197 · Emissary of the North (Part II)
Subi looked like he had expected to be rejected, he didn't show fear, but smiled slightly, the strong man next to him suddenly took a step forward, and the weak court officials took a step back, they immediately realized that they should not be disrupted by this barbarian from the north, but it was too late, the moment they were seized by fear, they fell under the cold air emitted by the strong man.
The guards standing farther away trembled, and the sound of armor clashing was very harsh in the silent palace.
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng turned his back to the princess and looked at Subi squarely, he felt that the princess had already shown a displeased gaze.
Subi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty Cangyan can make concessions, and the Western Dynasty can keep Yuzhou, but it must hand over Suizhou to the north. "Neither humble nor arrogant, as if giving the most merciful alms to the defeated generals.
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng stared at Subi. The other party came prepared, he thought, it has been three days since Subi came to the capital, and he must have investigated the internal situation of the Western Dynasty in every detail, and it is precisely because he understands the Western Dynasty that he is full of confidence.
"On behalf of Her Majesty the Princess, I reject the bargain. Zhong Yan Pang Zheng replied calmly.
"I didn't ask you, Zhong Yan Pang Zheng. After Subi unceremoniously accused, he looked up at Princess Tilting Lotus, "Can you manipulate this dynasty instead of the princess?"
Every sentence was full of sarcasm, which made Zhong Yan Pang Zheng a little anxious, and he said, "You don't deserve to talk directly to the princess. ”
"It's about territory, and it must not be up to the Gonglian team to decide. ”
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng was speechless for a while. Gong Lian's team is ranked below Jinyi Wei in terms of rank, and is on the same level as the Zhenfu envoy - from the fourth rank, according to this, he is not even qualified to stand on the early court.
The princess suddenly spoke: "Lone does not agree to the transaction. ”
A grim look flashed in Subi's eyes, and he immediately put on a smiling face: "Please think twice, Your Majesty." ”
The strong man on the side seemed to feel the atmosphere of the breakdown of the negotiation, revealing a contemptuous expression through the mask, the strong muscles had risen one by one, and the majestic power burst out from the body of this behemoth monster. Zhong Yan Pang Zheng felt that he heard a loud rumbling noise, the zenith was shaking, and the bright white jade floor reflected a chaotic and cold aura, which slowly permeated the entire palace.
"Your Majesty Cangyan has entrusted me that if I have no choice but to go to war with Your Majesty. ”
The audience was in an uproar, more sarcastic and disdainful laughter. Princess Tinglian closed her eyes slightly, as if she was tired of this matter, and perhaps had no interest in listening to their rhetoric.
Strong men did bring unparalleled pressure to the important ministers present, but after all, they were not people who went to battle, and it was understandable to fear a strong strong man.
"It's good that Cang Yan can get out of the northern border alive!" a similarly strong general laughed breathlessly, and the court immediately let out a chorus of mockery.
Subi was indifferent, staring at the princess, waiting for the words to change her mind from her mouth.
Princess Tinglian closed her lips, and Shen Shuoxia, the maid who had been standing behind the dragon chair, walked out slowly.
"Your Majesty doesn't believe in the strength of the people of the North?" said Subi, "Our strength has exceeded your imagination, we are born from the same roots, we just want two lesser-inhabited states and counties, peace is the consistent pursuit of both sides, and I hope that Your Majesty the Princess will be cautious in her words and deeds." ”
Peace, what a rhetoric. Zhong Yan Pang Zheng thought to himself how to get these two vulgar and rude northerners out. They really seized the opportunity this time, if on weekdays, if the people of the north dared to blatantly provoke the imperial court, the princess would undoubtedly order the snow champion to kill them all, and now they must first stabilize the political situation in the capital, and they have no time or energy to pay attention to the small fights in the north.
However, the fact that the people in the north can be so rampant shows that the pressure on the snow champion over the years is too small, and they have to go to the north to rectify it afterwards. Zhong Yan Pang Zheng finished thinking, raised his head and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Subi.
"Princess, Your Majesty Cangyan has no patience to wait for me for too long, please make a decision now, whether to cut the land, or refuse?"
"If you refuse—"
"Your Majesty will die here. ”
Before the words fell, a whirlwind suddenly swept through the hall, Zhong Yan Pang Zheng felt that his body was thrown into the sky by a beast, his eyes were pitch black, and when he opened his eyes, he could no longer breathe.
Xu De, the strong man, stood behind Princess Tilting Lotus, her thick arms stuck in her slender neck, the princess's feet off the ground, her graceful and solemn dragon robe turned into wilted sparrows, her hands clasping the man's arms tightly behind her back to keep her breath flowing.
There is no doubt that as long as Xu De uses a little more force, Princess Tilting Lotus will be broken in half like a lotus plant.
The main hall seems to have sunk into the deep sea, and no one can make a sound.
Zhong Yan Pang Zheng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, he looked in the direction where Shen Shuoxia was standing just now, the maid had fallen to the ground, and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth.
The sense of security he had just now was destroyed in an instant, he was surrounded by helplessness and panic, the pain of suffocation turned his face purple, and Xu De's mask seemed to turn into a mocking smile-
That's what you do if you underestimate the people of the North.
"Princess ......"
His throat called.
Who can save the princess now? Shen Shuoxia was still by the princess's side a moment ago, and even she couldn't protect the princess, so how could others save her from Xu De's hands?
Subi was still unhurried and continued: "As an envoy, my patience is actually beyond your imagination, but again, His Majesty does not want to spend too much time on a deal that the Western Dynasty is destined to accept, so, princess, please make a decision quickly, whether to die generously or hand over the two states to us - I repeat, Suizhou and Yuzhou." You could have just handed over Suizhou, but you were too hesitant and too ignorant, and this was a necessary punishment. ”
Subi's provocation was unpleasant to everyone, and the supreme ruler of the Western Dynasty was instantly a prisoner and had to obey the unreasonable demands of this triumphant man. How can they wash away this great shame in blood?
"Maid, please don't move. Subi looked at Shen Shuoxia coldly, "I don't want a beautiful woman like you to become disabled, but Xu De is very heavy, please stay there until I finish talking to your princess." ”
After speaking, Xu De turned his head, and those eyes that only had ignorance revealed killing intent. Shen Shuoxia's body couldn't help sliding backwards.
Subi was very happy with the situation.
Suddenly, an unknown guard rushed out with a spear in hand, and his goal was very clear, it was Subi, who stood smug in the center of the main hall. The high-pitched shouts echoed through the main hall and became a thousand horses, pouring down on Subi like a raging river.
Spears advance.
"Whew-"
The cold silver light shimmered through the guard's armor, and Subi performed a magic trick of fighting for his life, the spear turning in the blink of an eye and stabbing at its brave master, the spearhead piercing the guard's body without hindrance, the stem of the torso stained with blood, and more red pouring out from behind the fine armor.
There is so much blood in the human body.
It flowed out of a vast ocean and spread out at Subi's feet. He is like a monarch who has stepped on his blood.
"What other warrior wants to try to defeat us?" Subi smiled and let go of his spear, and the guards and armor smashed to the ground with a loud bang that shook everyone present.
Seeing that the others were settled, Subi looked at the princess again.
"Your Majesty, I admire your composure. He found that there was not the slightest fear in the princess's eyes, and the puppet that had lost the ability to perceive, "Maybe you can't feel fear, but please recognize the situation, Your Majesty's dragon body is more precious than the two states." ”
"You're right. "Princess Tilting Lotus can still speak, and her voice has not changed at all.
What did her blank gaze mean, did she know that things would develop to such a point? Zhong Yan Pang Zheng was completely confused. He is scheming and good at long-term planning, but not good at dealing with emergencies.
Subi looked sleepy, obviously, he must not have expected that Princess Tilting Lotus was such a different person.
"Please, princess, decide. He had no choice but to say so.
"Lone thinks you're more reasonable. Princess Tilting Lotus narrowed her eyes—the iconic expression that showed that the princess was scrutinizing, thinking, and having figured out the next step.
As long as this kind of gaze is not aimed at Zhong Yan Pang Zheng, he feels at ease.
"Let Your Majesty laugh. However, before the envoy to the Western Dynasty, he did carefully study the etiquette of your country. ”
"In that case, you can go with Xu De's head. ”
As soon as Princess Tilting finished speaking, the strong man's head vanished, and he was split in two, and the rugged and intimidating head fell backwards and fell to the golden steps.
Subi looked at Princess Tilting Lotus in a daze, while Zhong Yan Pang Zheng showed a smile that turned defeat into victory. Giving hope to others, and then pulling him deeper into despair, the princess has a lot of experience in this regard.
The princess pushed Hudde's hand away and landed lightly on the ground, kicking his head in front of Subi.
"Go back, tell Cang Yan," she said, turning her back to Subi and walking back to her throne unsuspectingly, "Lone allowed him to go to war." ”
