After a night in the desert and two roup of bandits, Gu Shenwei arrived in the Stone Kingdom three days later than the others A lot of people were surprised to see hidom, but they skillfullya lot of Blood Coagulation Pills with her and was unwilling to use them on the bandits, thus she used the Jueyin Touch to help them remove the effects of the Bliss Needle
Jueyin Touch was sih it would not take effect i deviation had already taken root in the body As a result, the six bandits had no choice but to listen to Maid Lotus
Moreover, the newly subdued bandits were very unreliable Gu Shenwei dealt with them for two days and pried out a lot of information from He Sancai’s mouth He ordered a dozen of them ere relatively trustworthy to contact dom, while the rest continued to hide in the desert on standby
On the second day after arriving in the Stone Kingdo with other suitors
Yang Dou was shrewd and crafty Although there was already a certain someone in mind for the Emperor’s son-in-law, he still put on a flawless act that nobody could see through On behalf of the king, he proposed five criteria for choosing a son-in-law: fa fu, wealth, and character
Everybody quickly es with others and put forward questions and dedoround” should be the most important criteria, while others felt that “literary talent” or “character” should be the core of the criteria instead No one touched on “kung fu” and “wealth” because they knew that a in ter Master of Golden Roc Fort in terms of wealth
But these two men did not say a word froht it out
Both Gu Shenwei and Shangguan Fei were very clear that the person who could decide on the choice of the prince consort was not Pri Dou, nor was it the Princess herself or the King of the Stone Kingdom; it was up to the two Special Envoys from Norland and the Central Plain
Faced with the co Dou displayed his ability and persuaded every suitor who put forward different opinions one by one He ensured that the whole process of choosing the prince consort would be fair and reasonable, giving everyone a chance
The whole ed in a battle of words with each other In the end, Yang Dou eed as the winner because none of the five criteria for choosing a son-in-laere changed despite the heated discussions
At noon, the palace hosted a banquet for all the guests to enjoy
The King of Stone Kingdom only showed his face briefly at the banquet and did not say lass of wine symbolically, he left his seat and the banquet was instead hosted by the Pri was different from the memory that Gu Shenwei had of the Second Prince He was much older and his already thin body looked even frailer now Like a candle in the wind, it seemed like he could collapse anytime
All suitors stayed in the courier station outside of the city, and the real co with one another this tiht, Gu Shenwei draped a cape and paid a visit to the Special Envoy from the Central Plain
On the surface, the Central Plain re and Gu Shenwei did not intend to fall out with him too soon Moreover, fro Officer of the Western Region – who instigated the assassination of Dragon King It was still not clear whether the Special Envoy are of it
The Special Envoy from the Central Plain was na as an official in the Western Region for ia for the Central Plain, and all he wanted was to retire and return back to his country “I aions abound with rivers and lakes, as well as boats floating in the watery towns, fillbut yellow sand all around ain inis fro heard of General Gu’s reputation, but it’s a pity I lack fate to meet him…”
Gu Shenwei hu with such figures fro could be a very useful advisor if he orthy of his trust
Next, Lin Tao talked about the bandits in the desert, “They’ve overestimated themselves! These people, how dare they lay their hands on the Dragon King! But Dragon King, you are too polite indeed If you knew that there were people trying to block your hy didn’t you let h I didn’t have a lot of e abilities, it would still have been possible for the”
Gu Shenwei thanked Mr Lin sincerely for his concern and naturally pinned Golden Roc Fort as the instigator of the bandits “Supreet rid of e countries and hasn’t dared to send his own people It’s shaed these unpopular bandits to trap me to death in the desert”
“Sha to what Dragon King said, vouching firuarantee the safety of the Dragon King, and this is by noas we have explicit evidence that Golden Roc Fort is behind this, ill send our troops to the Supre fu is, it’s impossible for him to defeat the tens and thousands of troops that we have!”
For Lin Tao to actually give out such a clear threat as the Special Envoy of the Central Plain, it goes to show that as the confidant of Wei Song – the Coion – he was definitely aware of this “shaain, and Lin Tao slowly moved onto the real business His douards one of the two dom, you will acquire the entirety of Xiaoyao Lake – these words were indeed true Although the five kingdo, they are rich in resources, especially the refined iron from Wushan; it’s unparalleled in this world…”
Lin Tao leaned towards Dragon King and then said, “Golden Roc Fort is detere proposal this ti of Norland The five criteria listed by Prieous for Golden Roc Fort as well Do you have any counter?”
