Wuguo, Shiming City.

After more than a month of arduous travel, Han Lingxiao and Xue He finally led the mighty army of bandit refugees to Shiming, the capital of Wu Kingdom.

But the stone inscription in front of him has long been lost as the capital of a country should be, due to the successive wars, coupled with the fact that senior officers of the Yue Kingdom come to Shi Ming every once in a while to harass and rob the treasures, Shi Ming City has become very inhabited, and the few residents are closed doors and windows, and they will never take half a step out of their homes unless they have to.

Han Lingxiao planned to go directly to the palace to visit the monarch of Wu and discuss with him how to defend against foreign enemies.

When the group came to the gate of the main hall, they saw that the door of the palace was also closed, and there were two rows of poorly equipped guards standing in line at the door, all of them were listless, and they pretended to be majestic and solemn to frighten the people who came to the gate of the palace to beg.

Han Lingxiao looked at the group of people in front of him at the gate of the palace and shouted something fiercely, to the effect that the king should give everyone something to eat......

"It seems that it is not easy to see the monarch of this Wu country!" Xue He touched the triangular shape of the little black beard on his chin and said, his chin looked even sharper and longer due to the hurried and hungry days of travel.

Han Lingxiao motioned for the army of bandit refugees to wait at the door of the main hall to rest for a while, and he walked straight forward through the group of people, came to the door, looked at one of the guards and said: "I am Han Lingxiao from the Han Mansion of Yuguo, and I have something important to do in Wuguo this time to play His Royal Highness the King." ”

"Han Fu?" the guard listened to this somewhat familiar but unfamiliar name, and thought for a while before remembering it.

"Is there any evidence?" he asked.

Han Lingxiao then took out the red token of the Han Mansion from his body, but fortunately, he had been carefully keeping this token along the way, and sure enough, it really came in handy in Wuguo.

He handed the token to the guard, looked at Xue He who was standing beside him, and introduced: "This is the national teacher of Ji State, and the ninth person on the martial arts list, who was sent by the king of Ji Country to help you Wu Kingdom, and I hope you will go together to report to your Highness." ”

The guard looked at the token suspiciously, and looked at Han Lingxiao and the scrawny Xue He beside him in confusion before agreeing to go in and report it.

"It's really rare that you take the initiative to admit that you are from the Han Mansion. Xue He smacked his lips on the side.

"I can't tell them that I'm the reincarnation of Yan Luo, in that case, I'm afraid I'll be driven out of Shiming City as a madman before I enter the palace gate!" Han Lingxiao also said a little helplessly.

The guard went to report for a long time before coming back, and motioned for Han Lingxiao to go in with him.

The two walked into the palace gate, Han Lingxiao looked around, and found that this place not only did not look like a palace, but more like a colosseum, there was a bleak scene in all directions, most of the sculptures and stone statues in the courtyard that looked supposed to be worth a lot of money had been smashed, many valuable plants had also been scorched, and the towering ancient trees had been cut down by the roots, which looked very distressing.

When Han Lingxiao came, he had heard that some time ago, when the Yue army attacked Shiming City, the royal family and the nobles in the city fled in a hurry, leaving only an empty city.

Entering the palace, the valuable things in the palace have basically been looted, and only a few guards are still there, but it seems that they are only surviving. Han Lingxiao looked up at the monarch of the Wu Kingdom on the throne, he was very old, with long gray hair, but it was a little unkempt and looked like he hadn't taken care of it for many days, and it was rare that a diamond-encrusted crown was still buckled crookedly on his head.

"His Royal Highness!" Han Lingxiao and Xue He saluted at the same time. Finally seeing the king of Wu Kingdom, Han Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least so far, half of his initial goal had been achieved, but the current poor state of the old king's physical and mental health made him dare not relax at all, after all, driving the invaders of Yue Country out of this land is their ultimate goal.

"Ji Guo and Han Fu ......" The old king leaned on the throne, looking at the two people under the palace weakly, but the corners of his mouth raised a slightly self-deprecating smile, "Are you also here to carve up the territory of my Wu Kingdom?"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out a hand to point around, and continued to add: "But as you can see, there is not much of value here, so unfortunately, you are one step late!"

"Your Highness, I think you must have misunderstood," Han Lingxiao hurriedly explained after listening to his inexplicable words: "We are here this time to help you and the people of Wu Kingdom, and drive away the invaders of Yue Kingdom, we are here to wish you a helping hand!"

After listening to his words, the old king's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and then he shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't believe it, the Han Mansion is one of the four major families, how can you big forces come to help a small country like ours." ”

"Because I didn't come here to represent the Han Mansion, I came to help the people of Wuguo, to help them rebuild their homeland," Han Lingxiao said to him firmly, "When I was still in Yuguo, I encountered a gang of bandits in the mountains and forests, and they formed gangs in the deep mountains, and they also endangered the safety of the people of Yuguo. ”

"Later, I learned that they were all defeated in the Battle of Wuyue, and they escaped death as prisoners of war but were homeless. I could have chosen to use the forces of the Han government to hand over these bandits to the government and send them to death, but I didn't. ”

"Why?" asked the old king with a sneer.

Because in this chaotic world, it is difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, and in the final analysis, they are only victims of war and strife. What I want to do now is to do what I can to help these people, they trust me, so it's my responsibility to lead them back home. ”

"Trust you?" said the old king, who felt a little ridiculous, "what do you think you are?"

"Han Lingxiao is the reincarnation of Yan Luo and the black mule king incarnated by the Divine Dragon," Xue He looked at the old king solemnly, "He pulled out the Jade Dragon Divine Spear, a relic of Yan Luo, from the bluestone in the ancient city of Yelan, the capital of our Ji Kingdom, that magic spear is only subject to Yan Luo's own orders, and it is also the national treasure of our Ji Kingdom, and all our citizens can testify to this!"

The old king looked at the two people in front of him in half amazement, those words just now, if they were said from someone else's mouth, he would definitely think that person had a mental problem, but the man in green in front of him was the ninth on the martial arts list, and he was the national teacher of Ji State, whether it was from the perspective of strength or status, he had no need to lie for the young boy in front of him.

"So, the people have embraced you, and you have made yourself king because of this?" asked the old king again.

"Your Royal Highness the King can rest assured that after helping to drive out the invaders of the Yue Kingdom, Ling Xiao will leave the Wu Kingdom and return to the Han Mansion, and then nothing will threaten your rule," Han Lingxiao saw his scruples, and said sincerely: "I have only one purpose, and that is to let the people of the Wu Kingdom return to their proper life." ”

The king looked at the resolute and confident young man under the palace, he had never even dreamed that one day, the future fate of the Wu Kingdom would be pinned on the hands of such a thin young man......
