Outside the northern borders.
A team of special envoys was heading to the northern border. They were travel-worn and anxious.
Being a special envoy was originally a glorious thing, but now this high official couldn't smile no matter how hard he tried.
After all, the young prince who was the previous envoy had already been beaten to a pulp!
In the Special Envoy's heart, the Northern Borderline was simply a cruel and dangerous place. He no longer looked forward to being welcomed in glory. He only hoped that he could return to the Tianwu Dynasty unscathed.
"Great Envoy!" A guard of the Tianwu Dynasty said,""There's a troop of several hundred people approaching us from behind. According to the guard, it's the army of the Northern Borderline.”
"Northguard Marquis is here too? In that case, there was no need to go to the northern border!”"Send a guard to inform the Northguard Marquis that I want to read out the imperial edict!"”
"Yes, sir!"
The envoy team stopped and waited for Lin Qing Yu to arrive.
Soon, Lin Qing Yu and the Central Prefecture Marquis arrived.
"Are you the Northguard Marquis?" When the envoy saw the troops of the Northern Battlefront Marquis, he immediately went to ask. His tone was not arrogant at all, but rather, a hint of humility.
"That's right!" Lin Qing Yu said indifferently.
"I'm the special envoy of the Tianwu Dynasty.”
At this point, the envoy immediately began to read out the imperial edict.
" By the will of the heavens, the Empress has issued an edict. The Barbarians, the Monster Race, and the Dwarves have joined forces to attack the Eastern Border, resulting in the loss of the 36 cities. Today, the Tianwu Dynasty has reached a settlement with the Barbarians. The Barbarians are willing to return the 36 cities to the Eastern Border. Please return the North Barbarian City to the Barbarians. I hope that the Northguard Marquis will take the overall situation into consideration and pity the people of the Eastern Border.”
Lin Qing Yu calmly looked at the envoy before him and slowly walked towards him.
"What…what are you doing? Don't do anything rash, Northguard Marquis." When the envoy saw Lin Qing Yu walking towards him, he immediately cowered.
However, before he could take a few steps back, Lin Qing Yu had already arrived beside him.
"I'm here to receive the decree, why are you withdrawing?" Lin Qing Yu said indifferently, then looked at the envoy with disdain.
"Accept the decree? You want to accept the edict?" The envoy was delighted. If the Northern Marquis accepted the edict, he would have made a great contribution.
However, before the envoy could be happy, Lin Qing Yu tore the imperial edict into pieces.
"How dare you tear the imperial edict!" The envoy's heart skipped a beat.
" You can go now…" Lin Qing Yu said indifferently,""Don't block the way."
As soon as he said this, the envoy quickly made way for him. The Marquis of Zhongzhou had seen everything...
"That's…"
After the envoy and the others made way, they saw the Central Prefecture Marquis in the crowd.
"Central Prefecture Marquis? He actually went to the northern border with the Marquis of Zhenbei? Could it be that the Central Plains has sided with the Northern Borderline?"
The envoy's pupils constricted slightly!
If the Central Plains were to side with the Northern Borderline, then the Tianwu Dynasty's two million troops would not be able to station their troops in the Central Plains if they wanted to intimidate the Northern Borderline. In that case, they could only station their troops in Yunzhou, which was further away from the Northern Borderline. Their deterrence would be greatly reduced...
After all, the strength of the Central Plains was not to be underestimated. Once the Central Plains fell to the Northern Borderline, it would be a joke for the two million troops to deter the Northern Borderline.
"This matter must be reported to His Majesty immediately! This is of great importance!" The envoy thought to himself, But…why did the Central Plains side with the Northern Borderline? This was impossible! The Central Prefecture Marquis is a descendant of the royal family."
The envoy could not figure it out. In his eyes, the Central Plains was powerful. They had 1.5 million elite soldiers and more than 100 grandmasters and great grandmasters. They were comparable to the Tianwu Dynasty's deterrent army this time!
At this moment.
After Lin Qing Yu and the Central Prefecture Marquis left, Lin Qing Yu smiled and said,"
"Marquis of the Central Prefecture, the envoy saw you and me going to the Northern Borderline this time. They will probably think that the Central Prefecture wants to ally with our Northern Borderline. If you go back and explain now, the envoy should be able to understand.”
The Central Prefecture Marquis's pupils constricted, and he smiled.""You must be joking, Northguard Marquis. The Central Plains and the Northern Borderline are as close as brothers. I'm just paying a routine visit. Since I've agreed to visit the Northern Borderline, how can I retreat halfway?”
The words of the Central Prefecture Marquis were basically a clear indication of his attitude.
……
Northern Borderline.
When the Central Prefecture Marquis arrived at the northern border, his face was filled with disbelief!
He knew about the Northern Borderline. He had been here a long time ago. It was very barren. Although he had heard that the Northern Borderline had developed very well this year, he thought that it was the capital of the Northern Borderline, Yu County.
However, the moment he stepped into the northern border, he was a little dumbfounded. This was only the periphery, but there were actually many pavilions, heavy traffic, and vendors everywhere.
Was this really the northern border? The degree of prosperity was actually far greater than that of the Central Plains? Moreover, the roads here were connected in all directions…
"Central Prefecture Marquis, how do you feel about the infrastructure of our northern borders?”"Most of the taxes in the Central Prefecture are used for infrastructure. If the Marquis of the Central Prefecture is interested, we can discuss cooperation and help the various cities in the Central Prefecture build infrastructure.”
The Central Prefecture Marquis smiled embarrassedly.
"The Green Jade City in the periphery is actually so prosperous. The infrastructure of the northern border is admirable.”
Just as everyone was chatting merrily, the people of Green Jade City saw Lin Qing Yu and immediately said enthusiastically,"It's Lord Marquis!"
"Lord Marquis has returned?"
"Lord Marquis has worked hard!" The people here were very enthusiastic. The Central Prefecture's Marquis and his cabinet members could see that these people respected the Northguard Marquis from the bottom of their hearts.
"The prestige of the Northguard Marquis in the northern border is no small matter.”The Central Prefecture Marquis thought to himself, I'm far inferior to him.”
The Central Prefecture's Marquis was very clear about what this prestige meant. If a war really broke out, Lin Qing Yu could easily mobilize the people of the Northern Borderline to recruit a large number of troops.
At this moment, a familiar figure flew over. It was Fang Rui.
"Lord Marquis!"
"Speak!"
"The first legion of the Feather Army is about to return. The triumphant banquet of the Feather Army has been prepared!”
"Good!"
"Central Prefecture's Marquis, let's hurry up, shall we?" Lin Qing Yu smiled.”
"Good!" The eyes of the Central Prefecture Marquis flashed with a bright light. He was finally going to see the legendary 1st legion of the Feather Army. He really wanted to know if the 1st legion of the Feather Army was as terrifying as the rumors said!
