Chapter 253: Imperial City (2/2)
The Calm Martial Ruler was in the city, then everything would be fine.
…………
Southern Summer Royal Palace.
The golden tiles were sparkling under the light of the sun, with two golden dragons on the sides that had golden scales, looking very realistic.They seemed like they were soaring into the sky.There were many guards densely placed around the palace, holding long spears and sharp blades, covering the luxurious palace with a cold killing intent!
Above the nine levels of jaded steps.
The king was sitting in his throne.He looked to be around sixty years old with a head of white hair, wearing a purple royal robe and a dignified royal crown.There was a long sword at his waist releasing a powerful energy.It was the Southern Summer Country’s King Sword, passed down from generation to generation of Great Summer Country kings.
At this moment, in the resplendent large hall, the bodyguards had all retreated as three men as powerful as deities walked in.
The person on the left was an old man with a full head of red hair.Although he was old, his back was as tall and straight as a mountain, releasing a powerful aura from his body.
The person on the right was a white robed old man.He had a medium sized stature with a refined look.His hair had all turned white, giving him the aura of an old scholar.
The person in the middle looked the youngest.It was hard to tell how old he was from his appearance, but the hair by his temples was greying.He was wearing a set of dark gold armour with a helmet in his left hand.His cheeks were high and his bones were prominent, with eyes that were like hawk eyes, making him look like he was ready to kill!
“The Three Rulers have been summoned today because there is an urgent matter to discuss.Burning Sun Ruler, you may begin!”
“Reporting to my king!”The Burning Sun Ruler, Nangong Yan’s body was covered in burning energy, just like an angry fire god.The concrete floor under him was destroyed by his aura and it became even hotter, “My Nangong Family’s senior elder Nangong Zhi brought the royal proclamation to Central State, but he was actually crippled by Chu Tian!This matter is related to the Nangong Family’s face, I ask my king to make a decision!”
“Chu TIan?”The Southern Summer King’s voice was very deep reverberating in the hall, being full of prestige, “This king has heard this name several times.He has a swollen head and is very arrogant.Not only has he caused trouble in Central State City, he has even annexed the three great families.Doing this, he clearly doesn’t place this king in his eyes.He really is bold!”
While the Southern Summer King was speaking, although his tone was very calm, the Three Rulers could tell that the Southern Summer King was enraged by Chu Tian’s actions.
The Southern Summer King had ruled for over twenty years now.
He was the highest power in the Southern Summer Country.Even the prestigious Three Rulers had to listen to his orders.What did a little brat from Central State count for?
The Calm Martial Ruler came out and said, “Chu Tian has performed a great merit in Thunder State and is a truly talented individual, he should be used for our Southern Summer Country.I ask my king to be lenient, the Southern Summer Country currently needs talented people!”
“Is our Southern Summer Country lacking in talents?”A sharp voice sounded out.It was the Refined Ruler, Shangguan Cangfeng, “Can he compare to the great scholar?”
The Calm Martial Ruler knit his brows.
“The Refined Ruler’s words make sense.The Southern Summer Country is not lacking in talents.Even if Chu Tian has merits, his crimes and merits cancel out.Chu Tian may have talents, but he does not follow rules at all, so he’s not suited to being used by the kingdom!”The Southern Summer King’s voice was filled with prestige and irresistible might, “If this event of insulting this king was spread across the Southern Summer Country, where would the prestige of the Imperial City go?”
The Refined Ruler could guess what the Southern Summer King was thinking, so he took the initiative to say, “I have a suggestion.We should punish Chu Tian, otherwise he will keep expanding.Once he poisons Central State, it will divide our land!”
“What does the Burning Sun Ruler think?”
“I agree!”The Burning Sun Ruler was a victim already anyway, “He has crippled a senior elder of our Nangong Family, slapping the face of the Nangong Family!”
The Calm Martial Ruler, Dongfang Gan, knit his brows, “My king, please reconsider!”
“I have made my decision!”The Southern Summer King gave his order, “Chu Tian disregards the laws and acts in an arrogant manner, ignoring the royal proclamation, defying his superiors.Even if he has merits, it will not counterbalance these crimes.He will be brought to Imperial City to stand trial and this matter will be left to the Refined Ruler.”
“My wise king!”The Refined Ruler revealed a faint smile, “I advise using the Southern State troops and having the Western Marquis leading them into Central State.”
The Southern Summer King said, “Fine!”
The Burning Sun Ruler nodded, revealing a look of satisfaction.
“As far as I know, the Western Marquis has a grudge with Chu Tian.”The Calm Martial Ruler suddenly spoke up, “If the Western Marquis is to bring Chu Tian back for his trial, then please send the great scholar as well to act as a military advisor.Otherwise, the Western Marquis might take this chance to get his revenge.”
The Refined Ruler knit his brows.
He had deliberately given this task to the Western Ruler.This was nothing more than giving the Western Ruler a chance for revenge.
“Alright!”The Southern Summer King did not wait for the Refined Ruler to refute this, “We’ll send one hundred royal knights to Qing State for the great scholar to personally command, assisting the Western Marquis complete his task!
The Three Rulers were a little surprised.
The royal knights were being sent?
The Southern Summer King really wanted to capture Chu Tian!
“Alright, this matter ends here.”The Southern Summer King was not willing to mention the matter of Central State anymore.He looked over at the Calm Martial Ruler, “What is the situation to the north?”
The Calm Martial Ruler was not satisfied with this.
However, that brat Chu Tian had been too excessive.The Calm Martial Ruler knew the Southern Summer King’s personality, so he did not say anything else.The great scholar was going anyway and he was a man of integrity, so he would be able to discover the facts behind this case, protecting Chu Tian’s life the greatest extent.If Chu Tian were to die, then that meant his destiny was bad.
“Reporting to my king.The Spirit Beasts still have internal strife and are still killing each other.There is strong internal friction, which might be our Southern Summer Country’s chance!”
“Yi?Really!”
The Southern Summer King revealed a look of joy.He discussed this matter into the night with the Three Rulers.
The Southern Summer King was becoming more and more excited, as if not caring about Chu Tian anymore.After all, compared to Chu Tian, the northern Spirit Beasts were the greatest problem, “The military matters will be left to the Calm Martial Ruler, so continue to observe them.Once you find the chance, you must launch an attack!”
