Chapter 1595

It is what it is; one should bow their head when necessary.

But does this Living Yama really naively think that a mere letter could make him change his mind?

What a joke!

Therefore, in the lakeside pavilion, the Chu Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.

He was waiting for the letter from the Living Yama of Great Chu; he was waiting for Gao Yang to beg for mercy.

Just thinking about it made his heart race with excitement!

But then, a scene that stunned the Chu Emperor occurred.

Behold.

The soldier carefully unfolded his palm and handed it toward the Chu Emperor.

To the side, the young eunuch responsible for serving the Chu Emperor hurriedly took the letter up.

The Chu Emperor took the letter and opened it to look.

The next second, a look of shock and fury appeared on the Chu Emperor's face, visible to the naked eye.

His complexion darkened, visible to the naked eye.

"Damn it!"

"Where does this Great Qian Living Yama get the nerve? I am the Emperor of Great Chu, the master of the world. It would be more appropriate for the Qian Emperor to say this. What is this Great Qian Living Yama? Does he dare to threaten me?"

The Chu Emperor wore a look of fury, his entire body permeated with an aura of killing intent that seemed to have turned into substance.

He was extremely enraged and slapped the letter in his hand onto the table.

Seeing the Chu Emperor so enraged, the Great Chu Minister Sun Xiang felt a wave of dread in his heart.

He had originally thought much like the Chu Emperor, believing that the letter written by the Great Qian Living Yama was a plea, a request for mercy.

But now it seemed, that was far from the case...

"Your Majesty, may your subject take a look?"

Sun Xiang looked at the Chu Emperor and asked tentatively.

The Chu Emperor remained silent.

This attitude was an agreement, so Sun Xiang very tactfully picked up the envelope and opened it to look.

The next second,

He also wore a face full of shock.

Because within his line of sight, the content of this letter was not long, containing only nine large characters—Do not engage in marriage alliances; if you do, your nation will be destroyed!

Almost instantly, Sun Xiang's heart was filled with shock and horror.

Even his face, which had been calm and unruffled, suddenly rippled with waves.

He had long known the fame of the Great Qian Living Yama, and he knew that the reputation of the Great Qian's number one vicious strategist had spread throughout the world; even for him, it was like thunder in his ears.

But he had not expected Gao Yang to be so overbearing.

Do not engage in marriage alliances; if you do, your nation will be destroyed.

These short nine characters were laced with a terrifying killing intent that swept out in all directions, leaving one feeling suffocated.

Gao Yang had not begged for mercy, nor had he weighed the pros and cons.

There was only a single threat!

This threat, which could not have been more direct!

Do not engage in marriage alliances; if you do, your nation will be destroyed!

This was his warning to the Chu Emperor!

Sun Xiang subconsciously raised his head and looked at the Chu Emperor's expression.

The Chu Emperor was extremely enraged, his face full of indignation.

"This Living Yama, no matter how great his reputation or how illustrious his merit, he is still but a mere subject. How dare he speak to me like this?"

"I have traveled the world throughout my life; what great events have I not experienced? He thinks a mere two-sentence threat will make me abandon the idea of the tripartite alliance and not engage in the marriage? This Living Yama is thinking too highly of himself!"

"I insist on the marriage alliance; I insist on marrying Chu Qingluan to the Xiongnu. What can this Great Qian Living Yama do about it?"

"It just so happens that Chu Qingluan is to be married off, and I insist on making it grand and lively, to anger that Great Qian Living Yama to death. My Great Chu territory is even larger than Great Qian's; I want to see how this Living Yama will destroy my Great Chu!"

The Chu Emperor said, his face full of fury and his body radiating a chilling killing intent.

He had been an Imperial Prince since childhood, born superior, and had lived a life of luxury; naturally, he extremely disliked threats. Therefore, the moment this letter arrived, his first reaction was extreme rage.

This was an insult, a great insult!

It even gave rise to the feeling that the more Gao Yang threatened him, the more he wanted to do exactly that.

But Sun Xiang's expression changed.

He turned to the Chu Emperor and advised, "Your Majesty, you must not be so impulsive!"

Hearing this, the Chu Emperor suddenly turned back.

He said with a ferocious face, "Impulsive?"

"This Great Qian Living Yama is already defecating on my head, and you call this impulsive? I wish I could execute him immediately!" the Chu Emperor said with a face full of rage.

But Sun Xiang was solemn.

"Your Majesty, that is not the way to put it. Although this Great Qian Living Yama is not the Qian Emperor, his status in Great Qian is of vital importance."

"Furthermore, this Great Qian Living Yama is extremely cunning and ruthless in his methods. The Pei family had a deep foundation and was extremely powerful, yet they did not even last three days in the hands of the Living Yama!"

"Bamboo paper and movable type printing have shocked the entire world. In the world today, who does not respect the Living Yama by three parts? Moreover, besides bamboo paper and movable type printing, he also possesses gunpowder, as well as white jade sugar and soap, among other great weapons of mass destruction. His creativity is simply shocking."

"If not for him, why would the tripartite alliance need to support the Xiongnu to check and balance Great Qian? The mastermind behind this is none other than this Living Yama, Gao Yang!"

"Once such a person is offended, and he has even made up his mind to destroy Great Chu, this is undoubtedly a huge threat. Who knows what vicious methods he might have? My Great Chu currently needs time to restore its national strength; Your Majesty must not be so impulsive!"

Upon hearing this, the Chu Emperor's pair of majestic eyes swept over him.

He raised his voice and said: "So, the Minister's meaning is that I should endure it and do as this Living Yama wishes? I should not engage in the marriage alliance? Then where would my majesty be?"

Sun Xiang immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, you wrong me!"

"Your subject would not dare!"

"Your subject is only doing this for Great Chu, for the eternal hegemony of my Great Chu, so I dared to remind Your Majesty, but your subject has absolutely no other intentions!"

The Chu Emperor's expression improved.

Sun Xiang knew the Chu Emperor too well.

The Chu Emperor appeared domineering, but in reality, he was extremely worried inside...
