I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian
Chapter 157: Diplomatic Success, Glory and Splendor
Baona walked quickly to the side hall, followed closely by Foreign Minister Gongshan.
The map was spread out on the table, and the border line was winding like a sleeping python.
"Minister, what do you think?" Baona tapped the several flashing red dots on the map. Those were the places where the unusual movements occurred. Each red dot was like a jumping spark, burning her nerves.
Minister Gongshan's brow furrowed, his fingers stroking his beard. "I find this matter rather odd. These small tribes usually act independently and rarely unite. Their unification this time is perhaps due to someone behind the scenes."
"Incite?" Baona repeated the word, the faces of several tribal leaders flashing through her mind, and finally fixed on the cunning face of the diplomatic envoy of the Qidiao tribe.
She remembered his eyes that seemed to agree but were actually flickering in the meeting, and she had a vague answer in her heart.
A chill rose from the soles of my feet and quickly spread throughout my body.
"I am worried that this is a test of our diplomatic achievements, or even a destruction of them." Foreign Minister Gongshan's voice was low and his tone was solemn.
Baona made a quick decision, "I must go and see it myself."
"Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible! The situation at the border is complex, and this journey is far too dangerous!"
"That's why I have to go. Only by seeing it with my own eyes can I understand the real situation." Baona's tone was firm and unquestionable.
The wind from the border carried sand and dust, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
When Baona and her group arrived, it was dusk. The setting sun was as red as blood, illuminating the desolate border and adding a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
In the distance, soldiers from several small tribes were gathering together, shouting and throwing stones at the border outpost of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
The soldiers at the outpost were on high alert and the atmosphere was tense.
"What's going on?" Baona dismounted and walked quickly towards the commander of the outpost.
"Reporting to the princess, these small tribes suddenly provoked trouble for some unknown reason. Our subordinates have tried their best to restrain themselves, but they are becoming more and more excessive." The commander pointed at the scattered stones on the ground with an angry tone.
Baona's eyes were as sharp as torches as she swept across the noisy crowd opposite, sneering in her heart.
Sure enough, it was a provocation from the small tribe.
She motioned for Foreign Minister Gongsan to come forward and negotiate.
However, the small tribe's clamor grew louder and louder, and they even began to shoot arrows at the ancient Dian soldiers.
Several arrows flew past Baona's ears and hit the wooden pillar behind her, making a buzzing sound.
The soldiers around became nervous and drew their weapons, ready to fight.
Baona stood still, staring at the opposite side with a firm gaze, like a sculpture.
"Your Highness..." Foreign Minister Gongsan looked at Baona worriedly, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Baona took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Stop!" Her voice was clear and powerful, penetrating the noisy battlefield and reaching everyone's ears.
The soldiers from the small tribe opposite were stunned and looked at Baona.
Baona walked forward slowly, her eyes like lightning sweeping over the crowd, finally stopping on a burly man dressed in gorgeous clothes.
"Which tribe are you the leader of?"
The man raised his head arrogantly, a sneer on his face, "I am..."
Before he could finish his words, a soldier suddenly pointed in the distance and exclaimed, "Look! What is that?"
Everyone looked in the direction his finger pointed, and saw a group of people appear on the distant horizon, with flags waving, marching towards them in a mighty procession...
The man was about to introduce himself when he was interrupted by a scene that suddenly appeared in the distance.
Dust was flying, iron hooves were roaring, and flags embroidered with the totem of ancient Dian were fluttering in the wind, like burning flames, instantly igniting everyone's attention.
Leading the way was a chariot decorated with gold and jade, and on the chariot stood a woman wearing golden armor.
She wore a phoenix crown that symbolized royal power, and her brows were filled with inviolable majesty. She was the Queen of Ancient Dian.
The arrival of the Queen stunned everyone.
The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the rustling sound of flags in the wind.
The queen slowly stepped down from the chariot, each step carrying an awe-inspiring aura. She walked to Baona's side, like a warm barrier, protecting her behind her.
"Who dares to provoke us on the border of ancient Dian?" The Queen's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
Her sharp eyes swept across the leaders of the small tribes, and no one dared to look at her.
Baona felt the Queen's protection, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She took a deep breath, walked forward, and spoke in a strong and powerful tone.
"Your Majesty, the unrest among these small tribes is not accidental. I suspect someone is behind this, fanning the flames and attempting to undermine the peace agreements we have with the tribes."
She pointed at a pale man in the crowd, who was the diplomatic envoy of the Qidiao tribe.
"This man, the envoy of the Qidiao tribe, has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the peace agreement at meetings. I have reason to suspect that today's unrest was instigated by him."
The Qi Diao envoy's face suddenly changed and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He tried his best to argue, but was refuted by Baona one by one.
Bao Na was well prepared and presented the Queen with evidence that the Qi Diao envoy was inciting the small tribe to cause trouble. The evidence was conclusive and he had no room for excuses.
"Emissary Qi Diao, do you have anything else to say?" The Queen stared at the envoy Qi Diao with a sharp gaze, her voice as cold as ice.
The Qi Diao envoy finally couldn't bear the pressure from the Queen. He fell to his knees with a thud, his face pale, and he dared not say another word.
The Queen snorted coldly, "How dare a mere envoy be so audacious as to disrupt the peace of ancient Dian? I order you to be taken back to ancient Dian to await your punishment! Anyone who dares to do this again will not be forgiven!"
The leaders of the tribes were shocked by the queen's majesty and knelt down to express their submission.
For a moment, the border was completely silent, with only the whistling of the wind as the sound.
At this time, the queen turned to look at Baona, and their eyes met in the air. Without words, they already understood each other's intentions. At that moment, everything around them lost its color, as if only the two of them were left, with strong emotions entangled between them.
Baona was about to speak when she saw a mysterious smile on the Queen's lips. She gently raised her hand, pointed into the distance, and slowly said, "Tomorrow, the border will usher in a new dawn..."
The next morning, the golden sun dispelled the solemn and murderous atmosphere on the border.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance of earth, a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere of last night.
Baona stood on a high place, looked around, and a feeling of heroism surged in her heart.
She took a deep breath and signaled Foreign Minister Gongsan to deploy the border peace plan that had been prepared long ago.
The plan elaborates on the interests of each tribe in concise and clear language and proposes practical solutions.
This is not only a peace agreement, but also a blueprint for mutual benefit and win-win results.
Baona's gaze swept across every tribal leader present. Her voice was clear and powerful, like a spring breeze, caressing everyone's hearts. "I am well aware that there are differences and conflicts among the tribes, but this should not become a stumbling block to our common development. Only through cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation."
Her sincerity and wisdom deeply moved the tribal leaders present.
The leader of the Rangsi tribe, the once suspicious man, was the first to stand up. His voice was as loud as a bell. "My Rangsi tribe is willing to join hands with the Ancient Dian Kingdom to create a better future!"
Immediately afterwards, the wise man of the Lezheng tribe also nodded slowly, his deep eyes gleaming with wisdom. "This plan is very much to my liking. The Lezheng tribe is also willing to form an alliance with the Ancient Dian Kingdom."
In an instant, as if Pandora's box had been opened, more and more tribal leaders expressed their agreement. They excitedly shook the hands of the envoys of the ancient Dian Kingdom and signed border agreements symbolizing peace and friendship.
Laughter and joy spread across the border, and the former hostility and estrangement now turned into sincere smiles and expectations.
Bona stood at the pinnacle of glory, receiving the warm cheers and respect from the crowd.
The breeze blew her hair, the sun shone on her face, and her smile was as bright as a flower. It was joy and firm confidence in the future.
She knew that her current glory was inseparable from the Queen's trust and support, and even more so from her own efforts and dedication.
The flames of war on the border have died down, replaced by the dawn of peace.
Under Baona's promotion, the diplomacy of the ancient Dian Kingdom reached an unprecedented height.
Her name, like a legend, is passed down among tribes, inspiring people to pursue peace and development.
The diplomatic mediation has concluded successfully and a new chapter is about to begin.
Baona turned around slowly and looked into the distance.
"Princess, the cultural exchange plaza is ready." Foreign Minister Gongshan whispered in her ear.
Baona smiled slightly. She didn't respond immediately. She looked into the distance meaningfully and said slowly, "It's time to face a new storm."
