Chapter 1005: The End Has Arrived
f thousands of soldiers guarding the border, while there are less than thirty thousand soldiers left in the city. The Imperial Guard protecting the emperor numbers around one hundred thousand.In total...When the Xuan Guo envoy entered the capital, it was the emperor who personally sent someone to greet him. Originally, the emperor wanted Mo Yun Jing to go in person.
However, Mo Yunjing had always been indifferent to such trivial matters. The emperor relied on Mo Yunjing for many things, so anything Mo Yunjing was unwilling to do, he couldn't persuade him at all.
Most importantly, the emperor didn't want to completely offend Mo Yunjing at this critical juncture. So, after Mo Yunjing refused to personally go and greet the Xuan nation emissaries, he didn't say much else.
But he sent Mo Yunze to pick them up. Among the envoys from Xuan Guo who arrived this time, besides the prince of Xuan Guo, there was actually also a princess.
This was something Mo Yunze had never expected.
And what Mo Yunze didn't expect was that the first thing this Xuan Kingdom princess said to him was: "Why isn't Mo Yunjing here"
When she asked this, the disappointment in her eyes was successfully caught by Mo Yunze.
Mo Yunze narrowed his eyes slightly, "Does the Sixth Princess know this King's fifth younger brother"
Princess Zhao Si of the Xuan Kingdom gave Mo Yunze a disdainful glance, then turned her head away, not wanting to have anything to do with him at all.
Mo Yunze's face stiffened, Zhao Si's ignoring him made his hands clench tightly. This woman actually didn't put him in her eyes at all.
Just as the atmosphere became awkward, Zhao Sitong's elder brother, who shared the same parents, Zhao Li, suddenly smiled and spoke:
"Your Highness, please don't mind. My daughter Little Si is not very fond of interacting with strangers. She's new to the Tianba Kingdom and isn't familiar with you yet. Please don't hold it against her."
Since someone has come out to smooth things over and pave the way, Mo Yunze naturally had no reason not to step down.
He immediately started talking to Zhao Li about official matters, and the group successfully entered the city.
Mo Yunze suggested taking them out for a meal before sending them to the Beijiang Wangfu.
He is now quite willing to let the Xuan Guo emissaries visit his residence, but unfortunately, his father has decreed that they must be received by the Northern Border Royal Manor, so he has no choice.
He proposed a meal together, but unfortunately, the Sixth Princess of Xuan Kingdom did not give him this opportunity.
Zhao Si was eager to see Mo Yunjing, she had no time for a meal with him at this moment.
She thought that Mo Yunjing would pick her up today, but when she saw that it was someone else, she was very unhappy. Did Mo Yunjing not know she had come
Otherwise, how could he not come to pick her up
Zhaoli naturally followed Zhaisi's words and refused. It wasn't that he couldn't see Mo Yunze's advances, but the fourth prince of Tianba country was indeed not very smart.
How did he even come up with the idea of having a quick meal together first!
You have to understand, they are envoys from the Xuan Kingdom. When they come to the Tianba Kingdom, the first meal they have should be a royal banquet at least. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to their status as envoys of the Xuan Kingdom.
So what's wrong with Mo Yunze's brain, to even make such a request.
If he hadn't seen Mo Yunze's genuine pleas, he would have suspected that this person was intentional.
After being rejected by Zhao Li, Mo Yunze also thought of this level. He quickly apologized and sent everyone to Beijang Palace.
Whether it was Mo Yunze or the Zhao siblings, Zhao Li and Zhao Si, they all thought that someone from the Northern Border Prince's Mansion would definitely welcome them. The people from the Northern Border Prince's Mansion didn't go to greet them outside the city, but at least they would be at the entrance of the mansion, right
When a group of people arrived at the gate of Bei Jiang Wangfu, they were all stunned. At this time, the main gate of Bei Jiang Wangfu was actually closed tight.
Zhao Si's brows furrowed, her displeased gaze fixed on Mo Yunze, "Does Mo Yunjing not know that this princess would be here today"
Mo Yunze let out a cold snort in his heart. Of course, he knew what Zhao Siwen meant by that.
Does she think she's An Xue Tang To even dream that Mo Yun Jing would look at her differently
He has no idea how much he weighs.
Although he scoffed internally, Mo Yunze still wore a faint, polite smile on his face, giving no hint of his disdain. He simply explained to Zhao Si:
"Perhaps the Fifth Brother has simply been too busy to remember. This morning, during the imperial court session, Father specifically mentioned that the Third Prince and the Sixth Princess would be entering the city soon. I had assumed the Fifth Brother would have made some arrangements, but it seems he may have simply forgotten."
Mò Yúnzé's words were quite cunning. On the surface, it seemed like he was making excuses for Mò Yúnjǐng, but in reality, he was subtly reminding the Third Prince of Xuan Country, Zhào Lì, and the Sixth Princess, Zhào Sī, that Mò Yúnjǐng had known all along that their Xuan Country delegation would enter the city today.
Even the Emperor of Tianba Kingdom reminded Mo Yunjing today, but Mo Yunjing still had no arrangements. It was obvious that he didn't take them seriously at all.
As expected, after Mo Yunze finished speaking, the Third Prince Zhao Li's face darkened again and again. As for Zhao Si, she was incredibly incredulous. She couldn't believe that Mo Yunjing knew she had come, yet he didn't seem to be in a rush to meet her at all.
Thinking this way, Zhao Si glanced at Zhao Li beside him. Seeing that he had no reaction, Zhao Si suddenly leaped from his horse and wanted to break into the Beijang Prince's Mansion.
Mo Yunze's brows shot up, this woman was really bold, daring to barge in like that.
Zhao Li was upset by Mo Yunjing's sudden move, so when he saw Zhao Si wanting to break into Beijang Wangfu, he didn't intend to stop him.
In his view, this King of the Northern Border was too disrespectful to their Xuan Nation's esteemed princes and princesses. So he allowed Zhao Si to give him a lesson or two.
He also heard that the North Frontier Prince's Mansion now had a new North Frontier Princess, but this North Frontier Princess was just an ordinary village woman. This woman only got to be the North Frontier Princess because she luckily saved the North Frontier King.
She was just a country girl and didn't think much of this man. Since the King of the Northern Border dared to treat them like this today, she wouldn't blame her for letting Zhao Si go and have a good 'meeting' with this Northern Border Princess.
Zhao Lixiang had many ideas, unfortunately his thoughts were too idealistic.
Suddenly, Zhao Sisi jumped onto the wall of Beijang Wangfu. Before she could even get a glimpse of what was inside, a powerful force knocked her back.
Zhao Si is skilled in martial arts, her internal strength isn't particularly deep, but the person who knocked her down with one palm and made her spit blood must have high martial arts skills.
The Xuan Kingdom guards, seeing their princess injured, rushed forward. Two female guards helped Zhao Si up, while the other guards nervously protected both Zhao Si and Zhao Li.
Seeing Zhao Si vomit blood, he wanted to speak, but just as he uttered a word, he suddenly fainted.
The female bodyguard beside her changed expression and quickly helped Zhao Si up, giving her internal energy to heal her wounds.
Zhao Li clenched his fists, turned to look at Mo Yunze beside him, and said through gritted teeth, "Fourth Prince, is this the way your Heavenly Hegemony Kingdom welcomes guests"
Mo Yunze shook his head, "Your Highness, the Third Prince, please don't get angry. There must be some misunderstanding here. My fifth brother has always been unruly, even to our father. Perhaps he had other arrangements today, which is why people from his residence mistakenly injured the Sixth Princess."
This is full of veiled meanings again.
In short, Mo Yunze just told Zhao Li that it was indeed Mo Yunjing who didn't take them seriously. It was also Mo Yunjing who hurt the sixth princess of Xuan Guo.
Now it all depends on whether you want to go against the Beijiang Royal Manor.
Needless to say, Mo Yunze either stays silent or makes a fuss whenever he speaks.
Right now, he feared his father depended on Mo Yunjing just as much as he did. If Mo Yunjing were to become close with the highly favored third prince and sixth princess of Xuan Guo, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!t a silent sigh, and then went inside to clean up the mess.And at this moment, An Xuetang sat on the bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, lost in thought.She already knew, thanks to her "skills," altho...
