The White-haired Queen

Chapter 145 Meeting with King Bei Cang

Wen Lanyue's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were as cold as ice, and his voice was even more emotionless as he said, "Lord Ebony Wolf, are you panicking already?"

The Ebony Wolf Lord's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he still said calmly: "Your Majesty, this person is talking nonsense and slandering me. Please make a judgment!"

Wen Lanyue raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer: "Humph! Rare earth mine, because you are eager for quick success and instant benefits, you don't care about the safety of the miners. Under the emergency mining, the safety measures in the mine are not guaranteed at all. What's the result? A landslide occurred on the first day of mining, killing five miners innocently; on the third day, the tragedy happened again, and three more miners were buried in it; on the seventh day, due to the darkness of the mine, an accident occurred again, and a miner was seriously injured in the leg and left with a lifelong disability..."

The Ebony Wolf Lord's face was distorted by anger, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and there was panic, disbelief, and resentment towards Taylor. He knew that he could not admit these things today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Then, Lord Ebony Wolf took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and then pretended to be calm and said: "Whether speaking or doing things, you need to have evidence! You are now making up stories without any basis, not only interfering in our country's internal affairs, but also trying to sow discord between our monarch and his subjects. What is your intention?"

His words instantly resonated strongly with other ministers in the court. Then, someone immediately said, "Your Majesty, no matter what the truth is, this is our country's internal affairs after all. How can we allow other countries to interfere at will!"

"That's right, Your Majesty. Obviously, the envoy from Shangxie has crossed the border. They must have bad intentions towards our Beicang Country."

"The envoys from Shangxie Country should be expelled from our Beicang Country immediately!"

"Yes, expel them from the Northern Cang Nation!"

"Expel them from the Northern Cang Nation!"

"Expel them from the Beicang Kingdom!" For a moment, the people in the court were outraged, and indignant shouts rose one after another.

Before the emperor could speak, Bei Mingyu clapped his hands and said loudly: "Great, that's great! Is this what we call hospitality in the Beicang Kingdom? A guest came to your home, your child made a mistake, and the guest just said a few words to him, and you want to drive him away?"

For a moment, the court fell silent.

Bei Mingyu then continued, "What if this guest is your child's home visiting teacher? If he just criticized your child a few times, would you order him to leave? Before we talk and do anything, shouldn't we first find out the other party's identity and his true intentions?"

"Shangxie country sent an envoy to discuss mine-related matters with our country. If Shangxie country has ill intentions, then we can detain them or even kill them directly. Could it be that they came here on purpose to die?"

"Perhaps some people will feel that what I just said is unfair. Then, let Lord Jiang Yuxuan, who has visited Shangxie Country twice, express his opinion."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yuxuan, who was also shocked by the words of the prince. You know, the prince rarely spoke in the court, and every time he spoke, his tone was so harsh that it made people feel scared. However, today he was so abnormal that it really made people feel chilled.

Jiang Yuxuan had no choice but to stand up and respond, "Your Majesty is right. I have been sent to Shangxie twice and have witnessed with my own eyes that the country is investing all its efforts in production and construction. Take the building materials needed for the recent construction of schools in our country, such as bricks, cement and glass, all of which were purchased from Shangxie. The development of production and construction is naturally inseparable from the support of raw materials. In my opinion, they came here this time with a sincere heart to seek cooperation with our country."

"Master Jiang, have you forgotten? When you were on your first diplomatic mission, you were ignored by Shangxie Country and left alone for several days. Besides, we have already paid the corresponding money when purchasing materials. This is a fair transaction and a win-win situation for both parties. Moreover, we have never interfered in their internal affairs."

Jiang Yuxuan got angry when he heard this. His face darkened and his eyes flashed with anger. "They left me alone for a few days, but didn't we want to attack them at that time..." His voice was filled with indignation and unwillingness.

However, at this moment, King Beicang suddenly started coughing, making a series of "cough cough cough, cough cough cough..." sounds.

Jiang Yuxuan understood that King Beicang's coughing was intentional to interrupt his inappropriate words just now, so he stood respectfully without saying a word.

When the court was quiet, King Bei Cang said, "My dear ministers, please be patient and listen to what the envoys from Shangxie have to say. If you find out that these people have evil intentions, I firmly believe that our prince will not let them off easily and will make sure they can't leave!" After that, King Bei Cang turned to look at Bei Mingyu and asked majestically, "Prince, do you agree or not?"

King Bei Cang was a little unhappy about Bei Mingyu interrupting the conversation between Wen Lanyue and Lord Wu Mulang. In his opinion, many times, the truth becomes clearer the more you argue, so if they want to argue, just let them argue. Anyway, this is often the case when the ministers report to the court. So today, he felt that his younger brother was too impatient.

The two brothers grew up together from the same father and mother, and have a deep emotional bond with each other. They were trained with a clear division of labor during their growth, so they have a very high level of tacit understanding with each other. At this time, Bei Mingyu said without hesitation: "Of course, as long as I am here, the Beicang Kingdom will be safe."

King Bei Cang smiled slightly, expressing his satisfaction, and continued: "In this case, everyone can rest assured. Envoy Wen, please continue your speech..."

Wen Lanyue took over the conversation and said in a serious tone: "Regarding mining, since it is an underground operation, some mining accidents are inevitable. Normally, the two parties negotiate and pay a pension, which is also a common solution. However, the question is why the people are being monitored? Why is the entire town blocked? What's even more strange is that the people in the town can only enter but not leave? These must be reasonably explained!" Her eyes were sharp, as if she wanted to penetrate the heart of the Ebony Wolf Lord and find the truth.
