Chapter 125 Dismounting
People tend to despair when they are closest to hope.
Huangfu Nanfeng was just one step away from returning to the State of Chu.
Even if he wasn't afraid of death, he would still be unwilling to accept it.
Unwilling to die on the night before they were about to escape.
Besides, how could someone who would slaughter an entire village just to find her risk their life for a spy?
So only tonight will Qin Jinzhi get what she wants.
Huangfu Nanfeng wrote a long and detailed page and handed it to Qin Jinzhi.
Qin Jinzhi took the list and glanced at it. "The number of people is wrong."
Huangfu Nanfeng was taken aback, but calmly wrote another page, this time with a significantly larger number of people.
Qin Jinzhi glanced at the table and spoke again, "The number of people is incorrect."
Huangfu Nanfeng frowned, a rare occurrence, and said, "Everything I know is in this."
Qin Jinzhi just stared at him lazily.
Huangfu Nanfeng remained silent for a moment before finally writing down a name.
Qin Jinzhi took it and raised an eyebrow. "There really is one."
Huangfu Nanfeng's mask could no longer hold up. "You tricked me!"
Qin Jinzhi shrugged and looked at him defiantly, "So what?"
Even the most astute person will panic when faced with life and death.
If she really knew the number, would she need to ask him here?
She turned to leave, and Huangfu Nanfeng shouted, "The antidote!"
"It's just a regular laxative pill; the pain will subside after about an hour."
Huangfu Nanfeng laughed angrily, "Qin Jinzhi, I will definitely make you my woman."
Qin Jinzhi stopped and turned to look at him. "Huangfu Nanfeng, I advise you not to waste your energy on me. You deserve better."
Huangfu Nanfeng was taken aback, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Qin Jinzhi raise an eyebrow.
"But it's not the best kind like me. Go to sleep early, you can have anything in your dreams."
Qin Jinzhi left laughing, and Huangfu Nanfeng felt a pang of anger for the first time.
He actually had a feeling that Qin Jinzhi wouldn't really let him die.
But he dared not gamble; Qin Jinzhi was a madwoman just like him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a prisoner.
However, he will soon be able to return to the State of Chu.
Once he reclaims everything that belongs to him, he will want Qin Jinzhi and the State of Jin.
The very next day, the newly established Thousand Birds Guard did something that shocked the imperial court.
The Thousand Birds Guards wiped out the Chu spy who had been lying in wait in Jin for a long time.
All the Thousand Bird Guards mobilized.
The arrests happened just as the delegation entered the city.
The fourteenth prince of Chu, Huangfu Nanying, rode at the very front on horseback.
The fact that the envoy rode into the city on horseback when the mission entered the capital was a sign of contempt for the enemy city.
It implies that the iron cavalry will eventually trample the capital.
The people all wore angry expressions and were discussing the matter animatedly.
The Chu envoys were all arrogant and haughty.
Just as the group entered the city.
Qin Jinzhi rode her liuyun horse slowly and leisurely, blocking the path of the delegation.
The Chu envoy shouted, "Who goes there and dares to obstruct the delegation from entering the city!"
Upon hearing that it was Huangfu Nanying who had come, Qin Jinzhi guessed that he would definitely try to intimidate her.
She slowly raised her riding whip, pointed it at Huangfu Nanying, and said, "Dismount."
Huangfu Nanying felt instantly that the person in front of her was very familiar.
But this woman was stunningly beautiful; he would never forget her if he had ever seen her.
He said with a mocking expression, "The Great Jin is really pathetic, actually sending a woman to block the way. But I am not one to show mercy to women. Get out of my way right now, or I will whip your little face to pieces."
Instead of retreating, Qin Jinzhi advanced, saying, "I said, dismount."
Huangfu Nanying said defiantly, "What can you do to me if I don't dismount?"
Qin Jinzhi also smiled, and she drew the sword from her waist and pierced the heart of the horse beneath Huangfu Nanying.
The horse neighed and reared up, but Liu Yun kicked it aside with his front hooves.
"ah!!!"
Huangfu Nanying was thrown off his horse and almost crushed by the horse, which was still in a frenzy before its death.
"How dare you injure the prince of Chu! Does your Great Jin want to reignite the flames of war?"
He never expected that this woman would attack him so suddenly.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the disheveled Huangfu Nanying and laughed heartily, "Do you deserve it?"
Even if something were to happen to you in Jin, would the emperor of Chu send troops because of your status?
Huangfu Nanying was furious.
Before anyone could speak, Qin Jinzhi said, "All Chu people, dismount immediately, or this will be your fate."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Aman and the others appeared behind Qin Jinzhi instantly.
The neatly arranged bird-patterned robes were now considered sacred by the people of Jin.
The Chu envoy shouted, "Is your Jin state going to break the treaty?"
If they dismount, what will become of the dignity of the Chu Kingdom!
Qin Jinzhi looked at the envoy and said firmly, "Count to three. If there are still people from Chu who haven't dismounted, I will kill the entire delegation on the spot. I'm waiting for your emperor to send troops to fight!"
Her words were like a boulder dropped into a pond, throwing the entire delegation into disarray.
In times of war, envoys are not to be killed, yet this woman threatened to kill the entire delegation.
Huangfu Nanying was furious, "How dare you! If it weren't for your Jin state's underhanded tactics, how could our Chu state have signed the surrender document! If war were to break out again, could your Jin state afford to fight!"
If Ninth Brother hadn't been kidnapped, they wouldn't have signed the surrender document.
A nation of despicable villains!
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at him, "One!"
Chidori Guard instantly drew the sword from behind him.
Huangfu Nanying never expected that Qin Jinzhi would actually be so audacious.
"Does the emperor of your Jin state know about your actions? Aren't you afraid he will punish you?"
"two!"
The Thousand Bird Guards surrounded the delegation that had already entered the city!
The Chu envoys were also thrown into a panic.
The Chu soldiers also drew their weapons and confronted the Thousand Bird Guards.
Huangfu Nanying stared at Qin Jinzhi, wondering who this woman was who dared to be so willful and reckless!
If a real fight breaks out, the guards he brought are enough to protect themselves, but then they won't be able to get Ninth Brother back.
He saw the smile in Qin Jinzhi's eyes and took a deep breath.
"dismount!"
At Huangfu Nanying's command, all the envoys who were sitting on horseback dismounted.
Qin Jinzhi's eyes were full of mockery. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Jinzhi. Don't forget my name when you're complaining!"
Huangfu Nanfeng is still in her hands, and the State of Chu dares not break with the State of Jin at this time.
Huangfu Nanying was just about to say that he would definitely complain to the emperor of Jin and make him punish her severely!
But her arrogant demeanor made it seem as if she was completely unafraid.
"Ah, people of Chu, those are also people of Chu."
Qin Jinzhi suddenly pointed towards the team that was escorting the Chu Kingdom's secret agents.
She pulled on the reins, and her vicious voice rang out again, "All Chu prisoners, crawl back to the Thousand Birds Bureau! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
Don't you like to put on a show of force?
Would the State of Chu like such a show of force?
Some members of the escort team resisted, while others complied.
Those who resisted were stabbed to death in the street, while those who submitted crawled like dogs right before Huangfu Nanying's eyes.
With bloodshot eyes, Huangfu Nanying said, "Your Jin Kingdom also has prisoners of war in the hands of the delegation. Aren't you afraid that I, the prince, will kill them all?"
Qin Jinzhi didn't even turn her head. "Whatever. I will avenge them if they die. As prisoners of war, they were able to sacrifice themselves for their country. Their deaths were worthwhile."
In that instant, the onlookers shouted.
"The princess is mighty! The princess is mighty!"
