188 Dragon City (1/2)
On the vast plains, from a distance, there was a majestic view of a city.
That was the capital of Yuan Country, Dragon City.
As one of the few buildings and being the largest city of Yuan Country, it was the country's headquarters, and it was the place people put their trust in and faith in.
At this point in time, an army of the people from the South had finally arrived at the weakness of Yuan Country.
”Queen, we hope that you would convince him to become allies with our princes. It's a win-win situation!”
Within the tent, a Yuan Country representative was smiling as he was being dismissed.
”This is... the third one for today right?”
Xie Lingyun rubbed her forehead. As much as she felt tired, she also felt pleased.
From the destruction of the two princes armies and Fang Yuan having the nickname of Qiutege in the grass plains, to the peaceful journey from then onwards, the other princes had learnt from Third and Fourth Prince's mistakes and had sent out messengers to show their good intentions.
”Not just Second Prince A Guda and Eighth Prince Ge Ritu, but even the First Prince Ba Tu had come forth. All of them were humble, and we have finally gotten back at them on behalf of the other small countries. Master, what you have said is indeed true! Even if we want to negotiate, we have to defeat and force them into submission first!”
The previous victory was the crucial event that enabled them to choose in peace which prince they want to support!
”Master, who would you want to support?”
Xie Lingyun looked at Fang Yuan's tent, perplexed.
...
However, Fang Yuan was no longer in his tent.
”The Dragon City is indeed different from the other cities. It has a different vibe to it!”
With his skills and guts, he had managed to secretly infiltrate the capital of Yuan Country.
The city walls and the guards who were on continuous patrol were all a joke to him.
”I'm guessing that the current owner of Dragon City is Ba Tu?”
As he walked towards the city square, his eyes were filled with curiosity. ”To resort to such a means to get to the throne! He must be doing all that he can, what a pity!”
Even with the possession of Dragon City, Ba Tu had the weakest foundation among all the princes.
”I've heard that since Ba Tu has the reputation of the son that led to the death of his father, many of his own people dislike him. What a poor thing...”
Looking at the empty streets, Fang Yuan let out a gentle sigh.
Around him, many guards were patrolling. However, they were like blind men and ignored Fang Yuan's existence.
The first part of the cultivation to be a dream master was to be 'illusionary'. Even if these warriors had obtained inner force, they would still not be able to see or hear Fang Yuan.
'With the cultivation of a dream master, I wouldn't have to be afraid of people combining forces and attacking me. Opening meridians after Wu Zong would allow me to take out the leader among thousands of soldiers! With both of these together, I am invincible! In this region, whoever I want to kill will die, even if it's the king of Yuan Country or the governor of Xia Country!'
As he thought to himself, he arrived at the palace of Yuan Country.
This palace was majestic. However, it was lacking in a certain vibe.
Without saying anything, a layer of bewildering fog covered himself as he entered the palace.
In the Royal Study.
”Jerk! Why are Yehe Division and Nayan Division not listening to my orders? I want to send troops over and destroy them!”
In a moment, everyone could feel the wrath of Ba Tu.
As the eldest son of the king, his facial features were rather similar to the late king. He had a brute appearance and was the classic example of a boy who grew up in the grass plains.
After letting out his anger, he began to slowly calm down. All that was left in his heart was a sense of helplessness.
”The woman... Have we found her?”
Ba Tu was filled with regret.
He recalled the first time he set eyes on that woman's beauty. He had to control his own urges and overcome his greed before he could make the decision to give her to his father.
This was purely his act of loyalty, and he had no evil intentions.
”Who would've known that that woman would... that woman would... She isn't human! She's a devil, with the heart of a fox, the eyes of a snake, the teeth of a wolf and the poison of a scorpion...”
Thinking about it, Ba Tu felt a little fortunate.
If the woman were to throw herself to him, then he would be the one dead.
'No one... no one can resist that smile of hers!'
Thinking about her sweet smile, Ba Tu quickly shook his head vigorously as though he wanted to erase all these memories of her.
”That woman... We have no clue about her whereabouts since that day!”
In front of Ba Tu was a shaman who knelt down as he reported. He sounded helpless.
”She must still be around, in the Dragon City, within the palace walls!”
Although Ba Tu was a valiant warrior, he was just a frantic person with no clarity of thought. His eyes were bloodshot, and he paced up and down as his heart was filled with uneasiness.
”Don't worry prince. With my protection, that evil woman will not come in. Not just her, but anyone else before. Nobody can come in here without me noticing!”
The shaman replied, brimming with confidence.
”Before? Does that mean that there is such a person able to do that now? Is it the demonic person from the South?”
Ba Tu mumbled.
”That Fang Yuan is indeed a threat to the grass plains. However, there is nothing to be worried about, my prince. All of us will swear to protect the royal family with our lives!”
”My two brothers might have agreed to Fang Yuan's conditions, and I have no idea what they are! Hmph...”
Ba Tu was not the average person. He had strong foundations, and slowly, he began to calm down. ”I'll send a messenger. This is to establish good relations with the people from the South. Before this internal conflict is over, it is not wise to have another enemy. Since they have not replied us, you shall look for them in a while. Tell them that if they are willing to work for me, they will get honour and everything else!”
