The East Ocean Dragon Palace was surrounded by waves. 60 majestic elite soldiers of the dragon palace guarded the main gate with weapons in their hands.
Five meters away from the gate stood a man who was about 60 years old. He was wearing a bright red robe, a belt, and a pair of black boots. He was standing respectfully with a smile on his face.
Behind him was a luxurious carriage full of treasures.
With his back hunched, Premier Xia slowly walked out of the main gate of the Dragon Palace accompanied by a young general of the Dragon Palace.
"Premier Xia, how did it go?" The man in the red robe immediately took two steps forward.
With his back hunched, Premier Xia squinted at the man in front of him and said, "Premier Lu, the Dragon King is not in the dragon palace. I can't handle your sudden visit to the East Ocean Dragon Palace with gifts."
The smile on Premier Lu's face suddenly turned bitter. "It has been three days, and you still haven't contacted the Dragon King?"
"The Dragon King is very busy. How about … you wait for a few more days? Without the Dragon King's order, I can't let you in. "Premier Xia looked embarrassed.
Premier Lu who came all the way from the West Ocean Dragon Palace almost cried when he heard this reply.
He came to East Ocean on Saturday with gifts at the order of Oldman Zeng, but East Ocean only sent Premier Xia, who was of the same rank as him, to receive him. Moreover, Premier Xia treated him coldly. This Premier of West Ocean couldn't even enter the gate of the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
In the last three days, he had to sleep in the open and eat in the open.
However, Oldman Zeng broke into the East Ocean Dragon Palace despite the soldiers' resistance. Since West Ocean didn't follow the rules, East Ocean didn't have to follow the rules.
However, the Crown Prince of West Ocean was still being 'taken care of' in the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Since East Ocean didn't care about West Ocean's gifts, West Ocean could only endure in silence.
"I still have some things to take care of. Premier Lu, please wait here." Premier Xia cupped his hands slightly and walked into the dragon palace.
Seeing that Premier Xia was about to walk in, Premier Lu gritted his teeth and hurried over to stop him. "Brother Xia! Brother Xia! "
"West Ocean will add five more West Ocean Mystic Ice. What do you think?" he said with a frown.
Premier Xia shook his head and gently removed his hand. "I still have to report this matter to the Dragon King …"
Wearing a red robe, Premier Lu gritted his teeth again. "Eight Yuan!"
There were a total of 20 pieces of West Ocean Mystic Ice …
Seeing the relief on Premier Xia's face, Premier Lu continued immediately, "This gift has no other meaning but to thank you for taking good care of my Crown Prince. However, the Crown Prince has been living in East Ocean for a long time, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. If his injuries are stable, I hope to take him back to West Ocean to heal."
He avoided the topic of Oldman Zeng breaking into the Dragon Palace, acting as if the unpleasant things had never happened.
20 pieces of West Ocean Mystic Ice was the bottom line that Oldman Zeng gave him. In addition to the many rare treasures, West Ocean was willing to pay a huge price for Zeng Yitao.
"Prime Minister Lu, please wait for a moment. I'll discuss it with the elders and give you a reply. If it's just a thank-you gift, it's not a big problem. "Premier Xia took the opportunity to change his mind.
Zhao Guang had ordered him to shut the door and stall for three days.
The more anxious West Ocean was and the lower their bottom line was, the more it proved that West Ocean was really asking for peace. The fact that West Ocean was willing to hand over 20 pieces of West Ocean Mystic Ice as a strategic resource meant that they were anxious.
After returning to the Dragon Palace, Premier Xia explained West Ocean's conditions to Zhao Guang, and Zhao Guang finally nodded. "Release them!"
"Yes!" Premier Xia hurried out of the palace and went to the back of the palace to release Zeng Yitao with Zhao Guang's verbal order.
East Ocean and West Ocean hadn't officially declared war yet, but East Ocean was still holding the Crown Prince, which was troublesome. It was a good deal to trade a large number of treasures and 20 pieces of West Ocean Mystic Ice for this troublesome matter.
However, Premier Xia couldn't understand why Oldman Zeng suddenly became so soft after he broke into the Dragon Palace and took away 16 elders by force a few days ago.
He thought about it and realized that no one in the East Ocean Dragon Palace could change the situation. The only variable in the entire East Ocean Dragon Palace was Hao Ren, the newest Fuma.
Premier Xia knew that it was Hao Ren who took Zeng Yitao down when he was under house arrest and insulted Hao Ren all day long.
Obviously, the 16 elders had fallen into the ocean as well, and it was also Hao Ren's doing.
Hao Ren was able to force Qin Shaoyang to retreat at Zhao Yanzi's birthday party, win the favor of Inspector Su Han, and absorb the last small wave of lightning energy when Zhao Kuo was going through the Heavenly Tribulation.
From Premier Xia's point of view, this Fuma had brought too many surprises to them.
Even when Zhao Kuo left the Dragon Palace to train, he said, "Keep a close eye on Hao Ren! I'll have to rely on him to break through to the Heavenly Dragon Realm! "
"The Dragon King indeed has a sharp eye for talent …" Premier Xia smiled as he walked.
Zeng Yitao, who lived in the Dragon Palace and ate plain food every day, had a bad temper. He started yelling as soon as he walked out of the palace.
"East Ocean Dragon Palace! How dare you lock me up! One day, I'll tear down your palaces! "
"My grandpa will lead thousands of soldiers and trample you to the ground!"
"You feed me these crappy things every day! Pooh! "
Zeng Yitao pointed at Hao Ren as he walked, cursing out all the resentment he had accumulated in the past few days.
The royal guards patrolling in the Dragon Palace were angry at Zeng Yitao's arrogance, but they had to suppress their anger when they saw Premier Xia accompanying him.
"Who is it? It's so noisy! So noisy! "
Little Daoist Zhen, who was picking herbs in the Flower Palace nearby, couldn't help but jump out.
A few days ago, he was slapped by Oldman Zeng, and the mark on his face had finally faded. He came to the Flower Palace to pick some herbs to reduce swelling, planning to go to the West Ocean Dragon Palace later to get back at the 'old bastard'.
However, he didn't expect to run into the 'little bastard' of the West Ocean Dragon Palace who was released.
"Where did this little bastard come from? How dare you stop me! " Zeng Yitao was furious, and he was no match for Premier Xia who was standing beside him. When he saw Little Daoist Zhen's face, he felt disgusted and immediately lifted his leg.
Bang!
Caught off guard, Little Daoist Zhen was kicked in the chest, and he fell backward. He slid half a meter on the stone path of the Dragon Palace, and the herbs in his hand were thrown away.
Premier Xia didn't expect Zeng Yitao to be so vicious, and he didn't think of stopping Little Daoist Zhen. Seeing this scene, he was dumbfounded.
Little Daoist Zhen was Qiu Niu's disciple. Although he had only been a fire-keeping boy for the past 100 years, as Qiu Niu's direct disciple, his status was quite high!
Little Daoist Zhen, on the other hand, was a demon beast. He had transformed into a human 100 years ago and started cultivating from the beginning. Although he looked powerful, he was only at Li-level!
Qiu Niu hadn't taught Little Daoist Zhen any techniques and told him to focus on making elixir pills and dharma treasures. That was because the ancestral master of the Dragon Tribe didn't think that his disciple would be bullied by others!
When Little Daoist Zhen was about to get up, Zeng Yitao stepped forward and kicked him again. "How dare you!"
