Xuanyuan He looked at the other people who had no intention of speaking, glanced outside, and lowered his voice: "Do you really want to stay?"

An Xin smiled faintly and glanced at him: "You can choose not to stay and try!!"

Bai Yuheng and Su Yanqiu looked at each other, and their eyes darkened at the same time. How could they not understand the meaning of An Xin's words.

If they did not choose to stay and assist the new emperor Si Han, I'm afraid the entire delegation would not be able to leave here alive.

Li Qianhui was puzzled and asked, "Don't tell me that the officials in Beiming have any objections if they keep us here?"

The others also looked at An Xin.

If these elite talents from various countries stay, the new emperor Si Han will definitely not trust them wholeheartedly and entrust them with important tasks for a while.

Since we have lured them here, we will certainly not keep them here without using them.

These people all have high status in their own country's court. If Si Han does not give them more wealth and position, it will be difficult for them to serve him willingly.

If this is the case, they will have a seat in the Beiming court, which will inevitably squeeze the promotion space for Beiming's own officials.

“…”

How can Si Han balance these complicated relationships? ! An Xin met several pairs of inquiring eyes, held his chin, and said faintly: "What's so difficult about this? We are now the most powerful officials, but we don't have a title.

If he can confer upon us the title of prince, duke, or prince, we will have a higher status than we have now, and we can pass the throne to our descendants and continue to enjoy the glory."

Xuanyuan He pointed at himself, then looked at Bai Yuheng, and said arrogantly: "He and I are one regent and one prince. Can the Northern Ming Emperor give us a higher status than we have now?!"

The others nodded, agreeing very much with what Xuanyuan He said.

An Xin: "Do you think there is any comparison between a prince of a small country and a vassal king of a future unified great country?"

Now no one spoke.

Bai Yuheng and Xuanyuan He were also silent. Both of their countries were not big, and could even be said to be very small.

Indeed, their positions in their own countries can be said to be high and powerful, but after they came out, their status was actually not as respected as An Xin, a minister of a great country, by other countries.

Just like this mission to Beiming, An Xin and powerful officials from several other countries were arranged ahead of them, and they were given priority for use when something was given to them.

What's more, An Xin's words implied that Si Han kept them here more for his future ambitions.

The carriage fell silent.

After returning to the envoy, An Xin and his companions heard a burst of noise coming from the courtyard of the embassy as soon as they got off the car.

Jiang Xuan, Leng Xiang and Bai Jiangzhou were standing on the steps of the eaves in front of the courtyard gate. When they saw An Xin coming back, they went to greet him.

Jiang Zhou: "Why did you take so long to enter the palace?"

Seeing the worry in their eyes, An Xin nodded and said, "Let's go in and talk."

"Lord An!"

An Xin turned around and looked at Xuanyuan He who called her, and frowned. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

But seeing a flash of panic in the other person's eyes, An Xin still reminded him for the sake of their acquaintance: "Sometimes giving you a choice does not mean you have the choice."

If this is still not clear, life and death are determined by a person.

After An Xin finished speaking, he ignored everyone else and walked towards the yard where he lived.

Jiang Xuan and Leng Xiangbai looked at the eunuchs following An Xin, pursed their lips, and followed them in without saying anything.

An Xin was obviously afraid that the night would be long and that someone might change his mind.

After coming in, the first thing he did was to call General Chen and General Gao.

As An Xin expected, while she was waiting for someone, a young eunuch hurried in from outside, came up to Eunuch De behind her, and the two of them whispered to each other.

An Xin had good hearing and only heard words like "students stayed behind".

General Chen and General Gao were hurriedly called over.

An Xin saw Eunuch De come forward and announce Si Han's oral order.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and kind, and has kindly allowed you to stay here for a long time to experience the humanistic enthusiasm of our Beiming.

Lord An of your Daqian was also moved and impressed by the benevolence, generosity, bravery and talent of our emperor, and volunteered to stay in our Beiming to serve your majesty.

His Majesty felt sorry for Lady An being alone in the North Sea, so he allowed the students who came with her to stay with her."

A cold light flashed in An Xin's eyes.

How could she not know that Si Han was preventing her from finding an opportunity to slip away after sending the Daqian delegation away?

She left behind Leng Xiangbai, Jiang Zhou and Chi Lan, her students, just to prevent her from escaping.

Eunuch De ignored An Xin's ugly expression and added, "Oh, and the two commanders of Daqian's guards were supposed to stay.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

However, His Majesty was kind and finally allowed General Chen to lead the team to Daqian, and General Gao stayed behind to protect your Lord An."

An Xin's eyes darkened slightly and he snorted coldly.

General Gao Gaofeng is Gao Tai's father.

Gao Tai is now the garrison general of northern Ji. His status on the border of northern Ji is second only to the commander-in-chief Yuchi Yi. There is nothing that An Xin does not understand about Si Han's move.

However, faced with the life and death of hundreds of guards, An Xin could only accept it temporarily.

Except for the people in the yard who had figured out the twists and turns, everyone else looked at An Xin in disbelief when they heard that she volunteered to stay in Beiming to work for Si Han.

"Sir, is what he said true? Are you really willing to stay in Beiming and betray Daqian?"

General Gao, who was a straightforward, rough and reckless man, suddenly had bloodshot eyes and roared with anger and a hint of sadness in his voice.

An Xin did not answer General Gao's question. When Eunuch De looked at him, he raised his eyebrows indifferently, with a faint smile still on his lips.

How could she not understand what Si Han said, that whether the delegation could successfully leave Beiming depended on her performance.

Isn't it just that she wants to make her words final and do something extreme, so that these people will report her actions back to Daqian. Even if she wants to regret it later, I'm afraid that the Daqian court will no longer tolerate a female official who has committed treason.

Si Han thought that this would be enough to contain her.

But Si Han didn't know how much An Xin disliked being an official from the very beginning because it interfered with her comfortable life.

If she had not been afraid that her refusal would affect her students' future, she would not have even looked at the old emperor Sheng An. How could she have been held hostage by him for those false reputations?

However, An Xin would not reveal these at this moment.

An Xin originally wanted to say that he stayed for the high position and generous salary, but when he thought about it, he was a high-ranking official in Daqian, so it didn't seem very smart to say that.

If I really said that, General Chen, General Gao and those elite soldiers who are not stupid would definitely doubt it.

Then, in a fit of excitement, he tried his best to take himself back.

Even if these hundreds of people had three heads and six arms, they would probably be strangled to death by the people arranged by Si Han, leaving no trace.

“I am staying here voluntarily. The Emperor of Beiming not only said that he would confer upon me the title of King, but also that he would give me dozens or even hundreds of handsome young men.

The people of Beiming are open-minded and don't have as many etiquette and rules as those of Daqian. I think this place is great. You guys should go back quickly and don't hinder me from having fun here."
