Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning
Chapter 230 I Send the Emperor to Marry (12)
Tian Wuji was standing below, and when he saw Xie Lang's gaze, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xie Lang looked at him calmly without saying anything. She just looked at him for a few seconds. When he presented the letter of alliance, she understood what he was thinking.
After a few breaths, Xie Lang still did not speak, but just looked at Tian Wuji calmly.
Tian Wuji was feeling very uneasy, with a frown on his face, and was just about to confess his guilt to Xie Lang and redraft the alliance letter.
"It's well written." Xie Lang said.
Tian Wuji was surprised, and then he heard Xie Lang say, "Don't write next time."
Next, he asked the palace servants to prepare writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and rewrote a new letter of alliance.
There are only a few strokes on it.
The State of Chu sent its monarch Chu Xiong to Beihuang to form an alliance with the eldest princess of Beihuang, Qi Piao, in order to establish friendly relations between the two families.
If it succeeds, there will be no war for five years; if it fails, the Northern Wilderness will be destroyed.
"Do you want to be the envoy to the Northern Wilderness this time?" Xie Lang put the brush on the pen holder, picked up the newly written alliance letter and blew it gently, and said casually.
Tian Wuji's eyes narrowed and he looked at Xie Lang in surprise. How did she know?
Could it be that she heard everything he said to Chu Xiong before?
Thinking of this, he felt guilty as if his thoughts had been exposed.
"Your Majesty, minister..."
Tian Wuji was about to explain when Xie Lang interrupted him: "Since you want to be the envoy to the Northern Wilderness, I will satisfy you."
Xie Lang spoke in a calm tone and ordered the palace servant to hand the newly written alliance letter to Tian Wuji.
Then he glanced at Tian Wuji and said, "Hand this letter of alliance to the ruler and ministers of the Northern Wilderness."
Tian Wuji took the letter of alliance and saw that Xie Lang wrote it in a very short time, as if he had only written a few words, so he was very curious about the content.
When I opened it, the first thing I saw was a few large characters written in a flowing and graceful manner. There was an indescribable wildness and arrogance in the opening and closing of the characters.
"If it succeeds, there will be no war for five years; if it fails, the northern wilderness will be destroyed."
This, this, this... is this definitely a letter of alliance, and not a challenge?
"Your Majesty, are you sure...are you sure this is a covenant?"
Tian Wuji confirmed with Xie Lang again and again. Although he did not agree with the marriage, this was the first time he had heard such arrogant words.
What is Xie Lang's confidence in saying this?
Handing this alliance letter to the monarch of Beihuang was a naked provocation. She was not afraid that the emperor of Beihuang would get angry and lead his army to attack the State of Chu.
"Even if the whole world is against me, I am not afraid at all. Do you think I will be afraid of a small Northern Wilderness?" Xie Lang stood up from his seat, walked down the stairs step by step, and then walked to Tian Wuji's side.
"For this marriage, do you think I really want to form an alliance with Beihuang?"
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Tian Wuji's heartbeat suddenly quickened and his breathing became heavier.
"Many countries coexisted, and the six countries competed for supremacy, but in the end, only Chu would remain." Xie Lang spoke slowly and calmly, but his words were powerful: "Northern Wilderness, Qin, Jin... the territories of all the countries on this continent are my territories, and those monarchs are just governing those territories on my behalf."
"Since Northern Wasteland is my territory, how can this marriage be considered an alliance? It is nothing more than a marriage granted by me between Chu Xiong and the eldest princess of Northern Wasteland."
what?
Tian Wuji was once again shocked by Xie Lang's words.
The whole world belongs to her, and those kings are just governing the territory on her behalf.
At this moment, Tian Wuji really wanted to ask, does she know what she is talking about?
"You belittled Chu Xiong in your letter of alliance and specifically mentioned the thousand-mile land, just to anger the monarch of Beihuang and make him refuse to marry the Chu State. In this case, my letter of alliance should be to your liking, so what are you shocked about?" Xie Lang said indifferently.
Hearing this, Tian Wuji's head buzzed.
She knew, she knew everything.
Not only did he know, but what he wrote was even more exaggerated than what he wrote. If what he wrote still left some room for angering Bei Huang, Xie Lang's was pure provocation.
Didn't she want Chuxiong to marry her as a royal marriage? Then why were the words in the alliance so intense?
It seems that it is an honor for Beihuang to be able to marry into the State of Chu.
But considering what she said, she had long regarded the Northern Wilderness as her own territory, and regarded the marriage as a granted marriage, so it is not surprising that the alliance letter was written in this way.
"Your Majesty, if Beihuang does not intend to form an alliance with Chu and send troops to attack Chu, then..."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xie Lang looked slightly angry, as if he was dissatisfied with Tian Wuji's too many questions: "If you don't want to go, then let someone else go."
Tian Wuji was afraid that Xie Lang would really change people, so he quickly said: "No, no, no... This matter must be handled by me. I will hand over this alliance letter to the king and ministers of Beihuang, and try my best to promote this marriage. As for the result, I can't guarantee it."
He said he would try his best and could not guarantee the result. He went there just to stop the marriage.
In his opinion, although Chu Xiong had many faults, he was still the monarch of Chu after all and represented the face of Chu. Asking him to marry would not only make Chu Xiong lose face, but also the face of Chu.
Once the marriage really took place, the State of Chu would be laughed at by the people of the world, which he could not tolerate.
However, what he did not realize was that when personal ability can overturn everything, these old moral concepts will be reshaped, and Chu Xiong's marriage is not a shame to the State of Chu, but a unilateral humiliation to Chu Xiong and others.
…………
Half a month later, in the Beihuang Palace.
A man in a brown dragon robe was pacing back and forth in the hall with a gloomy face, holding a secret report sent by a spy from the State of Chu.
His hair was tied up with a crown, he had a small tuft of beard on his chin, a high nose bridge, a resolute face, and he looked intimidating without even being angry. Even from a distance, one could feel his inviolable aura.
He is the Emperor of Northern Wilderness, Qi Yuan.
After a while, Qi Yuan stopped and looked at Qi Piao who had been standing still: "Sister, what do you think?"
What Xie Lang did in Chu was soon known by spies in Beihuang and reported to Qi Yuan, including the matter of arranging a marriage between Chu and Xiong.
Because the behavior was so shocking, it was only a matter of time before it spread to other countries. Now Qi Yuan and others knew about it in advance.
Qi Piao was wearing a black long dress with wide sleeves, which was embroidered with exquisite patterns in gold thread. She had her hair combed into a high bun, and her hair accessories were not many but delicate enough. She was nearly forty years old but her appearance was still the same, and her whole body exuded elegance and nobility.
When she heard Qi Yuan's question, her eyes flashed with ambition: "If the information is true, and it is confirmed that the Emperor of Chu wants to marry, just agree directly."
Since Tian Wuji was still on the road, they had not yet learned the content of the alliance letter, but through intelligence, they guessed that it should be a marriage alliance.
"Sister, this is your marriage after all." Qi Yuan pretended to be shocked, as if he was worried about Qi Piao.
"I am the eldest princess of the Northern Wilderness. For the Northern Wilderness, what does a small marriage mean?" Qi Piao's face was unmoved, as if she didn't take the marriage seriously at all: "It is Chu Xiong who wants to marry here, not me. What's more, no matter what Chu's purpose is, as long as Chu Xiong enters our Northern Wilderness, he can't do what he wants in the future."
"If the news gets out that the monarch of Chu is marrying the eldest princess of Beihuang, it will bring shame to Chu. And I, Beihuang, can also make a profit through Chu Xiong. If I refuse this hostage who has been sent to me for free, wouldn't it be too unworthy of God's kindness?"
Qi Yuan sighed and said, "That being said, it's really hard for you."
Qi Piao's reputation was already very bad, and if she were to marry Chu Xiong, her reputation might really become infamous.
"It's not difficult for me." Qi Piao thought deeply for a moment, his eyes solemn: "But... if the information from Chu is true, that Chu Princess Chu Lanrui... will be the enemy of the whole world."
When Chu Lanrui was mentioned, Qi Yuan instantly became serious. He could guarantee that the spies he sent out were loyal and would never pass on false information.
Since the information is true, is Chu Lanrui still a human being?
