After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 136: Bribery

"Guard Lin, do you think the envoy from the neighboring country has arrived here yet?"

Gan Luo looked up and asked Lin Fengmian. When Lin Fengmian heard this, he fell into deep thought, not knowing how to answer Gan Luo.

"Your Highness, I think you could go directly into the palace and question His Majesty."

Should they go into the palace to inquire about Gan Yanling? After thinking it over, Gan Luo decided it was feasible.

However, Gan Luo had another idea.

Gan Luo felt that if he went to the palace to question Gan Yanling, Gan Yanling would most likely not tell him the truth.

If Gan Luo were to use his mind-reading ability to explore Gan Yanling's inner thoughts again, the truth he learns would only disappoint him.

"You might as well go and take a good look at the inn in the suburbs to see if they really are staying here."

After hearing Gan Luo's words, Lin Fengmian, realizing that Gan Luo had agreed, disappeared from Gan Luo's sight. At this time, Lin Fengmian was heading towards the post station in the suburbs.

Meanwhile, at the outskirts post station, the princess of the neighboring country was throwing a tantrum.

"What exactly does this king mean? One minute he's bringing me into the palace, and the next he's kicking me out."

When the envoys from the neighboring country heard what the princess said, they naturally tried to calm her down.

The princess from the neighboring country then said she wanted to go back and did not want to be married off.

He also told them that when they got back, they should report this matter to their father, the emperor, so that he could punish them.

……

These men fell into deep thought; their armies were not as powerful as this one's, and the nation's army was far superior.

"What Your Highness wishes to tell you is this: even if you return and inform His Majesty of this matter, he will not rashly send troops. Do you know the disparity between our two nations? Do you know why we must pay tribute every year?"

If it weren't for the fact that our strength is not as great as that of this country, how could we still be paying tribute to them all this time?

"What kind of trouble is this king trying to cause these days? This princess is really feeling a bit tired."

What the princess couldn't understand was why the king insisted on postponing his audience with the king, citing his illness.

What exactly was this king thinking? At this moment, Lin Fengmian had already arrived at this place and saw that they were indeed staying here.

However, this princess's face was flushed, and she didn't seem to be sick at all. So why would she pretend to be sick now?

Lin Fengmian decided to stay here a little longer. Fearing that he would be discovered if he stayed any longer, he hid himself.

Indeed, he couldn't hear very clearly at this moment. Lin Fengmian planned to move forward, but he always felt that if he moved forward, they might discover him.

The envoys from the neighboring country were also very sharp-eared. They heard the slightest noise and immediately invited the princess inside, then closed the door behind them.

This action made Lin Fengmian admire him for a moment.

These guys are really interesting.

I never expected them to just walk in and close the door.

Lin Fengmian's ability to scale walls and leap across rooftops is exceptionally strong; yet, it's wishful thinking to try and stop him.

Lin Fengmian lightly touched the ground with his toes and successfully reached the rooftop.

He lifted a tile and could see the scene inside. He saw the princess sitting in a chair, while the envoys from neighboring countries were comforting her.

Lin Fengmian went back and told Gan Luo about it. Gan Luo was surprised when he heard the news.

Unexpectedly, they really were in this post station.

At this time, the person in the shadows had already informed Gan Yanling of Lin Fengmian's arrival at this place.

When Gan Yanling learned of this news, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the very beginning, Gan Yanling had already anticipated that Gan Luo would most likely send someone to investigate.

Unexpectedly, they actually sent someone to investigate. Fortunately, I did this without any loopholes, and I don't think Gan Luo would notice.

When the Prime Minister learned of Gan Yanling's actions, he couldn't help but think that Gan Yanling truly had a limitless future.

One day, Gan Yanling will surely gain all military power and become a true monarch.

In terms of image processing, the prime minister actually wanted to become the regent.

What is a regent? A regent is the highest-ranking official besides the emperor.

Even Gan Luo had to give way to him when he saw him.

Or perhaps, if he could, this prime minister would also like to become a king.

But now, with Gan Luo and the others around, how can he possibly become a king?

"Your Majesty has now arranged for these envoys from neighboring countries to reside in this post station. Have these envoys expressed any dissatisfaction?"

"I haven't yet discerned any particular dissatisfaction from the neighboring country's envoy, but the neighboring country's princess was quite unhappy, and she already threw a tantrum at the post station."

Upon receiving this news, Xu Xiang smiled slightly, thinking that he should find some time to meet with them.

"Go and investigate what the princess of the neighboring country likes."

"Stay here and obey; I will go immediately."

The person had already left as soon as he finished speaking.

After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that the princess actually had a fondness for jewelry.

"Since you're referring to the jewelry Her Highness currently favors, then go and fetch my luminous pearl."

This luminous pearl was the prime minister's prized possession. When the maid heard the prime minister ask for the luminous pearl, she wondered for a moment if she had misheard and looked up at the prime minister.

As luck would have it, Xu Jinxin appeared before the Prime Minister. When she overheard the Prime Minister ordering the maid to fetch the luminous pearl, she said, "Father, don't you value this luminous pearl highly? Besides, it's very hard to find. Are you sure..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Prime Minister told Xu Jinxin, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

You have to take a long-term view.

Xu Jinxin was confused, but she didn't refute anything. After all, she could only agree with whatever her father wanted to do, right?

In no time, the maid had brought out the luminous pearl, which had a very fine color.

Even under the bright sunshine, it still emits a faint glow.
