Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 46

All the officials present looked at Qin Yu in shock, and were all impressed by Qin Yu's talent!

The timeless quatrains that they could not compose in their entire lives could be composed by Qin Yu at will. At this moment, Qin Yu was no longer the crown prince of Daliang, but the number one scholar of Daliang, the benchmark for all scholars in the world!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple forever!

puff!

Hu Yanqing's face turned ashen, and he didn't say a word for a long time. He spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and staggered backward. If he hadn't been supported by the Beiliang officials, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Haha! Hu Yanqing, even if you vomit blood, it's useless. Beiliang lost! Daliang won!"

Chen Zhong said with a big laugh.

"The literary competition is over. Today's banquet is to welcome the Northern Liang envoys. From now on, everyone, enjoy the singing and dancing!"

Emperor Liang said coldly.

In order to seize Hutou Pass in Daliang, Hu Yanqing used some despicable means, which made the Emperor of Liang very disgusted and despised Hu Yanqing even more.

Hu Yanqing shook off the officials around him, bowed deeply to Emperor Liang, and said in a deep voice, "Emperor Liang! I, Beiliang, lost the literary duel today! I am also tired and want to go back to rest. I will return to Beiliang soon. Farewell!"

After saying that, Hu Yanqing turned around and was about to leave.

"Haha! Hu Yanqing! You want to leave after losing? Have you forgotten our bet?"

Qin Yu looked at Hu Yanqing with a sneer.

"You! What do you mean? When two countries are at war, envoys are not killed. This is an unwritten rule among nations. Do you really want to imprison us here?"

Hu Yanqing's face looked extremely ugly.

Since his plan to gain control of Hutou Pass in Daliang through gambling failed, he prepared to return to Beiliang and launch a surprise attack on Hutou Pass!

As long as Hutou Pass is captured, it would be wishful thinking for Daliang to want Beiliang's war horses and Beka Lake!

"Your Majesty! When two countries are at war, it is indeed an unwritten rule among nations not to execute envoys. Although His Royal Highness has won the bet, we in Daliang cannot gamble on the momentary anger and detain the Northern Liang Imperial Preceptor in Daliang. Otherwise, we will be condemned by the world!"

Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty! We second the motion!"

The officials said one after another.

Although these people also gnashed their teeth at Beiliang's shamelessness, the unwritten rules between the nations still had to be observed. If Daliang violated this rule, it would be alienated by the surrounding nations. Not only would Daliang have more enemies, but its economy would also suffer a huge blow.

"Haha! What a bunch of pedantic people! That old scoundrel Hu Yanqing repeatedly backtracked during the hunting competition, and even resorted to extreme tactics in the literary duel. Just imagine, would a man like that keep his promise?"

"If we let them return to Beiliang so easily, Daliang will never get the 100,000 war horses and Lake Bekaa! Beiliang will immediately go to war with Daliang!"

"So, we must not let this old man leave until Beiliang delivers 100,000 war horses and Lake Bekaa to Daliang as agreed in the bet!"

"If Beiliang and Daliang go to war, it will be Beiliang that first breaks the rules between the nations. Therefore, killing Hu Yanqing as a sacrifice is only natural!"

Qin Yu said with a sneer, and directly scolded the officials present as pedantic people.

Suddenly, all the officials looked at Qin Yu angrily. In their eyes, Qin Yu's behavior would only intensify the conflict between Daliang and Beiliang.

Once the war breaks out, the people will suffer!

They never thought that Daliang's constant concessions would lead to more wars!

"Your Majesty! I believe that His Royal Highness is right. Hu Yanqing must not be allowed to leave until Beiliang fulfills its promise!"

Chen Zhong was hesitant at first, but after hearing what Qin Yu said, he thought that Qin Yu was right!

At the same time, he was a pro-war faction and had long been dissatisfied with Daliang's attitude of concession on the Beiliang issue. If Hu Yanqing could be killed before the war, it would be beneficial to Daliang!

"Your Majesty! We also think that His Royal Highness is right!"

Some generals who advocated war spoke out and expressed their support for Qin Yu.

"Hu Yanqing! If you're willing to gamble, you must accept defeat. Until Beiliang delivers 100,000 war horses and Lake Bekaa to Daliang, you will temporarily remain in Daliang. In the meantime, I will send a thousand imperial guards to protect your safety!"

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.

"Emperor Liang! By doing this, aren't you afraid of retaliation from our 200,000 Beiliang cavalry?"

Hu Yanqing looked at Emperor Liang angrily.

"I give you seven days. If Beiliang doesn't deliver 100,000 war horses and Lake Bekaa to Daliang, I will immediately execute the Beiliang envoys and mobilize the entire nation to declare war on Beiliang!"

Emperor Liang looked at Hu Yanqing coldly, with dragon power emanating from his entire body.

The generals all looked angry and stared at Hu Yanqing fiercely!

At this moment, Huyan Qing's face was extremely pale. He didn't expect that his plan to take over Daliang without any soldiers would fail at the hands of Qin Yu!

What he didn't expect was that his actions would lead to unity among the people of Daliang!

Beiliang has only a 60% chance of winning against a united Daliang at best. If he is not there, the chance will be less than 50%!

"Take it down!"

Emperor Liang said in a cold voice, and with a wave of his hand, a team of imperial guards appeared, ready to take Hu Yanqing and others away.
