Autumn is coming to an end and the weather is getting colder.
The envoys from the two countries have arrived.
People like Wanyan Aggu and Sima Chuchu were not real envoys. They were the ones who first went to Jingyang City to cause trouble.
When an envoy comes to visit, he must use two or three carriages to carry some gifts or something. He can't just come empty-handed, right?
Even though they wish that all the beautiful land of Jing Kingdom could belong to them, they still have to do the superficial work!
The reason why Wanyan Agu stopped making trouble recently is because he was beaten by Chao Man'er and Ye Hongxue and couldn't get out of bed for ten days.
Since that day, Sima Chuchu has been targeted, so she has not committed any crimes again. As a result, the Ministry of Justice has been unable to obtain the most powerful evidence to arrest her!
When the envoys from the two countries entered the city, many people came to watch.
The Northern Dan Kingdom, for some reason, had gone mad, driving over ten thousand lambs. Yes, lambs—lambs only a few months old. Could it be that they were trying to convey the image of a lamb being slaughtered?
The most eye-catching sight in Yue State was the twelve stunningly beautiful women draped in veils. Their beauty and figures were truly one in a million! It was said that these were tributes to Baili Tang! Yue State also offered tributes of jade, agate, ivory, and other rare treasures! Compared to the Northern Dan State, Yue State's sincerity was undeniable!
"The Northern Dan Kingdom is going too far! What's the point of sending a lamb?"
"In my opinion, Yue State is the one going too far. Sending twelve stunning women to Your Majesty, do you still expect Your Majesty to attend court properly?"
The people were talking about it.
The envoy came to the court with bad intentions!
Zhang Dongzheng and his team were naturally the ones to receive the envoys. Baili Tang instructed them to proceed with the normal reception and not to do anything else. He would leave them alone for a few days before meeting them.
It was just superficial work. Zhang Dongzheng did a great job, organizing a particularly grand welcome ceremony. He even threw a banquet at Wangjing Tower to welcome the envoys from both countries, including thousands of people including coachmen—after all, the money was paid by Wangjing Tower!
Jingguo has given you enough face, so don’t be shameless!
The embassy of the State of Yue.
A woman of similar age to Sima Chuchu, claiming to be unwell, did not go to dinner and instead sent someone to find Sima Chuchu in her room. As soon as Sima Chuchu entered the room, she immediately slapped her hard!
"Idiot! Look at what you've done in Jingyang City recently!"
"Sima Yu, why did you hit me?"
"No reason!" Sima Yu said, and slapped her again!
Sima Chuchu, who had a bad temper to begin with, couldn't stand it any longer and immediately started a fight with the other person! However, she was not well-trained and was no match for the other person!
"You are just like your cousin Lin Yiyi, a waste who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything! Do you think that you can commit a murder here perfectly?" Sima Yu said angrily.
"They have no evidence, so what can they do to me?" Sima Chuchu said nonchalantly, "Also, this is Jingyang City. My father isn't here, so you'd better show me some respect. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
"Really? Father said that I will take full control of Jingguo's intelligence network, and you, as a princess married to Baili Tang, will be his consort!"
"I'm sick, so I can't kiss!"
"It doesn't matter. You are no longer Miss Chuchu of Cuiyi Tower, but Princess Chuchu of Yue State! If you really were sick, wouldn't it be better? As long as Baili Tang touches you, it won't be long before he becomes ill and dies."
"court death……"
The Embassy of the Northern Dan Kingdom.
When Wanyan Agu saw his brother Wanyan Ada, he immediately started to spit out bitter words: "Royal brother, you must avenge me! Ye Hongxue and Chao Man'er, those two bitches, I will never let them go!"
Wanyan Ada is a sturdy man with a more pleasing face than the lean Wanyan Agu. He is polite and courteous in his manners and conversation. But don't be fooled by his words and actions; he eats raw beef every other day...
His concubines could only survive for half a year at most, and the shortest was less than a day! !
Therefore, Wanyan Ada was over 21 years old and still had no wife. No minister in the court of Beidan Kingdom dared to marry their women to this big devil.
Wanyan Agu, on the other hand, was a little devil. His woman often invited his brother to join her...
Both are the biological children of the Queen of Beidan Kingdom, and their status is very noble! This time, Baili Qinru must choose one of the two brothers - in fact, it doesn't matter who she chooses!
Jingyang Palace.
Baili Tang already had a certain understanding of the various forces in Beidan and Yue, as well as the relationships between the royal family members.
First of all, whether it is the Beidan Kingdom or the Yue Kingdom, there will inevitably be party disputes in the court; secondly, there will also be powerful and ambitious families like the Lin family; and there will also be open and secret struggles among the royal family members.
Especially the State of Yue, Sima Yu who is leading the team now, and Sima Chuchu who is causing trouble in Jingyang City, have a very bad relationship!
Sima Yu's mother was a favorite concubine, while Sima Chuchu's mother was banished to the cold palace when she was very young. Therefore, Sima Chuchu was sent out of the palace when she was very young... No wonder this woman is so cruel!
Baili Tang had basically figured out the personalities of the two princes from Beidan Kingdom.
Furthermore, many of the envoys from both countries were said to be remarkable figures, either possessing exceptional martial arts skills, talents, or exceptional intelligence!
Zhang Dongzheng and others also specifically told him which people to be wary of!
On the surface, Baili Tang told Zhang Dongzheng and others that he would take care of it, but in his heart he was thinking about making a big deal out of it!
You can't just swallow your anger when people bully you right at your doorstep, right?
This is not about being impatient and ruining big plans, but about being tough when necessary, and you must be tough!
Spies reported that wheat harvests in the northern Dan region near Jing State were less than a third of their usual yield due to drought. This wasn't the worst of it; the worst was the plague, which had killed over 800,000 horses, cattle, and sheep. The livestock death toll continued to rise!
Snow had already begun to fall in many parts of the Northern Dan Kingdom. Their 300,000-man army was indeed approaching, but the herders of the Northern Dan Kingdom, whose horses, cattle, and sheep had been killed, might be able to survive for a month or so. But how would they survive the coldest months of November, December, and the first lunar month?
The number of disaster victims in Beidan Kingdom is bound to increase from 100,000 to 200,000 or 300,000... They have nothing to eat, so they can only go south and plunder the people in the northern part of Jing Kingdom!
In comparison, Yue was much more tolerant. A portion of Yue's territory was hot year-round, allowing for three rice harvests per year, making them relatively prosperous. Yue also didn't want to fight. To their south, they faced occasional friction with several other states...
"Dad, do you think there will be another war?"
"Hey, why did you leave the palace? You don't clean up the shit..."
"I ran away quietly!"
"That depends on His Majesty's opinion... However, the disaster in Beidan is severe right now!" Ye Chao clenched his fists tightly. "By the way, did you see Liang Erhu in the palace?"
"He's so cool! He seems to be practicing drums! No, Dad, why do you always ask about him? Are you hiding something from me?"
