In the throne room.
"An envoy from Chu!"
A servant in a python robe knelt in front of the hall and reported respectfully.
The atmosphere instantly fell silent.
The ministers were slightly stunned. Just as they were about to drag Su E'Liao away for interrogation, an envoy from Chu State suddenly came?
Could it be that there was a connection between them?
The white-robed man's eyes were as calm as an ancient well, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. Clearly, it was beyond his expectations.
"Announce!"
The empress waved her sleeves calmly.
It was definitely not for Su Guan.
Who would care if he died?
Just as the imperial court was feeling puzzled, a travel-worn and scholarly man walked into the main hall. It was the Minister of War of Chu, Li Fuchen!
"What's the matter, Emissary?" The empress's expression was serious as she sensed that something was wrong.
The dignified Minister of War actually lowered his status to become an envoy?
Could it be that they were going to start a war?
The ministers were anxious and uneasy. They suddenly realized that Li Fuchen's gaze was all on the white-robed man.
"Su Guan, the Chu Country wants it!"
the scholarly man said calmly.
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples!
The court was deathly silent, like a gloomy tomb!
The atmosphere was almost frozen!
The officials 'pupils constricted. It was unbelievable to the extreme!
"Ridiculous!"
The empress was the first to recover from her shock. Her bright and noble face was filled with coldness as she said coldly,
"This is the internal affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can the Chu Country be allowed to interfere?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers led by Pei Yuan jumped out to criticize him. Their voices were noisy and chaotic.
Li Fuchen turned a blind eye to it and only stared at the legendary Su Guan.
He had no choice. This was the empress's order. He had to bring this person back to Chu.
After hearing about this matter through a spy, he rushed over in a hurry. Along the way, there were martial arts experts from Chu State escorting him, so he was not considered late.
"His Majesty of Great Chu has issued an edict to release Su Guan. The Chu Country is willing to cede a city.”
Li Fuchen was unwilling, but he still had to put on a serious expression.
Boom!
Like a bolt from the blue, the imperial court was once again shocked!
For a moment, the ministers 'minds went blank. They felt that it was extremely bizarre!
Why was Chu Country jokingly called by Nine Regions?
Chu Ba Village!
That's right, Chu was located in the south of the continent. Its territory was very small, with only eight cities.
Even though it was prosperous and rich, there were only eight cities.
And now, he was actually going to give up a city!
What kind of courage was this?
Buying a bone horse with a thousand gold coins?
Was Su Eoliao worthy?
How could an orphan, a beast who only knew how to kill, be compared to a city?
"Really?" Wu Mingyue stared at Li Fuchen without blinking.
"The edict is here."
Li Fuchen took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch beside him.
Wu Mingyue took the eunuch's scroll and read it carefully. There was indeed Jiang Yanwan's imperial seal.
In an instant, she was tempted.
With an additional city, it was a feat of expanding the territory, defending the glory of the Great Zhou, and completely consolidating the imperial power!!
"Your Majesty, please…"
Pei Yuan wanted to stop him, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he did not dare to continue.
As the Prime Minister, he knew very well what a prosperous city meant to His Majesty.
"Zhen does not agree!"
Suddenly, Wu Mingyue became very calm.
Su Guan held too many secrets. He had to die to be at ease. Otherwise, he would be a huge hidden danger for Great Zhou.
Moreover, Jiang Yanwan was said to be the number one beauty in Nine Regions. She felt very uncomfortable when she thought of her former lackey being loyal to another woman.
"If you don't agree, then let's start the Kingdom War. Chu is ready.”
Li Fuchen's voice suddenly rose, his aura was imposing, and he was not afraid of the courtiers in the hall.
There was complete silence.
Silence!
The ministers 'chests were about to explode, and they were extremely shocked!
He never expected that the Chu Country would actually threaten him with a country war!
Although the Chu Country was weak, the other eight countries did not dare to underestimate it. The people of this country were brave and aggressive, and their cohesion was extraordinary!
Most importantly, the Chu Country was adjacent to the Zhou Country. The two sides had even signed an alliance agreement, so there were very few disputes.
Once the war started, not only would the Great Zhou have to face the menacing Chu Country, but they would also have to face the Zhao Country and Qi Country in the north. They would be attacked from all sides!
These words were like a knife stabbing into his abdomen!
The empress's expression suddenly changed. She didn't think that the State of Chu would joke about such a matter. Moreover, Jiang Yan was only 18 years old in his later years, but he also had a decisive killing technique.
"The Emperor of Great Zhou, please give an immediate reply.”
Li Fuchen lowered his hands respectfully and said slowly.
Not only him, even the internal members of Chu were shocked. They didn't know what His Majesty was thinking. How could an abandoned child have such a high value?
However, the emperor's orders could not be disobeyed, and the capital of Jinling could only obey. It was ready to be given the nickname of " Seventh Village of Chu " by the eight countries…
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wu Mingyue's expression changed. She stared at the man in white and sneered,"
"Very good, I've already thought of treason.”
Initially, she felt guilty for framing him, but now, her guilt was gone!
Only I can betray the world, no one can betray me!
Su Guan smiled lightly. He was too lazy to argue and had no intention of speaking passionately.
He asked calmly,"
"So?"
