The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"But you should know that the Ninth Prince gave me much more than this."

After saying that, Yang Ling ignored the woman in front of her and looked around the room aimlessly.

Liang Hui frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted her teeth.

"His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally agree to all the conditions the General mentioned."

Upon hearing Liang Hui's words, Yang Ling finally smiled.

"As long as you bring me the goods, from now on I will lead all my soldiers to submit to you."

……

After a brief exchange, Liang Hui wisely left, knowing that staying any longer would be pointless.

After seeing the woman off, Yang Ling stretched wearily.

Indeed, the intrigue and backstabbing of ancient times were something that ordinary people could not withstand.

Fortunately, everything is under my control now.

Days passed by, and as the Ninth Prince recovered, all the officials, big and small, from Liangzhou came to visit him.

For many days in a row, Yang Ling spent his time eating, drinking, and having fun with these people.

Of course, he didn't forget his businesses in Liangzhou either.

In just six months, his earnings in Liangzhou had reached 30 million taels of silver.

This is an extremely substantial income; the entire Liang Dynasty's annual tax revenue is only fifty million taels.

"Your Highness, the envoys from various countries have all arrived."

In the study, An Yu looked at Yang Ling with a serious expression.

Upon hearing that the envoys from all sides had arrived, Yang Ling put down the book in her hand.

"Come, accompany me to see these people."

Yang Ling looked confident. Today, he was going to give these people a taste of their own medicine and let them know that Liangzhou was not a place they could covet.

An Yu nodded and accompanied Yang Ling to the front hall.

Upon arriving at the front hall, they discovered that the messengers all appeared completely unperturbed.

In their eyes, a mere Ninth Prince was nothing to fear. If it weren't for the fact that the current Ninth Prince controlled the entire Liangzhou, they would have no respect for him at all.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is indeed a dragon among men. We heard that you were assassinated, but now that we see you are safe and sound, we can finally rest assured."

As soon as the messengers arrived, they all stepped forward to pay their respects.

Hearing these people's voices, Yang Ling's lips curled into a cold smile; he didn't take the envoys' reactions seriously.

These people all looked so calm and collected; you could tell at a glance they had no good intentions.

However, Yang Ling didn't say it directly. After all, it was their visit, and it would be inappropriate for her to say something untimely.

"How do you envoys feel about your arrival in my Liangzhou?"

Yang Ling asked casually, and the envoys frowned slightly, somewhat not understanding the meaning of her words.

However, they also knew that the current Ninth Prince was not the same Ninth Prince as before.

The current Ninth Prince holds significant military power in Liangzhou and wields considerable influence there. Moreover, it is said that he is extremely cruel and previously wreaked havoc in Liangzhou.

If he were to clash with these envoys now, they would probably be no match for him.

Therefore, they all behaved themselves and dared not say anything unnecessary.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the people of Liangzhou are simple and honest, and we are having a very pleasant time here."

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, the envoys had no choice but to honestly recount them.

Upon hearing these words, Yang Ling's lips curled into a cold smile.

These people's reactions were within his expectations. After all, he now held great power and had absolute strength in Liangzhou. If these people didn't behave themselves...

He could take care of all these people in no time.

"Since you envoys find Liangzhou appealing, I will entertain you here for a while. When you return, you can tell your emperors about the situation in Liangzhou."

Yang Ling said this casually, and the envoys frowned slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of his words.

"Your Highness, we have come to represent our country in establishing friendly relations with Liangzhou and the Ninth Prince. We urge the Ninth Prince to promote trade and share the divine weapons and artifacts you possess with our country!"

An older envoy stepped forward, but as soon as he uttered those words, Yang Ling lost her composure.

These guys came for the firearms in my hand; it seems they've already noticed them.

However, Yang Ling was also clear that what she had in her hands was for them to see, not for them to use.

If we sell everything to them, wouldn't that be like digging our own grave?

"What do you mean by that, envoy? If it's just a simple civilian trade, I naturally have no objection. But if you covet the divine weapons in my possession, then I regret to inform you that there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Yang Ling looked at the other party with a smile. The envoy was slightly taken aback. Yang Ling's answer was indeed somewhat unexpected. However, in a moment, the envoy returned to his original expression.

"Your Highness is too kind. Since we are doing business, shouldn't we show our sincerity to each other?"

The envoy tentatively said that he did not believe Yang Ling would dare to refuse in front of them. After all, although he had powerful weapons, Liangzhou alone could not stop so many countries from sending troops.

Sensing the threat in the other party's voice, Yang Ling smiled faintly.

"If I don't agree, won't a great battle be inevitable when you return?"

"Your Highness is joking. As you know, we are just representatives. Whether we can persuade His Majesty is another matter entirely, so Your Highness doesn't need to worry about these things at all. However, if Your Highness insists on disrupting the harmony between us, then there is nothing we can do."

"What do you mean by these words, envoy? Are you threatening me?"

Yang Ling grew impatient. He couldn't stand people like this; to put it bluntly, they were bullies who preyed on the weak. If he really dared to make a move, these envoys probably wouldn't dare utter a single word.

"Your Highness is too kind. As you know, we are born to do things for our country, so Your Highness should consider this more carefully."

The envoy looked at Yang Ling with a smile, but his eyes were full of threat.

Unfortunately, Yang Ling didn't take his words to heart at all. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Today, let them see what a powerful army is."

"In that case, please come with me to see the army of Liangzhou."

After saying that, Yang Ling turned and walked out, and the envoys quickly followed behind him.

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Yang Ling led his group directly towards the training ground.
