Xiao Guizi waited for Emperor Chu's reply. All his eyes were focused on Emperor Chu, and he saw a faint smile on his face, and his powerful voice spread:
"Xiao Guizi, I'm very busy. I'm discussing military and political matters with the generals!"
"Instruct Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling to receive the envoys from the Wuling Empire. If they are just sending congratulatory gifts, let them keep the gifts and return to Wuling as early as possible to celebrate the New Year."
"If they change their minds and want to surrender to Wu Chu, I can come forward to summon them!"
The words fell.
Emperor Chu waved his hand to signal Xiao Guizi to step back, and continued to discuss with the generals how to use troops to worship the moon, Tubo, Wu Ling, and how to allocate troops to protect the cities and garrison in the four directions.
Time flew by, and it was nightfall in the blink of an eye. The generals left the palace. Xiao Guizi asked: "Your Majesty, are you staying in the Yangxin Hall tonight?"
"Not in a hurry!"
Emperor Chu waved his hand and signaled Xiao Guizi to retreat to one side. At this moment, the servants outside the palace came in, raised their fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, the two prime ministers have entered the palace and have arrived outside the imperial study."
"Let the two beloved ladies enter the palace immediately!"
Emperor Chu knew that Fang Xuanling and Liu Bowen would definitely enter the palace, so the two of them went to greet the envoys of the Wuling Empire. How could they gain nothing with their methods?
A little while.
Fang Xuanling and Liu Bowen entered the palace one after another. Emperor Chu was the first to speak, saying: "Two dear friends, can you tell me what the Wuling Empire's attitude towards me Chu is by going to the post house?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the envoys of the Wuling Empire were stubborn. When they learned that Your Majesty refused to summon them, they wanted to leave with congratulatory gifts. They claimed that His Majesty did not summon them because he was showing contempt for the Wuling Empire. They wanted to go to Longtang with the congratulatory gifts."
"However, the congratulatory gifts have already entered Chu, so there is no reason to bring them out of Chu State. The minister privately sent three generals, King Zhao of Xifu, Dian Wei and Luo Shixin, to go there. The congratulatory gifts were kept and the envoys left safely."
Liu Bowen glanced sideways at Fang Xuanling, a sonorous and powerful voice sounded, and Emperor Chu's light flashed, with a look of surprise on his face. He did not expect that the two of them would become so domineering.
"Haha, the two beauties are quite cunning, but they handled it perfectly at this time!"
"I'm very busy, so I don't have much time to meet them. The Wuling Empire has been surviving until now, and has been struggling to survive among other countries. Now it dares to show off its power in front of Wu Chu."
"Chaohe Longtang Empire, are you threatening me?"
Emperor Chu chuckled lightly, and was not surprised at all that Wu Ling Empire's envoys went to Long Tang. In the warm spring of March, they sent troops to defeat Wu Ling. Even if Wu Ling received the blessing of Long Tang, Chu State was not afraid.
"Your Majesty, if the Longtang Empire helps the Wuling Empire and March Chunnuan sends troops to attack, it will only cause a lot of trouble."
"Wei Chen thought that we should take them by surprise and attack them unprepared, so they immediately sent out troops and pointed their swords at the Wuling Empire without giving them any chance to breathe."
Liu Bowen spoke, his shrewd eyes flickering. Emperor Chu felt that what he said was reasonable, but there were only a few days before the New Year's Day, and he was not prepared to send troops there.
"Bowen, the Chinese New Year is approaching and the whole family is reunited. Don't rush for this moment and let the soldiers of the three armies enjoy the joy of reunion."
Of course Emperor Chu knew that the opportunities on the battlefield were changing rapidly, and that now might be an excellent opportunity to surprise the Wuling Empire, but he would rather give up such an opportunity to create a chance for the soldiers of the three armies to reunite.
The three armies fought for a year, and many people were buried in foreign lands. In the end, no bones were left. Their families had no chance to send them off for the last journey. Now was the rarest opportunity for the soldiers of the three armies. The Emperor of Chu did not want to deprive them of the happiness of reunion.
In the new year, the soldiers of the three armies are on the battlefield again, and a few of them will eventually return. This reunion may be their last.
"Xuanling, Bowen, please go down and rest early. The following New Year's Eve banquet will require your two dear friends to worry about it. As for the matter of the Wuling Empire, I have my own opinions."
Fang Xuanling and Liu Bowen were well aware of the cruelty of battles on the battlefield. Emperor Chu had good intentions and cared about the soldiers of the three armies. They said no more, raised their fists and saluted, excused themselves and left the imperial study.
After the two left, Emperor Chu ordered Xiao Guizi to order the Assassin Alliance to enter the palace the next day.
The Assassin's Alliance has been established for a long time. Apart from traveling to various countries to collect information, Emperor Chu has never asked them to perform tasks. Today, the Assassin's Alliance has matured and has long been able to complete tasks independently.
so.
Emperor Chu decided to let the Assassin Alliance sneak into the Wuling Empire to carry out assassinations. Once they completed their mission, the Wuling Empire would be leaderless and fall into chaos. The Chu State would send troops to defeat it easily and without any effort.
Xiao Guizi took the order and left, notifying the secret guards to look for traces of the Assassin Alliance and asking them to quickly return to the Beast Imperial City and enter the palace to meet the Saint.
Inside the royal study.
Only Emperor Chu was left, sitting in front of the wooden case, lost in thought. At the moment, he just hoped that nothing bad would happen before the New Year, and he could enjoy the joy of reunion with his beloved concubines.
However.
He couldn't even enjoy the short period of peace.,
Outside the imperial study, a black shadow appeared, like mist seeping in through the cracks in the palace door. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of Emperor Chu.
The visitor's black robe covered his body, so it was impossible to see clearly what he looked like. The cold air emanating from his body gave people an extremely powerful feeling of oppression. Emperor Chu felt a dangerous aura in him.
Huh~
A majestic and vast wave of true energy came, and a glass bottle was suspended in the air. A rich aroma filled the air. Emperor Chu was familiar with this smell.
He stared intently at the glass bottle in front of him. It was obviously the perfume rewarded by the system. He was the only one in the world who owned this thing. He only gave the perfume to the girls around him. The person who came actually owned the perfume, and an ominous feeling came over him.
"Emperor Chu, I believe that the thing in front of you is not unfamiliar to you. Maybe you cannot remember the owner of this object, but there is one thing that I believe Emperor Chu will never be unfamiliar with again."
Huh~
A long sword appeared and floated in front of Emperor Chu together with the perfume. For a moment, Emperor Chu's expression was extremely gloomy, cold and cold.
The long sword is Nangong Xi's sword. The visitor can take out two things belonging to Nangong Xi at the same time, which means that the three people Chu Emperor has been looking for are in the hands of the visitor. At least he knows Shangguan Bangning and Chu Chen.
The whereabouts of people.
Emperor Chu stood up with a flick of his sleeves, a strong murderous aura emanating from his deep eyes. His mind moved, and he quickly began to check the information about the person in his mind.
"The Temple of Death, the Saint Soldier's Punishment Bell, cultivated to the seventh level of the Martial Saint Realm!"
After checking, Emperor Chu learned that Xing Buzhong had access to the core secrets of the Temple of Death and was not a peripheral member. No wonder he could take out Nangong Xi's items.
"Emperor Chu, I am here tonight to inform you that in one month's time, we will see you at the Burning Soul Lingxiao Valley. If Emperor Chu cannot come, he will wait to collect the corpse of the owner of the long sword!"
"In the Temple of Death, you have kidnapped my beloved concubine and the emperor for one year. Not to mention the Burning Soul Lingxiao Valley, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will definitely show up. Then it will be your death."
Emperor Chu's sleeves fluttered, Long Yan was furious, his domineering voice spread, and his sharp eyes were like two unsheathed sharp knives, trying to penetrate Xing Buzhong's body. (To be continued)
