Da da da!
A series of neat footsteps sounded, and Fan Xian led Wang Qinian and his entourage into the Chaotian Hall with their heads held high.
Their steps were firm and powerful, as if each step struck the heartstrings of the people, causing tremors.
The surrounding civil and military officials all turned their gazes toward Fan Xian and his group, their eyes flashing with curiosity, vigilance, or hostility.
Their gazes were like sharp arrows, piercing through the air and aimed directly at Fan Xian and the others.
These gazes converged, creating an invisible pressure that permeated the entire Chaotian Hall.
As Fan Xian and his group continued forward, the surrounding chatter gradually reached their ears.
The sounds were like the buzzing of bees, noisy and trivial, making people feel irritable and uneasy.
The once quiet Chaotian Hall instantly became noisy, as if countless flies were buzzing around one's ears, making one feel irritable and restless.
Just then, Zhan Doudou, sitting on the dragon throne, stared intently at Fan Xian, her bright eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement.
She wondered to herself what the person who created such a masterpiece as "Dream of the Red Chamber" looked like.
What kind of impact will he have on the Northern Qi?
Filled with anticipation, Zhan Doudou quietly waited for Fan Xian's arrival.
He simply bowed to Zhan Doudou and said, "Your subject Fan Xian greets the Emperor of Northern Qi and hereby presents the official letter personally drafted by His Majesty."
Fan Xian's rude behavior aroused the dissatisfaction and anger of the civil and military officials present.
"How dare you! You dare not kneel and pay your respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Northern Qi! You have no respect for Northern Qi at all!"
An official shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
He looked at the angry officials with disdain and sneered:
"We in Southern Qing have a rule that we can only worship one emperor, and that is His Majesty of our dynasty. As for your Northern Qi, hehehe..."
His laughter was full of sarcasm.
"What do you mean by this? Don't you respect the Northern Qi?" another official questioned...
Fan Xian shrugged and replied nonchalantly:
"That's right, I just don't take your Northern Qi seriously, so what? You dare to kill me?"
His words were like a sharp sword, piercing into everyone's heart.
Enraged by his arrogance, the civil and military officials knelt down and begged Zhan Doudou to order Fan Xian's execution.
Their voices surged like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the next, filling the entire court.
"Your Majesty, please order this traitor to be executed to uphold the dignity of our Great Qi!"
"Your Majesty, this man is arrogant and conceited, and must be severely punished!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to have this traitor's blood spilled on the spot!"
Fan Xian glanced at the Northern Qi civil and military officials kneeling on the ground around him and curled his lip, thinking to himself:
"You guys can just keep acting!"
The Empress Dowager of Northern Qi was furious to see Fan Xian showing such disrespect for Northern Qi, but she could not help but feel sorry for him.
After all, Nanqing is still sending troops to reinforce the border of Beiqi. If they dare to attack these Nanqing envoys at this time, Nanqing will definitely use this as an excuse to send troops against them.
Zhan Doudou was originally interested in Fan Xian, but now that she saw Fan Xian being so arrogant, she immediately realized Fan Xian's disgusting intentions. He wanted to deliberately humiliate and provoke them, the Northern Qi, to attack him.
This gave Nanqing a pretext to send troops.
Having figured this out, Zhan Doudou had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then addressed the civil and military officials below:
"Enough! How dare you make such a racket in the main hall! Get out of here!"
Upon hearing Zhan Doudou's words, the civil and military officials had no choice but to get up and return to their seats.
But their eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction as they looked at Fan Xian, as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Fan Xian, on the other hand, remained calm and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about the stares of these people.
Then Zhan Doudou said to Haitang Duoduo beside her, "Holy Maiden, go down and bring up the letter of state from the envoy of Nanqing!"
Upon hearing Zhan Doudou's words, Haitang Duoduo immediately responded:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Haitang Duoduo went downstairs, glared at Fan Xian fiercely, took the letter of state, returned to Zhan Doudou's side, and handed the letter of state to Zhan Doudou.
After Zhan Doudou received the letter of state, she glanced at it and saw that the new emperor of Nanqing was spouting meaningless platitudes. She closed the letter and said to Fan Xian:
"Fan Xian, how are your discussions going regarding the marriage alliance that our Holy Maiden mentioned to you yesterday?"
Fan Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, knowing that his chance to complete the mission had come.
So he straightened up and said:
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Northern Qi, after careful discussion last night, we feel that it is somewhat flawed for Southern Qing to so casually accept a prince from another country as a concubine."
"To avoid this flaw, I think it would be better to have a princess from Northern Qi serve me first, so that I can test the quality of women in Northern Qi and see if they meet the standards for entering the palace as concubines."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire Chaotian Hall fell silent.
All the civil and military officials of Northern Qi stared wide-eyed at Fan Xian.
They could hardly believe their ears; this guy actually dared to say such filthy things in front of His Majesty.
Not only were the civil and military officials of Northern Qi shocked, but even the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, who was sitting on the phoenix throne, was taken aback by Fan Xian's words.
He then realized what was happening and flew into a rage, saying, "How dare you! How dare you humiliate my princess like this!"
Upon hearing the words of the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, Fan Xian remained calm and composed, replying slowly and deliberately:
"How did I humiliate your princess? I was doing this for your own good!"
You wouldn't want to offend His Majesty by marrying a terrible princess, would you?
"Now that I've tested the waters, you don't need to worry about this anymore."
The civil and military officials standing around could no longer contain themselves and directly rebuked:
"What do you take our princesses and noblewomen for? Prostitutes from brothels?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian quickly waved his hand and said:
"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, the official was so frightened that he immediately knelt before the Northern Qi emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant."
Zhan Doudou glanced at Fan Xian's smug look and said calmly:
"Envoy Fan, may I interpret this as you provoking the Northern Qi royal family?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian instantly became excited, knowing that his mission was about to be completed, and immediately said:
"How could that be! If you can't bear to part with the princess, I think the Empress Dowager is quite good! Letting her test the waters is still acceptable."
To excavate a trench.
Hearing Fan Xian's words, Wang Qinian behind him was dumbfounded and cursed inwardly:
"Damn it, Lord Fan! This isn't just an insult anymore!"
This is blatant blaming the Northern Qi royal family for defecating and urinating on their heads!
Boom! As soon as Fan Xian said this, the entire court was in an uproar, like a bomb being thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves.
"How dare you, people of Nanqing! Do you think we, Northern Qi, have no one to rely on?!"

Chapter 72 The Battle of the Three Grandmasters, Fan Xian's Deadly Escape
"How dare you, Southern Qing people! Do you think Northern Qi has no one to rely on?!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a figure shrouded in black robes appeared in the hall, like a ghost.
The Emperor of Northern Qi, the Empress Dowager, and the Holy Maiden Haitang Duoduo were overjoyed to see this figure and exclaimed in unison:
"Master (Grandmaster Kuhe)!"
Hearing the three women's calls, Ku He nodded slightly, waved to them, and said slowly:
"Yes! I'm back, you don't need to worry anymore."
After speaking, he turned his head, looked at Fan Xian with indifferent eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm asking you a question! People of Nanqing, do you think that our Northern Qi has no one to rely on, daring to humiliate our Northern Qi royal family like this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an incredibly powerful and suffocating aura suddenly erupted from Ku He's body, sweeping directly towards Fan Xian like a surging wave.
Fan Xian felt as if his body was being crushed by a mountain, his back bent under the pressure and his knees began to tremble.
