Lu Ye looked at him coldly. “This is our Carefree Kingdom. If you can’t even respect us, why should we be on good terms?”
Bai Shining said angrily, “You were also from Ling Kingdom back then!”
Lu Ye sneered. “Before the Ling Kingdom was established, I was still a citizen of the Yan Kingdom!”
“Hurry up and pack their things and send them out of the border.”
The soldier took another step forward, looking like he was going to tie them up.
As the envoy to the southern frontier, even if not for his wife and children, if the mission ended like this, the world would still laugh at him.
Qu Yuanxian’s face darkened as he looked at Bai Shining and said loudly, “Lord Bai, quickly invite the Consort out and apologize to this female military doctor!”
Bai Shining’s face turned pale. He looked arrogant, as if questioning how his daughter, who was the Crown Prince’s secondary consort, could apologize to a military doctor.
Qu Yuanxian could not help but scold, “Don’t tell me you want the emperor to punish you?”
Bai Shining suddenly came to his senses. If he messed up this mission, not only would he lose his life, but Bai Xinshui would also lose his position as the secondary consort.
He hurriedly went to the room to pull out Bai Xinshui, who was worn out from diarrhea, and scolded loudly, “Hurry up and apologize to the military doctor and the soldiers!”
Bai Xinshui and Bai Shining were indeed father and daughter. Their faces were filled with disdain.
They represented the Ling Kingdom, and the Carefree Kingdom was just a small country. What was there to be afraid of?
Bai Xinshui had never seen the power of pistols and bombs, but Zeng Sanshui and the others understood it very well.
If they really fought, it would be easy for the other party to fight a hundred people alone.
Especially since the soldiers of the southern frontier were eating so well and the training intensity was so high.
Before completely understanding their background, it was really not appropriate to fight a war casually.
He did not want his soldiers to be sacrificed so easily.
Moreover, Carefree Kingdom was much more interesting than he had imagined.
He still wanted to spend five taels of silver to gamble on stones.
Zeng Sanshui’s sharp gaze swept across Bai Xinshui with killing intent. “Consort, do as the Romans do when in Rome. Hurry up!”
Bai Xinshui could hear the threat in Zeng Sanshui’s words and recalled Emperor Ling Hui’s terrifying imperial might.
If she wrecked the diplomatic mission, the two countries would be at war.
Emperor Ling Hui originally only wanted to let the country be at peace and recover. There was no guarantee that she would not be dismembered.
Bai Xinshui bit her lip with a pale face and did not speak for a long time.
Lu Ye did not want to see her dawdle. “Deport them.”
The soldier accepted the order again. “Yes!”
The soldier stepped forward to grab them. Bai Xinshui finally panicked. She lowered her head and said like a mosquito, “I spoke without thinking. It was all unintentional.”
These words were really forced, as if anything could be resolved if she said that it was ‘unintentional’.
Lu Ye waved his hand with a firm expression as he continued to chase them out.
Bai Xinshui clenched her fists tightly, feeling humiliated.
Under the gaze of Zeng Sanshui, her father and Qu Yuanxian, who gestured for her to continue, she had no choice but to compromise. She half bowed to Tao Yue. “Doctor, I was rude just now. 1 hope you won’t hold it against me.”
She did not dare to say the word ‘secondary consort’ again and really gave in.
Tao Yue’s lips curled up slightly as she looked at Lu Ye with bright eyes.
Lu Ye’s heart skipped a beat. He retracted his gaze and said to Qu Yuanxian, “This is the last time. If you dare to behave atrociously in our Carefree Kingdom again, it’s useless even if you apologize.”
Qu Yuanxian cupped his hands in return. “Thank you, General.”
Lu Ye led the soldiers back.
Qu Yuanxian looked at Bai Shining and instructed solemnly, “Lord Bai, please be careful with your actions!”
Qu Yuanxian left tirediy. Bai Shining clenched his fists and cursed in his heart, “Who does he think he is?”
His youngest daughter was the Crown Prince’s secondary consort, and his second daughter was the Great Empress of the Carefree Kingdom. It was not Qu Yuanxian’s position to criticize him.
When he met Bai Wutong, he would definitely make that idiot Lu Ye pay the price.
Zeng Sanshui spent the night comfortably. Bai Xinshui and Jia Yuqin, who had not taken any medicine, tossed and turned in bed the entire night.
The next day, they did not even have the strength to get into the carriage.
Zeng Sanshui mounted his horse and looked at the wide road in the southern frontier, feeling pleasantly surprised.
This was too f*cking rich!
The Great Empress of the Carefree Kingdom must have plundered countless people to build such a road.
The soldiers could not return to Carefree City, so no one provided explanations to Zeng Sanshui along the way. Zeng Sanshui’s gaze landed on Lan Jingbai’s silent face.
He rode his horse alongside Lan Jingbai and asked as if they were close friends, “Young man, how long have you been building this road? What material did you build it with?”
