Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Seeing the Jin army retreating like a tide, not only the soldiers of Dayuan cheered. Even the people who were originally from the Jin Kingdom and were incorporated into Dayuan were overjoyed!

While I was happy, I also found it incredible that the Jin army retreated without even fighting.

This is really unbelievable.

Of course, the Jin Kingdom withdrew decisively, so the Emperor of Dayuan did not ask them to sign a vassal treaty and simply treated them as equal friends.

The king of Jin and his envoys and generals were finally relieved of their worries after the final decision.

Although the cession of several cities seemed extremely humiliating, the powerful power of Dayuan's gunpowder weapons was indeed terrifying.

After all, after several battles, the bloody defeat was in front of them, and there was no chance of a comeback. If that was the case, why should he let his soldiers go up and give away their heads frequently?

Anyway, you will lose if you fight or not. You will have to cede the city in the end, so why not retreat in a more dignified way?

In addition, on the day of the peace talks between the three kingdoms, Empress Tiansheng and the eunuchs used magic frequently, which frightened the King of Jin and the envoys who witnessed the horrific scene. Afterwards, we also witnessed how the God-blessed Princess Le'an of Dayuan turned the tide and rescued everyone from the Shura Field.

Such a dangerous scene must not happen again.

In addition, they hoped to rely on Dayuan to help the Jin Kingdom avoid being slaughtered by the evil Tiansheng in the future. Therefore, the king and envoys of the Jin Kingdom were extremely tactful and decisive when ceding the city.

The King of Jin and the envoy: ...How can they not be fragile? The lingering fear from returning from the mountain had not yet subsided. For several days in a row, they dreamed of the pair of evildoers rushing towards them with bared fangs and claws. They were so scared that they almost lost their souls and were killed directly in their dreams.

Of course, after the negotiations between the two countries were completed, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious and relaxed.

Under the bulging eyes of the Seventh Prince's uncle and the burning gaze of the Crown Prince, Lin Xiaoyue scratched her head and had to take out her "treasured" Erguotou from the space, deceiving everyone that it was the most precious wine given by the gods, and took it out to celebrate with everyone.

When they heard that it was the immortal wine bestowed by gods, not only the Seventh Uncle and the Crown Prince were eager to make a move, but even the wise and powerful emperor could not hold back and personally went out to grab two bottles and hide them.

In the end, of the nine bottles of Erguotou that Lin Xiaoyue took out, the emperor and the prince each took two bottles, and the seventh uncle took three bottles, leaving only two bottles to celebrate with the King of Jin and the envoys.

Looking at the dazzling array of delicious dishes on the table in front of them, as well as... a small cup of wine, the King of Jin and the envoy said:...

They lost several cities, but got such a small cup of wine..., why don't they just kill them...

As a result, after a delicious meal and a full stomach, the Seventh Prince, who could not handle the strong alcohol content of Erguotou, accidentally uttered the "truth" after drinking, "Hiccup... This wine is only available in heaven, and it is rare to drink it on earth... This wine... is a gift from the gods... Immortal wine..."

These words shocked the drunken King of Jin and his envoy so much that the blood rushed to their heads and they almost exploded on the spot.

W…what? …Immortal Brew??? Is this the Immortal Brew they understand???

The facial expressions of the King of Jin and the envoy cracked, and they were torn apart inch by inch. No wonder... No wonder after taking a bite, the whole person was in turmoil from the inside out. This... This... This is too much of a waste of natural resources!

No wonder it’s just a small cup…

……

No, no! If there is such a small cup, there must be more. After all, they have people in Dayuan who are favored by the gods!

As a result, the subsequent banquet went off track, with the King of Jin and his envoys not caring about their image at all, and vying to grab the Seventh Uncle and refusing to let go, demanding that he take out more Erguotou.

Seeing that the Seventh Uncle was being entangled by someone, the Emperor and the Crown Prince looked at each other, remained silent, and quietly fled.

When the Seventh Uncle finally knocked the King of Jin and the envoy who were pestering him to the ground and roared about trying to change his target, he was shocked to find that the Emperor and the Crown Prince had already slipped away without him knowing.

The Seventh Prince’s nostrils flared with anger: ...Good...the imperial family is the most ruthless, hey.

As for Lin Xiaoyue, she certainly did not attend the banquet. After giving her the Erguotou, she was carried back on a stretcher by Chun Xing and Xiao Cao, accompanied by Sun Wanjin and the other two Seven Wolves, and she obediently received treatment from Doctor Li and Doctor Qiao.

While she was confined to her room and recuperating from her injuries, the news of the Jin Kingdom's withdrawal swept across the land like a spring breeze. The people of the ceded cities were all incorporated into Dayuan. The emperor returned to the court to take charge of the overall situation and dispatched relevant court officials to take over the new cities.

The Seventh Uncle and the Crown Prince who stayed behind adjusted the layout of camps, defense lines, border garrison systems and guard ethics on the expanded border.

-----------------

As for the attitude shown by Tiansheng, it was very strange. More than half a month had passed, and there was no movement at all. Even the troops stationed on the border did not move at all. They were like an old tree with twisted roots, entrenched on the border, as if they were determined to fight Dayuan to the end.

The Seventh Prince Uncle would not tolerate them. Since they would not cry until they saw the coffin, he would mobilize the troops and attack Tiansheng.

In fact, it is not Tiansheng’s fault that he did not take any action, but their empress has been missing since the peace talks and her whereabouts are unknown.

The ministers in the Tiansheng court originally wanted to use this opportunity to hold Dayuan and the Jin Kingdom accountable, attempting to use public opinion to make the two countries hesitate and not dare to launch a war at this critical juncture.

But who would have thought that the battle reports sent back from the front clearly stated that Empress Tiansheng could drive the water, and the eunuch chief who accompanied her could set fire with his bare hands. When you think about it, before the empress came to the throne, those who disobeyed her either drowned in the lake or were burned to death in inexplicable fires... Now that you think about it, it matches the current rumors.

The ruler of a country is actually a monster who is neither human nor ghost. Who can tolerate this?

Anyway, all the courtiers of Tiansheng couldn't believe it and took a deep breath. Thinking that they had lived in a daze for quite some time under the monster's nose, they didn't know whether they should thank God for blessing them or their ancestors for their good deeds so that they didn't die tragically at the hands of the monster...

In short, because of the monster incident, people in the Tiansheng court were in panic. In addition, Emperor Tiansheng killed all his brothers before he came to the throne. Now, without the orthodox royal family to take charge, even if the throne was vacant, no one dared to sit on it.

Just kidding, the battle report from the front only mentioned the empress, oh no, the monster's whereabouts were unknown, but it didn't say it was dead.

Now, even if the throne is vacant, who dares to sit on it?

Don’t be afraid that the monster will strike back one day, because whoever sits on the throne will die then.

Tiansheng's courtiers looked at each other, their faces filled with unconcealable shock and fear.
