiwang's words were fierce and clearly aggressive, but Qiu Yan couldn't help but laugh after hearing them.
King Lu Shi spoke the Central Plains language quite well.
He spoke a whole string of words in his accented language in one breath.
Qiu Yan: "You witnessed the forging of weapons with your own eyes?"
They were mining saltpeter, and forging weapons there.
King Lu: "My subordinates witnessed it with their own eyes; this is a fact!"
His face grew increasingly pale.
Mayi's face flushed red and then turned pale.
She knew better than anyone that her father had a bad temper.
She just didn't expect that her father would get so angry in front of the envoys from the Central Plains.
"Father, the Central Plains are currently in chaos, and they have neither the time nor the energy to attack us."
She knew her father was being overly sensitive.
Otherwise, how could he not understand such a simple principle?
Qin Susu nodded, indicating that she agreed with what Ma Yi said:
“Princess Mayi is right. That’s all your imagination. Your Lu Shi Kingdom is too small for our Emperor to even look at.”
If our Emperor wanted to attack you small kingdoms in the Western Regions, he would send an army of thousands..."
"Susu, watch your words!" Qin Susu was about to speak again when Qiu Yan stopped her.
