After the sage entered the main hall, he said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, as soon as I walked out of the house, I found that the seven-star tree in the courtyard had withered overnight."
"The leaves were gray-black in color and fell to the ground, forming a twisted formation of the word 'war'."
"The black word "war" symbolizes a fierce battle!"
"I dare to ask your Majesty, are you planning to start a war against a certain force? If so, I hope your Majesty will think twice and proceed with caution."
"If not, we should make preparations to meet the enemy as early as possible. There may be a war disaster coming soon!"
The wise man finished speaking in a hurry, without even taking a breath.
The ministers above the main hall looked at each other with a look of "Sure enough," in each other's eyes.
When the long-bearded old man saw this, his heart skipped a beat: "Looking at your expressions... could it be that the war has already started?"
"Oh, that's a long story."
The old king waved his hand slowly: "Does the sage know about the triumphant victory of the Third Bronze Legion of the People's Guards and the Black Iron Legion of Guizhao?"
"The old man just woke up and noticed that the fallen leaves in the garden were in different shapes. He rushed here non-stop and has not heard about it yet."
The old king gave a soft hum: "Kai Haiping, just tell him and listen."
"yes."
Shao Qing, the sage's originally unattractive face became paler: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."
At this moment, another cry came from outside the hall: "Report——"
"Your Majesty, the Da clan has sent hundreds of letters of war into our city."
"War letter?"
Old Barbarian Wang Bai
He frowned and said, "Bring it up!"
"yes."
The city gate officer hurriedly opened the rope, took off the thin animal roll wrapped around the arrow shaft, and handed it over with both hands.
The old barbarian king unfolded the animal skin scroll and took a look at it, with a stern look on his face: "Humph, you are a member of the Da clan!"
"Before I had time to go to them to settle accounts, they came to complain first."
In anger, the old barbarian king casually threw the animal skin scroll to the ground.
Many ministers in the main hall stretched their necks to look.
After a while, everyone was furious: "This bastard from the Da clan is bullying others too much!"
"They are so shameless, confusing right and wrong, and insisting that we burned down the Koi Fighting Beast City?"
"You still have the nerve to say that they tried to dissuade them with good intentions, but our people violently killed each other?"
"Now, they are forcing us to hand over the so-called culprit, and they also want to pay three times the baggage losses in the previous battle. If we don't comply, they will start a war brazenly."
"This, this is so fucking shameless!"
In addition to the anger and anger among the people, everyone in the main hall was also heavy-minded.
Although the Da clan is the culprit behind the burning of the city, the Kai clan suffers from the lack of evidence and their empty talk, no matter how beautiful their words are, is not enough to correct their case.
At this time, I suddenly heard the door attendant outside the main hall singing: "Your Majesty, the Winged Dragon Sky Man has something urgent to see you."
When the old barbarian king heard this, a bitter smile flashed across his lips, as if he had already guessed the purpose of his visit: "Please come quickly."
Not long after, Yi Longtian brought a young man with dark skin and sinister features to the hall.
What makes Chen Shen feel strange is that the young man who has never been masked before following Yi Longtian seems to be deeply hostile to him.
Although the two people only made eye contact for a moment, Chen Shen still clearly caught the almost uncontrollable violence when the other person looked at him.
After habitually turning on "Knowing Human Eyes", Chen Shen was secretly shocked: "Good guy, the red halo on this guy's head is so red and black!"
"It's really weird. I've never seen him before. Why does this guy Mao have such a deep hatred for me?"
"Well... no matter what, you still have to be more careful."
Chen Shen really couldn't imagine that this young man who had changed his appearance was the Kaiyang Feng of that day!
After the old barbarian king and Yi Longtian exchanged some greetings, the latter smiled lightly: "Haha, I'm telling you the truth."
"I am here mainly because I want to inquire about something from the king."
Speaking of this, the sturdy old man gave Kai Yangfeng a wink.
The young man understood this and respectfully handed the other party a roll of animal skin.
After Yilongtian unfolded it in front of everyone, he half-smiled and said, "Before my servants entered the city this morning, they saw an arrow stuck in the city wall, and the arrow shaft was still wrapped in animal skin."
"Out of curiosity, he took it off and was shocked when he opened it, so he quickly came to show it to me."
"I just don't know whether the content written on this animal skin scroll is true or false?"
The old barbarian king squinted his eyes and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Oh, it's true!"
It turned out that the animal skin scroll was of the same type as the one that the old barbarian king had just noticed.
"What the Da clan said is simply confusing right and wrong."
The old barbarian king told the truth in a majestic manner. Regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, his attitude still had to be shown first.
However, the old barbarian king still had reservations and did not explicitly say that the mastermind behind the Kai clan was most likely the Daxiang clan.
Firstly, because there is no evidence; secondly, saying such things is tantamount to setting yourself on fire.
Going to war with the Da clan, which was of comparable strength, was enough to give the old barbarian king a headache.
If the Da Xiang family is involved again, there will be no way to start this battle. It is better to just cede the land and pay compensation. Maybe there is still a way to survive...
After hearing what the old barbarian king said, Yi Longtian frowned slightly: "Well...that means that neither you nor the Da clan have direct evidence to prove that the other party is guilty?"
"Haha, I'm quick to talk, I hope the king won't blame me."
The old barbarian king didn't expect to win the other party's trust with empty words, so he just waved his hand calmly: "It doesn't matter."
Yilong Tian smiled lightly and said: "I believe that your Majesty, Your Majesty, has heard of the rule that we do business and do not participate in tribal wars or political power struggles."
"Well, I understand and can understand it."
The old Barbarian King's expression did not change, but he sighed quietly in his heart: "Alas! It seems that the trade group that finally came to our door is about to leave."
As expected, Yi Longtian knocked on his chest with his fist and said slightly apologetically: "In that case, our caravan will leave today."
"For the goods that your department ordered but have not yet been delivered, I am afraid that I will have to terminate the contract now."
"If your department needs wartime supplies, we can sign another contract."
Yi Longtian said with a straight face: "However... the supply of materials during wartime is much more difficult than in ordinary times. Therefore, the charges for the same items will often be one to five times higher. I hope the king will know earlier."
The old barbarian king didn't have much reaction after hearing this. In fact, when he learned that Yi Longtian came to ask for a meeting, he had already been mentally prepared for this.
However, Chen Shen, who heard this for the first time, was really surprised: "The price of material supplies during wartime was one to five times higher than during normal times?"
"I'll go, no wonder there was a saying in the previous life that war profits were the most profitable..."
