Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1075

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1069: Farce

"Indeed..." Shen Tianzhi added fuel to the fire, "It’s just about the grain, why bother with stationing troops, relocating Tianfeng citizens, and even hiring our people! It’s all a big fuss!"

Sal Khan: "..." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"What does Yan Kingdom think?" Liu Rushi said, glancing at the court officials of Yan for their opinion, completely disregarding Tianfeng Kingdom’s perspective.

Murong Yan’s lips curled into a smile as he picked up the teacup before him. This renowned speaker of Zhou, Liu Rushi, never disappoints, which is why Minister Shen of Zhou sits there as steady as a mountain, sipping tea without a worry.

"Minister Liu is right!" The Yan officials nodded in agreement, "Such a simple matter, why make it so complicated! They want to station their troops and have us send soldiers!"

Sal Khan glared at Liu Rushi, feeling displeased: "Renting land... no matter if it’s a natural disaster or human calamity, the grain harvest is all on us, but if buying grain..."

"Buying grain, regardless of natural disasters or human calamities, whatever you need, we’ll provide, isn’t Tianfeng Kingdom taking advantage?" Liu Rushi retorted, "The Monarch of Tianfeng insists so, which inevitably raises suspicions that Tianfeng wants to lease our Zhou’s territory with ulterior motives."

The Yan officials nodded along, increasingly convinced that Liu Rushi was right.

"This alliance could be simple to establish!" Liu Rushi crossed his arms within his sleeves, sitting up straight, "Currently, the relationship between Tianfeng and Xiliang seems remarkably good, Xiliang is willing to lease land and territory to you, that’s not our concern! However... Tianfeng’s army absolutely cannot cross into Zhou’s borders by even a step! Every year, choose a day, and we will deliver grain and supplies to the border, a clean and crisp transaction."

"Agreed..." The Yan officials looked at Murong Li and Murong Yan, "What do His Majesty and the Ninth Prince think?"

Murong Yan stroked the teacup with his fingers, smiling: "I think... it’s excellent."

"What does His Majesty think?" Liu Rushi also consulted Bai Qingyan.

"Excellent!" Bai Qingyan nodded.

"If the Monarch of Tianfeng also agrees, we shall redraft the alliance!" Liu Rushi stated.

If Tianfeng merely wants grain, this method is the best for Tianfeng. But if Tianfeng refuses to redraft the alliance, it will reveal the ambition. The officials from both Zhou and Yan attending here aren’t fools.

Sal Khan was contemplating a solution, lips tightly sealed, turning to look at the Great Shaman’s disciple.

The disciple’s gaze focused on Bai Qingyan, watching her intently while muttering to himself, sensing Bai Qingyan as a divinely chosen ruler for this land... but also not.

Sal Khan’s eyelid twitched, raising an eyebrow to inquire the disciple of the Great Shaman, noticing he was looking at Yan’s Ninth Prince.

The disciple clutched his clothes tightly, feeling the same sense he got from the Ninth Prince.

The disciple’s back was already drenched in sweat, unsure whether to inform His Majesty that he couldn’t ascertain whether Yan’s Ninth Prince or the Empress of Zhou is the divinely chosen ruler for this land.

He thought, perhaps... is it their parents, whose flesh and blood might become the ruler of this land?

No, that’s not right...
