All the civil and military officials looked at Zhao Jin in shock. Cen Qianyi stood up with a frown on his face and said, "Your Highness, if this is the case, just leave one person back and leave the other four behind."
Cen Qianyi's words were already relatively euphemistic. A military general said bluntly: "If we let them go back, I'm afraid they won't recognize the matter immediately."
"Then just start a war." Zhao Jin raised his hand and stopped the other courtiers who were still about to speak.
Dagan's pupils shrank slightly, and the hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists.
Dagan and others suddenly realized that Zhao Jin was not afraid of war at all.
Why? Zhao State has experienced internal and external troubles continuously. Is it still capable of starting a war with Lilong State? Or is Zhao Jin just holding on and doing superficial things?
Da Gan's thoughts were spinning all over the place, but his face didn't show a single trace of it.
The face of the Minister of Hubu looked bitter for a moment, but he did not speak. Firstly, it was because the envoys of the Lilong Kingdom were here, and secondly, if there was really going to be a war.
After destroying the Ministry of Household Affairs, he still had to find a way to collect money. He could not let a small country like Long Guo ride on the head of Zhao Guo.
If he shows weakness this time, all countries in the future may regard Zhao as a soft persimmon.
and……
The Minister of Household Affairs glanced at Zhao Jin. His Royal Highness was so confident that he could have already solved the money problem.
For a while, the civil and military officials did not say anything again.
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "However, the people of Zhao State may have a lot of resentment towards you. In order to prevent the envoys from encountering any accidents on the way and framing Zhao State, I'd better send someone to escort you back to Long State."
Da Gan's smile was forced, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are serious, how could we do these frame-up things?"
Hearing this, Zhao Jin snorted with unknown meaning, ignored the other party's words, and said directly: "Chen Xiao."
"The end will be here."
Chen Xiao calmed down his expression, strode to the center of the hall, and stood next to the envoy of the Long Kingdom.
"You will lead an army of 200,000 to escort the five envoys who established the Long Kingdom back to the country."
Everyone in the hall looked shocked.
Two hundred thousand troops to escort five envoys back home? I'm afraid they are not going to start a war.
The faces of the five envoys suddenly turned ugly. Tuckerhan had a bad temper and immediately said angrily: "His Royal Highness, are you escorted by an army of 200,000? If you want to go to war with Lilong Kingdom, there is no need to make such excuses!"
The courtiers who were still in shock suddenly came to their senses because of the other party's words.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has shown his kindness. Since the envoy from Long State is so ungrateful, there is really no need to leave."
"Hmph, if you don't send more people to escort you, and you encounter rangers or other knights on the road, you will not be able to return to the Lilong Kingdom without your life. Are you afraid that you will come back to blame me, the Zhao Kingdom, for not sending someone to escort you?"
The smile on Zhao Jin's face faded and he said coldly: "The envoy is right. Then we can just start a war."
"When the two countries are at war, I won't kill you if you don't kill the envoys, but don't think about establishing the Long Kingdom this time."
Dagan took a deep breath, stopped Takhan, and forced out a smile, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, Takhan just didn't think too much."
"Dagan understands His Highness the Crown Prince's good intentions. This will cause trouble to His Highness the Crown Prince and General Chen Xiao."
Zhao Jin chuckled, "No trouble."
Chen Xiao clasped his hands in his fists, "General, I will definitely deliver the five envoys safely!"
"In that case, do you five have anything else to do?"
Da Gan barely squeezed out a few words, "No more."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin nodded slightly, and before asking Shouquan to announce his withdrawal from the court, he reminded Da Gan, "General Da Gan, remember to send these apology gifts. At least it can calm the public anger a little."
"After all the apology gifts have been counted, Gu will naturally ask the five of them to send them back."
Shouquan saw the opportunity, and after Zhao Jin finished speaking, he raised his voice and said loudly: "If there is something to do, leave the court if there is nothing!"
The courtiers all fell silent. Dagan and the others wanted to speak, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they were muffled by Shou Quan's voice.
"Retreat!"
After the court meeting, several envoys looked dark.
There were also officials from Zhao State who smiled and said to them: "This is the first time that we send troops to escort envoys back home, which shows our closeness to Long State."
This official also emphasized the word "friendly".
Takhan wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Ba Shi and Dagan.
After the Zhao officials were almost gone, they went out.
"General, why don't you let..."
"Shut up!" Da Gan was already upset. How could he care about Takhan? He scolded coldly, "We are in Zhao State now. We have made them angry. We are the ones who can't afford it!"
Even the always arrogant Wanyan Shiyi said nothing this time.
Zhao Jin even knew the name of "Wanyan Shiyi", and with the four people arrested, he probably knew everything.
"As long as we return home, Zhao Jin and the others can't do anything to us." Da Gan narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered.
Ba Shi suddenly spoke, "What about the Zhao State going to war with the Long State?"
"We only defend but not attack. It will not be easy for Zhao to capture us."
Dagan had calmed down, "If we really start a war, Zhao will not be able to delay it for long."
The situation of Zhao State will only be worse than that of Long State.
After all, the founding of the Long Kingdom only experienced one foreign war and one civil strife, while the Zhao State experienced disasters, internal strife and foreign wars, and it had already experienced two civil strifes.
Da Gan didn't believe that even if Zhao State went to war, it could last for a long time.
…
Within a few days, Lilong State sent all the compensation gifts. In fact, the horses they brought were more than 10,000, because there were also a batch of sick horses.
But Zhao Jin had already forced Dagan to speak, and he only wanted a good horse.
They had no choice but to give up their original plan and honestly offer 10,000 good horses.
After Zhao Jin ordered his people to count the apology gifts, Chen Xiao led the army and prepared to escort the envoys of Long State back to their country.
The night before departure.
"Chen Xiao, I only have one order. They cannot be allowed to return to the country, and they cannot be allowed to be allowed to put this label on the head of Zhao State."
Chen Xiao crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, "Your Highness, this order of yours is really not easy to handle."
Hearing this, Zhao Jin smiled and said, "It seems you already have a solution."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Xiao fell silent.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and admitted Zhao Jin's words, "The general does have a way."
He sighed, "In this case, Your Highness will just wait for the good news from the general."
"However, in this case, the war between Zhao State and Lilong State will be inevitable. In terms of food and grass, can we keep up?"
A few days ago, Chen Xiao saw the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. When he saw him, he sighed and frowned so hard that he could pick up a fly.
"Don't worry, the food, grass and weapons have been taken care of."
