Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 150

"Who are you?" The captain of the guards asked hurriedly when he saw the arrogant Qingfeng.

"Tell your king that this is the first day." Qingfeng said, then proudly raised the bow and arrow in his hand and walked away.

I thought to myself, the things given by the princess are good!

That gunpowder is pretty powerful.

What he used just now was a small amount.

"What first day?" Everyone was very confused.

Could it be that the king has offended someone?

"Captain of the Guards, what should we do now?" A soldier soon came forward to ask.

"Report this situation, and someone will have to repair this wall." The captain of the guards said with a frown.

What I was thinking was what did that person mean when he said this was the first day?

Could there be a second day? A third day?

If they come and blow down one of their walls every day.

Then will they still have a peaceful life?

Thinking of this, the captain of the guards was very frightened.

He didn't know who that person was.

"Hurry up and send someone to see where that person went." The captain of the guards said with some concern.

"The captain of the guards went to the Chu Yuan Kingdom, and we can't get through." Another soldier just saw Qingfeng, and the direction he went was the direction of Chu Yuan Kingdom.

"What Chu Yuan Kingdom?" The captain of the guards didn't know when Chu Yuan Kingdom had such powerful weapons.

Nanyue Palace

Nan Fengrui specially wrote a letter and had it sent to Xijing State.

He was thinking about the alliance between the two countries and was determined to get Xijing Kingdom to lend him a helping hand to deal with Chuyuan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened, something bad has happened." At this time, a guard rushed into the imperial study anxiously.

"I'm fine, why are you shouting?" Nan Fengrui said unhappily.

"Your Majesty, something has happened. I don't know what Chu Yuanguo used today, but with one arrow shot, he knocked down a city wall of our Nanyue Kingdom." The guard said quickly.

"What nonsense! How could there be such a thing?" Nan Fengrui was unwilling to believe that Chu Yuanguo would have such a powerful thing.

After all, there is a powerful cannon in the Xijing State.

Now the Chu Yuan Kingdom also has powerful weapons?

How will the Nanyue Kingdom survive in the future?

"Your Majesty, this is true." The guard was also anxious, but why didn't the emperor believe him?

"You said there was something tied to his bow and arrow?" Nan Fengrui fell into deep thought, thinking that the Xijing Kingdom had cannons, but they had never seen the power of the cannons.

But what is this new weapon of Chu Yuan State? It can actually blow up the wall of their Nanyue State?

Nan Fengrui stood up and paced back and forth in the imperial study, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with anxiety and confusion.

"Call all the ministers immediately to discuss countermeasures!" Nan Fengrui ordered hurriedly.

In the court, ministers were discussing the matter. Some advocated seeking peace, while others proposed strengthening armaments.

However, Nan Fengrui's gaze fell on a silent old man.

"Lord Li, what do you think about this?" Nan Fengrui asked by name.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, I believe that the most urgent task now is to send spies into the Chu Yuan Kingdom to find out exactly what weapons they are using. Only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."

Nan Fengrui nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "Let's do as Li Aiqing said. This matter is your responsibility. Make sure to investigate it as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, I believe that Chu Yuan State's actions this time are all due to the trouble caused by the Third Princess in Chu Yuan State. Perhaps, what Chu Yuan State wants is our Nanyue State's attitude towards this matter." At this time, the Prime Minister of Nanyue State, Zhou Zhi, stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I agree. Although we also need to find out what new weapons the Chu Yuan Kingdom has acquired, the most urgent task is to deal with the trouble on the city wall first. Otherwise, if they come to make trouble every day, it will not be a solution." Taifu Qu Wenlin also said quickly.

"Hmph, no wonder Chu Yuanguo dared to ask for such a high price this time, demanding one million taels of silver!" Nan Fengrui slammed the table angrily.

Nan Fengrui pondered for a moment and said, "Then, according to your two nobles, how should we deal with this?"

Zhou Zhi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe we should send an envoy to Chu Yuan to express our willingness to compensate for certain losses, but in return, Chu Yuan must cease its attacks and be informed of the true nature of its new weapon."

Qu Wenlin echoed, "At the same time, our country should strengthen its defenses to prevent the Chu Yuan Kingdom from attacking again."

Nan Fengrui nodded and said, "Very good. Lord Zhou, please select a suitable envoy to negotiate."

"Your Majesty, I think that the Chu Yuan Kingdom was inconspicuous before. Although this attack seems to be fierce, I think it may just be a show. If this thing can be produced in large quantities, why did the Chu Yuan Kingdom give us three days? In my opinion, the Chu Yuan Kingdom may not have any other powerful postures in the future." At this time, the Minister of Rites Wu Jinshu stood up and said.

Nan Fengrui looked at Wu Jinshu and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Wu Jinshu replied, "Your Majesty, if Chu Yuan truly possessed such powerful weapons, they could have simply attacked our country. Why bother proposing peace? Perhaps they are attempting to test our strength."

Nan Fengrui nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Zhou Zhi, standing by, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, the Minister is mistaken. The Chu Yuan Kingdom's actions must have deeper meaning, and we must not underestimate the enemy. We must be fully prepared to deal with any possible changes."

"Your Majesty, I think that the one million taels of silver that Chu Yuan State is asking for is really too much..." The Minister of Revenue Wu Siyu also quickly stood up and said.

Although their Nanyue Kingdom is not poor, one million taels of silver is still a lot of money.

"If we don't give the money, what should we do if the Chu Yuan Kingdom really invades our city walls again?" Zhou Zhi said disapprovingly.

"But, Lord Zhou, what if the Chu Yuan Kingdom doesn't take action? Do we not have to pay the one million taels of silver?" Wu Siyu said with a glimmer of hope.

"Where is the adult who went to Chu Yuan Kingdom?" Qu Wenlin looked around and asked when he didn't see the adult.

After all, if one knows both oneself and the enemy, shouldn’t the adult know better?

"I took sick leave!" Nan Fengrui said somewhat unhappily.

I originally thought it was just a simple matter, but I didn't expect there would be so much controversy.

Nan Fengrui was a little annoyed. If he left it alone, he was actually more afraid that they would attack the Nanyue Kingdom.

At this time, all the ministers were silent, not knowing how much truth there was in the adult's sick leave.

Is he really sick, or is he deliberately not attending court?

"Your Majesty, didn't the Chu Yuan Kingdom say that it gave us three days? I think that we have the silver on hand, and General Du should also strengthen the border guards. Let's wait and see. If there is no further news from the Chu Yuan Kingdom, we don't have to worry." Zhou Zhi thought about it, and finally decided to use a gentler approach to deal with the matter.

However, thinking about one million taels, I feel a little painful.
