Princess Kangning and Su Mo are chasing each other, but let’s not talk about it for now.
In the capital, in a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere, the Saint Girl of Southern Xinjiang and the King of Southern Xinjiang arrived.
According to the regulations, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Honglu Temple received them and stayed at the Honglu Temple International Hotel.
In order to demonstrate the power of our country, Emperor Cangwu decided to receive them on the day of the grand court meeting.
On the day of the grand court meeting, civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the imperial guards stood on the periphery with shining steel guns.
The entire square was crowded with people, but there was complete silence, with only the steel guns shining brightly in the sunlight.
Emperor Cangwu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Announce."
The eunuchs shouted in succession: "Announce the Saint of Southern Xinjiang and the King of Southern Xinjiang to see you."
The voices spread out one after another, and soon, accompanied by the Minister of Rites, a group of people from the Southern Xinjiang delegation came in.
"Your Highness, Cangwu." The King of Southern Xinjiang and all the envoys bowed and saluted, except for the small woman who led the group, who stood straight.
Ranlou, the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, was in her thirties, tall, and wore a black collarless double-breasted gown, a black and white pleated skirt, and a pair of embroidered shoes with lion-shaped balls on them.
She had a slightly darker complexion, wore black lipstick, had thin eyebrows and cold eyes, and wore a black tasseled headscarf. The headscarf was embellished with sparkling silver beads, which matched the crescent-shaped silver locket hanging on her chest, making her look even more cool and elegant.
The Minister of Rites frowned and asked: "Why did the Saint Lady salute my Emperor?"
Kneeling would be fine, he even bowed, but he actually held his head high with an expression of contempt for everything. How presumptuous.
The king quickly tried to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, the status of our Southern Border Saint is higher than that of the imperial power, so the Saint Lady needs to salute the Emperor."
Song Jinxiu glanced at the tall and proud Saintess of Southern Xinjiang and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is correct. You also said that the Saintess is the Saintess of your Southern Xinjiang, not our Cangwu. Since you have entered our Cangwu territory and our Cangwu Palace, you must pay homage to our Cangwu Majesty."
The ministers said: "Yes, the Saint is from your Southern Border, and she is also ours. When she arrives in Cangwu, she must pay respect to our Majesty."
"The Southern Xinjiang people are indeed uncivilized. They say that a saint girl has no manners at all."
"Yes, let alone the defeated country, even envoys from ordinary countries should be polite when visiting someone's home, okay?"
Ran Luo glanced around coldly. As she moved, the tassels of her headscarf swayed. Suddenly, she discovered with her sharp eyes that the swaying tassels were actually black centipedes as long as pencils.
"Mom, there are bugs in her head."
Someone exclaimed,
Only then did everyone realize that the tassels on the woman's headscarf were actually centipedes, with more than ten of them densely packed together. Each one is as long as a pencil and thicker than a pencil.
The timid ones retreated one after another, and for a while the court was in chaos.
Eunuch Hai and Qi Chenghua consciously took a step forward and stood in front of the emperor.
Song Jinxiu also made a mistake and stood between the Saint Girl of Southern Xinjiang and the Emperor. At the same time, Zhu Beichen also took a step forward and stood beside her, trying to protect her.
"Hahaha, it turns out that the Cangwu court officials are so cowardly,"
Looking at the crowd in chaos and with pale faces, the Southern Xinjiang delegation burst into laughter.
The Saint of Southern Xinjiang curled her lips, raised her head, stretched out a finger and waved it in front of her face. A black centipede actually crawled along her finger to her lips and into her mouth.
Just like this, half in the mouth and half on the face.
"Ugh," someone tried to hold back and actually covered his mouth to vomit.
Everyone held back and moved a little further away from the Saint of Southern Border.
Too scary, could this woman be the ancestor of insects?
This saint girl did it on purpose, is this a show of power?
Saint Ran Luo raised her eyebrows: It's just a show of power. You have so many swords lined up, is it just a show of power for us?
snort! To use your Cangwu words, this is called coming and then leaving is impolite.
This Ma Wei really stunned everyone.
Song Jinxiu looked at the black centipede, took out a piece of A4 paper from her arms (in the space), and handed it to Zhu Beichen beside her, "Hold it for me."
She turned her head and smiled sweetly at the Saint, "Oh, Saint, you are too polite. Knowing that I am looking for black centipedes, you actually gave me so many. You are really generous. I accept them with pleasure, okay?"
Amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, Song Jinxiu stepped forward, stretched out her hand to pick up the centipede from the saint's headscarf.
Everyone was shocked and the emperor's face turned pale.
"Little princess." Qi Chenghua wanted to go over to stop her, but he didn't dare to leave the palace.
Song Jinxiu also turned her head and said, "Master Qi must be panicking. Although this black centipede is extremely poisonous, it is also the best antidote.
In my blood-activating and detoxifying medicine, this black centipede is an indispensable main ingredient. It's so precious, just this one costs one tael of silver. ”
She was like a little girl picking mushrooms. As she spoke, she picked centipedes up happily. "Do you know how to dry centipedes? Just straighten them like this."
As she spoke, she took the centipede and stroked it from beginning to end, then put it on the A4 paper that Zhu Beichen was holding.
Strangely enough, after the black centipede passed by her body, it did not move at all and just lay there straight as if it was dead.
In a few days, she had picked up all the centipedes. Finally, she pulled out the centipede that had half-buried itself in the body of the saint.
The white A4 paper was used to straighten the corpses of the centipedes and arrange them neatly.
"Master Zhu, please help me put it in the sun and dry it out for my medicine."
"Yes," Zhu Beichen lowered his head in shock, and walked out holding the centipede wrapped in A4 paper.
Song Jinxiu did all this smoothly and finished it in the blink of an eye.
The people in Southern Xinjiang still maintained their mocking expressions, as if they were frozen in time.
It took Saint Ranlu a long time to respond. She stared at Song Jinxiu's unharmed hands in amazement.
How is that possible? This black centipede is extremely poisonous. Even though she has been playing with Gu for many years, she dares to raise it only because of the fear of the Gu King.
Princess Cangwu doesn't have any Gu in her body, how could she be afraid of black centipedes?
Song Jinxiu sneered: I am poisoned by a poisonous insect, how can a small poisonous insect hurt me?
Everyone: If Princess Kangle had been there in the first round, we, Cangwu, would have lost. These people from Southern Xinjiang are too despicable.
"Well, since Princess Kang Le has accepted this black centipede, it's okay to give it to you."
The Saintess of Southern Xinjiang smiled. She originally used this thing to scare people. Although it did not scare Princess Kangle, the overall effect of the response of the court officials just now was still good.
As for this little girl, hehe, when she touched her centipede, a poisonous insect was already placed on her body by her.
Therefore, this girl will be obedient sooner or later, so there is no need to worry.
The Southern Border Saint's voice was sweet and melodious, but no matter how melodious it was, people who had seen her coexist with poisonous insects would still feel a lingering fear.
"Now, let's talk about the matter.
We in Nanjiang took the initiative to seek peace, not because we were defeated, but because our King of Nanjiang was kind and could not bear to see the people of the two countries suffer from the war. Therefore, if you want to stop the war, Your Majesty Cangwu should return the cities in Nanjiang that were occupied by the Dingguo Army. ”
Everyone: Who is this person who is defeated and asks for peace? It's you who lost, okay?
General Wei Qizhi of Dingguo General's Mansion stepped forward and said, "Saint Maiden Palace, if you want to stop the war, our Dingguo Army doesn't mind taking the entire southern Xinjiang."
The Saint of Southern Xinjiang's face darkened, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
