I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

"But what if it's not? What if he did all this because he had enough confidence?" The counselor stepped forward, and his aura overwhelmed the brave general for a moment, "Don't forget! We are facing the empire that dominates the East God and is the best in the world!"

"..."

"We don't know the real strength of the Tang Dynasty at this moment! What if, what if they have a hidden card, have you considered the consequences?"

Needless to say, the consequences are naturally disastrous.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

It's not like they haven't thought about this.

Those who advocated war were not the majority in the court, after all, everyone was afraid of death.

But they couldn't make a decision.

The only one who can make the decision is the Lord of Southern Border - the Witch King himself.

This reckless attack was the result of the decision made by the Witch King.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the Witch King who was sitting in the position of the prefect.

The Witch King has a strong build and looks very majestic and imposing.

He was wearing brown-black armor, holding a long sword in his hand, and his hair was covered with colorful priest hair accessories.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he slowly spoke in a voice as deep as the growl of a wild beast:

"This is the oracle sent down by Master Wu Zu."

hiss--

Everyone in the hall immediately lost the idea of ​​refutation.

The orders of the Witch Ancestor must not be disobeyed. This is a concept deeply rooted in the souls of the people of southern Xinjiang.

It seems that this battle has to be fought even if we don't want to, and the Witch Ancestor will definitely not harm his own people.

What he said must be right. Since Wu Zu believes that they can fight, the Tang Dynasty must be at the end of its strength.

"Since it is Wu Zu's order, what are you waiting for?" The counselor frowned, noticing something. "Why are you still hesitating? Why did you send an envoy to test it?"

The Witch King sighed roughly.

"Because... I'm not sure."

"Not sure about what?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask!"

A sudden burst of murderous intent, the Witch King's eyes frightened the counselor so much that he took two steps back.

It is obvious that the Witch King is in a bad mood and is thinking about killing people.

"I will make my own judgment, but it all depends on the performance of the Tang envoy."

They had already received the letter from Xiao Yu, which said that an important Tang envoy would personally go to Jingzhou City to meet with the Lord of Southern Xinjiang to show his sincerity.

The person in charge of the mission was none other than the legendary Lord Di, the most talented person in the south.

This letter confused them greatly.

I have already demonstrated such powerful strength, aren't those Tang people afraid?

Why did they dare to come here so arrogantly and even send the most important court officials into the enemy’s territory!

These details reveal confidence everywhere! There is no fear of war at all!

It seems that what he is facing is still that powerful empire in full swing!

"Report! A group of people claiming to be Tang Dynasty envoys have arrived at the city gate!"

The messenger's voice came from outside the lobby.

The southern border strategists and generals in the yamen instantly tensed up, and the Witch King secretly clenched his fists.

"Let them in."

If it were a dozen years ago, he would have gone to the city gate to greet them in person, because Southern Xinjiang was just a small vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

When meeting with the envoys from the Tang Dynasty, you must treat them with respect like a subject.

But it's not what it used to be.

He wanted these messengers to come over humbly and worship him!

"Yes."

The messenger swallowed and instantly understood his master's attitude.

He felt a little excited, and even his tone became arrogant.

He returned to the city gate, pointed his chin at the envoys in front of him, and said coldly: "Come in, the master is waiting for you."

The game often begins from the first sentence of conversation.

The fat man in black had now changed into his official uniform. He glanced at the messenger and replied in the same cold tone: "Everything that happened today will be recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty, along with the fall of the Southern Kingdom."

The position of Dali Temple Chief Justice is equivalent to the Supreme Judge, and people who hold this position for a long time naturally have a terrifying aura.

The messenger shuddered and dared not look up at Lord Di's eyes again.

“Please… please come in…”

He made way for a path.

The city gate was very narrow, and both sides were filled with soldiers from Southern Xinjiang.

The atmosphere was tense and filled with solemnity.

Jiang Ke'er and others were asked to line up and walk forward for inspection.

Lord Di walked in front. He opened his arms and shook his wide official robe to show that he was willing to be searched.

Two soldiers in charge of the body search came over.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers raised his head and smiled strangely.

"Zhi!"

Just as his hand reached Lord Di's chest, he raised his hand and the hidden sword flew out of the air!

A sudden swing and slash!

Cut off Lord Di’s head!

(2/2)

57. Drastic Change

The assassin attacked at a very close distance, and Lord Di had no time to make any defensive moves.

This was an assassination that had been planned for a long time. The assassin had been waiting for the opportunity since the moment Lord Di left the capital.

And now... they finally succeeded.

Lord Di's head and body were separated, and even Jiang Ke'er couldn't save him.

"what are you doing!"

The soldiers around him were so frightened that their legs went numb instantly.

The person he just assassinated was the most important strategist of the Tang Dynasty, Lord Di, the Minister of Dali Temple!

Is this a secret arrangement by the Witch King?

If not...

If this is not the Witch King's arrangement, then something really bad has happened!

"Hahahaha, negotiate? Dream on!"

After the assassin achieved his goal, he stood there laughing crazily, and was arrested without any resistance.

He showed no fear, but his mental state seemed to be a little off.

Jiang Ke'er was also a little stunned by this sudden change.

Lord Di died suddenly on the spot, and the main envoy in charge of the negotiations had also passed away.

He died in a miserable way, with his head and body separated. Even I couldn't save such a body.

Something big happened!

The plans of both the Tang Dynasty and Southern Xinjiang were disrupted in an instant, and the so-called peace talks seemed to have become empty talk in an instant.

All of this forced both sides to move towards the only option - war.

If Jiang Ke'er went back like this, all she would get would be a declaration of war.

The situation did not allow her to hesitate.

She calmed down in an instant, made a prompt decision, took a step forward, and flicked her skirt.

"Lord Di has been assassinated! I will carry out this diplomatic mission on behalf of Lord Di!"

Even if you have no experience at all, you have to go ahead and do it.

The top priority is to protect your own life and avoid encountering the assassin again.

Regardless of whether he could successfully complete the mission on behalf of Di Gong, there must be no more problems.

Otherwise, a war between two countries of such a large scale would surely end in a land of corpses!

Choking——

The girl drew her Tang sword and spun around with it, forcing back the soldiers who were about to search her.

The sharp light pointed directly at the government office.

"Everyone get out of the way! Tell your master to come out and see me!"

She had no awareness that she was in the enemy camp. Her two delicate eyebrows were raised and her gaze was as cold as the Netherworld Cold Spring.

Qiao Qianxue protected Jiang Ke'er almost at the same time, and murderous intent that was far beyond the understanding of the people of China burst out, forming a restricted area.

It seemed that anyone who dared to step into that restricted area would be torn to pieces in an instant.

The Southern Xinjiang messenger had never thought that he would encounter such a situation. He stared at Lord Di's corpse and was trembling with fear.

When this group of Tang Dynasty envoys arrived, there were two men and two women, a total of four people.

Now there are only three left, and their numbers clearly do not pose any threat...but no one dares to use force against them.

Because of the significance they carry, no one dares to slack off at this time.

"I, I'll go and report to my master right away..." The messenger ran towards the government office with a strong smell of urine.

In the distance, Xiao Yu and Li Taibai, who were paying attention to the situation in Jingzhou City, suddenly changed their expressions.

The most important negotiation protagonist, Lord Di, is dead.

Death happened so suddenly.

They were not given any time to come up with alternative options.

Now there are only three vassals, Jiang Shuishui, Qiao Qianxue, and Li Niu who serves as a groom, standing outside the city of Jingzhou. They may be torn to pieces by the crazy people of southern Xinjiang at any time!

"Come back! Come back soon!"

Li Bai was so frightened that his hands and feet turned cold. Looking at Jiang Keer's figure from afar, his heart was in his throat.

With the death of Lord Di, the delegation instantly lost its backbone.

This was no longer a situation they could handle.

The intentions of the Lord of Southern Xinjiang are unclear, and even if there are no assassins, they will most likely be killed.

If an imperial official is assassinated at his doorstep, the ruler of southern Xinjiang will think that war is inevitable and will not care about killing a few more envoys.

However, the girl did not give up resistance.

While Xiao Yu and Li Bai were staring in astonishment, she boldly drew her sword.

"I will carry out this diplomatic mission on behalf of Lord Di!"

There are no backup options for the mission, and everything depends on improvisation.
