Chapter 71 - The Army Approaches The City
Chapter 71: The Army Approaches The City
Great Feng Dynasty, Imperial City.
In the Yangxin Palace.
Great Feng Emperor Mo Shenghong slowly stood up from his throne.
A middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous robe sat at the table.
Great Feng Emperor and Great Qin’s envoy had already exchanged a few rounds of words.
Mo Shenghong felt that there was something strange about what the middle-aged man had said.
The Great Qin Empire had always been a person who ate and drank without spitting out their bones. If it was really for the sake of a woman, there was no need to pay so much attention to it, even if that woman was the ninth Princess of Dafeng.
Before he understood the situation, he would not agree in a muddle-headed manner.
“Little friend! The generals of Dafeng have already suffered losses in the mysterious sky sect. The situation is unknown now…”
“In my opinion, it’s better to have a long-term plan to save them.”
The middle-aged envoy remained expressionless, as if he was confident but not anxious.
He said faintly, “Oh? Then what does His Majesty mean?”
Mo Shenghong raised his head to look at the gloomy night sky.
“It’s already late today. Let’s talk again tomorrow!”
“Someone, bring the envoy to the Posthouse Palace to rest.”
Outside the main hall, a few personal attendants entered.
“Lord Envoy, Please!”
The middle-aged man sipped his tea without any intention of getting up.
He didn’t even bother to raise his head, as if even a single glance at these attendants would dirty his eyes.
“Lord Envoy!”
“Lord Envoy?”
A few attendants were on the verge of tears. They looked left and right in a very difficult situation, but there was nothing they could do.
Mo Shenghong waved his hand, indicating for them to leave.
“Young friend, if you wish to stay in Yangxin Palace for a while longer, there’s no harm. There are still important matters in the palace, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you.”
The middle-aged envoy also understood the meaning behind this, but he calmly sipped his tea.
“This tea is not bad. Your Majesty, why don’t you have a cup of tea before you leave?”
Drink Tea?
Mo Shenghong was stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, he sat down.
He knew that the middle-aged man had asked him to stay, and it was not as simple as asking him to drink tea.
It was only the time it took to brew a cup of tea!
He wanted to see what tricks this person could play!
After a while.
The time it took to brew a cup of tea was up.
Following the sound of anxious footsteps, a servant knelt at the entrance of the Palace Hall.
“Your Majesty, a large number of people bearing Great Qin’s insignia have appeared outside the Imperial City. General Conformist has asked me to come and ask your majesty to make a decision!”
Hearing this, Mo Shenghong’s heart thumped.
It could be seen that he was trying his best to control his emotions, and the teacup in his hand was distorted.
As expected!
Not only did the other party come with ill intentions, but they had also come prepared.
Even though the Great Qin Empire was incredibly powerful, there was at least a distance of 3,000 kilometers between the two countries. Such a large number of people would not have been dispatched on a whim, which meant that Great Qin’s soldiers had already arrived when the envoy came.
There were three passes and six passes between the two countries, and there were 100,000 black armored soldiers and 200,000 ordinary soldiers, making a total of 300,000 people.
However, with such a setup, Great Qin had easily sent in a large number of soldiers. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were already at the city gates, he would have been kept in the dark.
What did this mean?
Mo Shenghong looked at the middle-aged man with a dark expression.
“Little friend, what does this mean?”
“Is the Great Qin Empire trying to show me some respect?”
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, leisurely drinking half a cup of tea before saying.
“Great Feng and our country have established friendly relations over the years, and they have always been very friendly towards our friendly country, Great Qin.”
“However, this trip is fraught with danger. In order to escort us here, we’ve sent people to escort us. We also hope that we can use them as in-laws.”
At this point, the middle-aged man paused.
“The ninth princess is not only Dafeng’s princess, but also the third prince’s imperial consort. Since our Great Qin imperial consort is in danger, we will definitely lend a hand.”
It was happening again!
After going around and around, they still brought it back to Mo Yuanqing!
After going through so much trouble just for a woman, was great Qin lacking in women?
No! It was obvious that something more important had been left out.
Mo Shenghong was able to overcome the tribulations with his current cultivation because he spent all his time on cultivation other than political matters. This caused him to have no time to care about many things.
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Dafeng chose to take a step back!
“I have already sent people to investigate the situation of the Black Heaven Sect. We will receive the news tomorrow morning!”
“Alright!”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll come and talk to His Majesty again tomorrow.”
After saying that, the middle-aged ambassador waved his sleeve and did not bow. Instead, he turned around and left very casually.
Now that he had something to rely on, he could not even be bothered to do the superficial work?
A cold snort!
The aura of a tribulation-transcending expert suddenly erupted from Mo Shenghong’s body.
Wherever the aura passed by, the tables of fruits and delicacies were all reduced to dust.
“Imperial physician!”
“Summon an imperial physician for me!”
…
Black Sky Sect, cloud exploring stream.
Xiu!
A black shadow that was as big as a small mountain was covered.
A moment later!
A huge demonic eagle circled a few times before landing in front of the Black Sky sect’s mountain gate.
“F * ck! Another demonic beast has invaded. Quickly report to the Sect Leader!”
Before he could even run a few steps, the person who had spoken those words was pulled back by another disciple.
“Wang, are you stupid? Look at what this is before you speak.”
“Eh! Isn’t this our sect’s mountain guarding beast, the green-scaled eagle? Riding on it are elder Lei and the others!”
Just as the mountain guarding disciples were discussing, ten disciples led by Lei Mingyuan and the other two elders had already walked down.
It turned out that after leaving the Secret Realm, Lei Gao and the other two elders were worried that the demonic cultivators would ambush them halfway, so they used the green-scaled eagle to return to the Sect as soon as possible.
The green-scaled eagle was a Nascent Soul Stage demonic beast. It was good at speed, and its movement speed was comparable to that of a tribulation transcending expert.
This was the precious treasure of the sect.
If they hadn’t informed the Sect Leader in advance, they really wouldn’t have been able to invite this master.
But in the end, they didn’t encounter any danger.
A mountain guarding disciple curiously stretched out his neck.
“Senior Brother, what do you think they’re crying for? Could it be that the Secret Realm didn’t obtain any treasures?”
“Hey! Senior Brother, why did you hit me?”
“You brat, don’t talk nonsense. These are all young talents from the various peaks. How can we, the disciples guarding the mountain, talk about them!”
Following their gazes, there were actually a few disciples secretly wiping away their tears.
“Why are you crying? Look at you. You are not even as good as the two little girls. Learn from them!”
Lei Ming berated them from afar, and the few people who had shed tears finally restrained themselves a little.
Su Yan’er and Mo Yuanqing, who were standby at the side, could not help but look at each other and smile when they heard this.
The Sunset Peak was as quiet as usual.
Closing his eyes and listening to the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the bamboo forest was really an auditory enjoyment.
At this moment, under the Bamboo Forest, a handsome youth was lying on a rocking chair, humming an unknown tune.
Leisurely and leisurely.
Suddenly, he felt someone behind him.
Before he could get up, a pair of slender hands had already covered his eyes.
“Hey! Senior Brother, Guess who I am?”
This silly girl, do I still have to guess?
She uses this trick every day, can’t she change something new.
Sigh! Only Senior Brother is willing to cooperate with you.
The corners of Su Xing’s mouth twitched slightly before returning to normal.
“You… you are master?”
Upon hearing the answer, the other party was clearly stunned.
“Not master. Senior Brother, try to guess again!”
“Then you are the Sect Leader?”
“No, how could it be that strange uncle? Try to guess again.”
Su Xing pretended to think for a few seconds before saying loudly.
“I know. You aren’t a human, are you?”
Er…
