I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

However, along the way, Liu Yueru and Xie Jingrui felt that someone was staring at them.

That look was fierce and sinister.

Liu Yueru grabbed the hem of her skirt nervously.

And Xie Jingrui also always pays attention to the situation around him.

Not long after.

The two of them arrived at the banquet one after another. Liu Yueru found her seat and sat down quietly.

This banquet was completely unfamiliar to Liu Yueru. In her previous life, all the affairs in Kyoto were carried out according to the plans of those people from the Northern Frontier.

Now that their ambush in Liu Mansion by Aunt Zhao's identity has been discovered, the locusts' plan has been ruined by them. Now they can only use the gunpowder incident to show off their power in Kyoto, take the opportunity to threaten Emperor Hexu, and get what they want.

Now that the princes have grown up, Emperor Hexu is unable to handle many things. After weighing the pros and cons, Emperor Hexu will still give in on some things.

Because no one wants his people to suffer devastating harm because of his decision while he is in power.

Liu Zimo had come and sat down next to Liu Yueru without her knowing.

"Yue'er, are you okay?" he asked softly in Liu Yueru's ear.

Liu Yueru finally came to her senses, looked up at Liu Zimo and shook her head at him.

She looked around but didn't see the Northern Frontier envoy coming. She lowered her voice and asked in Liu Zimo's ear, "Second brother, have you found that person?"

Liu Zimo looked at Liu Yueru with worry and shook his head: "No, I just asked the prince, and the secret guards are still increasing the search area, but still found nothing."

Liu Yueru lowered her eyes, and forced a smile on her face, saying, "It's okay, second brother, don't worry. The banquet is about to begin, second brother should go back to his seat first."

Liu Zimo nodded, gave Liu Yueru some instructions and then left.

Not long after.

Emperor Hexu and the Empress Dowager appeared together on the high throne.

"Please invite the foreign envoy from the northern border." The loud voice of the eunuch rang out in the hall.

Soon after, several envoys from the Northern Frontier dressed in strange clothes walked in from outside.

Among them were three men and one woman, all of them wearing local costumes from the northern border.

Ever since those people came in, Xie Jingrui's eyes have been on them.

He found that the three men walked without making any sound. Their lightness skills were naturally amazing. And the other woman.

Since she came in, her eyes have been vaguely fixed on Liu Yueru. Although she concealed her emotions very well, the resentment in her eyes was captured by Xie Jingrui.

only!

Why would a female envoy from the Northern Frontier feel such hatred towards Liu Yueru the moment she saw her?

A person suddenly flashed in Xie Jingrui's mind!

Liu Yueru also noticed a resentful gaze on her. When she raised her eyes, she saw the gentle smile of the female foreign servant.

Liu Yueru frowned slightly and gave the other party a faint smile in return.

Several foreign envoys came up to Emperor Hexu and the Empress and bowed to them.

Emperor Hexu asked the other person to stand up.

One of the tall men smiled and said to Emperor Hexu: "My name is Jiang Borui. This trip to Kyoto is mainly to send our northern border specialties to Kyoto."

Emperor Hexu nodded with a smile on his face, in the spirit of peaceful resolution.

then.

The foreign envoy clapped his hands and asked the attendants around him to carry the so-called specialties from outside into the hall.

The first few baskets contained common fruits and vegetables that were specialties of northern Xinjiang, but the ones at the back contained things that they could not understand.

The Northern Frontier envoy named Jiang Borui picked one up with a smile and said, "This is the latest gunpowder developed by our Northern Frontier. Its power should not be underestimated. Let's demonstrate it to everyone again."

Before Emperor Hexu could speak to stop him, Jiang Borui quickly lit a small one and threw it into the hall, near Liu Yueru's position.

"Boom!" The explosives exploded instantly in the hall.

Lixia and Bailu quickly protected Liu Yueru behind them.

Everyone present was frightened by the scene before them. They stared in shock at the place where the explosion had just occurred. Although it was only a small one, the power was very great, and a hole was blown out of the stone slabs on the ground.

There was still a wisp of smoke coming out of the pit.

Everyone turned pale and took out their handkerchiefs to cover their noses.

Jiang Borui looked at the expressions of the crowd and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha! Sorry, I didn't know you had never seen such gunpowder, I scared you, we will pay for the repair of the pit."

Those people from Northern Xinjiang all followed suit and smiled secretly.

And the woman from the northern border looked at Liu Yueru with a hint of pride in her eyes.

Their behavior made everyone very unhappy, and Emperor Hexu's face suddenly turned dark.

But they wanted to obtain this gunpowder research and development from the people in the northern border.

Even if you are dissatisfied in your heart, you have to swallow your anger.

Emperor Hexu spoke first: "What conditions do you want to return the method of making this gunpowder to us in Kyoto?"

Jiang Borui suddenly laughed again: "Does Emperor Hexu know what it means to have this gunpowder manufacturing recipe?"

Emperor Hexu had been brave all his life and had never been humiliated in public like this, but for the sake of the people of Kyoto to live and work in peace and happiness, he clenched his hands and suppressed the anger in his heart.

Try your best to keep the smile on your face.

Just when Emperor Hexu wanted to continue speaking.

Xie Jingrui stood up with a stern look on his face. He looked down at Jiang Borui and said, "This is the territory of Kyoto. Since you are the foreign envoys from the Northern Frontier who have come to Kyoto to make friends, you should show the right attitude."

Xie Jingrui pointed at the hole on the ground that was blown out, the coldness in his eyes spread wantonly, and he said in an extremely cold voice: "We don't want your compensation for that hole. Since you blew it up, you have to fill it up yourself."

Jiang Borui's face froze, and then he looked at Emperor Hexu with dissatisfaction and said, "Is this how you in Kyoto treat our envoys from the Northern Frontier? There are many countries that want our gunpowder making recipe. If you have this attitude, we will have to reconsider our relationship between the countries."

"Oh? What's the relationship?" Xie Jingrui didn't buy the other party's account at all.

Jiang Borui was speechless for a moment after being blocked by Xie Jingrui, and looked at him angrily.

Finally, he continued to say to Emperor Hexu: "Don't you want the method of making gunpowder?"

Hexudi opened his mouth, but Xie Jingrui's tall figure blocked his view: "I want it, but the conditions must be acceptable to us. Negotiations are supposed to be successful only when both parties reach an agreement, not as a bargaining chip for you to threaten us!"

Xie Jingrui cast a cold gaze on the other party and continued, "Tell me, what conditions do you want in order to hand over the method of making this gunpowder?"

Although Jiang Borui was unhappy, he tightened his hands under his sleeves and turned his gaze to Liu Yueru on the side...
