Chapter 216 Will the King be Afraid?

Bailitao was interrupted and choked for a moment, then regained his composure and said, "You imprisoned my prince and injured my princess. As long as your Beiling Kingdom compensates me for three border cities in Nanqi, we can write it off!"

Ling Fengxun tapped the table lightly with his hand. Hearing Bailitao's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "What if the King doesn't compensate?"

Bailitao looked at Ling Fengxun a few more times.

He naturally understood the current situation of Beiling Kingdom and knew that Ling Fengxun was the regent king and the one who had the final say.

But

He turned his head deliberately to look at Ling Changyue, and then saluted him very respectfully, "You are the emperor. In the negotiations between the two countries, no minister should have the right to interrupt!"

The civil and military officials who were sitting down did not expect that this prince who came to Beiling Kingdom would be so brave!

As soon as he opened his mouth, he offended the regent king.

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and pretended that they heard nothing.

Ling Fengxun couldn't help but chuckle, and then turned his head to look at Ling Changyue who was sitting not far away.

He sneered: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Ling Changyue only felt cold all over, as if he was stared at by a poisonous snake.

He tightened the corners of his lips, clenched his fingers tightly, and his eyes were deep.

But after taking a deep breath, he still said, "What the Regent Prince said is what I mean."

Bailitao was slightly startled.

Then he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

He really didn't expect that this little emperor was so useless. He sat on the throne, but couldn't even control a minister.

He lowered his eyes, and his tone was a little weird.

"It turns out that in the Beiling Kingdom, it is not the emperor who has the final say, but a prince who has the final say. It is really unheard of and unseen."

His words were deliberately provocative, stirring up the resentment and anger in Ling Changyue's heart.

And what he did did have some effect.

Ling Changyue clenched his fists tighter and tighter, and his eyes were slightly red.

Baili Tao continued to add fuel to the fire: "It is said that the emperor of your country is wise and powerful, why is he being manipulated now? Is he just in name only?"

"Shut up!"

Ling Changyue's eyes were filled with anger, but he tried hard to hold it back.

An Guohou suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "You barbarian envoys do not know the rules of etiquette and laws of our dynasty, and you do not understand the emperor's strategy. You are talking nonsense here and trying to provoke others. It is really wishful thinking!"

His words were said at the right time, which helped Ling Changyue out of trouble.

Bailitao raised the corner of his mouth but didn't care, "So that's how it is. It's my fault that I was blind and didn't see through the emperor's mind. In that case, I will discuss it directly with His Royal Highness Prince Xie."

After he sowed discord, he turned around and saluted Ling Feng Xie respectfully.

"My Lord, I just said that everything is the fault of your Beiling Kingdom. If you do not agree to our conditions today, the Southern Qi Kingdom will certainly send troops to attack Beiling in the future. You don't want to destroy the peace between our two countries for so many years.

If the world knows that this war is caused by you, they will definitely say that you deliberately provoked the two countries to fight. Regardless of victory or defeat, Your Majesty is the sinner in this war!"

Bailitao sneered, his words were full of threats, and his eyes were dark.

Xu Meir had been helped to sit in his original chair, and he was still crying on the table.

The scene became a little heavy because of Bailitao's words, and the expressions of all the officials changed a little.

They didn't want to fight.

After all, if a real fight breaks out, not only will the national treasury be depleted, but countless casualties will also occur, which will accelerate the destruction of the already declining Beiling Kingdom.

Looking at the expressions of the ministers, Bailitao felt more confident.

These officials are more afraid of death than the other. If they were allowed to go to the battlefield, I'm afraid they would even pee their pants.

Ling Fengxun slowly raised his eyebrows: "Are you done talking?"

Bailitao didn't expect Ling Fengxun to be so calm after all this.

"Of course I'm done. I wonder if Your Majesty would consider it."

Ling Fengxun spoke after hearing the first half of his sentence: "Then compensate me with ten cities in Beiling."

Bailitao thought he had heard it wrong.

The smile on his face froze for a moment.

"I wonder what the prince means by that?"

Ling Fengyan stood up slowly.

The ink-colored python robe made him look extremely noble. When the aura around him was released, the murderous aura that he had acquired after years of training on the battlefield was terrifying.

After all, Bailitao was just a prince who was pampered in Guoguang City of Southern Qi. He felt a chill down his spine. He

couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

At that moment, he even felt that the man in front of him might directly order himself and others to be killed.

Ling Fengyan said, "Do you think that this king is afraid of fighting?"

Now that all the imperial power in Beiling is in his hands, he can mobilize the resources and troops in the court at will.

If he leads the troops himself, he will definitely be able to do it more easily than before.

Even though the Beiling Kingdom is a little weaker in terms of the number of troops, as long as he is at the border, no one can set foot into the Beiling territory!

This is not because he is arrogant, but because of his experience at the border for so many years.

His aura immediately made Bailitao feel a little scared, because there was no falsehood in his words.

Everyone has heard of Ling Fengxun's reputation on the border battlefield, and his ability to lead troops to fight is daunting.

However, Bailitao recalled the current domestic situation in Beiling, and his heart was a little relieved.

"My lord is not afraid of fighting, but you can't bear this crime!"

Ling Fengxun raised his eyebrows: "What is my crime?"

Bailitao was in high spirits and spoke very coherently.

"You clearly knew the identity of Princess Zhaoyue, but you still sent people to punish her like that. You were deliberately provoking my Southern Qi Kingdom. How can that not be a crime?"

Ling Fengxun opened his lips coldly: "She deserves to be beaten for talking nonsense and framing others and slandering my relatives."

"You"

Bailitao found that the man in front of him was a tough nut to crack. He

was still so stubborn even now.

"Then you Beiling people imprisoned my Prince of Nanqi"

"Nonsense!"

An Yunhe, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

He stared at Bailitao with cold eyes, not considering him as his own at all.

"I was rescued by the An family of Beiling. The An family and Beiling country saved my life. Those who want to kill me are always people from Nanqi!"

Bailitao was instantly silent.

He had come here deliberately to find fault with these two reasons.

Now, Nanqi is much stronger than Beiling, and Beiling is about to change its emperor. If he can find Beiling's weakness, he can severely rip Beiling off, force Beiling to give Nanqi many benefits, further weaken Beiling, and finally send a large

army north to attack Beiling!

This is what the Emperor of Nanqi told him to do!
