finally.

The lion chose the beastman with whom he had a better relationship and brought him out of the cage.

The empress just took a look and smiled meaningfully.

"You are quite picky. This lion used to be my male favorite."

Even when she was talking about her male lover, there was no emotion in her eyes. Instead, it was very cold.

Song Xingyue was not curious about these things.

Because sometimes, knowing more is not good for you.

"Empress. Now that the bet has been settled, can we talk about something else?"

This time.

It was Song Xingyue's turn to take the initiative.

"Since we're here, we can't come here for nothing. Let's exchange some supplies."

"Exchange of supplies?"

The empress couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

"What do you think your Red South Country has that our Seven Warriors Country doesn't have?"

Her words were particularly arrogant.

Obviously.

She thought that their Seven Samurai Kingdom was almost invincible.

Have all the resources.

"Salt. Do you have any?"

Song Xingyue didn't say refined salt, but salt.

After all, refined salt is her trump card. She can't show it.

The empress's expression changed rapidly. Then she spoke slowly.

"You mean, you have salt in the Red South?"

"Yes."

Song Xingyue smiled and watched the empress speak again.

"Although our Red South Country is indeed not as good as the Seven Warlords in terms of construction. It will even take more than ten years to catch up with your progress. But..."

As she spoke this, her smile gradually deepened.

"The supplies in our Red South Country are relatively more complete."

"For example?"

The empress couldn't help but feel curious.

"Is there anything else besides salt?"

"Of course."

Song Xingyue thought about it and then smiled.

"When the Empress visits Red South Country as a guest, you will know."

She deliberately didn't tell the empress what it was.

Deliberately keeping her in suspense.

This is the Seven Samurai Kingdom after all.

If I confess everything, it will be of no value to the empress.

People.

Once it has no value.

There is a high possibility that he will be assassinated directly.

Especially this kind of empress who hides a knife behind her smiling face.

It is better to be cautious.

The empress was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

"It's interesting. It's interesting."

She just said these two sentences and then nothing else.

Then he turned around and rode his mount to lead the way.

Song Xingyue looked at the two scarred lions beside her and gave instructions to Mu Yi who was standing beside her.

"We will be setting off for Red South Country tomorrow. You can take them both to heal their wounds first."

"it is good."

Mu Yi's expression was still very unhappy at this moment, obviously because the empress did not let her take her good friend away before.

She left with the two lions somewhat absentmindedly.

Song Xingyue immediately followed the empress and continued her negotiations.

*

Later in the evening.

The empress specially held a farewell party in the banquet hall.

But this time the performers were not the lion clan, but the snake clan.

Song Xingyue had thought that the empress would have a bad temper, but she never expected that such a flaw of hers would be punished.

This was clearly because he had chosen the snake tribe to enter the Colosseum for him.

It just so happened that the empress was unable to recruit the snake clan, so she deliberately embarrassed Changqing.

really.

Changqing's face looked extremely ugly, and his hands seemed to be about to crush the wine glass.

This was undoubtedly a slap in his face and also a warning to him.

It was as if they were saying that even if he didn't join the Seven Warriors, they would still have a way to make the Snake Tribe follow them.

after all.

There are still snakes who are willing to stay here.

Not all snakes will follow Changqing.

"How about it. Star and Moon."

The empress picked up the wine glass and looked at Song Xingyue with a smile.

"Are snakes better, or are lions better?"

"all good."

As a guest, how could Song Xingyue say anything offensive?

"I have to say that the Empress is indeed capable of making them all submit to you. This is indeed where I am inferior."

"Who says we are advanced humans?"

The empress waved towards one of the snakes.

After the other person came over, he gestured for him to kneel on the ground and put his foot directly on it.

"If humans can't conquer these orcs, then there's no point in coming here, right?"

As she spoke, she stuffed a grape into the orc's mouth.

"Is it sweet?"

"The food given by the Empress is the most delicious."

The snake tribe quickly spoke in a flattering manner, and their words were full of courtesy.

"See? Being nice to them is sometimes worse than taming them."

The empress proudly showed her achievements to Song Xingyue.

"Your use of reason to convince people is only to convince people, not animals."

The wolf beside felt very uncomfortable when he heard such words.

Even though the snake tribe is not the same race as them.

But it wasn't very comfortable to see the orcs being trampled underfoot like this.

"Maybe you're right, but I can't do it like you."

Song Xingyue smiled silently and politely declined.

"You are the empress, and I am the leader. There is a world of difference between us."

Lang'er didn't understand why Xingyue would say such things in front of the empress.

It's obvious that their statuses should be equal, so why do you have to say such things as if one is inferior to the other?

"Since you know there is such a huge difference, why don't you, the Red South Nation, just submit to our Seven Martial Nations?"

The empress went around in circles for two days and finally got straight to the point.

"What did you tell me before about exchanging supplies? If your Red South Country directly submits to our Seven Martial Countries, what else do you need to exchange? All the supplies can be used at will."

"is it possible?"

Song Xingyue raised her eyes and looked at the empress with a smile.

"Will the supplies really be freely available at that time? Or will the Seven Warriors only regard the Red South Kingdom as a second resource storage point?"

The empress's smile disappeared in an instant. She kicked the orc under her feet, then waved her hand, dragged the orc away and beheaded him.

"What I mean is that you, the Red South Nation, want to go against the Seven Warriors Nation, right?"

"It's not that we are against each other, but there may be a conflict of interest."

Song Xingyue picked up the wine glass and took a sip leisurely.

"Half of the orc world now belongs to the Seven Warlords. If the empress wants the other half, then we might become enemies."

The other orcs present were so frightened by such words that they dared not even breathe.

basically.

After seeing the methods of the empress, the beastmen who came to the Seven Warriors Kingdom dared not disobey her.

But now.

The leader of the Red South Country dared to say this in public, which is really... scary.

"Empress. I have never thought of going against you, or killing each other, but..."

She changed the subject and her smile became more meaningful.

"If the Seven Warriors are determined to fight against the Red South Kingdom, then I don't mind going to war with you as a pastime when I'm bored."
