The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Lin Xiaohe nodded and said, "Of course, we will host a banquet tonight to entertain the envoys from the Purple Gold Country."

Zhao Lishi asked, "Will all the royal family members come?"

Su Mingde replied: "That's natural."

Ouyang Qingyu stood aside, his eyes flickering slightly, and suddenly asked:

"Your Majesty, why not let General Wang Luda attend the dinner? General Wang is famous and we can let the Purple Gold Country's envoys see the style of our country's generals."

Hearing Wang Luda's name, Zhao Lishi's face darkened, he looked at Ouyang Qingyu, and without saying a word, he followed Mu Han out of the Golden Palace.

After Zhao Lishi left.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaohe showed a worried look on his face:

"Old General Wang Luda is not in good condition right now. I am worried that something might happen to him at the dinner."

Zheng Xuanlang hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the old general has taken Situ Liufeng's medicine and is now much more stable. He won't hurt anyone anymore."

Lin Xiaohe thought for a moment and finally agreed: "Okay, then let Wang Luda attend the dinner."

……

The lights were on and the palace was bustling. Lin Xiaohe hosted a banquet for the envoys from Zijin Country to show the friendship between the two countries.

The ministers took their seats one after another.

Mu Han entered the banquet as an envoy from Xuan Yue Kingdom. He had an upright posture and a stern look in his eyes, and he glanced at everyone at the banquet.

However, he did not see Lin Wanwan, and he was already very unhappy.

Zhao Lishi stood there, looking at Mu Han's gloomy face. He glanced around the banquet hall and found that Lin Wanwan was not there.

Zhao Lishi sat in his seat and said angrily:

"Huh! What does Xuan Yue Nation mean?

Princess An Ning didn't attend such an important dinner. This clearly shows her lack of sincerity."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaohe said, "I will send someone to invite the princess right away."

After saying this, he immediately ordered the eunuch beside him to invite Lin Wanwan.

After a while, Fen Tao came to report.

She bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the princess said that her confinement period has not yet passed and she cannot leave the house, let alone enter the palace for the banquet."

Lin Xiaohe frowned when he heard this.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager beside her suddenly became furious and turned to look at Lin Xiaohe with a look of reproach in her eyes:

"What's going on? Emperor, have you put An Ning under house arrest?"

Lin Xiaohe was speechless.

The Empress Dowager looked at him like this, her face full of anger. She stood up suddenly, waved her hand anxiously at the old nanny beside her, and said sternly:

"Go quickly! Go and invite Princess An Ning to me. There must be no mistakes."

The old nanny quickly responded, "Yes, Queen Mother. I will go right away."

After saying this, the old lady turned around and left in a hurry.

The important officials in the court all looked anxious and were talking among themselves.

Su Mingde looked at Ouyang Qingyu with concern:

"Did Princess An Ning really confine herself to house arrest?"

Ouyang Qingyu poured a glass of wine and said nothing.

Instead, Zheng Yan agreed, "Yes, in this situation, these people from Zijin are clearly coming for the princess. Only the princess can come forward to solve this urgent problem."

Ouyang Qingyu held the wine glass and drank, he knew it in his heart.

Zheng Xuanlang said: "Well, the princess is very smart and will definitely be able to resolve this crisis."

After a period of time.

Everyone's eyes looked towards the entrance of the palace from time to time, expecting Lin Wanwan to appear.

The old lady came back quickly to reply.

She panted slightly, bowed respectfully and said, "Queen Mother, Princess An Ning is already asleep."

The Empress Dowager was furious when she heard this. "Emperor! Look, what should we do?"

The Empress Dowager's reproach echoed in the palace, making Lin Xiaohe's face look very ugly.

Hearing that even the Empress Dowager went to invite Lin Wanwan, she refused to come, Zhao Lishi's heart tightened and he secretly turned his gaze to Mu Han.

Mu Han was sitting at his seat, having already taken out the scimitar from behind, and was wiping it on the ground with his sleeve until it shone brightly. His anger was like a volcano about to erupt, making Zhao Lishi and the twenty warriors feel a strong sense of oppression.

Lin Xiaohe said: "Since the princess is unwilling to come, the Purple Gold Country envoy, please have your meal first."

"Heh... let you eat?!" Mu Han suddenly roared, stood up abruptly, and overturned the table in front of him with both hands.

The cups, plates and bowls on the table flew out in an instant, making a loud "crackling" sound.

"Ah!" Even the palace maids beside them screamed in fright and hid aside.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene!

The ministers opened their eyes wide, their mouths agape, their faces filled with shock and fear!

They had never thought that an envoy could have such a bad temper!

Zhao Lishi was even more frightened and trembling. He looked at Mu Han, his heart filled with fear.

Mu Han stood there, his chest heaving violently! For a moment, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe smoothly and took deep breaths.

Zhao Lishi bravely shouted: "Your Majesty, since you don't like Princess An Ning, why not let her marry? Otherwise, we will go back and send troops immediately!"

Lin Xiaohe's face turned very ugly. He didn't expect things to develop to this point. What on earth were these envoys here for?

Princess An Ning who talks all the time!

Lin Xiaohe looked at Zhao Lishi, suppressed his anger and said, "This is a misunderstanding. I did not deliberately embarrass the princess. The confinement was requested by the princess herself."

Zhao Lishi was very tough: "Humph! No matter what, if we don't see Princess An Ning today, our Zijin Nation will never give up."

At this time, the ministers began to discuss.

"Could it be that Princess An Ning's immortal name has spread to the Purple Gold Country?"

"Do you want to be so smart?"

"What should we do? If it leads to a war between the two countries, it will be troublesome."

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the princess to try again?"

Lin Xiaohe fell into deep thought. He knew that this matter was very serious. If it could not be properly resolved, it would probably lead to a war.

He took a deep breath and looked at Ouyang Qingyu: "How about you go and invite him?"

Ouyang Qingyu took a sip of wine and said, "Your Majesty, I am not favored and cannot invite the princess."

Mu Han heard this, and he turned his gaze to Ouyang Qingyu and asked, "What is your relationship with Princess An Ning?"

Ouyang Qingyu heard this and looked at Mu Han: "I am her husband."

Ouyang Qingyu had already realized that these envoys were coming for Lin Wanwan.

How could he tell Lin Wanwan about these things and invite her over in person, as he would be walking into the tiger's mouth.

Ouyang Qingyu raised his wine glass and smiled. However, the princess was smart and it was hard to say who was the sheep and who was the tiger.

Mu Han was about to explode.

At this time, Wang Luda slowly walked into the banquet hall accompanied by his guards.

Mu Han recognized him at a glance, and saw that his eyes were a little dull, but he still looked calm.

Zhao Lishi looked at Wang Luda and immediately stepped forward to greet him: "General Wang Luda, long time no see."

Wang Luda seemed not to hear what Zhao Lishi said and just stood there quietly.

This made Mu Han realize that something was wrong, and he looked at Wang Luda with deep murderous intent.

Wang Luda's eyes suddenly became crazy, as if he had seen something terrible.

"It's you!" Wang Luda roared and rushed towards Mu Han.

His movements were extremely fast, and before anyone could react, he had already rushed in front of Mu Han.

Mu Han frowned tightly and quickly dodged to the side.

"Quick, stop General Wang!" Lin Xiaohe shouted loudly.

The ministers panicked and fled everywhere.

After Wang Luda missed his attack, his eyes turned red, like an enraged beast. Seeing this, the guards rushed forward and tried to control him.

Wang Luda was extremely strong. He swung his arm violently and threw the guard who was holding his arm away. The guard fell heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.

He pounced on the guard and started biting him.

The guard was unable to dodge and was bitten on the shoulder by him, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Ah!" The guard screamed, but was unable to break free from Wang Luda.

"Hahaha..." Mu Han looked at the crazy Wang Luda, was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

Unexpectedly, the person I have always been afraid of is Wang Luda!

He's crazy!

At the dinner, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Su Mingde's eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "How can this be possible? A mere envoy from the Purple Gold Country is so arrogant. How can this be tolerated?"

Zheng Yan, the Minister of War, also stood up and said in a serious tone:

"Your Majesty! He should be tied up and expelled from the country!"

Lin Xiaohe's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Someone come!"

The guards rushed in after hearing the order. Holding weapons in hand, they approached the envoys from Zijin Country aggressively.

However, the twenty warriors of Zijin Country were not afraid at all. They acted quickly and knocked all the guards to the ground in an instant. Their movements were so swift and powerful that people could not help but feel terrified.

Mu Han stood aside with a smug smile on his face. He raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of arrogance and confidence:

"I always like to speak with strength. Tomorrow afternoon, we will play three games. Best of three.

If Xuanyue Country defeats us, I will leave immediately and give you more favorable conditions. As a vassal state, we will pay tribute to you every year.

If you don’t win, I’ll give you three choices.”

Mu Han's voice was not loud, but it was full of oppression.

There was silence in the court, and everyone was shocked by the strength of the warriors of the Purple Gold Country.

Lin Xiaohe sat on the dragon chair: "What are the three choices?"

Mu Han stretched out a slender finger: "The first option is that our Zijin Country wants to attack Yunhai Country, and Xuanyue Country must borrow our passage and provide 100,000 combat weapons;"

Mu Han's cold voice was clearly heard by everyone.

There was a sudden silence at the dinner party!

Not only did they ask for a passage, they actually asked for 100,000 weapons! This would undoubtedly weaken the military strength of Xuanyue Country. If, as Ouyang Qingyu said, they attacked Xuanyue Country during the passage, the consequences would be disastrous!

Mu Han did not give everyone much time to digest the first option.

He extended his second finger and continued, "The second option is that Xuanyue Nation cedes the three neighboring cities of Rihe City, Pingyang City, and Yunxi City to Zijin Nation."

This time, everyone was even more shocked!

The ministers looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.

Su Mingde shouted angrily, "The three cities are extremely important to Xuanyue Country. Don't even think about it?"

Zheng Yan, the Minister of War, immediately said, "You are daydreaming!"

Wang Sha angrily said, "Did you forget the last time my father beat the shit out of you?!"

While everyone was still immersed in the shock of the first two choices.

Mu Han simply ignored them, raised his third finger again, and offered a third option:

"The third option is that Xuan Yue Nation will send Princess An Ning to Zi Jin Nation."

This choice was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the court.

what? !

Or do you want Princess An Ning? !

Everyone's shock reached its peak!

All the ministers almost suspected that they had heard it wrong. Could it be that Princess An Ning alone was comparable to the previous two choices?

Mu Han looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd, turned his gaze to Ouyang Qingyu, and repeated:

"Third, hand over Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan."

Lin Xiaohe's expression turned very ugly. He clenched his fists tightly. Before he could speak, he heard Mu Han continue to say:

"Let's compete tomorrow. Your Majesty, you must consider it carefully. Otherwise, it means that Xuanyue Country is not sincere enough, the peace treaty will be invalidated, and the Purple Gold Country's army will attack Xuanyue Country!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the ministers turned pale.

Lin Xiaohe sat upright in the main seat with a gloomy face. His eyes were fixed on Mu Han opposite him, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.

He had already lost his patience with Mu Han's demands.

"Too arrogant! Why are you so arrogant in Xuanyue Country?!"

Facing Lin Xiaohe's sudden roar, Mu Han was not moved at all, and his face still had that domineering and sinister expression.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of provocation: "Based on strength. Prepare well, do you hear me?"

Lin Xiaohe was shocked, listening to his cold and firm voice, as if he was giving him an order that could not be disobeyed.

Lin Xiaohe glared at Mu Han. After a moment, he nodded heavily: "Okay, we will have the match tomorrow."
