Spirit Emperor - C71
“Junior Sister, let’s just forget about it. How high can a person who doesn’t even think much of a sword be? I don’t want people to say that I bullied him. ” Zhou Mingshan ridiculed.
“Lee Xun, if I help you find a treasure sword, would you like to compete with him?” Shang Rongrong naturally wanted to use this opportunity to throw off this Zhou Mingshan fly.
Lee Xun thought for a bit. Not good, this girl could be thinking of lending him her clan’s “Heaven”. Are you really willing to be treated as a prize? ” Lee Xun didn’t have any other choice. He could only provoke Shang Rongrong a little more with all her heart.
“You?” Shang Rongrong was so angry that her face was flushed red, she immediately turned and left, Lee Xun’s words were indeed hurtful.
Zhou Mingshan looked at Lee Xun in ridicule and chased after him.
Lee Xun shook his head, thinking: Don’t blame me, you forced me to do this. Lee Xun did not like the atmosphere of the banquet. Although it was lively, it did not suit him.
Not long later, Hu Jing came over. Xun, what happened? I saw Rongrong angrily walking away with a man following behind her, do you recognize him? ”
“Imperial Mother, there’s nothing wrong. As you know, I didn’t really want to get married like that, so I deliberately angered her. That man is her senior brother, and is also the profound grandson of the Dongting Sword Sect Sect Leader. ”
“Rongrong, this girl is getting more and more beautiful. Are you really not tempted by her at all?” When Hu Jing said this, he couldn’t help but think of Qin Qing. What kind of woman could make him, her son, so dead set on her?
“Mother, to be honest, I don’t really like Shang Rongrong’s personality, and this isn’t the first time I meet her. It’s not that she has a lot of capriciousness, it’s just that she doesn’t suit me. Is there any way for the Shang family to break off the engagement themselves? ”
“Your royal father and I have never thought of that. Old General Shang has taken a liking to this marriage. He has always felt guilty towards our family, so he wants to use this method to make up for it. It was impossible to get him to break off the engagement. You should understand that your royal father does not wish to offend the Shang family at this time. ”
“Imperial Mother, I understand. Rest assured, even if my Pineflower Country does not overcome the obstacle, I will make things difficult for royal father.”
“Good child, I originally thought that I would arrange a good marriage for you, but I made things difficult for you.” Hu Jing felt her heart ache.
Lee Xun and Hu Jing returned to the banquet hall. Currently, there were a lot of entertainment items in the hall, there were palace maids singing and dancing, musicians playing music, and even some impromptu competitions like throwing coins into a pot.
Seeing Lee Xun had returned, Lee Zhi couldn’t help but to get tired from introducing the important people of the country, the other important members of the royal family and some of the representatives of the wealthy families to Lee Xun. In the end, Lee Xun met the representatives of the Alliance of Five diplomatic mission. Five old fellows didn’t have much strength, but Lee Xun believed that these five old fellows would definitely not spit blood.
The banquet finally ended in a warm atmosphere. Actually, this was more like a declaration of war, because everyone could hear Lee Zhi’s determination from the title of “Southern Monarch”. His Alliance of Five was located to the south. Actually, in terms of wealth, the Alliance of Five far exceeded the Pineflower Country by a lot, but it wasn’t like he didn’t care about the Pineflower Country at all, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to negotiate with them. Although both sides knew that the following negotiations were only a formality, they still had to be discussed, as both sides needed time to prepare for the war.
“Xun, you must be tired, drink some tea to dissolve the wine.” At this moment, the family of four sat together with excitement written all over their faces. Today, they had officially announced the members of this family.
“Father, look at this.” Lee Xun handed the letter over to Lee Zhi.
Lee Zhi received the letter, and the more he read, the more excited he became. Xun, was it someone from the Jin Family who gave it to you? ”
“Yes, Jin Family Patriarch Jin Xingtian personally handed it to me.”
“Do you think Jin Family can be trusted? Could it be a trap? They definitely will not put down such a huge sum of money for no reason at all. ”
“Father, people from the Jin Family can believe it. The mastermind behind the Alliance of Five was also the opponent of the Jin Family. They wanted to annex the Jin Family, so the Jin Family naturally wasn’t willing to wait helplessly for death. And one more thing, it’s because my master seems to have done something to the Jin Family. You must have known about the Tianshan Sword Sect injuring the Southern Sword Sect Alliance. Although I wasn’t there at the time, I know that it was mostly due to my master, and not a single person was harmed by Tianshan Sword Sect at that time. So, half of their Jin Family is trying to owe my master a favor, and they can think of the consequences of offending my master, so they definitely won’t dare to come and lie to us, unless they themselves are deceived. ”
“A lot of the information mentioned in this report is indeed true. Xun, is your master really that powerful? ”
“Royal father, I can’t say how powerful my master’s deterrence level is, but controlling the Jin Family shouldn’t be a problem. However, in a country battle, he won’t be able to help.” Lee Xun naturally did not want to involve the old man in this, at most, he could borrow his name.
“Haha, good. Actually, Alliance of Five is not scary at all. Royal Father was worried that there would be internal chaos and the Jin Family have always been at odds with our royal family. The second thing I’m worried about are the surrounding countries, if we lose in battle, they will definitely attack my Pineflower Country together. But with this information, we can gain the upper hand and not only intimidate those fence-sitters, we can also gain more time. This won’t do, I need to gather the few generals to immediately investigate this intelligence report. Xun, Ting Er, stay behind and accompany your mother. Lee Zhi was indeed an enlightened king.
Lee Xun and Lee Ting accompanied Hu Jing and chatted with him until deep into the night, thus they stayed at the palace for the night. The next day, Lee Zhi assigned work to his two sons. Lee Xun was in charge of challenging the arena, all for the sake of raising the morale of the citizens and the army. Lee Ting was in charge of handling the representatives of the envoys.
Because the negotiations had almost broken down, the battle on the arena had become heated. The players from both sides had already reached the eighth step. Lee Xun had asked Lu Tuan and the others to watch the match and to make their move when necessary, while he had brought the remaining people to train with the sword, so that he would not be able to fully unleash his own strength, and would not be able to control the power of the Sword of the Sword Spirit King.
“First Prince, Old General Shang Loong has sent someone to deliver an invitation.”
Lee Xun unwillingly opened up the invitation, this Shang Loong was truly special, he did not invite him to be a guest at the Shang Clan, but instead went to visit.
They arrived at the Eastern City Army Camp and showed their invitation cards. An officer brought Lee Xun to a square sand field of about one square kilometer, and left. There was only one person on the battlefield, it was the old General Shang Loong, a Seven Colored Soul Sword. Lee Xun’s eyes were sharp and sharp now, he could see that Shang Loong’s sword techniques had already become a system, and could be called a sword technique. It was not a normal sword move, but a far cry from the old man’s and Baili Feng’s.
He walked towards Shang Loong, and Shang Loong also noticed Lee Xun, and stopped.
