Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

The leading envoy waved his hands repeatedly, saying awkwardly, "Your Highness, please calm down! This is a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding. Our Emperor is not playing a trick on your country. To show our sincerity, our Nan Jing army has begun to withdraw today."

"As for the Second Prince, he has now returned safely to Cangwu City. The Emperor sent that letter to retrieve the Second Prince. Now that the Second Prince has returned, there is naturally no need to fight. In this way, the Emperor has not broken his promise!"

The envoy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and finally made his point. He looked at Chu Yuncang with some trepidation. Would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accept such an explanation?

Of course Chu Yuncang didn’t accept it!

He sneered, "In order to attack my Dongling, you actually made up such a lame excuse that the prince was kidnapped. Do you really think that my Dongling can be slaughtered at will?"

With such a heavy burden on his shoulders, the envoy from Nan Jing immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Dongling's economy is slightly inferior to Nanjing's, its combat power should not be underestimated, not to mention the god of war Jiang Zhong who is feared by all countries. It is said that even the brave and warlike people of Linyuan, no matter how powerful the warriors are, will immediately become timid when they hear Jiang Zhong's name.

The reason why Nan Jing sent that letter was, on the one hand, because the emperor was eager to save his son, and on the other hand, Lin Yuan had been eyeing Dongling in the northwest. If Jiang Zhong left the northwest, Lin Yuan would definitely take action. Nan Jing was sure that Dongling did not dare to fight on two fronts, so he wanted to use that letter to force Dongling and rescue the second prince as soon as possible.

If Nanjing really goes to war with Dongling, not only will it not gain any benefit, but both sides may suffer losses in the end, allowing other countries to benefit. Why would Nanjing take the initiative to attack Dongling?

He hurriedly explained, "It's not an excuse. Our Second Prince was indeed kidnapped in broad daylight. Many people witnessed it. Our Emperor was desperate to save his son, so he sent that letter to your country."

He secretly glanced at Chu Yuncang's gloomy handsome face, and said with a guilty conscience, "The Second Prince said that he ran into Your Highness the Crown Prince in Jiazhou. Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise and brave, and you are chivalrous and courageous. You saw injustice and came to the aid of the weak. With your help, the Second Prince was able to eliminate the villains who held him hostage and completely escape danger."

"Oh? The person I saved that day was actually the Second Prince of Nanjing!" Chu Yuncang seemed to have suddenly realized something, but he changed the subject: "Since I am the Second Prince's savior, why did Nanjing repay his kindness with hatred?"

Chu Yuncang was sure that Xiao Yan, whom he saw that night, was free to move around and was not being held hostage, and he obviously knew those black-clad killers, but why did he lie like this?

The envoy wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously and smiled an extremely unpleasant smile. "After being rescued, the Second Prince did not immediately return to Nanjing. He is extremely filial and happened to hear that Wuwang Mountain in Dongling is extremely effective and can obtain elixirs that can cure all diseases. Thinking of the Empress who has been troubled by headaches for many years, he rushed to Wuwang Mountain at dawn and night, and for a moment forgot to report his safety to the Emperor."

"The Second Prince knelt sincerely outside the gate of Hopeless Mountain for over ten days, refusing to eat or drink. His filial piety finally moved the immortals in the mountain, who begged for the elixir. He then hurried back to Cangwu City without stopping and immediately gave the elixir to the Empress. The Empress's headache was indeed largely cured."

"It's a pity that the Second Prince, having lived in the open air, was unaware of his disappearance, causing such discord between the two countries. After seeing the Empress, he immediately went to the Emperor to apologize. However, with such touching filial piety, how could the Emperor have the heart to punish him? He immediately sent us to apologize to the Crown Prince to prevent a catastrophe!"

Chu Yuncang's voice remained stern, but his tone softened slightly. "The Second Prince's filial piety is touching, but his safety depends on the people of both countries. If he causes war and devastation, he will become a sinner for all eternity!"

He was full of doubts. Xiao Yan's biological mother was Concubine Zhan. Concubine Zhan and Queen Nanjing had been fighting openly and secretly and had been at odds with each other for more than ten years. Why would Xiao Yan make up such an outrageous story about seeking medicine for Queen Nanjing?

The envoy nodded repeatedly and said thankfully, "Yes! Fortunately, the Second Prince returned in time and no disaster occurred."

Seeing that everything had been explained clearly, the envoy pointed to the jewels and the dancers and said with a smile, "The misunderstanding is now resolved. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, please accept these gifts of apology from our Emperor!"

Chu Yuncang shook his head lightly and said calmly: "If Emperor Nan Jing is sincere in apologizing, he should at least show some sincerity! Using jewels and women to fool me, do you look down on me?"

The envoy's heart, which had just settled down, suddenly became tense again. This gentleman was really difficult to please. It looked like he was going to ask for too much. He asked anxiously, "Excuse me, Your Highness, what do you want?"

Chu Yuncang pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth. "Don't worry, it's not something valuable. I heard that Nanjing recently developed a long halberd that is extremely sharp. I am very interested. If Emperor Nanjing sincerely wants to apologize, please give me some to play with!"

When the Dongling soldiers in the tent heard about the new weapons, their eyes lit up and they all looked at the Nanjing envoy expectantly.

Envoy Nan Jing wanted to find a pillar to bang his head against. The things this gentleman wanted were indeed not as valuable as these boxes of jewels, but they were weapons, and they concerned the foundation of the country, so he really had no say in the matter!

The envoy hurriedly declined, saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has requested this, but I cannot make the decision on my own. I will return to Nanjing immediately and ask the Emperor to make the final decision."

Chu Yuncang's voice turned cold: "An envoy of a country represents the monarch, and now you are shirking your responsibility and unable to make the decision. It seems that Nan Jing has no sincerity in apologizing."

He paused and said quietly, "General Jiang, the God of War of Dongling, has led his army to the southwest to provide support. He has already arrived in Yungui City and will soon reach Jiazhou. When that happens, Dongling will not be afraid of a battle with Nanjing!"

Those Nan Jing envoys were frozen in place, and Jiang Zhong had arrived to help? Why hadn't Nan Jing received the news? And Dong Ling was going to war over a few weapons? Absurd!

Recalling the Emperor Nanjing's instructions before their departure, they must reach a settlement with Dongling, the leading envoy gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to accept your terms. Please have someone draft a document. Nanjing is willing to conclude a peace treaty, maintain good neighborly relations with Dongling, and not invade each other for twenty years."

As for twenty years later, Jiang Zhong will be old by then, and it is unknown whether Nan Jing can cultivate a "Jiang Zhong" in these twenty years!

Chu Yuncang nodded slightly and sent Cai Zhen and Xie Tingyu to jointly draft an alliance with the Nanjing envoy.

The Nan Jing envoy asked cautiously, "Your Highness, in this case, may General Jiang lead his troops back?"

Chu Yuncang's lips curled slightly. "When General Jiang returns depends on Nanjing. If Nanjing is only willing to compensate Dongling with 100 long spears, General Jiang will definitely continue to advance and stay in the southwest for a while. If the compensation is 500 spears, General Jiang will stay in Yungui City and rest for a few months. If the compensation is 800 spears, General Jiang will definitely go to the northwest without hesitation."

The envoy's eyes twitched, and he gave an awkward yet polite smile. Why did the Crown Prince of Dongling speak like a profiteer?

In the end, the two countries happily concluded an alliance, and Nan Jing presented Dongling with 800 long spears, which were to be delivered to Dongling within a month.

Both parties quickly signed, feeling they had made a profit. Dong Ling avoided a war and obtained advanced weapons from Nan Jing. Nan Jing, on the other hand, felt that with a few weapons, he had reached a settlement with Dong Ling and sent Jiang Zhong, the plague god, away. It was worth it!

The envoy from Nanjing put away the treaty and saw the smiling people of Dongling. For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy. When he returned to Nanjing, would the emperor be satisfied with the result?

But this crappy job is really not easy to do, so it is better to slip away as soon as possible. Prince Dongling is not an easy person to deal with, what if he does something weird again!

The leading envoy quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, we will take our leave now!" Then he turned and left.

Chu Yuncang stopped him and pointed at the boxes and dancers with some disdain: "Take all of these away!"

After the envoy from Nanjing left, Chu Yuncang sat alone in the tent for a long time. This war had been hyped up for so long, but ended in this way when it was about to break out.

It's like a bow and arrow, being pulled continuously with accumulated force. When it is pulled to the limit, the force is suddenly released, and the arrow that should have flown out falls to the ground.

He felt as if there was a feeling of depression in his chest and felt a little uncomfortable, so he stood up and walked out of the tent slowly.

The sky, which had been gloomy for several days, suddenly cleared up, and the setting sun came out, casting its brilliant rays of light on the earth.

The soldiers coming and going stopped, turned their heads to look in the direction of the sun, and burst into cheers.

Looking at the smiling faces of the soldiers, Chu Yuncang let out a long sigh of relief. No soldiers died on the battlefield, and no civilians were displaced. This was the best outcome...
