Chapter 1670 Strong Guarantee

"Envoy Lu, your persuasiveness is really impressive. It can be seen that the strength of City Lord Fu Jing should be far beyond my expectations... It seems that I really overestimated myself..." Duke Hengyue said in a low voice.

Even when facing Emperor Darui, he maintained his arrogance. It was not easy for him to make such a statement.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "That's right! Isn't it much better if you can talk like this? Well, let's not beat around the bush. You asked Marquis Ding to go to Xihai City to block me and pull me here first. You should have some ideas of your own, right? Let's speak frankly and tell me what you think on your side!" Duke Hengyue couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This Lu Afeng is really frank and speechless! For many years, no one has ever negotiated with him in this way...

However, the other party's performance just now completely broke his defense, and the weight of this guy in front of him was unprecedented among the opponents he had faced.

"Originally, I did have my own ideas, but after seeing the envoy's methods just now, all my ideas have been overturned..." Duke Hengyue shook his head helplessly.

Lu Yu said: "If that's the case, then why don't you listen to my ideas first, Grand Duke?"

Duke Hengyue nodded and said: "I would like to hear the details."

Lu Yu smiled and said: "I know that you suddenly intercepted me halfway because you were worried that the Da Rui royal family would try to win over Xihai City and stand on the opposite side of the Hengyue Principality, right?"

Duke Hengyue remained silent.

The other party did guess his thoughts, but he couldn't answer this question. After all, he was still the Duke of Da Rui Empire in name. If he admitted it, wouldn't it mean that he had a rebellious heart?

Lu Yu continued, "You don't have to answer my question. Whether my guess is right or not, I can assure you that Xihai City is not interested in the territory within your sphere of influence, Duke Hengyue. As long as the Duke Hengyue Kingdom does not take the initiative to provoke, Xihai City will never stand against you!"

"Oh, really?"

Duke Hengyue showed a look of surprise, his eyes full of questions, as if asking: If this is the case, what is your purpose in going to the Imperial Capital?

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "We in Xihai City have only one purpose, that is, to take Xianfeng Hezhou. Apart from that, we are not interested in anything else. Even if the Darui Empire will change to another surname one day, we don't care at all!"

Duke Hengyue couldn't help but frown.

This Lu Afeng is really direct. He really dares to say anything...

"Feng Hezhou..." Duke Hengyue muttered in a low voice, "So, the miracle treasure really exists..."

"What? Do you still have doubts about this issue?" Lu Yu said, taking out the special moon-closing stone amulet, "Or, I'll give it to you to study it carefully?"

After that, he threw the moon-closing stone directly into the hands of Duke Hengyue.

Duke Hengyue was stunned.

The power of the protective barrier formed by this moon-closing stone is obvious to all. He never expected that Lu Yu would throw such a precious thing to him, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered for a while.

As a powerful duke, he hasn't been in such an embarrassing situation for many years...

He naturally didn't know that this stone had infinite power in Lu Yu's hands because Lu Yu mastered the mystery of the true name of this world. It would be different if it was replaced by someone else.

For those who have not yet comprehended the true meaning of the big world, such as Duke Hengyue at this time, this piece of Biyue Stone is actually not much different from an ordinary stone.

"This... this..."

Duke Hengyue was at a loss when holding the Biyue Stone, just like holding a hot potato.

Lu Yu waved his hand gently and said, "Just think of it as a gift from my lady to you, Duke. It's a small gift, not a respect!"

Duke Hengyue naturally cannot drive the defensive barrier on the Biyue Stone, but this stone is more or less useful to him. This will be a shortcut to observe the true meaning of the world.

If his comprehension is sufficient, he may really comprehend the true meaning of this world, and thus know the origin of this world. This will be an incomparable improvement for him.

At this moment, Duke Hengyue naturally didn't know all this, but he also knew that this stone was precious, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Duke Hengyue, I really can't help but want to advise you... You really should look further ahead. The status of the emperor is just a passing cloud. Only the true meaning of power is eternal. I think you should work hard with my lady. Isn't it better to explore the mysteries of the miracle treasure together?"

Duke Hengyue's mouth twitched.

It's not that he didn't think about the miracle treasure. In fact, before meeting Lu Yu tonight, he was still considering what means to use to make the other party reveal more clues related to the miracle treasure...

But after the negotiation just now, he knew that this matter was completely out of his control. Wait a minute.

He couldn't hold down just Lu Afeng, let alone Fu Jing who was holding the Miracle Sword behind him.

Therefore, he could only leave it to chance as to the final ownership of the miraculous treasure...

"Then I would like to thank City Lord Fu and Special Envoy Lu for their generous gifts!" Grand Duke Heng said with a slight bow.

He didn't respond to Lu Yu's teasing suggestion. After all, he was also a powerful figure, and it was still hard to accept that he wanted to be subordinated to a younger person who was born late.

Lu Yu shrugged and said, "Anyway, I'm leaving it here. This is what my young lady meant. If the Grand Duke becomes interested in miracle treasures at any time, he can talk to us at any time, but the place for discussion is not here. Well, I need you, the Grand Duke, to go to Xihai City in person!"

Grand Duke Heng said calmly: "Thank you Special Envoy Lu and Deputy City Lord for their kind words. I know about this..."

Lu Yu smiled softly, paused and continued, "Okay, after saying so much, it's just empty talk. Let's talk about something practical next..."

"Duke Heng, you also know that Xihai City is rich in all kinds of medicinal materials, which are excellent alchemy materials. However, the alchemy technology in Xihai City was not good before, and the production of elixirs was extremely low... This time, my lady brought back from the miracle Harvest has completely changed this point. In the previous battle with the coalition forces of Ouyang, Jialan, and Yuchi, the reason why the victory was achieved was because the elixir played an important role in it..."

"There was also a battle between my subordinates and nobles outside Echizen-den last night. The elixir also had a decisive effect..."

"So, Xihai City's elixir manufacturing capabilities are now very strong, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of its troops!"

"Next, we will open the elixir trade between Xihai City and Hengyue Principality. We will sell various types of elixirs to Hengyue Palace Kingdom to help Hengyue Principality improve its combat power!"

Lu Yu said with a smile on his face, like a devil that confuses people's hearts.

"Grand Duke, do you think our measures like this can be regarded as a strong guarantee not to confront the Hengyue Principality head-on?"
