After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

The three people from the Southern Dynasty sat down, and Emperor Chengren ordered people to carry the box away.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the sitting Saint Lingjia and always felt something was weird.

This person is so strange...

As if sensing her gaze, Saint Lingjia raised her eyes slightly and met Jiang Ruoli's gaze.

Suddenly, her eyes were startled, a gleam of light flashed in her azure eyes, and then returned to normal in an instant.

Jiang Ruoli didn't notice that she was dazzled by the other person's blue eyes for a moment, and then she looked away.

At this time, a loud voice sounded from outside the hall:

"What's this about hundreds of butterflies following you? It's just some cheap tricks. Your Majesty the Great Cheng really hasn't seen the world!"

Before the message was passed, Prince Agus of Beixin strode into the hall, followed by Princess Alia and envoys from Beixin.

There was also a huge mastiff following at Alia's feet.

When he saw the person coming, the smile on Emperor Chengren's face faded and his eyes turned cold.

"The royal family of Beixin State is still so arrogant." Emperor Chengren said lightly.

"what!"

Argus sneered, and without any greeting, he spoke arrogantly:

"It's too shabby for the Southern Dynasty to send some flowers and plants. It's really not presentable."

"Someone, come here! Bring up the tribute from Beixin Kingdom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards from the Northern Xin Kingdom entered the hall carrying an equally huge box.

But as soon as I entered the hall, a foul smell was smelled.

The officials present couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.

Seeing this, Agus laughed sarcastically, "Your Majesty, what we from Beixin brought is our most important gift - the mountain black sheep."

After saying that, he raised his hand and opened the lid.

I saw a huge wooden box filled with black sheep carcasses. The carcasses had been skinned and stacked bloody in the box. If you looked closely, you could see maggots crawling all over the sheep's bodies.

As the box was opened, the foul smell became stronger. When everyone saw what was in the box, it became even more unbearable. Some of them even leaned over the table and began to dry heave.

Xiao Yujing and the Jiang family frowned fiercely, and Jiang Ci'an glared at Agus fiercely.

Concubine Rou and Xiao Yuyao had pale faces and were speechless.

Several people from the Southern Dynasty looked at Agus with cold eyes.

When Jiang Ruoli saw the scene in the box, she almost died on the spot.

What had she done wrong to deserve such disgusting things?

Unable to hold back a dry heave, Jiang Ruoli quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to suppress the feeling of nausea.

Seeing how miserable she looked, Xiao Yujing's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

The sound of retching could be heard one after another in the hall.

Seeing how uncomfortable everyone was, Agus' smile widened.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but dry-heaved, and Emperor Chengren quickly picked up the teacup and handed it to her.

His face was cold and he spoke in a deep voice: "Agus, what do you mean? Is this how you, the Northern Xin Kingdom, pay tribute? Sending us a pile of rotting corpses?!"

Agus said in surprise: "Your Majesty, how can you say that?"

"Black sheep is the most noble food of our Beixin. Usually only the royal family can eat a little bit of it. Now that we have brought so much, can't it express our sincerity?"

"It's just that the journey from Beixin to Kyoto is long, and we can't control the possibility that the black mutton will become smelly or spoiled along the way..."

Although it is already the end of August, the temperature has not dropped. The journey from Beixin to Kyoto takes at least half a month. It would be strange if the raw meat does not attract maggots and insects in such a long time!

"You could have brought live sheep, but you chose to bring raw mutton. I think you have no intention of paying tribute at all!" an official could not help but reprimand.

Agus opened his mouth in surprise, his tone full of disbelief:

"How can you say that, sir?"

"These black goats are living creatures. If we fail to take good care of them on the road and some of them get lost or run away, wouldn't that mean the loss of the tribute? Then I will be punished!"

"you!"

The official was furious and was about to curse, but Agus shook his head again and said with great grievance:

"Since Dacheng is not pleased with our sincerity from the Beixin Kingdom, then let it go to waste."

"Thunder!"

The mastiff next to Alia heard his name and walked over to Agus.

"Thunder, eat the meat." Agus said with a smile.

"Thunder" walked to the box, sniffed the smell of rotten meat, turned around and left without looking back, and continued to stand beside Alia.

Alia sneered, "Brother, Lei Ting is my beloved dog. He usually eats very precious food. Not all meat can fit his mouth."

Agus laughed, "It's my brother's fault."

After saying that, he looked at Emperor Chengren.

"Since dogs won't eat it, then we can only trouble His Majesty the Great Cheng to accept this box of tribute."

"I've heard that the Dacheng royal family has always been frugal. We can't waste this box full of mutton!"

"you!"

Emperor Chengren frowned and was about to get angry, but Xiao Yujing beside him raised his hand and held down his arm.

Xiao Yujing smiled faintly and looked at Agus below.

"How can the Dacheng royal family let down Prince Agus's kindness?"

"Someone, take this box of mutton down and dispose of it properly!"

Several guards entered the hall and quickly carried the large box down.

A group of palace maids came in with palm-leaf fans and dispersed the stench in the hall, and everyone's faces looked a little better.

Agus looked at Xiao Yujing and laughed, "As expected of the Crown Prince of Dacheng, he is indeed courageous!"

Xiao Yujing nodded slightly.

The people of Beixin took their seats, and then envoys from other small countries also presented tributes from their own countries one after another.

Emperor Chengren forced himself to smile again, and seeing that the tributes sent by these small countries were quite thoughtful, he gave rewards to each of them.

Agus was very unhappy when he saw this.

"What does your Majesty Dacheng mean by this? Why didn't you reward us Beixin alone? Are you dissatisfied with the tribute?"

Emperor Chengren's face turned cold, he frowned and said nothing.

Xiao Yujing curled the corners of his lips, "Prince Agus, why are you in such a hurry? There will be rewards, and I won't let you down."

Upon hearing this, Agus spoke loudly, "Thank you very much, Prince Dacheng!"

The envoys took their seats and Eunuch Luo announced the start of the palace banquet.

The palace servants entered the hall one after another carrying dishes.

Because of the presence of envoys from various countries, the dishes at this palace banquet were richer than before.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the dishes on the table and nodded with satisfaction.

However, the smell of rotten meat had not completely dissipated yet, so she had no appetite. She sat in her seat quietly holding the teacup, waiting for the nausea to dissipate.

After the dishes were served, dancers and musicians came into the hall and began to perform.

The piano sounds melodious and the dance moves gracefully.

Agus took a sip of wine, rolled his eyes, and looked at his sister Alia beside him.

I saw Alia staring at Jiang Ci'an opposite her.

Agus's eyes flashed and he kicked her under the table.

Alia looked away unhappily and looked at him.

Agus coughed lightly and suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, to be honest, my brother and I came here this time to form an alliance with the Crown Prince of Dacheng."

What?

Jiang Ruoli, who was drinking tea, suddenly choked and started coughing violently.
