Special War God

Chapter 274 Sounding the Alarm Bell

Yang Yugu said in a deep voice: “We have learned that Xia Zhongnan, the ruler of Xia State, came to the capital of Ji State last night with dozens of powerful ethereal realm masters and defeated Yuwen Tuo, the ruler of Qi State, in one fell swoop.

Yuwen Tuo escaped into the magic formation protecting the city, but Xia Zhongnan led a group of powerful ethereal warriors to break the formation together, and in just a moment they destroyed Jidu's defense barrier.

Eventually, Yuwen Tuo was forced to cede the five states to the Xia Kingdom, and he swore with his soul that he would never again conspire with the Moro City, and promised to help the Xia Kingdom dominate Xia Zhongnan. "

Upon hearing this, the court officials looked at each other in shock.

Who could have expected that Xia Zhongnan not only set foot in Bi State, but had already exerted the same deterrence in Ji State.

However, the situation of Ji State was even more miserable. Its ruler was defeated and the magic formation protecting the city was destroyed.

They were grateful but also felt helpless. In comparison, the Bi Kingdom was lucky enough to have escaped the disaster.

Yang Yugu witnessed everyone's reactions and thought of the ruined palace he had seen before, and a chill passed through his heart.

Ning Yuanfang sighed: "First, the Moruo Cult occupied Moruo City, and then Xia Zhongnan, the ruler of Xia Country, suddenly showed his spiritual power. It seems that the tranquility of Donggu Territory is a thing of the past."

Xia Zhongnan returned to the capital of Xia and placed the strange beast in Qiyun Mountain on the northern outskirts of the capital.

The court officials were still waiting in the Golden Dragon Palace. They had learned that the king had led his troops to break the magic formation protecting the Jidu city and forced Yuwen Tuo to agree to three harsh conditions.

Xia Zhongnan returned to his seat, and Qu Tongtian respectfully asked, "Lord, I heard that you have come to Ji State in person?"

Xia Zhongnan looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Lai Junjie. He smiled and said, "Lai Junjie, I have already sought justice for Yuwen Tuo's insult to you!"

Lai Junjie was shocked and knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Lord!"

Xia Zhongnan turned to Xie Chaogui and said, "Xie Chaogui, I clearly stated in my letter to Biguo that if they are unwilling to cede land and apologize, I will go and ask for it myself.

Now that I have just returned from Bidu, those five states have become the territory of our country Daxia!"

All the officials were shocked and looked at the young and ambitious ruler.

Xia Zhongnan sat on the throne, his voice as powerful as thunder: "When our country Daxia was first established, the coalition forces of Feng, Ji and Bi invaded and were eventually annihilated. The three countries ceded land as compensation!

From now on, anyone who dares to challenge our country, no matter how strong or weak, will be severely punished, and will be hunted down to the end even if they are at the ends of the earth!"

Tang Huaigang and Qu Tongtian faced new troubles.

Originally, it was necessary to select governors for five new states, but in just two days, ten more governor positions became vacant.

The seven governors who were left aside by Xia Zhongnan went to Xiuzhou Governor Liu Dabazi's villa in Wudu as scheduled.

When Liu Dabazi heard the guards' report that seven governors had arrived, he already knew their purpose.

He said lightly: "Let them in!"

Seven people were entertained in the hall of the villa.

After a brief ceremony, the host and the guest sat down, and Mizhou Mu Lu Chengyan stood up and bowed: "Sir Liu, we are here to visit you in the hope that you can lend a helping hand.

When Daxia was founded, we failed to meet the king in time. It was indeed our fault. Now we know our fault and want to ask for the king's forgiveness, but the king has never summoned us...

As we all know, the king has a close relationship with the great sage Liu Dabazi, so we beg the great sage to speak earnestly for us in front of the king!"

After saying this, a spiritual wood gift box flashed in his hand, and he opened it and said, "This is a 'Seven-aperture Exquisite Heavenly Ginseng'. It is my humble respect. Please accept it, great sage."

Liu Dabazi glanced into the gift box and saw a ginseng as thick as an adult's arm and shaped like a human lying quietly. There were actually seven orifices on its "head", including a mouth, eyes, ears, nose, and other organs, just like a living being.

Being able to grow into such a shape, this ginseng must have contained magical powers and its effects must be extraordinary.

Liu Dabazi was born in an ordinary family and had never seen such a treasure.

Although he was happy in his heart, he remained calm on the outside. He took the gift box and placed it on the table.

Lu Chengyan knew very well that this "Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heavenly Ginseng" alone was not enough to impress Liu Dabazi, so he signaled to others with his eyes as he retreated.

Jin Yaoqin, the lord of Luzhou Territory, also showed a gift box surrounded by spiritual light in her hand. She stepped forward and said, "This is a 'Millennium Snow Grass'. Please accept it, Master Liu!"

Afterwards, everyone came forward one by one and presented the gifts they had prepared.

After all seven people presented their gifts, Liu Dabazi spoke: "I want to tell you that the king has always been ruthless and ruthless towards his enemies. But he always cares for you subordinates and takes good care of you. He just ascended the throne and decisively dealt with the eight lords, but was lenient towards you. I guess he has no intention of punishing you, otherwise how could you live until now?"

When the seven heard this, they thought of the eight lords who had been punished and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Liu Dabazi continued, "Although the king does not regard you as an enemy, you have offended him, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to convince him to forgive you. Let me recommend a few friends to you, and you can visit them. If they can join me in pleading for you in front of the king, I believe the king will forgive your mistakes!"

Lu Chengyan quickly asked: "Please give me some advice, great sage!"

Liu Dabazi replied: "Qizhou Territory Lord Zhao Delin, Yanzhou Territory Lord Zuoqiu Juemin, Xuanzhou Territory Lord Duan Ganbao, Xianzhou Territory Lord Qiu Butong, Yinzhou Territory Lord Mao Zizhuang, Jingzhou Territory Lord Liu Niansheng, Xiangzhou Territory Lord Sheng Guanchao, Xuanzhou Territory Lord Jiao Bohu."

Lu Chengyan asked in confusion: "Aren't these the eight new lords of the territory that the king has appointed?"

Gu Xiuzhan was unwilling to take over the task of replacing eight lords at once, so Xia Zhongnan had to promote Yuan Qingchao's deputy Liu Niansheng. After all, he could not let a strange beast serve as a lord.

Liu Dabazi explained: "Don't you understand yet? Why did the king choose to promote them? Of course, it's because they have a close relationship with the king!"

The seven people nodded in agreement: "The great sage is right! The great sage is right!"

Liu Dabazi said with a smile: "The eight new territorial owners have not yet purchased real estate in the summer capital. They are all temporarily living in a courtyard. This just happens to save you from running around. Go quickly!"

The seven people said goodbye and left. Liu Dabazi couldn't help but smile as he watched their backs. He valued friendship and loyalty, and wanted to share the benefits with his brothers after he gained the benefits. At the same time, this was also a way to vent Xia Zhongnan's anger... ...

He understood Xia Zhongnan's hint. The Great Xia Kingdom was rising like a storm, and there were only a handful of reliable allies. If these governors showed no signs of betrayal, they should be treated with tolerance.

However, if they are let off easily, the king's dignity will be damaged.

After proper handling, everyone got what they wanted, and Xia Zhongnan took advantage of the situation to bring the matter to an end. Whether in the martial arts world or the imperial court, human relationships are often more important than swordplay.

The seven people, carrying Liu Dabazi's banner, entered the residences of Zhao Delin, Mao Zizhuang and others, and were surprised to find that in addition to the eight governors mentioned by Liu Dabazi, Jiang Governor Yuan Qingchao was also on the list.
