The welcome banquet was still going on, but at the same time, an uninvited guest broke into the Feather County.
It was none other than the special envoy from the Tianwu Dynasty!
In reality, the Tianwu Dynasty had already realized that one imperial edict might be useless, so they issued twelve imperial edicts in succession. The twelve envoys carried them to the northern border one after another.
The main purpose of these 12 imperial edicts was to show the attitude of the Tianwu Dynasty. It was also equivalent to courtesy!
As for the last imperial edict, the thirteenth imperial edict, it would not be issued so quickly. This was because when the thirteen imperial edict was issued, it would be when the Tianwu Dynasty's army was near!
It was no longer just courtesy, but a threat! If he did not accept this last imperial edict, it would be equivalent to falling out with the Tianwu Dynasty. At that time, the Tianwu Dynasty would launch a punitive expedition!
"Lord Marquis, the Tianwu Dynasty's special envoy has arrived! Another group of people." Fang Rui whispered.
"Got it!" Lin Qing Yu nodded.”
Fang Rui retreated and soon, the envoy followed Fang Rui to Lin Qingyu's grandstand.
"Northguard Marquis, I'm the special envoy of the Tianwu Dynasty. I'm here to issue an imperial edict!”This time, he had learned from the experience of the previous envoy. After coming, he did not waste any time and spoke directly.
"Read!"
Lin Qing Yu did not even raise his head and continued to savor the delicacies.
The special envoy did not dare to be dissatisfied with Lin Qing Yu's attitude. After all, the young prince's mistakes were a warning.
" 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.”The envoy immediately read it out.
After hearing this, Lin Qing Yu calmly beckoned at the envoy.
"Ah?" The envoy was confused. Then, he suddenly realized that the Marquis of Zhenbei had asked him to send the imperial edict over.
This kind of attitude could be said to be contempt for the dynasty, but it could be said to be disrespectful and rebellious.
After receiving the imperial edict, Lin Qing Yu tore it up on the spot without saying a word!
This scene caused countless people of Zhenbei Marquis and Feather County to cheer!
"The Tianwu Dynasty wants us to cede Northern Barbarian City.”Lin Qing Yu asked the soldiers and citizens of Feather County.
"I won't cede territory!"
"No!"
The commoners and soldiers said.
"Did you hear that?" Lin Qing Yu looked at the envoy.
"I…I heard it!" The envoy's forehead was covered in cold sweat." I'm just here to deliver the imperial edict, Marquis of Zhenbei. Please don't make things difficult for me."”
Originally, being the envoy of the Tianwu Dynasty would bring honor to their ancestors. However, being the envoy to deliver the imperial edict to the Northern Borderline made these people tremble with fear and trepidation…This time, the envoy was really afraid.
Especially when he saw the soldiers and the people's agitated expressions, he was afraid that he would be torn apart by these people.
"Still not getting lost? Wait for me to send you off?" Lin Qing Yu snorted coldly.
"Get lost…I'll get lost now!"
The envoy scrambled away.
After the envoy left, the welcome banquet continued.
However, the banquet did not last long before the third envoy arrived!
This time, Lin Qing Yu was even more lazy to talk nonsense and said directly,"Bring me the imperial edict!"
The envoy did not dare to disobey and quickly handed over the imperial edict. Lin Qing Yu glanced at it and tore it apart without saying a word!
"You can leave now."
"Yes, sir!" The envoy quickly left…
The Central Prefecture's Marquis saw everything and knew that the Northguard Marquis was ready to turn hostile. It could even be said that he was ready to turn hostile!
"Northguard Marquis, if there are 13 imperial edicts, the first 12 should be delivered in a dense stream…The key is the 13th imperial decree. Once it is torn apart, it will be equivalent to declaring war with the Tianwu Dynasty!”
"I know." Lin Qing Yu's expression was very relaxed. He did not take this matter to heart at all.
"Marquis of Zhongzhou, do you think it's inappropriate for me to tear up the imperial edict?”Lin Qing Yu suddenly asked.
The Central Prefecture's Marquis was stunned. He thought for a while and said,""According to the etiquette of the Tianwu Dynasty, it's indeed inappropriate. This is equivalent to slapping the Tianwu Dynasty in the face.”
"Central Prefecture Marquis, you only know one thing.”"Actually, when the barbarians and demons were preparing to head to the eastern border, I wrote to the imperial court to warn them to be on guard. I also expressed my willingness to send people to the eastern border to help defend.”
"There's such a thing?" The Central Prefecture Marquis was stunned.
"Of course!" "It's a pity that the imperial court, or more accurately, the empress, did not adopt it.”
" Later on, I sent a secret letter to the empress. I told her clearly that the allied forces of the barbarians, demons, and dwarves would attack the eastern border. I also emphasized that the barbarians 'goal was to occupy Northern Barbarian City…""Unfortunately, the empress also ignored him.”
The Marquis of Zhongzhou was stunned. He suddenly realized something,""No wonder…when the imperial court wanted to cede Northern Barbarian City, the empress asked if she could let the Marquis of Zhenbei recover the eastern border. So that's why…so that's why…the empress knows everything!”
"Do you understand?" Lin Qing Yu smiled faintly." So when I received the imperial edict to cede territory, I tore it up. Do you still think I'm reckless and condescending?"”
When the Marquis of Zhongzhou heard this, he suddenly understood!
"If that's the case, you certainly didn't act impolitely, Northguard Marquis.”
Lin Qing Yu smiled.
" After all, my identity as the Northguard Marquis was given to me by the imperial court. I was able to rise in the Northern Borderline because of the title of the Northguard Marquis…""A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. This is also the reason why I'm unwilling to completely fall out with the Tianwu Dynasty.”
Lin Qing Yu said," If the Tianwu Dynasty didn't find trouble with me, I wouldn't have fallen out with them. I would have guarded the northern border and developed it to resist the demonic barbarians. It's a pity that the Tianwu Dynasty insisted on doing something heartless."”
At this point, Lin Qing Yu looked at the Central Prefecture Marquis and said,""I've done my best!"
"Marquis of Zhongzhou, I showed you the Northern Borderline because I don't want to be your enemy. The Northern Borderline and Zhongzhou could have lived in peace and prospered together, just like the Northern Borderline and Tianwu Dynasty.”Lin Qing Yu said meaningfully,"
"I think the Marquis of the Central Prefecture should also know that if the Northern Borderline and the Tianwu Dynasty fall out, your Central Prefecture will be the greatest threat to the Northern Borderline. At that time, we will definitely fight."
At this point, Lin Qing Yu paused for a moment before continuing,
" Marquis of the Central Prefecture, forgive me for being blunt, but once we become enemies, I will send the Northern Army to attack the Central Prefecture. I'm not boasting, but with the Northern Army's strength, they will be able to conquer the entire Central Prefecture in seven days!”
The moment he said that, the Central Prefecture Marquis was so frightened that he quivered! He gasped.
