The Yan state's rulers and ministers never expected Jiang Ming to pull such a stunt!
"Your Majesty! This boy is arrogant and disrespectful to us! I beg Your Majesty to execute him immediately!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, our Yan state is a legitimate and righteous vassal state. How can we be insulted like this by barbarians?"
"Your Majesty, kill him!"
"Kill him!"
......
In the Yan Kingdom's court, shouts of battle filled the air. King Ji Xi of Yan looked at Jiang Ming with a bewildered, horrified, and fearful expression.
Jiang Ming ignored the group and turned to walk towards the oil fryer!
"Stop him!" Ji Xi shouted, and immediately a group of soldiers stepped forward to block Jiang Ming.
At this moment, Princess Ji Shishi, who had been silent all along, loudly addressed Ji Xi: "Brother! In the current situation, the best course of action is to cooperate with the Xianbei and seek common interests! What are the true intentions of those who are instigating the killing of Mr. Jiang? Can't you see it?"
Hearing this, Ji Xi agreed wholeheartedly and immediately waved his hand loudly, saying, "Mr. Jiang, please don't be impulsive. Let's talk this out... These officials are ignorant, please don't stoop to their level! Mr. Jiang, let's go to the back hall, I'll speak with you alone there!"
"No need!"
Jiang Ming waved his hand: "I've made myself very clear! Either they'll be boiled in oil, and you, Prince Yan, will at least show some sincerity in cooperating with the Xianbei! Or I'll be boiled in oil, and the Xianbei Khan will lead his army to Jicheng to talk to you!"
"Oh dear!"
Ji Xi clicked her tongue in worry: "Mr. Jiang, why bother? Nobody's perfect. They're all incompetent fools. I'll just punish them. Mr. Jiang, please come back quickly and don't be angry, okay?"
His tone of voice was somewhat similar to that of Ji Bochang when he was 'acting silly,' no wonder they were brothers.
"snort......"
Jiang Ming snorted coldly: "I have two important matters to attend to in Ji City this time. The first is to further consolidate the alliance between Yan and Xianbei and assist Yan in defeating Qi and Zhongshan!"
"Great! That's wonderful!" Ji Xi was overjoyed and clapped her hands repeatedly.
"The second thing..."
Jiang Ming paused for a moment and continued, "It means we are going to marry Princess Ji Shishi, which is equivalent to a marriage alliance between the two countries, ensuring that they will never fight each other again!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xi's expression instantly changed...
"this......?"
"Brother Wang!"
Ji Shishi said loudly, "For the peace between our two countries and for the hegemony of the Great Yan, I am willing to marry Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang has also promised to help my brother achieve his hegemony!"
Ji Shishi's statement left Ji Xi even more bewildered!
It's not that marriage alliances are unacceptable.
The key question is, is Jiang Ming's identity still a mystery?
In his letter, Jin Feng said that he was a talented person who was now being overlooked and was only serving as the head of Chenjia Village in Dukang County.
Ji Bochang also said that he was a god!
Then he confessed that he was a Xianbei spy.
Now... my younger sister says she wants to marry him, and I feel completely confused!
Who exactly is he?
Even if my sister were to marry, she should marry someone of the king's rank!
Back then, the Crown Prince of Chu wanted to marry his sister, but she refused. Why did she agree so readily today? It's like she's become a completely different person...
Not only was Ji Xi dumbfounded, but the entire court of Yan was also incredulous, sighing and whispering among themselves.
"Just who is this brat?"
"What's wrong with the Princess today? Why is she willing to marry him?"
"This kid, could he be a monster...?"
......
"Prince Yan, what do you mean? You're unwilling?" Jiang Ming sneered.
"No, no, no!"
Ji Xi quickly smiled apologetically, "As long as my sister is willing, I don't object, but... I still don't know where Mr. Jiang's home is, or who his ancestors were?"
"hehe......"
Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "I'm afraid if I tell you, Prince Yan, you can't bear the burden! Let me tell you in private."
"How dare you!"
The old man who had previously led the clamor to kill Jiang Ming said angrily, "You brat! You are incredibly arrogant! You say my Prince of Yan can't handle this? Who do you think you are? My Yan Kingdom is related to the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty. Is your background more noble and illustrious than the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty? My Yan Kingdom... follows the righteous path and acts with integrity and uprightness. If your background is not something to be ashamed of, why don't you dare to state it here in the main hall?"
Looking at the old man's impressive attire and age, Jiang Ming had already guessed who he was.
It must have been Ji Shishi who told her... the Queen Consort of Yan, the Prime Minister Shi Qiu.
"Your Excellency must be Prime Minister Shi Qiu?"
"It is indeed I!"
Shi Qiu glanced at Jiang Ming with a disdainful look.
"snort......"
Jiang Ming sneered and said to Prince Yan, Ji Xi, "Your Majesty! I have finished speaking. You can choose to listen to me: either the two countries become friendly and share the spoils, or the Xianbei Khan comes to Ji City to negotiate with you. If you choose the former... then boil all the ministers, including the Chancellor Shi Qiu, who just tried to kill me!"
"How dare you!"
"Your Majesty, he is too arrogant! He thinks that there is no one capable in our Yan Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty! My Yan Kingdom is a dignified and legitimate descendant of the Great Yan Dynasty. When have we ever suffered such humiliation?"
"Your Majesty! So what if they have divine weapons? General Yueyi can still annihilate the barbarians!"
