Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Daqi’s Territory, Daqi Calls the Shots_1 Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Daqi’s Territory, Daqi Calls the Shots_1 The Divine Tree Tribe, this tribe is not adjacent to Daqi, nor is it a state, but it has considerable power. Every year it pays tribute to Daqi with the fruits from the Divine Tree, essentially being a vassal state to Daqi.

Now a prince or princess from one vassal state trying to kill a princess from another, that’s a really tricky situation.

“Sir, I am Princess Ailiusa of the Divine Tree Tribe. Yuchi Country attacked my tribe without cause, killed my father, enslaved our people, and has pursued me for thousands of miles, seeking to completely annihilate my Divine Tree Tribe. I beg you to take me to see His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi, to plead with His Majesty to seek justice for my Divine Tree Tribe.”

Tong Sanlang was nursing a headache when the blue-clothed woman named Ailiusa suddenly knelt before him. With tears in her eyes and a pale face, she spoke with a heart-wrenching voice.

No sooner had she finished speaking than he had a chance to respond, Qinglian on horseback sharply retorted, “You’re lying! It was your people from the Divine Tree Tribe who stole the God Catfish from our Yuchi. We were justified in attacking you for your theft! Thieves who dare touch the God Catfish deserve death!”

“No, the people of my Divine Tree Tribe did not steal your God Catfish!” Ailiusa immediately countered, her eyes misty with tears, which, against her pallid complexion, made her look as though she might faint at any moment.

“Deny it all you want, but your nation deserves to be wiped out for stealing!” Qinglian angrily exclaimed, brandishing her dagger as if she were ready to pounce at any time.

Tong Sanlang listened to their dispute and raised his hand to make a stopping gesture, “You are both princes and princesses of your respective countries, noble in stature. Upon entering the territory of Daqi, you are guests, please dismount and follow me to the palace. Once I report to the Emperor, you may enter the Palace to be received.”

He couldn’t manage the affairs involving two minor nations; that was a matter for Emperor Yongan. His only responsibility was to maintain the public security in the Capital City.

However, upon hearing his words, Qinglian was clearly dissatisfied, “Why should we? Is Daqi going to protect a thief?!”

Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, his face expressionless as he said, “According to the Daqi Laws, during trial, the accused must be given the opportunity to defend themselves. Although you are a princess, since you stand on the land of Daqi, you must abide by the rules of Daqi.”

“You…”

“Qinglian, hold your tongue!” Qingye sharply rebuked, cutting off Qinglian’s words.

He then gave a slight bow toward Tong Sanlang, forcing a smile onto his face, “Then please lead the way, sir.”

“This way, Prince.” Tong Sanlang stepped aside.

Qinglian forced a smile and began to walk forward.

Tong Sanlang turned to look at Ailiusa and said, “Please rise, Princess. You can speak when we are before His Majesty.”

Ailiusa, with tears streaming down her face, nodded weakly, pressing her left hand against the ground and shakily stood up.

“Since you are injured, Princess, please mount the horse; the palace is far,” he added.

Upon hearing this, Ailiusa gave him a grateful smile and, gritting her teeth, struggled onto the horse.

“Sir, may I ask you to come to the front?” At this point, Qingye spoke up.

Tong Sanlang responded and quickly caught up.

“How might I address you, sir?” Qingye asked with a smile.

“Prince is too kind to call me a ‘sir.’ Just call me Tong Zhan,” replied Tong Sanlang.

“Tong Zhan?” Qingye repeated the name twice, his smile broadening, “What a fitting name, no wonder you are so skilled in Kung Fu.”

Tong Sanlang was modest, “My Kung Fu is just mediocre.”

No sooner had he said this than his whip, as if it had eyes, suddenly lashed out behind him. The tip of the whip accurately wrapped around the dagger in Qinglian’s hands and snatched it away.
