Not only was he not given his Ann Country, his official, Jiang Yi, had even scolded him on how important Huan Country was. The Huan Country envoys could no longer endure and said angrily: "Could it be that the alliances between Huan and Huan are not as important as this county?"

His words caused the faces of all the ministers of the Ann Country present to simultaneously change, while Yue Ze subconsciously leaned forward as well.

Jiang Yi laughed coldly, and said: "If Your Country broke the alliance of two nations just because of a county, then your Huan Country would be too petty. Are you using the agreement between the two countries to talk about matters now? Are you threatening my king? Don't you think it's too much to say those words? "

After Yue Ze heard this, his face also darkened. Being able to form an alliance with two nations was naturally for the best, but if Huan Country was something that anyone could bully at will, then that would be a grave mistake, and Ann Country was not something that anyone could bully and bully.

He said with a stern expression, "This king is a little tired. If Emissary Huan has nothing else to discuss, you should return to the Tavern to rest first!"

"Your Majesty An Wang ?" Hearing Yue Ze order him to leave, the Huan Country envoy became anxious and wanted to speak. Yue Ze turned his head and looked away, no longer looking at him.

Seeing that, the Huan Country envoy's face became ugly, he stared at Yue Ze for a long time, then fiercely flung his sleeves and turned to leave.

After the Huan Country envoys left, there were whispers in the hall.

Most of the people supported Jiang Yi and did not agree with him giving one country to another, but there were still some ministers that thought that one country should be given, and the one being represented was the Right Prime Minister, Sima Gu.

With the Huan Country envoy from before, Sima Gu couldn't express his disagreement with Jiang Yi. Now that the envoy had left, he had no more worries.

Sima Gu stood out and cupped his hands towards Yue Ze, "Great King, compared to the alliance of the two nations in terms of Ann Country And Hui Country, the territory of a county is insignificant. If this matter impairs the alliance between the two nations, it is not worth it.

This was exactly what Yue Ze was worried about. Otherwise, he would have rejected the Huan Country envoy on the spot.

Just as Sima Gu finished speaking, Jiang Yi immediately continued, "A county is insignificant compared to the alliance between the two countries. What about two counties, what about three counties, four counties, or even more counties? Today, if we let Huan Country use the alliance as a threat to force our country to split one county amongst them, then tomorrow, Huan Country will use this as a threat to force our country to split even more counties, to force us to swallow an elephant with a human heart that is not satisfied, and if Huan Country thinks that our country is weak and easy to bully, then the bitter consequences will be endless in the future! "

After Yue Ze heard this, both his eyes immediately widened and his body shivered. That's right, this matter was no longer a matter of whether or not they were divided into a county, but a question of who or who was the next in the Ann Country And Hui Country.

He waved his hand and said, "Sir Jiang, do not exaggerate things. His Highness Duke Huan is not an insatiable person, and what's more, the division of territories this time is unfair to our Huan Country. The Huan Country demanding a county from our country is not an insult to our country.

He pointed at his feet, and roared loudly: "Prime Minister Sima, please look clearly, this is the Ann Country Hall, not the Huan Country Hall, you are my, not its Right Prime Minister, who are you speaking for right now?"

On the surface, they were split into civil servants, and were controlled by the Right Prime Minister. In reality, the Right Prime Minister did not really control Feng Chang, and was normally responsible to the Sovereign King. Furthermore, Jiang Yi was the most senior official in the assembly, so even if he were to count, the Right Prime Minister's Sima Gu was still his junior. Therefore, Jiang Yi used the attitude of a senior in the assembly and did not pay attention to anyone, even to the Right Prime Minister, he still dared to talk back, or even to be disrespectful.

Sima Gu's face alternated between red and white after being scolded by Jiang Yi, but Yue Ze actually agreed with what he said. Sima Gu sighed helplessly, then cupped his hands towards Yue Ze and said, "Great King, you have to differentiate between the best and the best.

"Humph!" If he had to give up a county just to curry favor with the Huan Country, then he would be short-sighted and lose big because of a small loss! " Jiang Yi sneered from the side.

Yue Ze pondered as he slowly nodded his head, feeling that Jiang Yi's words were indeed reasonable.

He pondered for a moment more, raised his head, and said to Sima Gu, "Prime Minister, I feel that what My beloved deputy Jiang says is not unreasonable. As for the matter of dividing the Huan Country, we can discuss it later. I still have to consider it more carefully."

"Your Majesty ?"

"No need to talk about it, let's do it like this first!" Yue Ze waved his hand, he stood up and said: "Withdraw!"

Just then, Jiang Yi cupped his hands together and said: "Great King, this humble subject still has one more thing to say."

"Please speak, My beloved deputy Jiang." Yue Ze was very polite to the most senior official in the imperial court. Back then, when he had inherited the position of the Throne of Ann Country, Jiang Yi had been the one to host the ceremony.

Jiang Yi laughed: "Great King, the jade that was found in the Chizhou Region not long ago has already been made into a jade horse. It is now being transported to the capital.

Yue Ze's eyes instantly lit up, and he asked with a smile, "It's actually so fast ? Has My beloved deputy Jiang seen it? "

"Yes, great king. That jade horse was as tall as a person and was about the same size as a real horse. Its entire body was sparkling and translucent, creating a magnificent sight. Right now, it is placed within the sacrificial temple."

"Go, go, go. This King has to see for herself." Yue Ze laughed as he spoke to the left and right, "Chizhou County is truly a treasure trove. Have any of you ever seen a jade that can be made into the size of a real horse? "Haha ?"

Yue Ze was filled with pride as he spoke.

Seeing that, Sima Gu slowly lowered his head. Now that Jiang Yi had mentioned this, it was undoubtedly getting worse, and the King was even more reluctant to part with either her or her Chizhou.1

After accompanying Yue Ze to the sacrificial temple to admire the jade horse, Jiang Yi finally returned to his own residence. In his study, there was already a person waiting there. He was the Minister of Feng Country, Imperial Minister Zhou Ye.

Seeing Jiang Yi coming in from outside, Zhou Ye immediately stood up and cupped his hands in a salute, at the same time he asked: "Is Elder Jiang in the imperial court doing well?"

Jiang Yi laughed out loud. He did not speak immediately, but rather, he first washed his hands and wiped his face, slowly. When everyone had left, he said: "The King has already refused the Huan Country envoy."

Aiya! Zhou Ye's heart finally sank back into her stomach. She said with a smile, "It must have been all thanks to Elder Jiang's help that I was able to get His Royal Highness to reject Emissary Huan!"

"I dare not say so." Jiang Yi waved his hand: "But this old man has been a official for dozens of years, and even the King has been raised by this old man. If I say something, the King will still believe me."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Elder Jiang is highly respected in Ann Country, so no one can compare with him. " Zhou Ye smiled and nodded. At the same time, he took out a long Brocade Box from his sleeve, respectfully handed it over to Jiang Yi, and said with a smile: "Elder Jiang, this is a gift from my King."

"Oh?" Jiang Yi calmly received the Brocade Box and opened it. Suddenly, a bright light shot out, making people feel that it was dazzling. After he recovered for a while, he focused his eyes and realized that there were four Night Pearls placed side by side inside the Brocade Box.

The Night Pearls themselves were already very precious, and what was even more precious was that these four Night Pearls were the same size and crystal clear without any impurities. Clearly, these four pearls were a set, which undoubtedly multiplied their value.

Jiang Yi was a person who knew what was good for him. With one look, he could tell that this was a priceless treasure, much more precious than the gold and silver that Zhou Ye had given him. Jiang Yi's old eyes stared fixedly at the four Night Pearls, and only after a long while did he regain his senses from his shock. His hand that held the Brocade Box began to tremble, and he stuttered: "This ? "This is too precious, this old man really doesn't dare ?" He originally wanted to say that he did not dare to accept it, but both of his hands were tightly holding onto the Brocade Box, afraid that it would be taken away by someone.

Zhou Ye laughed secretly in her heart, the King was right, she was not afraid of the King's greed, but was afraid that the King would not be greedy, and that the King would not let her side have any weakness.

He lightly patted the Brocade Box, and said in a low voice: "This time, Elder Jiang has helped my country, so it is only right for my country to express our gratitude. Elder Jiang, please be at ease and accept it!"

After all, Jiang Yi was someone who had seen the world, and quickly recovered from his shock. He nonchalantly placed the Brocade Box on the table, and then said seriously: "Mr. Zhou, you're wrong, the thing this old man is helping is not your Feng Country. Instead, it's for the sake of my Ann Country.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Elder Jiang's words are extremely true, and this recent life truly admires Elder Jiang's loyalty and loyalty in protecting the nation. " After pausing for a moment, Zhou Ye cupped her hands together and said: "Elder Jiang, I will not disturb you any longer, I will take my leave first. I may have another request in the future, at that time, I hope that Elder Jiang can help me a lot so that we can form an alliance and prosper forever."

"Yes!" Jiang Yi nodded his head, and said: "It is good for the two countries, this old man will naturally help. Mr. Zhou, take care. It would be inconvenient for this old man to go out and see you off. "

"Aiya, Elder Jiang is too polite, too polite! "I'll take my leave tonight!" Zhou Ye bowed again, then turned around and left.

After he left, Jiang Yi once again picked up the Brocade Box, and carefully enjoyed the show, but at the same time revealed a smile on his face. What happened today, was just like fawning over the Feng Country, protecting it, and even obtaining a treasure, it was truly killing three birds with one stone!

It was unknown if it was because Jiang Yi was old or if he was just pretending, but his killing three birds with one stone could cause the alliance between the two nations of Ann Country And Hui Country to break down just like that.

Li Xin was not a righteous man, but he would not bully his own allies, but this time, Ann Country's failure caused Li Xin to be angry and frustrated. There was still one more crucial point, he could not explain it to the outside of the hall.

In order to exterminate the Mo, the Huan Country had sent out several hundred thousand men, expending a great sum of money and fodder. In the end, they had not obtained anything, so how could the citizens and ministers be willing to do so? In order to calm his country's discontent, Li Xin could only maintain a tough attitude towards outsiders.
