This hawthorn, compared to previous ginseng, especially the large Lianglong sparrow, doesn't seem as important.

But for Li Chen personally, it suits him best.

His joy was evident. Li Chen raised his hand, and a guard stepped forward to take the cage from Jin Xueyan's grasp. However, the hawk eagle saw the stranger approaching and its eyes blazed with fury. It slightly lowered its head and spread its wings, assuming an attack stance.

Jin Xueyuan said: "This one has a spirit. Ordinary people would be attacked once they get close. I have to personally offer it to Your Highness."

A high official frowned and said, "If this is the case, what shall we do about this injury to His Highness"

Jin Xueyuan shook her head and said, “Since it has spirituality, it naturally knows that the prince will be its only master in the future. Once it acknowledges its master, it will remain loyal to him for life.”

As she spoke, Jin Xueyuan had already walked to Li Chen's desk.

Li Chen also hesitated a little.

Get close enough and you can see the hawk's sharp beak and claws, sharper than any sword. Its wild eyes are fixed on you, this thing can kill an adult yak. If it catches you, a single claw could easily rip off a large piece of flesh as easily as paper. Li Chen truly doesn't doubt that.

Jin Xueyuan took out a whistle and handed it to Li Chen, saying: "Your Highness, you still need to get familiar with it before the front. When summoning it, use the whistle and it will understand. After getting completely familiar, just wave your hand, and it will swoop down. As long as you have the whistle, you are the master."

Li Chen took the whistle, and that saker falcon was truly magical. It was just an animal, yet it seemed to understand human speech. The moment Li Chen took the whistle, its eyes immediately softened.

Li Chen tried to feed it a piece of meat. It hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and took it into its mouth, swallowing it in three bites.

Li Chen was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Excellent!"

Casting his gaze upon Jin Xueyuan, Li Chen said, "The three national gifts presented by Xianchao are each useful and pleasing. This palace is very pleased."

Jin Xueyan lowered her head and softly said, "Being able to earn a smile from Your Highness is enough."

After finishing her words, Jin Xueyuan retreated back to her original position and suddenly knelt down, saying: “Princess Jin Xueyuan of Xianchao, has a matter concerning the survival of the Xianchao nation and the lives of millions. Please, Your Highness, please grant this request of the Xianchao nation to the Da Qin court!”

Here comes the main event!

After offering the national gift, Xian Chao naturally had to put forward his own requests.

When Jin Xueyuan knelt down like that, the entire Xian Dynasty envoy stood up and came behind her, pleading: "Your Highness, please bring the imperial court's consent!"

The officials of the Qin Dynasty remained silent, all eyes fixed on Li Chen, awaiting the response from the Crown Prince.

Li Chen leaned against his seat, his fingers gently stroking the intricate patterns on the icy scabbard of the Great Cold Dragon Sparrow sword. He spoke in a soft voice: "Xianchao has been a vassal state of Qin for centuries, and the two countries have enjoyed friendly relations for hundreds of years. They have always paid tribute annually without delay or reduction. But if you have a request, just speak it plainly. If it is reasonable, this palace will certainly agree."

This response, while lacking any concrete commitments, was positive in tone.

The members of the Xi Dynasty embassy were delighted, feeling that there was hope for a resolution.

But even Jin Xueyuan, with her cunning and mischievous nature, didn't believe that just three national treasures would be enough to persuade the prince to send troops.

Though I can draw my bowstring to the limit, and have words on the tip of my tongue, they are nonetheless things that must be said.

Ten months ago, hundreds of warships from the Eastern Isles pirates attacked and landed on the shores of the Xian Dynasty with over 80,000 troops. Wherever they went, men were killed, women were enslaved, and regardless of age, everyone was brutally murdered until mountains of corpses lay strewn across the land, rivers ran red with blood, a scene so horrific that it would evoke outrage from all who heard of it!

"Now the Xiaochang Dynasty has been struck by war, with setbacks on the front lines. The situation is dire, and Jin Xueyan once again pleads for the superior nation to send troops to bring justice to Xiaochang!"ter all just a frail scholar. How could someone who couldn't even lift a chicken be a match for the heavily trained guards Before anyone could finish the thought, he had been pushed to the ground, his...
