"King Qiyu, there are people outside the city who ask to see you. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" A soldier came to the palace and said respectfully.

"Someone wants to see this king?" Duanmu Xuan asked, frowning slightly.

"Who's coming?" Duanmu Xuan asked again.

"I don't know, do you need to blast them out?" replied the soldier.

"No, the one who comes is a guest, let them go to the Chengguang Hall and wait, and then the king will arrive. Duanmu Xuan said slowly.

"The subordinates understand. After the soldier saluted Duanmu Xuan, he quietly retreated.

Chengguang Hall is about 50 square meters, there are flowers and plants all around, there are many landscape paintings hanging on the wall, there are two huge rice carved screens on both sides of the main hall, there are several tables and chairs in the hall, it is specially used to entertain guests.

As soon as Duanmu Xuan stepped into the Chengguang Palace, he saw the three of them standing on the top of the main hall, carefully observing, the leader was a young man, who looked about twenty years old, dressed in white, handsome, and maintained a faint smile on his face, which made people feel very intimate.

Although he looked young, but in him, Duanmu Xuan faintly felt that the other party exuded a kingly temperament, which seemed to be like a living possession, and there was no need to deliberately disguise it.

Behind him were two middle-aged people, one of whom was wearing a hat, covered with a black veil, and could not see his face and age clearly, looking quite mysterious.

"Meet King Duanmu. When the young man saw Duanmuxuan coming, he first saluted Duanmuxuan, with a polite appearance, but the two men behind him just bowed their hands slightly and did not speak.

"Are you?" When Duanmu Xuan saw the young man's appearance, he raised his eyebrows, feeling that the other party was very familiar, and then, said slowly: "You are from Cao Guo?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from King Duanmu. The young man smiled faintly and spoke.

"That's right, I am a member of Cao Kingdom, and my father is the current King of Cao. The young man smiled lightly, and he replied calmly and calmly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the third prince of Cao Kingdom, Cao Shuang, right?" The corners of Duanmu Xuan's mouth curled slightly, and he stretched out his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and then turned around and sat on the main seat.

"It's down there. Cao Shuang replied, and the two behind him sat on the wooden chairs on both sides, and then, a maid entered the hall and handed over the tea prepared early in the morning one by one.

"I think you should know the grievances between this king and your Cao Kingdom, right? You came here late at night, and you just took these two people with you, so you are not afraid that this king will kill you directly?" Duanmu Xuan picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and did not look up to look at Cao Shuang and the others.

"I didn't provoke King Duanmu in Xia, I didn't provoke him, so why be afraid in Xia?" Cao Shuang smiled faintly, and also took a sip of the teacup, and the two people behind him looked cautious and silent.

"What a good one, what to fear. Duanmu Xuan clapped his hands, Lang smiled, then stood up, walked in front of Cao Shuang, and said lightly: "You should have heard that this king is very willful, willful, you don't need a reason to kill, do you believe that this king will kill you now and let you accompany your eldest brother?"

The eyes of the two behind him were cold, and there was a faint hint of murderous intent in their eyes, especially the man with the hat, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword, ready to attack at any time.

"I believe that King Duanmu will not kill me, and he is not willing to kill me. Cao Shuang looked directly at Duanmu Xuan and said calmly.

"Oh, do you give this king a reason not to kill you?" Duanmu Xuan glanced at Cao Shuang, sat back on the throne, and listened to the latter finish speaking.

"Because we can form alliances, break up other nations, and occupy more cities. Cao Shuang said directly.

"Ally with this king? What qualifications do you have to form an alliance with me, just by virtue of your identity as a prince?" I'm afraid it's not qualified enough, right?" Duanmu Xuan sneered, but in his heart he had a drastic change in his heart about this Cao Shuang, who had never met before.

Cao Shuang is the least favored prince among King Cao, in terms of cultivation, he is not as good as Cao Yun, in terms of sycophancy, he is not as good as Cao Lu, except for reading scriptures every day, he is not good at anything else, and even he rarely cares about court politics, so King Cao did not spend too much thought on him at all.

But when Duanmu Xuan saw him today, he felt that he was more difficult to deal with than Cao Yun and Cao Lu, but now was not the time to tear his face.

"With the identity of a king. Cao Shuang picked up the teacup, took another sip, and behaved calmly.

"As far as I know, your father is not dead, right, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to take the throne?" Duanmu Xuan tilted his head sideways and looked at Cao Shuang and said.

"I'm not dead now, but it won't be necessary after a while, as for whether I can die soon, it depends on King Duanmu. Cao Shuang said meaningfully.

"Oh, there's a bit of an interesting topic, you go on. When Duanmu Xuan heard this, he smiled lightly.

"As far as I know, my father will unite with the Lu State during this time, and the Lu State will send troops together to defeat the Duanmu King. Cao Shuang said.

You continue. Duanmu Xuan looked directly at Cao Shuang and spoke.

"When they send troops, if I .....," Cao Shuang slowly analyzed.

After half a sound, after Cao Shuang finished speaking, Duanmu Xuan was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Cao Shuang's power had spread to other countries.

Of course, Cao Shuang must still have reservations about Duanmu Xuan, but I have to say that Cao Shuang is indeed a suitable candidate to be the king.

"Your plan can be said to be seamless, but it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to this king, right?" Duanmu Xuan asked rhetorically.

"King Duanmu's words are wrong, if this plan is successful, not only will there be two enemy countries, but also one more ally, as long as I am king, I can promise you that after the unification of the Eastern Earth Divine Prefecture in the future, we will be divided into two and never invade. Cao Shuang said.

"What if this king doesn't agree?" Duanmu Xuan's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked at Cao Shuang and said.

"If you don't agree, I can assure you that by that day, Liuyun City will be a river of blood, with countless casualties. Cao Shuang looked directly at Duanmu Xuan and replied.

"I think Duanmu Xuan should know that in every big country, there are guardian gods, we call them immortals, and now the reason why my father does not dare to wave his troops is because he can't get the protection of the immortals. Cao Shuang said.

"And I was approved by the immortals. Cao Shuang said indifferently.

"Then are you going to use this to blackmail this king?" Duanmu Xuan suddenly turned dark and said in a cold voice.

"If I'm going to use this to blackmail King Duanmu, I don't have to come here tonight, just a letter, I believe King Duanmu can feel it. Cao Shuang said with a smile, not feeling the slightest nervousness at all because of Duanmu Xuan's change of face.

"For a win-win plan, I don't think Duanmu King will refuse, right?" Cao Shuang said again.
