Sunny and windy weather, no matter where it was, could be considered good weather. This was especially true in the Arctic Continent. Although the ice in the Arctic Continent didn't melt all year round, it still made the temperature rise, making people feel more comfortable.
In the morning, Fang Hua got up early and ate something. Then he put on his clothes and took his Magic Staff before he went out. After he went out, the people in his family were also ready. All of them were wearing armor and holding Magic Staffs in their hands, ready to fight at any time.
The Fang Family was very clear about what they were going to do today, so they were also prepared. They had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Fang Hua went to the hall of the Ministry of Rites and returned to his office. Then he sat down and closed his eyes. He was actually calming his emotions. He knew what he was going to do today, so he needed to calm down.
Time passed quickly. At around nine o 'clock in the morning, Fang Hua finally opened his eyes. Then he slowly stood up and walked out.
When Fang Hua arrived outside, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were already prepared. All of them were wearing official robes and looked very spirited.
Fang Hua looked at the appearance of these officials and couldn't help but smile contemptuously. Then he nodded to the crowd and said, "Let's go to the Transmission Formation and see if the people from the Thick Earth Continent have arrived." Everyone nodded and then followed Fang Hua outside.
Before long, the group left the Ministry of Rites and headed towards the Transmission Formation. At this time, the streets were already taken over by the army. Ordinary people had already returned home, so there was no one on the streets.
Fang Hua led the people from the Ministry of Rites to the Transmission Formation and then stood motionless. They were waiting for people to arrive. Naturally, everyone except Fang Hua thought that they were waiting for people from the Thick Earth Continent.
At around 9: 30 AM, a white light flashed on the Transmission Formation. Then five people appeared. They were wearing yellow robes and had Magic Staffs in their hands. The leader was an old man around 50 years old. He looked very serious.
When Fang Hua saw this group, he immediately greeted them and said, "Are you a delegation from the Thick Earth Continent? I am the Ice Jade Nation's Minister of Gifts, Fang Hua. Nice to meet you all. "
The old man looked at Fang Hua and nodded, "Mister, we're from the Thick Earth Continent. This old man is Shi Linhai, nice to meet you."
Fang Hua quickly said: "Welcome everyone, His Majesty is already waiting for you in the palace, please come with me." Then he led Shi Linhai and the others out of the transmission formation and directly arrived at the carriage. This time, there were more than a dozen carriages. The people from the Thick Earth Continent were also divided into two carriages. Fang Hua and Shi Linhai were in one carriage while the other carriage was occupied by four people from the Thick Earth Continent.
Along the way, Fang Hua and Shi Linhai chatted and laughed. They talked about the situation of the Ice Jade Country and there was nothing unusual. The deer carriage arrived in front of the Imperial Palace.
When they arrived in front of the Imperial Palace, the carriage stopped. Then Fang Hua led Shi Linhai and the others down the carriage. There were already some people standing in front of the Imperial Palace. The one leading them was Tang Ming.
When Tang Ming saw Fang Hua and the others arrive, he immediately greeted them with a smile. Then he cupped his fist and said, "Minister Fang, nice to meet you. I'm Tang Ming. His Majesty is waiting for you. I ask Minister Fang and the others to come with me. As for the others, please return to the Ministry of Rites."
Naturally, the people from the Ministry of Rites didn't say anything. They cupped their fists towards Tang Ming before turning around and leaving. Tang Ming smiled as he led Fang Hua and Shi Linhai towards the Imperial Palace.
Before long, the group arrived at the Main Hall of the Imperial Palace. Inside the Main Hall, the civil and military officials of the Ice Jade Country were already present. Actually, it would be a bit excessive to say that there were civil and military officials present. Most of the people present were civil officials. Generals rarely participate in court meetings. Only some of them were from the Ministry of War. But the people from the Ministry of War could also be considered civil officials. Only a few of them were military officials. But now, the Ice Jade Country's army wasn't under the control of the Ministry of War, it was under the control of Yu Yunlong.
After Fang Hua and the others entered the Main Hall, Fang Hua immediately bowed towards Yu Yunlong and said, "I've seen Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor. Your Majesty, the Thick Earth Continent's emissary has arrived."
Shi Linhai also gave a deep salute to Yu Yunlong, but he didn't kneel. Instead, he looked at Yu Yunlong and said, "I've seen Your Majesty. The Thick Earth Continent's emissary, Shi Linhai, gives his greetings."
"Mister Shi doesn't need to be polite. Get up. Come, give Mister Shi a seat." After Yu Yunlong's voice was heard, two eunuchs immediately brought chairs and placed them behind Shi Linhai.
After Shi Linhai and the others expressed their gratitude, they sat down. Then Shi Linhai looked at Yu Yunlong. But then he noticed that there was another person sitting next to Yu Yunlong. Although this person wasn't sitting next to Yu Yunlong, he was still sitting not far from Yu Yunlong. Behind this person was a person wearing armor. This person wasn't holding a weapon.
Shi Linhai couldn't help but stare. He had some understanding of Yu Yunlong, but he didn't know that there were two people beside Yu Yunlong. These two people, one was sitting next to Yu Yunlong while the other was standing behind him. They were obviously his guards. This was very strange, who were these two people?
It wasn't just Shi Linhai, the officials in the hall were also very puzzled. They didn't know the identity of these two people. Fang Hua looked at the two people several times. This was because Shi Linhai was sure that he had never seen these two people before. The one who was sitting was too ordinary, and the one who was standing was also very ordinary. How could these two people appear in the hall? Moreover, they were also by Yu Yunlong's side. Who were they?
While Fang Hua was puzzled, Yu Yunlong's voice was heard, "Mister Shi, which country are you from in the Thick Earth Continent?"
Shi Linhai quickly replied, "Replying to Your Majesty, this one is from the Thick Earth Continent, the Shitan Kingdom. This time, I was chosen by the Alliance to be the envoy."
Yu Yunlong nodded, then he looked at Shi Linhai and said, "What does Mister want to see in our Ice Jade Country? Where do you want to see it from? "
Shi Linhai said in a deep voice, "This time, I came to see how the Ice Jade Nation's preparations are going, whether the strategic materials are ready, and how the military training is going. If Your Majesty permits, you can start from the Ice Jade Nation's official warehouse."
Yu Yunlong nodded, then he said, "My Ice Jade Country is already prepared. Since Mister is here for military affairs, I won't delay Mister's time. Mister can go take a look at the official warehouse."
When Yu Yunlong said this, everyone in the hall stared. They didn't think that Yu Yunlong would say something like this. One must know that the Thick Earth Continent's emissary was supposed to be received in the hall. Then a banquet would be held for the emissary. After that, the emissary would be asked to look at the account books. Afterwards, the emissary would be asked to look at the treasury. This was the normal procedure. How could the emissary be asked to look at the treasury? This was too disrespectful.
Shi Linhai and Fang Hua's complexion changed. Fang Hua opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, this, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."
Yu Yunlong looked at Fang Hua and said, "This is a time of war. There's no need to care about etiquette. Military affairs are more important. What does Mister Shi think?"
When Shi Linhai heard Yu Yunlong, his expression turned gloomy. He thought that Yu Yunlong would follow the normal procedure. He would first talk to Yu Yunlong and then present him with a 'gift'. But he didn't think that Yu Yunlong wouldn't give him this opportunity and directly asked him to leave. How could he leave? After thinking about this, Shi Linhai immediately said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be in such a hurry. This time, I came with the account book of the Ice Mountain Country, as well as the account book of the Thick Earth Continent. Now that we've formed an alliance, Your Majesty should take a look at these two accounts first before taking a look at the official warehouse."
This was the 'gift' that Shi Linhai prepared. This wasn't an ordinary gift. Generally, the accounts of countries wouldn't be made public. You can see the strength of a country from its accounts. Naturally, no country would want other countries to see their strength. Therefore, this account book couldn't be made public. Shi Linhai and the others knew that Yu Yunlong would certainly accept this gift.
Yu Yunlong looked at Shi Linhai and said, "There's no need for that. I don't need to look at the accounts of other countries. We're now in an alliance, and our enemy is the common enemy of the Five Spiritual Realms. Therefore, we need to unite and trust each other. Therefore, I don't need to look at those accounts. You can look at the official accounts."
Shi Linhai stared blankly at Yu Yunlong. He discovered that Yu Yunlong was looking at him with a calm expression. This made Shi Linhai speechless. Yu Yunlong's words didn't seem to come from the mouth of a King. Instead, it seemed like it came from the mouth of a hothead. This was too strange. Shi Linhai looked at Yu Yunlong.
The Civil and Military Ministers in the hall were puzzled. They didn't understand what Yu Yunlong meant. Why would he say such a thing? It was too strange. It didn't sound like something Yu Yunlong would say. Strange, very strange.
Shi Linhai took a deep breath and fixed his eyes on Yu Yunlong. In a deep voice, he said, "There is no need to rush to look at the official warehouse. If Your Majesty agrees, can you show us your accounts?"
Yu Yunlong replied, "Of course. You can take a look at the official warehouse first. Tonight, I'll have someone deliver the accounts to you. Right, I've already prepared a place for you to rest. There's no need to worry. The situation is urgent right now. Every country is preparing for war. I can't waste any time."
Shi Linhai's face twitched. He looked at Yu Yunlong and said, "Your Majesty seems to be in a hurry to drive us out of the palace. What's your intention?" Shi Linhai couldn't leave. Since they were going to make a move anyway, they might as well shed all pretense of cordiality. Although they couldn't deliver the gifts, they were already inside the palace. Now that they were so close to Yu Yunlong, they didn't believe that Yu Yunlong would be able to escape.
Yu Yunlong narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shi Linhai and said, "Mister Shi's words make me feel strange. I've already said this many times, the situation is urgent. Naturally, I can't delay any further. However, Mister Shi doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving from the beginning. You've been pushing and delaying me several times, I don't know what you're here for. Could it be that Mister Shi didn't come here to check the supplies? Is it because you're not here to inspect the goods or do you have some other purpose? You should know that you have to personally inspect the goods. What's the point of looking at the accounts? "
When Shi Linhai heard Yu Yunlong, he couldn't help but stand up. He coldly snorted and said, "Jade Emperor, we are the emissaries of the Thick Earth Continent. You didn't even let us drink water before driving us out. This isn't how you treat your guests, right? You're the one in the wrong, aren't you? "
"Hahaha, how am I supposed to treat my guests? If you were really the emissaries of the Thick Earth Continent, then I would naturally treat you as a guest. Unfortunately, you aren't. I was just testing you to see if you would leave the palace, but you didn't. Hahaha, it seems like you're really anxious. What's the matter? How does it feel to be beaten up by the Ghost Mask Army? Before, you wanted to devour our Ice Jade Country, but in the end, this old man's son died, and the other sons all ran away. Now, you've come again. Should I say that you people of the spiritual world have a persevering spirit, or should I say that you people have no other means besides this kind of conspiracy and crafty schemes? To be honest, I'm very disappointed in the performance of you people from the spiritual world. I thought that you people from the spiritual world would have some tricks up your sleeves. But now, it seems that you people are really weak and stupid. Was my performance before normal? Did you not see anything? "
When Yu Yunlong's words came out, the entire hall turned silent. Everyone stared blankly at Yu Yunlong before turning their heads to look at Shi Linhai and the others. Shi Linhai and the others also had shocked expressions on their faces. They didn't think that Yu Yunlong would know about their identities. They really didn't understand how Yu Yunlong knew about their identities. They thought that their plan was flawless.
However, it didn't take long for Shi Linhai to react. His complexion turned ashen. He knew that Yu Yunlong had tricked him from the very beginning. Yu Yunlong already knew about their identities. But Shi Linhai was very curious. Where did Yu Yunlong get his courage from? He actually dared to let them into the Imperial Palace. Did he think that he could block their attacks at such a close distance?
At this time, the other Civil and Military Ministers in the hall also reacted. Several of them immediately stood in front of Yu Yunlong and shouted, "Guards, protect His Majesty!" Along with these shouts, some of the Ministers immediately stood in front of Yu Yunlong. However, most of the Ministers didn't move. Not only did they not block Yu Yunlong, they also retreated behind Shi Linhai's group. Naturally, they were using this method to tell Yu Yunlong that they were with Shi Linhai.
