Chapter 180 Long live my emperor (67)

When the Chaoge envoy arrived, Nan Yue was at the riverside, watching the improved boats set sail and cross the extremely wide river...

Jiangzhou Governor Lin stood beside her, watching the ship sail away, his eyes full of excitement, "I have heard that Wuzhou is vast and rich in resources, rich in ironware, and Yuezhou colored glaze is even more famous, but it is difficult to transport, and it is only merchants who travel back and forth, and the prices are also amazing. Now that we have these ships, it will be much easier to travel in the future..."

Each state has its own abundant products, but they are limited by the terrain.

Jiangzhou is like a granary, without enough funds for protection and development.

Lord Lin was able to stand on Nan Yue's side not only because she helped them solve the urgent problem of Pinglu and Lu states.

And because she came up with such a good thing, the blueprints of a big ship.

Most people would not give away this kind of thing easily, but Nan Yue gave it to him directly.

With this sturdy ship, we can transport some elite soldiers here...

Of course, a large number of troops still have to travel by land.

But at least it gave Lord Lin a lot of sense of security, as Chu Yu had many elite soldiers and generals under his command.

The subordinate hurried over and told Nan Yue the news of the envoy's arrival. Nan Yue was not surprised at all and did not go over immediately.

Instead, he talked to Lord Lin about the next arrangements for Jiangzhou, and then went to the training ground to see Tuoba Ling and Chu Yu. The three of them chatted for a long time in the tent, and then went to investigate the people's sentiments...

It was not until the sun set that Nan Yue returned home leisurely to meet the envoy from Chaoge.

When Zuo Yi got the news, he entertained her, but not long after, seeing that she had not come back yet, he guessed what she was thinking and slipped away, saying that he was busy with official business.

The messenger sat awkwardly in the hall. The servants changed the tea several times before he finally waited for Nan Yue to come back.

"Meet Master Chu."

The messenger was a little angry after being left out for so long, but he didn't dare to show it.

"Why are you so polite, Lord Xu? Please stand up."

Having said that, Nan Yue did not reach out to help, but sat directly in the main seat.

Lord Xu stood up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lord Chu to still remember me..."

In fact, considering the small title Nanyue has been conferred by Emperor Ning, Lord Xu’s official position is higher than hers, so there is no need for him to call himself a humble official.

But there is no other way. We have to coax Chu Yu to surrender and fight, and we are on someone else's territory, so we naturally have to be as polite as possible.

Without waiting for Nan Yue to speak, Lord Xu spoke up, “I still remember when I went to the Marquis’ Mansion as a guest. The Marquis was still alive at that time, and Lord Chu was only a few years old. He even pulled my beard. I didn’t expect that you’ve grown up so much in the blink of an eye, and you’re still so capable…”

He talked about old times, trying to arouse Nan Yue's nostalgia for Chaoge, but these were all Chu Yu's experiences, and Chu Yue was still in the manor at that time.

He was talking nonstop, but Nan Yue took the bamboo slips beside him and started reading them...

Lord Xu stopped only when his mouth was dry. When he saw Nan Yue's appearance, his expression couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Being ignored again and again, Chu Yu is just a junior.

But there was no other way, he had to do his best to complete the task assigned by the prince.

He picked up the tea and took a big sip to calm himself down.

"Sir Xu, did you come all the way here just to tell me these little things?" Nan Yue asked.

Lord Xu forced a smile, "How could that be? I came here to convey the Crown Prince's order..."

Seeing that she didn't want to listen to nonsense, Lord Xu tactfully talked about business.

But my heart felt a little heavy.

Speaking of those things, Chu Yu was not moved at all. This matter might not be so easy to accomplish...

After listening to what Lord Xu said, Nan Yue fell silent.

She didn't say anything, and Lord Xu didn't say anything either, he just waited nervously for her answer... The silence didn't last long.

The young man raised his lips in an ambiguous way and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's reward is indeed sincere and much better than that of His Majesty. It would be stingy of me to refuse..."

Thinking that she was going to agree, Lord Xu's heart was tense before he could relax, but he heard her change the subject.

"But I'm a stingy person."

Nan Yue placed the bamboo slips on the table next to her. Although the sound was not loud, Lord Xu's heart trembled.

She said in a cold voice: "I always remember how Chaoge treated my mansion after my father died. If I hadn't walked step by step to my current position, would you come to see me? Would you give me such a heavy reward?"

Lord Xu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"If I didn't have the ability, the martial arts and strategies, my sister, mother and I would have become Yang Su's punching bags, tortured and insulted. We might even have been killed by bandits on the road!"

"And all this was brought to me by the corrupt court and the incompetent emperor!"

The young man stood up and sneered, "Want me to go back? Sure..."

She spoke word by word, "Tell the prince and the emperor that if they want me to surrender, then let the emperor tell the people of the world everything he has done to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Lord Xu's eyes widened in shock, "You..."

What's the difference between her request and asking Emperor Ning to issue a self-criticism edict?
The prestige of the imperial court was already insufficient, and if these things were spread out, it would be even worse...

I'm afraid that even the three states that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has managed to stabilize will be in turmoil.

"Chu Yu!"

Lord Xu's face turned pale, but he still insisted, "Listen to me, if you surrender to Chaoge, you will definitely not be limited to the reward of a marquis of ten thousand households..."

Nan Yue didn't have the patience to listen to his nonsense anymore. "I'm busy with work, so I'll leave you alone for now."

"you you……"

Lord Xu trembled his fingers. No matter how high the reward she asked for, the prince would consider it. Why did she have to ask for such a reward?

It seems that just as San Gong expected, Chu Yu was angry, and this anger was not just a small one.

Lord Xu stayed in the mansion for some time, trying to persuade the man more.

But Nan Yue was really busy and he rarely saw her.

No matter how much he tried to persuade her, she had no intention of changing her mind. Lord Xu had no choice but to take his men back to Chaoge...

I heard what Lord Xu conveyed, and I found it was embellished.

Prince Yan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with coldness, "Does Chu Yu have to force me like this?"

He admitted that the order his father had issued previously was a bit excessive.

But isn't Chu Yu alive and well now? He even owns five states!
What is he dissatisfied with?

Does my father have to tell the world all the dirty things he has done?

What benefit does this bring to him other than venting his anger?
This is truly the mind of a young man!
Emperor Ning, who was recuperating from illness, also heard the news brought back by Lord Xu.

He immediately threw the pure gold medicine bowl to the ground in anger, "This Chu Yu kid is really asking for more!"

"The emperor has already conferred upon him the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, yet he is still greedy and wants me to admit my mistake!"

"What have I done wrong?!"

Emperor Ning lost his temper and the palace servants who served him knelt on the ground.

"Chu Yu, if you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"

Emperor Ning summoned a trustworthy person and said, "Pass the order to confiscate the Yongding Marquis's mansion! Revoke Chu Rui's title! All relatives of Chu Yu within three generations will be imprisoned!"
