Chapter 134: A Lesson Learned
Huangfu Nanfeng looked up and saw the person who walked in smiling like a fairy.
"I knew I couldn't fool you."
Qin Jinzhi looked at him coldly, "Huangfu Nanlin came to Jin Kingdom to rescue you and take you back. Huangfu Nanfeng, you really are not honest."
Huangfu Nanfeng smiled. "When did you guess that?"
Qin Jinzhi sat down on a chair outside the cage.
"From the moment he was identified as Huangfu Nanlin."
You and his mother are not on the same side. The reason I was able to capture you was because of the message sent by the Princess of Chu.
So in my eyes, you gave me the name Huangfu Nanlin because you wanted to take revenge on your eldest princess and use me as a tool for you.
You understand, as long as I know Huangfu Nanlin's identity, I will discover your intentions.
I will definitely release him, because I hope your Chu state will be in turmoil, and I hope that even if you return to Chu, you will not be able to ascend to that position.
Huangfu Nanlin can then take advantage of the chaos to rescue you. The mission is just a pretext; you will not go with the mission. You must return to Chu when no one knows, so that you can control the situation in Chu in the shortest possible time and seize the opportunity to start a rebellion.
It's a pity the person you chose is so stupid. Every reaction of his seems to have been programmed. It's too smooth. If I still couldn't figure out your plan after all this, I'd be an idiot.
Huangfu Nanfeng laughed even more heartily, "As expected, my Jinzhi understands me best."
Qin Jinzhi said coldly, "But you've caused me too much trouble."
She walked to the cage and opened it.
Huangfu Nanfeng was taken aback when he saw Qin Jinzhi step on his ankle.
"So I'm going to teach you a lesson."
Qin Jinzhi drew her sword from her waist and slashed at Huangfu Nanfeng's ankle.
Huangfu Nanfeng let out a painful growl, "Ah!!!"
Qin Jinzhi severed the Achilles tendon in his left foot!
He knew she was ruthless, and indeed she showed no mercy.
Qin Jinzhi coldly called out, "Come in."
Liu Yiyi walked in carrying a medicine box on her back. "This secret room entrance is so dark, I almost fell to my death!"
She saw that there was a cage inside, and a man was lying inside the cage.
He immediately grinned mischievously, "Wow! That's so exciting!"
Qin Jinzhi was speechless. "Reconnect his Achilles tendon."
Liu Yiyi stepped forward to check, and Huangfu Nanfeng suddenly tried to grab her.
Go to sleep.
Liu Yiyi pulled out a handful of powder from her sleeve and threw it at Huangfu Nanfeng's face.
Huangfu Nanfeng immediately fainted.
Liu Yiyi said with a haughty look, "How dare you look down on your grandma?"
Just now, Huangfu Nanfeng must have been trying to capture her to threaten Qin Jinzhi.
She's seen it all!
Liu Yiyi stepped forward to examine the wound and couldn't help but admire it, "Your hand is really steady. The wound is neat. I haven't personally set a broken tendon like this before."
He then opened his medicine box and took out silver needles.
Qin Jinzhi sat down to one side, "As long as it works, it's fine."
If Huangfu Nanfeng weren't still useful to her, she would have broken all four of his limbs!
Qin Jinzhi looked at the busy Liu Yiyi and said, "Come with me to the Zheng residence tomorrow."
Liu Yiyi immediately looked wary. "Someone died at the Zheng residence?"
She vomited all day after the last autopsy!
Qin Jinzhi smiled happily when she saw her expression.
"Don't worry, I've found you a helper."
Liu Yiyi pouted. What do you mean, "Don't worry"? She was the one who was most worried!
The next day, the delegation went to the palace to meet the emperor.
Huangfu Nanying entered the palace with the delegation.
The delegation bowed in unison, while Huangfu Nanying stood arrogantly to one side.
When he looked at the Emperor of Jin, he suddenly saw Qin Jinzhi beside the emperor.
"It's you!"
Huangfu Nanying angrily pointed at Qin Jinzhi and said, "This person publicly intercepted our Chu delegation and even threatened to slaughter the entire delegation. Shouldn't His Majesty give us Chu an explanation? Does Jin not want to sign a friendly alliance with Chu?"
The emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this, "This is my grandson. I've spoiled him, and he's a bit unruly. Fourteenth Prince, please don't mind him."
Huangfu Nanying never expected the emperor to say such a thing.
Why do you say she's just unruly and willful when she wants to kill the entire delegation?
Qin Jinzhi's gaze fell casually on Huangfu Nanying's face, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this! Are you looking down on our Chu Kingdom?!"
Huangfu Nanying was indeed enraged by Qin Jinzhi's laughter.
Upon hearing this, the minister of Jin immediately said, "What is the meaning of your Chu delegation entering the city without dismounting?"
Although Princess Jinzhi was domineering, she genuinely upheld the dignity of the Jin Kingdom.
If the Chu delegation were to ride directly into the city, where would the prestige of the Jin state be?
How do other countries view the State of Jin?
Huangfu Nanying snorted coldly, "So what? I, the prince, ride my horse freely in the capital of Chu. I don't have any of the rules of Jin!"
He attributed his act of riding into enemy territory to his habit.
The Chu delegation quickly replied, "Your Majesty, we are unaware of the rules of Jin and have no intention of offending you. We have come here to sign a friendly alliance with Jin and to bring back our Ninth Prince. This is the gift list we are presenting."
This is in an enemy country, and we might cause unnecessary trouble. The best course of action is to quickly bring the Ninth Prince back to the State of Chu.
I never expected that this princess would hold such a prestigious position, that a woman could stand in the grand hall of the Jin Kingdom.
However, the court officials began to discuss the matter extensively.
What Ninth Prince? The Ninth Prince of Chu was seriously injured and fell into a coma by the Prince of Zhenbei. Chu has signed a surrender document this time.
Qin Jinzhi did not let Hong Dequan leave, but instead walked up to the envoy and took the gift list herself.
She looked down as she flipped through the gift list. "It's not a friendly alliance."
The envoy was taken aback when he saw Qin Jinzhi looking at him with a smile and saying, "It's a letter of surrender!"
The Chu envoy's face immediately darkened; she showed absolutely no regard for Chu's feelings.
Huangfu Nanying immediately said, "What despicable means did your Jin state use to win this battle? How dare you insult our Chu state! Are all the people of Jin so shameless?"
Qin Jinzhi frowned, and to everyone's astonishment, kicked Huangfu Nanying to his knees.
The Chu delegation was furious. "What are you doing!"
They started to surround them as they spoke.
Qin Jinzhi drew her sword from her waist and placed it against Huangfu Nanying's neck.
"I hate noisy people the most, and also, people who have to kneel when they see His Majesty."
Qin Jinzhi threw the gift list at the face of the first envoy, saying, "If this is all the Chu Kingdom can offer, I will kill that man."
"You dare! You dare touch my ninth brother! The Chu army will surely crush your Jin state!"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Guess if I dare?"
She had a smile on her face, but the sword in her hand had already begun to embed itself into Huangfu Nanying's neck.
The Chu delegation was surprised by the princess's arrogance.
Their faces were grim, and despite the commotion in the hall, the Jin emperor had not uttered a word.
Who would believe he didn't prefer her?
One of the envoys who offered Qin Jinzhi silver notes said, "If your country is not satisfied with the gift list, we will discuss it again when we return, and we will definitely give a satisfactory result. But I wonder if we could meet our Ninth Prince?"
