Tang Dynasty's main city, Chang 'an.
In the main hall of the imperial palace, Lord Taizong Li Weichen and Imperial Preceptor Fu Jing were talking face to face.
Because the matter was confidential, the other attendants and guards had been dismissed. At this time, only Li Weichen and Fu Jing were in the main hall.
Li Weichen, the Lord of Tang Dynasty, was wearing a crown and a bright yellow dragon robe as he sat on the Dragon Throne. Below him were nine levels of jade stairs, distancing himself from the position of the 'officials' to show the majesty of the royal family.
Li Weichen was not the first lord of the Tang Territory. He had taken over the foundation of the Tang Territory from his father.
The scale of the Tang Dynasty was comparable to a medium-sized vassal state in ancient times.
As a Lord, if he wanted to call himself an emperor behind closed doors, the laws of Earth would not be able to stop him.
And the people, including the people of the Evolvers, would definitely cooperate with him, because those who complied with the 'emperor' would receive many additional benefits from the Lord. Over time, such a scene of the Lord and his subjects worshipping each other was not strange in the Tang Dynasty.
As for the Evolvers who were not used to this, they had long left the Tang Dynasty and went to other places.
Fortunately, there were not many second-generation Lords like Li Weichen who liked to dream of being an emperor. Moreover, Li Weichen only put on the airs of an emperor when he was in the territory. Outside the territory, he would not be so pretentious.
"Imperial Preceptor, why did you come to see me?" Li Weichen asked.
Fu Jing first told him everything about Xu Geng and Li Feng asking him for help and wanting to do a divination.
Then, Fu Jing said, "Your Majesty, I already know the purpose of Xu Geng and Li Feng's request for a divination. He should be unwilling to accept the failure of the Resentment Banner mission."
Li Weichen nodded and said with a frown, "Li Feng, I have already given him a chance, but he was useless. Collecting the twelve Resentment Banners is the most important matter of the dynasty. After this setback, the plan that I made with the Imperial Preceptor will have to be postponed. "
Fu Jing said, "Your Majesty, what I want to report is not this matter, but the person that Li Feng is looking for."
As he spoke, Fu Jing activated the camera crystal again, and Bai Xiaowen's 3D image appeared.
"Your Majesty, this subject saw that this person's appearance was strange and tried to divine, but I found that there were many obstacles. It was like a mess, and there was no way to divine at all! Such a fate, such a face, he's definitely not an ordinary person. "
Li Weichen was getting impatient. "State Preceptor, if you have something to say, just say it."
Fu Jing quickly said, "Your Majesty, I suspect that this person is the new Xijiang Feudal Lord you are looking for — Lu Wang! Because at that time, when I relied on the two names of Xijiang Hill and Lv Wang, I also felt that there were many obstacles and I had no clue. "
Li Weichen frowned and said, "There should be a lot of people you can't divine, right?"
Fu Jing wasn't angry and said, "There are many people that I can't divine, but for a Level-11 Evolver like this, I can't divine … unless he's a Lord."
Li Weichen's interest was piqued. He stroked his chin and said, "If that's the case, Lu Wang is the one who appeared in the Shaoling plane and ruined the plan of our Great Tang."
Fu Jing said, "Yes, I have other evidence. Your Majesty, please think about it. At the time when this person and Li Feng met in the Shaoling plane, Xijiang Feudal Lord Lu Wang had never appeared in the Blue Star Feudal Lord Group, right?"
Li Weichen nodded slightly. "That's right. Lu Wang sent a message in the Feudal Lord Group again after a month to buy a kind of Five Elements treasure … He must have accumulated enough Spirit Crystals to open the territory's array. Indirectly, it's very likely that he just returned from the Spiritual Realm with a full load."
Li Weichen knew that "Lu Wang" didn't join any organization or rely on any territory. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked to buy treasures in the Feudal Lord Group.
And a new Feudal Lord certainly didn't have many starting Spirit Crystals, not to mention opening a plane portal.
So Lu Wang must have been to the Spiritual Realm!
"This is a good opportunity …" Li Weichen narrowed his eyes and said, "Unfortunately, it can't be used as a reasonable excuse for war."
Fu Jing nodded. "Things like the Banner of Resentment are indeed not suitable to be publicized on a large scale."
Li Weichen said, "In short, I'll first sound out Lu Wang's tone and put a little pressure on him."
Then, Li Weichen said meaningfully, "After all, our Great Tang Territory is one of the oldest territories closest to Xijiang Territory …"
…
White Phoenix Territory.
On a wooden bed in the palace, on a straw mat, Bai Xiaowen had just finished cultivating when he received a notification.
"'Taizong- Tang' from the Blue Star Feudal Lord Group requests to have a private conversation with you. Do you agree?"
Bai Xiaowen's brows suddenly furrowed.
"What's going to come will come, but … the speed of it coming is a little faster than I expected."
Bai Xiaowen chose to agree.
[Taizong- Tang: Little Brother Lu Wang, how's the territory's development recently?]
[Lu Wang - Xijiang: Thank you for your concern. Everything's fine. What's the matter, Taizong?]
[Taizong- Tang: Oh, hehehe … Little Brother Lu Wang, there's something you're not doing right.]
Bai Xiaowen played dumb. "What's the matter?"
[Taizong- Tang: In front of a sensible person, Little Brother Lu Wang, don't play dumb. I have enough evidence to prove that you're the one who met Li Feng in Shao Territory and ruined our Tang Territory's plan to collect Resentment Banner! You've caused me to suffer a great loss.]
Bai Xiaowen denied. "You must be mistaken. I've never heard of Shao Territory, and I don't know Li Feng. "
[Taizong- Tang: Hehe, Lu Wang, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, I know what I'm doing. I wonder how you're going to compensate the Tang Territory for its loss? Even if you compensate me with all your initial Spirit Crystals, it'll only be a fraction.]
Bai Xiaowen still refused to admit it.
[Taizong- Tang: Lu Wang, you've disappointed me. This is the first time I've seen such an irresponsible lord.]
Bai Xiaowen replied coldly, "You really don't know what you're talking about. If you have evidence, show it." He was already convinced that Tang Territory would not be able to produce any strong evidence. He was just speculating from some clues.
[Taizong- Tang: Hehe, Lu Wang, I didn't want to lower myself to your level, but you've successfully angered me! Aren't you worried that your Xijiang Territory will be trampled by me and you'll become a wandering lord?]
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. This was the first time he had encountered war blackmail since he entered the world of evolvers.
In the face of blackmail, it was useless to compromise. He could only fight back with a more unyielding attitude.
"Don't say these useless things. If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. You're just looking for an excuse. I'll take whatever tricks you have! Why, do you want to declare war in the group of lords? "
Bai Xiaowen was sure that Tang Territory would not dare to bring the matter of the Resentment Banner to the surface.
[Taizong- Tang: Hehe, Lu Wang, do you think that the coordinates of Xijiang Territory are very secret and I can't do anything to you?]
