Chapter 1925

At this time.

Outside the palace, the voice of the Imperial Guard rang out.

"A personal letter from the Yan Emperor?"

The Chu Emperor frowned, but still said, "Present it!"

Soon, the Chu Emperor's gaze scanned the letter, and his complexion changed again and again.

The Chu Prime Minister was curious and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the Yan Emperor's business?"

The Chu Emperor's eyes flickered, and he said, "The Yan Emperor detailed the reasons for the rift between the Living Yama and the Empress of Da Qian, and invited me... to perform a good show together!"

"A good show?" The Chu Prime Minister's heart skipped a beat.

The Chu Emperor looked over and said, word by word: "He wants to send an envoy straight to Changancheng of Da Qian, with 100,000 taels of gold, ten bushels of North Sea luminous pearls, a hundred fine sweat-blood horses, and a hundred carts of Yanyun treasures, to exchange for the Living Yama to enter Great Yan, to be appointed as Imperial Preceptor, with a rank equal to a Prince of the Blood!"

"Hiss!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Chu Prime Minister gasped, his scalp tingling.

"This plan... is so vicious!"

"It is indeed vicious. It's as if they are afraid Gao Yang won't die and the Empress of Da Qian won't go crazy!" the Chu Emperor said gloomily.

"Then what does Your Majesty intend to do?"

The Chu Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, looking toward the direction of Changancheng, a playful look of watching a show appearing on his face: "How can I be absent from such excitement?"

"Then... let this fire burn even brighter!"

The Chu Emperor said loudly, "Someone, pass my order!"

"Immediately send an envoy, holding my national letter, and ride fast to Da Qian. I want to exchange 100,000 taels of silver, a hundred boxes of rare treasures, plus the three cities of Yunzhou, Cangzhou, and Baizhou, for the Living Yama to return to Chu!"

"As long as the Living Yama is willing to come, I will grant him the position of Imperial Preceptor, with honor... equal to a Prince of the Blood!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Boom!

The palace instantly exploded!

Exchanging three cities, plus 100,000 taels of silver and a hundred boxes of rare treasures, just for one person.

Looking through history, it has existed since ancient times!

This is simply a sky-high price!

"If the Empress of Da Qian truly agrees, what should we do?"

The Chu Emperor smiled and said, "The Empress of Da Qian is not a fool; she won't let him go."

"But if she truly loses her mind..." The Chu Emperor said this, his eyes bursting with astonishing determination and desire, "Then I will truly give it. As long as the Living Yama arrives in the Chu Kingdom, even if it empties the national treasury, I will not hesitate!"

"The Living Yama alone... is far better than these worldly objects!"

When the Chu Prime Minister heard this, his heart was shaken.

But he could not refute a single word.

Because even he had to admit one thing: the Living Yama... is worth it!

"..."

Qi Kingdom.

Imperial Palace.

"It's chaotic, it's chaotic!"

"Damn it, the whole world is in chaos!"

"Someone, summon Xiao Qing. I have important matters for her to do!"

After receiving the letter, the Qi Emperor paced back and forth in the palace, laughing heartily, and gave the order loudly!

Soon.

Xiao Qing arrived and bowed.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a graceful figure, but her brows were frozen with an inescapable coldness and deep-seated hatred.

"Xiao Qing, take a look at this letter!"

The Qi Emperor was tall, his whole body showing the majesty of an emperor.

Compared to the political instability of the Yan Kingdom and the empty national strength of the Chu Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom was thriving, and the situation was excellent.

After Xiao Qing finished reading the letter, her face was shocked, and her beautiful face was full of disbelief.

That pair of dog-man and dog-woman, the Da Qian monarch and subject who caused the deaths of her son and husband, had actually broken off relations?

Seeing that the Yan Emperor wanted Chu and Qi to send envoys, and the Xiongnu Great Chanyu to send troops to attack Da Qian, she became excited again.

"Your Majesty, is our Qi going to move?" Xiao Qing asked excitedly.

The Qi Emperor's dragon eyes were majestic, and his golden dragon robes were filled with an overbearing voice.

"Move! Why not move?"

"It's satisfying!"

"It's satisfying!"

"This formation is getting bigger and bigger. Yan and Chu are sending envoys, wanting to exchange a sky-high price for the Living Yama. The Xiongnu are restless, wanting to send troops to invade the border, spreading wild words, and driving a wedge in their relationship!"

"Our Qi must move, of course. No matter who wants to deal with the Living Yama, our Qi should help out!"

"I will offer ten cities, plus 100,000 taels of gold, ten thousand-year-old coral trees from the Western Regions, and a hundred boxes of rare treasures, and promise him the position of Prime Minister!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

"Ten cities?"

Xiao Qing looked up in astonishment, her face full of shock.

That bastard—how does he deserve it?

She spoke anxiously, but was suddenly interrupted by the Qi Emperor.

"I will entrust this matter to you entirely. I specially permit you to use all the secret agents within Da Qian, and you must dig deep into Changancheng!"

He stared at Xiao Qing, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the human heart: "This Living Yama of Da Qian is unparalleled in wisdom. Being heartbroken at this moment is a great opportunity to win him over. I know you have a connection with the Living Yama of Da Qian."

"This person concerns the national destiny of our Qi and our eternal hegemony. This is also the lifelong wish of Xian'er!"

"But I promise you, after the matter is accomplished, I will have his entire family slaughtered, and you can do whatever you want to him!"

Xiao Qing buried her head deeply, and her cold voice rang out, "Xiao Qing... thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Xiao Qing knows the gravity of the situation!"

The Qi Emperor's dragon eyes fell on Xiao Qing, and he said lightly, "The Empress of Da Qian will not let him go. Winning him over... is extremely difficult. Try to get the secret recipes for gunpowder and strong liquor. If you can't get them, then try every possible way to take his life!"

"Mr. Chen, this person, at a glance, has the talent of a king's assistant. You should take him with you as a great help!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Qing nodded in agreement and soon retreated.

Not long after.

A carriage drove out of the Qi Imperial City, and under the escort of ten Qi secret guards, it headed straight for Changancheng of Da Qian.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Qing had a beautiful face. She coiled her hair high, making her neck look slender, and every movement was filled with an unspeakable mature charm.

She lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked toward the direction of Changancheng, her eyes filled with monstrous anger, the pleasure of revenge, but also a bit of sighing.

"Changan... Gao Yang... I really didn't expect that I, Xiao Qing, would return in this way! That's fine, new hatreds and old grudges, we will settle them all there together!"

Beside her.

Mr. Chen was also numb.

His face was bitter, and he muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that I would return to Da Qian, and have to trade blows with the Living Yama again!"

"Again?"

Xiao Qing frowned when she heard this.

"Mr. Chen should be trading blows with the Living Yama for the first time, right?" Xiao Qing was suspicious, her face full of curiosity.

Mr. Chen's heart tightened, and he inexplicably thought of Prince Rong, whose entire family was executed, and Wang Zhong, who was tricked into losing his wife and soldiers.

However, his voice was very calm, showing full confidence: "Not before, this is... the first time."

"But it doesn't matter. When we arrive in Changan, I will naturally take action!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing squeezed out a cold smile on her face. She said fiercely to Mr. Chen, "That's good. Mr. Chen, you don't know, I have... suffered a huge loss at the hands of this bastard. Mr. Chen must avenge me!"

"I don't want him to return to Qi, I just want him to die... die without a burial place!"

Xiao Qing's voice was filled with immense hatred.

Mr. Chen also smiled, but it was very bitter. Suffered a huge loss...

Saying this, who hasn't?
