Chapter 387: Pressing Together
"Tie him up!" Luo Ming said coldly to the surrounding palace guards: "Send all the Northern Alliance missions back immediately, lest they die here and bite us back, saying that we slaughtered the envoys of the Northern Alliance, making it difficult for us to explain." After speaking, he stared at the other attachés of the Northern Alliance Mission who looked stupid, and said, "You have all seen it, it is your Lord Zhang who insists on seeking death, but it is not us who want to harm him." In order to safeguard the interests of the Northern Alliance, Lord Zhang was loyal and courageous. We deeply admire it. ”
Ever since Luo Ming came to power, he has always demanded that any meeting be attended by a clerk to record the speeches of all those in the meeting. Otherwise he will lose his temper. Therefore, the people in the palace also developed the habit that as long as he was there, someone would inevitably notify several clerks to follow him. Record his conversations with anyone, unless he asks the clerk to walk away so that he can have a private conversation.
A group of palace guards came up and tied Zhang Huiwu into a big dumpling and handed it over to the members of the Xuanwu Kingdom to carry away. Luo Ming instructed the clerk to give them a copy of the minutes of the meeting, and instructed the palace guards: "Immediately escort all the members of the Northern Alliance mission out of the country, and they will not be allowed to stay for a moment until they are handed over to the border guards of the Northern Alliance." He looked at Zhang Huiwu and ordered: "You can't loosen his bonds, and hand over Lord Zhang to the army of the Northern Alliance like this." ”
He was very embarrassed when he saw Zhang Huiwu being carried out, but when he looked at Qin Tianzhu, there was a trace of gratitude in his eyes. Luo Ming tied him up like this, and it was indeed easier for him to go back. Perhaps, not only can hundreds of people in the family save their lives, but even the matter of saving their own lives is probably not a big problem, right?
Sure enough, after the Northern Alliance mission returned, although Gu Zhongxun was so angry that his head was smoking, he did not blame the members of the mission, and he forgot to punish Zhang Huiwu, but just threw things everywhere in the house to vent his anger. He constantly troubled the inner guards, the court maids, and the guards, and completely forgot to analyze the responsibilities of the mission.
He was now very entangled in the question of whether or not to use force against Black Cloud City. Two wars were fought in a row, both of which were lost with absolute superiority in troops.
Even if he has two million soldiers in his hands now, it is estimated that he is still a little apprehensive about using force against the Northern Alliance. After all, that scheming and tricky little imp is really terrifying. I don't know what to do with him. When he thought of that Luo Ming, he hated it so much, but there was nothing he could do. After pondering for a long time, he finally thought of calling Hu Yingxuan, the inspector of Zhenyuan Mansion, to discuss a more appropriate way together.
A day later, an internal supervisor came to report that the envoy of the Avrean Empire had come to visit and made a special request to come to see Luo Ming. Luo Ming had a headache when he heard this.
The Avres Empire is strong, not only with a large population, a vast territory, and abundant products, but also extremely rich in military resources, with a total standing army of more than 2 million in the country. Not only that, but they also raised a lot of cultivators with very strong strength, which were not comparable to the Northern Alliance.
The overall strength of the country of the Avrance Dynasty is far from being comparable to that of the Eastern Saint Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom, and it is an opponent that must not be taken lightly. Luo Ming was in a slightly moody mood and met with the envoy of Avranster. The envoy who came was Sima Yun, the first assistant to the cabinet of the Avres Dynasty.
It is said that he is a relatively powerful character, and with his strong assistance, the power of the Avrean Empire is unprecedentedly strong, and the people are rich. Even among the four empires on this continent, it is a formidable opponent.
Sima Yun came to the Black Cloud Kingdom, and first paid a courtesy visit to the king of Black Cloud City, King Wu Yan. From the very beginning, he gave the King of Wu a dismount, saying that the Avrean Empire would never tolerate the kingdoms under its rule, and the act of fighting and conquering each other without permission.
The Warrior King was not a legitimate existence in the first place, and he had not yet received the favor of the supreme emperor of the Avres Empire. Came to power completely privately through a coup d'état. The appointment of officials is also a mess. I heard that you appointed a child under the age of fifteen to be a lieutenant, and to be in charge of all the armies of the country. This is simply an inexplicable move, if all countries can act so recklessly, then our Avream Empire will be ridiculed by the world.
This kid must be removed from his official position immediately, otherwise, the Avreans Empire will unite with other countries to jointly crusade against Black Cloud City.
In addition, the king of Black Cloud City had to explain to him clearly what was going on with the recent attack on the Northern Alliance and the Eastern Saint Kingdom, the annexation of Fuhua Prefecture in the Northern Alliance, and the occupation of the Eastern Saint Kingdom. If the envoy is not satisfied, the Avres Empire will also discuss a military crusade against Black Cloud City.
One final point to note: based on the results of this investigation, the Avream Empire will consider whether it is necessary for the Warrior King to personally visit the capital of the Avrean Empire and explain the above matters to the Emperor in person.
The King of Wu had never seen such an aggressive scene, and he was very frightened for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it. Fortunately, Sima Yun only paid a courtesy visit, and there was no need for King Wu to answer these questions now.
He just gave a briefing on the situation, and then asked to meet Luo Ming, the Grand Lieutenant of Black Cloud City, in person. Because he knew that the real right to speak in the entire Black Cloud City was in the hands of this child, and the Martial King was just an ornament. It's just a character who doesn't say it, and doesn't say it.
The meeting between Sima Yun and Black Cloud City took place in the sleeping palace of Black Cloud City, the Yelang Palace.
In the face of this representative who represented the powerful strength of the Afrenz Empire, Luo Ming was still relatively restrained, did not show his madness at all, and received Sima Yun very politely and quietly.
Sima Yun is still arrogant and tough. He repeated what he had said to King Wu to Luo Ming again, and then looked at Qin Tianzhu indifferently, meaning that he was going to listen to his answer immediately.
Luo Ming said cautiously: "Wind and dust, come from afar. He should have rested for a few days before talking about such a major issue, but now he has just arrived in Black Cloud City to talk to Wei Chen, which shows how much attention the Affrence Empire has paid to this. ”
He paused, cleared his throat slightly, and said, "Strictly speaking, the Black Cloud Kingdom is not a real kingdom in itself, but an insignificant remote mountain town. The infinite grace of the Emperor of the Tomon Yaflance Empire was rewarded as a nation. This point, from the king of Black Cloud City to the thousands of unknown grass people, no one dares to forget. ”
