Ming Dynasty, the capital.

The hot and cool summer made this world-class city, which originally had the energy of Jiangnan water town, become irritable.

There seemed to be an indescribable violence brewing in the air, as if it was about to explode at any time.

"What should I do?"

In the inn at Lifanyuan, Annan envoy Ruan Nanbo was eagerly paced back and forth on the ground like an ant on a hot pan.

In front of him, several envoys who followed him to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty were all as beautiful as earth.

These Annan people came with the greatest sincerity and fantasy, hoping to get forgiveness from the Ming Dynasty. They had already thought of proper words on the way to explain the misunderstandings between the two sides on the border this time.

But... after they arrived in the capital, they found that they were under house arrest.

Without the summons of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the reception of the central ministers of the Ming Dynasty, they were not allowed to step out of the inn at will, like prisoners.

"What does the Ming Dynasty mean?" Ruan Nanbo said anxiously again, "Just leave us alone?"

A subordinate said with a worried look on his face, "Sir, why not wait here...?"

"What's worse?" Ruan Nanbo asked.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Why... go home!"

"you....?"

"The Ming Dynasty was heavily deployed on the border of Annan, but refused to meet our envoys. The links in it are very intriguing!!" The man said again, "And we are in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and now we are deaf and blind, and we don't know anything about the outside world!"

As he said that, he sighed, "Look, I, Annan, this time, is so lucky..."

As he was talking, a sudden slight pace came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of Jinyiwei led the way, surrounded by a group of officials, and made great strides.

Inside the house, the Annan envoys who saw this scene were all stunned, and then Ruan Nanbo took the lead and hurriedly greeted him.

Because he recognized that among the Ming ministers who suddenly arrived, the leader should be the cabinet of the Ming Empire, the leader of the Nanshufang, Minister Wang, and Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.

Even if he didn't recognize Zhu Gaochi, he wouldn't admit his mistake with his unique fat face and apricot-yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe.

"My subordinate Ruan Nanbo, I have met His Highness, Minister Wang..."

When Zhu Gaochi heard this person introduce him, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and then smiled, "The envoy does not have to be too polite."

As he said that, he entered the room with a smile, "Is the envoy still used to living in my Ming Dynasty?"

Ruan Nanbo humbly followed Zhu Gaochi's footsteps and said anxiously, "I am carrying the burden of diplomatic relations between the two countries and can't sleep at night!" As he said that, he bowed, "Your Highness, please give Annan a chance to defend himself. Last time, my Annan Sanjiang Pacifier Chen Gongsu intercepted the Ming army, he was the one who did it alone, and Annan did not know anything about it!"

Zhu Gaochi looked at the furnishings in the inn and smiled without saying a word.

"After learning about this, the king of Annan has put the servant in prison and asked his subordinates to come to the Heavenly Kingdom to apologize. I, Annan, are willing to compensate the Ming Dynasty..."

"Is there any sincerity?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly turned around and smiled.

Ruan Nanbo and other Annan envoys were instantly ecstatic, "Of course they are sincere!"

"Oh!" Zhu Gaochi pulled Changyin and nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll pay tribute to 500,000 taels of gold and 1,000 elephants..."

“………”

Suddenly, Ruan Nanbo and others were stunned.

Five hundred thousand taels of gold?

Even if the Annan people smashed all the bones and scraps, they wouldn't be able to make them come out!

"Why, are there any difficulties?" Zhu Gaochi asked seriously.

"This..." Ruan Nanbo suppressed the anger in his heart. How could he not see that the other party was teasing himself, but... Don't say it was teasing him when facing power, what could he do even if he was humiliated?

"If you have any difficulties, tell me and give you less!" Zhu Gaochi smiled again, "Is it good to have 490,000 taels! My Ming Dynasty is the country of the Heavenly Kingdom, so I won't bother with you about 10,000 or 20,000!"

Ruan Nanbo bowed his head and suddenly bowed suddenly, "Your Highness, Annan has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Respect?" Zhu Gaochi's tone suddenly became mocking, "If you respectfully, will you invade the five counties of Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty? Will you intercept and kill our Celestial Army?"

As he said that, he suddenly shouted, "Will you take my Emperor of Ming Dynasty as a way to release the words... as the wind in your ears?"

"I have no such intention in my country..."

"No? Ha!" Zhu Gaochi sneered, "On the outside, you say that you are the king of Annan. But in the inside, you have changed the name of Annan without any reason, calling it the Dayue clan and the Dayu dynasty."

Zhu Gaochi's expression became ferocious, "Li thief usurped the throne and dared to be called emperor? Yes?"

"This..." Ruan Nanbo was speechless and could only choke up, "Your Highness, how can the Ming Dynasty forgive..."

"Hey, I don't have the final say in this matter!" Zhu Gaochi suddenly turned into a smile again, and then pointed out of the door, "I don't know who, do you know him!"

All the envoys of Annan turned around and stood there on the spot.

It turned out that it was the young general of the young emperor of the Chen Dynasty. The old man Pei Boqi of Chen walked in with a cold face.

"Ruan Hanlin, haven't seen each other for a long time?" Pei Boqi sneered.

"You..." Ruan Nanbo's cold sweat came down.

Pei Boqi stepped forward, stared at the Annan envoys, and continued to sneer, "It seems that Ruan Hanlin, you have a good career! Can you actually be an envoy?"

“I…I am the representative of the country…”

"Bah, which king?" Pei Boqi was furious and shouted, "You were a Hanlin of the Chen Dynasty back then, and were favored by the Chen Dynasty. However, they were shameless and shameless and did not know loyalty and righteousness. For the sake of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, they actually served the Li thief?"

"One minister does not serve the second master, you are simply worse than a beast..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Gaochi said to correct him, "Who is Li Thief?"

"Hmph, you are unfaithful and unrighteous!" Pei Boqi sneered again.

"You need to slander!" Ruan Nanbo blushed, "Chen Chao died, how can Annan be without a master..."

"Stop!" Pei Boqi shouted loudly, "You still have to argue now. You are really a natural traitor!"

As he said that, he suddenly smiled strangely, which made everyone feel cold.

"Do you think that if you kill the descendants of the Chen Dynasty royal family, you can settle down?" Pei Boqi sneered, "God bless me, Chen Dynasty, and the country of the Ming Dynasty. Since ancient times, many people have gained power, but few people have helped."

"The thief Li and you and others are in a rebellious manner. You not only do tyranny in Annan and harm the people. You also do not know that the sky is high and the earth is strong, provoking the majesty of the Ming Dynasty."

"Mr. Pei!" Ruan Nanbo shouted, "I have always been close to the Ming Dynasty in the Annan Dynasty. After all, whether it is the Chen Dynasty or the Li Dynasty, it is my own business."

Then, he said with red eyes, "I have always opposed provoking the Ming Dynasty in the court, and have repeatedly suggested that the lord serve the Ming Dynasty as his father! Now the lord knows his mistake..."

As he said that, he gritted his teeth and continued, "I know you hate us very much, but you must know that you are also from Annan! If both sides really cannot mediate, then... Once the swords and weapons are opened, the people of Annan will be killed or injured!"

Suddenly, a trace of unbearableness appeared in Pei Boqi's heart.

yes!

He was also from Annan. He fought on Annan's territory, and the people who died were from Annan.

"You can scold me, you can scold the king, but... you can't ignore the people of Annan!" Ruan Nanbo said loudly again, "Annan is also your parents' country!"

"Enough!" Pei Boqi sneered, "Yes, Annan is about to suffer a lot of life. But..." He pointed at Ruan Nanbo and others, "Although I can't bear it, I know who brought Annan's devastating disaster! It's you..."

"It's you, it's you, it's you, and you!" Pei Boqi cursed one by one, "It's you who helped the King and the evil ones, who led Annan into the abyss together with the thief!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly took two steps back, took out something from his sleeve, and unfolded it in a swish.
