Great Zhen's war had begun in the netherworld. Meng Tian and Wang Jian's armies attacked Youshen and Hun Nu ferociously!
In the mortal realm, although Da Zhen hadn't sent out any troops, the ministers of the mortal realm weren't idle either.
Zhenlong Domain, Great Chu Sacred Court. Inside the palace.
Great Chu Sacred King, Chen Xiao, personally received Lu Buwei from Great Zhen's Sacred Court.
In a banquet hall, Chen Xiao sat in the main seat, surrounded by ministers. On the other side, Lu Buwei was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, sitting with several envoys from Great Zhen.
"Congratulations, Lord Lu, for being conferred the title of Great Zhen's Right Minister!" Chen Xiao raised his cup and smiled.
Lu Buwei raised his cup and smiled. "Right Minister? My position as the Right Minister is just an empty title! In Great Zhen, my achievements are far from enough! "
"Oh? What is a feint? "Chen Xiao asked with a hint of surprise.
"Great Zhen's Sacred Court must have the dignity of the Sacred Court. I am fortunate to be chosen by the ministers and recognized by the Sacred King as the Right Minister. Although I am a minister, my achievements are far from enough. I will slowly make up for it!" Lu Buwei said.
"Oh? Feint? Make up for it? It seems like Lord Lu is highly regarded by Yan Di! "Chen Xiao smiled.
After drinking, Lu Buwei smiled and said, "I dare not accept his praise. The merits that I owe him will eventually be repaid!"
"Oh?"
Lu Buwei smiled and looked at the officials who were attending the banquet. He then turned to look at Chen Xiao.
"Emperor Chen, what do you plan to do about the Sacred King's offer of a hundred years?" Lu Buwei smiled.
"Hmm?" Chen Xiao's face turned serious.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
In the past, when Great Zhen ascended, destroyed Zhou Tianshu, and defeated Sun Wukong, Yan Chuan announced that he would give the major forces a hundred years to retreat or submit.
It was extremely arrogant. However, in recent years, Yan Chuan had suddenly gone into hibernation, which puzzled everyone. Why did he bring it up again?
The fact that the Prime Minister of Da Zhen was an envoy meant that Yan Chuan attached great importance to him and was determined to win him over. Furthermore, Lu Buwei could even represent Yan Chuan fully at this moment.
"What does Yan Chuan mean?" Chen Xiao asked coldly.
"Hahaha, Emperor Chen, there is no need for that. I brought these people today!" Lu Buwei smiled.
Chen Xiao looked at the officials behind Lu Buwei, his expression extremely complicated.
"Lord Lu, Lord Lu, speak your mind!" Chen Xiao said..
"Alright, then I will say it. Chen Di, you can see that although your Great Chu's territory is vast, it is blocking my Great Zhen's path. You want to swallow Sun Wukong's former territory, but you don't want my Great Zhen to drink the soup. This territory was given to us by Sun Wukong!"
"Zhen Translation What?"
"Secondly, Emperor Chen, I'm sure you've sent people to investigate the background of my dynasty over the years. What do you think?" Lu Buwei smiled.
Chen '. Chen Xiao'
"How much is the difference between the Great Chu Sacred Court and our Great Zhen Sacred Court? .... Lu Lu Lu Lu.. ".. Zhen '
Chen Xiao's face darkened as Lu Buwei spoke.
Lu Buwei no longer remained seated. Instead, he carried the wine bottle and walked to the center of the hall.
"Emperor Chen, you might be thinking that Great Zhen is strong, but with so many heroes working together, you are nothing to worry about?" Lu Buwei smiled.
"That's right!" Chen Xiao nodded.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Buwei laughed.
Turning around, Lu Buwei looked at the group of people he had brought with him. There was a man with a veil covering his face.
"Lord Wu!" Lu Buwei smiled.
The man slowly took off his veil. Suddenly, a familiar face appeared.
"Ah!" Some of the officials cried out in surprise.
On the dragon throne, the wine bottle in Chen Xiao's hand trembled, nearly spilling the wine.
"Wu Wen? It's you? Zichuan's Prime Minister? "Chen Xiao exclaimed.
Apart from the Great Zhen Dynasty, there were four other factions in Zhenlong Domain: Great Chu, Great Tao, Zichuan, and Sea Dragon. As for Wu Wen, he was the sect master of the Purple River Dojo.
Yet, this Prime Minister had become Lu Buwei's subordinate?
This was Zichuan's Prime Minister, who was on equal footing with Chen Xiao! Why was he here?
Who did not understand? Zichuan's Prime Minister had submitted to Great Zhen, and the Vertical Alliance had collapsed?
"Emperor Chen, Lord Wu and I will toast you," Lu Buwei said with a smile.
"Emperor Chen, I'll drink first!" Wu Wen said with a smile.
The two of them downed the wine in the bottle.
Chen Xiao drank the wine, but he could not calm down. Chen Xiao was not the only one. All the officials in the hall were terrified.
Vertical Alliance? How was that possible?
"What's wrong, Wu Wen? Why did you submit to Great Zhen? "Chen Xiao asked in disbelief.
"Hahaha, Emperor Chen, Lord Wu didn't have to tell you that he chose Great Zhen!" Lu Buwei said with a smile.
"Hm?" Chen Xiao's face darkened.
The officials also had ugly expressions.
"The Great Chu Sacred Court was established by Emperor Chen, and it took a lot of effort. Haha, it is very difficult to give it up. I understand that, but sometimes, you have to give it up. Originally, I was not the one who came on this mission. It would have been best if External Minister Zhang Yi, the commander of Great Zhen's seventh army, could have come. However, I have some karma with Great Chu, so the Sacred King sent me! "Lu Buwei said with a smile.
"Oh?"
"Five thousand years ago, I worked together with all of you. One-third of Great Chu's territory was conquered by me through the trade route!" Lu Buwei said with a faint smile.
"What?"
"What a joke!"
"Is Lu Buwei crazy?"
…
…
…
The officials were in disbelief, but Chen Xiao's pupils constricted.
"Lu Shang? You are Lu Shang? "Chen Xiao's expression changed.
Lu Shang was a great merchant who suddenly appeared in Great Chu's territory five thousand years ago. His cultivation was not high, but his means were outstanding. In a short ten years, his wealth was enough to buy a city.
After that, he worked hard for Great Chu. In the following five thousand years, Lu Shang focused on nurturing the hostages sent by the various dynasties and Holy Lands. He used these hostages to seize control of the dynasties and Holy Lands. In a short five thousand years, Great Chu's territory increased by one-third.
However, just as Chen Xiao was about to give Lu Shang an official title, Lu Shang suddenly disappeared.
In these five thousand years, Lu Shang helped Great Chu for free, but he never accepted an official title. He never lost to the emperor.
In Great Chu, countless officials were extremely respectful to him. Many of them were even recommended by Lu Shang. A large number of officials were even Lu Shang's former guests.
These officials submitted to Lu Shang's courage. Lu Shang disappeared, but as long as he appeared, he could gather a large number of officials in the blink of an eye.
The countless officials in the hall were already in an uproar.
Lu Shang? How could this be? How could that proud and lofty character be Lu Buwei?
"You … you are Lu Shang? What evidence do you have? "Chen Di said with an unsightly expression.
"What was the name of my merchant association in the past?" Lu Buwei asked with a smile.
"The Buwei Merchant Association and the Dao Qiu Merchant Association," Chen Di said in shock.
"Lu Buwei, Kong Daoqiu? You should have found out that I used this name five thousand years ago. Also, everyone, one-third of the officials here were my former guests. Do you still remember my Lu Shang's Spring and Autumn Annals? "Lu Buwei took out a bamboo slip and laughed loudly.
The officials immediately panicked.
"Greetings, Sect Master!" Many officials suddenly bowed.
Back then, Lu Shang had a keen eye for talent. When many people were at their poorest, Lu Shang sent people to find them and give them the greatest help. It could be said to be a grace of rebirth. Hence, they bowed respectfully to Lu Buwei.
When Chen Xiao saw that his officials were bowing to Lu Buwei, his expression turned even uglier.
"Five thousand years ago, your consciousness entered this world? Then, you possessed Lu Shang. Why? Why are you funding my Great Chu? "Chen Xiao asked sullenly.
"Hahaha, Emperor Chen, you must have forgotten. I made it very clear just now. My position as Great Zhen's Right Minister is illusory. Have you forgotten? "Lu Buwei said with a smile.
Chen Xiao's hair stood on end. He instantly understood.
"You, you did it for Great Zhen? When Great Zhen ascends, it must conquer the world. You started planning five thousand years ago? You didn't do it for my Great Chu, but for Great Zhen. Five thousand years ago, you began to merge the original Ten Heavenly Dynasties and Eight Sacred Lands. You started planning then? Merge with my Great Chu, and my Great Chu won't get one-third of the territory, but rather, we will help you guard this territory? You can take it back at any time? "Chen Xiao's back broke out in cold sweat.
It was not just Chen Xiao. Many officials in the hall broke out in cold sweat at this thought.
Lu Buwei flung his sleeve and placed it behind his back. A trace of smugness flashed in his eyes as he said, "Emperor Chen, you finally figured it out?"
"You!" Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold.
"What? You want to kill me? Hahahaha! Emperor Chen, you can't kill me with your ability. Since I dared to come, I naturally have a way to leave. As for your cities, my two merchant associations will continue to control them. As long as I give the order, one-third of your Great Chu's territory will immediately belong to Great Zhen! "Lu Buwei shouted.
Chen Xiao trembled in anger as he clutched the wine bottle.
"It's not just the cities. I can even take away one-third of the officials in this hall. Do you believe me?" Lu Buwei said sullenly.
The moment Lu Buwei said that, the officials in the hall immediately became suspicious. They kept looking to see which of their colleagues was the traitor.
"Good, good, good. Lu Buwei, Yan Chuan, it turns out that you have been targeting my Great Chu since five thousand years ago!" Chen Xiao said angrily.
"We are not targeting your Great Chu. Emperor Chen, you are not qualified to own True Dragon Territory. The entire True Dragon Territory will belong to my Great Zhen Holy Court, and even the Great Zhen Heavenly Court in the future," Lu Buwei said sullenly.
"The Heavenly Court?" Chen Xiao's expression changed. He did not expect Yan Chuan to be so ambitious.
"Emperor Chen, there will be no place for you in True Dragon Territory. Each territory is controlled by a Dao God. You will not be able to do much. You are indeed talented, but you are much weaker than me, let alone the Sacred King," Lu Buwei said sullenly.
"I don't believe it. Lu Buwei, you are deluding us!" Chen Xiao shouted angrily. He was about to attack.
Wu Wen was about to step forward.
"Lord Wu, don't interfere!" Lu Buwei said sullenly.
Then, Lu Buwei struck out with his palm.
"Boom!"
A beam of golden light shot into the sky from the hall.
On this day, the Great Chu Imperial Palace was in chaos.
The golden light shrouded the entire palace for three days and three nights.
Three days later. The golden light slowly disappeared.
No one knew what had happened during these three days. The surrounding officials were unconscious on the ground. In the banquet hall, only three people were awake. Chen Xiao, Lu Buwei, and Wu Wen.
Chen Xiao took off his dragon robe. A look of confusion appeared on his face. Lu Buwei stood at the side.
Chen Xiao looked at Lu Buwei. After a long while, the confusion in his eyes slowly turned into determination.
"Chen Xiao, I, Lu Buwei, will personally recommend you. What are you worried about?" Lu Buwei said with a smile.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and nodded. Then, he suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "People of Great Chu!"
"Boom!"
The Sea of Providence shook violently, and the sound spread throughout Great Chu. Countless people looked up at the sky in confusion.
"From today onward, the Great Chu Sacred Court will submit to the Great Zhen Sacred Court and worship the Great Zhen Sacred King. Long live the Great Zhen Sacred King!" Chen Xiao shouted.
"Hong ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"
The sky of Great Chu collapsed. The people, officials, and soldiers all screamed in shock.
What was going on? The Sacred King had submitted?
Countless City Lords quickly flew out of their cities and headed to the capital to ask the Sacred King about this unbelievable thing.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Buwei laughed arrogantly in the imperial city.
PS: Some people might say that this is too much, but Guan Qi emphasized that the emperor and minister of Great Zhen who had recovered their memories were just that awesome. Of course! Otherwise, they would be at a disadvantage!
