Chapter 1221 The Supreme Emperor

The internal disputes in Northern Qi seem to have nothing to do with Suning and his team, but they are directly related to the outcome of their actions this time, so the more intense the internal fighting in Northern Qi is, the better.

When the Nanqing delegation arrived in the capital of Northern Qi, the Jinyiwei still arranged for many ordinary people to watch. The defeat on the battlefield made them extremely hostile to the Nanqing people.

Of course, this kind of hatred is exactly what the Jinyiwei wanted to achieve. Shen Zhong just wanted to give the Nanqing delegation a warning, and he wanted to obtain the dignity that he could not get on the battlefield through conspiracy and trickery.

However, Fan Xian was unwilling to give Shen Zhong such an opportunity. He had come to Northern Qi to stir up trouble. "Your Highness, I would like to display the flag of our Southern Qing army, the first to invade Qi territory."

"Do as you please! With Hong Siyang and Yan Xiaoyi here, no one in Northern Qi dares to attack you." Suning naturally agreed without any hesitation.

"Yes! Your Highness."

After receiving permission from Su Ning, the head of the diplomatic envoy, Fan Xian arrogantly jumped onto his deputy's carriage and said, "This flag is the first flag of the Nanqing army to set foot on Northern Qi territory. Today, I personally carry this flag to your Northern Qi capital. Anyone who dares to disobey me can come up and challenge me, Fan Xian, to a duel."

"..." At this moment, the people of Northern Qi all looked at Fan Xian with indignation, but they were angry but dared not speak out.

After all, the leader of the Nanqing delegation is the prince of Nanqing, and there are two ninth-rank masters guarding the surroundings. Generally, no one dares to come up and fight. If they cause foreign affairs disputes, they will be in big trouble.

"Sixth Prince, isn't your delegation's deputy envoy going too far? Isn't this deliberately rubbing salt into the wounds of the people of Northern Qi?" Seeing that no one dared to come on stage among the arranged people, Jinyiwei Commander Shen Zhong began to get angry.

"What? You, the Jinyiwei, deliberately arranged this trick and you won't allow our Nanqing delegation to respond?" However, Su Ning lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Shen Zhong with disdain and asked.

"This……"

"Shen Zhong, I admit that you are indeed a rare smart person, but don't treat others as fools. Don't do such tricks in the future."

"Huh? Thank you for your teachings, Sixth Prince."

Then Suning simply lowered the curtain of the carriage. He was really too lazy to pay attention to this self-righteous guy. Anyway, he would suffer for his arrogance in the future.

Only in this way will Shen Zhong, who is desperate, face reality. At that time, I just need to extend an olive branch to him, and this guy will definitely choose to join me. You must know that I can give him more than just glory and wealth.

This time, Suning wants to control the external military and the internal Jinyiwei department in Northern Qi. When the time comes, with the addition of Haitang Duoduo in the palace, he will be the actual emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

No one dared to jump up and confront Fan Xian along the way. Just when Suning was about to let Fan Xian, who had stolen the limelight, come down, He Daoren, who was arranged by the Jinyiwei, appeared.

"Fan Xian, come out and die."

"..."

However, Shen Zhong had just been mocked by Su Ning, so he naturally didn't dare to stir up trouble as planned. Instead, he took the initiative to rush forward and drive away the ninth-rank master He Daoren. "He Daoren, this is the Nanqing delegation sent to Northern Qi. Remember not to be rude or presumptuous."

"Commander Shen, my disciple Cheng Jushu died in the capital of Nanqing. I came here to ask Fan Xian for an explanation." At this time, He Daoren's eyes naturally flickered a few times, and he continued to explain the hatred between himself and Fan Xian.

"Where do all these theories come from? We must naturally put the overall situation first."

"Huh? Fan Xian, one day I will seek justice for Cheng Jushu." Taoist He, who had reacted, raised a flag in a pretentious manner and flew away.

"..."

At this time, Fan Xian naturally jumped off the roof of the carriage with a helpless look on his face. He didn't expect that the people of Northern Qi were so heartless that no one dared to come forward and fight with him.

At this moment, Fan Xian looked at Wang Qinian with a depressed look on his face and asked, "Wang Qinian, are all the people of Northern Qi so heartless?"

"Of course not! Didn't you realize that everything that happened today was arranged by humans?" The clever Wang Qinian naturally noticed the abnormality today.

"But why did Shen Zhong dismiss these people?" Fan Xian then looked at Wang Qinian in confusion and asked again.

"I guess it must be because our Sixth Prince warned Shen Zhong. Just now, when you jumped on the carriage to humiliate the people of Northern Qi, I saw Shen Zhong, the commander of the Northern Qi Jinyiwei, go to the Sixth Prince, but in the end, he left the Sixth Prince's carriage with a face full of shame."

"Oh! How boring! I wanted to have a good fight."

"Sir, if a fight really breaks out, it will be a round-the-clock battle. And there's also He Daoren, a ninth-rank master. How can you handle it with your level of cultivation?"

"makes sense."

Then the delegation's convoy arrived safely at the residence arranged by Northern Qi. Everything here was naturally arranged by the Honglu Temple of Northern Qi. Su Ning and Fan Xian could only follow the host's wishes.

That evening, the Queen Mother and the young Emperor of Northern Qi held a welcome dinner for the delegation. It was the first time that Suning saw the young Emperor of Northern Qi dressed as a man, but she found that he was not her type.

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi and the young emperor both raised their glasses and looked at Suning, "Sixth Prince, welcome to lead your delegation to Northern Qi."

"Thank you, Queen Mother of Northern Qi and Emperor of Northern Qi." Suning, who also picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp.

"Haha, Your Highness the Sixth Prince is straightforward." The Queen Mother of Northern Qi was naturally overjoyed at this time.

However, the young emperor of Northern Qi made an impolite request to Su Ning, "Sixth Prince, could you please return your maid, Si Lili, to Northern Qi?"

"Emperor of Northern Qi, since you already know that she is my maid, why do you still force me to return her?" Sure enough, Su Ning's face suddenly turned cold. In the original drama, this girl disguised as a man was very scheming.

"Your Highness, Si Lili originally belonged to Northern Qi. Now she has been reduced to a slave. Naturally, she is eager to return to her homeland. Therefore, I beg Your Highness to help her."

"In my eyes, there is no distinction between the people of Southern Qing and Northern Qi. From the moment Si Lili stepped into my residence, she became mine. So Emperor of Northern Qi, please do not mention this matter to me again."

"I will exchange one hundred beautiful women from Northern Qi for you."

"Haha, the Northern Qi Emperor is indeed extremely wealthy. Unfortunately, Your Highness does not want to accept such behavior, because it is an insult to Your Highness. Besides, countless people in Northern Qi have been enslaved. Do you, Your Highness, cherish and care about them so much?"

"This……"

"Of course! If the Northern Qi Emperor insults me like this again, then please prepare your Northern Qi army to fight! This time, my Southern Qing army will fight you to the death."

“…” At this moment, everyone in the hall was stunned. They did not expect that the Sixth Prince of Nanqing would be so domineering.

"Haha, Sixth Prince, why should you be angry over a woman? Our emperor was just joking." Sure enough, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, who was watching the show on the side, hurried out to smooth things over.

"Queen Dowager of Northern Qi, I have truly experienced your Northern Qi hospitality. I have come down with a cold after the long journey, so I will return to rest. From now on, our Deputy Envoy Fan Xian will be in charge here."

"Then Your Highness, please do as you please for now."

"Farewell."

Then Suning simply turned away from the Northern Qi palace, while the face of the young Northern Qi emperor turned ashen and pale. He did not expect that the Sixth Prince of Nanqing would be so disrespectful to him.

However, after the welcome banquet was over, the young emperor of Northern Qi still kept Fan Xian, the deputy envoy of the Southern Qing delegation. On the surface, he said it was because she was a fan of Fan Xian, but in fact, she wanted to use Fan Xian to make some trouble.

The young Northern Qi emperor, already confused by his anger, looked at Fan Xian in confusion, "Fan Xian, has your Sixth Prince always been like this?"

"Of course not! Our prince is well-known for his gentleness and refinement in Nanqing. He is so irritable only after coming to your rude and barbaric Beiqi." Fan Xian naturally wanted to speak in unison with the instigator Su Ning, but when it came to venomous words, he was even more vicious than his own brothers.

"Hmph! You say we in Northern Qi are rude and barbaric, then who jumped onto the carriage to humiliate us in Northern Qi?" However, at this time, the young emperor of Northern Qi was so angry that he wanted to jump up and down.

"Emperor of Northern Qi, you don't really not know that what happened today was orchestrated, right?"

"Humph!"

"The Emperor of Northern Qi, you can use such a conspiracy against a foreign delegation. It shows that your Northern Qi is not a country of etiquette." "Humph! Then your Nanqing army has occupied so much of our Northern Qi territory, and you still don't allow our people to express their anger?"

"If you want to express your anger, you'd better go to the battlefield. We are a delegation representing peace. Your actions in Northern Qi are truly childish."

"You..." The young Northern Qi emperor felt like he was about to explode with anger, but suddenly his expression changed and he burst into laughter. "Haha, I didn't expect that the poet from Nanqing, who was able to write the famous novel "A Dream of Red Mansions", would be so eloquent?"

"The Emperor of Northern Qi is so kind."

"Okay! Go back! I'm a little tired."

"Foreign Minister Fan Xian takes his leave."

After Fan Xian left the palace, the young emperor of Northern Qi showed a frustrated look on his face, feeling that their Northern Qi was really too weak.

The young emperor of Northern Qi naturally wanted to make a difference, but unfortunately all the power in Northern Qi was controlled by the empress dowager, and she felt extremely frustrated as the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Nanqing delegation is too rude. I will go and teach them a lesson."

"Haitang, respect is based on strength. It's our fault that Northern Qi is too weak."

"emperor……"

"I'm tired! I want to have a good rest."

"Then Haitang will take her leave."

"Ah."

……

As soon as Su Ning returned to the residence arranged by the Honglu Temple of Northern Qi, Si Lili knelt in front of Su Ning in shame and said, "Your Highness, it's all because of me that you are so upset."

"That's not true! I'm just using this as an excuse to make a fuss today, to prevent the Northern Qi capital from bothering me for no reason."

"what……"

"From now on, I, the leader of the diplomatic mission, will remain hidden behind the scenes. Someone else is truly stirring up trouble in the capital of Northern Qi."

"Fan Xian?"

"Of course! After all, there is no one more suitable than him."

"Your Highness, I want to go back to my home to see my family, is that okay?"

"I'll arrange for someone to go with you, and also arrange for them to go to Nanqing Kyoto."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Then Su Ning arranged for the guards to accompany Si Lili to visit her family, and Haitang Duoduo appeared right after them, "Your Highness, you have really angered our Emperor."

"Haitang Duoduo, if someone were to fall in love with your beauty one day and wanted to trade me for a hundred women, would you be very angry?"

"But...but the emperor wants to make Si Lili the imperial concubine."

"This Imperial Concubine Si Lili is nothing more than a tool for your Emperor to deceive the public."

"Huh? Your Highness, you even know this?"

"Haitang Duoduo, my woman is my bottom line. I will never give up even a little bit of my kingdom or my beauty."

"Alright! Anyway, you won this fight."

"You look so unhappy, could it be that there's something going on with your little emperor disguised as a man?"

"Ah? Your Highness, how can you say such nonsense?"

"Hey, today is a rare day for us to be alone. Let me see if your skills have improved."

"..."

At this time, the Northern Qi general Shang Shanhu also met Sean successfully. Of course, Sean's life was about to enter the countdown, because it was Sean's death that completely made Shang Shanhu and Sean become mortal enemies.

"Godfather, I will definitely find a way to rescue you."

"Stop wasting time! There are too many people who want to kill me. It might be difficult for me to escape this time."

"No! My son will definitely rescue you."

"Do you really want to save me?"

"Seriously! Shangshanhu's life belongs to you, godfather."

"Alright! The only one in this world who can save my adoptive father is the Sixth Prince of Nanqing. I want you to lead the Northern Qi army and pledge allegiance to the Sixth Prince. How do you do that?"

"what?"

"Why? You won't?"

"This this……"

"Tiger, I'm sure you've heard about a great opportunity your father has, right?"

"Have heard a little bit."

"Back then, my father and Ku He encountered a great opportunity together, but Ku He was the one who put aside his pride and knelt down. That's why he has achieved the Grandmaster realm today, while my father has become a prisoner."

"what?"

"Tiger, we have another great opportunity before us. It would be a shame if we missed it."

"Foster father, could it be that the great opportunity you are talking about is the Sixth Prince of Nanqing?"

"That's right!"

"Foster father, this is a serious matter. Please allow Shang Shanhu to think about it."

"Okay! I won't force you. I am satisfied just to see your filial piety."

"..."
