With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Datong Dynasty, capital.

In the magnificent palace, Liu An sat upright.

Looking at Liu Wen, the envoy from Beixiang State in front of him, he was full of vigilance.

This Liu Wen was an official in the Datong Dynasty.

Later, he was dismissed from his post and investigated for corruption and bribery, and fled to Beixiang State.

Now, he comes here on behalf of Beixiang Kingdom, what good can come of it?

"Envoy Wen has come a long way. I am sorry for not welcoming you and I am disrespectful!"

Liu An bowed with a forced smile.

Liu Wen laughed and said,

"Mr. Liu, I'm here to congratulate you on behalf of the king."

"Oh? Congratulations on what?"

Liu An narrowed his eyes.

"Of course, congratulations to Mr. Liu for taking control of the Datong Dynasty!"

Liu Wen said sarcastically.

Liu An's face changed. This Liu Wen is really rude!

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a forced smile:

"Lord Wen, you're joking. I'm just temporarily acting as the governor."

"Once His Majesty recovers, the government will naturally be returned to him."

"Haha, Mr. Liu, stop pretending. Everyone knows it."

Liu Wen sneered.

"Who do you think you can fool with your little tricks?"

"Do you really think you can control Datong?"

Liu An's face was gloomy. This Liu Wen was really arrogant!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said:

"Sir Wen, what brings you here this time?"

Liu Wen did not beat around the bush and said directly:

"Mr. Liu, I'm here this time for four things."

"Which four?"

Liu An's heart tightened and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"First, release Princess Mingyue."

"If the princess loses even a single hair, Beixiang Kingdom and Datong will inevitably fight to the death."

Liu Wen said word by word.

Liu An was stunned. Princess Mingyue?

Then wasn't it snatched away by Lu Yan's people a long time ago?

How could it be in my hands?

He looked at the ministers behind him in confusion, but found that they also looked confused.

"Second, release Mu Qing, the Great General of Beixiang State."

Liu Wen continued.

Liu An was shocked. Who is this Mu Qing?

General of Beixiang State?

Why is it involving me again?

Release what? Release air?

"Third, apologize."

Liu Wen's tone became even tougher.

"Fourth, dismiss Lu Yan, the prefect of Shannan Prefecture, and send him to Beixiang State for punishment!"

Liu An and his accomplices were dumbfounded.

What...what is going on?

Is this Beixiang Kingdom here to make fun of us?

Liu An took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, and said with a forced smile:

"Master Wen, these four conditions of yours are truly unheard of."

"Our Datong Dynasty has always been peace-loving and never takes the initiative to provoke trouble."

"I really can't accept your barrage of accusations."

He paused, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes:

"First of all, regarding Princess Mingyue, why did she come to our Datong instead of staying in her own country?"

"Could it be that we, Datong, sent people to kidnap him?

She ran away on her own, and has nothing to do with our Datong!

Besides, your Jianmen Pass is said to be impregnable and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

How come it was taken by our Datong?

If I really had that ability, why would I, Liu An, still be sitting here talking nonsense with you?

I would have led my troops to your Beixiang capital long ago and given your king a beating that left him with a swollen butt!"

Liu Wen's face darkened. He didn't expect Liu An to be so sharp-tongued.

He suppressed his anger and said:

"Prime Minister Liu, you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth."

"Princess Mingyue was last seen in Datong before she disappeared. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?

As for Jianmen Pass, humph, if it weren't for you Datong's trickery, how could it have been easily breached?"

Liu An slammed his hand on the table and said angrily:

"Bullshit!

We at Datong have always been open and honest, and never engage in any conspiracies or tricks!

The fact that Jianmen Pass was breached only proves your own incompetence!"

"that is!"

Liu An's accomplices immediately responded.

"This Beixiang Kingdom is simply being unreasonable!"

"Your own princess is lost, your own country is conquered, and yet you put the blame on us, Datong. How absurd!"

Another accomplice followed suit:

"That's right! The ruler of Datong has just been replaced, and it's time to rebuild everything."

"How can I have the time to attack your Beixiang Kingdom?

Isn't this just being bored and having nothing to do? "

Liu Wen's face turned blue after being scolded by this group of people.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said:

"Prime Minister Liu, General Mu Qing, he is a pillar of our Beixiang State."

"Now his whereabouts are unknown, you Datong must give us an explanation!"

Liu An sneered, glanced at Liu Wen, and said:

"Master Wen, you are lying with your eyes open.

I've never even heard of your General Mu Qing.

He disappeared, how come he came back to our Datong?

Could it be possible that our Datong could eat him alive?

Do you people from Beixiang Kingdom all like to fabricate facts out of thin air?

Could it be that your Beixiang Kingdom, the entire nation, is filled with useless people who only know how to talk? "

Liu Wen was completely enraged by these words. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Liu An and roared:

"Liu An! Don't lie! We in Beixiang Kingdom are not to be bullied!

I will report your words today to our king truthfully.

When the time comes and we meet in battle, don't blame us for being rude!"

Liu An also stood up and looked at Liu Wen sharply.

The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc:

"Sir Wen, please go back and report. If I, Liu An, frown, I will lose!

I want to see what you Beixiang Kingdom can do to our Datong!

Do you really think that we, Datong, are soft persimmons that can be squeezed at will?

If a real fight breaks out, it's still unclear who will win!"

Liu Wen's face turned pale, as if he had eaten a dead fly and he said with gritted teeth:

"It seems that you are determined to fight to the end? Liu An, do you really think you can defeat us?

Since you have no intention of negotiating, then let’s go to war! I, Beixiang State, will fight you to the end! "

The accomplices behind Liu An were originally showing off their power.

When they heard the word "war", they all wilted like eggplants hit by frost.

"Mr. Liu, we can't start a war!"

An official had a sad face and his voice was trembling.

"Yes, if we start a war now, it will be completely over!"

Another official quickly echoed, his voice shaking like a sieve.

"We are already in a state of panic, and if we add Beixiang Kingdom, it will only make us lose our lives!"

Veins bulged on Liu An's forehead as he suppressed his anger.

Forcing himself to sit down, he said with a forced smile:

"Beixiang State is indeed powerful, but Datong is not made of clay and can be manipulated by anyone!"

"What Lord Liu Wen said is pure bullshit!"

"I've never heard of it in the capital!"
