"Besides, we will not let you go alone. Guards will accompany you into Jingzhou City to carry out this diplomatic mission."

As Xiao Yu spoke, he smiled and looked at Jiang Ke'er and Qiao Xiaoxian: "Girls, are you sure you can protect Lord Di?"

"I'm not sure. Where are the peaches, General Xiao?" Jiang Ke'er's eyes widened. "You're asking us to die! Even clay people have tempers. You chopped off their envoys in front of them. How can they not kill us? Are we just going to swallow our grievances? Why? How are they going to explain to their subordinates?"

"Because I trust you."

At this time, Xiao Yu put on a brainwashing posture of a superior treating his subordinates: "I believe that with you here, everything can be turned into a safe place. As long as Di Gong is given a chance to talk to the Lord of Southern Xinjiang, they will definitely be able to feel the sincerity of the Tang Dynasty's yearning for peace!"

Sincerity???

Exm???

Is your way of expressing your sincerity to ask us to visit you with the envoy's shattered heads?

How did a guy with such a big brain problem become a general? Did he think I was Long Aotian? Who can turn any danger into safety?

Besides, even if Sister Qiao Qianxue is extremely powerful, she is just a warrior after all. How can she fight against an entire army of monks!

And that’s someone else’s territory!

Jiang Keer felt that Xiao Yu must be crazy.

Otherwise, how could he treat the little girl he met for the first time as his savior and completely entrust Lord Di's life and property to himself.

"For the people of the empire, for the lives of all people in the world." Lord Di suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, revealing a heroic determination to sacrifice himself for justice. "Although I don't quite understand General Xiao's plan, I can only do my best. Even if I die, I will protect the peace of the empire for another hundred years!"

Hey, hey, hey, you guy, don’t say such extreme words suddenly!

What about the people of the empire, what about world peace? You are using moral kidnapping!

If I don't go after you say something like that, wouldn't I be a selfish person?

"For the lives of all people in the world!" Xiao Yu said in a sonorous voice, even with tears in his eyes, looking very moved.

Then he looked at Jiang Ke'er expectantly.

The acting was so realistic that even the guys around were infected by the sudden heroic atmosphere and looked at Jiang Keer with tears in their eyes.

Jiang Ke'er was so anxious that she was jumping up and down. She didn't want to die on the way to marry Qiao Xiaoxian, but she also didn't want to be regarded as a selfish bastard.

Let's go, but it seems like there's no chance of success.

I'd like to say I don't want to go, but the atmosphere has become like this.

Gan.

"I'll go, I'll go!"

(1/1 I will resume the second update tomorrow, no need to wait until Monday.)

55. Imperial Majesty

Xiao Yu is such a disgusting person!

Jiang Keer's intuition made her hate this cunning guy who would do anything to achieve his goals.

“If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to go.”

Qiao Qianxue spoke coldly, holding Jiang Keer's hand as if to support her confidence: "No one can force you."

"I wouldn't say I was forced," Jiang Ke'er clenched her fists and shook her head like a rattle. "In this situation, going deep into the enemy camp, surrounded by barbaric soldiers with no moral standards, it would be a lie to say I'm not afraid."

"After all, I am so weak, how can I help? I don't understand why General Xiao Yu trusts me inexplicably..." Jiang Ke'er touched her chin and thought for a while.

She raised her head cutely, her big eyes flickering with a sly look: "So, you really do know me, you know me better than I know myself...right?"

Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly shrank.

"I will go," Jiang Ke'er smiled, "After all, I have made it in time. Who can leave a whole city of fellow villagers alone... But General Xiao Yu, if I can really escape danger and come back alive, I hope we can talk alone then."

Xiao Yu was silent. He found that he had underestimated Jiang Ke'er again.

Even though she had lost many memories, she still retained that terrifying insight and was able to discover the connection between herself and her from such simple details.

The God Lord had just asked him to keep it a secret, but now the Holy Ancestor Jiang Ke'er had discovered the clues.

Jiang Ke'er obviously wanted to know her identity and memory through herself, but this conflicted with the Lord God's order...

Who should I listen to in this case?

"But Sister Qianxue, please don't follow us. There are cultivators everywhere and you can't handle it." Jiang Ke'er said to Qiao Qianxue with blinking eyes.

"I don't trust you."

"What's the point of you worrying?" Jiang Ke'er said with a smile, "I saw it on the way here. The difference in strength between cultivators and ordinary warriors is like that between an egg and a stone. It's no exaggeration to say that.

I am a doctor. If I go there, I can at least help the Lord of Southern Xinjiang with his illness. I can then make up a decent terminal illness and shout, "Only I can cure the Lord of Southern Xinjiang's illness!" I can still fool people with it... What's the point of you going there?"

"My pleasure."

"..."

This answer stumped Jiang Ke'er.

She is most afraid of unreasonable people.

She can find weaknesses in anyone who is reasonable, and even if there are no weaknesses, she can attack their logic to create weaknesses.

Even if you can't convince the other party, at least there is a chance to negotiate.

But Qiao Qianxue is the type of person who is completely unreasonable and is simply her natural nemesis.

"Why don't you even want to live? Isn't it good to be alive?" Jiang Ke'er stamped her feet angrily, "Reckless man! Reckless man!"

Qiao Qianxue smiled indifferently and habitually put her hand on Jiang Keer's head.

Click~ Fingerprint unlocking successful~

Li Taibai looked at Qiao Qianxue's comfortable hand, and instantly imagined a strange fingerprint unlocking sound effect in his head, which made him feel very sour for a moment.

I am such a failure as a brother.

"If we are going to meet the Lord of Southern Border, we should at least dress decently, so as not to make him think that our empire is poor."

Xiao Yu glanced at Jiang Ke'er's dusty coarse cloth and said, "Even if we don't show the dignity of the First Empire, at least we can't be so tattered.

They are rude, but we cannot be rude. An envoy should behave like an envoy... Go take a shower and change your clothes first. Don't worry. I will send a message to calm them down."

Jiang Keer nodded.

If you bite a dog, it is normal for the dog to bite back.

But if it's the other way around, it's not right.

So why bite the dog?

It seems like the focus is not right.

In short, although those southern Xinjiang cavalrymen were extremely rude, they were not acceptable as envoys of the Tang Dynasty.

A great power should act like a great power. That is the accumulation of cultural heritage of countless generations, not a vacancy that can be replaced by a temporary lead in power.

“This is a world in a box.”

Xiao Yu just flicked his sleeves, and two small palaces shining with golden light appeared on the flat ground in the forest.

The sound of gurgling water could be heard in the palace, and a faint mist floated out of the chimney.

Even in an era of scarce spiritual energy, Xiao Yu was able to produce such a jaw-dropping cultivator's creation, which shows how high his status is to the empire.

But such a powerful person knows me... Thinking of this, Jiang Keer became more and more looking forward to her identity.

"You guys go in and take a shower."

Xiao Yu said.

This is actually just a bathhouse used for bathing and changing clothes.

Jiang Ke'er has been floating in the river and bathing in the cold water these days, which makes her look forward to the warm water.

She rushed in, babbling and cheering as if she had found her home, completely losing all fear of entering the enemy camp.

She is always simple, so simple that a hot bath can make her feel better.

Qiao Qianxue smiled faintly as she looked at the girl's figure... The source of her joy now was seeing Jiang Ke'er looking so happy.

"Hey! You haven't brought your clothes in yet!" Xiao Yu held his forehead with his hand. "You can't come out wearing those tattered clothes later, otherwise you would have taken a bath in vain. I have some clothes for the female messenger here... You can take them with you."

"No need."

Qiao Xiaoxian shook his head, unbuttoned his backpack and took out the brown wooden box.

She did not take Xiao Yu's clothes, nor did she ask why he was wearing women's clothes... She just hurriedly held the box and followed Jiang Ke'er's footsteps to prevent her from being too far away from her.

Xiao Yu scratched his head, and his hand holding the messenger uniform froze in mid-air, feeling a little embarrassed.

He smiled awkwardly, looked at the fat man in black, and said, "How about giving it to you?"

"…You should keep it for yourself."

Lord Di rushed into another bathhouse as if escaping.

Xiao Yu had no choice but to put away his messenger uniform and start writing a letter to the Lord of Southern Xinjiang.

Before the envoys set off, they should at least be stabilized and the benefits should be made clear to them, so as to prevent the other party from getting angry and directly massacring the city.

In fact, his action of killing the cavalry just now was also a test. The monks on the other side's city wall had already clearly seen his behavior and should have reported it to their master.

But there has been no movement in the city until now, and the other party has not continued to kill people.

This shows that the Lord of Southern Xinjiang is not as confident as he appears. Everything before was more like a desperate bluff, the purpose of which is to intimidate the Tang Dynasty.

But the empire is, after all, a dragon that has experienced hundreds of battles. Even if it has been hit hard by the times, it is not something that can be easily shaken by wolves and tigers. If the ruler of Southern Xinjiang really wants to start a war, he must consider himself carefully.

If you are frightened by their domineering aura, then you have fallen into their trap. Being tough will make it difficult for the other party to judge your true strength.

After all, people only respect the strong, not the rules and etiquette.

Xiao Yu thought about it and looked in the direction of the bathhouse.

The Lord of Southern Xinjiang has an uncertain attitude. He will probably test the envoys madly and make things difficult for them in order to detect the true strength of the Tang Dynasty.

Even with the wise Lord Di here, it would probably be difficult to survive this storm.

I don't know if they can bear it...

56. Caught off guard

"The military advisor that General Pei once regarded as his right-hand man is indeed extraordinary!"

At this time, the government office in Jingzhou City was in chaos.

Today, the government office has become a temporary camp for the southern Xinjiang army, and the prefect has long been driven out.

The soldiers on the city wall reported everything Xiao Yu had done to the main camp, and then this temporary camp was in an uproar.

The Witch King's advisers instantly split into two factions and started arguing fiercely.

"It's not too late to apologize now!" A counselor shouted and bowed before the Witch King. "The war between the two countries is by no means a trivial matter. The other side is confident and fearless. I'm afraid they have hidden cards. Lord Witch King, you must not believe in slander and take action against such a behemoth!"

The Witch King he was kneeling to was the Lord of Southern Xinjiang. Outsiders called him the Lord of Southern Xinjiang, while his own people called him the Witch King.

The Southern Kingdom believed in nature and witches and ghosts, and the Witch King was the high priest who was elected to communicate with the witch ancestors of all generations.

Because he is the only one who can communicate directly with the Witch Ancestor, the Witch King has the highest authority.

"Coward!" The sitting warrior spat, and drew out his scimitar with a clang, "The Northern Kingdom has been prosperous for hundreds of years! It's time for our Southern Kingdom to rise up and become the king! Besides, we have the order from the Witch Ancestor, so what is there to worry about?"

The counselor's eyes widened and he cursed, "You brainless fool! The Northern Kingdom has developed trade for hundreds of years and has accumulated a lot of wealth! Even if we lose our spiritual power, we still have countless treasures. We may not be their opponents in a head-on fight!"

"We have to fight for the treasures!" The brave general opened his eyes wide and said, "The Tang Dynasty is just a half-dead body! Even if we don't fight, the Turks will fight, and the Khitans will fight too! Even though they are surrendering now, when they find the spiritual power source, do you really think they will have eternal allies? By then, they will snatch all the treasures away! They won't even leave you a slag!"

"Indeed! But even if we have to fight, we have to join forces with the Khitans! Otherwise, how can we eat this behemoth? Aren't you afraid of choking to death?" The counselor argued, "You only have your eyes on the treasure, but have you considered the risks?"

"There's no risk!"

"The master sent those rotten soldiers to test, but they were killed by Thunder Sword Xiao Yu without hesitation! Did you see any fear in his every move?" the strategist asked angrily.

"It's just a bluff!"
