Yin Si raised his head and saw Xie Hongyi and two men enter. The inside of the carriage was very large, capable of accommodating up to 10 people. It seems like the price of this carriage must be expensive, Xie Hongyi thought.
Yin Si placed the book in her hand as Xie Hongyi walked in. He did not reply to Xie Hongyi's greeting, but instead said: "When are you going to wash my clothes?"
Xie Hongyi's smile froze. "I'm sorry I forgot. Later Young Master can give me that dirty shirt."
Huang Long's ears instantly stood up upon hearing the words 'dirty clothes'. He stared intently at Xie Hongyi who was still conversing with the Young Master whom he did not know by name.
Xie Hongyi felt his backside cold. He looked back and found Huang Long looking at him as if he wanted to skin him. Xie Hongyi shuddered. When he found out, Xie Hongyi did not know whether to cry or laugh.
Perhaps his words caused a misunderstanding so Xie Hongyi hurriedly gave an explanation. "I accidentally spilled tea on his clothes last night."
Huang Long asked in a low voice. "Last night you came out?"
Xie Hongyi replied. "Yes, just take a walk."
Huang Long did not speak anymore.
Yin Si who saw the other two strangers asked, "Who are they?" Yin Si wanted to point at the two men with his index finger, but one of them gave off an unusual aura. Yin Si knew that the aura was only possessed by a leader like his uncle and a great General like his father. This man gave off his second aura, so he did not dare to take any reckless actions.
"They are my partners."
Yin Si nodded. Then he remembered something. "How did you repay me?"
Xie Hongyi approached and whispered beside Yin Si. "We can talk about it later, after I meet the Emperor." After which, Xie Hongyi felt the carriage move.
Huang Long stared at the old Xie Hongyi who was whispering.
Not long after, the horse carriage stopped. It seems they have reached the Palace. As Xie Hongyi exited the carriage, he gasped.
Xie Hongyi pointed at the Palace building with his trembling finger. "It's..."
Yin Si and could not help but smile.
"This is one of the pride of the Northern Kingdom."
All the walls of the Palace were covered with gold! And it sparkles so much when it's in the sun!
If only he could have a building like this, his life would be prosperous.
Xie Hongyi regained his senses from his daydream as someone patted his shoulder. He turned his head and looked at Huang Long behind him. "We have to go in."
"All right."
Due to Yin Si's identity, the servants and guards had nothing to prevent him from entering. But after the party had gone out of sight, they wondered in their hearts who the people Yin Si had brought.
Yin Si led them into a room.
Yin Si said to the eunuch standing in front of the room. "I want to meet my uncle. Is my uncle inside?"
There was a low murmur of a man from inside the room.
Xie Hongyi and Huang Long followed Yin Si in. Dugu An decided to wait outside.
By the time they entered, Xie Hongyi was again startled by the sight before him, truly thinking that the North Emperor's study room was a gold shop! Unlike the Huang Long workspace whose wood is black and red shows the impression of the majesty of its owner, but different from this workspace, the owner, as if wagging his tail, proudly shows the world that he is the greatest.
Near a table that seemed to be a work desk, sat a man in his thirties who was still looking young with a crown of nine beads that was above his head. When I first saw him, I knew he was a king.
Yin Si greeted the person sitting on the chair. "Nephew Yin Si saluted the Emperor."
The person sitting in the chair raised his head. His face softened when he found out that his nephew was the one who took care of him. "Si'er?" Looking at the two people behind his nephew, the Northern Emperor asked. "Who are they? Are they your friends?"
It was not Yin Si who answered. Huang Long took one step forward and saluted. "I am the envoy from the South."
Hearing that they were from the South, the Emperor suddenly rose up in anger. The expression of his previously soft face instantly turned violent. "Who allowed you to come here!?"
Yin Si immediately calmed his uncle. "Uncle calm down, listen to them first." He was actually also surprised because it turned out to be Xie Hongyi from the South. If he found out from the beginning, perhaps he would have immediately refused when Xie Hongyi asked for help.
The Northern Emperor could not contain his emotions. "How can I calm down? Guards quickly throw them out!"
"Uncle!"
The Northern Emperor named Yin Tianrui looked at Yin Si with a dark face. The beads above his head swayed as he spoke. "Si'er why did you bring them here? You know they're our enemies, right?"
Yin Si did not know what to answer with this question. "I don't know..."
As the two burly guards brought each one a sword, then took out the sword and placed it in front of Xie Hongyi and Huang Long, Huang Long quickly took out something from inside his clothes. He said calmly even though there was a sword ready to pull out his neck. "This is a covenant letter made by the Northern and Southern Emperors. I'm here to see the Northern Emperor." Huang Long showed the peace treaty in his hands.
The Northern Emperor said with great hatred. He did not glance at the paper in Huang Long's hands at all. "Huh, that's been out of place since you Southerners slandered us for killing Huang Bingshu!" Tipping down on the past, Yin Tianrui's heart felt sour.
A few years ago, the Southern Kingdom had once alleged that the Northern Kingdom had killed their Emperor. The Northern Kingdom did not willingly get slandered, they proposed that both parties investigate. However, the Southern Kingdom side did not heed his request, and instead attacked the Northern Kingdom. At that time, war broke out and raged in various regions causing thousands of casualties. It was at that moment that the peak of hatred of the two kingdoms erupted.
Huang Long knew that it was very difficult to negotiate with a stubborn person like the Northern Emperor. "At least this agreement was made by the elders of the two kingdoms in the past. So, however this agreement has been in existence."
Yin Tianrui understood Huang Long's intentions. But he remains stubbornly will not admit to the agreement. "Never will! Guards quickly take them away!"
The events of that year will never be forgotten, because at the time of the war, he lost his most beloved person. The man died at the hands of the Southern Kingdom. Yin Tianrui planted hatred in the South at the time of the incident.
Looking at Yin Tianrui's face that was still red, Huang Long knew that forever this man would not agree. The moment the two guards made their move, Huang Long was ready to fight him, but his movements instantly came to a halt upon hearing a woman speak.
Xie Hongyi who was silent, suddenly made a sound. "What if we help you take care of the Xiao family?" Xie Hongyi's ears were extremely itchy upon hearing the person arguing so hotly. He was annoyed when he admired the decoration of the room because of that.
Everyone who was inside the room looked at Xie Hongyi, including Yin Tianrui. The man's eyes even flashed with surprise.
Xie Hongyi smiled sweetly as he spoke again. He looked at everyone one by one. "Let's forget the past for a moment. We can't keep fighting a long-standing problem." Anyone who heard that tone of persuasion filled with persuasion would immediately agree without thinking any more.
However, it seemed that Yin Tianrui's head was indeed extremely harsh. He did not care about Xie Hongyi who was a woman and instead shouted at her. "Please! Who gave a woman like you the courage to speak?!"
