Chapter 316
There are both advantages and disadvantages for the Emperor Chu to join the Jinfu Water Palace.
If it is for the purity of the Water Palace, Zhou Yuan should not accept his joining.
But for the better development of the Water Palace, he cannot refuse the joining of the True Dragon subordinate.
Otherwise, the other dragon young masters will think that this is a signal he deliberately sent out, and will no longer seek in-depth cooperation.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan still accepted the Emperor Chu's joining and granted him the position of General of the Water Palace.
[Ding, get the Human General*1]
The Emperor Chu had no idea that his identity was leaked again. While thanking the Purple Chi incarnation for his care, he also took the initiative to offer advice.
"Shaoqing, most of the southwestern branches of Hengjiang are located in Chu. I have lived in Chu for many years and have some understanding of the situation in Chu.
Since I am the general of the Water Palace, I should do something for the prosperity of the Water Palace."
"Please allow me to go to the surrounding area of the Water Palace to check the terrain, so as to quickly determine which forces the Water Palace is close to and how strong the local feudal lords are.
If they are obedient, we can write a letter to divide the water and land into different regions. If they are arrogant, we can strike them with thunder and support other feudal lords of Chu to annex their land."
After the King of Chu obtained the position of the general as he wished, he immediately guided the external attitude of the Water Palace with reasonable suggestions.
This is also the most important reason why he joined the Jinfu Water Palace. As long as he has the right to speak, he can gradually influence the decision-making of the Shaoqing.
Zhou Yuan had no intention of fighting with the Chu State, so he naturally agreed to his proposal.
"Young Master Shuizhi is right. Chu is a powerful country. Although we are not afraid, we should not be arrogant.
We should focus on negotiation and use military pressure to stabilize the development of the water palace."
After the two reached an agreement, they teleported back to Jinfu Water Palace together.
When the King of Chu arrived at the water palace and saw the Vermillion Palace on the clean water, the Golden Light Palace in front of the Fuhuotai, and the azure winding roads, he had a new understanding of the power of the Hengjiang Dragon King.
Everyone knows that the interior of the secret realm is not impossible to change, but it will take a long time to reshape the environment.
But now, only one day after the Pearl Banquet, the dark ghost nest has turned into a clean water blessed land.
You can tell at a glance that the water level is definitely not shallow, not a stream, but a lake.
Add to that a palace of auspiciousness flashing with sparkling precious light, which is almost a small-scale ability to change the world.
"The Dragon Lord could easily create such a blessed land. He is truly mighty and has created a mysterious creation."
The King of Chu originally thought that the Jinfu Water Palace was just a temporary place for troops to be stationed, but he did not expect it to be so clean and complete.
At this time, he was very glad that King Binxuan escaped with his life, otherwise he would not have intervened in the Jinfu Water Palace so quickly.
After entering the Vermilion Palace, he saw more than a dozen landless dragons patrolling in batches, and an old Qiulong was in the Golden Light Palace.
"Shaoqing, who is that Qiulong Shaojun? Why have I never seen him before?"
"That is the Qiulong General in my palace. He also explored the Hengjiang Dragon Palace for me.
After I learned about the Mingzhu Banquet, I thought that I should not show my strength too much, so I did not bring him to the banquet."
"Shaoqing is thoughtful. If you had brought Qiulong General to the banquet yesterday, the dragon Shaojuns would have been ashamed and dissatisfied."
Zhou Yuan's answer solved a question in the King of Chu's mind, that is, who was the original invader of the Youhan Ghost Nest.
At this moment, he roughly understood the situation at that time. Two of the three young princes of Qionglong mentioned by King Binxuan should be the Dragon Prince of Hengjiang and the General of Qionglong.
Those ghosts do not know the appearance of real dragons, and only use dragon horns to determine their identities, so they say that there are three young princes of Qionglong invading.
The only thing that makes the King of Chu puzzled is the identity of the third Qionglong.
"Who is it? Is it another general of Qionglong, or one of Qionglong Aoxi and Ao Jie."
Although his thoughts have been fruitless for the time being, the King of Chu believes that he will know the truth sooner or later.
Therefore, he no longer thinks about it, suppresses his doubts, and greets the General of Qionglong and the Dragons who lost their land generously.
His arrival makes the Dragons who lost their land very excited. The young officials are indeed powerful. The three young princes have been in charge of the Water Palace not long after it was built.
Given time, the lineup of the Dragon Prince as the general and the mixed-blood Dragons as the soldiers will surely be realized.
By then, they will be the elders of the Water Tribe Dynasty and should be able to obtain more resources, or even the opportunity to transform into a dragon.
After a brief exchange with everyone, the King of Chu explained his plan and took the initiative to go out of the Water Palace to inspect the waterway.
Not long after, he returned again and sold out King Binxuan completely.
"Everyone, I have been here before when I was touring the waterways of Chu, and I am quite familiar with the situation here.
This place is Binxuan County, which is under the control of King Binxuan of Chu. This river is called Qishui, and it is nicknamed because the water patterns are like brocade.
I heard that King Binxuan is a vicious and domineering person. He may deliberately provoke us to fight with Chu for his own selfish desires."
"There is a county called Tongdong County in the south of Binxuan County, where most of the four tribes of mountain barbarians live and follow the king of the four tribes, Wuyou.
We may contact Wuyou to clean up King Binxuan. We only need to agree to separate land and water. The kings of the four tribes will most likely choose to cooperate with us to expand their territories."
At this time, King Binxuan did not know that the King of Chu was ready to clean him up. He was still dreaming that the soldiers of Chu would suppress the water tribe and establish its prestige.
"Shaoqing, I am willing to take charge of the negotiations. If nothing unexpected happens, we will get a reply from the four kings in the near future."
"Good, if Shaojun Shuizhi can appease the State of Chu, it will save a lot of trouble. In this case, I will trouble you."
The King of Chu got the power of diplomacy, and Zhou Yuan got concessions from the court of Chu. Both sides were very satisfied with the current situation.
King Binxuan on the other side was also very satisfied because the King of Chu took the initiative to send him a message.
"King Binxuan, don't wait and see. Even if you can't find out the truth about Qishui, you should withdraw your troops to a safe position.
I have sent a general who is good at fighting to Binxuan County. If the matter can be negotiated, then we can talk. If the negotiation fails, I am afraid that we will have to resort to war. "
"You should reach a settlement with King Anxuan as soon as possible, otherwise when dispatching soldiers from the surrounding areas, King Anxuan and the four kings will probably avoid fighting."
"Your Majesty is right. I will unite the surrounding feudal lords as soon as possible."
The words of the King of Chu made King Binxuan feel much more at ease. His secret realm of origin is finally expected to return.
In addition to being excited, it can't help but think of another possibility, what if the water tribe agrees to negotiate.
With the style of the Chu State, it will certainly not fight with the water tribe for a piece of Qishui.
If the two parties agree to divide the land and water, then his secret realm of origin will not return.
"No, once they negotiate, I can't use the military power of the Chu State to accomplish my goal.
I need to intensify the conflict between the land and water before the arrival of the court generals to prevent them from having room for negotiation. "
For his own benefit, King Binxuan did not care how much damage Chu suffered.
He did not care about the participation of the dragons in the war, and the flooding of rivers and streams.
In his opinion, as long as the secret realm that produced spiritual objects was still there, the losses of Binxuan County could be recovered sooner or later.
He thought so, and so did the King of Chu.
The King of Chu knew too well who King Binxuan was, but it was not easy to kill him because of his position, and he could not kill his own lord just to please the water tribe.
For this reason, he deliberately expressed his intention to negotiate with King Binxuan. Once King Binxuan made a move, he could join forces with Si Lu Shaoqing to speak out.
"King Binxuan has secretly surrendered to Wei and deliberately instigated our Great Chu to fight a decisive battle with the Hengjiang water tribe.
This thief has evil intentions and is guilty of unforgivable crimes. He should be severely punished according to the law of the country, and a loyal and brave general should be selected to govern Binxuan County. ”
