Chapter 229 Visitors from the Mountains (4)
After hearing this, Prime Minister Wu's expression was solemn, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. He thought that he represented the face of a country, and even in the world of cultivation, he could not lose his composure like this. So, he calmed down, regained his calm and sophisticated look and said, "Greetings, Elder Yaoguang. I came to your sect this time because I want to form an alliance with your sect to fight against the Western Rong!"
Mu Hanxing and the other three were stunned.
I never expected that Prime Minister Wu didn’t come here for the matter of Jiuzhou Ding?
Jing Chen frowned and continued to ask, "What do you mean? Are the Western Rong people going to attack again? What does this have to do with the Wenxin Sect?"
Jing Chen asked the people present what they thought. When Feng Xiao mentioned the Western Rong people, his face didn't look very good. After all, when the Western Rong people invaded the Jingbo Kingdom, the Phoenix Clan did not stop them but chose to ignore and leave.
Prime Minister Wu boldly said in front of the mountain gate: "Your Majesty will promise not to covet the Nine Provinces Cauldron from now on, but I also implore Elder Yaoguang of the Heart Gate to try to negotiate with the Phoenix Clan and let them build fortifications and defensive creations that no one in the three realms would dare to invade."
After hearing this, Mu Hanxing and Feng Xiao's heads were buzzing, they were just angry.
She gnashed her teeth and cursed, "What do you mean you don't dare to take the Jiuzhou Ding? It was originally from my sect! Moreover, if I ask the Phoenix Clan to make weapons and armor for you, and if your Emperor Ning has evil thoughts, wouldn't I be helping the tyrant?"
Prime Minister Wu has lost all his dignity!
"Your Majesty knows the creative power of the Phoenix Clan. The things they create must be incomparable to those of the human world. As long as we can defend the city and make the Western Rong people give up the idea of invading forever, Your Majesty is willing to personally deal with the troops assembled by various countries and make them... withdraw!" Prime Minister Wu said excitedly.
So that's it... Mu Hanxing suddenly realized that Emperor Ning did not want to forcibly fight for the Jiuzhou Ding because of Jing Chen, but at this time the Western Rong people intended to invade, and he was forced to use this condition in exchange. He wanted the Phoenix Clan's fortifications to become his weapon to protect Ningguo forever.
But why should she agree?
"How many people are there in the army?" Jingchen asked him first.
Wu Xiang said frankly: "The various countries are gathering... at least 200,000..."
Two hundred thousand... Although they are all mortals, the Wenxin Sect has many rules. It is an iron rule that mortals cannot be killed without authorization. I don't know if we can kill them in this situation. If it's just a few lives, it's fine. But two hundred thousand lives...
This might violate the laws of heaven.
As Jingchen thought about this, his expression became heavy.
At the same time, Mu Hanxing was also calculating the number of people in the Wenxin Sect in her mind. Not to mention that the Wenxin Sect did not have a 200,000-strong military force to compete with her, even if it did, it was impossible for 200,000 people to obey her orders. Although Cui Ren's party was destroyed, she had just been promoted to Elder Yaoguang, and her position was not stable yet. Moreover, regardless of their abilities, the number of the two sides was so different that even if the Wenxin Sect were all cultivators, they might suffer heavy casualties.
This is forcing her to make a choice...
"The truth behind the theft of the Jiuzhou Ding has not yet been uncovered, and evil spirits and ghosts are emerging in the world in endlessly. Under such circumstances, the armies of various countries are actually coming to attack the Wenxin Gate, which is responsible for protecting the world. Is this the situation you want with internal and external troubles? Do your emperors have brains?!" Mu Hanxing became more and more angry as he thought about it. He clenched his fists and questioned Prime Minister Wu in turn.
At this moment, Er heard Cang Xue's voice coming from the sword: "Puchi... Humans are so funny..."
"Jiuzhou is a new place, and the people are still ignorant. The Immortal Lord is open-minded, so please... show some leniency!" Wu Xiang became excited as he spoke, and he suddenly unbuttoned his clothes and knelt in front of her.
Everyone sighed.
Wow, that's great. The implication is that they are stupid and you are magnanimous, so just forgive them and do what they say.
A huge rage surged in her heart. Cang Xue probably enjoyed the spiritual power brought by this rage, so he suddenly woke up from the sword. He trembled slightly, resonating with her, and felt the murderous intent in her heart.
She tried her best to restrain herself, her expression changing slightly, and she looked like a person who was close to madness and was enduring the pain.
Tang Huanyun was at a loss for words with the Phoenix Clan. For a moment, she felt it was ridiculous, but she also had to wait for Mu Hanxing's decision. Feng Xiao, who was closest to her, noticed that something was wrong with her and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
This is not just discomfort, she is simply going to kill someone.
At this time, Feng Xiao whispered beside her: "If it is just a simple defense of the city, it is not a bad idea, but if we ask them to make conditions in exchange, we will defeat them and the worst that can happen is that we will break up with them."
Mu Hanxing's eyes lit up and he gave Feng Xiao an affirmative look.
She calmed down her anger and continued to negotiate with Prime Minister Wu: "Your goal in Ningguo is just to resist the Western Rong people. I can think of some ways for you, but don't try to control me. Follow the will of your emperor. If you need help from others, you should be humble. Otherwise, I want to see what your 200,000 troops can do to me."
Seeing that she didn't agree at all, but there was still room for change in her words, Wu Xiang didn't care about his dignity at all, and kowtowed to her again: "Just now I broke my promise because of impatience, but I didn't mean to offend you! Please show mercy, Immortal Venerable, and help our dynasty to fight against the Western Rong when necessary!"
"I'll consider it. Let your Emperor Ning wait for my news. I'm busy right now. Please get out of the way." She said fiercely and coldly.
Wu Xiang knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he had to stand up quickly with a group of guards and servants to stand on the side of the mountain gate to make way for her to go down the mountain. He looked tragic and inexplicably excited: "Farewell, Immortal Lord!"
Screw your mother!
She was so angry that she glared at him. Halfway through her journey, she turned back and signaled Tang Huanyun, asking his young godfather to find a way to send this man away, along with his shabby gift for visiting her.
Tang Huanyun received her gaze, nodded, and said to her solemnly: "Xing'er, please be careful about everything."
She waved her hand and hurried down the mountain with Jingchen and Fengxiao.
She felt that Prime Minister Wu was unlucky just by looking at him. Being with him, it seemed like the air was stale!
The three of them stopped at the foot of the mountain to discuss what had just happened. Feng Xiao didn't react much. Jing Chen wanted to go back to Huajing and kill people, but Feng Xiao's reminder just now gave her a new idea.
The most important thing now is that she has not met the leader of the Phoenix Clan after the war, and she doesn't know what she really means. Although she knows that the Phoenix Clan has become Leng Feiren's accomplice in both open and covert ways, she is still pretending to be deaf and dumb on the surface. If this matter is kept secret, it will have no effect on her future political situation.
She didn't want to have any bloody drama of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reconciliation in the fantasy world, but she had to make sure that the Phoenix clan leader would give his son less bad advice in the future!
"Master Tang and the Second Master are quite prestigious in the world of cultivation. The two of them should be able to summon a combat force of over 200,000 in the world of cultivation, right?" Jing Chen asked her tentatively. After all, he didn't want to compromise, and he wanted to directly suppress the insatiable mortal dignitaries.
Of course fighting is easy, but the trouble afterward is difficult.
