"What right does a mortal have to shout at me?”
The voice that came from the bottom of the Xiliang River stunned all the people on the spot. Their expectant smiles froze on their faces.
What?
Mortals?
Was Dong Zhongshu an ordinary person like them, who had no cultivation?
But this was not right. If Dong Zhongshu was just a mortal, why would the Imperial Capital send him here to pray for rain?
The West Region had suffered from successive droughts in recent years. The local governor had tried all kinds of methods. He prayed for rain once a month and gave all kinds of tributes and gold and silver. However, after so many years, there was still no rain.
Therefore, the commoners knew that mortals would not be looked at by immortals at all, even if they were officials of the imperial court.
If one wanted to communicate with immortals and speak on equal terms, one could only be an existence with a similarly powerful cultivation base!
Therefore, after waiting for so many years, they finally saw someone from the imperial court, and it was the Imperial Prince who had personally sent him. Naturally, they thought that Dong Zhongshu must be an unfathomable expert!
But who knew that he was actually a mortal.
Wasn't this treating the rain prayer in the West Region as a child's play?
The citizens who had been anticipating this were discussing in hushed voices. They were caught off guard by this sudden incident.
"Lord Dong Zhongshu is a mortal? Really? Then what about our prayer for rain? I've already taken out the last of the seeds. We're just waiting for rain.”
"The Dragon King has already said that it shouldn't be fake! He had not expected that the imperial court would really send a mortal without any cultivation. What was he thinking? Not only would he not be able to pray for rain, but Dong Zhongshu himself would also be in danger. If the Dragon King was angry, it would be terrible!”
"Yes, although Dong Zhongshu came all the way to the West Region to pray for rain for us, if he was really a mortal, he could only lower his head and pray to the Dragon King. But wouldn't this bring shame to the Great Qin Empire? How can this be!"
"That's right. Even if it doesn't rain, we can't let it affect Great Qin's reputation. If we have to make a high-ranking official of the imperial court beg a Dragon King for rain, then it's fine if it doesn't rain!”
"Yes! It's fine if it's not!"
It had to be said that under the rule of the Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, the people of Great Qin were very confident in themselves. Even these poor people who were suffering from famine were very united.
At this moment, they would rather endure the drought than let Great Qin's prestige be humiliated!
However, the more they acted like this, the more indignant Dong Zhongshu felt.
The influential families and factions in the court were all pampered and fought for their own interests all day long. Their true awareness was not as good as these poor people.
Heroes are often butchers of dogs, and ungrateful people are mostly scholars.
Although Dong Zhongshu himself was a scholar, he felt that this sentence was not without reason when he recalled it.
It seemed that after this matter was settled, it was time to make a trip to the scholarly faction or the Hundred Schools of Thought!
When the people outside saw this, they all laughed angrily.
Within the scholarly faction, Zhang Cang sneered in his heart.
This Dong Zhongshu really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He was only a brave man. He actually dared to go to Western Liang alone to pray for rain. Did he think that the Dragon King would give him face just because he was the trusted aide of the Thirteenth Prince?
Dream on!
Putting aside the fact that he was only a person who was in charge of the Imperial Prince, even if he was an imperial envoy personally sent by the Qin Emperor, it would not work.
This was because they had secretly reached an agreement with the Dragon Clan. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Dragon Clan. It was a great opportunity to increase the fate of the entire Dragon Clan!
Even though the dragon race's faction was still unable to resist Great Qin, he believed that the Western Liang Dragon King would not compromise with the Thirteenth Prince.
Chunyu Yue asked Zhang Cang,"
"Have you already made the necessary arrangements?”
Zhang Cang smiled and said,
"It's foolproof. The Dragon King of Western Liang won't be swayed by force or persuasion. If Dong Zhongshu tries to use force, it will damage Great Qin's reputation.
If Dong Chung-shu were to use force…"
"He's just a mortal. If he offends an immortal god, he'll die.
His Highness 'reputation was still affected.”
Chunyu Yue nodded.
"This is a good thing."
General Manor.
"Pa!"
Wang Jian ruthlessly slammed his palm onto the table. The stone platform that was carved from a thousand jin boulder immediately shattered into pieces and turned into fine powder!
"This stubborn Dong Zhongshu rejected my good intentions. Now, he's just waiting for a puny Western Liang Dragon King to humiliate the dignity of Great Qin.”
Meng Tian also sighed,"
"I thought he had some backup plan, but he went to the Xiliang River alone. He's too conceited. Does he think he can make the Dragon King rain with his glib tongue?
How ridiculous!"
Wang Ben frowned,
"No matter what, we can't just watch as the Great Qin Empire's reputation is trampled by a Dragon King. Otherwise, when His Majesty comes out of seclusion in the future, how can we face His Majesty?
How about this? I'll send the Tiger Leopard Battalion of the Guanzhong Army to the West Region. If that Dragon King dares to mess around, we'll suppress him and kill him!”
A mere Immortal God!
The Immortals and Gods who had fallen under Great Qin's cavalry did not care about one more!
As for offending the dragon race and the Heavenly Court?
Great Qin had never been afraid of such things!
Li Xin shook his head,
"It's too late now. His Majesty isn't here, and the Tiger Tally has to be submitted to the Thirteenth Prince and reviewed by the Grand Commandant. By the time you've gathered the troops, Dong Zhongshu will probably be dead.”
The few generals shook their heads, unable to use their strength.
In his heart, he felt more and more disappointed with Prince Ying Mo.
In Zhao Gao's residence.
Prince Huhai and Zhao Gao laughed.
Huhai snorted coldly.
"Haha, in order to gain some pride, Thirteenth Brother will probably lose his promise to the world. When that happens, everyone will talk about him, and we'll see who will listen to his orders.
It would only become the biggest joke in the world!”
Zhao Gao's eyes also lit up.
"Other than pretending to be brave, Ying Mo is useless. This time, his downfall is only a matter of time. At that time, we should still focus on Fusu. He is your true opponent."
Within the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, the cultivators and students who had cultivations looked calm. To them, they only enjoyed the benefits of Great Qin's prestige and only cared about the benefits of their own factions.
They didn't care about the lives of the disaster victims.
This was also the mentality of most immortal cultivators. Once they entered the immortal path, they were no longer willing to be affected by the mortal world.
To put it bluntly, he was selfish. He could only let the world down, and he could not let the world down!
At this moment, in Western Liang River Dragon Palace.
The Dragon King and all the guests burst into laughter.
The Western Liang Dragon King drank and said,"
"Little Dong Zhongshu, a mortal with a mortal body, dares to make a fuss on my Xiliang River. Does he really think he's a big shot?
How ridiculous!"
The monsters at the side flattered,
"He's just a chess piece under an unknown prince!”
"That's right, he is just an ant. Does he really think that he is an imperial envoy of the Qin country? How dare he clamor in front of the Dragon King? He was really courting death.”
The Dragon King nodded.
"Everyone, after the rise of Great Qin, the Human Race has become unbelievably arrogant, especially those old Qin people. They don't know their own strength and dare to look down on Immortals and Gods. Later, I'll humiliate Dong Zhongshu and let them know the difference between mortals and Immortals!”
But at this moment, Dong Zhongshu's shout suddenly came from above the Xiliang River!
"Great Qin's law! He ordered the Dragon King of the Western Liang River to rain immediately. There must be no mistakes!”
His words were forceful and unquestionable. Everyone in the Dragon Palace froze.
Countless people who were paying attention to this place were also dumbfounded. Then, their expressions became strange.
