Chapter 437 Daring to covet her man, one move to kill.
Not long after the banquet began, an envoy from the Kingdom of Hada jumped out and declared that he wanted to challenge Lin Luoxi.
"Heh, these days, how dare a man say he wants to challenge a woman? He's just showing off his abilities, isn't he!" If they weren't in the imperial court, Lin Luoxi could have said even more hurtful things.
"Princess Changping, you misunderstand. It's not that I want to challenge you, but rather that our princess of Hada Kingdom has long admired you and wishes to learn from you..."
He claimed he was seeking advice, but looking down at people with such arrogance, you could see every single nose hair in his nostrils. It was hardly the act of seeking advice.
Lin Luoxi did not directly answer the question from the envoy of the Hada Kingdom, but instead looked at Xiao Jingchen.
Xiao Jingchen was in a good mood, but when the envoy from the Kingdom of Hada jumped out to cause trouble, he looked at the envoy with a dark and gloomy expression.
Damn it, after his coronation ceremony, he will definitely send troops to conquer the Kingdom of Hada and make that small place a vassal state of the Crimson Flame Dynasty.
"What, does your country dare not?" Just as Xiao Jingchen was thinking about how to humiliate the Hada Kingdom, an extremely arrogant and loud woman's voice rang out in the hall.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pretty woman standing up behind the envoy from the Hata Kingdom. Her gaze was fixed on Xie Hanchuan.
"Hey, Xie Hanchuan, could it be that he's taken a liking to you?" Lin Wenqian and the others sitting next to Xie Hanchuan also noticed Nangong Yan's gaze and looked at Xie Hanchuan with schadenfreude.
"I'm handsome and charming, so it's normal for someone to be interested in me. But I only have your sister in my heart. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can catch my eye."
Xie Hanchuan listened to Lin Wenqian's words, tilted his head and chatted with Lin Wenqian, not giving Nangong Yan a single extra glance.
"You are so charming, you attract unwanted attention wherever you go."
Lin Luoxi was already exhausted from a long day, and she had originally planned to enjoy a proper feast tonight.
However, her mood was ruined, and Lin Luoxi angrily reached out and pinched Xie Han's waist.
"Hiss~"
"Don't pinch me, honey. This just proves you have good taste." Xie Hanchuan gasped as Lin Luoxi pinched the soft flesh around his waist, and immediately whispered in her ear.
But in Nangong Yan's eyes, Xie Hanchuan was just flirting with Lin Luoxi, and her eyes were burning with jealousy.
"Is your country too afraid to do this, or is your female general just a figurehead who only knows how to spend money to show off her legs and steal other people's military achievements?"
Seeing that no one in the court, including Xiao Jingchen and Lin Luoxi, responded to her words, Nangong Yan resorted to provocation.
"Princess Changping, why don't you go and have a go at him?" Xiao Jingchen gave Nangong Yan a disdainful look when he saw her being so arrogant at his banquet, and then looked at Lin Luoxi.
"Fine, if the adults won't teach this brat, I will..." Anyone who dares to covet her man, she'll teach them a lesson.
These days, people who are mistresses, who become mistresses, are quite arrogant, even if they've never seen a man in their lives.
Lin Luoxi stood up, glanced around the hall, walked to the center of the banquet, and looked at Nangong Yan.
The hall was large enough for her to teach that woman who coveted her man a lesson.
When Nangong Yan saw Lin Luoxi come out, she couldn't wait to come out as well, carrying her twin crescent blades.
"Take your weapon, so that your countrymen won't say I'm abusing my power..." Nan Gongyan saw Lin Luoxi standing out unarmed and told her to take out her weapon.
"No need. Today is the Empress's joyous occasion; it's inappropriate to shed blood." Lin Luoxi stood there with her arms crossed, not reaching for her weapon.
Seeing that Lin Luoxi was not armed, Nangong Yan did not want to attack her with a weapon, so she had the envoy behind her hold her precious sword for her.
"Your Majesty, if you say so, then our family will begin. We must be a civilized and polite nation, so that others won't say we're bullying people..." Lin Luoxi looked at Xiao Jingchen, who was sitting on the high seat.
"Okay!" Xiao Jingchen nodded with a smile when he heard Lin Luoxi's roundabout way of cursing.
"start!"
In order to shine in front of the person she likes, Nangong Yan takes the initiative.
Lin Luoxi glanced at the move, which seemed extremely slow to her, and stood still until Nangong Yan attacked. Then, she spun around, raised her foot, and kicked Nangong Yan in the abdomen.
"Ah!" Nangong Yan was sent flying backward, crashing into the envoy from the Kingdom of Hada.
"Wow!" Everyone present exclaimed in surprise when they saw Lin Luoxi defeat her opponent in one move.
"Someone, summon the imperial physician..." Xiao Jingchen glanced at Lin Luoxi, then at Nangong Yan, who had already fainted, his eyes full of smiles.
Lin Luoxi's move stunned the foreign envoys who were eager to try their luck.
They didn't want to end up like Nangong Yan, who intended to intimidate the other party but ended up losing face and dignity.
Seeing how easily Nangong Yan was defeated, Lin Luoxi shrugged and returned to her seat.
"Crimson Flame Emperor, you have gone too far! You agreed to stop short of a fight, but you've severely injured our princess. This is hardly the behavior of friendly nations; it's clearly..."
"It's obvious you can't handle this game. Why didn't we just stop short of a fight? I haven't even made a move yet, and your princess is already like this. You still have the nerve to say that..."
"You're the ones who want to challenge us, and you're the ones who can't afford to play along. What, do you think this world belongs to your Hada Kingdom...?"
Lin Luoxi didn't give the other party a chance to whine and complain. Seeing such a shameless person, she directly confronted him.
"You, you, your Crimson Flame Dynasty, just wait..." The Hada Kingdom, holding Nangong Yan, tried to leave.
"Men, take them down!" Lin Luoxi couldn't stand such irresponsible people and ordered them to be taken down immediately.
"Emperor of the Crimson Flame Kingdom, what do you mean by this?" The envoy from the Hada Kingdom looked at Xiao Jingchen with a questioning expression as he saw the Imperial Guards blocking his way.
"It's nothing. We were threatened, so naturally we can't let the threatening elements leave," Lin Luoxi answered directly for Xiao Jingchen.
"Princess Changping, don't push your luck. Are you trying to start a war against our Hada Kingdom?" The Hada Kingdom wanted to use this statement to intimidate Lin Luoxi.
Xiao Jingchen also looked at Lin Luoxi, wanting to see how she would answer.
Although he didn't like being emperor, who wouldn't want more territory?
“That’s not impossible,” Lin Luoxi replied with a smile.
Hearing Lin Luoxi's passionate words, the Imperial Guards were even more unwilling to release her, and directly took all the people from the Hada Kingdom's envoy city away.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to send troops to the Kingdom of Hada..." All the ministers present rushed to the center of the hall and knelt down before Xiao Jingcheng.
