"The Kingdom of Xiaohai is really despicable. Whether it's the incident in Blue Heart City or Luo Shui City, it's obvious that the mastermind is behind all this. However, they indiscriminately identified Dragonhawk as the culprit. They're clearly looking for an excuse to start a war with Dragonhawk, "Elder Huai thought angrily as he sat in a room in the courtyard.
However, all of them were brimming with battle intent when they were in the main hall, as if this battle was inevitable.
"No, the King is still waiting for my good news. If I fail this time, it will definitely be a blow to the entire Dragonhawk Outer Dynasty.
At such a crucial time, whoever gets involved in the war will be the loser. It can be said that there are no winners in this war with Xiaohai Outer Dynasty.
Even if there are, it'll be those ambitious people around us! "Elder Huai continued to think.
He didn't understand what the King of Xiaohai Outer Dynasty was thinking. Why did he insist on starting this war? He didn't believe that the King of Xiaohai Outer Dynasty couldn't see the drawbacks behind this war. Even if the Kingdom of Xiaohai Outer Dynasty didn't end up as badly as Dragonhawk, he was sure that Xiaohai Outer Dynasty wouldn't end up well either.
Moreover, after Moro passed the news to Dragonhawk, their war with Xiaohai Outer Dynasty would be even more tragic. Moro would definitely have a backup plan. By then, the two Outer Dynasties might be wiped out in one fell swoop. That would be the most terrifying thing.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Elder Huai stayed in the courtyard and didn't go anywhere. Although the scenery of the Kingdom of Xiaohai Outer Dynasty was picturesque, he really wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.
Although he was very worried about Dragonhawk's situation, he couldn't think of a good way to solve the crisis of Dragonhawk during these three days.
However, no matter what, he had to meet the King of Xiaohai Outer Dynasty again today. Even if the outcome wasn't good, he had to find a way to convince the King of Xiaohai Outer Dynasty.
In the main hall!
"Elder Huai, have you gotten used to living in the Kingdom of Xiaohai Outer Dynasty for the past three days? Compared to Dragonhawk, Xiaohai Outer Dynasty isn't any worse, right? Did the servants neglect Elder Huai? "The King of Xiaohai Outer Dynasty looked at Elder Huai and smiled faintly.
Three days ago, they already had a plan in their hearts. At this moment, when they saw that no matter how well Elder Huai hid it, there was still a trace of worry in his eyes, and their hearts were even more delighted.
He also knew that this battle was crucial to Dragon Eagle. In fact, how could it not be important to Xiao Hai? However, just as Elder Xiao had said, the initiative was in Xiao Hai's hands this time. Even if he was worried about Xiao Hai's future, he couldn't show it.
"Thank you, Outer King, for your hospitality. I'm very used to staying here. The scenery of your esteemed dynasty is also extremely beautiful. If it wasn't for the fact that I have important matters to attend to, I really want to stay here for a few more days," Elder Huai said with a smile.
Although he was very worried about the safety of the Dragon Eagle, he also understood that there were some things that an envoy should pay attention to. No matter how worried he was about Long Ying, he couldn't show it in front of these people.
Otherwise, in the following negotiations, they would be at a disadvantage. This was a negotiation technique. No matter how passive the Dragon Eagle was and how disadvantageous the situation was for Long Ying, he had to maintain a high profile and make people feel that it didn't matter whether they talked or not.
"Elder Huai, if you like it here, you can stay here for a few more days," the Outer King said with a smile.
"Thank you, Outer King, for your kindness, but I'm really busy. Therefore, I'm here today to bid farewell to the Outer King and everyone!" Elder Huai said with cupped fists.
The Outer King and all the Elders present were shocked. They thought that Elder Huai would ask them to withdraw their troops again, but they didn't expect that Elder Huai would directly say that he wanted to leave. This caused everyone's hearts to be in a mess.
Could it be that the Dragon Eagle had compromised and intended to start a war with Xiao Hai?
When Elder Huai said this, he had been staring at the Outer King of Xiao Hai. However, when the Outer King of Xiao Hai was surprised, Elder Huai seemed to have seen some information.
In the Outer King of Xiao Hai's eyes, he saw surprise, nervousness, and panic. This made Elder Huai happy and puzzled at the same time.
It seemed that the Outer King of Xiao Hai wasn't as determined about this war as he thought. Could it be that the Outer King of Xiao Hai wasn't willing to start a war? Or perhaps there were other reasons?
At this moment, a glimmer of hope rose in Elder Huai's heart. However, he didn't intend to expose it directly because he saw that the Outer King of Xiao Hai was also enduring. In that case, it would depend on who could endure more.
"Elder Huai, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Elder Huai, you know that the war is imminent and I have many things to deal with. Therefore, I haven't been able to properly entertain you these few days. Why don't you stay for a few more days? I'll definitely entertain you personally! "The Outer King of Xiao Hai said to Elder Huai after a moment of silence.
Elder Huai, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, felt his heart tighten again when he heard that the Outer King of Xiao Hai was preparing for war. He didn't know if the Outer King of Xiao Hai was speaking the truth, but no matter what, he couldn't stay any longer.
The Outer King of Xiao Hai's words could even be regarded as a threat or a form of boasting.
Elder Huai's expression was a little ugly. He gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. Hence, he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Outer King, for your kind intentions. I've stayed here long enough and really don't have time to stay any longer. Once again, thank you, Outer King, for your hospitality. This old man shall take his leave.
We'll meet again in the future! "Elder Huai turned and left after he finished speaking. His determination was beyond everyone's expectations. This time, all of them were a little uneasy.
If they really let Elder Huai leave just like that, then wouldn't their plans fail?
However, seeing that Elder Huai was about to walk out of the hall, Elder Xiao also panicked. He knew very well that some things weren't suitable for the Outer King to say. Seeing the Outer King giving him a look, Elder Xiao hurriedly stood up.
"Elder Huai, wait!" Elder Xiao shouted hurriedly.
"Elder Xiao stopped me. Is there anything else?" Elder Huai turned around and said to Elder Xiao.
Actually, others saw that he was walking resolutely, but he was also very nervous in his heart. He was afraid that no one would stop him. Now that he heard Elder Xiao stop him, he heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. Perhaps the situation wasn't as bad as he thought.
"Elder Huai, you are here on behalf of Dragon Eagle to seek peace with us. If you leave just like that, wouldn't the entire Dragon Eagle be disappointed with you?" Elder Xiao looked at Elder Huai and said. "Elder Huai, you're right.
"Elder Xiao, you're wrong! This old man isn't here to seek peace. The Dragon Eagle Imperial Court has never been afraid of war. It's just that although we're all from the Outer King Court, we're still a family. Therefore, I don't wish for everyone to kill each other. At the same time, I'm also telling everyone that I hope everyone can see the current situation clearly. If we start a war, it'll be disadvantageous for both of us.
