Chapter 1854: Chapter 1853: Noble Consort Lu, Three Days Later
“Doing this would put us at odds with the Heavenly Court,” King Qin’s gaze suddenly sharpened, carrying a sense of authority, as he spoke.
“Are you trying to divide our human race? What cri should that be?”
“Defy the Heavenly Court?
What, does your Great Qin still fear the Heavenly Court?” Xu Zii laughed nonchalantly.
“In this world, only interests are eternal.
Can’t King Qin see that?”
“Interests, what interests could the Monster Race bring ?” King Qin’s expression eased slightly as he asked.
“The benefits of the Monster Race are so vast that they are hard to detail.”
Xu Zii replied.
“First of all, the Monster Race’s resources, which the Qin Country can occupy.
It may even gain certain command rights.
If cooperation with the Monster Race is achieved, within a century, the strength of the Qin Country will surpass the Heavenly Court.”
“Moreover, the most important thing is that, with the Monster Race around, there is a buffer between Great Qin and the Heavenly Court.
Otherwise, when two giants have no enemies left, it will be the ti for your two races to vie for dominance.
Does King Qin want to see that scene?”
“Besides, I would like to ask, between Great Qin and the Heavenly Court, which is stronger and which is weaker?”
“I am not one to belittle myself, but indeed, the Heavenly Court is stronger than Great Qin,” King Qin nodded and said.
“The Heavenly Court was established long ago, already enfeoffing the gods and unifying the heavenly realm.
Though there have been upheavals in recent years due to changes in the Jade Emperor’s position, there is no major issue in general.”
“And my Great Qin was just a small country at the ti.
It took five generations of my ancestors, over a millennium, to unify Great Qin.
Achieving today’s flourishing era.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zii smiled a little.
“The result is very clear; I believe King Qin will cooperate, won’t he?”
Xu Zii thought he was quite a good persuader.
If it were other mbers of the Monster Race, not to ntion whether they could reach an agreent, they would probably be too scared to speak.
Furthermore, Xu Zii believed that this negotiation would not fail at all.
Because the Qin Country also needed an opportunity for a buffer.
After successive wars, the people were exhausted, and the nation was weakened.
The military commanders of Great Qin wished for military achievents, but the civil officials had long been weary of war.
But all of this depended on King Qin.
“I need to consider this matter,” King Qin did not provide a definite answer.
Instead, he said: “Three days, I will give you an answer in three days.”
“Coincidentally, I will be wandering around Chang’an for three days,” Xu Zii said.
At that mont, a eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside the Jinluan Hall.
He whispered a few words next to King Qin.
King Qin smiled and replied, “Concubine Lu is quite selfless.”
“Bring them up.”
“Summon Our Lady to the hall.”
The words of the eunuch and guards passed down in layers.
Before long, a woman dressed in sumptuous robes and wearing a phoenix crown entered.
Her aura was extraordinary.
Behind her followed several guards.
These guards were dressed in gold robes, escorting two people as they slowly entered.
It should be known that gold was for the exclusive use of the Royal Family.
Ordinary soldiers do not have the privilege of wearing gold garnts.
But upon seeing the lion emblem on the front of these guards, everyone fell silent.
“The Golden Lion Legion,” these are the most elite soldiers of Great Qin.
There are only a thousand mbers.
They never expand their army.
Whenever soone dies in battle, only the few most elite individuals among a million troops are selected to join.
The Golden Lion Legion only obeys the orders of King Qin, not even mbers of the Imperial Household can command them.
As for the two people being held, they were naturally Lu Yueqing and the Wronged Soul.
The two of them saw Xu Zii.
Lu Yueqing lowered her head, heartbroken, as if she had lost all hope.
The Wronged Soul gave Xu Zii an awkward smile.
He had been sent to protect Lu Yueqing, but unfortunately, the people of the Imperial Household were too strong.
Dozens of Golden Lion Legion mbers worked together to capture him.
“Who are the people below?” King Qin asked.
Lu Yueqing remained silent.
The Wronged Soul instead said obsequiously: “Your Majesty, I am your subject.”
“On my Great Qin territory, where did a Wronged Soul subject co from?” King Qin retorted.
“The Wronged Soul of Thunder Duke Ridge, my consciousness is ford from.
It’s the consciousness of your subjects,” the Wronged Soul hurriedly explained.
Why would such a thing as a Wronged Soul appear?
Actually, it’s not complicated.
Both the Monster Race and the human race have grievances and discontent, and when they die with too much weight, this kind of thing appears.
And this Wronged Soul is actually ford from the grievance of all who died in battle from both the Monster Race and the human race.
“Sothing like you, neither human nor monster, should have been suppressed earlier.”
King Qin said coldly.
“I do not wish to cause more slaughter, so I only let Thunder Duke suppress you; how did you escape?”
“Thunder Duke was killed by him,” Xu Zii interjected to stir the pot.
The Wronged Soul was stunned.
He quickly looked at Xu Zii, but seeing the warning in the latter’s gaze, he ultimately remained silent.
“I am really wronged.”
“Alright, they are with , so I naturally need to take them away,” Xu Zii said.
“This is the Imperial City of Chang’an, do you think you can leave whenever you want?” General Cheng, who could not stand aside any longer, snorted coldly.
“You want to stop ?” Xu Zii retorted.
General Cheng snorted heavily.
However, recalling how Xu Zii had effortlessly twisted his arm just now, it was clear he wasn’t easy to bully.
“These two were captured by Noble Consort Lu, naturally her opinion should be asked on everything,” King Qin raised his head, looking at the woman beside him.
Noble Consort Lu was Our Lady.
It was said she was just a common woman a long ti ago and later entered the palace to suppress the Crown Prince’s Body of Misfortune.
Later, no one knew what happened, and she married King Qin, becoming a Noble Consort.
She was exceedingly honorable.
Our Lady’s expression was calm as she said, “Everything listens to His Majesty, whether these two are to stay or die, I have no opinion.”
“In that case, you can take them away,” King Qin looked at Xu Zii.
He said, “This is also the sincerity of my Great Qin.”
King Qin waved his hand broadly, saying: “Where is General Xu?”
From the ranks of military commanders, a man with leopard head and ringed eyes, of robust build, stepped forward.
Though the man’s physique was rough, his deanor was refined, sowhat scholarly.
And this feeling did not seem odd.
As if the man was ant to be like this.
“Subordinate Xu Kui at your command.”
“I entrust you with these three.
It concerns the big matters between us and the Monster Race, so do not be negligent,” only King Qin was heard instructing.
“Yes,” Xu Kui responded.
……
Then, Xu Kui led Xu Zii and the others out of Jinluan Hall.
After all, King Qin had other matters to discuss, and naturally, Xu Zii and the others were inconvenient.
After stepping out of Jinluan Hall, the Wronged Soul finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“That scared to death, I thought I was going to die just now.”
“Is she alright?” Xu Zii pointed at Lu Yueqing, asking.
From the beginning, Lu Yueqing had gazed vacantly, seemingly soulless in appearance.
