Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 339 - 337: Gesturing?

"Actually, I do have a selfish motive for coming here this time.

I do not wish to see the barbarian armies trample through the lands of the Han people.

Therefore, if Your Majesty is willing to cede 15 cities and additionally offer up ten million taels of silver.

After I return, I will certainly report this matter to the great khan and convey Your Majesty’s apologies.

I believe that with my glib tongue, I will definitely be able to change the great khan’s mind.

Perhaps he might even give up on attacking You Country at that point."

After these words were spoken, the people below were all amused to anger.

Including the young Emperor who was inwardly amused as well.

However, her face showed no change at all.

Instead, she continued to look at the other party very calmly, waiting for him to continue speaking.

But at this moment, the old general could no longer hold back.

He rushed forward, wanting to teach this person a lesson.

Fortunately, his colleagues around him stopped him in time and blocked the old general’s advance.

Otherwise, the old general would have torn this person apart.

And all this was observed by Lin Yi, although he did not show any change in expression.

He just sneered inwardly.

This person is truly shameless, daring to say such things.

Who knows who gave him the courage.

To ask for 15 cities and ten million taels of silver right off the bat.

That’s truly like making a lion’s mouth request, the total number of cities in You Country is barely over thirty.

If fifteen cities were to be ceded at once, half of You Country would have been handed over.

Even just thinking with one’s feet, one would know this is impossible and would definitely not agree to it.

As for the ten million taels of silver, that is even more unrealistic.

Right now, the total amount in You Country’s National Treasury is not even more than 1/10 of that.

This is only because the Nanshan Base has made a considerable amount of silver recently, which has filled the Emperor’s Inner Hall.

Had it been before I came here, the young Emperor would not have been able to produce even one hundred thousand taels, let alone ten million.

However, Lin Yi saw through this person’s purpose with one glance; he didn’t really want fifteen cities and ten million taels of silver, but was surely waiting to bargain.

But as Lin Yi’s gaze met this person’s eyes, he was taken aback.

"Something’s wrong, this person doesn’t really want reconciliation."

He does not really want the cities and silver.

This person has a subtle expression in his eyes that is hard to detect.

This expression seemed more like mockery.

Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have such an expression at this moment.

Could it be that this person is just buying time?

Or perhaps, that person’s army has already set out?"

The young Emperor, who had been amused by the opponent, suddenly heard Lin Yi’s thoughts and felt a pang in her heart.

Lin Yi hadn’t realized this earlier, but now she also understood, much like Lin Yi said, this person is very likely just trying to confuse her.

"What delusions, come here, drag him out.

Although the rule is that the messengers of warring states should not be killed, this person still deserves to taste some pain.

After dragging him out, let him receive fifty military canes each, just enough to let him keep breathing before throwing him out of the palace!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the court was shocked; nobody expected the young Emperor to be so ruthless.

She spoke so unreasonably, uttering such words.

Especially Sun Heng, who was stunned on the spot.

He never imagined the young Emperor would be so decisive.

In his mind, the young Emperor would certainly not dare to take action against him hastily.

While it was impossible for her to agree to his conditions, she would definitely have chosen to negotiate in parts.

To put it plainly, that would have been the result he wanted.

But he never expected that just as he began speaking, she would have him dragged out to be caned.

This left him feeling like he had thrown a punch only to hit cotton, feeling powerless.

While he was stunned, the guards on either side of the hall suddenly drew their swords with a whoosh,

and at the same time, they all glared fiercely at the three men in front of them.

These three were also showing fierce looks, glaring venomously at the young Emperor.

Agusi even raised his fist, as if ready to strike at any moment.

But at this moment, they did not have any weapons in their hands.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so hesitant.

As for that Sun, his face was also gloomy at this moment, his eyes filled with resentment.

He also did not expect the young Emperor to play her cards in such an unconventional way.

Of course, he did not know that the reason why the young Emperor has developed such a personality now is largely because she has been spending too much time with Lin Yi.

Whatever it is, she never does things by the book.

At this moment, Agusi, seeing the guards around him that were glaring like tigers watching their prey, couldn’t help but laugh loudly:

"Ha ha, how ridiculous, this grand You Country would resort to such despicable tactics.

If you have the guts, let’s fight a real battle!

Don’t say I bully you, I’ve brought a thousand followers this time, if you dare, pick out a thousand men and let’s see who’s stronger."

After shouting this, he knew in his heart it was futile.

Today’s beating was unavoidable.

This was their territory after all, even if he was made of iron, how many nails could he possibly drive?

Outnumbered, how could he possibly escape.

But at this moment, he was thinking, they better not let him leave, otherwise, he wouldn’t mind letting them taste some bitterness before he left.

Although his thousand soldiers may not seem many, it was easy to cause some trouble on the outskirts of You Country.

They might not take the Capital City, but there are many county governments and villages around it.

By then, causing some burning, killing, and looting along the way would be as easy as turning over one’s hand.

In summary, the grudge of being beaten today, they will certainly avenge.

But what they didn’t expect was that after he finished shouting, the young Emperor, who had been observing coldly, suddenly stopped the guards ready to advance:

"Everyone, stand down! Since they don’t accept it, I will agree to their plan and let them see the mettle of our You Country lads."

With these words, all were shocked, including those barbarians, and Sun Heng’s mind went somewhat blank.
