Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1383

But... Liu Rushi also felt that dealing with a country like Tianfeng, with ulterior motives, indeed requires such assertiveness.

"Since this person is the Great Shaman of Tianfeng, naturally his head is under the favor of the God, let's begin!" Bai Qingyan said with a smile.

"Empress, you'd better not make it difficult for our Great Shaman. What the Great Shaman can predict is at most related to the fortunes of our Tianfeng Kingdom!" Sal Khan said slowly, "For example, the national treasure jade cicada that originally belonged to our Tianfeng Kingdom, where is it now?"

"Tianfeng's legend says the jade cicada can turn back time..." Bai Qingyan lifted the teacup in front of her, "Tianfeng kneels before Zhou hoping to obtain the jade cicada, hoping to reverse time to when? To the time of starting a war with Xiliang of Zhou? To catch Zhou off guard? Or to use the method that once destroyed the Hanche Kingdom by sending five stone powder... or Cold Stone Powder as medicine to our Zhou?"

Sal Khan tightened his palm, indeed not expecting Bai Qingyan to know so much... and she knew plenty.

"The tea is cold, bring a new cup!" Bai Qingyan touched her lips with the tea and then, with a frown, handed the cup to Chun Tao.

After Chun Tao took the tea cup and left, Bai Qingyan's icy gaze turned to Sal Khan: "Upon discovering the great river behind the snowy mountains leading to the sea, and being able to land along our Zhou's coast, I suppose the Monarch of Tianfeng thought he had victory within his grasp. It is summer after all, the Elephant Army is invincible... you surely plan to end the war within three months or even two months, right?"

Leaning on a soft pillow, Bai Qingyan moved a bit closer to Sal Khan, her beautiful eyes carrying a teasing smile: "Are the large ships purchased from the Dongyi Kingdom enough for you to continuously send giant elephants to Zhou?"

Sal Khan's fists clenched.

The Dongyi Kingdom sold them out?

"Tianfeng, how naive..." Bai Qingyan lightly stroked the cushion, "Your ships carrying giant elephants can't get through that river, can't reach that sea, I can make them all sink!"

"The Monarch of Tianfeng must not think I'm just boasting..." Bai Qingyan's eyes smiled lightly, "Has the Monarch of Tianfeng calculated how long it has been since receiving a letter from Tianfeng?"

"What does Her Majesty mean?" Sal Khan's previously calm demeanor finally disappeared.

"It means... from now on, that river is Zhou's! Anyone who wants to use it... must have Zhou's consent!" Bai Qingyan's voice was calm but her gaze was chilling, "By the timing, the King of Hancheng must have already sent people to set up defenses on both sides of the great river."

Previously, Tianfeng was blocked on the other side of the snowy mountain. After painstakingly finding an alternative path along the river Cui Fengnian mentioned, would they be locked by Zhou on that land soon to be swallowed by the desert?

"The Emperor of Zhou is doing too much!" Sal Khan frowned deeply.

"Might makes right..." Bai Qingyan said with a slight smile facing Sal Khan.

"Does this mean Zhou wants to go to war with my Tianfeng Kingdom?" The Great Shaman of Tianfeng was anxious.

"An unowned land was first occupied by us, why is Tianfeng in such a hurry?" Commandant Lu chuckled.

"So Tianfeng came today to declare war on Zhou." Although Liu Rushi did not anticipate when Bai Qingyan had the King of Hancheng take soldiers to occupy a grassland, he could glean some facts from the conversation, "Moreover, that grassland was right next to you, and you did not discover it, so why be in such a hurry now?"

"It borders my Tianfeng Kingdom, naturally it is my Tianfeng Kingdom's territory!" the Great Shaman of Tianfeng hurriedly said, "Zhou never said it was Zhou's territory before!"
