Chapter 209 Senior Sister is Coming Soon
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
At the entrance to the royal palace, the ministers' voices were clear and resonant, as if they had rehearsed beforehand.
Qiu Yue's face was gloomy as she glanced at the group of ministers.
Only a very small number of these people were Pei Lun's confidants.
While the others disagreed with Pei Lun politically, they were remarkably in agreement on a certain point.
That is, a woman should not be allowed to be the ruler of Qiu Kingdom.
These people are gathered here today, each with their own ulterior motives. Pei Lun wants to regain the Tie family's trust, while the others want to take this opportunity to weaken Qiu Yue's prestige.
This serves to tell everyone that women are unfit for great responsibilities and unfit to be rulers.
Qiuyue had already figured out what these people were thinking.
“If the safety of my Qiu Kingdom, the peaceful life of its people, and even the vital trade routes that control the lifeline of my Qiu Kingdom all depend on a woman, then you ministers need not remain here.”
“You should all go home and retire. When something happens, we can just send a woman out. There’s no need for you to stand here pretending to be so virtuous.”
Qiu Yue's voice was cold, and her icy gaze swept over everyone.
"Your Majesty is right. Why don't you marry into my Tie family together with the Fourth Princess? Then Qiu Kingdom will be worry-free for a hundred years! Hahahaha."
The envoy from the Tie family suddenly spoke, his lewd gaze sweeping over Qiu Yue's body without any restraint, before bursting into laughter, his contempt utterly undisguised.
The laughter was so jarring that many of the ministers frowned.
Their presence with Pei Lun today is intended to put pressure on Qiu Yue, not to imply their support for the Tie family.
Now that the Tie family's envoy is so arrogant, they really can't help but feel a little impatient.
"Since you're so eager to come to Qingzhou, why don't you have the head of your Tie family marry into the family?"
"My Qiu Kingdom can also guarantee your Tie family a hundred years of peace and prosperity."
Not far from the royal palace, Qiu Lin walked quickly over and stood beside Qiu Yue.
Qiu Lin's appearance greatly boosted the morale of Qiu Yue's side, and they unconsciously straightened their backs a bit.
"What? Have all the generals of my Qiu Kingdom died? How could a foreigner dare to spout such nonsense in front of my Qiu Kingdom's ruler!"
His piercing gaze swept over the crowd, and many ministers felt guilty and subconsciously lowered their heads.
"This must be the former crown prince of Qiu Kingdom, right?"
When the Tie family's envoy saw Qiu Lin, he emphasized the words "former".
"I heard that you went to seek immortality and enlightenment, but you seem to have only average talent."
Having said that, a powerful pressure poured out from the envoy, crushing the mortals.
In an instant, the faces of those protecting Qiuyue turned deathly pale.
Qiu Lin silently resisted the oppressive force for Qiu Yue, sizing up the arrogant Tie family envoy opposite him.
The other party was surrounded by spiritual energy, and judging from the spiritual pressure emanating from him, he was a cultivator who had broken through to the Void Refinement Realm.
This person must have been adopted and raised by the Tie family from a young age on this side of Qingzhou.
Qiu Lin mentally assessed his combat strength. The magical treasures left behind by Chu Luobai alone were more than enough to kill him.
However, now is not the time; to act rashly would only give the Tie family an opportunity to strike.
"My Qiu Kingdom has no intention of forming another marriage alliance. If the Tie family wants to continue the trade route, then send someone who is sincere."
As Qiu Lin spoke, the spiritual energy within his body circulated, and the pressure emanating from him collided with that of the messenger.
"If you send any more Tom, Dick, or Harry who can't speak human language, my Qiu Kingdom will not entertain them."
The spiritual energy surged, the air churned, and gusts of wind suddenly arose.
Everyone in the eye of the storm, except for Qiu Yue who was being deliberately protected by Qiu Lin, felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests.
A slightly sweet taste in my throat, and an urge to vomit blood.
"Hmph, whether or not a marriage alliance is formed is not up to you."
The Tie family envoy snorted coldly and raised his right hand.
Dozens of cultivators appeared out of thin air behind him, each emanating an aura no less than that of the Refining Spirit Realm.
"Since you're a deposed crown prince, then obediently get out of Qiu Kingdom and stop trying to be a hero here!"
"It's time to change the rulers of this Autumn Kingdom; it's time to have some obedient people in charge."
“The messenger is right, the messenger is right.”
Standing next to the Tie family envoy, Pei Lun's face was plastered with a fawning smile, and his narrowed eyes were full of greed.
What he ever wanted was not the position of prime minister, but to become the king of Qiu!
At this point, it goes without saying what these people are up to.
The ministers, realizing they had been deceived, were indignant.
"Pei Lun! What do you mean? This isn't what we agreed on before!"
"Agreed? What did I agree to with you?"
Pei Lun looked at the ministers with a strange expression.
"Didn't you say that Qiuyue was unfit to be emperor and that she came here on her own initiative?"
"When I kick Qiuyue out and take that position, won't that be exactly what you want?"
"You...you...you!"
These ministers were so enraged by Pei Lun's shameless remarks that their fingers trembled slightly as they pointed at him, and they were speechless for a long time.
"What do you mean, 'you'? My court doesn't need an old codger like you who can't even speak properly."
Pei Lun drew the long sword from the guard beside him and stabbed the old minister hard in the abdomen.
A flash of cold light, and the strong smell of blood instantly filled the air.
"Traitor... villain... deserves to die..."
The old minister clutched his abdomen, his eyes wide, and after uttering these words in fits and starts, he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
The other ministers looked at Pei Lun with horror, never expecting him to resort to violence so easily.
Suddenly, everyone felt insecure.
"Who else has an opinion?"
Pei Lun drew his long sword, flicked off the warm blood, and coldly looked at the crowd.
“…”
His only response was deathly silence.
"Hmph, those who know when to yield are the wise ones."
Pei Lun snorted coldly, casually tossed the long sword aside, and when he turned to look at the Tie family envoy, a fawning smile reappeared on his face.
“These people have already been taught a lesson. Next, as long as Qiu Lin is executed, Qiu Yue and Qiu Xue will be at your disposal.”
"If the patriarch hadn't specifically requested these two, I really would have liked to give the brothers a taste of meat."
The Tie family envoy's blatant gaze swept over Qiu Yue from head to toe.
"Tsk tsk, I've never tasted the Empress's flavor before."
"Once today's business is over, I will send a group of the finest women to your residence for you to choose from."
Pei Lun smiled cautiously, a hint of desire creeping into his eyes as he looked at Qiu Yue.
"There are ten cultivators outside, all at the early stage of the Spirit Refinement realm. There are no spies among them."
At the entrance of the main hall, Qiu Lin held the sword talisman in his right hand. Xiao Lin's voice echoed in his mind, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ten early-stage Spirit Refinement cultivators, plus one mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator, can completely withstand the attack as long as they use the magic treasures given by Chu Luobai!
If we can repel this wave, Chu Luobai will arrive tomorrow...
The thought that Chu Luobai was on his way here suddenly gave Qiu Lin a boost of confidence.
