The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 449 - 445: Jun Ning, Our Contest Has Only Just Begun
What the hell to consider!
In just a few sentences, the efforts of Dongchu Kingdom preparing for war over the years were swept away. As if all the efforts made by the court officials and the Crown Prince to the common people of Dongchu Kingdom to prevent the nation from perishing were fake, unreal...
What a joke.
Hehe!!
The three people from Dongchu Kingdom hearing this all clenched their fists, wanting to beat someone up.
The temperature in the air dropped a few degrees instantly, becoming a bit chilling and frightening.
The people from Bei Xia did not notice this subtle change at all, and Li Yao kept rattling on incessantly.
"As long as Dongchu Kingdom and our Bei Xia form a marriage alliance, in the future, we can open trade markets between our two countries. The warhorses of Bei Xia can be sold to you at a low price."
"Bei Xia can also protect you from the attacks and invasions of surrounding countries."
"In the future, your Dongchu Kingdom will no longer be the weakest country among the nations, lacking backup and support."
"Your Dongchu Kingdom will stand like Bei Xia, at the pinnacle of the nations, looking down on them, commanding them, becoming the most powerful country."
Hehe!
The way Li Yao spoke, it seemed Dongchu Kingdom could gain numerous benefits by relying on them.
Little did he know, Dongchu Kingdom won a great victory in this battle, already standing above Bei Xia by a large margin.
The benefits promised by Bei Xia are those that Dongchu Kingdom already attained without needing to rely on them.
Li Yao’s rambling placed him on the side of strength only to confuse and distort the truth, trying to keep Dongchu Kingdom’s once bent-back submission forever bent, so they could rely on Dongchu Kingdom bowing to them and continue sitting in their strong country’s seat.
They were treating the envoys of Dongchu Kingdom as fools.
While the envoys of Dongchu Kingdom were speechless, they didn’t bother to hide the anger in their hearts. Each of them clenched their fists, ready to beat Li Yao once he was done with his nonsense.
Li Yao looked at their clenched fists, about to continue speaking, but the words turned into, "Calm down, let’s talk this through."
"Are you finished?" Qi Xiao asked fiercely.
Looking at the fist waved in front of him by Qi Xiao, Li Yao stammered, "Almost... almost done, done talking..."
"Alright then, it’s my turn now to express my opinion."
With that, a fist as hard as stone smashed onto Li Yao’s mouth, causing him to spit blood instantly, completely stupefied.
He thought, known as the silver tongue for years, being able to wrap people around his finger no matter what he said, but why did Dongchu Kingdom not buy what he was selling?
Could it be something was wrong with what he said?
It’s not the words that are the problem; it’s that he started from the wrong position.
This time, Dongchu Kingdom won the war and had enough confidence in negotiations, yet Li Yao failed to understand his situation and used past tactics, naturally, no one would buy it.
Especially Qi Xiao, born of a tiger father, no weak son, better at handling matters than his father Qi Qin.
He fiercely stepped on Li Yao’s chest, scornfully said, "Now that you’ve lost, Bei Xia, accept your defeat and keep your tail between your legs."
Qi Xiao, filled with anger, "Stop putting on airs because you no longer have the qualification, nor the foundation to do so."
"Defeated like a dog, you only fit to live under others."
"Dare to utter that our Dongchu Kingdom was luckily victorious, truly shameless; what a nerve to say anything."
"But young master here doesn’t see your face as that big!"
Hearing this, Li Yao felt something bad was up inside.
Sure enough, Qi Xiao mercilessly pummeled Li Yao’s face, "Since you like a big face, young master wouldn’t mind putting in the effort to make it big."
Qi Xiao proceeded to fiercely beat Li Yao.
Soon, Li Yao’s refined face was covered with bruises, his once bright, talkative eyes now swollen and dark, resembling panda eyes.
Both Ye Ying and the mighty military general didn’t hold back either. Under Qi Xiao’s lead, both threw punches at Li Yao.
Beaten by the trio, Li Yao felt near death, pleading, "Help, save me!"
He hoped for Fei Yuque’s help, but evidently, the unbothered Fei Yuque, behind him, casually sitting, fiddling with his fingers, looked at a screen not far from the tent.
Staring long at the screen decorated with an ink landscape painting, seemingly trying to find beauty in it.
Dodging the fists, Li Yao glanced at Fei Yuque; seeing Fei’s indifference, he tearfully begged, "Marshal Fei, I beg you, save me! If they keep beating me, I’ll be done for!"
"You got yourself into this mess, how’s that my business?"
Fei Yuque maintained a detached attitude, showing no intent of rescuing him.
Once satisfied with beating Li Yao nearly to death and venting their anger, the trio spared his life.
Dragged by a servant to sit on the Taishi Chair beside Fei Yuque, Li Yao continued with negotiations.
But now Li Yao, beaten until dizzy and disoriented, even sitting felt unbearably painful.
Qi Xiao also glanced at the screen not far, then took a sip from a teacup, and asked Li Yao, "Now do you submit?"
Li Yao dared not refuse, nodding vigorously, "Submitted, submitted..."
"Willing to talk sincerely now?" the military general asked.
"Willing, willing."
Ye Ying added, "About the previous demands we made, what do you say..."
Li Yao didn’t dare refute, "I agree to everything, just let me go back, I’ll persuade the emperor to act according to your demands."
"Just verbal promise isn’t enough," Ye Ying presented a blank document, "it’s better to have everything in black and white! Once you finish writing, you can leave."
Li Yao hesitated.
His earlier words were purely to find an escape from the situation, not even processed in his brain. How could he possibly want it written down in black and white?
Yet refusing to write would have fists targeting him again.
He didn’t want to be that envoy beaten to death after the battle was ceased.
It’d be too humiliating if news spread; he wouldn’t be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Choking with emotion, he said, "I’ll write, I’ll write..."
Obediently, Li Yao wrote what needed to be written, signed, and sealed, ready to leave with Fei Yuque.
Fei Yuque showed no objection, nor resistance to the matter of him marrying into Dongchu Kingdom. However, before leaving the tent with the document admitting defeat, Fei Yuque, looking at the screen again, inexplicably said, "Jun Ning, our contest isn’t over, everything has just begun."
