Chapter 02: Cold Encounter

Wu Renxiong did not dare to attack the city, so Di Qiuhan said that he led his men into the city to kill Hu Botong, and then opened the city gate and let the army enter the city.

Wu Renxiong rejected his proposal, saying that it was too dangerous and that if it failed, it would be better to attack the city directly.

After the dispersion, Wu Renxiong invited Di Qiuhan to his commander's tent and asked someone to put the food and drinks on it. Wu Renxiong whispered: "Gu Du is my brother, and you are not an outsider. I'll tell you a few truths. Please listen for a while, right? Let's discuss it when I finish talking."

Wu Renxiong said that Hu Botong did not surrender because Emperor Ze ruled the world with benevolence and virtue. Hu Botong bet that the army did not dare to ignore the lives and deaths of the people in a city.

Wu Renxiong believed that killing him would be too cheap. Hu Botong wanted nothing more than two things, one was a name and the other was an official.

The Spirit Emperor has already run away, and he is guarding an isolated city himself, so why should he be silly? He seems to be noble and rather die than surrender, but in fact he wants to use this city to make a deal.

If you really have the backbone, you will go out of the city to fight and die on the battlefield. You will be a hero who is wrapped in a horse and a corpse.

Di Qiuhan nodded slowly and said, "What the Grand Marshal said is very reasonable, but...what should I do?"

Wu Renxiong smiled sinisterly and said, "Ask the Emperor."

"Ask the Emperor?" Di Qiuhan frowned and said, "The Emperor is kind. If you ask the Emperor, wouldn't that help Hu Botong make the transaction?"

Wu Renxiong smiled and said, "Isn't there any more Xia Hou? If Xia Hou can tolerate villains like Hu Botong, then I will admit it."

Di Qiuhan was silent for a moment and said again: "The emperor has not moved the capital yet. Even if he sends 600 miles to speed up, it will take more than half a month to travel. Is it appropriate to take such a long time?"

Wu Renxiong said: "There is nothing to do if it is not suitable. You and I can't afford to take on such a big thing."

On Shanyuan Mountain, Chu Qin and the envoy of Xiongren Kingdom arrived. Because they were going to see Emperor Ze this time, the navigator of Xiongren Kingdom brought the envoy to the west coast and got much closer from Shanyuan Mountain.

When Chu Qin came back, the envoy of Xiong Renguo had not yet started from Jueling Gate. Chu Qin told Dongfang Xinghao about what happened in Xiong Renguo. The wife frowned and said, "Mia's little hoof is really sinister and cruel. Why don't we kill her envoy?"

Dongfang Xinghao said: "That won't happen. The two countries will not kill the envoys when they are at war, let alone they are here to meet the emperor. How can we interfere in the affairs?"

The lady said, "If Emperor Ze signed the letter of state, wouldn't Gu Du and the others be isolated and helpless?"

Chu Qin said, "Madam, don't worry, I will take the lead and report this to the emperor first."

Dongfang Xinghao said: "It doesn't matter whether you go or not. The envoys of Xiong Renguo will tell the emperor clearly."

Chu Qin said, "Even so, I have to go back."

Dongfang Xinghao nodded and said, "That's true. After all, you are the great spiritual master of the Spiritual Division."

The lady asked, "Master Chu, didn't Gu Du want to mobilize troops?"

Chu Qin replied: "No, he said that when he needed it, he would send someone back."

Chu Qin said, "I want to take my family with me when I go back this time."

Dongfang Xinghao replied: "It should."

When she returned to the room, Shangguan He said in surprise: "I'm back, is it still going well?"

Chu Qin hugged her, shook her head, and said, "It's not going well."

He called Zhong Jinling over. After listening to Chu Qin's story, Zhong Jinling said, "Gu Du has always been cruel and ruthless. Why is this time so unbearable? He killed that Mia at that time."

Chu Qin said: "It's easy to kill Mia, how can Kellysa win people's hearts? They are the lord election."

Zhong Jinling asked, "Then they are just trying to make trouble on their own? How long will it take?"

Chu Qin shook her head and said, "Gu Du naturally knows it. You can clean up and follow me to go to Zeguo Imperial City."

The next morning, Chu Qin and others said goodbye to Dongfang Xinghao and his wife, then got up and headed for the Imperial City of Zeguo. That night, they arrived in Jersey County, and then went straight to the inn after entering the city.

Chu Qin showed her waist sign, but the post soldier who was guarding the door said, "Sir, it's a coincidence that there are no rooms in the inn. Please rest elsewhere."

Chu Qin was stunned, and Zhong Jinling scolded: "Nonsense! There is no room available for such a large inn? Take me in and see!"

The post soldier said expressionlessly: "This is the post house of Zeguo, which is only for the officials of Zeguo's own country."

Chu Qin frowned, and Zhong Jinling pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand and said angrily: "Rareless! Isn't my husband the Great Spirit Master of Zeguo?"

The post soldier still said expressionlessly: "Do you know it in your heart?"

Zhong Jinling wanted to draw his sword, but Chu Qin held it down and said, "Go to the inn."

Zhong Jinling shouted: "Why!"

Chu Qin suddenly glared, her eyes were as cold as a knife. Zhong Jinling gritted her teeth and got back into the carriage.

When he checked in at the inn, Shangguan He looked dim, and Zhong Jinling was still breathing heavily with anger.

Chu Qin said: "A post soldier dared to do this, so he naturally did it to the top and the bottom. Now that Zeguo has destroyed Lingguo, all the subjects of Zeguo are impetuous, but they are afraid that there will be troubles. Let's take a night to wait. I will send you back to Mount Tanyuan tomorrow."

Shangguan He frowned and said, "I don't want to go back."

Chu Qin said: "There is no place for peace in the world. Hundreds of years of accumulation of hatred cannot be resolved in a moment. Only Mount Danyuan is the place where quietness is."

Shangguan He said, "After all, Danyuan Mountain is not our home. In the past, we had to live in Juelingmen in the world. If we are in great peace today, it is not easy to disturb others. If you don't want to take us to the Imperial City of Zeguo, you can send us back to the Imperial City of Lingguo, or send us to Jingxuezhai."

Chu Qin frowned, and Zhong Jinling shouted: "Resign from his post! Stop doing it! A mere post soldier dares to give you a cold face. What's the use of you, the so-called great spirit master?"

Chu Qin sighed and said, "You are right, but don't yell. This is an inn. It's all ordinary people. Even if you yell, the entire inn can hear it, what's the use? It makes people laugh."

Shangguan He thought for a while and said, "Husband, why do I think this matter is too strange?"

Zhong Jinling said, "What's wrong? The people in their Zeguo just look down on the people in our Lingguo! They forgot! Gu Du is also a member of Lingguo. If Gu Du hadn't, they would have poured the northwest wind on the ice field!"

Shangguan He was too lazy to pay attention to her, and looked at Chu Qin and said, "Husband, do you think someone will target you on purpose?"

Chu Qin frowned slightly and asked, "What are you targeting me?"

Shangguan He said: "You are the Great Soul Control Master, and Gu Du's master, and Gu Du is the uncle of the country. He will definitely not be a high priest. If you are a great Soul Control Master without a position or title, the Emperor and Empress Xia will definitely be uneasy, so I think sooner or later you will take over as a high priest."
