Due to Mu Yangling's repeated reminders and it being in trend for Westerners to be 'explorers' in other countries, Fan Zijin had always regarded them with the greatest malice. To him, the arrival of the English envoy was not a good thing.
Qi Haoran, on the other hand, thought more simply. He believed in the supremacy of strength. If one's country was strong, one would naturally not be afraid of other countries plotting against them. Although he could not immediately take back the territory that had been occupied by Great Jin and West Xia, it was not a problem to deal with the England envoy who had come from afar.
Therefore, his answer was simple and crude. "Ask them what they want. If it's beneficial to us, we'll do it. If it's not, we'll reject him."
The corners of Fan Zijin's mouth twitched. What exactly was he up to?
However, Fan Zijin still did as he said. As he received the envoy, he sent someone to inform the Ministry of Rites and the Emperor.
