With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 409 It is your honor to die for the princess
The envoy said, "No."

Nothing was said, which made Song Chong feel nervous. He was already thinking about what Canglan Country would propose and how he would respond.

Half a year later, it was winter.

The barbarians invaded Canglan Kingdom, but were defeated by Canglan’s soldiers.

Both A'er and Fan Shi were on guard against them. Whenever the barbarians were in trouble, they would come here to rob things. They would wait for them to come and beat them up to deter the barbarians, and also to deter the rebels in Southern Qi and the east.

Since the establishment of Canglan State, Fan Shi has often visited the army and made a lot of preparations.

Ah Qi had no special feelings towards wealth or power. An immortal person obviously wouldn't care much about other things.

As for whether to enjoy or not, people do not pursue these things. Their life is naturally not extravagant, and there is really no need to do so. Everything in the national treasury is taken from the people and used for the people.

She didn't care about these things, but she was generous in giving to the people below her. What ordinary people pursue is not peace and stability, food and clothing, wealth and glory? Only by satisfying their reasonable wishes can she use them.

She was especially generous to the soldiers guarding the border. Since the establishment of Canglan Country, she had kept them well fed and clothed. Now, they were all strong and healthy, and they all believed in her. When they heard that the barbarians were coming, they were eager to go, and they all wanted to perform well to prove that they were not just for free. Besides, after they made contributions, His Majesty would definitely not be stingy with rewards. Following such a king, they could have enough food and clothing, and they could also have hope. How could they not be devoted to her?

This is a king worth following.

Canglan Country is the country worthy of their protection.

When the news spread that the soldiers of Canglan Kingdom easily repelled the barbarians, all parties fell silent.

The barbarians who were close to Canglan Country would naturally not give up easily. After all, they lacked food and resources, and they might as well fight to the death. After suffering several losses, they finally realized that they could not get any good results from Canglan Country, so they finally gave up.

The people of Canglan Country are living a very ordinary life now. If they want to really get better, it will not be solved in half a year or a year. Ah Qi can't take care of those barbarians now. They can continue to endure. When she unifies the country and her people are better, she will take care of other things.

Seeing that the barbarians did not dare to invade, all aspects of Canglan Kingdom were moving in the right direction, and the situation was finally completely stabilized.

Asui plans to return to Southern Qi.

She called Fan Shi, Xue Shanhui, and some other important ministers in Canglan State and told them her decision.

These officials had witnessed her abilities that night, so they were not worried that she would be in any danger.

Knowing that she would definitely go to Nanqi, he did not dare to stop her.

"I feel at ease with you guys here."

"If there is anything you cannot decide, ask the Prime Minister and the Military Advisor."

"If you two can't make up your mind, send someone to deliver a letter." Ah Qi reminded, "My visit to Southern Qi will probably take some time, but by the time I return, it will be almost time to conquer Southern Qi."

"We can't relax in the east either. We need to make arrangements as needed."

Fan Shi and others responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Half a month later, Nanqi received a letter from Canglan Kingdom, which mentioned the matter of the Ninth Princess of Nanqi and asked them to arrange someone to pick her up.

After Canglan showed its strength, the toughness that Nanqi had previously had collapsed instantly, and many people were afraid that they would suddenly attack. Even though the letter did not mention any conditions, it still made everyone in Nanqi nervous.

Song Chong did not dare to hesitate any longer. After consulting with his ministers, he immediately arranged for an envoy to pick up the person. Naturally, he also prepared generous gifts to avoid being caught.

Not long before Canglan Kingdom was established, Southern Qi had already prepared gifts to send over, and sent envoys to inquire about the Ninth Princess.

The envoys arrived at Canglan Kingdom smoothly. The person who received them was just an official of Canglan Kingdom, who was neither high nor low in rank. He still did not meet the Emperor of Canglan Kingdom, and only asked a few questions, not daring to show any dissatisfaction. At this time, they were more afraid that Canglan Kingdom would find fault with them and use this as an excuse to attack Southern Qi.

After they presented the generous gifts, they soon met the Ninth Princess of Southern Qi and were not troubled. Of course, the Canglan Kingdom did not make any other comments, but just asked them to take the person back.

Not all the people who followed Ah Qi to Northern Qi followed her back. Some of them had already been officials in the court and held important positions, so they really couldn't leave for the time being. Those who wanted to go back with her all looked ruddy and didn't seem to have been treated harshly.

The envoy would not care about the fact that only a few people were missing, and he guessed that they might have died at the hands of the Northern Qi people earlier.

It's enough as long as the Ninth Princess can go back. The others are just low-ranking palace servants and are not important.

Canglan Country has arranged some people to escort them.

The envoy was still unsure and didn't understand what Canglan Kingdom meant, but he didn't dare to question it and could only take Asui back obediently.

The messenger left first to report the news back as soon as possible.

When Acui's convoy was halfway there, the messenger had already arrived in Southern Qi and met Song Chong. He recounted the envoy's experience in Canglan State and also reported Acui's situation.

"The Ninth Princess should have lived a good life these days. She has not been troubled. Even the people around her are fine." The messenger said, "Some people are missing. I am afraid they were tortured to death by the Northern Qi people at the beginning."

He said this because Song Chong had always shown his love for the Ninth Princess to the outside world, and thought that Song Chong cared about these things, so he told him not to worry.

Who would have known that after hearing this, Song Chong not only felt unhappy, but also depressed and angry.

This Cui Qi is lucky.

As for whether there were more or fewer palace servants, he really didn't care and had no interest in mentioning it. Of course, when the convoy came back, he would still praise them in front of everyone.

"What do you think of Canglan Kingdom's actions?" Song Chong asked.

If you say that Canglan Country is unfriendly, they haven't made things difficult for us.

As for friendship, the envoys have been there several times but have not yet met the King of Canglan.

Song Chong was naturally depressed and angry, but when he thought of the strength of Canglan Country, he immediately suppressed all his anger. There was no other way, Canglan Country was not a sick cat, but a strong tiger that could not be angered.

"In my opinion, Canglan Country will not send troops to Southern Qi. Their willingness to send the Ninth Princess back shows that they are friendly. If they really want to cause trouble, they will definitely not send the Ninth Princess back."

"I believe that they are doing this in order to intimidate Southern Qi."

"Although Canglan Nation has repelled the Barbarians, it must have paid a heavy price. We dare not do anything else rashly."

"Since the Ninth Princess has been brought back and Canglan Country is not making things difficult for us, we can't take the initiative to cause trouble. It's best to keep to ourselves as it is now."
