Chapter 382 The curtain rises
On the way back to the Tiandou Empire, Qian Renxue pretended to be angry and said, "If the Wuhun Palace really agreed to their ambitions, how are we different from their ministers?!"
Lu Yuan looked at Qian Renxue's appearance and thought, if only we were here, you might not have agreed directly.
Qian Renxue knew very well that if she agreed, it would probably be a situation where everyone would push her against the wall, not to mention that her promise did not count.
Even if it counts, the Qibao Glazed Sect and Lu Yuan, who were originally on her side, probably turned around and ran to support Xue Beng.
Even the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect, which has always maintained a neutral stance, will probably show its own attitude and support Xue Beng.
This is the difference in interests and positions.
Qian Renxue was a little helpless. She didn't know what Bibi Dong was thinking. Wasn't this setting her on fire?
In fact, she guessed correctly, Bibi Dong wanted to roast her on the fire.
The original text directly planned the soul hunting operation and forced her to use the palace to prevent her from completing the task so easily.
Of course, there are also reasons why Qian Renxue is impatient.
"Your Highness, Wuhun Palace will not give up so easily. I think we need to take more precautions when we return." Lu Yuan said.
"Is it possible that Wuhun Palace still dares to attack us?" Qian Renxue frowned and asked.
"You don't necessarily dare." Lu Yuan said calmly.
"How dare she?! Dare to risk the disapproval of the world and take action? That has never happened before!" Qian Renxue said angrily, pretending to be angry.
"Your Highness, you must be on guard against others, and it is best to take a complete strategy." Lu Yuan said.
"What Tianyinghou said is reasonable. If this is the case, I will report it to my father when I get back." Qian Renxue raised her hands to the sky and said.
"Your Highness, I went outside to be on guard. There was no danger when we came here, but this time when I go back I'm afraid that Wuhun Palace will be angry and ambush you halfway..." Lu Yuan finished the play with Qian Renxue and planned to go out.
"Then it's all thanks to Marquis Tianying." Qian Renxue said with a smile.
Lu Yuan cupped his hands and left the carriage directly.
…
Apparently, everyone in the Tiandou Empire was a lot more careful on the way back.
But nothing unexpected happened on the way home.
After another half month, they returned to Tiandou City.
As soon as they returned to Tiandou City, Qian Renxue and Lu Yuan went into the palace to report the meeting.
"What?!" Emperor Xueye was furious after hearing what happened.
"How dare the Wuhun Temple be so rude! It's simply too much!" he said angrily.
At this moment, the guard outside the temple shouted loudly, "Platinum Bishop Salas asks for an audience!"
Before Emperor Xueye allowed him to come in, Salas walked in with great arrogance.
The surrounding ministers and guards immediately glared at him, but Salas seemed not to notice and walked up to Emperor Xueye with his head held high.
"Bishop Salas, what brings you here?" Emperor Xueye could only suppress his anger and said coldly.
"I am here to follow His Majesty's order to announce something to His Majesty." Salas said calmly, holding his hands in the distance.
"From today on, Wuhun Palace will no longer interfere in matters between the two empires."
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and soon they understood what Salas meant.
Emperor Xueye slapped the handle on the throne, shocked and angry, "Isn't Wuhun Palace always maintaining a neutral attitude?!"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. Wuhun Palace just no longer interferes in the affairs between the two empires. It does not mean which empire is favored." Salas said lightly.
But even if he said this, everyone present here, including Lu Yuan and those close ministers, didn't know that Wuhun Palace was not biased, but was biased towards the Star Luo Empire.
Even the ministers of the Tiandou Empire had to admit that in terms of military strength, if the Titled Douluo and several major sects did not take action, the Tiandou Empire would be unable to fight back against the Star Luo Empire.
"So is Wuhun Palace threatening our Tiandou Empire?" Emperor Xueye took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
"As long as your majesty agrees to our request, everything will be fine." Salas said calmly, but he was thinking about other things.
"What's more, our Wuhun Palace's starting point is also good. For the sake of the millions of people on the mainland, what's the problem with controlling all forces?"
Emperor Xueye couldn't help but think deeply. Due to the pressure from the Star Luo Empire released by Wuhun Palace, he had to think about it carefully.
He has been in office for decades. More than ten years ago, there were still a lot of wars between the two empires.
Therefore, Emperor Xueye knew very well how strong the army of the Xingluo Empire, a country of tigers and wolves, was.
Although there are no titled Douluo in the Star Luo Empire, there are many arrogant soldiers and powerful generals under it, and there are even more than ten famous generals and commanders.
To put it harshly, in the Tiandou Empire, except for the famous general Ge Long, the nine-fate marshal, the other generals are nothing compared to the dozen or so famous generals in the Star Luo Empire.
Ranbir, the leader of the Royal Knights, and Marquis Xuanwu are old, and there seems to be no successor for the time being.
As for this generation of Liehuo Hou, their talents and qualifications are mediocre. Although Feng Wu Hou's ability is not inferior to that of the famous generals in the Star Luo Empire, there is only one Feng Wu Hou.
The Tiandou Empire is really at war with the Star Luo Empire, and Emperor Xue Ye thinks... that he is no match for the Star Luo Empire.
In addition, he is old and no longer as enterprising as he was when he was young. He only hopes that his empire will remain stable so that he can successfully hand over the Tiandou Empire to the next generation of rulers and continue to rule for tens of millions of years.
Therefore, at this time, sacrificing some interests in exchange for the stability and order of the empire does not seem to be an unacceptable thing for Emperor Xueye.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the hall, "Such a thing! Don't even think about it!"
Emperor Xue Ye, Salas and Qian Renxue suddenly turned their heads and looked at Lu Yuan who took a step forward and shouted loudly.
Lu Yuan took a step forward, "Your Majesty! You must not agree to this matter! If you agree to something that is insulting to the country's rights, how will thousands of people in the empire view this matter?! How can I, the Tiandou Empire, accept this from others?"
Driven by!”
A trace of anger flashed in Salas's eyes, and he looked at Lu Yuan, "Do you have the right to speak in this?!"
At the same time, Contra-level pressure pressed on Lu Yuan!
Lu Yuan's eyes sharpened, "The darkness within is more powerful than the darkness outside!"
The furious wind of chaos surrounded him, and then the Hell Blade appeared in Lu Yuan's hands after a long time.
The power of the Night Messenger directly broke through the pressure on Salas. Lu Yuan held the black long knife high in front of him, "I have been trained to serve the empire all my life, and now is the time to die generously for the empire!"
"
"Your Majesty!" He turned around and knelt down on one knee to Emperor Xue Ye, cupped his hands and said, "For the sake of the empire, for your majesty, I am willing to stand on the border with a sword. If the Star Luo Empire dares to invade, they will be defeated!
"
"If it fails, I am willing to die for my country!"
Lu Yuan's words directly moved the faces of the Heaven Dou Empire ministers and people present, and even Emperor Xue Ye's eyes seemed to be ignited with blazing flames.
"The words of Marquis Tianying are serious, why should this be so?" Emperor Xueye said with great emotion.
"As a general, you can only die on the battlefield and die for the country. Why should you return your body wrapped in horse leather?" Lu Yuan said solemnly, "It is an honor for a general to die on the battlefield. It is an even greater honor to sacrifice one's life for the country."
"Okay! Very good!" Emperor Xueye seemed to be really touched.
Lu Yuan, the future guardian elder of Qibao Glazed Sect, is so loyal, so why should he be worried or dissatisfied?
"Bishop Salas, you heard me." Emperor Xueye said boldly, feeling as if he had returned to a time when he was young and energetic.
"The answer from Tian Yinghou is the answer from Tian Dou Empire. You can go back." His originally cloudy eyes suddenly became clear at this moment.
"It is impossible for the Tiandou Empire to agree to such unreasonable demands, and it is not afraid of any threats!"
Emperor Xue Ye's domineering and firm answer made Salas's face turn livid. Without saying anything, he waved his embroidered robe and left here.
Emperor Xueye looked at Lu Yuan again at this time, "The loyalty of Tianyinghou is commendable. In this case, I can't be stingy with rewards."
"Reward 100,000 gold soul coins, exempt Tianying City from taxes for five years, and at the same time order the Minister of Finance to issue 500,000 catties of military pay for the Tianying Legion, 30,000 pieces of armor, 2,000 war horses, and 50,000 soldiers!
"
"At the same time, the tenth division of the Royal Knights will be under the independent control of Tianyinghou from today on!"
Obviously, this reward from Emperor Xue Ye is actually to help Lu Yuan build a steel soldier that can stand on the battlefield as soon as possible!
The exemption of taxes allows people in Tianying City who want to join the army to have no worries, and military pay, armor, war horses and long weapons are all the equipment of an iron army.
From today onwards, the tenth division of the Royal Knights will only take orders from Lu Yuan, which means that this elite division can even be counted as part of the Sky Shadow Army!
After Emperor Xueye saw Lu Yuan's "loyalty", it was naturally impossible for him to really let Lu Yuan "die for his country". He had to let Lu Yuan quickly raise a strong army!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Yuan said, cupping his hands.
…
And the other side of the continent.
Star Luo City, Star Luo Palace.
"Hahaha, okay!" The emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai's father, said with a smile. (I can't find Dai Mubai's father's name here, and I haven't found it in the anime either. Anyone knows?
