Xia Wanqing used her spiritual power to suppress the voices of everyone.
Seeing that it was the princess who spoke, all the court officials fell silent, but Xia Wanqing was furious at this time.
"Galan asked us to sacrifice the lives of our companions in exchange for peace. This is a contempt and humiliation to our Great Xia Dynasty!"
"But you, a bunch of villains, not only don't object to this kind of betrayal and betrayal of your companions, but you actually praise it?!"
"You take my Great Xia's salary, yet you do things that enhance the prestige of others. Have you lost your conscience?"
"If the generals weren't stationed at the front lines and unable to come to the court, I'd probably chop you down on the spot after hearing what you're saying!"
"You're all being so hypocritical, it's simply because the other party wants Ning Jie. What if they want you?"
"Are you willing to sacrifice yourselves? Anyone willing to step forward, I'll let him and Ning Jie become the 'hero who saves the nation'!"
Faced with Xia Wanqing's angry rebuke, all the civil officials lowered their heads and dared not breathe.
Xia Wanqing turned to the Great Xia Emperor and said:
"Father, we absolutely cannot agree to hand over Ning Jie."
"The war hasn't even begun, and the outcome is still unknown, yet Galan is directly putting forward conditions to us as someone of high rank. This clearly shows that he doesn't take Daxia seriously."
"If we hand over Ning Jie this time, who can guarantee that they won't make even more excessive demands next time?"
"Bullying doesn't happen all at once, nor does it end all at once. I absolutely won't agree to it!"
Xia Wanqing's words made Chu Miaohan look sideways.
Although there is suspicion of maintaining a personal relationship, this long-term and thorough vision is real.
Whether from a national or personal perspective, it is not a wise choice to give in easily when faced with threats.
The law of the jungle is an iron rule that cannot be violated. When two creatures that have never met before meet, they will definitely test each other to find out each other's level.
If one party gives in directly, then future encounters will most likely end with that party giving in.
Even if there is no way to retreat and a desperate counterattack is launched, it will inevitably end in failure when facing an opponent that has occupied more resources for a long time.
At this time, the Emperor of Daxia was a little embarrassed and suddenly felt that today was not a suitable day to attend court.
"Um... ahem, I'll think this over carefully. Today's meeting ends here. We'll discuss this later. Everyone, please leave!"
Seeing her father's attitude, Xia Wanqing did not chase him to ask, but went straight to Ning Jie's residence.
"Brother, don't sleep!"
Ning Jie, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt the world turning upside down. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Xia Wanqing sitting next to him.
"Ah...? Junior sister...what's the matter?"
Ning Jie was forced to turn on his computer early in the morning, and his head was still a little groggy. After all, the Eye of Insight consumes mental energy, and Ning Jie had consumed quite a lot of it yesterday.
Xia Wanqing looked at Ning Jie's appearance and suddenly felt very distressed. She swallowed back the words she wanted to tell him.
"Nothing, I just missed you and came to see you."
Hearing this, Ning Jie, who was not fully awake yet, did not react immediately. He nodded twice before realizing something was wrong.
Didn't we just meet early this morning? Even if you suddenly had the urge, according to your habit, you would probably just lie down and sleep together.
What does it mean to force my computer to start up?
Ning Jie shook his head and came to his senses. He carefully observed Xia Wanqing's expression and realized that something was wrong.
"Junior sister, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. Covering up things will only make me think too much and won't make me feel at ease."
Hearing this, Xia Wanqing paused and had to tell him what had just happened in the court meeting.
When Ning Jie heard this, he realized that this was definitely a request made by Afafu, otherwise he would not think that he was so valuable that he could influence the war between the two countries.
"That's it, no problem. I'll leave for the ancient kingdom of Galan tomorrow."
"no!"
Seeing Ning Jie's reaction, Xia Wanqing suddenly became anxious.
"This journey is extremely dangerous, Brother, you absolutely cannot go."
"I have already strongly opposed this matter, and there is no way my father will agree to hand over anyone to seek peace!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"
Xia Wanqing became more and more excited as she spoke, and her little hands tightly grasped Ning Jie's arm, fearing that he would really die.
The next moment, Ning Jie hugged Xia Wanqing in his arms and patted her back gently.
"Calm down, my princess, don't be so excited. Do I look like someone who wants to die?"
"Galan just said that they want to hand me over, but they don't necessarily want my life. It's okay for me to go and take a look!"
"Don't always think too badly of things, it will affect your judgment."
With Ning Jie's comfort, Xia Wanqing finally calmed down, but still spoke.
"What if there's danger? I don't want you to take that risk."
Ning Jie helped Xia Wanqing up, looked into her eyes, and gently rubbed her head with one hand.
"Don't worry, since I don't intend to die, I must be sure to escape unscathed."
"And since the ancient nation of Galan made this request during the war, it proves that they have set their sights on me, and even that this war is directed at me."
"Whether I go or not, they won't let me go, but if I go, I can avoid an unnecessary war, so why not?"
