Chapter 524: Way of Treating A Guest

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After sending the message back and forth for more than a month, Qu Yuanxian and the others were about to become furious from waiting at the border of the southern frontier. Finally, Lu Ye appeared at the border with Lan Jingbai and the other soldiers.

They were familiar faces, but everyone faced them with different ident.i.ties.

Qu Yuanxian could not help but sigh. If he had firmly decided to stay in the southern frontier back then, he might have represented the Carefree Kingdom.

Qu Yuanxian exchanged pleasantries with them. His gaze landed on Lan Jingbai’s face and he wanted to ask how Muzhi was. When he met his cold gaze, the words were swallowed in his mouth.

Lu Ye said in a businesslike manner, “The things you brought have to be checked routinely before they can enter our Carefree Kingdom.”

Bai s.h.i.+ning immediately said, “This is a reward from our emperor to your Great Empress. How dare you be rude!”

Lu Ye looked at him coldly. “Reward? You’d better open your mouth and explain clearly. Otherwise, those who insult our Great Empress will be executed on the spot!”

Bai s.h.i.+ning couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver. He braced himself and argued, “The two countries have a good relations.h.i.+p and do not kill the envoy. You’re indeed barbaric people!”

Lu Ye ordered bluntly, “Arrest him!”

Bai s.h.i.+ning shouted in fright, “What are you doing? What are you doing!!!”

Zeng Sanshui drew his sword and the soldiers faced each other.

Lu Ye and the others had guns and were not afraid at all. They even took a step forward. “What kind of envoy is insulting the Great Empress? You’re just a rebel who is barging into our Carefree Kingdom!”

Lu Ye was serious, scaring Jia Yuqin and Bai Xinshui so much that their faces turned pale.

They had yet to enter the southern frontier, but they were already threatening to kill them at the mention of Bai Wutong. When they met, if it was really her, wouldn’t they be dismembered!

Qu Yuanxian hurriedly cupped his hands and stood in front of him. “General Lu, calm down. This is just a gift from our emperor to express his friendliness to the Carefree Kingdom. He has no other intentions.”

Lu Ye pointed at Bai s.h.i.+ning and said, “Make him explain himself!”

It was as if they would fight at any time that day if he did not make things clear.

Zeng Sanshui was also so angry that his teeth hurt. Previously, it was not that he had not thought of launching a sneak attack and bringing back a few guns to study. Unexpectedly, he did not manage to s.n.a.t.c.h any guns back and their tent had been burned by this group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.

If they really fought, it would only allow the Carefree Kingdom to expand its territory.

At that time, where would he put his face?

He was the number one general of the Ling Kingdom!

Qu Yuanxian had been very polite to Bai s.h.i.+ning along the way, but at this moment, his face turned cold. “The harmony between the two countries is of utmost importance. Make it clear to others what you are tasked to say!”

Bai s.h.i.+ning thought that he was the Great Empress’ father and could do whatever he wanted. However, he was afraid that his head would be beheaded by Lu Ye before Bai Wutong could see him. After a long time, he said, “It’s all because I was rude and didn’t understand what the emperor meant.”

Lu Ye sneered. “Even if you don’t understand what your emperor means today,

1 won’t give you a second chance after you enter our Carefree City!”

“Check the items carefully and confirm their ident.i.ties. Don’t let a traitor sneak in!”

Zeng Sanshui suddenly pulled Qu Yuanxian back. “I’ll go with you!”

He had stayed at the border of Carefree City and seen many things that confused him. He had long wanted to go in and investigate.

Qu Yuanxian was stunned and looked at the army behind Zeng Sanshui. “What about them?”

Zeng Sanshui said indifferently, “Don’t worry, someone will take care of them! We’re already on a diplomatic mission to Carefree Kingdom, and the emperor has no intention of fighting.” Moreover, Chu Tianbao’s face was very similar to Emperor Ling Hui’s when he was young.

Since he did not want to fight, it meant that this son was still very important to him.

The southern frontier would definitely become the territory of their Ling Kingdom again.

Qu Yuanxian saw excitement and seriousness in his eyes. Moreover, if he did not agree, he would forcefully follow, so he nodded in agreement.

After checking everything and confirming that there was no mistake with their ident.i.ties, Lu Ye followed the standard of a professional welcoming envoy.

Everyone stood on the spot and saluted. They fired their guns at the sky as a form of welcome. “Welcome to the Carefree Kingdom.”

At this moment, it was as if they had walked into a utopian country.

Zeng Sanshui was already curious about their weapons. He leaned over and tried to get close to Lu Ye. “What’s the name of this thing?”

Lu Ye said matter-of-factly, “Rifle.”

Zeng Sanshui instantly pushed his luck. “We’re on a diplomatic mission to your Carefree Kingdom and have brought so many gifts. When we go back, can you give me a rifle too?”

Lu Ye glanced at him. “Firearms and ammunition are under the military’s control. Those who steal, sell, or use firearms without permission will be punished. In serious cases, they will be sentenced to death. I can’t. If you want them, you can ask our Great Empress.”

Zeng Sanshui pursed his lips. He thought for a moment and knew that Bai Wutong would definitely refuse to give him the gun. He pointed at their watchtower and asked, “What’s the thing that sparkles every night?”

Everyone p.r.i.c.ked up their ears. On their first night here, when they saw the patrol lights lit up, they thought that the people of Carefree Kingdom knew magic and had plucked the stars in the sky.

Zeng Sanshui had simply asked what they were most curious about.

Lu Ye said casually, “That’s a patrol light. It’s also a type of electric light. There’s no need to make a fuss.”

The southern frontier was clearly the place that was known to be uncivilized, yet they looked at them as if they were country b.u.mpkins, and no one could refute him.

Indeed, their Ling Kingdom did not have electric lights yet.

Zeng Sanshui was filled with complaints and could not help but spit them out at Qu Yuanxian. “You said that you stayed in the southern frontier. Have you really stayed there? Why don’t you know anything?”

A bitter smile appeared on Qu Yuanxian’s face. When he was in the southern frontier, there were indeed no electric lights.

Such a magical thing must have been developed by Bai Wutong with everyone.

Thinking about it, he was filled with regret that he could not witness these miracles.

After walking past two undulating mountains, they saw buildings made of cement. They were squarish and did not have any extra decorations, but they were abnormally dignified and solemn at the border.

Lu Ye said to them, “Rest here for the night. We’ll set off at five tomorrow morning.”

Bai Xinshui looked at the gray cement house and suddenly put on airs. “How can 1 stay in such a simple residence?”

“That’s right. These houses are so eerie. Is this how your Carefree Kingdom treats guests?” Jia Yuqin said.

When Bai Wutong replied in the letter, she told Lu Ye that if the envoy was polite, they would be polite. Otherwise, they would follow the rules.

Bai Xinshui had not even gone in to take a look, but she already despised the place. Lu Ye did not spoil them either. “We only have such a simple house. Since this Consort doesn’t like it, i think you’re quite used to living in tents. Then go stay in tents!”

Before Bai Xinshui could speak, Lu Ye said loudly, “Team One, come out and build a tent on the gra.s.s field for this Consort as a show of hospitality..” Then he asked Qu Yuanxian, “Is there anyone else who wants to stay in the tent?”
