"Lord Marquis! We have no choice but to go to the northern borders." General Mo said in the meeting hall.
"Everyone, is the northern border really going to side with the northern border…Now that the Marquis of Zhenbei has torn the imperial edict, this matter will not end just like that. The imperial court will definitely take action.”A scholar said.
"This matter is not urgent. We will discuss it after the return of the Northern Borderline.”The Central Prefecture Marquis spoke.
"Lord Marquis is right. If the Northern Borderline is truly strong enough to contend against the Tianwu Dynasty, so what if we side with the Northern Borderline?”The one who spoke was Gao Zhijin. His previous proposal to capture Lin Qing Yu had gained the attention of Northern Battlefront Marquis.
"That's right…in this world, strength speaks for itself.”This person was a high-ranking official in the cabinet. Previously, he had tried his best to stop them from defecting to the northern border. However, after seeing the strength of the Feather Army, his attitude had undergone a huge change.
"Yes, I am." The Marquis of Zhongzhou sighed." I originally thought that the ones who had the right to speak in this world were the Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters. However, the Northern Borderline has really taught me a lesson today.”
" That's right. Until now, we all thought that the people of the Northern Borderline had unparalleled strategies, extraordinary tactics, fearlessness of death, and many people, so that they could defeat the strong. Now it seems that the Northern Borderline's might was purely because they were too strong..."
At this moment, the attitude of the Central Prefecture's Marquis and his cabinet towards the Northern Borderline had already undergone a 180-degree turn.
……
At the same time.
The news of the Northguard Marquis tearing up the imperial edict had already reached the Tianwu Dynasty. At this moment, Tian Wuheng had returned. The first thing he did after returning was to report to the court!
However, Wu Heng of Sky Martial had been beaten up quite badly. His thigh bone was cracked, so when he went to court, he was carried to court.
"Young Prince, what happened? You went to the northern border as a special envoy, how did you end up in such a miserable situation?”The Right Prime Minister cried out in shock.
The empress frowned slightly when she saw Tian Wuheng's expression.
"Your Majesty! The Northern Territory's Northern Battlefront Marquis was extremely ferocious!”As soon as Tian Wuheng went to court, he immediately started crying.
"I went to the northern border as a special envoy to deliver the decree, but he ignored me and left me hanging. I can only go to the Northern Battlefront Marquis the next day.”Tian Wuheng said angrily,
"I tolerated it, but when the imperial edict was issued, the Northguard Marquis tore it apart with his bare hands, and…and he killed my guard! He even wanted to kill me, but someone persuaded him to let me go. Even so, he still beat me up!”
Tian Wuheng's words infuriated Minister Tian.
"Lawless! This was simply lawless! The Northguard Marquis has gone too far!" Minister Tian roared," Your Majesty, this Northguard Marquis must have the intention to rebel. Not only did he tear up the imperial edict, but he also dared to hit the envoy…There are still external thieves. If internal trouble arises, the Tianwu Dynasty will be in danger!"”
"That's right, we must first settle our internal affairs. The Northguard Marquis dared to tear apart the imperial edict with his bare hands, which means he doesn't have any respect for our Tianwu Dynasty! If we start a war with the barbarians, demons, and dwarves, it's hard to guarantee that the Northguard Marquis won't rebel!”
"Not bad! I also agree to crusade against the Marquis of Zhenbei. This person has committed a heinous crime. If he is not eliminated, he will become a future trouble!”
The empress sat on the throne and frowned slightly. She lowered her head and looked at the memorial in her hands.
This memorial came from the northern border! It recorded in detail the process of the Northern Borderline defeating Tian Wuheng and also explained in detail the importance of the Northern Barbarian City.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall,""Report! The barbarian envoy requests an audience!"
"Barbarians?"
The empress frowned slightly.
"Announce!"
The Barbarian Envoy was very tall. He exuded a powerful aura, which made many people in the imperial court shocked.
"Greetings, Tianwu Great Empress!" The envoy was very respectful.
"No need for formalities. May I know why you're here?"
"I am here on the orders of the Barbarian King. I heard that the Tianwu Dynasty is willing to return the Northern Barbarian City. The Barbarian King is very happy and is willing to sign a treaty to return the 36 cities of the Eastern Border.”
"Oh?"
The empress raised her eyebrows and took a look at the contract…The barbarians had to admit that they had made a huge concession in the contract. It seemed that they had made it clear that they only wanted Northern Barbarian City!
"Tianwu Great Empress, if you agree, how about we sign the contract immediately?”
" We'll discuss this matter again…" The empress hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Empress, we barbarians have also heard about what happened in the Northern Borderline. We know that the Marquis of Northguard is unwilling to return the Northern Barbarian City, but we barbarians can wait. After all, the Northern Borderline is the territory of the Tianwu Dynasty.”
" That's why we're willing to sign a three-year peace agreement with the Tianwu Dynasty." The Barbarian Envoy smiled." As for the handover of Northern Barbarian City, we can wait!"”
The empress frowned slightly.
Many of the officials in the court also realized that something was wrong!
This was obviously a tactic of the barbarians to kill with a borrowed knife! But this was an open scheme!
"Your Majesty, since the barbarians are willing to sign a peace treaty, why don't we sign it?”The Senior Prime Minister said.
"The barbarians are cunning. Your Majesty, please think twice. This is a plan to kill with a borrowed knife!”Left Prime Minister Sun Qi immediately said.
"I think this is the barbarians 'sincerity to ease the tension!”An old official said.
The Barbarian Envoy smiled and said," That's right. This is our sincerity. As a sign of our sincerity, we are willing to release one-third of the prisoners and return them to Wangdong City immediately!”
"With Wangdong City as a barrier, you don't have to worry about us breaking the contract. You can stop us in the eastern border and not let us advance!”
Finally, the Tianwu Female Empress nodded after the Barbarian Special Envoy kept listing out his conditions!
"Good! Since that's the case, Minister Zuo, sign the treaty with the Barbarians on behalf of the Tianwu Dynasty!”
Sure enough, a hint of joy flashed across the Barbarian Envoy's eyes after he heard this!
They didn't care about the 36 cities of the Eastern Border or the captives. They only cared about the Northern Border! He only cared about Northern Barbarian City!
As long as the Tianwu Dynasty was willing to crusade against the Northguard Marquis, they would sign the peace treaty for a hundred years, let alone a three-year peace treaty!
