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

Then, he raised his hand, pointed at Liu Yueru and said, "First, marry that woman to our Northern Frontier King as a concubine. Second, you marry my sister Jiang Ningxue. Third, we want a quarter of the land in Kyoto. As long as you can do all these, we will naturally give you the method of making gunpowder when we get what we want."

"Bang!" Xie Jingrui took out the long sword in his hand and chopped it hard at the long table in front of him.

With the rise and fall of the knife, the originally complete long table was instantly split into two halves by Xie Jingrui. Jiang Ningxue, who was hiding behind Jiang Borui, looked at Xie Jingrui like this, and her body could not help but shrink and tremble slightly.

Jiang Borui relied on the gunpowder in his hand, straightened his back, met Xie Jingrui's cold eyes, and said in a tough attitude: "Is this how you people in Kyoto treat foreign envoys?"

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Love comes back to those who give, and blessings come to those who give. Your attitude is how we treat foreign envoys. We in Kyoto follow the principle of reciprocity the most!"

"First, Madam Liu is a role model for women in our capital. With your behavior just now, we in the capital will not feel comfortable sending women to your northern border to be princesses. Second, my marriage cannot be interfered with by others. There are thousands of good women in the capital, and it is not the turn of a foreign woman to come to my Jin Palace to be a princess."

"Third, you want a quarter of the land in Kyoto. If you want it, come and take it yourself. I will accompany you to the end."

As Xie Jingrui finished speaking, his voice became increasingly cold and filled with hostility.

The ministers, who were originally feeling aggrieved, felt much more at ease instantly after hearing what Xie Jingrui said, and their blood boiled all over their bodies.

Emperor Hexu had a somewhat frustrated look on his face, and was also aroused by Xie Jingrui.

Even if they don't have the method to make gunpowder, as long as they are willing to research it, one day they will be able to make the recipe for gunpowder with their own abilities.

Emperor Hexu's gaze fell back on Liu Fufeng and Xie Jingrui who were present. What could a small country in the northern border do to them?

Think about this.

Emperor Hexu stood up straight and said to Jiang Borui, "You are like a lion with a big mouth. You want to return a quarter of our land with a small gunpowder recipe. I am afraid that your state is unable to manage it."

"Besides, none of us has ever seen the recipe for making gunpowder you mentioned. Who can guarantee that it is not something you made up out of thin air?"

Jiang Borui's expression flashed with surprise, but soon returned to normal. He snorted coldly: "In this case, let's go."

Jiang Borui was about to take his men away.

"Wait!" The secret guards beside Xie Jingrui suddenly appeared and blocked the way of several people.

Xie Jingrui said in a cold voice: "Since you are here, how can you leave without eating at the banquet? If it gets out, people will say that we in Kyoto are too stingy and don't even let you eat at the banquet."

Seeing this, several people had no choice but to retreat back into the hall and sit down in their seats.

Xie Jingrui clapped his hands and passed over the special dishes that had been prepared in advance for the foreign envoys from Northern Frontier.

Jiang Borui looked at the food on the table and his face darkened instantly.

Fried locusts, boiled locusts, steamed locusts, braised locusts!

"You, you guys!"

Before Jiang Borui finished speaking, he heard Xie Jingrui say calmly, "This year, the crops in Kyoto have been eaten by locusts, and there is little left. This locust banquet is the best thing we can offer you. Enjoy it slowly. If you don't eat it, we will mistakenly think that you don't want to be on good terms with us Kyoto people. I think you don't want to provoke a war between our states because of this, right?"

Jiang Borui was still afraid of Xie Jingrui. If they started a war between the nations now, they would definitely be blamed by the King of Northern Frontier when they returned.

They had already secretly investigated the so-called locust incident, and they didn't know where Emperor Hexu got the information from, but he asked the people to collect the grain from the fields and bring it home in advance.

Xie Jingrui said this simply to force them to eat the locusts in front of them.

Jiang Ningxue looked at the locusts and her expression turned a little ugly.

She raised her eyes to suppress the anger in her eyes and met Xie Jingrui's gaze: "Your Highness, it's just that the crops on the farm were destroyed. Doesn't the treasury in Kyoto have anything left to entertain foreign envoys?"

Xie Jingrui's eyes swept across Jiang Ningxue coldly.

then.

He turned his eyes away from her with disgust: "Here, yes, the Kyoto treasury is short of money, and all the things have been used for disaster relief."

Xie Jingrui's words instantly made Jiang Borui and the others look a little uglier.

Jiang Borui suddenly lifted up the tables in front of them and said, "Bang!"

A loud noise sounded in the hall. Jiang Borui clenched his fist and looked at Emperor Hexu and said, "Since you are so ungrateful, don't blame us for being rude. You forced us to do this."

The words fell.

Jiang Borui drew his sword and stabbed towards Liu Yueru.

Lixia and Bailu stood beside Liu Yueru.

The remaining few people who came with Jiang Borui also drew their swords and pointed them at where Liu Yueru was.

Seeing this, Xie Jingrui frowned and rushed towards Liu Yueru worriedly.

The same is true for Liu Zimo and Liu Fufeng.

The guards in the hall immediately protected Emperor Hexu and the Empress.

The court officials all stood up.

For a while.

There was chaos in the hall.

Lixia and Bailu wrestled with Jiang Borui.

However, there is a huge disparity in power between them.

Not long after.

Lixia and Bailu were stabbed by Jiang Borui.

now.

Xie Jingrui, Liu Fufeng and others have already arrived in front of Liu Yueru.

The swords clashed with those of the foreign envoys from the Northern Frontier, and the hall was filled with the sound of swords.

Jiang Ningxue's eyes were always on Liu Yueru.

Seeing the danger, everyone was worried about Liu Yueru's safety and ran towards her.

Even Xie Jingrui's eyes were filled with concern for Liu Yueru. Jiang Ningxue was so jealous that she was unrecognizable. She moved her feet carefully.

Slowly approaching towards Liu Yueru.

Jiang Borui's martial arts skills are not inferior to Xie Jingrui's. While Xie Jingrui is fighting against Jiang Borui, he also has to pay attention to take care of Liu Yueru.

Just when the opponent was distracted, Jiang Borui's sword slashed fiercely at Xie Jingrui's arm.

"Hiss." Xie Jingrui groaned.

Liu Yueru's face turned pale, and she warned Xie Jingrui, "Be careful."

Liu Fufeng and Liu Zimo faced off against two other envoys from the Northern Frontier.

Lixia and Bailu were injured, and they protected Liu Yueru and retreated to a safe place.

"Are you guys okay?" Liu Yueru asked with concern.

Lixia and Bailu nodded.

They took Liu Yueru to a pillar where there was no fighting and looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly.

Just then, a figure in strange clothes flashed past them.

"Go to hell!" The opponent's short swords stabbed towards Liu Yueru...
