Chapter 158

"Is Ying Zheng willing to set aside his pride to form an alliance with my Baiyue?"

"That is truly a huge joke."

"Ying Zheng wants to destroy Baiyue day and night."

"To make the rear of Great Qin completely stable."

Yan Yan Lingji's tone and expression were filled with disdain.

If it were the previous her, she might not have seen this point.

However, during the time she spent with Ying Ying Ziyu, Ying Ying Ziyu had carefully and comprehensively taught her the mindset and vision a ruler should possess.

Therefore, when looking at problems now, Yan Yan Lingji could often see the key point directly.

What's more, Great Qin had once sent troops to conquer the land of Baiyue.

And had successfully occupied Nanyue.

If it weren't for the need to guard against the Xiongnu, Great Han, and the other countries of the Nine Provinces attacking from behind,

Ying Zheng would not have only occupied Nanyue.

He would definitely have conquered all of Baiyue.

It could be said that there was deep hatred between Baiyue and Great Qin.

Yan Yan Lingji fundamentally did not believe what Yanyan had just said.

Yanyan's expression remained as usual, keeping calm, and he said: "Great Qin and Baiyue did indeed have conflicts in the past."

"This marriage alliance is also to resolve the issues between the two sides."

"To show sincerity, His Majesty the Emperor has even brought out his most favored Eighteenth Imperial Prince, Hu Hai, to marry into Baiyue, in order to consolidate the alliance between you and me."

After hearing what Yanyan said, the Six Sword Slaves felt great admiration.

"No wonder Lord Zhao Gao wanted to let Lord Yanyan take full responsibility for this matter."

"If it were any one of us, it would be impossible to speak to this extent."

"I just don't know how much this Baiyue Queen will believe."

Zhen Gang thought to himself.

The Six Sword Slaves still maintained a combat posture ready to strike at any time.

The places where the six of them stood were very clever, all aimed at the vital points of Yan Yan Lingji and Hong Hong Lian.

If the negotiation was not successful, being able to leave smoothly was naturally a good thing.

If they could not leave smoothly, they would naturally have to fight.

After listening, Yan Yan Lingji sneered, "Since you say you came under Ying Zheng's order, then fine, do you have an imperial edict?"

She had already seen that Yanyan was lying.

It was just that she did not intend to expose him.

Since she wanted to pass the time, she naturally had to toy with these running dogs of the Net.

Hong Hong Lian also saw Yan Yan Lingji's thoughts, so she stopped pouting angrily on the side and did not speak.

Having lived with Yan Yan Lingji for many years,

they were already very familiar with each other.

When one said a word or did a thing, the other could know what was in their heart.

Yanyan had long guessed that Yan Yan Lingji would say this, and he had already thought of the rhetoric and methods to deal with it.

"His Majesty sent us here without giving an imperial edict."

"Instead, he wanted to first see your attitude toward this matter, Queen."

Yanyan said lightly.

Yan Yan Lingji snorted coldly and said, "Boring."

"I thought you would find some fun reason or excuse to fool me."

"I didn't expect it to be such a cliché statement."

"This Queen suddenly has no desire to continue toying with you."

Yan Yan Lingji sneered, and a ball of raging fire appeared in her hand.

Seeing this, Hong Hong Lian flicked the sword in her hand, and terrifying internal energy was released, enveloping Yanyan and the Six Sword Slaves.

Yanyan and the Six Sword Slaves' expressions changed drastically.

"Queen, please stay calm, we really have no malice!"

Yanyan hurriedly explained.

Whether it was the flame in Yan Yan Lingji's hand or the sword intent and internal energy released by Hong Hong Lian, both made Yanyan feel the threat of death.

He did not doubt at all that any attack from these two could easily kill the seven of them.

The Six Sword Slaves' expressions also changed suddenly.

Originally, they thought that relying on the six of them, plus Yanyan,

even if the negotiation failed, they could still leave smoothly.

Now, having witnessed the true strength of Yan Yan Lingji and Hong Hong Lian, the Six Sword Slaves no longer had such thoughts.

The huge gap in strength was right there.

They simply had no ability to leave Baiyue safely.

"No malice?"

"What kind of thing is Hu Hai?"

"He is worthy of marrying a woman of my Baiyue!"

"Could it be that you really think this Queen doesn't know your purpose?"

"It's nothing more than Zhao Gao wanting to use this to strengthen his and Hu Hai's power."

"In this way, there would be a greater chance of ascending to the throne of the Great Qin Emperor in the future."

"What you are obeying is also Zhao Gao's order."

"What kind of bullshit 'Ying Zheng wants to form an alliance with my Baiyue'."

"If he really wanted an alliance, would this Queen not receive any news at all?"

"Would Ying Zheng not send people from the imperial court? How could it be your turn, the Net!"

The look Yan Yan Lingji gave Yanyan was as if she were looking at a clown.

Yanyan's expression also became very ugly.

He originally thought everything was under control, but he didn't expect his little schemes to have been seen through by the other party long ago.

They had been toying with him the whole time.

Thinking of this, Yanyan was no longer calm, and his expression became ferocious.

"Die!"

Yan Yan Lingji extended her finger and pointed lightly.

The raging fire split into seven and rushed toward Yanyan and the Six Sword Slaves.

"Run, report the situation to Lord Zhao Gao!"

Yanyan shouted loudly, taking out his sword to rush up and block Yan Yan Lingji's attack.

Seeing this, the Six Sword Slaves did not linger and scattered to escape in six directions.

They did not ask for all of them to escape; as long as one could escape, it would be enough.

Seeing this, Hong Hong Lian put away her sword and laughed disdainfully.

"Just by relying on you, you want to escape under Sister Yan Yan Lingji's attack?"

"What wishful thinking, you idiots!"

Hong Hong Lian's expression was full of mockery.

After Yan Yan Lingji launched the fire attack, she did not strike again.

She was a Land Immortal; if she needed to strike twice to deal with a few Grandmasters, it would be an insult to her.

Yanyan rushed to the fire ball and raised his hand to strike with his sword.

The raging fire was directly split into two.

Just when he wanted to strike again,

the two balls of fire fell onto Yanyan from two directions.

"Damn it!"

Yanyan hurriedly patted his body, wanting to extinguish the flames.
