My wife has a secret

Chapter 279 Establishing Prestige
"My Lord, do you still remember the Princess of Danyang?"

Before visiting Qi, envoys from various countries had a general understanding of the top leaders of the Qi royal family.

The news that Princess Danyang of Qi had lost power and was secretly imprisoned by the empress somewhere in the imperial city was something that could be discovered with a little investigation.

The Jin envoy really had the nerve to bring up this person in person, even in front of Marquis Guangping.

"of course I know."

Xu Qing's attitude was not quite the same as everyone imagined. He smiled faintly and asked, "The special envoy asked our princess whether she had any grudges against him?"

The Jin envoy paused for a moment, as if he had made a decision, and stepped forward and walked out of the queue.

He answered with a tired face, "To be honest, sir, when our country was at war with the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Chong sent a surprise attack on our vital areas, and many noble families were abducted."

What the Jin envoy mentioned made Xu Qing think of the rumors in the market.

When the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty were at war, they would place their families and relatives not far behind, as if it was a custom left over from the past.

Xiao Chong took advantage of this feature and launched a surprise attack in the fog, causing heavy losses to the Jin people in the battle.

"At that time, in order to eliminate the impact and protect the safety of that person, the country concealed the identity of a kidnapped girl. Later, our general attacked Shangjing City and found out after a careful investigation that she was traded to Qi by Xiao Chong and fell into the hands of Princess Danyang."

The Jin envoy continued, "These days, through the investigation of our spies, we know that he is working in your house, so we want to redeem him from you, Lord."

"A maid in the mansion?"

Xu Qing touched his chin and remembered something.

At the banquet hosted by Princess Danyang, he did take pictures of several female slaves from the Jin Kingdom. He brought them to the mansion and handed them over to the fourth room, Qin, for discipline.

The fact that the Jin envoy mentioned this matter in public clearly showed that the matter had reached a critical level and was extremely important to the Jin Kingdom.

"Yes, sir... She is the only daughter of our emperor, our eldest princess."

The Jin envoy took the initiative to expose Xu Qing's identity without waiting for his answer.

Because this matter cannot be hidden from those who are interested, not to mention that the princess's identity is extremely important. If she cannot be brought back, the lives of their relatives will be in danger.

"I see."

Xu Qing was just wondering why the Jin people were so obsessed with a female captive.

Now I suddenly understand. I had heard earlier that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had health problems due to years of war and was already terminally ill.

Embarrassingly, the Jin emperor had only one daughter alive, and the Jurchen nobles had always had major disagreements about the heir to the throne.

If this princess could return to the Jin Dynasty, it would have a huge impact on the domestic political situation.

"If the Kingdom of Jin agrees to my previous conditions, the princess will let you go immediately."

After hearing Xu Qing's threats to the other countries, the Jin envoys were prepared to make huge demands.

Who would have thought that Xu Qing's request was much simpler than he imagined.

Jin Guote wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and answered sincerely: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty has already explained the relevant matters before I set out, and these are all within the acceptable range."

"You Jurchens have lost all your dignity."

The Mongolian envoy looked at the servile appearance of the Jin envoy and snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain. It seems that the Guangping Marquis is very cunning, and wants to use the lost princess as a hostage to force the Jin Kingdom to kneel down, and then use the posture of cooperation to force the Mongols to bow their heads.

As long as the two big countries submit to Qi, the rest of the surrounding small countries will follow suit and dare not be the first to stand out.

In this way, countless countries would pay tribute to Qi, making its prestige and power increasingly stronger.

But Marquis Guangping was wrong about one thing. The Mongols were no pushovers. Although the warriors in their tribe could not compare to the strange men who wielded fire, each of them was mighty and powerful, and it was not difficult for them to dominate the world.

"You Qi State have picked the wrong opponent!"

After the Mongolian envoy made these harsh remarks, he was about to leave with everyone in the delegation. However, just as they reached the gate of the Honglu Temple, they suddenly felt dizzy and developed a strong sense of discomfort in their bodies.

"You...actually poisoned the food. What a dirty trick."

The Mongolian envoy looked at his fellow envoys who were lying on the ground and twitching, and pointed tremblingly at Xu Qing, as if he wanted to expose his crimes to the other countries present.

But what he could not imagine was that everyone was just concentrating on looking behind them, with no time to pay attention to other scenes.

As if realizing that something was wrong, the Mongolian envoy turned his head and looked where the attention was focused.

There, a "steel behemoth" that cannot be described in words seemed to have its mysterious curtain pulled back, slowly shedding its camouflage and appearing before everyone.

"All-weather camouflage, removed."

"Silent mode, release."

The sound of the huge propeller turning created circles of waves, raising the dust on the ground high into the air.

The pitch-black muzzles and missile holes faced the members of the Mongolian delegation, and the angular fuselage reflected the sunlight, making people dizzy.

"Guardian-07 is ready for battle, please give the order."

Xu Qing nodded, and in an instant, the small area was covered by the sound of heavy artillery fire, with loud rumbling sounds and fireworks burning high.

After three to five minutes of comprehensive coverage, the place where the Mongolian delegation had originally stood had turned into a scorched earth with pits and pits, forming an irregular depression.

The huge impact caused the surrounding bluestone roads to break.

This unimaginable scene left the diplomatic envoys from various countries silent, and they didn't know what words to use to describe what they saw and heard.

"This is Qi's new weapon, an armed helicopter."

Xu Qing explained to other countries lightly: "Although it is not very decent to attack the delegation, the Mongols have extended their hands too far in the capital, and the evidence of their crimes in Chengchengxuanfang is enough to fill a room."

The armed helicopter that Xu Qing mentioned only matched the appearance of the weapon equipment in his memory from his previous life.

Strictly speaking, this thing cannot be considered an armed helicopter, but due to the development of advanced technology, it has many unimaginable functions.

For example, unmanned driving, stealth, auxiliary intelligent AI systems, small nuclear power reactors, self-generated electricity, electromagnetic guns and various types of laser weapons.

With just one armed helicopter, Xu Qing can change the world.

The scary thing is that this thing is just the most inconspicuous transport weapon in Xu Qing’s arsenal.

"I hope you can report what you see and hear here to the authorities in your country truthfully. From now on... anyone who disobeys Da Qi will be killed without mercy."
