As the do Liao earned the recommendation of the late Prince as he lay on his death bed The first iave others, however, was that he was extree and was short, thin and frail He looked easy-going, with a slightly dark skin tone He grew a sparse beard and dressed siave hiovernment official; it was hard for anyone to believe that he was actually very a Nation was, undoubtedly, the least outstanding individual the s were coronated He was even less noticeable than the two ladies carrying their babies

Only observant onlookers could tell how Shang Liao stood out fros of the other four nations looked scared when facing the Dragon King, and the doed over by the Princess to receive the Royal Seal and the Crown frodoms were even more worried and anxious, as if their respective thrones were in jeopardy Only the new King of the Kang Kingdoh he did not possess , he did not show any fear

Gu Shenwei noticed, and su that very afternoon

To avoid going through unnecessary formalities, Gu Shenwei chose a sparsely furnished study roo The desk, which was supposed to represent the status of its owner, was placed against a wall and four or five similar chairs were placed randomly around the room

“The Prince admired you and believed that you could save the five nations of the Xiaoyao Lake region,” was Gu Shenwei’s opening state Liao, so he did aith the customary introductions and pleasantries

“I hope you can addressThat is, if that hat the coronation cere Liao replied

Even if Shang Liao’s statement was somewhat provocative, his tone was still extremely polite, as if he did not care whether or not his request would be harshly rejected

Gu Shenas a little surprised, and he secretly trusted the recommendation of the Prince even more “Now that the arood ideas do you have, King of the Kang Nation?” he asked

“As the King of the Kang Nation, I would only have good ideas when planning the defense ofLiao repied confidently

“You are defending your nation now You can only return back to your ho the Golden Roc Fort,” Gu Shewei stated

Shang Liao gave a slight grin His unassureatly with his sharp tongue “This is a war between you and the Supre to do with— I don’t even have the recognition of the citizens of e to defeat the Golden Roc Fort, I wouldn’t dare return to the Kang Kingdoon King But I don’t see the difference between the Kang Kingdoon Army into her lands If you want ,” he said, casually

Gu Shenas a little irritated — the new King of the Kang Nation was really pushi+ng it That said, he was still able to control his temper Compared to flattery, he preferred to hear the harsh truth “I told the late Prince so Nation Independence is not a gift If you really want to have the true authority of a king, you have to earn it and pay the price for it,” he said

Shang Liao laughed heartily, as if he was clueless that he had just irritated the Dragon King, who could easily have hion King Let’s talk about the price I have to pay,” he replied

Gu Shenas starting to wonder if Shang Liao was just fond of boasting He was obviously escorted by ar, yet here he was talking of “being willing” to talk, as if he had had a choice in the on King was thinking “To be honest, I was always keen to negotiate with you, Dragon King That was the reason I re believes that victory is within his grasp and would definitely not allow any country in the Xiaoyao Lake region to gain independence It was a pity that the Prince refused to listen to estion and wanted to take risks instead It was such a pity The Prince had undergone a huge transfor,” he replied

“I killed him,” Gu Shenwei said coldly

“Everyone knows that,” Shang Liao replied in an even tone “His Highness the Prince illing to die for the independence of the Kang Kingdom, and all of his people still mourn his death”

Gu Shenwei decided that he would not allow the powerless King of the Kang Nation to provoke him As such, he nodded and replied, “The Prince was definitely worthy of remembrance How about Your Majesty? Will you decide to take over his cause or will you choose to walk a different path?”

“I have only inherited his willpower I disagreed with hishisLiao answered

It was always hard to tell real talent frodom was not very sharp, and it was very likely that he could have been fooled Gu Shenwei re to size up his opponent When he spoke again, he was already on high alert “Let’s talk about the price you wish to pay,” he said

“It’s very sier of a shop ould not divulge his own botto, and I will help you defeat the Golden Roc Ardo, that will be left entirely up toconfident with the Dragon King; the aon Army

“This seems to be the price I have to pay,” Gu Shenwei replied

“Hehe, it’s nor I’ve heard that you’ve built up a navy, and that preparations are all complete, except for the lack of a commander Please allow me to humbly recommend myself If I cannot completely defeat the Navy of the Golden Roc Fort within teeks, I’ll gladly offer up e to succeed, we shall discuss further about the prices both of us have to pay,” Shang Yiao offered

Gu Shenwei had entered into many deals with several people in the past He had encountered both honest and deceitful people before, but he had never been in a situation in which he had to give so in return

As his navy controlled ion, it was the only front which the Dragon King had an advantage over the Golden Roc Army If he was to be betrayed now, the consequences would be disastrous

“You have to prove yourself with s Nation,” Gu Shenwei said He initially intended to reject handing over his navy to Shang Liao

“If you want a cat, you can test it by pitting it againstIf what you want is a ferocious beast, then why start with s Yiao asked, rhetorically
