Chapter 290 Please let go
Chapter 290 Please let go
Three days later, Ruan Qingqing brought sixty fully armed elite soldiers and Yue Linlang to the royal court of Moliang to seek justice.
When Su and Narisu, the eldest prince of Moliang, heard the news, their faces turned gloomy and they crushed the ceramic cup in their hands with one hand.
"Crazy! Too crazy!"
The third prince Bater lowered his head and remained silent, while the first king Haoerji's expression was relatively calm.
That day, Su suddenly stood up and faced Helgi, "Father, that bitch Ruan Qingqing is really too arrogant! Why not take this opportunity to make her go without return? By then, the three cities of Bale, Moyang, and Landi will be leaderless, and we can go south directly to take back these three cities, so that we don't have to worry about the problem of winter this year."
Bater beside him sneered, "Brother, you really dare to think so! If you want to die yourself, don't drag us into it!"
Hao Erji, who was sitting in the upper seat, remained silent, and the atmosphere in the big tent was somewhat solemn.
Su was so angry that he slammed the table. "Are we just going to let Ruan Qingqing bully us? Last winter, we attacked three cities under her control, so it was fine for her to come here to ask for an explanation. This year, we didn't do anything, so what kind of explanation is she asking for?"
"Don't think we don't know. Before autumn, you sent a large number of children to the three cities of Bale. It would be fine if you used them as spies in the future, but you just did some useless things. Not only did you not make any waves, but you also lost a lot of people. You should be glad that Miss Ruan is not the kind of person who pursues war, otherwise we would not have the chance to sit here!" Bater rolled his eyes in disdain, and the small ring on his left nose kept shaking.
That day, Su was so angry that he fell backwards, "You..."
"Alright! Let the past be the past. Since City Lord Ruan is coming to seek justice, let's first see what kind of justice she wants from us. Why are you so panicked?"
Hao Erji, who had been standing on the background wall for a long time, raised his hand to stop the two brothers from arguing.
"Hmph!" The two brothers snorted coldly, neither of them convinced by the other, and turned their heads away.
During the silence, a guard came in to report. "Your Majesty, City Lord Ruan wants to see you."
Helgi was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Yun!"
"How is King Moliang?" Ruan Qingqing walked into the big tent and greeted him with a forced smile.
"Well, City Lord Ruan looks as young and handsome as ever!" Helgi and Ruan Qingqing responded in a perfunctory manner.
After Ruan Qingqing took her seat, the maids immediately served her tea and snacks.
"I wonder why City Lord Ruan has come all the way here this time?" After drinking a cup of milk tea, Hao Erji went straight to the point and asked the purpose of Ruan Qingqing's trip.
Ruan Qingqing put down the teacup in her hand, her face indifferent. "Yes, there is something. We just signed a non-aggression treaty last year, right? It hasn't even been a year, and you have sent a large number of beggars to our three cities, and incited them to cause trouble in our three cities. What's even more unbelievable is that you actually let the soldiers transform into ordinary people and protest under our city walls? I wonder what the King of Moliang wants to do?"
"I have never known about this, let alone issued such an order." Hao Erji refused to admit it.
Ruan Qingqing covered the teacup and stood up suddenly. "It doesn't matter. Since King Moliang can't manage his subordinates well, I have no choice but to do it for him!"
She flicked her sleeves and walked out with her back straight.
"Stop! Who gave you the confidence to run wild in our royal tent as if you were in an empty place?" Su was so angry that he stood up and pointed at Ruan Qingqing and shouted loudly.
Ruan Qingqing shot a hidden arrow with her backhand, "Didn't your parents teach you that it's rude to point at people?"
"Ah! It hurts! Witch doctor, please call the witch doctor to this prince!" That day, the finger of Su Na that was pointing at Ruan Qingqing was instantly pierced by the sleeve arrow. He screamed in pain and didn't care about what Ruan Qingqing said.
Hao Erji clenched his hands on the armrests of the chair, and his voice was also somewhat cold. "What exactly does City Lord Ruan mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of burly men rushed into the tent, drew their swords and pointed them at Ruan Qingqing.
"I would like to ask what King Moliang means?" Ruan Qingqing's voice became even colder.
After the two sides looked at each other for a while, King Moliang was finally defeated.
"Regarding what City Lord Ruan said before, I really didn't know it before the incident. I only found out about it after the incident."
"It seems that King Moliang is old and can't control the people below. I said, if you can't control it, I will control it for you." Ruan Qingqing said without changing his expression.
"You! Then I want to hear how you plan to manage it." Hao Erji was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
Ruan Qingqing glanced at him coldly, "Anyone who violates my three cities must be punished!"
"How can a woman like you be so domineering?" Hao Erji was furious.
"When you offended our three cities, why didn't you think of your despicable and outrageous behavior? If you did it, you will have to pay for your past actions!"
Ruan Qingqing stared at him and spoke word by word.
"Father, why waste time talking to this bitch? Just have her killed. I don't believe that our 20,000 top warriors in Moliang can't defeat a bitch like her!"
That day, when Su had already recovered from the pain, he looked at Ruan Qingqing with eyes as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Ruan Qingqing glanced at him lightly, "You guys, you can give it a try! But before you try, think it over carefully. Can you afford the price?"
"Brother, have you forgotten that when we were near Xiliang Pass, City Lord Ruan and his four men killed everyone there. Even though the Yunqing people blocked us later, we still managed to escape. Can the situation today be better than that time? How can we save the well-prepared City Lord Ruan from dying here? Don't bring disaster to us Moliang people!"
Hao Erji closed his eyes and sighed, "City Lord Ruan, just tell me what you want to do. If there is anything we can do for you, we will definitely do our best to help you!"
Seeing this, Ruan Qingqing sat back down. "Since King Moliang is so sincere, I will not refuse. I want to incite the soldiers to go to my Bale City to cause trouble and the soldiers who participated in the riot."
When Su heard this that day, his face turned pale in an instant, his head started buzzing, and his fingers that had been anesthetic began to ache slightly.
"Father..."
Haoerji thought for a moment and tried to negotiate, "I can hand over the soldiers who caused the trouble to you. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, can I exchange him for cattle and sheep?"
"No room for negotiation! I will pursue those who have harmed the lives of my soldiers from the three cities to seek justice for them even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth! If the King of Moliang is unwilling to let them go, we will personally catch the mastermind behind the scenes. Sacrifice for the victims!"
"What if I hand over the mastermind behind this? Can you spare his life?" Hao Erji tried to negotiate.
"Unless he can apologize at the grave of my fallen soldier and compensate me with 10,000 cattle and sheep as a warning!"
"You really know how to ask for too much!" Su sneered that day.
Ruan Qingqing looked at him calmly, "Isn't your life worth 10,000 cows and sheep?"
That day, Su was choked.
"Since we have no cattle or sheep, I am willing to cede three more cities to you. How about that?" Hao Erji asked.
Ruan Qingqing sneered, "Winter is approaching, and you give me three cities full of starving people. Not only do I not get any benefit, but I also have to pay for supplies to help them survive the winter, and then find ways to take them back when the weather warms up. How can such a good thing happen?"
"We will never again plot against your city. From today on, if anyone from our Moliang has such an idea, you can kill him or chop him up as you like. What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll give you one chance. If anyone dares to disrupt the peace of the city under my rule again, I will destroy you!"
