"Your Majesty, the Cloud Border was indeed under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty."
Li Guqun lowered his head to Zhang Dongyun. "However, I have sufficient control over this world. Hence, I am here to offer the Cloud Border to Your Majesty and Chang 'an."
Zhang Dongyun remained calm and collected. With the support of the Invincible City system, he could read Li Guqun's mind.
He was telling the truth …
As for the reason, Zhang Dongyun had a rough idea.
However, he did not say much on the surface. He just looked at Li Guqun quietly.
Feeling Zhang Dongyun's gaze, Li Guqun felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
Just his gaze alone made him, a level-15 Divine Lord of the Martial Way, feel suffocated.
Li Guqun calmed himself down and continued, "I am not a fickle person. It is because the Song Emperor, Zhao Kuangming, is intolerant and has been suppressing me and Mount Fengyangshan for many years. I could not stand the humiliation and thus left the Great Song Dynasty."
Zhang Dongyun looked at him quietly and still did not say much.
The Great Song Dynasty had Grand Commandant Wei Wan, who was at level-16. If the Song Emperor could tolerate him, he would not be unable to tolerate Li Guqun, who was only at level-15.
The conflict between the two sides was not only due to personal feelings, but also some conflicts of interest.
However, Zhang Dongyun did not reject this.
He looked at Li Guqun for a moment and then said, "I also cultivate the Martial Way."
Li Guqun lowered his head and answered, "Your Majesty is more tolerant than Zhao Kuangming. I heard that Chang 'an is all-inclusive. As long as one is loyal to Chang' an, no matter who it is, Chang 'an will not treat them lightly. I lead the lineage of Mount Fengyangshan and am willing to offer the Cloud Border to Your Majesty and Chang' an."
Zhang Dongyun's tone was noncommittal. "My special envoy was sent to the Song Dynasty not long ago."
Li Guqun hurriedly said, "I have something to report to Your Majesty. The Great Song Divine Dynasty has evil intentions and sent spies to secretly investigate the Yanhuang World. They are obviously hostile to Chang 'an City!"
He bowed to Zhang Dongyun again. "Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I've already captured the spy and brought him to Chang 'an. Your Majesty, you'll know when you order someone to interrogate him."
Zhang Dongyun said, "That's strange. The Song Dynasty didn't deal with the Doushi Academy and the Taiyi Sect. Instead, they made an enemy out of me?"
At this moment, Li Guqun's words were full of sincerity. "Your Majesty, this is the difference between you and Zhao Kuangming, Emperor of Song. Your breadth of mind is much greater than Zhao Kuangming's. In Zhao Kuangming's mind, you and Chang 'an are his biggest threats."
Zhang Dongyun smiled faintly. "You seem to know what he's thinking."
Li Guqun was a little emotional. "Your Majesty, I dare not hide this from you. Under the oppression of the Song Dynasty, Mount Fengyang is in a precarious situation. My thoughts day and night are all about the Song Dynasty."
He raised his head slightly and met Zhang Dongyun's gaze. "For thousands of years, there has never been a precedent of two Human Emperors ruling the world at the same time. Zhao Kuangming is no exception in this aspect."
Zhang Dongyun smiled. "In the vast universe, how can there be only one Eastern Heaven?"
Although he said this, he was also a little emotional.
To put it simply, a mountain can't accommodate two tigers.
To put it simply, there can't be two suns in the sky.
Saint Lu, Blood Unicorn Demon Lord, Dao Ancestor Hong Qing, and even the Kui Cow King, these top experts might be able to live peacefully with Zhao Kuangming, Emperor of Song.
However, the Human Emperor of the 17th level of martial arts was Zhao Kuangming's most direct and urgent enemy.
Coincidentally, according to the rumors about the leader of the Twelve Kings of Hell, the Evil Emperor Ming Tonghui, he was also a martial arts expert.
No one knew how strong the former Evil Emperor, who was now the City Lord of Chang 'an, was.
However, based on everyone's known battle records, he was definitely above the 16th level.
This directly touched Zhao Kuangming's red line.
To Zhang Dongyun, this was not something he could not accept.
Even if they could not be allies, they could still be protectors … No, they could still be enemies.
Castellan Zhang was no longer as desperate as he used to be, forcing some people to catch Slaves Qian to gain experience points.
If anyone from the outside world expressed goodwill to Chang 'an, Master Zhang was still very willing to show his grace and friendliness.
However, if they wanted to be enemies, he would also welcome them.
Whether it was for the Doushi Academy or the Great Song Dynasty, it was the same.
It seemed like the friendly attitude that the other party showed in front of Huo Yiming was just a pretense.
From the perspective of camouflage, the two countries did not kill the envoys when they were at war. They should not make things difficult for Huo Yiming, but he could not be sure.
After all, there was the saying of killing with a borrowed knife.
Zhang Dongyun thought in his heart as he made some arrangements for the people in the city.
As for in front of Li Guqun, from Li Guqun's perspective, the City Lord was always calm.
Zhang Dongyun looked at Li Guqun and said, "You have to follow the rules of Chang 'an when you enter the Chang' an City." It was almost the routine of every time a newcomer came to the city.
Li Guqun, who had been waiting for the final judgment, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately bowed to Zhang Dongyun and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I, along with the entire Fengyang Mountain, will strictly abide by the rules of Chang 'an and be loyal to Your Majesty."
Zhang Dongyun nodded and said, "Those who have made meritorious contributions to Chang 'an, I will not mistreat you."
Li Guqun changed the way he addressed himself and said, "I will always remember Your Majesty's teachings."
"The Fengyang Mountain can still stay in the Yundi Country," Zhang Dongyun said.
Li Guqun nodded calmly.
He naturally knew about this because of the precedent of the Senluo Sword Palace in the Wuming World.
As for the people directly under the Chang 'an from the Yanhuang World in the Wuming World and the Yundi Country, it was also expected.
Of course, Li Guqun would not reject it.
In fact, if the Chang 'an City and the Yanhuang World did not send people to the Yundi Country, he would be worried.
However, Zhang Dongyun glanced at the other party and continued, "Other than the Yunguo Kingdom, the Fengyang Mountain lineage can also move to the Yan Huang World. However, if you are really ambitious, I have another choice for you."
Li Guqun took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."
"Conquer another world ruled by the Song Dynasty."
Zhang Dongyun said indifferently, "If you succeed, this world will belong to the Fengyang Mountain, and the Yanhuang World will not send anyone else."
Li Guqun was silent for a moment.
He could not help but sigh in his heart. Compared to the Song Emperor Zhao Kuangming who was secretly scheming, the City Lord of Chang 'an was too confident.
Accepting the surrender of the Fengyang Mountain and the Yundi Country was tantamount to falling out with the Great Song Dynasty.
Since the two sides could not be allies and the other side was playing tricks, how could taking the Yundi Country be enough?
It was fine if he did not make a move, but if he made a move, the City of Chang 'an would be more.
He would openly declare war on the Great Song Dynasty.
With opponents like Shi, Dao, and Confucianism at his side, the City Lord of Chang 'an was still not afraid of adding another Human Emperor as an enemy.
"If you can conquer more than one world, then it will depend on your and the Fengyang Mountain's ability."
Zhang Dongyun said indifferently, "I only have one request. If the enemy is alive, I want to see them. If they are dead, I want to see their corpses."
