In the afternoon, the lazy sunlight spreads across the earth.
Daxia Palace, Qinzheng Hall.
Xia Yuan sat on the dragon chair, but only occupied half of the seat.
The reason for this is just because he still sticks to his persistence——
The other half of the dragon chair is reserved for Wang Chenshen who is side by side!
Now, as an exception, Chen Shen himself, as the master of Tianqi Pavilion, was invited to the Xuanlong Platform where the dragon chair was held.
The great eunuch Li Zongming, upon the emperor's order, personally brought a jade chair and placed it directly opposite the dragon chair, allowing the master and apprentice to talk.
"When I first entered the city, I heard from the guard general that the conflict between South Korea and Daxia is due to a mine?"
"Yes, that's what happened..."
Chen Shen got straight to the point, and Xia Yuan, a disciple, naturally wouldn't beat around the bush and told the whole story.
It turned out that South Korea coveted the newly discovered spirit stone veins in Daxia, so it shamelessly raised a border dispute and insisted that the mineral deposits belong to the territory of the Langxe Kingdom affiliated with Daehan.
When the gap in comprehensive strength between two countries is too large, negotiations will be reduced to a mere formality.
In fact, all countries know that this incident is obviously Korea's attempt to stir up trouble.
Their so-called border dispute is completely fabricated.
That piece of spirit stone vein was originally located on the southeastern border of Daxia territory, only three hundred miles away from Lingyuguan, so it was impossible to get there anyway!
But South Korea can’t afford to offend it! As one of the seven great empires, isn’t it easy for it to overthrow two or three kingdoms in one fell swoop?
Therefore, everyone knows the truth, but no one dares to stand up and say something fair.
Some time ago, during Daxia's campaign to exterminate the Tai bandits, many kingdoms that took advantage were said to have formed an offensive and defensive alliance.
But now it is discovered that Daxia is being targeted by South Korea, one of the seven empires, and the so-called alliance has become a piece of waste paper.
The leaders of all the countries in the alliance either complained about illness or complained about poverty. In short, they wanted troops but no troops, money and food but no money and food. It was obvious that they wanted to stand by and watch.
In the end, the Xia Kingdom had to face the Langxie Kingdom independently with the support of Korea, and the border wars became more and more intense.
It seems that South Korea did not expect that the new king of Daxia, who had just ascended the throne, would be so courageous. He knew that the national power of the two sides was greatly disparity, but he still dared to fight to the death.
If South Korea is the leader of the Seven Great Empires, or even reaches the status of the Kingdom of Ziwei in the secular world, then it can ignore the public opinions of other countries and go its own way.
But now, South Korea is far from being a single country.
Even if the Xiujie does not intervene in the war in the secular world, there are still six countries around Korea, including Qin, Chu, and Yan, watching covetously.
If South Korea's trip is too ugly, then the Six Nations will not take the opportunity to fight in the name of "righteous war". On the surface, they are helping Daxia to tide over this disaster, but in fact, they are waiting for the opportunity to reap benefits from their own pockets.
As a result, South Korea's situation is extremely passive.
Therefore, the Emperor of Korea wanted to make a quick decision and kill the enemy before the situation became unstoppable!
It was precisely because of this that Xia Yuan was assassinated.
In the eyes of the Emperor of Korea, as long as the young and energetic new master of the Xia Kingdom dies, the other side will be leaderless and will inevitably fall into chaos.
If the capital of Daxia no longer has a general, how can it still have sovereignty? By then, the ownership of the mineral veins will be self-evident...
"Alas! If the queen hadn't had some sense that night, suddenly realized the murderous intention while she was sleeping, and blocked the sword for Gu, I, Daxia, would have really gone into chaos..."
"What about the assassin? Has he been caught?"
Xia Yuan shook his head sadly: "When the attack missed, Mr. Li and the Ten Dragon Guards had already rushed into the palace. Knowing that there was no hope of escape, the assassin blew himself up in his dantian and died..."
"Speaking of which, it's thanks to the master who gave my disciple a middle-grade divine wind and demon-controlling talisman before he left. It was able to withstand the assassin's self-destructive Dantian power, and my disciple was able to survive."
Chen Shen nodded slightly and asked: "Then how do you know that the assassin was sent by South Korea? Could someone be setting the blame? Although the possibility is not high, we have to guard against it!"
"Because, my disciple recognizes him!"
"oh?"
"It's a coincidence. Thirteen years ago, my disciple followed the order of the late emperor to tour the south. At that time, he met a man with a similar temperament, named Ninth Young Master."
"Although this man is called Ninth Young Master, he is already a middle-aged man. At that time, his cultivation level was unfathomable, and it seems to be even worse than the late emperor at his peak!"
"At that time, I introduced the Ninth Young Master as my senior, and he did not look down on me because of my young age. It was as if we had known each other for years."
"We were in the same boat and talked about everything. I still remember the Ninth Young Master once said that he was an assassin in his early years, but he washed his hands in a golden basin not long ago."
"He also said: If he does assassinate again in the future, there is only one person in this world who can make him restart the blade. Because he owes the other person a huge favor."
"That person's name is Handesa."
When Xia Yuan said this, he paused slightly and added: "I didn't know who Han Desa was at that time. I just heard about it and passed by. Three days later, the Ninth Young Master left without saying goodbye, and I never saw him again."
"Only now do I know that Handesa, whom the Ninth Young Master mentioned that day, is the current king of the Korean Empire!"
Hearing this, Chen Shen suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Oh? So, with the cultivation level of this Ninth Young Master, Li Zongming and the Ten Dragon Guards alone may not be able to defeat him!"
Xia Yuan nodded slowly and sighed softly: "Oh! It was probably when he was stabbing me that he hesitated a little and his unstable breath woke up the queen."
"When he found out that I also recognized his facial features, he felt guilty, but he had to repay Handesa's kindness and had to kill me."
"That's why I chose to blow up my Dantian to kill people and myself!"
After a brief silence, Chen Shen asked again: "What does Korea have to say about this?"
"Humph, what else can they say? They are just denying it." Xia Yuan was filled with indignation.
"Hahaha, you're so stubborn that you won't admit it."
At this time, Chen Shen suddenly laughed, but the smile made people feel chilly in his heart: "Don't be rude to anyone who comes to you! Since they used despicable means to assassinate the king of a country first, I will do that for a while
Handesa, look how much this Korean emperor weighs?"
"Ah? This... Master, please think twice!" Xia Yuan hurriedly stood up and bowed his hands.
"What? They can be so nasty, why do you still care about the reputation of the countries and don't plan to use their own methods to treat them?"
"No, no, no, I just don't want you, Master, to take risks for me. That great Korea... is one of the seven empires after all."
"It is said that all the kings of the seven empires are the legendary Xuanhuang warriors, and there are thousands of Xuanwang masters in the country. I am worried..."
"Okay, okay."
Chen Shen waved his hand: "Just keep it in your heart! I will make my own decision as a teacher on what to do..."
