We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

The delegation's flag fluttered in the wind, and the golden dragon pattern shone brightly in the sun, announcing that King Feng of Daqing was behind this team.

The garrison commander who discovered the delegation did not dare to be negligent. He sent troops to welcome the delegation into the city and at the same time sent people to Liujing to report to the King of Goryeo.

When the King of Goryeo learned that the delegation had entered the country, he became even more frightened.

With the previous experience of Khitan and the fact that the Goryeo army was defeated by Li Che's army years ago, he was well aware of the strength of Feng State.

This King Feng is not an easy person to deal with. Not only is he domineering, but the key is that he is really powerful.

What's more, Goryeo was still in civil strife at that time, and he could only command half of the country's troops.

So he immediately ordered the dispatch of elite troops to the border to welcome them and escort the delegation all the way to the capital.

The Goryeo army lined up in neat rows, their armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

In Qin Jing's opinion, this group of Goryeo soldiers can be considered elite soldiers, barely reaching the level of new recruits who have just come out of the Chaoyang Army.

Obviously, in order to please him, the King of Goryeo sent his most elite soldiers.

They stood on both sides, clearing a wide path for the Fengguo delegation, thus demonstrating Goryeo's etiquette and respect.

Unfortunately, this move is purely like flirting with a blind man.

"Sir, we've almost finished our investigation." Zhang Fan beside him suddenly whispered, "A month ago, Goryeo's great general Park Gae-mun suddenly died. He controlled half of Goryeo's military power."

"Logically, Park Gae-mun's sudden death meant his son should have inherited military power. However, the King of Goryeo was wary of the Park family's influence and instead ordered the transfer of military power to his trusted general, Kim Si-kyung."

"The Park family was naturally unwilling. Although Park Gae-moon's eldest son was in Ryugyong, his other two sons were stationed in other cities. They immediately closed the city gates and no longer obeyed the orders of the Goryeo court."

"The two sides are still in a standoff. Although there has not been a war, the situation is tense."

Qin Jing nodded slightly and asked, "If I were to lead the Fengguo army, would it be possible for these two factions to put aside their disputes and unite against the enemy?"

Zhang Fan shook his head: "Absolutely impossible. The King of Goryeo may be willing, but the Park family will definitely not agree."

"The King of Goryeo has long been wary of the Park family, and this fear has gradually turned to hatred. If our army enters Goryeo, the Park family still has a chance of survival. However, if they surrender their military power to the King of Goryeo, they will be executed."

"Yes, I understand." Qin Jing smiled, "Just muddy the waters."

The delegation moved forward slowly under the escort of the Goryeo army.

The people along the way stopped to watch. They did not recognize the royal flag of Feng State, but looking at the gorgeous attire of the delegation members, their eyes were filled with curiosity and awe.

Finally, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the Fengguo delegation arrived at the capital of Goryeo.

Ryugyong City, which is the future Pyongyang.

The history of this city is older than that of Goryeo.

At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Jizi, a noble of the Shang Dynasty, came to Korea and established "Jizi Joseon" with Pyongyang as its capital.

Later, Wei Man, a man from Yan, fled to Joseon and replaced Jizi Joseon, establishing "Wei Man Joseon".

Afterwards, this land was conquered by the Central Plains civilization again, experienced the Goguryeo era, and finally remained the capital when the present-day Goryeo was founded.

The current Goryeo king's surname is "Li". The king ascended the throne in middle age and is already sixty-seven years old.

After all, the King of Goryeo was old and did not come out to greet him in person, but he asked civil and military officials to hold a brief welcoming ceremony outside the city gate, which was considered a very impressive move.

Qin Jing turned a blind eye to this and did not say a word to the Goryeo officials after the ceremony.

Zhang Fan was only allowed to negotiate with them and request to enter the palace immediately to meet the King of Goryeo.

The Goryeo officials were not stupid either. They naturally saw Qin Jing's disdain for them, but they were angry but dared not speak out.

He could only lead Qin Jing to the palace to meet the king.

The moment Qin Jing stepped into the Goryeo Royal Palace, he felt a little unhappy.

The palace is grand in scale, with carved beams and painted rafters, and is magnificent and golden, in no way inferior to the imperial palace in Daqing.

The furnishings in the hall were extremely luxurious, with jade, gold, and porcelain wares in full view. Even the carpets were woven with the finest silk, and felt as soft as clouds when stepped on.

What made Qin Jing frown even more was that the Goryeo King's ceremonial guard was also modeled after the emperor's standards, with flags embroidered with dragon patterns, and the guards wearing golden armor and holding long spears, looking like an emperor.

The King of Goryeo sat on a high throne, wearing a golden crown and a dragon robe.

However, as the old saying goes, even if he wears a dragon robe he doesn't look like a prince.

Seeing Qin Jing enter the hall, he nodded slightly and said in a somewhat attentive tone, "Your Excellency, the envoy of the state has come a long way. Thank you for your hard work."

The king actually spoke Xia language, and very fluently.

Qin Jing snorted coldly and did not answer. He quickly walked to stand in front of the king.

Finally, one of the generals said in frustration, "How can you, an envoy, be so rude? Why don't you bow to my king when you see him?"

Zhang Fan walked up to Qin Jing, stood side by side with him, and relayed the general's words.

Qin Jing's face showed a mocking expression as he shouted, "How can a minister of the Celestial Empire bow to the ruler of a small nation?"

Zhang Fan looked at Qin Jing in disbelief. He really didn't understand why Qin Jing wanted to irritate him so much?

But out of duty, he still translated Qin Jing's words word for word.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the court officials were in an uproar.

"What a rude envoy from Fengguo!"

"You just won a single battle, and yet you look down on our Goryeo nation like this?!"

"Why are you so proud? Emperor Huan Yang's defeat was only a dozen years ago!"

"How can a mere envoy like you bring disgrace to His Majesty's throne?"

Zhang Fan suddenly turned around and gave the last person who spoke a cold look: "What did you just say?"

His attitude suddenly became so tough that even Qin Jing beside him was surprised.

The official stammered, "I say...you are merely envoys, why are you disrespecting His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty?!" Zhang Fan shouted angrily, "The Emperor of Daqing is the common ruler of the world. Your Kingdom of Goryeo is just a vassal state. How dare you call yourself Your Majesty?"

Qin Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he saw him take a step forward, pointing at the nose of the Goryeo King and cursing:

"You, bastard, claiming to be Your Majesty, are you planning a rebellion?"

The entire hall fell silent in an instant, and the Goryeo officials dared not even breathe.

The King of Goryeo opened his eyes wide. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would be scolded by others.

Qin Jing didn't stop talking, his mouth was full of eloquence: "Do you know why I came here?"

"There was unrest in your country of Goryeo, and the refugees fleeing famine have all come to our Feng Kingdom. The people of our Feng Kingdom are kind-hearted and have used their own rations to entertain them, spending countless dollars. My prince is so kind that not only did he not ask for anything from you, but he sent me here to see if you need help."

"I never imagined that a small country like yours could be so despicable. You are so weak but you don't know how to be humble. You don't know the slightest bit of etiquette and morality!"

"You actually call yourself Your Majesty in front of us envoys?!"

The King of Goryeo quickly explained: "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Qin Jing sneered, "Do you think I'm deaf?"

"This... was a slip of the tongue. I beg your pardon," the Goryeo king said with a flattering smile. "As for your country's willingness to take in our refugees, I am deeply grateful."

"Please make a list. I will definitely double the amount you spent."

Qin Jing smiled slightly and took another step forward: "Well, that's about right."

Seeing the envoy in front of him relax, the King of Goryeo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that Qin Jing was asking for too much. How much food could a few refugees eat?

But he really didn't dare to offend Qin Jing. Goryeo was now in a critical situation. If he offended Fengguo again, the country would be destroyed soon.

Fortunately, although this envoy was domineering, he also had something to ask for, so we just gave him some more silver to send him off.

"My country is vast and rich in resources, so we don't lack anything. However, I have heard that Korean women are gentle and charming, and are particularly good in bed..."

A hint of just the right lewd smile flashed across Qin Jing's eyes.

Many Goryeo officials were so angry that their faces turned red, and the temperature in the hall rose by several degrees.

Coming to the court of Goryeo, and saying in front of all the court officials that the women of that country are promiscuous?

Any man would not be able to tolerate such an insult.

Fortunately, the King of Goryeo was very skilled in cultivating his Qi, and he managed to swallow his anger. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, Prince Feng, do you want beautiful women? That's easy. I'll prepare some right away. I just don't know how many you need."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Jing said with disdain, "My prince is a noble, how could he look down on a woman from your Goryeo?"

"On the contrary, I'm not very picky. Even though the Korean woman is very thin, she can still be used."

"As for how many? This beauty is not about quantity, but quality. I only need one."

The King of Goryeo was already beginning to lose control of his expression, but he still patiently asked, "Who does your envoy want?"

Qin Jing grinned. "I heard that your queen has skin as white as snow and a naturally charming figure. Although she is over thirty, she still has her charm."

"She's a little old, but we're not picky. Let her stay with me for a few days."

"I won't ask for it for nothing. When I return to my country, I will definitely help you speak well of me in front of King Feng."

Zhang Fan, who was standing by, felt his eyes twitch and his heart went cold.

My lord, what are you doing?

Although Goryeo was not as powerful as Daqing, it was also a regime with a population of one million.

You are insulting the King of Goryeo like this?

As expected, the King of Goryeo's face turned pale and blue, and the anger that had been accumulating for a long time finally broke out.

"No matter what, I am the ruler of a country. How dare you insult me ​​like this?!"

In a fit of rage, he even blurted out the name he usually used to refer to himself.

But the King of Goryeo didn't notice at all that Qin Jing would take a few steps forward every time he spoke.

By this time, he was already very close to the throne.

As soon as the King of Goryeo finished speaking, Qin Jing suddenly jumped up and picked up a bamboo slip from the table in front of the king.

But he nimbly flipped over the table and before the guards and courtiers around him could react, he grabbed the Goryeo King's chest with one hand and picked up a bamboo slip with the other hand and smashed it on the Goryeo King's head.

"I! I! I! Dog-footed I!"

Qin Jing's face showed excitement. He cursed loudly and smashed down hard.
