The Second Prince and the Sixth Prince's faces were pale and they couldn't even stand straight. They thought that everything was perfect, but in the end, they were only other people's chess pieces and they were played around.
"That means Ming Yu, Guo Xing and the others should be under your control right?" Zong Lie asked again.
"That's right. Unfortunately, those young cultivators were released. But that's fine. Those officials are enough to control you."
"I only need to send thirty thousand troops into the land of treasures and safely take the treasures out. When the time comes, I will release them. Zong Lie, what do you think? "King Ao Sen gave his conditions.
After hearing that, King Zong Lie didn't immediately reply. He started to think. King Ao Sen didn't rush him and he just enjoyed the fragrance of the tea.
After a while, King Zong Lie spoke, "I'm a captured person right now. I'm afraid … I can't make the decision right?"
After hearing that, King Ao Sen revealed an expression of a smile yet not a smile. "It seems that I can't hide anything from you. Then, I'll help you take care of your family matters!" After speaking, he gave a signal to the people behind King Zong Lie.
Instantly, two of the seven peak Martial Lords that the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince brought with them subdued the two princes with one strike and they even had people tie them up.
"You dare to offend your superiors? Are you not afraid of being executed?" The Sixth Prince roared unwillingly.
The Second Prince let out a long sigh. "Sixth Brother, don't you understand? They are spies from the Great Ao Nation. Why would they be afraid of us? "
His voice was filled with endless desolation, regret, loneliness, and unwillingness.
"It's still the Second Prince who sees things clearly. When they surrounded me, I already had my suspicions. Although the seven of them were divided into two groups, they didn't use too much strength when they attacked. Moreover, they seemed to have some sort of tacit understanding."
"And from what Ao Sen said just now, Ming Yu, Guo Xing and the others you captured were already under his control. I no longer had any suspicions and I was very sure that the seven of them were sent by him. You can only blame yourselves for being blinded by greed and not being able to distinguish right from wrong. "
King Zong Lie looked at his two sons and said with exhaustion.
"Father, I know my wrongs. I only ask for death to atone for my sins."
The Second Prince said regretfully. The Sixth Prince also stood there without raising his head.
"Let's talk about it after this matter is settled," King Zong Lie said.
When the Ao Sen Emperor saw that the conversation was over, he happily clapped his hands.
"King Zong Lie is indeed extraordinary, to be able to deduce accurately from such a small detail, I am truly impressed. But … your sons are really …? "
He pretended to shake his head and said again, "Sigh, this is really disappointing. I hate iron for not becoming steel."
"Bullsh * t! If you have the ability, release us, Prime Minister Luo and General Guo, and have a fair fight with us!"
Zong Yuanhao said angrily. Then he turned to Zong Lie and said, "Father, if they dare to start a war, I am willing to lead the army."
Hearing this, Emperor Zong Lie nodded in satisfaction. Ao Sen also raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"Brat, although you speak without thinking and boast shamelessly, your courage is commendable. You have the demeanor of Emperor Zong Lie. I think highly of you, hahaha."
"Thank you for your praise, Emperor Ao Sen. Let's talk about what happened before," Emperor Zong Lie said.
"Talk? Didn't I already state my conditions? All you need to do is agree. "Ao Sen Monarch's expression changed as he spoke.
Emperor Zong Lie smiled and said calmly, "No matter what, the treasure was found in the territory of our country. If it were to be taken by your country, how would we have the face to stand among the six nations? Plus, your country mobilized millions of troops to the border. How can the other four countries not be suspicious? I believe the other four countries have already sent many spies over. If the news of the treasure is leaked, I believe the other four countries will not stand by and do nothing … "
Emperor Zong Lie did not say anything else. He could only take a gamble. He believed that with Ao Sen's intelligence, he would be able to understand what was at stake.
Sure enough, after a while, Emperor Ao Sen spoke.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Hearing this, Emperor Zong Lie was finally able to relax.
"It's very simple. Both of our countries will send three thousand troops into the treasure. How much you can take will be up to the heavens. What do you think, Emperor Ao Sen?"
"Hmph, you actually want to reap without sowing. Do you know that our spies spent a full two years digging before they could dig it out? Now you want to let the heavens decide with just one sentence? What's the difference if we share it peacefully? Don't forget, I am holding the lives of dozens of your country's officials in my hands. "
Emperor Ao Sen started to threaten at the end.
"Ao Sen, you have mobilized so many people for the treasure. Why do you have to fight to the death with my country? If my country fights to the death, I'm afraid your country will not be able to get anything out of it. Plus, if things get out of hand, the other four countries will be unhappy with your country for taking the treasure. If you isolate your country, I'm afraid there will be another invasion. Your country may not be able to survive. I hope Emperor Ao Sen will consider this carefully. "
Country Lord Zong Lie said leisurely, as though he had the other party in his grasp.
"You dare to threaten me?" Emperor Ao Sen said angrily.
"Same to you!" Emperor Zong Lie retorted.
"Alright, I promise you. Gather three thousand troops as soon as possible." Emperor Ao Sen finally compromised.
"Hehe, thank you!"
Emperor Zong Lie said and started to think about mobilizing the troops.
"Pang Hui, can you still make me believe you?"
Emperor Zong Lie looked at the Governor of Mi Province who was in a daze and had a lot on his mind.
Pang Hui was thinking about his future plans and how to save his own life. Suddenly, he heard the emperor's question and was shocked.
"Emperor, I am willing to go through fire and water for you. I am willing to sacrifice my life for you." Then, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, looking very loyal.
"That's good. Immediately send a message to the Marquis of Nan Dan County, Luo Hao Yu, and ask him to send some troops over. Be quick, they are just next door. "
Emperor Zong Lie ordered.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will do it immediately."
Then, he eagerly ran off to deliver the message.
"Father, I have a request. I hope you can agree."
Zong Yuanhao said.
"Say it!" Emperor Zong Lie replied.
"Father, I would like to go to the Land of Treasure with you. Firstly, I can supervise the troops and secondly, I can prevent the Great Ao Nation from plotting against me."
Zong Yuanhao said without hesitation. Emperor Zong Lie did not reply immediately. Instead, he thought for a while.
? Then, he said, "You can go, but you must send someone to protect you and ensure your safety."
"Emperor, we are willing to follow the Sixteenth Prince to the Land of Treasure. We swear to protect the Sixteenth Prince with our lives."
Luo Yunjue and the others said.
"You guys?" Emperor Zong Lie was surprised.
"Yes, Emperor. Although our strength is limited and we can't fight against powerful experts, we can protect the Sixteenth Prince."
Luo Yunjue said again.
"Father, I believe in them. Let them go with us." Zong Yuanhao said.
Emperor Zong Lie thought for a while and said, "Alright then. Once the troops arrive, you guys can go with them."
"Thank you, father!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Zong Yuanhao, Luo Ping and the others thanked him.
On the afternoon of the third day, Luo Mingzhen led 300,000 troops and arrived at Qushui Prefecture.
"The Sixth Son of the Marquis of Nandan Prefecture, Luo Mingzhen, greets the Emperor!"
Luo Mingzhen bowed respectfully, looking travel-worn.
"Get up! The people of the Luo Family are indeed extraordinary. Not only is Mingyu wise and resourceful, but you guys are also brave and intelligent. "
"Thank you, Emperor. Mingzhen and the others will definitely serve the country with their lives."
"Mm, you guys must be tired from the journey. Take a rest first before we talk about other things." Emperor Zong Lie said.
"I am not tired. When my father received the letter from Governor Pang, he knew that you were trapped here. He immediately sent me to lead the troops here, hoping that you are fine. Now, I am relieved." Luo Mingzhen said from the bottom of his heart.
"How could I not know your loyalty? You should know the general situation here. As for the specifics, I'll let your juniors tell you!" Zong Lie pointed at Luo Ping and the others.
Luo Mingzhen noticed them as soon as he arrived. However, since the Emperor was here, he could only turn a blind eye to them. Luo Ping and the others did the same.
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Luo Mingzhen said and walked to Luo Ping and the others.
"Father!"
"Sixth Uncle!"
"Sixth Uncle!"
Everyone spoke. After a round of greetings, Luo Yunjue and the others told Luo Mingzhen the whole story in detail. He was shocked.
"Sixth Uncle, this is what happened. Now, we just need to wait for both sides to arrange the troops. Then, we can go to the Land of Treasures." Luo Yunjue said.
"According to this, the Land of Treasures should be very dangerous. Otherwise, a few groups of people would not have disappeared for no reason. You guys must be very careful!"
Luo Mingzhen knew that the Emperor had agreed, so he could only remind them. Luo Ping and the others nodded their heads.
After Luo Mingzhen arrived with the army, the situation was completely stabilized. The Second Prince and the Sixth Prince were detained and waiting for their punishment.
Pang Hui, Zhang Fugui and his son were also arrested and waiting for their punishment. As for the seven peak Martial Lords from the Great Proud Country, they swaggered back to their country.
The next morning, the two countries sent three thousand troops and started to set off for the Land of Treasures. Also, the two countries sent some high ranking military officers to follow them.
The Fengyuan Country's side was led by Zong Yuanhao. Other than Luo Ping and the others, there were also three Martial Generals.
As for the Great Proud Nation's side, the leader was a young man in his twenties. His expression was arrogant, and his head was held high. He had a high and mighty appearance. The bodyguards that followed him were all under the rank of Martial General.
The strength of both sides could be said to be equal. If there was any conflict, it would be difficult to determine the winner in a short time.
