"My Majesty hopes to use a large amount of ore or mineral veins to purchase a territory from the Qiu Kingdom."

Bai Qiuyuan: "I refuse." (Decisive)

man:"……"

"May I ask why Your Majesty rejected me?"

Bai Qiuyuan said with a smile.

"Qi is the largest mining country in the lower realm."

"The mineral veins and ores they provide are more complete and in greater quantities than those in your Xiao Country."

"So the conditions you offer are not very attractive to me."

After hearing this, the man frowned and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, have you formed an alliance with Qi?"

If Qiu State has already formed an alliance with Qi State.

[Then Xiao State's greatest bargaining chip would no longer have any advantage...]

Bai Qiuyuan laughed after hearing this.

"That's not true."

man:"……"

"Then what you just said, Your Majesty, means..."

Boom!

After hearing this, Bai Qiuyuan took out the Qi State's imperial seal from behind his back and placed it on the table, explaining with a smile.

"Although I have not formed an alliance with Qi."

"But I have already occupied Qi."

"All the minerals and territories that Qi once owned now belong to Qiu."

man:"!?"

[That is! The imperial seal of Qi!]

[The Imperial Seal can never be stolen! ]

[Could it be that Baidi really has already...?]

【…】

【Do not! 】

[How is this possible! The State of Qi has been established for a hundred years!]

[For over a hundred years, the State of Qi used local minerals to create a large number of high-quality weapons.]

[Therefore, no country has ever been able to gain any benefits from Qi! ]

How could the Baidi, who had been on the throne for less than half a year, have conquered the State of Qi?!

(Because of the delay in information, the members of the delegation were unaware of Bai Qiuyuan's unification of the six kingdoms.)

Soon, the man noticed that the jade seal in Bai Qiuyuan's hand seemed to be made using the unique casting technology of the Qi royal family!

It is the genuine imperial seal of Qi State, not a fake imitation!

Coupled with the calm reactions of the ministers around him, the man realized that Bai Qiuyuan was not lying.

Man: [If Qi has really merged with Qiu's territory...]

[That also means...]

[The current territory of Qiu State is at least four times the size of Xiao State!]

……

Bai Qiuyuan continued to explain.

"Besides, I have no intention of selling any of my Qiu Kingdom's territory, no matter how much you offer in exchange."

"These territories were conquered by the blood and sweat of our Qiu Nation's soldiers."

"Now that it's in my hands, I'll have to die."

"Otherwise, no one will be able to make me 'vomit'~"

"Of course, I won't rent out my territory to anyone else."

man:"……"

The man was silent for a few seconds after realizing that the status of the Xiao Kingdom he represented was far inferior to that of the Qiu Kingdom and that negotiations were impossible.

Then he saluted.

"Since Your Majesty disagrees, we will not disturb Your Majesty and will return home first."

After saying that, he turned and left the hall.

The other ambassadors followed closely behind the man and left the court together.

After seeing this, Bai Qiuyuan had no intention of stopping them and let them leave.

After everyone left, Bai Qiuyuan sat on the throne and stretched lazily.

He seemed unconcerned about the success or failure of the transaction.

The ministers discussed.

"Your Majesty! The Xiao Kingdom's envoys previously looked down upon our Qiu Kingdom."

"Are we just going to let them go like this?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Now that Qiu has unified the six kingdoms, why should we fear a small kingdom like Xiao?!"

"The Qiu Kingdom Palace, can they come and go as they please?"

The generals nearby also agreed after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, as long as you give the order, we will lead our troops to attack the Xiao Kingdom!"

"Within a month, we will be able to conquer the Xiao Kingdom!"

……

Bai Qiuyuan waved his hand at the jade seal, and the jade seal originally placed on the table instantly turned into a set of tea sets.

Next to the tea set was tea that Bai Qiuyuan had prepared in advance.

Bai Qiuyuan picked up the tea set and said lightly while making tea with the hot water he had prepared in advance.

"The Xiao Kingdom delegation has just knelt down."

"Let's forgive others when we can."

"If we start a war, there will be casualties."

“By then, many people will have died on the battlefield and will not be able to return home.”

"I didn't unify the six kingdoms just to start a war."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Bai Qiuyuan: "Xiao Country is too far away from Qiu Country."

“It’s also difficult to deliver supplies to the troops on the march in a timely manner.”

"In addition, Xiao Guo is very familiar with the terrain of his country."

"If you want to rely on numbers to suppress the Xiao Kingdom."

"If you push them too far, the Xiao Kingdom will be at its wit's end and will fight you to the death."

"Even if you win, you will probably suffer heavy losses."

"After the war, all we get is a scorched earth."

"Wouldn't it be better to just stay in Qiu Country?"

【Isn’t it nice to develop in a subtle way? 】

After Bai Qiuyuan finished making tea, he poured himself a cup of tea.

Then Bai Qiuyuan put the teapot aside, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea calmly.

After hearing this, the people, who had become inflated by the country's vast national strength, immediately realized this.

At this time, a general spoke.

"Isn't Your Majesty still here?!"

"Your Majesty, you single-handedly defeated the Wei army of tens of thousands."

"As long as Your Majesty personally takes action, the Xiao Kingdom will undoubtedly be defeated!"

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

Bai Qiuyuan put down his teacup, glanced at the general, and spoke.

"What are you..."

"Are you planning on teaching me how to do things?"

general:"?!"

When the general realized that he had said the wrong thing, he knelt down and shouted.

"Don't dare!"

"I made a mistake in my words. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

After seeing this, Bai Qiuyuan picked up the teacup again and started drinking tea.

[Except for the six kingdoms, the land in other places is extremely barren.]

[It is precisely because of the barrenness of the land that those countries are unable to continue to develop and expand their territory.]

Even if we send troops to capture it, we won't gain any substantial benefits.

[On the contrary, it might increase my workload in managing those barren lands.]

I won't do such a thankless job. (Drinking tea)

At this time, another minister expressed concern.

"Your Majesty, the Xiao Kingdom delegation suffered a setback in the Qiu Kingdom."

"Will he return with his troops for revenge someday?"

After hearing this, Bai Qiuyuan replied.

"As long as he dares to come, he will never return!"

"The combined military strength of the six nations reaches as high as one million."

"One person's saliva can drown the other."

"What are you afraid of?"

After hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Yes, what are we worried about?

[If someone calls, can't I just call back? ]

……

——Palace Square——

Among the departing ambassadors, one person asked the man who had spoken to Bai Qiuyuan before.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
