Before the envoy could speak, Cheng Lixue came over and said, "Your Highness, they are envoys sent by Linyuan."
"As for why they also cut open the bags containing rice grains, I don't know."
When the envoy heard Cheng Lixue's address to Tang Miaoxin, his eyes became even more surprised.
Ning Guzhou is the King of Qin. If someone calls him His Highness, it would be justified.
And Tang Miaoxin is the Princess of Qin. Regardless of the rules of any country, the title "Your Highness" is not suitable for her.
The envoy had questions in his mind, but he also knew that this was not the time to ask.
He said hurriedly: "I met Princess Qin. After I waited in Qinzhou, I saw that Qinzhou was very lively and prosperous, so I walked around."
"I just saw the excitement here, so I came over to join in the fun."
"The scabbard of my sword was broken and I accidentally scratched the bag of rice grains. I didn't mean to rob Qinzhou's rice grains."
He laughed at himself when he said this: "It is impossible for just a few of us to steal Qinzhou's rice."
After he finished speaking, he put the knife on the ground. His scabbard had been thrown somewhere during the fight.
He knew his excuse was lame, but at this time, he couldn't find any other excuse.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at Shuxiu. Shuxiu's foot stepped on the handle of the knife. The knife flicked and fell into Shuxiu's hand.
Shuxiu said softly: "Your Highness, he had a knife in his hand, but he didn't use it to hurt the people of Qinzhou. I don't think he meant any harm."
Tang Miaoxin nodded slightly and said to the people: "They are envoys from Linyuan. I will personally take them back for interrogation."
"Today I see everyone working together to fight against foreign enemies, and I feel very happy."
"We, the people of Qinzhou, should live in harmony and treat the outside world as one like everyone else!"
All the people were very happy when they heard her words, and the originally murderous scene immediately took on a gentle atmosphere.
Tang Miaoxin smiled and said: "I, the people of Qinzhou, should treat it like this. I am here to thank you all on behalf of the prince!"
"Everyone comes to buy things and go home to celebrate the New Year. My family members are all waiting."
"I will handle this matter now. Everyone, please go home!"
The common people knew that the envoys were sent by Linyuan to discuss peace, and although they felt that they must have evil intentions, Tang Miaoxin stepped forward to handle the matter, so they did not need to worry about it anymore.
So they quickly dispersed in twos and threes.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at Cheng Lixue, who lowered his head slightly.
She said quietly: "Come here, send the envoy back to the annex, and I will interrogate him personally."
The soldiers took the minister away.
After Tang Miaoxin got on the carriage, Cheng Lixue stood beside the carriage and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise I might not be able to end today."
There is no one else here, and Tang Miaoxin is too lazy to act like a princess anymore.
She glanced at him sideways: "Mr. Cheng, you were quite considerate in your actions before."
"This time, you can't even handle such a small matter well. You have grown so old, are you using your age to feed dogs?"
Cheng Lixue: "..."
This time he was scolded, but he couldn't even find the words to refute.
In the final analysis, he did underestimate the hatred of the people of Qinzhou towards Linyuan this time.
He sighed softly, looked at Tang Miaoxin and said, "When you gave me this idea, did you expect this kind of thing to happen?"
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "What did Mr. Cheng say? I'm not as good at calculating as you are."
Cheng Lixue: "..."
He had a feeling of being included.
Tang Miaoxin added: "I just felt a little uneasy, so I came over to take a look."
"After all, before I came here, I never thought that Lord Shanda of the Imperial Academy would also make mistakes."
Cheng Lixue: "..."
He was sure that he was not only admired, but also despised by her.
In the final analysis, it was him who failed to do things well this time.
But what Tang Miaoxin did today, he did everything just right.
She has only been in Qinzhou for a few months, but she has already won the respect of the people in Qinzhou.
No matter how high he usually thinks of himself, he admires her so much, but he really doesn't have this ability.
He felt a little frustrated. They were both time travellers, so why was the gap so big?
After arriving at the annex, Tang Miaoxin sat in the main seat, while the envoys and his entourage stood at the bottom with bruises and bruises.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at them and said, "The scabbard was broken and the rice bag was accidentally cut. This excuse is really bad."
"Let me guess, do you want to find out if Qinzhou really has enough food and grass to support Qinzhou's attack on Linyuan?"
Her words were extremely straightforward, but they were like a sharp knife thrust into the envoy's heart.
His mood at this time was a bit complicated, but there was no way to deny Tang Miaoxin's guess.
He asked directly: "Where did Qinzhou buy so much rice?"
Tang Miaoxin smiled lightly: "Do you want to die or be a prisoner?"
Envoy: "..."
He understood what she meant. A defeated general was not worthy of asking questions.
This seemingly charming Princess Qin can tame the Iron-faced Witch, but she cannot be a good-tempered one.
He took a deep breath and knelt in front of Tang Miaoxin and said: "Linyuan is willing to surrender to Qinzhou!"
"Let me go back and report on the matter of ceding land, and then we can discuss it again."
Tang Miaoxin glanced at him sideways, threw him a map and said: "Using the red line as the boundary, this side belongs to Qinzhou."
"If you can't make the decision on this matter, Qinzhou will use his cavalry to talk to Wu Yi."
Envoy: "!!!!!"
He really didn't expect that this delicate-looking woman could be so domineering!
He picked up the map and saw that the lines drawn on the map extended more than a hundred miles further than what Cheng Lixue had talked about before.
It actually covers most of the place where the river flows, and is the place with the most abundant water and grass in Linyuan.
The envoy said anxiously: "We didn't talk like this before!"
Tang Miaoxin chuckled: "Of course I know this was not the case before."
"Master Cheng was talking to you before, but I am talking to you now."
"If you don't agree this time, let the prince come with his cavalry to talk next time."
"I can't say where the boundary will be when the time comes. After all, when it comes to war, whoever has the strongest fist has the final say."
Envoy: "!!!!!"
He raised his head and looked at Tang Miaoxin. She was bright and delicate, as bright as the newly blooming peach blossoms on the branches in spring, but with unquestionable determination and domineering.
Tang Miaoxin saw him looking over and smiled slightly: "I was pregnant before, so I was never able to visit Linyuan."
"Now that I have given birth to my child, I don't have anything special to do. I can just go to Qinzhou to visit."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shuxiu and said, "You will accompany me then."
Shuxiu responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Envoy: "..."
Envoy: "!!!!!"
Cheng Lixue: "..."
He felt that the results he had talked so much with Linyuan before were not as effective as Tang Miaoxin's visit this time!
