462 Chapter 460 Envoys from the 3 Cities (2/2)
After those words were said, an old voice rose, it was really cold and flat, ”So what if it is? In the past when I was ordered by the ruler to visit Yunxia Mountain to meet city lord Feng Nu I was also made to wait half a day. If you are impatient then you can leave. As for this teaware, it isn't much. This item came from Longze Province and is produced by your city lord in the past. Now our Gantian Mountain can get as many as we want.”
Zong Shou smiled and recognized that this was the voice of old priest Zong Ling. As expected he was experienced, fighting them head-on and not giving in at all.
At this moment another voice rang out, ”Old Priest Zong, I heard that people should know their place to avoid calamity. If Gantian Mountain was strong, I wouldn't dare to do this. Other people might not know about the situation but can't you see it carefully? I heard that recently your ruler was arrogant and didn't do his job. I didn't believe it before but now I do. Monster king Zong Shou is young and doesn't know the importance of things. Why not you and the old officials of Weiran monster king persuade him?”
Zong Shou's lips curled up coldly. He didn't hesitate and he stepped in. Then, he didn't bother about the people within, directly heading for the elevated part of the hall, above the stairs.
Sweeping all about, the so called Great Shang envoy was that silver armor teen with a mask on.
What made him shocked was that the teen young master he saw in the meeting hall was also here. Who knows what his identity was.
Sitting down on the throne, only Zong Ling got up to bow towards him. The young master and the silver armored girl just stood up, slightly bending and cupping their fists as sort of a greeting.
”Yunxia Mountain envoy Gexin greets ruler!”
”Blazing Flame Mountain Zhangzhe greets ruler on behalf of my highness!”
The one who spoke both wore a purple robe, However, their ages were largely different. One was around 30 whilst the other was around 60.
The voice was the same as the 2 who spoke just now. Although their expressions were cold their eyes were filled with trepidation.
That teen young master just smiled and did a simple introduction, ”Thousand City Alliance Yang Shuixue!” He stood tall, looking gentleman-like.
On the contrary, that silver armored girl was filled with respect and solemness, ”Great Shang East Suppressing governor commander Kong Yao greets ruler!”
Zong Shou thought to himself: it was that girl.
The 3 others were startled.
A governor commander position was already a 3rd grade official in Great Shang. East Suppressing was also a title. A title governor commander wasn't that a general that led millions of elite, just weaker than a grade 2 chief commander.
Why was such a high ranked official of the central dynasty here?
That Kong Yao looked at Zong Shou who was seated on the elevated platform with a curious look. Shocked that such a young person. It was really hard to imagine that at 14 years old he led an army to sweep through numerous provinces.
However, when she took a look at the luxurious decoration in the side hall she shook her head.
The tables were built by red Xuan wood weighing 5 kilograms which could be compared to grade 4 spiritual weapons.
The sandalwood incense that was burnt here was the highest grade purple wood skystar incense. She thought about how her Great Shang emperor. Even if he owned the 3 seas, occupying half of the central continent, he was prudent and thrifty. What he used daily was not even 10% of this side hall. Kong Yao couldn't help but shake her head. This person must be a genius but it was rightly said that he was too young and too arrogant.
The huge victory 2 years ago had made this person, but it had also destroyed him.
Zong Shou didn't know what this Kong Yao was thinking. After the 4 of them greeted did he ask coldly, ”Why have you all asked to meet me?”
When Gexin heard that, he stopped thinking about why that east suppressing governor commander came, bowing once more and saying solemnly, ”I came on orders from my city lord to ask for half of Longze Province from your country!”
Zhangzhe was the same, his voice was cold, ”Zhangzhe came also for that. Half of Fuyao province was under Blazing Flame Mountain. The people love their old king and the ruler can't bear with it anymore, asking for it back today. Ruler, please be magnanimous!”
That white shirt teen smiled, standing to a side and not speaking. It was still that teasing gaze as he focused on Zong Shou, sizing him up.
When Zong Ling heard that, fury flashed in his eyes. He suppressed his emotions and kept calm. Thinking to himself: who cares about this? They're 2 old rats daring to make noise in front of a giant lion?
Zong Shou also felt speechless. Looking at the people in the hall, he felt annoyed. In the end, he laughed, ”What a coincidence. Recently I wanted to ask your city lords when are you going to give up the other half of Fuyao and Longze province to me?”
Gexin wasn't surprised, laughing coldly, ”Is the ruler serious? Do you want to fight with us Yunxia Mountain? There is something I shouldn't say but at this moment I still want to persuade the ruler. It isn't easy for Gantian Mountain to be built, don't let it be destroyed by your rashness!”
Zhangzhe's gaze also retracted, ”Blazing Flame Mountain and Yunxia Mountain will advance and retreat together. We want peace but if we have to meet on the battlefield we aren't afraid. Lingyun Sect…”
Before he finished, Zong Shou spread out his hand and threw an ink block over.
Zhangzhe instinctively wanted to avoid but just as he was about to move he felt a chill intent fill his body, unable to move at all. He was smashed in the head by the ink block, only feeling his head go dizzy, head breaking and blood flowing, unable to come back to his senses.
Zong Shou on the throne was calm, ”Let's just fight if you want, what's with all the talking? If you are finished scram!”
That teen young master frowned, unable to look on anymore. He stood up once more, ”Ruler, my Thousand City Alliance also…”
Before his words were completed, Zong Shou interrupted, ”Thousand City Alliance, what is that?”
