Chapter 205: Even the evil god is not worthy of my surrender, let alone you (Subscribe)
"Lord Longcheng, are you serious?"
Di Guangzhu was shocked when he heard this and almost gave up hope of achieving the plan.
All the calculations of the East Sea Palace are based on the magic weapon [Great Light Lamp].
The palace has magical weapons and strong men at the peak of the Yuanling realm. Even if they meet a Yuanshen master, they can fight for three rounds.
It would be very difficult for Chu Wujiang to fight against the mermaids without magic weapons and corresponding spiritual things.
Chu Wujiang said calmly:
"There is no need for me to lie."
Although it was a lie, he was buying, not borrowing.
But Di Guangzhu is not Chu Wujiang's son, so there is no need to explain everything to him.
“What’s more, the Chu family still has the Dragon and Tiger Order in hand. Even if we can’t invite a Yuanshen Zhenren, we can still do it by inviting a few Yuanling masters.”
"As for the Buddhist and Confucian sects, we can use some personal connections to transfer some more people over to make up for the shortfall."
Di Guangzhu couldn't help but fall silent.
When they first met, the head of the Chu family, who had to be cautious and rely on his noble status and the Huo family to defend himself, had already become a giant in Longzhou.
If I don't rely on my father, I can only sigh in despair.
Emperor Guangzhu explained:
"Lord Longcheng, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."
"Besides, the favors from the three major sects are not so easy to repay."
"You can handle it this time, but what about the next time, and the next time?"
"As long as the sea fog remains, the demons will return again and again."
"I am not afraid to tell Lord Longcheng that the fortune tellers in the palace have observed the celestial phenomena and found that the mermaid clan has produced an unparalleled genius, and there is more than one."
“You should understand the risks!”
The Demon-Suppressing Tower on Yanbo Island collapsed, and the demons took the opportunity to escape. After being suppressed for thousands of years, they immediately merged into the bodies of the mermaids.
Chu Wujiang only absorbed a part of it, maybe less than one third. With the remaining luck, plus the fact that the mermaid clan was already in a period of development opportunities, it was natural for an unparalleled genius to be born.
That's why Di Guangzhu wanted to use this warning.
[Since you know that the mermaids are reaching their peak, why don't you unite? ]
[The status of the Donghai Palace is high enough, it’s time to consider the overall situation. 】
[As a result, you usually talk about the overall situation every day, but when the enemy comes, you pay more attention to your own interests than anyone else, right? 】
【How ridiculous.】
Chu Wujiang sneered in his heart, and then said:
"The mermaid clan has peerless geniuses. At most, there are two or three?"
"The human race occupies hundreds of states in the world. There are not only peerless geniuses, but also natural saints and sons of destiny."
"If it comes, I will fight on behalf of the human race and kill it cleanly and neatly."
"But you want me to surrender. That is absolutely impossible."
"I would rather pay a greater price and ask the Buddhists, Taoists, and Confucians for help than kneel down."
"Does your Highness understand?"
Emperor Guangzhu took a step back, secretly groaning in his heart.
【I know. 】
[You have a rebellious nature. If the world is in chaos, if you don't eat the Nine Cauldrons, you will be cooked by the Nine Cauldrons.]
[Such a rebellious person would rather die standing than live on his knees. ]
Di Guangzhu gritted his teeth. The last time they met, he felt that the other party's power was gradually taking shape. This time, his father's secret threats and attempts to win him over were ultimately a failure.
Chu Wujiang saw that Emperor Guangzhu was retreating, so he pressed on further:
"The evil god cannot make me bow, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect cannot scare me, and the Duke of Zhenguo cannot make me surrender."
"Now that the King of the East Sea wants to have his own way, then come on."
"I accept all of them."
Chu Wujiang found that he was still too polite.
The conditions offered by the King of East Sea are worse than those offered by the Duke of Zhenguo. He still wants him to surrender. It’s simply a dream.
We cannot let the King of the East China Sea and others mistake our tolerance for indulgence.
When it's time to fight back, you have to fight back.
"Your Highness is right. If we are not friends, we will be enemies."
"This Marquis does not wish to be an enemy of the Donghai Palace, so the deal for the Tianxin Grass is still valid."
Chu Wujiang did not say anything final, and was willing to leave some room for the East Sea Palace to think about it.
"Whether they are enemies or friends is up to the palace to decide."
"If the palace is willing to send troops to help in this war against the mermaids, I will treat the palace as a friend and we will all benefit equally."
"I can also share a share of the mermaid's spoils."
"If the palace makes excuses and refuses to send troops to help in this war against the mermaids, I will report this to the court and make a report to the palace!"
Seek peace in struggle, and peace will prevail.
Chu Wujiang naturally didn't want to provoke a powerful enemy before the war, but he also didn't quite believe that the King of the East China Sea would be crazy enough to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack when the mermaids attacked.
Then draw the line.
You can choose your friends and enemies. I don't want to be a subordinate, but I can be an ally.
Originally, Di Guangzhu was going to draw the line for Chu Wujiang, but it turned out that Chu Wujiang drew the line for him instead.
Cold sweat broke out on Di Guangzhu's forehead.
Ever since the Chu family came into possession of the magic weapon, it has become impossible for them to truly obey the East Sea Palace.
He did not report the King of Donghai for winning over nobles and controlling military power, which showed that he was very ethical.
[We can’t retreat any further. If we do, we’ll have nothing.]
Emperor Guangzhu was able to enter the Hidden Dragon List, and he was not scared. He immediately added:
"Lord Longcheng, why do you have to do this?"
"Why would the palace be unwilling to resist the mermaids?"
"My father sent me here to discuss the matter of Tianxin Grass. He also wants to discuss with Lord Longcheng the countermeasures to defend against the mermaids and serve under the Coastal Defense Force."
"When the mermaids attack, we will definitely send some people to help you, sir!"
Di Guangzhu absolutely could not say that they did not want to protect Longzhou and would sit back and watch their friendly forces in trouble without moving a muscle.
From a political perspective, Emperor Hao enfeoffed hundreds of kings, and the kings in various places all had military obligations. For example, the King of Qin was stationed in the north to fight against the evil god's court.
Therefore, the King of Donghai would not make a political mistake and allow Chu Wujiang to take advantage of the situation.
[So that's what they were planning.]
[The King of Donghai placed his son under the command of the Coastal Defense Army, thus proving that the royal palace participated in the battle.]
[When the time comes, we can send some crooked melons and cracked dates to convince everyone. ]
Chu Wujiang understood the King of Donghai's plan, smiled and said:
"part?"
Di Guangzhu held Chu Wujiang's gaze and nodded:
"Yes."
"After all, the mermaids are attacking, and the palace has a heavy responsibility to protect Taodu. There are also the remains of Emperor Wu on Mount Mang, and that flying yaksha."
"The palace may not be able to do it. Everything happens for a reason."
Chu Wujiang nodded:
"so be it."
What does this mean?
Di Guangzhu's forehead broke out in cold sweat again, and he quickly asked:
"What does Lord Longcheng mean?"
Chu Wujiang said slowly:
"The Coastal Defense Force cannot accept the support of His Royal Highness. Please tell His Royal Highness the prince."
"Either be a friend or an enemy."
"Sitting on the fence is not allowed on the battlefield. I don't want to face this problem on the battlefield again."
Oops, that went wrong.
When Di Guangzhu thought about going back to face his father, he couldn't help but tremble.
No, I can’t fall here and go back to face my father.
The King of Donghai had many ways to punish his son. The most common one was to lock him in a completely dark secret room, seal his Yuandan, and let him experience the heaviest darkness.
Emperor Guangzhu has both light and candle, but he is a person who is most afraid of the dark.
He came and shouted:
"Lord Longcheng, wait a minute!"
"The little prince is also a warrior, you can't abandon him."
Di Guangzhu found it ridiculous. He was the prince of Donghai, but now he had to beg for a job under Chu Wujiang.
Who would believe this?
But the world is so strange, Chu Wujiang wants the East Sea Palace to make a choice.
"Why can't I give it up?"
Emperor Guangzhu gritted his teeth and said:
"According to the military law of our dynasty, any noble military man who is dissatisfied with his military duties can challenge the commander and others."
“If Lord Longcheng doesn’t want it, I will have to offend him.”
"Seek a position!"
Originally, the imperial court had made this regulation in order to encourage warriors to practice martial arts and prevent commanders from being lazy and incompetent.
Martial arts decides everything. If you can’t win, just change someone else.
Normally no one is that stupid, and this rule has not been in effect for a long time.
I didn't expect that Di Guangzhu even knew this.
Chu Wujiang said in disbelief:
"You want to challenge me?"
Emperor Guangzhu said in a deep voice:
"My young prince had no choice. I hope Lord Longcheng will understand."
Chu Wujiang nodded and said:
"Then come on."
The number one genius of Longzhou's generation, a prodigy on the Hidden Dragon List, the young talent Di Guangzhu, and the powerful rising Chu Wujiang, who is comparable to the peerless prodigy.
This was the first time the two really fought each other.
The reason is ridiculous.
