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

In the face of such a disaster, God knows how much pressure and fear the girl carried behind her decisiveness at this moment.

Diplomatic missions, negotiations, and diplomacy are jobs that only the most talented counselors can handle.

Every word in the conversation is filled with hidden dangers, and its level of danger and intensity is definitely no less than a fight between monks, and the cost may even be greater!

How could she...

"We have to rescue them immediately!" Li Taibai glared at Xiao Yu, "The situation is out of control!"

"Don't be anxious," Xiao Yu also looked solemn. The death of Lord Di was completely beyond his expectations and disrupted his calculations, but he did not immediately think of retreating.

"Why not be anxious?" Li Bai asked back.

"The situation can't get any worse. If we withdraw the delegation now, it will only make the ruler of Southern Xinjiang anxious and more resolute to attack the Tang Dynasty." Xiao Yu explained, "So, we might as well give it a try and let the girl have a try."

"How can she ..."

"This is about our country's destiny. We have no other choice." Xiao Yu's hand holding the sword was shaking slightly. "At a time like this, we must not withdraw. We must not show weakness!"

Don't show your weakness, and even try to be more arrogant!

At the same time, in the southern border camp in the city.

"Report——"

The messenger reported the horrific scene he witnessed to the Witch King.

The Witch King stood up quickly, and the chain mail on his strong body made a rattling sound.

The problem is huge.

Because the assassin was indeed not sent by him.

This means that someone wants to destroy the peace between the Tang Dynasty and Southern Xinjiang at all costs and force them to fight.

However, Southern Xinjiang is now unable to defend itself.

An important official of the Tang Dynasty court was killed on the spot surrounded by soldiers from Southern Xinjiang. Naturally, the emperor would blame all the crimes on Southern Xinjiang.

Once a gap is created, no amount of negotiation will be of any use, the only option is fighting... and both sides are afraid that the other side will strike first, so they will definitely take the initiative as soon as possible!

"besides……"

The messenger continued to report.

"After Lord Di died, a maid who accompanied him threatened to take over the negotiation mission."

"Did she say anything else?" The Witch King frowned.

"She told you to 'go over to her'!"

The disrespect in these words made the Witch King's heart skip a beat.

An ordinary maid naturally wouldn't have the courage to say such words.

But she is a maid from that empire!

What he said did not represent herself, but the power of the entire country behind her!

When she told me to get out of here, she meant that she wanted the entire southern Xinjiang to get out of here and submit to her like a monarch!

What an arrogant maid.

It seems that although Lord Di is dead, the negotiations and tests are not over yet.

"Walk."

The Witch King gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

It's funny that half an incense stick ago he wanted the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to come and see him in person, but now the situation has suddenly reversed.

The death of Lord Di destroyed everyone's arrangements and turned everything into chaos.

A chaotic situation can expose those who appear strong on the outside but are actually weak on the inside.

It seems that the time has come to test our true strength.

58. Reality and Illusion

The Lord of Southern Xinjiang came forward, accompanied by a large group of men, riding in a luxurious sedan shining with golden light, and charged towards the city gate with great momentum.

The princesses, dressed in rich attire, led the way, wearing all kinds of priceless jewels.

Huge giant clam pearls were inserted in her hair, and the jade pieces embellishing her dress jingled. The cost of the princess's appearance alone was more than 10 billion copper coins!

Obviously, the Lord of Southern Xinjiang came here deliberately to show off his wealth.

He wanted to use this method to crush the Tang Dynasty's momentum and gain the initiative in the negotiations!

He looked at the princesses confidently, and a smile of confidence rose at the corners of his mouth.

Then, keep moving forward.

He saw from afar three Tang envoys standing at the city gate.

They were completely different from the team from southern Xinjiang. They did not have any fancy clothes or carriages.

At first glance, the Witch King even felt that they were so plain that they made him look disdainful.

But after taking another look, the Witch King's gaze unconsciously lingered on the girl for a second longer.

Hmm? Something seems wrong...

Let's take another look and try...

It is an elegant temperament that comes to you like a lotus emerging from water.

The princesses of Southern Xinjiang who were around were emitting the light of jewels all over their bodies in the sun, but that light could not cover the faint green lotus no matter what!

The simple solid-colored silk dress is not at all ostentatious, but it brings the art of weaving and tailoring to the extreme.

The slightly tied-up hair was adorned with just the right amount of hair accessories - harmonious. By the way, the Lord of Southern Xinjiang finally found the most appropriate adjective to describe the girl.

There was no deliberate ostentation from head to toe, but her whole body revealed an imperceptible sense of harmony and comfort.

At first glance, it feels like a spring breeze, without any sense of incongruity of sharpness or ostentation, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes people feel overwhelmed.

That is a crushing of aesthetic concepts!

No jewelry can reflect this priceless concept! What is reflected there is the most simple and precious self-confidence of a woman in a country after the glitz is removed!

Her manners are dignified and her eyes are as gentle as clear gemstones.

Her delicate skin alone is a flawless treasure that makes all princesses feel ashamed!

It seemed that nothing on her body was a treasure, yet everything on her body was filled with treasures that the Southern Kingdom could not obtain even if it put all its efforts into it.

In comparison, the Lord of Southern Xinjiang suddenly felt that those princesses were too noisy. They were simply a group of unsophisticated nouveau riche, and their presence here was a complete light pollution!

Big failure!

This made the Witch King's heart even more gloomy, and he looked at Jiang Ke'er with murderous intent.

Unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth, Jiang Ke'er raised her knife in anger and took the initiative!

The dazzling knife light reflected on the Witch King's face, pointing straight to the tip of his nose!

The surrounding guards immediately cried out in panic: "How dare you! Are you trying to assassinate the Witch King?!"

It was the first time that the Witch King had seen such a fearless envoy. The first thing he did when meeting him was not to politely explain his identity and origin according to the procedures.

Instead, he drew his sword directly, showing his arrogance!

But Jiang Keer's pretty face was frosted, and her voice was full of undisguised blame.

"Lord Di was assassinated by an assassin in your army. What crime should you be charged with?"

"crime?"

The Witch King laughed. He smashed his heavy sword into the ground with a thud and said, "Two countries are at war. If we kill someone, we kill him. There is no sin in that!"

He was not a pushover, the death of Lord Di was a crime for the ministers and vassal states, but if he was tough, as an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, it would not be a crime.

This answer not only avoided Jiang Keer's accountability, but also expressed Nanjiang's murderous intention and put pressure on the Tang envoys. It was very clever.

"can."

Faced with the awkward atmosphere, Jiang Ke'er just smiled faintly.

She turned and left, saying without any reluctance, "Then fight."

"???"

Her swift and decisive actions caught the Witch King's think tank by surprise.

It was as if she was not here to negotiate at all, and the only reason she came here was to deliver a verbal message of war.

For smart people, too much hidden intelligence information can be seen in a brief confrontation.

But when they saw it now, they saw the arrogance and the anger caused by Lord Di's death, but they did not see any guilt at all.

Jiang Keer treated every step of the Witch King lightly. She had no fear at all of waging war against the Witch King, as if this war was still just a trivial matter for the Tang Dynasty.

It seemed as if they had enough confidence to swallow up Southern Xinjiang without even putting in much effort!

as if……

The think tanks suddenly shuddered.

A worse thought popped into their minds.

——It seemed that the death of Lord Di was just a reason for them to start a war!

If, just in case, just in case Lord Di was not assassinated by a third party...

What if all of this was a conspiracy by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! A conspiracy to swallow up Southern Xinjiang and seize the spiritual power spring? !

We have to consider this possibility.

If the Tang Dynasty's envoys showed any sign of cowardice, they would not speculate in this direction.

However, their confidence is so strong that it makes others feel ashamed of themselves.

It's just the right amount, without any deliberate pretense.

This makes it impossible to gauge their strength!

...We have to stop them and not let them go back!

If a fight really breaks out, given the other side's confidence, I'm afraid the Southern Kingdom will be in great trouble!

But...if you open your mouth, you'll lose!

Whoever hesitates first at this time proves that he lacks confidence and will be known for what he is doing.

"and many more!"

The Witch King finally spoke in shame.

He didn't want to and couldn't take the risk. He also wanted to slap this proud empire in the face, but he couldn't. He was not qualified to take the risk.

He must keep them and create opportunities for conversation. Even if the other party reveals a little flaw, he can reverse the situation in an instant.

If the Tang Dynasty is bluffing, then these envoys must keep every detail steady and not reveal any of their true situation, in order to win the negotiations.

All I have to do is to seize a little opportunity. Just a little bit will be enough to see through everything and send them to hell!

"Come here! Please invite the envoy to take a seat!"

The Witch King waved his hand, and the soldiers suddenly surrounded them, brutally blocking the way of Jiang Ke'er and the other two.

Jiang Ke'er turned her back to the Witch King imperceptibly and swallowed her saliva.

The soldiers who surrounded her made her feel relieved.

The risk of playing hard to get is too great. If the other party becomes really powerful, she will become a sinner for all eternity!

Of course, she had no confidence. She knew very well what the empire was like now. She would definitely not be able to defeat the monks' army in southern Xinjiang who had abundant spiritual power in a fight.

But precisely because of this, she had to stay calm.

You can't make a single wrong step, it's like walking on a tightrope, there is no room for error!

One wrong step and all your efforts will be wasted!
