Zhenbeiguan.

Huo Changge sat alone on the hilltop in a daze. This familiar hilltop had been beaten beyond recognition in today's battle. He couldn't find another blade of grass to hold in his mouth.

The war was temporarily stopped. Jing Guo did not want to fight at night to avoid giving Wu Guo a chance. They began to retreat in the evening, which also made the defenders of Zhenbeiguan heave a sigh of relief.

Huo Changge has lost count of how many times he has turned on Time Zero today. He has never used Time Zero so many times in a day. He also has to pay a price for overloading Time Zero.

I found out after I vomited a large mouthful of blood in the evening.

Jingguo lost two powerful people with magical powers today, while Wu Guo lost three people, and two more powerful people with magical powers were seriously injured when they were besieged.

It was too difficult to fight. The high-end combat power that Wu State put into this war was far inferior to that of Jing State. Even with the back of checkpoints and natural dangers, and the entrenched formations, they were still at an absolute disadvantage.

Huo Changge was reluctant to go down the mountain. As long as he got close to the military camp, he would hear crying and wailing. He would not think so much when killing people on the battlefield. After the battle, he would subconsciously want to stay away from these war zones.

The pain comes.

Lao Jiang and Li Qian were also slightly injured today. Two supernatural beings were able to hold back an extraordinary supreme being for an entire afternoon and only suffered a few injuries. This was already very impressive.

He received WeChat messages from many people in Utopia today, praising him for how awesome he was today, his magical power, and his first kill on the battlefield. He casually replied to a few hahaha, and then clicked on WeChat to chat with Lu Chuan.

interface.

Lu Chuan's last message was still "Pay attention to safety and protect yourself" sent at noon.

Damn it, no matter where this guy went, he didn't reply to any news.

The chat interface is full of messages sent by Huo Changge to Lu Chuan, from the first one, "Hahaha, brother killed a magical power today, isn't it awesome?", to the latest one, "????Reply!"

Huo Changge looked up to the south in the direction of Beining City. It was dark in the city and he didn't know what was going on. It was already night, but there were no lights.

Nothing will happen...

...

Luo Dingguo stood at the entrance of the Wu Kingdom Palace and looked at the magical building in front of him.

Any practitioner who comes to the gate of this palace will be shocked by the aura of the Wu Kingdom. Every brick in this palace is cut from large pieces of primeval stone into the shape of bricks, and is built piece by piece to form the palace.

wall.

There are actually people who would directly use the Yuan Stone mine to build a palace, and then they are afraid that someone will come to steal the Yuan Qi, so they arrange a large number of guards and formations around the palace walls.

Isn't this a disease?

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please come into the palace to speak." A powerful man with supernatural power came out of the palace with a respectful attitude.

Luo Dingguo nodded and followed this powerful man into the palace gate.

He had a lot of doubts in his heart. This kind of formal meeting with envoys usually took place at the court meeting the next day, but Emperor Wu was obviously a little anxious. When he learned that Luo Dingguo had arrived in the imperial capital, he immediately invited him into the palace for an interview.

The interior of the palace was still luxurious. Luo Dingguo crossed a Yuanshi Bridge and reached the square of the palace city.

On both sides of the central road in the square, there are two rows of pillars made of Yuanshi. There are 18 pillars in total. Each pillar is 33 meters high. The pillars are engraved with words boasting about the military exploits of the Wu Kingdom.

After walking through the square, there is the Stairway to the Sky. There are 99 steps in total, all of which are made from Yuanshi mine. This is not a step, it is clearly a mine.

Luo Dingguo became more and more cautious, fearing that someone would accidentally trample on him and cause trouble to him. He really couldn't afford to pay for it.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Wu State, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of Utopia." Luo Dingguo walked into the main hall. Emperor Wu Yue of Wu State did not sit on his throne, but stood not far from the door waiting for him to come in.

"Wu Guo also welcomes Mr. Luo's arrival, and also asks Mr. Luo to say hello to my old friends in Utopia on his behalf when he returns."

Wu Yue's attitude was surprisingly friendly, which surprised Luo Dingguo. Before coming, the minister told him that Emperor Wu was one of the most difficult people to deal with in the world, and asked him to deal with it carefully.

"I am anxious to invite Mr. Luo here this time. There is indeed a very important matter, so there will be no more pleasantries." Wu Yue looked at Luo Dingguo with a smile, "Your leader said a word to me a long time ago, which is 'seeking common ground while reserving differences'"

, I have also been deeply touched by it in the past few years.

Although there have always been conflicts between Wu Guo and Utopia, and there have been many conflicts and wars between the two countries, and I still cannot understand why Utopia pursues equality between practitioners and ordinary people.

But it doesn't matter. I don't understand the idea of ​​seeking common ground while reserving differences, but I am willing to respect your ideas.

Therefore, Mr. Luo is invited here this time because Wu Guo wants to discuss with Utopia whether our two countries can abandon their past prejudices, reconcile, and officially launch official and private trade?"

Pie in the sky.

This was Luo Dingguo's immediate reaction. The diplomacy between the two countries was rarely a joke. Emperor Wu actually wanted to make peace with Utopia. Is this a dream?

Utopia was originally an organization that established itself on the western border of the Wu Kingdom. It has always had a hostile relationship with the Wu Kingdom since the founding of the country. After the difficult war at the beginning of the founding of the country, the two countries continued to have frictions in the following ten years.

Of course Utopia wants peace. Whether it is peace or trade with Wu State, it is great news for Utopia.

The Kingdom of Wu is recognized as a powerful country in the world. It has the largest territory, the largest population and practitioners in the world. At the same time, it is based on military force. The surname Wu is both the name of the country and the surname of the country.

In the past ten years, the Wu Kingdom has almost never stopped fighting for a moment, and the current emperor of the Wu Kingdom, Wu Yue, is famous for his iron-blooded toughness.

The north resists the powerful scenery, the west fights against Utopia, and the south suppresses the sea monsters. The alliance of coastal countries in the east can only survive by uniting under the military front of the Wu Kingdom. The Wu Kingdom never gives in at all, and only fights bloody to the end.

Although successive years of war and internal problems have indeed made the country appear to be facing many difficulties in recent years, and it seems somewhat powerless to face Jingguo's invasion this time, Wuguo is still the most tyrannical country in the world.

How could such a tyrannical country and a tyrannical emperor take the initiative to propose peace to Utopia?

Luo Dingguo kept guessing Emperor Wu's intentions in his heart, but without any hesitation on his face, he replied with a smile on his face:

"As you said, this is indeed a very important thing. Peace has always been one of our aspirations in building a utopia. Thank you very much for your enlightenment and understanding.

This matter is of great importance, I will bring your thoughts back to Utopia as soon as possible, and Utopia will give you a reply as soon as possible."

Wu Yue naturally knew that such a matter was not something Luo Dingguo could answer, so he waved to the attendants in the palace to bring Luo Dingguo a Yuan Stone chair.

Wu Yue invited Luo Dingguo to sit down, and the attendant served tea. The two chatted like friends about interesting things that had happened around the world recently.

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Yue said that he still had political matters to deal with, and asked Luo Dingguo and Utopia to reply to Wu Guo as soon as possible, and then asked the attendants to send Luo Dingguo out of the palace.

Wu Yue was the only one left in the palace. Wu Yue put down the tea cup in his hand and suddenly asked, "The plan of Prime Minister Ji is indeed brilliant. I see that the envoy just now is very moved. Utopia is probably going to take advantage of this conspiracy."

An old man walked out of the back hall. He was the prime minister of Wu Kingdom, Ji Xingwu.

"The more you get to know these enemies, the more special you can feel about them. They all come from another world. In the original world, they lived in a peaceful country in a peaceful era. They are used to peace, and most people hate war."

Ji Xingwu said slowly.

"If they accept peace, then there will be a rift in Utopia's relationship with Jingguo, and our forces in the west will be able to withdraw to deal with the pressure from the north.

And if they refuse, their committee will need to convince the internal forces that hate war and hope for peaceful trade. If we can provoke them, there may even be divisions within Utopia, which can also reduce the current pressure on the Western Territory."

Wu Yue nodded, and the two discussed the details when they made the plan. No matter what choice Utopia made, it would be beneficial to the current situation in Wu State.

"Have all the people who attacked Jingguo set off?" Wu Yue was silent for a moment and then asked suddenly.

"They have all set off. After the summons was issued, most of the sects responded positively. We should have reached the border of Weiguo by now. A large number of masters from Jingguo are at Zhenbeiguan, so the success rate of this attack is very high."

Ji Xingwu replied that the Wei State he was talking about was one of the small countries bordering the eastern border of Wu State.

"A bunch of moths!" Wu Yue snorted angrily, "If we want them to support the northern border, we should push back and block them one by one and let them use the east road to raid the hinterland of Jingguo. Each one is more active than the other!"

Wu Yue naturally has reason to be angry. The strength of Wu State not only comes from the royal family and the army, but many powerful sects are also the core forces of Wu State. However, these forces have become increasingly out of control in recent years.

Wu Yue had known for a long time that Jingguo had gathered an army to attack Zhenbeiguan. After receiving the order from the military headquarters, even the sects in the northern border kept shirk- ing and were unwilling to support Zhenbeiguan, let alone the sects in Zhongzhou.

Door.

So Wu Yue and Ji Xingwu made a plan. The military secretly summoned masters from all the sects in Zhongzhou who had magical powers and above. They were led by masters from the royal family and the military to attack Jingguo from small countries such as Weiguo in the east.

.

Taking advantage of the fact that most of the military forces of Jing State were gathered at Zhenbeiguan, they went around to the southeast of Jing State to launch a strong attack, plundered the hinterland of Jing State, killed and wounded Jing State's monks, and forced Jing State to divide its troops and return to defense.

During the raid, whatever the masters gained from the sect belonged to the sect, and Wu Guo classified this operation as a military mission, and an additional amount of military merit would be calculated to subsidize the sect.

"This world is the world of practitioners after all. The sect is powerful and does not obey military orders. Sooner or later, I will have to deal with these worms."

Ji Xingwu lowered his head and remained silent. He could understand Wu Yue's anger. Wu Yue was a powerful emperor who did not tolerate disobedience.

The pair of monarchs and ministers in the palace fell into silence again. After a long time, Wu Yue asked, "Prime Minister Ji, the people of Jingguo took the initiative to tell us that Jiang Tao is the chosen one. What do you think?"

"It's nonsense. Dean Jiang has guarded the country in the north for more than 20 years. His loyalty to Wu State is well known in the north. This must be a plan to alienate Jing Guo."

Wu Yue naturally knew that this was a divorce plan. This divorce plan was very superficial, but it did plant a seed of doubt in his heart.

Jiang Tao's resume is very clean. He was born and raised in Wu State, graduated from Beining College and joined the army, and then fought in the northern border of Wu State for nearly twenty years.

No matter it was the officials of the Northern Territory, the supervisors of the military, or even Wu Ji who guarded Zhenbeiguan in the royal family, Wu Qing of Beining City, and Wu Jing of the Northern Army, they all praised Jiang Tao and called him the pillar of the Northern Territory.

Loyal, courageous, loving soldiers as sons, he will be the first to advance in battle, and he will be the last to retreat...

But Wu Yue was an emperor, and it was his nature to be suspicious.

Why did the military want to transfer Jiang Tao back to Zhongzhou to serve, but he always refused on the grounds that Ye Haoran had not avenged his revenge?

Why is it that Jiang Tao, who is clearly only in the supernatural realm, is able to kill so many magical realms, and is only injured even after many battles with transcendent realms?

Why did Jiang Tao only accept one disciple for so many years, and this disciple happened to be a famous genius with extremely fast cultivation speed?

"Your Majesty, you need to know that no one is perfect in terms of heart and deeds. The current situation in Zhenbeiguan is critical. Dean Jiang is also fighting for the country on the front line. You must trust the soldiers fighting on the front line and not let them feel cold."

Wu Yue nodded and agreed, but the thoughts in his heart still lingered.

The chosen one...

...

By the time Qian Fu broke through the Thunder Prison and rushed to the south gate, Lu Chuan and the others had already divided up the spoils.
To be continued...
