Wang Yue glanced at her and smiled, " Wang Yue Majesty misunderstands. I am currently carrying out an imperial decree and cannot linger here any longer."
"Of course, if Her Majesty the Empress does not need the assistance of the Great Liang Empire for the time being, Wang Yue can stay here and chat with her."
He's not in a hurry at all; the initiative is still with the Great Liang Empire. It's the Xinma Empire that should be anxious.
He had no interest in what the Queen of Xinma was up to, as long as it didn't interfere with him, nothing else mattered.
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Queen Mary An Da of Xinma stiffened. This guy's words had hit her sore spot, which greatly displeased her.
How could I possibly not need the help of the Great Liang Empire? Now is precisely the time when I need help.
However, she also knew in her heart that the other party wanted to travel around at this time not to see the local customs, but to specifically check out the situation in the Xinma Empire.
Now that the Great Liang Empire is powerful and has unified the entire Central Continent, their next step will inevitably be to expand to other continents.
In this situation, both the Moses Empire and the Xinma Empire are likely under consideration by the other.
That's why she naturally didn't want Great Liang to know too much about her. If Great Liang thought the Xinma Empire was easier to deal with, they would probably give up attacking the Moses Empire and choose the Xinma Empire instead.
This is quite likely to happen. After all, the Xinma Empire and the Great Liang Empire don't actually have any deep feelings for each other, and it's impossible for such a single interaction to make the other side truly consider their interests.
Once it's time to take action, there will be absolutely no mercy, after all, they were just strangers to begin with.
Her current hope is that Princess Dada can successfully persuade Lin Yi to let the Great Liang Empire send troops to help attack the Moses Empire, thus completing the alliance. That would be the best news.
This situation is really embarrassing.
Just then, a series of rapid footsteps came from outside, and a scout ran in.
"Report! People from the Moses Empire have arrived; they seem to want to form an alliance with us."
Upon hearing this, the minister of the Xinma Empire in the palace instantly became excited. This news was extremely crucial; this time, they could finally get rid of the threat from Great Liang.
You won't join us, huh? Then we'll join forces with the Moses Empire and come together to fight you.
Let's see how you handle that then. It's a joint attack from two great empires. Even a superpower wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack.
One minister couldn't contain his excitement and proclaimed loudly, "Commander Wang, you've heard that now, haven't you? If you don't ally with us, the Moses Empire will."
If our two countries were to unite, even your Great Liang Empire might not be able to withstand it.
Hahaha!
Upon hearing this, the ministers of the Xinma Empire breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to turn the tide.
hey-hey!
Upon hearing his words, a hint of disdain flashed in Wang Yue's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Did they tell you why they wanted to unite? Because our army has already taken over all their colonies."
They didn't tell you that they wanted to assassinate our emperor. In the end, our men almost beheaded the emperor of the Moses Empire in the palace and also broke several of Emperor Moshili's fingers.
Even if you unite, so what? Do you really think the prestige of the Great Liang Empire is a joke?
He knew they would say that, but what use is an alliance against absolute power?
The Great Liang is now in a position of power, having already driven out the forces of the Moses Empire on the seas. If they still want to cause trouble, they will only bring about their own destruction.
"What? The Great Liang has seized the colonies of the Moses Empire?"
"They even beheaded several of their elders, and the emperor had several fingers broken?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been so excited just moments before, instantly wilted like eggplants after a frost.
Whether they'll unite or not is unknown, but the Great Liang Empire is truly ruthless.
They were just about to join forces with the Moses Empire, but now they hesitated instantly. The other side's power was terrifying; it felt like they were going to have to fight two against one.
Cough cough!
Mary An Da coughed twice, then quickly changed the subject, asking, "Commander Wang, I wonder how Princess Dada is doing in Great Liang? Has she caused any trouble for Great Liang?"
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Wang Yue, who had been contemplating fleeing, immediately stopped. He couldn't very well not tell anyone.
He smiled and said, " Princess Dada is very popular among the people of Great Liang. However, it seems that Her Highness is fond of our Emperor and wants to give the Xinma Empire as her dowry. I wonder if the Empress agrees?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the ministers of the Xinma Empire turned grim.
For them, the idea of offering a country as dowry was merely a way to gain the trust of the Great Liang; in reality, they still resisted the idea of giving up a country.
After all, once the country is handed over to the Great Liang Empire, the lives of these former high-ranking officials will not be easy, so if they could, they would definitely not want to give it up.
Mary An Da forced a smile and said, "Of course, we keep our word. As long as Princess Dada marries your emperor, the Xinma Empire will be her dowry, and the Xinma Empire will belong to your Great Liang in the future."
Now that the matter has been made public, it's impossible to go back on one's word; that would be somewhat unreasonable.
Moreover, Lin Yi of the Great Liang Empire was no pushover. He knew that if he was being fooled, he would be furious, which would be a disaster for the Xinma Empire as well.
Upon hearing his words, a smile flashed in Wang Yue's eyes. This empress was quite interesting; she could say whatever she wanted to anyone.
However, he didn't press the matter further, and nodded with a smile, saying, "That's good. To be honest, our Emperor is willing to discuss sending troops because of Princess Dada."
"If you break the contract, it's hard to say what will happen. His Majesty's wrath would be a terrible thing."
At this point, he stopped trying to hide it. He came here to negotiate and ask for things; it was that simple.
To put it bluntly, the current Xinma Empire is nothing special. They are merely rulers in this region, but their strength is still somewhat lacking in other areas.
The Xinma Empire needs to know this. They are not in a position to negotiate with the Great Liang Empire. Otherwise, they will face a combined attack from the Moses Empire and the Great Liang Empire, and they will surely be wiped out.
"I've said that the Great Liang Empire is preparing to send troops to help attack the Moses Empire." The Queen of Xinma's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected such a turn of events, that there would be good news.
