Chapter 263: Southern State’s army! (2/2)

“Your excellency Chu Tian.”Qu Qianqiu quickly explained, “Everything is a misunderstanding.This old man did not know your status, otherwise I would have never plotted against you.”

These words not only stunned the royal knights.

It also stunned Yun Tianhe and the others.

What?

The great scholar knows Chu Tian?

“This old man understands that you are filled with dissatisfaction.However, considering their statuses as royal knights, you should still let us go.”Gu Qianqiu said this and suddenly looked at Yun Tianhe, “Old Yun, why are you not speaking up for us?I, Gu Qianqiu always keep my words, you know I don’t go back on my promises!”

Cao Bao and the other royal knights were speechless.

What was the great scholar afraid of?

Even faced with the Southern Summer King, he would still dare foam with rage, but now he acted so timidly like he was afraid of something.

“That’s right, the royal proclamation!”Gu Qianqiu looked down, “The royal proclamation is in my pocket and there is the Calm Martial Ruler’s secret letter.After seeing them, you will understand everything. I was just given a temporary order to lead these royal knights, I wouldn’t think of hurting you!”

Chen Bingyu took out the royal proclamation and the secret letter.

Chu Tian first looked at the royal proclamation and found that it truly was the Southern Summer King’s order.It wanted Gu Qianqiu to coordinate with the Western Marquis to bring him back to hold a trial.

The Calm Martial Ruler’s secret letter?

Chu Tian opened it and immediately knit his brows.

This letter cursed Chu Tian for his many crimes and was even more detailed than the royal proclamation, even mentioning the grudge between Chu Tian and the great scholar.

If this wasn’t mentioned, Chu Tian would have already forgotten about it.

When Chu Tian first came to Central State City, in order to quickly catch the Yun Family’s attention, he performed a great play in the Yun Sect.Of the important scholars of the Yun Sect, the ones most affected was Gu Qianqiu’s previous students. Chu Tian did not care about these small character and could not remember most of what he said, but it seemed like he wasn’t too respectful to the great scholar.

This was a bit thought provoking.

With the Calm Martial Ruler sending this letter to the great scholar, wasn’t he trying to kill with a borrowed knife?

It was a good thing Chu Tian had met Gu Qianqiu in Qing State and taught him many things.The current Gu Qianqiu did not dare move against him, otherwise the consequences would be hard to describe.

Did the Divine Wind Marquis fail to win the Calm Martial Ruler over?

Or, did the Calm Martial Ruler want to kill him?

He wanted to kill Chu Tian and hold the secret of the Source Energy Weapons?!

If there was nothing wrong with this letter, no matter what angle he considered it from, Chu Tian’s situation was not good.The Southern Summer King was dissatisfied with Chu Tian and the Three Rulers wouldn’t help him, then wouldn’t Miracle Commerce not have anything to hide under in the Southern Summer Country?

Gu Qianqiu saw Chu Tian’s expression was a bit stern, so he quickly said, “Your excellency Chu Tian does not need to worry.This old man has a bit of status in the Imperial City and as long as this old man speaks up for your excellency, the Southern Summer King will definitely let you off.Even if you have enmity with the Three Rulers, they still have to give me face.”

“Chu Tian, if you can’t rely on the Calm Martial Ruler, then the great scholar can help you.”Yun Tianhe said to Chu Tian in a whisper, “This old man has some relations to me and is a person that can be trusted.”

While this great scholar’s strength and power could not compare to the Three Ruler’s, his influence could be equal.He would at least be able to help Chu Tian more than the normal marquises.

While Chu Tian was a little bit hesitant.

‘Boss, Chairman!”A Giant Shark Gang member suddenly ran in, “A bad thing has happened!”

Old Fifth Yu knit his brows, “What is it?”

“Our brothers noticed a large group of warships on the Four States Lake, which seems to be the Southern State troops heading to Central State.They’re moving very quickly, so the future seems bad!”

What?

Southern State’s army!

“The royal proclamation clearly states for the Western Marquis to send you to the Imperial City, but it doesn’t allow him to move Southern State’s army!”Gu Qianqiu’s expression fell a bit, “Chu Tian, if it is the Southern State’s army, then it is bad for Central State. Just believe this old man and I’ll think of a way to stop him for you!”

Chu Tian gave a laugh, “The Western Marquis has a deep grudge with me, he might not give the great scholar any face.”

“At least, I have a hundred royal knights to help you with!”

Cao Bao shouted as soon as he heard this, “Great scholar, our task is clearly to……”

“Don’t forget, the royal proclamation has clearly stated that you are all under me and have to follow all of this old man’s orders.”Gu Qianqiu quickly restored his dignified manner in front of the royal knights, “Do you want to go against the royal orders?”

“This……”

“This Chairman Chu Tian is not our enemy!”Gu Qianqiu said to Chu Tian, “We don’t have a lot of time!”

Chu Tian considered it and then nodded, “Alright, I’ll believe you and let you go.Immediately close the city gates and prepare to fight!”

After Cao Bao was released, he took out a strange flute from his chest and blew into it, creating a shrill cry that echoed through the skies.Around ten minutes, a long cry resonated through the sky, as a hundred griffins slowly flew into Central State City.

The citizens of Central State City were shocked.

This was the legendary griffin beast!

Each one was a level two demon beast and each mount cost several million gold coins.The Griffin Knights was the most mysterious and strongest army in the Southern Summer Country.Now that the Griffin Knights appeared in Central State City, how could they not be shocked?

Following this, all the city gates were closed and the citizens were quickly asked to return before the defense army was stirred.

Something big was about to happen in Central State City!
