Chapter 261 The Envoy from Wudu
Chapter 261 The Envoy from Wudu
In fact, Xia Zhongnan currently only needs a place to gain a foothold. Maitreya City is close at hand and is aggressive, and has always been his primary target, followed by Wudu. Now that he has the opportunity to conquer Wudu, he has not ignored the threat of Maitreya City...
Due to the existence of Maitreya City, it will eventually become a demonic obstacle for Wu Kingdom and even the entire Donggu Territory. This threat cannot be ignored.
In the blink of an eye, fifty third-level strange monsters are about to be born in Fengqi Mountain, and there will be more in the future. Faced with this situation, attacking Maitreya City is imperative.
Everyone understood Xia Zhongnan's plan and went back to make active preparations.
A few days later, two people who claimed to be envoys from Wudu and cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage quietly appeared outside the gate of the Wentian Palace and requested to meet Xia Zhongnan.
The guard led them to an elegant hall to wait. Xia Zhongnan walked in and saw two young men in their thirties. One of them asked, "Excuse me, are you the Palace Master Xia?"
Xia Zhongnan nodded slightly.
The two men immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Qu Dongxu and Tang Yanxiu greet Palace Master Xia!"
Xia Zhongnan responded: "You call yourselves the envoys of Wudu. What is your specific identity? Are you sent by the Wudu royal court?"
Xia Zhongnan motioned for them to stand up and talk; he was not used to having people kneel down.
Qu Dongxu explained: "We were not sent by the royal court."
Xia Zhongnan asked: "So, you call yourselves the 'envoys from Wudu'. If you don't represent the royal court, who do you represent?"
Tang Yanxiu replied, "Master Xia, we are here under the orders of Grand Marshal Tang Huaigang and Prime Minister Qu Tongtian."
Xia Zhongnan heard this: "Qu Tongtian? I heard that Guan Shiyao was his son-in-law and was killed by my people in Jiangcheng. What is his intention in sending you here?"
Qu Dongxu knelt on one knee again: "Master Xia, my father is Master Qu Tongtian. My father and Master Tang originally planned for him to visit Master Liuzhou Mu in Lingzhu City first, and then go to Jiangzhou, but he did not listen and went to Jiangzhou without authorization. This is his own fault. How dare my father blame Master Xia? This time we were ordered to come here, in fact, to invite Master Xia to come to Wudu and take charge of the power of Wu State.
My father once said: "A country cannot be without a monarch for a day. Wu State needs a supreme monarch to deter other countries, otherwise there will be turmoil. Bai State is a lesson for us. If Master Xia is willing to take charge of Wu State, Qu Tongtian and Tang Huaigang will surely stabilize the situation in Wudu. We respectfully welcome Master Xia to come."
Xia Zhongnan asked: "He said he could pacify the situation in Wudu? Is Wudu in turmoil now?"
Tang Yanxiu replied: "The people of Wudu are in panic, but on the surface they are still calm!"
Xia Zhongnan asked in return: "Since it is peaceful, why do we need to pacify it?"
Tang Yanxiu explained: "Although it is peaceful for the time being, once the news spreads that the Xia clan leader will take charge of Wu State, Wu Capital will surely be in chaos. To be honest, Dongxu is the most respected sixth son of my Qu family, and I am the seventh son of Lord Tang Huaigang. We came here secretly, just to understand the wishes of the Xia clan leader.
If you are willing to take charge of the Wu Kingdom, the two of you will work with other adults to eliminate all the forces of the Wulonghai lineage, and then welcome Master Xia. "
Xia Zhongnan fell into deep thought. He expected that Wu Guo would send someone to negotiate, but he did not expect such a proposal.
Qu Dongxu and Tang Yanxiu looked at him nervously, waiting for his answer. After a moment of silence, Xia Zhongnan spoke: "Although Wu Longhai is gone, the Wu State royal family has a deep foundation. Do Qu Tongtian and Tang Huaigang really dare to risk the world's disapproval and completely eradicate them?"
Qu Dongxu said in a deep voice: "The royal family of Wu State has forged glory through a thousand and seven hundred years of rule. After years of baptism, the real essence is only a few heirs who have been carefully cultivated by successive rulers and are expected to touch the laws of heaven and earth. The rest are mostly frivolous people. Now that Wu Longhai has suddenly fallen, Wu State can no longer wait for the day when the other heirs will comprehend the laws.
In the history of Donggu Territory, countless kingdoms have been destroyed due to the fault of the rule of law. Rather than watching Wu Kingdom being eroded by its neighbors, it is better for Master Xia to take over quickly, so that Wu Kingdom can avoid the war. "
Xia Zhongnan responded: "If so, what else do I need to prepare?"
Qu Dongxu replied: "The consent of the headmaster is sufficient. The other matters will be properly handled by the two adults."
Xia Zhongnan smiled and said, "Okay, if the two adults make proper arrangements, I will go to Wudu!"
Hearing Xia Zhongnan's agreement, the two knelt on one knee again: "Qu Dongxu, Tang Yanxiu, meet the new king!"
Xia Zhongnan felt a little amused. Was he going to become king so soon? But he did not refuse. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It is not appropriate to leave empty-handed. How about this? I will send a few powerful people in the virtual realm to return with you. If you encounter too much resistance, you can ask them to help you."
The two of them said gratefully: "Thank you, new king!"
Xia Zhongnan called Tu Shan Fang Er and Bai Ze. He explained the situation to them and instructed them: "Take Qi Sheng, Huang Xian, Ma Da, Tian Ming...accompany these two young friends to Wudu!"
Through Qu Dongxu and Tang Yanxiu's words and deeds, Xia Zhongnan saw their sincerity, and with his insight into the situation in Wudu, he was convinced that this plan was feasible. So he directly appointed Tu Shanfang'er and Bai Ze to lead the twelve strange beasts to Wudu.
Since the decision was made to act, it must be carried out with absolute strength. In case of any unexpected events, with Bai Ze's impeccable strategy and Tu Shan Fang'er's adaptability wisdom, plus the powerful combat power of more than a dozen spirit beasts, things can naturally be solved smoothly.
After waiting for a day, the summoned spirit beasts were assembled, and taking advantage of the night, the team headed towards Wudu.
Wudu, late at night.
Tang Huaigang, Qu Tongtian, Tu Shiyun, Xie Shuyi, Zou Wenwu, An Shubao... many important officials gathered together quietly.
Xie Shuyi asked: "Lord Tang, Lord Qu, is there no news from Leader City yet?"
Tang Huaigang replied: "Be patient, Dongxu and my son must act in secret, how can we get a response so quickly?"
Qu Tongtian said: "I have secretly recalled the thirteen princes. Don't worry, I will never allow Wu Huaizheng to do whatever he wants."
Xie Shuyi sighed: "When Wu Huaizu was still alive, Wu Huaizheng acted like a great general. Who would have thought that Wu Huaizu disappeared mysteriously, and Wu Huaizheng became arrogant and domineering, far inferior to Wu Huaizu!"
An Shubao snorted coldly: "This is his true face! In the past, he had to restrain himself because of Wu Huaizu's suppression. Once Wu Huaizu left, his true nature was revealed...
In a distant fantasy world, the mysterious death of the king Wu Longhai in Jiangzhou caused a stir. People were talking about it, "How can a king take risks so easily?" Since ancient times, has anyone ever seen a king venture into an unknown territory?
The ministers expressed their opinions, and many of them complained about Wu Huaizheng. At this time, a guard quietly came to Qu Tongtian and whispered shocking information. Qu Tongtian's eyes flickered and announced: "Please invite them in! No, I will go to greet them personally!" Then he turned to the crowd, "Please wait a moment, I will go to greet the distinguished guests!"
