As soon as the envoys of Sa and Xi entered the garden, they saw four trays of gold ingots placed on the table in the gazebo in the middle.

     They count.

     No more, no less, exactly one thousand taels.

     So these gold ingots were not the ones they gave to the two missionaries before.

     What does that mean?

     They couldn't help but looked at each other.

     And at this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded from behind them.

     They looked back, only to find that the only person who came was Ao Ruize.

     This time, the suspicion in their hearts was even heavier.

     "Master Earl!"

     Ao Ruize sneered and said, "Didn't the two envoys go back to the country to dispatch troops? Why are you still in the mood to visit us?"

     While talking, he sat down on the stool, picked up a gold ingot, and started playing with it.

     The translator brought by the two envoys immediately translated Ao Ruize's words to them.

     The expressions on the faces of the two envoys froze for a moment.

     Then they heard Ao Ruize say: "By the way, I wonder if the two envoys went to watch the scene where William and Eugene were executed by Ling Chi?"

     This time, the faces of the two envoys became even uglier.

     This is already blatant ridicule.

     But who made them ask for Ao Ruize now?

     So they could only say in a low voice: "Lord Earl, we did something wrong before, and we are here to express our sincerest apologies to you."

     "Ah!"

     Ao Ruize did not speak.

     This instead made them more firm in their previous suspicions.

     So much so that they couldn't help scolding the imperial court in their hearts.

     ——Is Dagan insane? How could they send such a fool to negotiate with them.

     Although before this, they celebrated this event several times.

     But they could only continue to say: "To express our apologies, we have also prepared a gift for you, Mr. Earl, please accept it with a smile."

     As he spoke, he asked someone to deliver a big box.

     When I opened it, I saw five thousand taels of gold neatly placed inside.

     Who knew that Ao Ruize just glanced at it, and then looked away with a mocking face.

     The expressions on the faces of the two envoys became stiffer in an instant.

     Because of course the gold was not funded by Sa and Xi, but they collected their own money to fill this hole.

     Half of their family property is here, but Ao Ruize is still not satisfied?

     So they immediately raised their voices: "My lord, we came here with sincerity."

     "And your country's imperial court does not want to continue fighting with us. Sir, if you insist on sending troops now, aren't you afraid of being impeached by your political opponents after you return to the capital?"
