Special War God

Chapter 271: Jidu's Visit

Tang Huaigang left, but Qu Tongtian stopped and seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Xia Zhongnan asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else, Prime Minister Qu?"

Qu Tongtian reported: "Reporting to the king, Mizhou Mu Lu Chengyan, Jiuzhou Mu Shu Lingbin, Shazhou Mu Nie Jinming, Rongzhou Mu Fang Minghan, Xinzhou Mu Luo Ziye, Juzhou Mu Shen Xianhua, and Luzhou Mu Jin Yaoqin are requesting an audience outside the palace!"

Xia Zhongnan responded: "I'm not in the mood to see them today, let them wait!"

Qu Tongtian had no choice but to sigh and retreat.

When Great Xia was founded and Xia Zhongnan ascended the throne, a total of fifteen governors were unable to attend.

Eight of them were replaced by Xia Zhongnan with people he trusted...

The eight lords who were stripped of their official positions all had rebellious intentions, and some of them even secretly colluded with foreign forces. Warriors such as Zhao Delin and Zuoqiu Juemin brought their divine beasts and eradicated the eight traitors in one fell swoop.

No matter what the reason, Xia Zhongnan had no good feelings towards the remaining seven lords.

How could Xia Zhongnan let go of those who dared to despise the authority of the new king? Otherwise, where would the dignity of the kingship be?

The seven lords who were unable to arrive on the day of Xia Zhongnan's coronation ceremony were now filled with anxiety. Before this, they had more or less heard the news that the Three Kingdoms Alliance was preparing to send troops.

They did not report the intelligence immediately, but chose to wait and see whether the newly established Great Xia Dynasty was vulnerable. If Great Xia was easily defeated, they might choose to switch sides and join the enemy camp to fight against Great Xia. Even if Great Xia could withstand the joint attack of the three countries, it would be seriously damaged, and then they could take the opportunity to raise the conditions in exchange for more benefits.

However, the development of the situation was beyond their expectations. Daxia defeated the coalition forces of the three countries in just one day, and at the same time eliminated the eight lords who had disloyalty, and new lords immediately took over their positions.

How could the seven of them feel at ease after learning about this? They immediately rushed to the capital of Xia and tried their best to find Qu Tongtian, asking him to plead with Xia Zhongnan, hoping to have a chance to meet the new king to make up for their previous mistakes.

Qu Tongtian agreed to mention this matter to Xia Zhongnan for them because of their long-term friendship. However, Xia Zhongnan did not respond.

After the meeting, the seven lords had a bad feeling, but they still stepped forward to ask Qu Tongtian: "Sir Qu, is the king willing to summon us?"

Qu Tongtian shook his head and said, "The king said he has no intention of seeing you today, so you should wait patiently!"

Mizhou Lord Lu Chengyan asked, "Lord Qu, do you think the king will forgive us?"

Qu Tongtian replied: "It is hard to predict. Our new king is extraordinary and unfathomable, and it is difficult to understand with common sense. There are many things that I still cannot understand. But today there is a new turn of events, which may be good news for you."

The seven people's eyes lit up and they asked quickly, "What good news?"

Qu Tongtian replied: "The king sent letters to Feng, Ji and Bi respectively, demanding compensation for the cession of five states due to the invasion of Daxia. Now Feng has agreed to pay the compensation, and the king ordered me and Lord Tang to discuss the candidates for five new lords. Together with the eight lords newly appointed by the king, Daxia will have fifteen new lords in the short term. Perhaps the king will let you go for this reason. That's all I have to say. I have something else to do, so I can't talk any more!"

After Qu Tongtian left, the seven people looked at each other, knowing what they were feeling. The news that Qu Tongtian revealed at the end did not bring them any surprises, but instead brought them more shock. The new king asked for five states of land from another country with just a letter from the country. How courageous was this?

They once dreamed of using the imperial court to gain benefits, but now it seems that their plan was extremely foolish!

Nie Jinming, Lord of Shazhou, suggested: "The king was born in the Wentian Palace in Xiuzhou. Liu Dabazi, Lord of Xiuzhou, must have a close relationship with the king. Why don't we go find Lord Liu and ask him to intercede for us!"

Jin Yaoqin of Luzhou stroked the Lingxianqin leisurely and said, "It's wonderful! I brought a thousand-year-old snow ganoderma grass with me, and now I will give it to the great sage Liu. You can also think about what precious things can impress him!"

Everyone showed off the fantastic treasures they had prepared in advance.

Everyone came well prepared, having already emptied out all the secret treasures of Luzhou Prefecture, and rushed to the summer capital with many wonderful things, just to deal with the changes before them.

If Qu Tongtian had not benefited from it, how could he speak up for them!

After the Xia Dynasty meeting ended, Xia Zhongnan quietly arrived in Yanzhou.

Gu Xiuzhan was leading the strange beasts to hide in the mysterious mountains of Panlong Ridge in Yanzhou.

After defeating the coalition forces of the three kingdoms, the strange beast did not rest at ease, but waited for Xia Zhongnan's next instruction.

Only two days passed, and on the third day Xia Zhongnan showed up in person.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu Zhang bowed and said, "Brother Fei, congratulations on becoming the ruler of Da Xia!"

Xia Zhongnan responded: "Very good! Can the strange beasts behave themselves?"

Gu Xiuzhang replied: "Everything is going well. I have divided the beasts into ten teams and appointed Yinglong, Xiangliu, Suanni and others as the leaders of each team. They are in charge of the operations and are making good progress."

Xia Zhongnan asked again: "Xiu Zhang, are you really unwilling to sit on the throne of the governor?"

Gu Xiu Zhang said: "Brother Fei has become the master of Da Xia, so it is not appropriate for him to take on the position of the head of Wentian Palace. Let me take charge."

Xia Zhongnan smiled and said, "Okay, then I will pass the position of the head of Wentian Palace to you!"

Wentian Fairy Palace was a sect founded by Xia Zhongnan himself. Its core members all came from the original Thirteen Armies. He had deep affection for the sect, and it was appropriate for him to pass the throne to Gu Xiuzhan.

Gu Xiu Zhang said: "Brother Fei, you came here in person, are you planning another major action?"

Xia Zhongnan said: "I sent three envoys to Feng, Ji and Bi, asking them to cede five states to compensate for the war damage caused by the invasion of Daxia. Feng agreed, but Lord Yuwen Tuo not only refused, but also attacked my envoys. Bi also disobeyed. This time, I will help you regain your dignity."

Under the leadership of Xia Zhongnan, a huge virtual realm combat force headed straight for Jidu.

They were as fast as lightning, and even if the Void Realm practitioners of Ji Country noticed them, they would not be able to pass on the message in time.

Yuwen Tuo, who was meditating in the palace, suddenly felt a strong pressure. There was a loud "bang" and more than half of the front half of the palace was destroyed.

Yuwen Tuo soared into the sky and saw dozens of Void Realm practitioners scattered over Jidu in a strange formation, and in front of him was a young Void Realm practitioner.

Faced with this scene, he was shocked and asked sternly: "Who are you? How dare you invade Jidu and blow up the palace!"

Xia Zhongnan said coldly: "Lord of Great Xia, Xia Zhongnan!"

Yuwen Tuo responded: "Lord of the Great Xia Kingdom? How dare you set foot in my Jidu in person..."

Xia Zhongnan waved the Flame Frost Holy Spear and said sternly: "To treat each other with courtesy is to show the style of Great Xia. Your Ji country has repeatedly provoked me, and I came here in person today to see how much trouble you, the king, can stir up."

Before he finished speaking, dark clouds and mist came in from all directions, quickly covering the entire Jidu, like a mysterious barrier, guarding this land.
