The White-haired Queen

Chapter 151 Wen Lanyue accepts the negotiation task

The Ebony Wolf Lord secretly thought that it was not good. When he saw that the person brought in was his accountant and long-time partner, he knew that it would be difficult to escape this time. However, he did not sit and wait for death, but made a quick decision. He blew a sharp whistle at a speed that ordinary people could not reach, and threw a smoke bomb.

In an instant, the entire court was shrouded in thick white fog, and everyone was in a state of confusion. When everyone came to their senses, the Ebony Wolf Lord had disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, with no trace left.

The ministers waved their hands gently, trying to disperse the white mist in front of them. At this moment, everyone knew that whether they were the allies or followers of the Ebony Wolf Lord, they had drawn a clear line between themselves and him in their hearts.

King Bei Cang broke the silence and said, "Now that things are clear, the reason why the contract is invalid is also clear. Next we have to deal with two important matters. The first is to arrest the Lord of the Ebony Wolf. Let the prince be responsible for this matter."

Bei Mingyu responded: "I obey your command."

King Bei Cang continued, "The second is who to send to negotiate. This person must be neither humble nor overbearing, be both firm and flexible, and be able to complete the task efficiently."

Everyone looked at each other in silence, their eyes meeting with hesitation and thought. King Bei Cang noticed this and said, "Old people are indeed wise and brave, but they can't bear the hardship of long journeys; young people are a little impetuous and lack sophistication. As long as they can complete the mission well, we can relax the scope of nomination."

The ministers still looked at each other, no one took the initiative to recommend themselves, and no one dared to step forward to recommend talents to the emperor. If the contract was easily and unilaterally declared invalid, wouldn't it be treating the foreigners as soft persimmons that could be squeezed at will? No one wanted to touch this bad luck and get into trouble.

King Beicang was annoyed when he saw that all the ministers were silent and had no intention of taking any action. So he raised his voice and said angrily: "Is there no one left in Beicang? Is there no wise man with both talent and virtue?"

Hearing the rebuke from King Bei Cang, the ministers all lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye. Seeing this, King Bei Cang became even more furious, and he continued angrily, "You guys usually enjoy the salary granted by the king, but now the country is in trouble and it is time for you to step forward, but you are all indifferent! Think about it, what can you do for the country?"

Although King Bei Cang was so angry, no one dared to stand up and recommend themselves or others. King Bei Cang's anger had reached the point where he could not be restrained. He directly called out by name: "Jiang Yuxuan, what about you?"

Hearing King Bei Cang call his name, Jiang Yuxuan carefully walked out of the queue and replied: "Your Majesty, I do have a candidate to recommend, but I don't know if she is willing to accept this task."

King Bei Cang looked at Jiang Yuxuan with a sharp gaze and said, "Who do you recommend? Tell me first."

Jiang Yuxuan's eyes flickered. He first glanced at Wen Lanyue, then at Beiming Yu and King Beicang. Then he took a deep breath and answered in a firm tone: "The person I recommend is the 'Princess of Friendship'." His voice was not loud, but it caused a commotion in the hall.

Before everyone could react, Jiang Yuxuan said, "Your Majesty, please let me tell you my reasons first." His eyes were full of confidence and determination, as if he had already made up his mind.

King Bei Cang narrowed his eyes slightly, examining Jiang Yuxuan, and then turned his gaze to Wen Lanyue. After a moment, he nodded and said to Jiang Yuxuan, "Okay, I'll listen to your opinion for now." At this time, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yuxuan, looking forward to what he would say next.

Jiang Yuxuan said seriously: "First of all, the 'Friendship Princess' took the trouble to travel thousands of miles from Shangxie to our Beicang Country, which fully demonstrates that she has a very deep and comprehensive understanding of the role and impact of these minerals. I believe that in her hands, these resources will be used in the most reasonable way and play the greatest value. Secondly, the team owned by the 'Friendship Princess' is not only highly professional, but also has a very strong cohesion among them. You know, such an excellent team is not something that our Beicang Country can easily form in a short period of time. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the 'Friendship Princess' is also the princess of our Beicang Country! As the princess of our Beicang Country, isn't it natural for her to deal with the problems facing Beicang Country?"

After hearing this, King Bei Cang showed a helpless smile on his face, and cursed softly with a laugh: "You are really a monkey who can climb up the pole."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuxuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

King Bei Cang waved his hand and asked everyone present in a loud voice: "My dear ministers, what do you think about this matter?"

For a moment, the court was silent, but then there was a loud and uniform response like a mountain of cheers: "Your Highness, I agree with Lord Jiang's proposal. I second it."

King Bei Cang nodded slightly, a faint helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said: "It is rare to see that the opinions of all the ministers are so consistent this time." Then, he turned to face Wen Lanyue and asked gently: "Imperial sister, I wonder what your opinion is on this matter? By the way, if you have a different opinion on this, or you are unwilling to act in this way in your heart, your brother will naturally not force you."

Wen Lanyue bowed slightly and replied softly, "Everything is up to my brother."

King Bei Cang looked at the ministers in front of him, tapped them lightly with his fingers, revealed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, then raised his voice and said loudly: "Okay! In this case, my sister, if you need someone or want to go somewhere, you can use my badge to make arrangements."

After a pause, King Bei Cang was silent for a moment, then he glanced at the group of ministers and added solemnly: "Did you all hear clearly? This waist badge is like the king's personal presence. As long as the 'Princess of Friendship' needs anything, you must go all out to assist her! No mistakes!"

The ministers responded in unison: "We will obey the king's orders!" Their voices were uniform, revealing determination and obedience.
