Chapter 1653: Chapter 521: Little Landgrave Cai, Chu Tianxu Concedes (3)
Cai Qiuhu’s seemingly vague remark was immediately understood by Xia Hong. He recalled the previous invitation from Chu Tianxu in Yanling County, and a broad smile appeared on his face.
Among the Four Great Feudal Towns of Moao River, Chen Cang boasts the strongest overall power. Moreover, Chu Longteng’s ambition to unify Moao River is almost out in the open. "The spear targets the head bird," hence the other Three Vassals must be wary of Chen Cang, right?
As for Cai Qiuhu’s remark, it’s evidently referring to Chen Cang’s big ambition, so once a powerful neighbor emerges nearby, they are undoubtedly the most worried. Whereas the other Three Vassals, lacking the power and ambition to unify Moao River, do not resist the emergence of strong neighbors as much.
What a clever Little Landgrave Cai, with such a light response, he directly foiled Chu Tianxu’s plot to sow discord.
Of course, not being instigated is secondary. The key is that Cai Qiuhu clearly knows who Cai Qiu’s greatest enemy is, which makes him quite impressive.
Xia Hong couldn’t help but regard Little Landgrave Cai more highly. He then turned his head, smiling at Chu Tianxu, and said: "It seems Governor Chu’s instigation has not worked; if that’s the case, hurry and hand over Yang Zhun and that Deceitful Monster! I shall not hesitate to say..."
At this point, Xia Hong paused, his smile vanished, and his tone suddenly became somber as he continued: "Even if Landgrave Chu himself comes today, Yang Zhun will still undoubtedly die!"
Upon Xia Hong’s words, the expressions of Chu Tianxu and Cai Qiuhu changed instantly; the former was mostly indignant, the latter mostly startled, but besides this, both had obvious traces of suspicion and doubt in their eyes.
Neither was foolish; they knew the deeper meaning behind Xia Hong’s words.
These two Beast Emperor-level puppets are not even a trump card of Great Xia!
"Lord Xia Hong, no need to provoke me with words. This time, the descendants of the Chu Family of Yanling, who headed south, were massacred by Great Xia. My Chen Cang will not easily bypass this. When Lord Landgrave personally visits the Southern Slope, I hope Lord Xia Hong can remain so strong, hmm..."
Chu Tianxu wouldn’t be intimidated by Xia Hong’s words, but he also realized that he surely couldn’t save Yang Zhun today. Feeling somewhat disgraced, he finally left a harsh word, coldly snorted, and then released Yang Zhun and the previously intercepted green light. Without giving Xia Hong a chance to respond, he immediately flew north.
Xia Hong only brought out two Beast Emperor-level puppets, not intending to kill Chu Tianxu. Since Yang Zhun was handed over, he naturally would not obstruct anymore.
"Green Jade Carving..."
Xia Hong received the two items, first handing Yang Zhun to Xia Chuan behind him, then lowering his head to look at the green light he held.
The green light turned out to be a thirty-centimeter tall Green Jade Carving, with six arms and a green face, tusks protruding from its mouth, and red eyes. It held a white long spear with its two uppermost arms; it was clearly the miniature form of the Six-armed Evil Demon from before.
"My lord..."
The jade carving rested in Xia Hong’s palm. After three or four breaths, it gradually retracted its tusks, then its eyeballs moved around, unexpectedly coming to life. Seeing Xia Hong staring at it, it hurriedly knelt before him.
Indeed, it wasn’t dead...
Xia Hong had intentionally spared the Six-armed Evil Demon, and seeing it recover, he nodded slightly. Now was not the time for conversation, so he directly tucked it into his sleeve, then turned to Cai Qiuhu beside him.
"Little Landgrave Cai, do you seek Xia for some important talks?"
Xia Hong casually inquired while waving to put away the two Beast Emperors.
Seeing the two Beast Emperors disappear, Cai Qiuhu’s gaze flickered slightly but quickly returned to normal. He bowed and smiled: "Cai wishes to plead for Lord Cao. I wonder if Lord Xia Hong is willing to give me this face?"
Cai Qiu brought over a hundred Xianyang Level warriors. It’s no surprise that they should have control over Jin Mountain and Wuchuan now. When the Dragon Valley Town event occurred, they immediately dispatched people to Yangqu to assist Cao Qianyang in defending the town.
Extending his reach further and further, now he’s directly coming to me for talks...
Xia Hong looked at Cai Qiuhu and smiled: "Since Little Landgrave Cai has spoken, of course, I must give face. However, I’m not sure how should I? Little Landgrave Cai’s meaning, is it for Great Xia to withdraw the army?"
"To tell the truth, Brother Xia, Cai did have such thoughts previously, but now it’s clearly unsuitable. Lord Xia just needs to give one month’s time for Lord Cao to withdraw with people to Cai Qiu, how about it?"
Hmm?
Xia Hong’s face immediately showed a hint of surprise.
It’s not withdrawing the army; it’s about leading a group of Cao Qianyang’s people to withdraw to Cai Qiu.
This Cai Qiuhu is, indeed, extraordinary!
