The Zhuang Emperor, Zhuang Gaoxian, personally came to the Clear River Underwater Residence!
In just a few words, the Zhuang State's prime minister, the Clear River Water Lord, and the Zhuang State's emperor all arrived.
This was the highest level of the Zhuang State.
The three people standing here could be said to be the strongest in the entire Zhuang State. The fate of the Zhuang State was in their hands.
The Water Clan soldiers guarding the entrance of the underwater residence were already weak in the knees. They looked straight ahead, wishing they could block their ears to prevent hearing anything they shouldn't.
Among the three, the Clear River Water Lord, Song Hengjiang, looked the oldest. His face was wrinkled, and his hair was white.
Although the Zhuang State's prime minister, Du Ruhui, looked old, his hair was as black as ink, and his vitality was strong.
The Zhuang Emperor, Zhuang Gaoxian, looked the youngest. He looked like a middle-aged man.
At this moment, he was wearing casual clothes. His aura was restrained, and his appearance was rather ordinary. However, the majestic aura he exuded was far beyond what normal people could imagine.
He was indeed the youngest among the three.
However, he was the strongest one!
Especially when he had just killed the ambitious Han Yin, who had controlled the Yong State for hundreds of years. There was no need for words to kill a real person. Just by standing there, he was like a towering mountain and a flowing river.
However, Song Hengjiang didn't show any signs of weakness at this moment. Instead, he waved his sleeves and said with a majestic aura, "May I ask what identity you are using to come to my Clear River Underwater Residence today?"
After the Zhuang Emperor appeared, Du Ruhui restrained his aura and kept quiet.
In private, he would often point out Zhuang Gaoxian's problems. However, in front of others, he was always the one who protected the Zhuang Emperor's dignity the most.
This was because protecting the Zhuang Emperor's dignity was protecting the Zhuang State's dignity. Protecting the Zhuang Emperor's dignity was protecting the Zhuang State's dignity.
Zhuang Gaoxian stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Regardless of today, tomorrow, or yesterday, I only have one identity, and that is the Master of the Zhuang State."
These words were too cold and domineering.
It was like he had cleared up all his private relationships with the Clear River Underwater Residence. He only used his identity as a subject and forced Song Hengjiang to be his subject.
This was because he claimed to be the Master of the Zhuang State. According to the Founding Treaty, the Clear River Water Lord was the Water Lord and not the subject!
Song Hengjiang was still hunched over, but his slightly murky eyes stared at Zhuang Gaoxian without the slightest fear or evasion.
"How can the ruler of a country be without manners? How can the ruler of the land be so rude? "
He abruptly turned his head and looked at Du Ruhui. "Prime Minister Du! You are the teacher of the Son of Heaven, I have a question for you! "
He was like an enraged old beast, his whiskers shaking. "The Son of Heaven arrived without announcing it, and reprimanded without informing me. Is this true?"
Du Ruhui was silent for a moment before he shook his head. "No."
Song Hengjiang then looked at Zhuang Gaoxian, "What would the Emperor teach me?"
Zhuang Gaoxian stared at the old man for a while, as if only now did he remember how he had bathed the Lan River in blood back then, sharing enough pressure for Zhuang Chengqian and helping Zhuang Chengqian establish his country.
It was as if he had just remembered his dignity and pride.
Finally, he said, "I was rude."
He had just won Zhuang Yong's Kingdom War, defeating an opponent that even the founding ancestor couldn't defeat. His reputation had reached an unprecedented peak.
Under such circumstances, being willing to apologize to Song Hengjiang was already giving him enough face.
The key reason was that Song Hengjiang had taken a step back.
Song Hengjiang's words just now seemed to be going head-to-head, not showing any signs of weakness, but it was extremely appropriate. While he was scolding Zhuang Gaoxian, in reality, he had already acknowledged Zhuang Gaoxian's identity as the ruler of the Zhuang territory, and that the Qingjiang Water Tribe was under his rule.
This Qingjiang Water Lord obviously knew the bottom line of the Emperor and Prime Minister in front of him.
"If that's the case, then please return," Song Hengjiang said. "I am sick, so forgive me for not being able to serve you for long."
This was actually acknowledging Zhuang Gaoxian's rule over the eight hundred miles of Qingjiang as a condition for him to give up on searching the Qingjiang Water House.
Zhuang Gaoxian didn't look at Du Ruhui, and he didn't ask for the Prime Minister's opinion because he was the true ruler of the Zhuang territory.
He shook his head lightly. "Prime Minister Dong has the country on his shoulders, and his death can't be silent. Water Lord, I promise you as the Son of Heaven that I am only here to arrest the culprit, nothing else. "
Zhuang Gaoxian rejected him!
Song Hengjiang's problem was that he didn't know that Du Ruhui was really here to arrest the culprit, and Zhuang Gaoxian's personal arrival wasn't to suppress the Qingjiang Water House. He didn't know that the culprit who killed Dong A was related to the truth behind the destruction of the Maplewood region, and that the culprit could be a survivor of the Maplewood region. Zhuang Gaoxian watched as the White Bone Path wreaked havoc, and he didn't know the truth about exchanging the people of the city for the White Bone Vital Elixir.
To Zhuang Gaoxian, the Qingjiang Water House had already been clear for him. Eight hundred miles of Qing River had long been in his pocket. He admitted that Song Hengjiang had made a concession, but he didn't think that this concession was very rare.
Both parties' knowledge, thoughts, and judgments were different, and thus, they couldn't reach an agreement.
Song Hengjiang didn't know the reason behind it, but it didn't stop him from seeing Zhuang Gaoxian's attitude.
At this time, he calmed down and asked slowly, "Are you sure you want to search the Qingjiang Water House today? Are you sure you want to trample on the reputation of the Qingjiang Water Tribe? "
"Your Majesty coming to search the Water House is a show of respect to the Water God and the Qingjiang Water Tribe!" Du Ruhui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
He obviously understood Song Hengjiang's temper, and he also understood Zhuang Gaoxian. Seeing that the situation was going to turn ugly, he immediately stood out to mediate.
"Deputy Minister Dong's death concerns the honor of the country, and we can't ignore it. But the Water God is a hero, who is fit to search the Water God's residence? Even I don't have the right. That culprit must have seen this point, and that's why he sneaked into the Water House. Your Majesty coming here isn't to investigate the Water God, but to gain the trust of the world. Your Majesty coming here is a show of respect to you, and the Water God must know this! "
His words were flawless, and he gave Song Hengjiang enough face, and no one could refute him.
Song Hengjiang didn't seem to have a reason to reject him.
But he only took a step forward and stood closer to Zhuang Gaoxian.
"When Zhuang Chengqian was still here, he never brought a single soldier to my residence, and he always treated me like a younger brother, and he never had an arrogant attitude. Now that the country has changed, talents are coming out, and the new generation is replacing the old. He opened his mouth and wanted to search my residence. Very good! "
His hunched body slowly straightened, and his aura shot up into the sky. He was like a sleeping demon that was awakened, and he opened his eyes to kill!
"I am the Lord of Qingjiang, and I can be killed, but not humiliated. If you really want to do this … Come! "
He spread out his hands, and his aura was boundless. "Look at the blood of the Qingjiang Water Race, isn't it beautiful!"
He didn't look old at all!
The guards outside the Water House were all stunned. Originally, when the Water God and Zhuang Gaoxian were at each other's throats, they were already terrified.
Then, it seemed like they were about to finish talking, and the situation eased up, and their hearts slowly relaxed.
But they didn't expect the situation to change in just a few sentences.
Instantly, it was a life and death battle!
Even though they were terrified, they had the determination to die. They stood out one by one, and walked behind Song Hengjiang.
The bravery of the Qingjiang Water Race was recorded in history since ancient times!
