Ning Jie, who was originally quite worried, was also stunned after seeing the two women coming back hand in hand.
"Hmph, you scoundrel, I'm letting you down!"
Afafu pouted and snorted, deliberately speaking in a somewhat arrogant manner, while Chu Miaohan glared at him coldly.
In the next few days, the two women worked together to take care of Ning Jie, which made Ning Jie very happy.
I thought to myself that it was worth using this scapegoat!
A few days passed.
Ning Jie's injuries had basically healed, so the three of them sat together and began to draft a ceasefire agreement.
"A ceasefire is only one aspect. The subsequent peace still requires friendly coexistence and joint maintenance between the two countries. So let's add this..."
It was said that the three of them drafted it together, but in reality Ning Jie's job was just to watch from the side and turn the paper and grind the ink for the two women.
"Well, it's done. Let the messenger deliver it."
Afafu immediately called a soldier over and asked him to go to Daxia immediately and hand over the treaty to the Emperor of Daxia.
I thought the matter was over and Afafu was planning to return home, but I didn't expect that an unbelievable news suddenly came.
"Report! Your Highness, the peace treaty has been delivered to the Emperor of Daxia, but he tore it up in public, and..."
"Beheaded our army's envoy on the spot!"
Bang!
Upon hearing this, the expression on Afafu's face suddenly became a little unhappy.
"What did you say? He beheaded our army's envoy in public?"
The two armies did not kill the envoys when they were fighting. The Emperor of Daxia's behavior can be said to be throwing the face of Afafu and even the entire ancient country of Galan on the ground.
Not only did it make the negotiations between Ning Jie and Chu Miaohan in vain, but it also completely annoyed Afafu.
"No, what's going on?"
Ning Jie's face was also full of confusion at this moment.
What does the Emperor of Daxia want to do?
Now, this peace treaty determines whether the two countries will go to war or not, and it concerns the safety of billions of citizens!
How could he act like this?
This will bring disaster to all the lives of people in the world!
Chu Miaohan also frowned at this time.
"Your Majesty's behavior this time is indeed very strange."
"The benefits of friendly relations between the two countries are so obvious and huge that even an ordinary citizen can see it. Why is he so out of touch?"
"There must be something fishy going on. Sister Fu Fu, could you give Ning Jie and I some time to go back and find out the reason?"
Ning Jie also nodded towards Afafu.
Hearing this, Afafu took a few deep breaths, and the aura around her slowly subsided.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, sister."
"But if the Great Xia Emperor still maintains this attitude, our ancient kingdom of Galan will not give up easily!"
Ning Jie and Chu Miaohan could fully understand Afafu's attitude.
After all, it concerns the reputation of the entire ancient country of Galan. If we really make concessions again and again, the millions of people in Galan will not agree.
The matter was urgent, so the two of them hurriedly said goodbye to Afafu and rushed to the Great Xia Imperial City.
Ning Jie directly summoned the recovered Sibu Xiang, and it only took one day to rush back.
The two returned to the palace and were about to meet the Emperor of Daxia, but were stopped by Sha Xin who was waiting there in advance.
"What? Junior Sister Xia was put in solitary confinement because she opposed the decision to go to war in the court?"
Ning Jie had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Xia Wanqing is a princess of the Great Xia Dynasty and a disciple of the Drunken Swordsman Qiu Yuebai.
Now he is under house arrest just for expressing his opposition in the court?
Ning Jie suddenly felt a little angry in his chest.
However, he knew that this was not the time to act decisively, so he decided to go to the palace to find Xia Wanqing to find out what was going on.
So he waited until night and took advantage of the guard change time to come to Xia Wanqing's bedroom.
“Senior Brother!”
As soon as she entered the bedroom, Xia Wanqing immediately threw herself into Ning Jie's arms.
His originally anxious expression now looked a little better.
Ning Jie patted her shoulder comfortingly.
"Okay, don't panic. Tell me about your father's recent situation. How could a ruler of a country become so reckless?"
Xia Wanqing calmed down and sorted out what had happened in the past few days in her mind.
"I don't know exactly when it happened, but my father has been acting very strangely lately. He even forgot my birthday."
"And whether it's in the court or in the palace, if anything goes against his will, he will punish you severely."
"So much so that recently ministers dare not speak in the court."
After hearing what Xia Wanqing said, Ning Jie sighed.
Although it seemed outrageous, it wasn't surprising at all.
Then he told him about the death energy he had detected in the Emperor of Daxia in the palace.
She also told Xia Wanqing that he had the same aura as the black shadow that escaped from the secret room at the bottom of the lake after being attacked by the Buddha's light.
And he suspected that the Emperor of Daxia might have undergone some unknown changes a long time ago.
What secret is he hiding!
At this moment, Ning Jie's face was solemn. After thinking for a moment, he said to Xia Wanqing:
"I have a plan..."
After hearing this, Xia Wanqing nodded without any hesitation. It seemed that the most important thing now was to find out what had happened to her father.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Xia Wanqing asked the guards to help pass on a message, saying that she had reflected on her thoughts and agreed with her father's decision.
Soon, the Emperor of Daxia agreed to allow her to lift the ban and attend the morning court.
In the court, the Emperor of Daxia holds a high position. His originally dignified but easy-going look now only gives off a sense of brutality.
"After today, Daxia will launch an all-out war against Galan! Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?"
The Emperor of Daxia glanced around, but the ministers in the audience all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Are you kidding? Those who opposed it before were either severely punished or directly dismissed from their posts.
Even the eldest princess was put in solitary confinement, who would have any objection? Who would dare to object?
Just as the ministers were silent, that familiar voice sounded again.
"Didn't the Emperor want to avoid war before? Why does he insist on doing so now?"
Xia Wanqing's resounding question made all the ministers look at her sideways again.
A hint of indifference flashed in the eyes of the Great Xia Emperor.
"Humph, Galan first sent a large army to the border, directly forcing our country to hand over the people for reconciliation."
"And you're sending us a so-called peace treaty just when we're about to go to war?"
"Aren't you just teasing me?"
The Emperor of Daxia slammed the dragon throne with a sound like a loud bell.
"The peace treaty clearly states that Galan will not only withdraw his troops, but will also return the city of Daxia."
"At the same time, they will provide compensation and apologize for the harassment. How can you see this as a joke?"
"You are clearly acting on your own will, disregarding the safety of the people!"
"Your actions are no different from those of a tyrant!!"
"presumptuous!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Daxia immediately became furious, and a wisp of witchcraft energy was inadvertently released from his body.
At this moment, Ning Jie, who had been hiding in the dark for a long time, suddenly focused his eyes and revealed his figure.
"Oh, I see!"
