Shen Tang sneered, wanting her favor but not specifying the conditions?
Isn’t this setting a trap for her?
Favors, if not clearly defined, can be big or small.
If the other side wants half the kingdom, should she just hand it over?
Moreover, Shen Tang had heard some rumors about the Yiyuan Empire. There were very few mentions of that Emperor, and it was hard to distinguish truth from falsehood. No outsider had even seen the true face.
But the one confirmed truth was that this mysterious Emperor was a sickly person with only a few years left to live.
The Regent King and noble ministers in court were all restless, each wishing to replace him. How many troops could that Emperor dispatch to help her?
In the end, who would help whom was still uncertain!
She wouldn’t fall into such a trap.
Shen Tang straightforwardly refused, "Thank you for your country’s kindness, but this is our internal affair, and we don’t need outsiders to intervene. Please, envoy, return!"
The envoy’s face slightly darkened and haughtily said, "Is the Night Glow Emperor really not going to reconsider? Our Empire sincerely sent me to discuss matters with you! You are quite firm now, but when the country is gone, what use will it be?"
The officers nearby changed their expressions, "Who do you think you are, that you dare speak so arrogantly here? Your Majesty, execute this arrogant thief!"
The envoy’s face turned pale, realizing he had misspoken.
He looked down on the Night Glow Empire, but this was, after all, someone else’s territory. If he truly angered them, he might lose his head!
Shen Tang narrowed her eyes dangerously, calmed herself, and stopped the generals trying to charge forward, speaking calmly, "Thank you for the reminder, envoy. You should worry more about your own country’s internal chaos."
"You—" The envoy caught the sarcasm in her words, and his face darkened further.
A small empire’s emperor showing such an attitude!
The envoy’s attitude represented the nation’s attitude.
This condescending attitude surely wasn’t a genuine offer of assistance.
Shen Tang was too lazy to deal with him indirectly, turned coldly, and said, "Someone, escort the guest out!"
"Without our help, you can wait to see your country destroyed!"
The envoy threw down these words and left angrily, flicking his sleeve.
The faces of the many generals in the camp were not good, but there was nothing they could do. Strength was everything, and now, even the envoys of other countries dared to mock the Night Glow Empire!
Jia Lan and Lu Xiao also rushed over from the Imperial City to provide support.
Hearing this conversation, Jia Lan was so angry his eyes were red. He turned to Shen Tang, pressed his lips, and whispered, "... Tangtang, this envoy is arrogant and insolent, but what he said isn’t wrong. Our military strength is severely depleted, we might not last long. If it comes to it, I’ll ask the Mother King for help! Request reinforcements from the Sea Country!"
Shen Tang lightly held his hand, shook her head, and with complex gratitude said, "I understand your intention, and Jialouluo Your Majesty surely won’t refuse for your sake, but the battlefield is deep inland, and aid from the Sea Country would be limited."
Lu Xiao, after a brief contemplation, suddenly spoke, "Female Master, send me to the Yunding Empire."
Shen Tang turned her head towards him, puzzled, "Yunding Empire?"
"Yes, the Yunding Empire is powerful, though far from the Night Glow Empire, their empire mostly comprises Flying Beastmen. If they are willing to send troops, they can arrive quickly and provide strong support."

Between nations, negotiations focused solely on interests.
