Chapter 134 The Envoy from Xizhao 5
Green smoke was floating in the imperial pharmacy, and a golden medicine furnace stood in the middle.

The pharmacist held a golden pill in his hand, studied it carefully, and stroked his graying beard from time to time, "This golden pill is exquisitely made, and it is a rare and high-quality tonic. Will the general really want to cut it open for inspection?"

Xue Yao said concisely, "Cut it open."

Immediately the pharmacist put the golden elixir into the container passed by the apprentice with both hands, and the two walked into the inner room back and forth.

Bai Liqi probed in the direction of the inner room for a while, and asked, "The general suspects that the medicine Dongshi gave the princess is poisonous?"

Xue Yao picked up the teacup in hand, lifted the lid of the cup and sniffed it, "You'll know after the inspection—how did you go after the assassin yesterday?"

"Their leader was injured by the general, and he probably won't come out again recently. The others... seem to be very familiar with the situation in the palace, so they escaped." Bai Liqi reported in detail.

Xue Yao raised his eyes, put the teacup on the table again, and clenched his fists.

"At least prove that our previous guess is correct, and narrow down the scope of the search in the palace."

"Yes!" Bai Li cupped his fists, "I have one more thing..."

"Say."

"General, Xizhao sent someone to Nansang." Bai Liqi's voice sank.

"Could it be that the new king of Xizhao came here to bow his head and bow down to show his loyalty when he ascended the throne?" Xue Yao said slowly.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Bai Liqi shook his head, frowning, "After defeating Xizhao, the general thought that Xizhaocheng's vassal state would be obedient and pay tribute, but who knows that they recently discovered the black iron deposit, once Armed with black iron on horses and soldiers, one can count as ten, and it will be even harder for me, Nansang, to swallow Xizhao's iron bun."

However, the corners of Xue Yao's mouth suddenly curved, and he smiled relievedly, "It's not a bad thing to make the emperor fearful. Do you know who Xi Zhao sent as an envoy?"

"This, there is no definite news yet. I'll go find out."

"It doesn't matter." Xue Yao raised his hand, "No matter who you send, they will be defeated and not worth mentioning."

At this time, the Jinluan Palace was full of quarrels.All the ministers were eager to express their opinions, and there was a lot of noise inside and outside the hall.

The emperor rubbed his temples and waved his long sleeves, "Enough is enough! Stop quarreling, I want you to come up with a plan to appease Xi Zhao, not to quarrel."

Master Qing Wang of Honglu Temple held the imperial wat in both hands, bowed respectfully and said: "Qizuo the emperor, Xizhao discovered the black iron mine and the whole country celebrates it. However, the drought in our southern mulberry is severe, and the people in the southwest are struggling. I think I can't fight any more now. , should focus on appeasement."

These remarks aroused the emperor's interest, "Then Aiqing, how should I appease you?"

Lord Wang also said, "As long as Xizhao is willing to give up the mines, we might as well take a step back and agree that Xizhao can stand on his own and not be my vassal of Nansang."

At this time, Admiral Su interrupted Mr. Wang and took a step forward.

"My lord Wang's words are wrong. The soldiers managed to beat Xi Zhao to bow his head and surrender. This matter must not be allowed."

Lord Wang glanced at Admiral Su, and said in a serious voice, "Admiral Su, you and I do not belong to each other. As a military commander, you wantonly command the officials of Honglu Temple to do things. If you act so authoritatively, where do you put the emperor?"

Admiral Su bowed to the emperor, his words were full of sincerity, "I, Su Mo, are loyal to the emperor, and the world can learn from it, but you, who knows if you have taken money from the envoys of Xizhao, and have been speaking for them."

"Don't spit your blood!"

Admiral Su sneered and shook his head again and again, "You are the one who is incompetent and incompetent. You are not doing anything in your position. Why don't you return home when you are old?"

Lord Wang threw the wat at Admiral Su, "I will fight you!"

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair was furious, picked up the memorial on the table and slammed it down, "Enough! How decent!"
