Chapter 268 Offering Land to the Dragon
Chapter 268 Offering Land to the Dragon
"How audacious!" "How arrogant!"...
Many ministers of the feudal states pointed fingers at Ren Boyan. Ren Boyan ignored their scolding and snorted coldly: "The letter has been delivered, everyone, goodbye!"
"What a lowly creature!" "Such arrogance, how can it be tolerated?" "Sacrifice this beast for the throne!"
Seeing his arrogant attitude, the court officials were furious and made a lot of noise.
Feng Yuxiu said in a deep voice: "Silence!"
The power of law was contained in the words, which echoed like thunder in the ears of all the ministers. They fell silent and turned their eyes to their king.
Feng Yuxiu sighed and said, "Emissary Ren does not need to leave in a hurry. It was my fault that Feng State invaded Daxia's territory in the past. It is legitimate for Daxia to ask for compensation."
The ministers stared with wide eyes.
What does the king mean by that? Why did he surrender so easily?
Prime Minister Helian Pengpeng bowed and said: "My king, although 500,000 soldiers have perished, the foundation is not damaged. Moreover, those who sent troops to Xia land are not a family of our feudal state, so why should we be afraid?"
Feng Yuxiu did not respond directly to Helian Pengpeng, but said to Ren Boyan: "Messenger Ren, please take a rest first. I will reply after discussing with my ministers!"
He had already shown weakness, but he didn't want his plan to be heard by outsiders, so he asked Ren Boyan to leave for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Ren Boyan pressed on: "My king is still waiting for a reply. I wonder how long it will take to discuss the title with the ministers?"
Feng Yuxiu replied: "I will give the envoy a reply today!"
Ren Boyan replied: "In that case, I will wait until the last moment of sunset to say goodbye!"
After saying this, he proudly left the hall, led by the guards of the country.
After he left, many ministers looked at Feng Yuxiu, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
Feng Yuxiu said: "My Feng country's 500,000 strong army was wiped out in one day. I have a feeling that Ji and Bi countries will also suffer the same treatment.
Think about it, if five states are to be ceded to the Xia Kingdom, which states should be ceded?
I will immediately go to the borders of Ji, Bi and Xia to investigate. If I find that the two countries have also suffered heavy losses, I will agree to Xia's request! "
After he finished speaking, he disappeared in the Golden Palace in a flash, leaving no trace.
At the same time, Xia's other two void messengers, Lai Junjie and Xie Chaogui, arrived at the courts of Ji and Bi respectively.
These three envoys were carefully selected by Tang Huaigang and Qu Tongtian, and Xia Zhongnan personally taught them the tricks. Their actions in the court of the Three Kingdoms were all in accordance with Xia Zhongnan's orders.
When Lai Junjie finished reading the letter of credence, there was a sudden "pop" sound and Yuwen Tuo slapped him away.
In the court, seeing Lai Junjie "flying" towards them, all the ministers dodged and let him fall to the ground, rolling for more than ten meters before stopping.
When Lai Junjie struggled to get up, his seven orifices were bleeding, and his handsome face turned into a pig's head. Yuwen Tuo's rebuke still rang in his ears: "Who are you, a lunatic, to dare to speak rudely in front of my throne!"
Lai Junjie brushed off the dust on his clothes, ignoring the blood flowing from his mouth and nose, and bowed to Yuwen Tuo, saying, "The letter has been delivered, goodbye! I will report the kindness of the Lord of Ji today to the King of Daxia!"
Yuwen Tuo shouted angrily: "Get lost!" ...
Ryan Junjie remained silent, and amid the ridicule of the court officials of Ji State, he left the Golden Palace and headed straight for the mysterious territory of Xia State.
Jiguo Prime Minister Fan Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Xiaguo wiped out 500,000 of my troops in one day. Its strength cannot be underestimated. We must prepare for a full-scale war as soon as possible!"
Ivan Tuo responded: "Xia is indeed powerful, but we have reached an agreement with Maitreya City to jointly fight against Xia. With Bi and Feng as allies, I don't believe Xia has the courage to challenge so many neighboring countries at the same time! Besides, Wei, Man, Mang and Khan are not easy to deal with. Once they notice Xia's weakness, they will pounce on us like hungry wolves!"
In Bi State, Xie Chaogui also could not escape the humiliation. Although he was not attacked, he returned in disgrace amid the ridicule of the ministers of Bi State.
At this moment, in the court of Daxia, the morning court had just begun, and the guards announced: "The Khanate's Grand Marshal Baru came to congratulate Daxia on its successful founding, and congratulate the King of Xia on his coronation as the King of Daxia!"
Xia Zhongnan said, "Is that Marshal Baru? I haven't seen him for a long time. Please invite him in!"
A moment later, the long-lost Marshal Baru strode into the magnificent palace. He stared at the lofty Great Xia King, and the image overlapped with Xia Zhongnan in his memory, and countless thoughts surged in his mind. At that time, Xia Zhongnan had just entered the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
A thought flashed through his mind: "If I had defeated him regardless of everything, Lang Zhengfeng would probably not have been able to save him. Would Wu Kingdom still be the Great Xia of today? Have I changed the course of history?"
However, this was only a momentary reverie.
Recalling the situation at that time, he could not find a reason to deal with Xia Zhongnan. Instead, he sent two Void Realm cultivators, Qiu Jiye and Ke Subie, to ensure his safety.
Marshal Baru bowed and said, "On behalf of our Lord, I extend my warm congratulations to the founding of Daxia. Congratulations to Lord Xia on ascending to the throne of Daxia! This is a gift from our Lord!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and the area in front of him was filled with Yuanshi and cultivation supplies.
Xia Zhongnan said: "Thank you, Lord Khan! Prime Minister Qu, please accept the gift from the Khanate!"
Qu Tongtian put the gift into his storage ring. Xia Zhongnan continued, "Marshal Baru, we are old friends. I am very happy that you can come to Daxia! May Daxia and the Khanate be friends for generations! Please take a seat!"
Marshal Baru replied: "Thank you, Lord Xia!"
After sitting down, he asked, "I heard that when Xia was founded, Feng, Ji, and Bi sent troops to attack at the same time, and Maitreya City also took action. Now that the armies of the three countries have been defeated by Daxia, does Daxia have any plans to intimidate Maitreya City?"
Xia Zhongnan asked in return: "What is the Khan's opinion?"
Marshal Baru said: "When the White Kingdom was divided, Daxia occupied nine states, and our Khanate also seized eight states. After the rise of Maitreya City, we left the three states adjacent to it, without appointing governors to govern, hoping to use them as a buffer zone. Who knew that Maitreya City was still not satisfied after occupying these three states, and continued to infiltrate our Khanate with boundless greed. Our lord believes that Maitreya City's ambition is like a wolf cub. If we let it develop, all of our countries will suffer greatly...
In faraway Ostrand, the barbaric kingdoms of Wei, Mang and Sargon were too afraid to act rashly. Under the firm leadership of Xia Zhongnan, the Great Xia Kingdom adhered to its vow not to give up an inch of the Maitreya Fortress and repeatedly thwarted the invasion of the evil Maitreya cult believers.
"My king is eager to form an alliance with Daxia to resist the power of Maitreya Fortress."
Xia Zhongnan responded: "Does Khan Sargon really have such ambitions?"
Grand Marshal Baru replied: "Our king has stated that the reason for his tolerance of Maitreya Fortress in the past was that the fortress was too powerful for Sargon to contend with alone. If we have the assistance of Daxia, how can we sit back and watch the Maitreya sect grow stronger? After all, the stronger the Maitreya Fortress is, the greater the threat to Daxia will be."
