Chapter 440 Your Majesty, Don't Move
Meanwhile, in the imperial city,
during the day, the guards of Beiling Kingdom who entered the imperial city had a big conflict with the imperial guards of Nanqi.
The friction became more and more serious, and even a fight had already occurred, with serious casualties.
Someone immediately reported the matter to the Emperor of Nanqi and the Beiling Regent Ling Fengxun at the same time.
"Your Majesty, on the streets of the imperial city, the guards of Beiling Kingdom and the imperial guards in the city had a large-scale fight, and casualties have already occurred. Please order to stop it!"
The Emperor of Nanqi frowned slightly, and his face became a little ugly at this moment.
He looked up at Ling Fengxun, who was sitting next to him and talking with him over tea.
"Prince Regent, what's going on?"
Ling Fengxun raised his eyebrows, "This is the territory of the Southern Qi Kingdom. Such a big thing happened, but the emperor didn't ask his own men, but asked me instead?"
The face of the Southern Qi Emperor was livid, "After all, the other party is your people. At the beginning, I opposed the Beiling guards entering the city because I was afraid of such a thing happening. As a result, my ignorant prince let you all in, which led to this chaotic situation!"
Seeing that the Southern Qi Emperor was still aggressive here, An Yunxi said, "Your Majesty might as well listen to the specific reasons before making a decision."
A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the Southern Qi Emperor.
Even if he didn't hear the reason, he knew that it must be a trap set by the Beiling!
The messenger below immediately explained, "Your Majesty, the reason for the initial dispute was that too many people came from Beiling Country, and the post stations in the city could not accommodate so many people. There was also a slight shortage of food, which caused dissatisfaction among the people of Beiling, leading to a quarrel and a scuffle. During the pushing and shoving, a person from Beiling Country accidentally died in the post station."
Ling Fengxun stood up in an instant, "My people are dead?"
The expression of Emperor Nanqi changed in an instant, "Let the guards control the situation first, I will arrange someone to deal with this matter!"
"Yes!"
He turned his head to look at Ling Fengxun, but saw Ling Fengxun staring at him with frosty eyes.
Emperor Nanqi did not expect that his people would kill the other side's people first, and he felt a little unreasonable for a while.
"Prince Regent, there are some misunderstandings here, and your subordinates died in an accident, so you can't blame Nanqi for this."
Ling Fengxun sneered, "Even if that person died in an accident at the beginning, how will the emperor explain to me about the people who died later?"
The face of the Emperor of Nanqi sank, "You can't say that. My people were also injured. This matter was just an accident after all. We must not let this little thing affect the alliance between Nanqi and Beiling!"
Ling Fengxun's expression was already a little angry.
"I originally planned to leave Nanqi today, but if the emperor doesn't give an explanation to my soldiers, then I won't leave!"
The Emperor of Nanqi could see that everything Ling Fengxun did must be intentional.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, what's the point of staying here to play Liaozhai! The
reason why he accompanied Ling Fengxun to chat here today was to see him off, but this accident happened.
Emperor Nanqi calmed down, thought about the next plan, and suddenly a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Then what kind of explanation did the Regent Prince ask me to give you? I will definitely severely punish those who caused the trouble, or compensate your subordinates with their lives?"
Ling Fengxun said calmly, "Not only lives, but for every soldier who died, the emperor must compensate them with a thousand taels of silver!"
"A thousand taels of silver?"
Emperor Nanqi gritted his teeth. Although he had no shortage of silver, he still felt very uncomfortable to give away such a large sum of money for no reason.
But he still smiled and said, "Okay!"
An Yunxi looked at the look on Emperor Nanqi's face, who was eager to get rid of her and Ling Fengxun as soon as possible, and she couldn't help wanting to laugh.
But it was really inconvenient to laugh in this situation.
An Yunze, who was standing beside Emperor Nanqi, focused his attention on An Yunxi from beginning to end, and had no time to care about the life or death of Emperor Nanqi.
Unfortunately, Emperor Nanqi did not know this.
Suddenly, a figure ran in again from outside.
"Oh no, Your Majesty, something big has happened! Those people from Beiling killed the prince of loyalty and bravery, Wei Qian!"
The guard who reported now was panting, his face was pale, and his voice was extremely anxious.
Emperor Nanqi, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly showed a shocked expression.
"How could it be!"
"Prince Wei learned that there was chaos in the city, and took people to suppress it personally, but was pierced through the forehead by an arrow!"
Emperor Nanqi only felt that his eyes were black.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is a top-notch military commander in the court, and the commander-in-chief of tens of thousands of border troops. If his son dies, it will inevitably cause unrest on the border. The Marquis of Loyalty
and Bravery is still guarding the border between the north and Beiling State. Once he hears that his son has been killed, he will be furious if he does not seek justice for him!
Something bad is going to happen!
This thought suddenly occurred to the Emperor of Southern Qi, and he could no longer pretend, looking at Ling Fengxun with cold eyes.
"Prince Regent, this is a bit too much!"
Ling Fengxun's eyes were calm.
"Your Majesty, those people under my command have never even seen what the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery looks like. In such a chaotic situation, it is just an accidental injury, and it will not affect the alliance between the two countries."
Ling Fengyan returned all the words that the Emperor of Nanqi had said before.
The Emperor of Nanqi suddenly slapped the table with an extremely cold voice!
"Prince Regent! You dare to challenge my authority, aren't you afraid that I will not let you leave the Nanqi Palace today?"
Now, he has the number one master of Nanqi as a guard by his side, and he is not afraid that Ling Fengyan will suddenly jump up and chop off his head!
There are hundreds of dark guards protecting the palace. This is the Southern Qi Kingdom, his territory. He doesn't believe that Ling Fengxun can stir up trouble!
Even if his martial arts skills are high, he can't kill hundreds of palace masters by himself. Two fists can't beat four hands. He doesn't believe that Ling Fengxun is not panicking.
As expected, Ling Fengxun showed a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"If the emperor really wants to break up with him, it will be difficult to deal with."
Ling Fengyan's words had just fallen when Emperor Nanqi suddenly felt his neck getting cold.
A tingling sensation came over him, and a little warm liquid slid down the skin of his neck.
The white-haired ghost, An Yunze, was standing behind Emperor Nanqi at this time, holding his shoulder with one hand and wrapping his other arm around his neck.
The dagger in his hand, which was shining with cold light, was pressed tightly against his neck.
A voice as cold as ice came into the ears of Emperor Nanqi.
"Please don't move, Your Majesty!"
