Chapter Twenty-Nine: The King's Helplessness

Xuanwu Kingdom, the inner imperial city

"Woo~~~~~~~~"

A long and mournful horn sounded in the inner imperial city.

Those who are familiar with it know that this is the sound of the trumpet only when the king convenes a major meeting.

"What happened here?"

"I haven't thought about it in years. ”

"Yes, yes, I remember the last time it sounded, it was when the king himself marched!"

"Do you mean ......?"

The sound of the trumpet spread far away, completely covering the entire capital, and the people who heard it were also talking, and for a while, the people were panicked.

Inner Imperial City, Great Hall of Parliament

"Dear Aiqing, I have summoned you today to discuss one matter with you!" On the throne, the king's voice continued to hit everyone's heart.

The pinnacle of the high-level demon sect!!

Everyone in the hall was deeply shocked by this powerful magical aura.

"For the Xuanwu Conference in two and a half years, all Aiqing, what can you say!" the king's majestic and solemn voice came from the throne again.

Xuanwu Conference!

It is also called the princess's party.

But the princess ...... Looks like he's less than ten years old!

Here's what's going on.

According to the practice of the Xuanwu Kingdom, the princess is usually sixteen years old before the king starts the Xuanwu Conference.

First, it is to recruit relatives for the princess and select the best young talents.

Second, it is also to recruit strong people for the future of the country, and he was not selected in time, as long as his performance is remarkable, he can still be promoted to the knighthood.

But this ......

The king's words caused a commotion among the courtiers below.

"King Qiyu, I don't think this matter is inappropriate!" a figure stood up from among the ministers.

The king sat on his throne, looked at the muscular figure, and smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that the Xuanwu Kingdom is not all rice worms that eat white rice.

"Does Duke Zhou have any opinions?" said the king.

This person is Zhou Yinwu, Duke of Zhou.

"King, according to the old minister's opinion, according to the practice of the country, the princess is not allowed to hold this Xuanwu Conference if she is less than twenty-eight years old, but now, you have made an exception!" Zhou Yinwu stood in the center of the hall and said to the king with his hands arched.

The bow salute is the standard formal etiquette of a warrior.

This shows that Zhou Yinwu's words are from the bottom of his heart.

"Duke Zhou, now that the survival of the country is at stake, this Xuanwu Conference is a talisman of the Xuanwu Kingdom, the rules are dead, people, but alive!"

Behind Zhou Yinwu, another person wearing a black magician's robe also stood up and refuted Zhou Yinwu's opinion.

This person is the Duke Chris, who has been a little low-key recently.

Zhou Yinwu turned to look at Chris.

Suddenly, a cold breath burst out of my heart.

This person has eccentricity!

"My Xuanwu Kingdom is also a big country among many kingdoms, why do you need the so-called Xuanwu Conference as a weight for survival?"

Another man, dressed in a red mage's robe, also stepped forward.

This person is An Pingrui's father, Andakang.

Andakang is usually low-key and rarely shows off in front of others.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, which is also one of the reasons why the An family can consolidate its status as a national heir.

Now I heard the sound of the trumpet, and it was the first time in many years that I wore this magician's robe given by the king himself.

At this moment, Duke Yayan and Duke Lin Handong on the side stood in place, unmoved.

Because they are two, they obey only the king.

And Zhou Yinwu is only good at military affairs, and he is really not good at these so-called conspiracies.

Fortunately, Andakang stepped forward.

Zhou Yinwu thanked Andakang on the side.

Andakang raised his right hand into a fist and placed it on his chest as a return salute.

This is also standard magician etiquette.

"Presumably Duke Ann hasn't heard of a single thing yet!" Chris snorted as he looked at the two in front of him.

"I've heard a little!" said Andacon.

"Now that you know what's at stake, what do you think as the heirloom prince of the Xuanwu Kingdom?" Chris's eyes today always gave people a very uncomfortable feeling, like ......

"Back then, I followed the kingdom to conquer in person, and as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, I galloped on the battlefield, and now I still use my knife to kill the enemy.

That year, I led more than 10,000 soldiers, not even the tens of thousands of miscellaneous pieces in the Pegasus Kingdom, throwing away their armor!

I'm waiting for !! fight."

Zhou Yinwu was furious, very angry.

The king lost his ambition of the year, the corrupt ministers in the Xuanwu Kingdom, and the young people of later generations who did not want to forge ahead!

These are all facts that Zhou Yinwu has seen in recent years.

Peace has been so long that people have forgotten that this world belongs to the jungle!

Only by experiencing blood can people survive in troubled times!

I'd rather die on the way to the charge than be a slave who lives on your knees!

"Hehe, Duke Zhou, as the Equestrian Kingdom is no longer as strong today as it was back then, its strength has skyrocketed, three powerhouses of the Martial Dao Realm, and even dozens of martial artists of the Martial Sect Realm.

Do you think you can save the Xuanwu Kingdom with just one blood?"

Chris continued to refute Zhou's proposal.

"And what does Duke Chris think?" said the king, who had been watching from the throne, suddenly said to Duke Chris.

"King Qiqi, I think the Xuanwu Conference is a good choice, through peace between countries, and then alliances, it is not impossible to obtain twenty years of peace!

When the time comes, we will reinvigorate, twenty years, enough for us to fight the shame back!"

Duke Chris stood in the center of the hall, made a magician salute to the king, and said solemnly.

"You're farting!" Andakang on the side heard Chris's insight, and burst into foul language!

"The so-called harmony, the so-called alliance, that's just a means for the Tianma Kingdom to want to kill our country without blood!

Once the alliance is formed with the relatives, the Tianma Kingdom will begin to exert pressure step by step through the shackles of the alliance, and then with its strong strength, the Xuanwu Kingdom will be defeated!"

"Impossible! Through harmony and alliance, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages for the development of my Xuanwu Kingdom!!" Chris heard Andakang's words, and for a while, a breath emanated from his body.

High-level Demon Sect!

Hiss~

The ministers below felt the oppressive force from Duke Chris, and couldn't help but gasp.

"This guy actually broke through!" Andakang also felt the danger signal from Chris, and also released his breath.

Another high-level demon sect!!

Two completely different breaths collided on the main hall, and for a while, it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser!

"I'm here to help you too!!" Zhou Yinwu was not to be outdone, and the surging martial intent in the dantian was exuded with a bloodthirsty murderous aura.

Hiss~

Senior Martial Sect Realm !!

Now the three dukes, in front of the major meeting of the Xuanwu Kingdom, are actually competing against each other!

"Chris, as long as we are alive, your wishful thinking will not be realized!!"

Zhou Yinwu yelled at Chris.

Although the three major dukes are all powerhouses of the high-level Demon Sect stage (high-level martial sect realm), Chris is facing two of them, and his momentum is not inferior at all!

What a terrifying momentum!!

But the king, who was seated on the throne, fell silent as if he had not seen it.

Princess Binh Duong is the king's favorite daughter, and he certainly does not want his daughter to be a victim.

Even if Princess Pingyang is only seven years old.

But for the sake of the country, for the sake of tens of thousands of people, the king, he had to think so.

The king was also helpless.

However, as the master of the country, hesitation is a big taboo.

Now that the strength of the Xuanwu Kingdom is declining, the strength of the Tianma Kingdom is skyrocketing again, and between the two countries, large and small wars have lasted for many years, but now, they have to make a choice.

Just as Andakang confronted Zhou Yinwu and Chris, the king sent a message that shocked the whole country.

"Xuanwu Conference......!"
