The empress called her sister, and the goddess was willing to enter the mortal world

When the Beijing Kingdom learned that the other party wanted to teach them how to make salt, they were very happy and opened the city gates to welcome the arrival of the Nanyue envoys.

Lord Li knew nothing about salt production and asked Si Rang nervously.

"General Si, did His Majesty tell you the method of making salt?"

General Si comforted him: "Don't worry, Lord, you just need to show the style of our dynasty. Your Majesty will leave everything else to us."

Entering the territory of Beijing, the temperature had cooled down a lot. They met the Emperor of Beijing and explained their purpose. The Emperor was very sincere and gave them many precious jewels and also presented them with northern fox furs, fearing that he would neglect the distinguished guest.

Li Ge Lao also wanted to return to his homeland as soon as possible: "Your Majesty, the matter of making salt should be started sooner rather than later. Please start as soon as possible, which will also benefit the people."

Emperor Bei Jing's kind face was full of smiles: "Since you, Lord, don't mind the hard work, I will definitely cooperate."

The people of Beijing were very happy when they heard that envoys from Nanyue were coming to teach them how to make salt.

They have also heard that the people of South Vietnam have benefited from salt. Not only is the food they make delicious, but people have also become more energetic. Is it finally their turn, the Kingdom of Beijing?

Many people volunteered to help.

The subjects of Beijing were very surprised to hear about the method of making salt from lake water. Due to their unique geographical location, this is a method that is exclusive to them. It is such a big surprise.

Everyone was very grateful for the selfless sharing of the Emperor of Nanyue. The people, who already envied the people of Nanyue, were now even more envious.

Si Rang led the ministers of Beijing who were focusing on this matter to familiarize themselves with the process and then returned to the posthouse.

Li Ge Lao was very happy to see General Si. Although other countries were good, he still liked his own country more.

"General Si, is everything settled?"

Si Rang said with a serious face: "The matter of making salt is almost done, but the task assigned by His Majesty will take some time, so please don't be impatient."

He also knew that there were many things they didn't want him to know, so he couldn't ask and could only count the days and wait to go back.

The salt-making method taught by Nanyue was soon practiced throughout North Korea.

The people were celebrating, and Emperor Bei Jing was also very pleased.

Gifts were delivered to the post station one after another. Lord Li was very happy and thought of keeping some for himself and handing over some to the court.

Si Rang strode over and clasped his fists towards him: "Lord Li, the method of making salt has been fully applied to the Beijing Kingdom. Your Majesty's reputation has also spread throughout the Beijing Kingdom and is very popular among the people. You can leave with peace of mind."

Can we go now? Finally, we can go back. All the wrinkles on Li Gelao's face are rolled into one with a smile: "When are we going to leave?"

Si Rang looked at him.

"You can do it now. I will send you off."

A cold light flashed, and a long scratch appeared on Li Ge Lao's neck, with blood splattering everywhere.

He looked at Si Rang in confusion, why kill him?

He looked at the corner of the other person's lips with the last bit of clarity he had.

From the other person's opening and closing mouth, I heard: "Your Majesty has ordered that I accompany you after the salt production is completed. This will be your last contribution to the country."

He fell down with his eyes open, and never returned to the home he longed for until his death.

Si Rang finally couldn't bear it anymore, he reached out and closed the elder's eyes, and said softly: "Someone will come to take you home."

He left the envelope at the post house and retreated to South Vietnam with the rest of his brothers overnight.

The next day, Emperor Bei Jing received news that the envoy had died in the posthouse.

Emperor Bei Jing was furious: "Who is so bold? Investigate him!"

A minister read out the envelope left by Si Rang: "Your Majesty, General Si left a letter, which roughly means that our Bei Jing is trying to murder the elder. They are afraid of something bad happening, so they will return to Nanyue first and will ask our Bei Jing for an explanation later."

Emperor Bei Jing was very angry. Who on earth wanted to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries?

"Your Majesty, the person investigating this matter is seeking an audience outside the palace."

"Hurry up!"

The head of the Ministry of Justice came in with a dark face and said, "Your Majesty, my investigation found that the elder was killed by his own people."

When these words were spoken, the court was shocked. One of our own?

"The elder did not go out for many days. On the day he was killed, only General Si and his cronies were there. From beginning to end, our people did not see anyone else entering or leaving the posthouse."

The rest needs no explanation, everyone understands.

He was just a fuse. It was true that he made salt and it was also true that he wanted to attack the Bei Jing Kingdom. This was the truth!

They suddenly realized that this empress was really cruel!

Emperor Bei Jing clenched and unclenched his hands on the dragon throne.

This empress was more ambitious than he had imagined.

A minister said, "Your Majesty, the Empress was well prepared for this. The salt-making incident has made her famous in our country. Now that this incident has happened, the people will only think that our dynasty is incompetent. If we don't find a remedy in time, it will be very disadvantageous to us."

Listening to that person's nonsense, Emperor Bei Jing also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Do you have any good strategies to deal with this?"

Wu Chen stood up and said, "The Queen's move is not to test our country, but to tell us blatantly that she wants to unify us."

"It is rumored among the people that the Empress has something gifted by the goddess. I do not think it is appropriate to confront her head on."

As a civil official, he was naturally arrogant. One of the officials could not stand the military official's remarks and retorted: "As a military general, you are so cowardly. How can you take the rumors seriously?"

The general felt helpless: "There is no smoke without fire. Sometimes rumors are the truth. I don't know why the goddess came to Nanyue, and she favors the empress. If this is true, can you guarantee that the goddess will not take action when the troops are dispatched?"

Yes, who can guarantee that! The gods can destroy everything they have worked so hard to build in a moment. They also heard the divine punishment that day, and they still feel scared when they think about it now.

Some people still refused to give up: "What if? Gods see mortals as ants, why would they side with the Empress?"

The usually silent prince stood up and said, "Are you going to gamble the entire country on this one chance? Have you ever seen this god? She has only existed in legends. No one knows whether she will take action."

Emperor Bei Jing looked at the Crown Prince: "Does the Crown Prince have any good ideas?"

"I think that now we can only compromise and buy ourselves some extra time. We must meet this god at all costs. Although it is risky, it is the only chance."

Emperor Bei Jing closed his eyes and sighed: "The envoy of South Vietnam suffered an unexpected accident in our country. I am deeply sorry. I am willing to give three cities as compensation. I also ask the Empress not to be provoked by the villain and affect the friendship between the two countries."

Emperor Bei Jing had a look of vicissitudes on his face: "Prince, please go on this trip. Safety is the most important thing. If the country cannot be saved... The Empress's national policy is actually quite good. Take care of yourself. The rest is not important."

After saying these words, it seemed as if he had used up all his life's strength. The original kind emperor disappeared, and now he looked more like a weathered old man who was about to lose all hope.
