After entering Longdu, King Youxian immediately found the Ministry of Rites, which was responsible for receiving foreign envoys, and when those people received the news, they immediately came to the palace.

"Your Majesty! Now that the Great Xia Kingdom has stabilized, the local people's rejection of us has gradually decreased. I think that soon the Great Xia Kingdom will be completely integrated into our Qian Kingdom!"

Zhuge Liang stood up, bowed to Ying Tian, ​​and said respectfully.

"Okay! Thank you all for your hard work during this period!"

After hearing his words, Ying Tian nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun walked quickly from outside and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty! There is an official from the Ministry of Rites outside who wants to see you. He said he has important matters to report to Your Majesty."

Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Kou Zhun, the Minister of Rites, frowned.

"Well! Is there something important you want to report to me? Then let him in!"

Cao Zhengchun nodded and turned away.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in hurriedly from outside.

"Your Majesty! I have something important to report to you!"

"Tell me what's going on!"

Ying Tian waved his sleeves and looked at the person below.

"Just now, the Xiongnu Zuo Xian Wang brought an envoy and asked to see Your Majesty. He said he had important matters to report to the Emperor and hoped to see you!"

"After I arranged for them to stay at the Honglu Temple, I immediately came to report this matter to the king!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar, and the expression on Ying Tian's face gradually became serious.

"Your Majesty! I think the Xiongnu have come with bad intentions this time! You should know that the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions were vassal states of the Xiongnu. Now that we have eliminated the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions, it is tantamount to slapping them in the face! More importantly, our presence has damaged the interests of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions!"

"So I think the purpose of this Right Wise King coming here is not simple!"

Xiao He frowned, then analyzed the purpose of the Right Wise King and others coming here.

"Yeah! What you said makes sense, but even if that's the case, so what? These are the territories we conquered with our own strength! If they want to take them back, they have to see if we agree or not!"

There was a cold light in Ying Tian's eyes, and then he spoke in a domineering manner.

"Since they want to see me, then bring them here now! After all, I also want to see what the purpose of these people coming here is?"

Ying Tian knocked gently on the throne below, and then saw the official from the Ministry of Rites.

"Yes!"

After respectfully bowing to Ying Tian, ​​the official from the Ministry of Rites walked away quickly.

Not long after, the official from the Ministry of Rites walked in, followed by a few arrogant-looking people.

"Your Majesty! The Hun envoy has been brought here!"

"Okay! You go down first!"

Ying Tian nodded and waved his hand. Seeing his expression, the official from the Ministry of Rites immediately retreated.

While Ying Tian was talking to the official, the Right Wise King and his men were also looking at Ying Tian.

"It seems that you are the king of Qian Kingdom! Today I see that you are indeed very heroic!"

The Right Wise King cupped his hands and then spoke.

The arrogance and contempt on his face made the generals and ministers present furious. Just when Cheng Yaojin was about to stand up and scold him, he was immediately stopped by Zhao Yun who was standing next to him.

"Right Wise King, do you Xiongnu also behave like this when meeting the rulers of other countries?"

Ying Tian had a cold face and spoke slowly.

"Of course! And I don't think you, the King of Qian, can handle higher etiquette!"

"Okay, okay! As expected of a country boy, it's normal for you not to know etiquette! I will forgive your rudeness this time!"

Ying Tian did not get angry but laughed instead and mocked the Right Wise King.

Upon hearing his sarcasm, the Right Wise King's face immediately turned dark.

"Your Majesty! I didn't come here to argue with you! The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were originally vassal states of our Xiongnu, but I didn't expect that you would lead your troops to conquer them!"

"When our Touman Chanyu heard the news, he did not feel angry. Instead, he asked me to send you his blessings!"

"After all, the strong prey on the weak, this is the law of nature! We cannot violate it! It is normal for the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions to be negatively affected by you!"

"Oh! Then thank your Chanyu Touman for his blessing on my behalf!"

Ying Tian held his chin and looked at the Right Wise King expressionlessly.

"But Right Wise King, I think you are not here just to send me blessings!"

"Of course! Our Touman Chanyu has always liked strong people, so he plans to marry one of his concubines to you, hoping to form a close relationship with you!"

"Another point is that although Your Majesty has conquered the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions, they are still the territory of our Xiongnu."

"So we hope that you can resume paying tribute to us and give us offerings every year! I have just observed Longdu, and it is even more prosperous than when the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions were in power! So the offerings must naturally be doubled!"

"What do you think?"

The Right Wise King stated all their demands, then looked at Ying Tian with a smile on his face.

"Haha! If I agree to this, what good will it do me?"

"Benefits? Naturally, they will be blessed by us Xiongnu!"

"Okay, King Qian! Stop dragging your feet. I have to hurry back to report the situation to our Chanyu Touman. Make a decision for me now!"

"If I don't agree, what will be the consequences?"

King Youxian was stunned for a moment by his question, because he did not expect that someone would ask such a question, instead of agreeing to it immediately.

"If you refuse our request, our Xiongnu cavalry will trample you to pieces later! We are not kidding!"

As soon as he finished saying this, Ying Tian shook his head with a sneer.

"Now I can give you a clear answer! I don't care about your so-called second place! Here, I can also tell you clearly that our Qian country does not want marriage! No compensation! No cession of land! No tribute! The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country!"

"From now on, no one should even mention the word 'marriage' in front of me! If anyone dares to mention this to me and future monarchs, he will be executed immediately!"

"As for paying tribute to you, that is even more impossible. If you want to fight, then fight! We in Qian Kingdom are not afraid of any enemy!"

At this time, Ying Tian looked extremely heroic, and exuded endless murderous intent.

When the Right Wise King saw Ying Tian's appearance, he was immediately frightened.

"Okay, okay! I didn't expect you to dare to reject us Xiongnu. If that's the case, then you can just wait for the arrival of our Xiongnu cavalry!"

"Humph! Go back and tell your Chanyu Touman that if he wants to start a war, then come! I see that you are an envoy, and I will kill you today! Get out of here right now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Right Wise King's face immediately turned dark. He stood up, snorted coldly, then turned and left.

Looking at his leaving back, the expressions of the civil and military officials present became serious.
