The emperor of Zhou State still came in the end.
Today was the birthday banquet of the Yun Residence. The emperor of Zhou State did not personally attend because he wanted to give the Yun Residence the cold shoulder.
However, the emperor of Zhou State ordered people to keep an eye on the Yun Residence.
In just a few Hours, the name list and background of every guest who entered the Yun Residence appeared in the imperial study of the emperor of Zhou State.
However, who would have thought that such an ordinary birthday banquet would cause such a huge uproar?
The mixed forces of various worlds even led to a war. This was something that the emperor of Zhou State did not expect.
As soon as the emperor of Zhou State appeared, the Yun Residence was immediately surrounded. Countless crossbows and imperial mages were lying in ambush in the dark. As long as the emperor of Zhou State gave the order, no one in the Yun Residence would be able to escape.
The emperor of Zhou State was dressed in a bright yellow imperial robe. He walked with a majestic gait and his aura was unparalleled.
"Long live the emperor." Thunderous cheers came from both inside and outside the Yun Residence.
However, the Dark Prince and the others stood calmly.
The emperor of Zhou State could not help but show some anger on his face.
His anger was not only directed at the Dark Crown Prince and the others, it was also directed at Yun Canglang and the others.
The purple gold mine was divided into two. He originally thought that half of it had fallen into Tang Yuan's hands. However, after hearing the Dark Prince's words, the whereabouts of the ore were unknown.
The emperor of Zhou State's first suspect was the Sky Hunting Corps.
"What exactly is going on? Yun Canglang, Yan Yun! I have already given you full authority over the purple gold mine. Could it be that you dare to deceive the emperor and embezzle the purple gold mine without permission?! "The emperor of Zhou State was furious.
Yun Canglang was speechless. Seeing this, Yun Sheng walked out calmly.
In front of nearly a thousand people in the Yun Residence, Yun Sheng was calm and said in a crisp voice, "Your Majesty is wise. The Sky Hunting Corps is loyal to Zhou State. The sun and moon can bear witness. Our Hunting Corps is just a newly established Hunting Corps, even with all of our elites, we only have a few dozen Hunters. When they entered the mine that day, for the sake of the safety of the villagers, all of them participated in the rescue. Where would they find the manpower to plunder the remaining ores? If the Emperor did not believe it, he could ask the villagers in the mining area and the border guards. If His Majesty still did not believe it, he could ask the Young City Lord of Grand Emperor City. He was also in the mining area that day. If there is a single lie, my Heavenly Extermination Hunting Corps will be at His Majesty's mercy. "
When the Zhou Zhou State's Emperor heard this, he realized that with the size and numbers of the Heaven Hunting Army, it was impossible for them to kill hundreds of Tang Yuan's mages at the same time.
"Is this the Young City Lord of Grand Emperor City? May I ask if you noticed anything suspicious about the Heaven Extermination Hunting Corps that day? "The Zhou State Emperor was unable to find a witness for the time being, but Xuan Wuji was a ready-made witness.
Xuan Wuji did not expect that Yun Sheng would suddenly change the topic to him. "This Young City Lord did not pay attention."
"Did Young City Lord really not pay attention or was he pretending not to? Or did Young City Lord have other plans at that time? For example, secretly sneaking in and stealing the remaining ores?" Yun Sheng's voice was stern as she suddenly questioned Xuan Wuji.
She already knew that Xuan Wuji harbored evil intentions in the Jade Capital, but she did not expect him to be in hiding for so long and actually act together with the Later Qin's Hidden Prince.
When Yun Sheng said this, the Zhou State's Emperor and the Hidden Prince could not help but become suspicious.
The Heaven Extermination Hunting Corps did not have the strength to act on both sides, but it was different if it was the Grand Emperor City.
With the thousands of years of foundation of the Grand Emperor City, it was not impossible for them to find out the location of the ore vein and secretly rob it.
Xuan Wuji almost cursed out loud. He pointed at Yun Sheng and said, "Yan Yun, you are slandering us. My Grand Emperor City has never plundered a single piece of purple gold ore! What are your intentions for slandering my Grand Emperor City! "
"Enough!" The Hidden Prince's cold eyes narrowed, appearing very impatient. He was not here to listen to a confrontation. "No matter who stole the remaining purple gold ore, the Zhou State and Tang Yuan broke the alliance first. My Later Qin must have a share of the loot. Since the Zhou State's Emperor has personally come, then this Crown Prince will ask one thing. Is Zhou State handing over the ore or not?! "
When had the Zhou State's Emperor been questioned like this? Even if the Later Qin's Emperor personally came, the Zhou State's Emperor might not lower his voice. He was immediately enraged. "Dugu Xiu, you are only the Later Qin's Crown Prince. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with this Emperor?!"
"With the two hundred thousand allied troops of my Later Qin and Tang Yuan, we have already arrived at the southern border of Zhou State. If the Zhou State's Emperor is not willing to hand over the ore, we must fight this battle!"
Two hundred thousand troops!
The Zhou State's Emperor's heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he couldn't help but panic.
In these years, the Zhou State's generals had withered, and Yun Canglang had just resigned from the military. If this battle really started, the Zhou State wouldn't be fully prepared. Tang Yuan and the Later Qin's soldiers would be like wolves and tigers. The possibility of victory was extremely low.
Thinking of this, the Zhou State's Emperor's expression softened. He was an ingrate and knew how to observe people's expressions. He was like this when he was a Prince, and he was still like this now.
"Hidden Prince, there must be a misunderstanding. If you don't believe me, I can order someone to take you to the smelter to check. My Zhou State really only obtained a quarter of the purple gold ore."
The Zhou State's Emperor's words were already filled with anxiety.
When the Zhou State's officials saw this, including Yun Bahe and the others, they all felt dissatisfied.
In the eyes of the generals, the Zhou State's Emperor's humble appearance could be said to be extremely cowardly.
Yun Sheng couldn't understand. She faintly felt that the whole thing was very wrong. Could it be that after those mysterious people used the magic array to transfer the purple gold ore, something else happened?
Thinking of the magic array in the mining area that suddenly lost its effect overnight, it seemed that this matter was really a bit strange.
Yun Sheng's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Ye Beiming, only to see him smiling and throwing her a coquettish glance.
Could it be?
"Your Highness, why don't you listen to this official's words?" Tian Quezi, who hadn't spoken since he entered the room, suddenly spoke at this time.
"Master Tian, if you have something to say, just say it." The Hidden Prince was still very respectful towards Tian Quezi.
Tian Quezi was the Later Qin's Martial Saint. In Later Qin, he was the head of the Later Qin's number one martial arts hall, the Seven Stars Martial Arts Hall. When the Hidden Prince was young, he had learned combat skills in the Seven Stars Martial Arts Hall.
"This official thinks that when the three countries fought, blood would flow like rivers and the people would be plunged into misery and suffering. Later Qin, Zhou State, and Tang Yuan eight years ago, for the sake of that purple gold ore vein, the border area was filled with starving people. Every time this official thinks of that miserable scene, this official feels endless heartache. " Tian Quezi's voice was full of emotion. From his appearance, it seemed that he wasn't a martial artist, but a great scholar who worried about the country and the people.
Yun Bahe cursed in his heart as he listened. Tian Quezi had a good reputation outside, but he was actually a hypocrite.
Yun Bahe despised people like him the most.
However, his rash words already vaguely made Yun Bahe have a bad feeling.
