Jiang Wang clenched his teeth and was about to leave quietly. Of course, once he moved, his aura would be exposed, but if he waited any longer, he would definitely die. He could only take this gamble and bet that Song Hengjiang would be immersed in reminiscence and ignore him.
But at this moment, the chattering in the inner cave suddenly stopped.
Then, an extremely terrifying aura exploded.
The old man in the inner cave immediately turned into a terrifying master.
Jiang Wang's heart beat violently. He almost wanted to escape, but his rationality was still there. He firmly controlled his limbs and made himself stay still.
If a master like the Water Lord of Qingjiang wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't need to act like this.
And he did make the right choice.
The aura disappeared in a flash, and Song Hengjiang had already disappeared in the cave.
…
…
When he was about to reach Qichang Mountain, Du Ruhui's figure suddenly stopped.
That aura had always been vague, sometimes not, so he only chased in a general direction. But it had been a long time since the aura disappeared, and he didn't sense it again.
The Heaven's Breathing Incantation stopped responding.
But the culprit must have existed, and he could still change, which meant that he didn't run too far.
Du Ruhui stepped out and arrived at the border of Zhuang and Cheng. He silently sensed for a while. Before the border defense general of Cheng braced himself and flew over, he turned and arrived at the border of Zhuang and Mo … and then Buyao City.
For a master like him to travel through the four realms, he would incite endless reactions, but he didn't care at all.
Zhuang used the newly won power of Yong to intimidate people in the four realms. It was completely feasible and should be done.
Du Ruhui quickly moved around the entire Zhuang territory. He seriously searched for the aura that disappeared, but he couldn't find it.
He stopped in the air and remained silent for a while.
He turned around and stepped back to the nameless green mountain. A tyrannical spiritual sense poured down, covering the entire hill.
Then, he turned his gaze and looked at the vast Qingjiang River.
He stepped out and arrived at the gate of the Water Palace.
The entire Qingjiang River seemed to shake slightly, and an old and dignified voice sounded. The Water Lord of Qingjiang, Song Hengjiang, stepped out of the palace gate. "Honored guest, what brings you here?"
"Water Lord, long time no see!"
When he saw Song Hengjiang appear, Du Ruhui immediately lowered his head and bowed.
Song Hengjiang and Zhuang Chengqian were sworn brothers back in the day. According to the agreement they made when the country was founded, the Water Lord of Qingjiang and Zhuang Chengqian should be on equal footing.
However, in the current Zhuang Country, other than Du Ruhui, there was probably no one else who would treat Song Hengjiang as a monarch.
Last year, Ji Xuan, the head of the Arrest Department in Qinghe County, dared to make a move in Qingjiang.
It was Song Hengjiang's domineering reply, forcing him to slap his own face. It was to strengthen his prestige.
However, after Zhuang Gaoxian ascended to Truth Cave, set up the Life Spirit Tablet in the Maple Forest Dead Zone, and paid a personal visit to the Water Manor, everything changed.
The surface of Qingjiang River was no longer a place of self-rule for the Aqua Tribe of Qingjiang River. The merchant ships of the Human Tribe could come and go as they pleased.
In the past, Song Hengjiang ruled eight hundred miles of Qing River, and his influence covered both sides of Qing River. Now, the Qing River Water Tribe had to admit that Zhuang Junzhuang and Zhuang Gaoxian had more sovereignty over Qing River than Song Hengjiang.
In reality, in many people's eyes, Song Hengjiang, the Water Lord of Qingjiang, was already on the same level as the Qinghe County Chief.
This time, Zhuang Gaoxian fought with all his might, and the Qing River Water Tribe sent out all their elite troops to join forces with the Luo Kingdom's navy to fight Beigong Yu at the Lan River.
As for Du Ruhui, he was the Minister of State, a top-notch Shenwang cultivator, and the biggest contributor to Zhuang Yong's war. However, he was not arrogant at all, and was still very respectful to Song Hengjiang.
There was no reason to pick on him.
However, Song Hengjiang was very clear that Du Ruhui's politeness was purely a form of cultivation. It was a strict requirement for himself as the Minister of State.
If he really respected Song Hengjiang, he would not have come without notice, and directly used his supernatural powers to step on the door of the Qing River Water Manor!
For people of their level to meet, there was no reason for them to suddenly appear without prior notice.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this step directly stepped on Song Hengjiang's boots.
"Minister of State Du."
At this moment, Song Hengjiang no longer looked as old as he did in the underground water cave. He was extremely tough and dignified. He asked the question again, "May I know why you are here?"
Du Ruhui's expression was also very serious. This showed that he was very serious about this trip.
"Dong A is dead," he said.
"Yes, the Vice Minister is dead." Song Hengjiang said, "The Commander of the White Feather Army, He Badao, is also dead. Our Qing River Water Tribe has suffered countless casualties, and we don't even have a name. Children have lost their fathers, wives have lost their husbands, and the elderly have lost their children. Do you think this is cruel? "
He looked at Du Ruhui with his turbid eyes, "But this is war."
He emphasized, "This is the war that you chose!"
Vice Minister Dong A was killed in Xin 'an City. Of course, he knew about this.
However, Du Ruhui specially came to tell him about this, which made him very angry.
Because this meant that he suspected that the Qing River Water Manor was related to Dong A's death!
However, in reality, from the beginning to the end, the Qing River Water Tribe had only sacrificed for the Zhuang Kingdom! From a few hundred years ago to a few hundred years later. When did Song Hengjiang ever stab someone in the back? If he wanted to stab someone in the back, he would have done so a few hundred years ago. How would Zhuang Chengqian have the chance to establish the country? The Zhuang Kingdom would not have existed! How would Du Ruhui have the chance to come here and point fingers?
The more important problem was that he had to consider whether Du Ruhui came here because he was misled and came to the wrong place, or did the Zhuang Kingdom want to get rid of him after he had outlived his usefulness?
"The important matters of the country lie in the sacrifice and war. Although war is cruel, attacking Yong is the trend of the times. It is also the only way forward for the Zhuang Kingdom, "Du Ruhui said lightly. He determined the nature of this war. Ignoring the casualties, he only talked about the meaning.
Then, he changed the topic, "But the death of the Vice Minister has nothing to do with war. I have chased after his murderer all this way. I did not mean to disturb you. Please forgive me, Water God. "
Song Hengjiang was so angry that he laughed, "In order to cooperate with your attack on Yong, the Qing River Water Tribe sent out all their elite troops. Even my son, Qing Yue, went to the battlefield. Tell me, who else among the Water Tribe that stayed in Qing River can kill Dong A? Is his Two World Ruler just a decoration? Is his Ceaseless Cycle gone? "
Seeing Song Hengjiang so agitated, Du Ruhui cupped his hands and explained, "The righteousness of the Water God is known to the world. How can I not know? I am not here to suspect the Qing River Water Manor. I am just worried that the evil person has sneaked into the manor and is up to no good … "
"Let's not talk about this nonsense." Song Hengjiang waved his hand and interrupted him. His voice was already very cold, "Minister Du, are you saying that you want to search my Qing River Water Manor?"
He was already very angry.
The Qing River Water Manor was to him what the Zhuang Palace was to Zhuang Gaoxian. No matter what reason or excuse, would he, Zhuang Gaoxian, be willing to let people search the Zhuang Palace?
To him, this was almost an insult!
Du Ruhui opened his mouth. His mind was full of reasons and trade-offs, but in the end, he could only sigh.
With his intelligence, of course, he knew that there was no way to discuss this matter properly. It would be unnecessary to waste his breath.
But no matter what, he would not let go of Dong A's murderer.
Therefore, after a sigh, he said seriously, "The Water God's dignity is not something that I can offend. If you insist on not allowing it, I can only ask His Majesty to make a decision. "
"Then ask him to come!" Song Hengjiang said angrily, "Let's see if the blood of the Qing River Water Tribe is enough to smear our dignity!"
The Water God of Qing River said this out of pride. It was more to protect the bottom line of the Qing River Water Manor.
But at this moment, a dignified voice rang in his ears.
"How can I trouble the Water God to invite me? I am already here! "
