Chapter 290: First Encounter with the Lords of Nations
Yi Guangshan said firmly: "As long as I am here, no one can touch her. As for the future, we will see!"
For him, as long as the personal fight at this moment does not affect the overall situation of the Western Alliance, what impact will Yan Weiyang’s threat have at other times?
Yan Weiyang knew very well that Tu Shan Fang'er was now under the protection of Yi Guangshan and he could not do anything to her, so he snorted coldly and prepared to leave.
Tu Shan Fang'er suddenly said, "Palace Master Yan, please stay!"
Yan Weiyang asked, "What's the matter?"
Tu Shan Fang'er replied, "I came to Mangdu to discuss something with the Lord of Mang. After I finish the matter, I will return to Xia. Three days later, we will settle the grievances in the Chimang Mountains at the border between Xia and Mang. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Guangshan's heart trembled. He understood Xia Zhongnan's intention and pointed his sword at Yan Weiyang, as if he wanted to use thundering means.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Xia Zhongnan emerged as a rising star. He first defeated Wu Longhai and founded the Kingdom of Xia. He then suppressed the three kingdoms of Feng, Ji and Bi and seized a total of 15 states from them. Facing the powerful Maitreya Sect, he did not give in and killed dozens of venerables in a row.
Each of these deeds demonstrates his iron-fisted approach.
Yan Weiyang provoked him and was actually seeking his own death!
Huixuan Hall is a first-rate sect within the territory of Mang State, and the sentiments of worship there are hard to give up.
He really didn't want to see the Xuanxuan Palace turned to ashes in Xia Zhongnan's hands, so he took the initiative and said to Tushan Fang'er before Yan Weiyang responded, "Miss Fang'er, this matter didn't cause you any harm. Can you please write it off for my sake?"
Although he was talking to Tu Shan Fang'er, his eyes turned to Xia Zhongnan, obviously begging Xia Zhongnan for forgiveness.
However, Yan Weiyang did not understand his "good intention". Before Tu Shanfang'er could reply, Yi Guangshan said loudly: "Okay, we will meet at Chimang Mountain in three days!"
Seeing that both parties had reached an agreement, Yi Guangshan said no more and let Yan Weiyang leave. The rest of the people in the Xuanxuan Hall dealt with the body on their own.
He walked towards Xia Zhongnan and Tu Shan Fang'er, smiling: "The Lord of Xia Kingdom, I finally get to see you!"
I failed to meet Xia Zhongnan during my first two visits to Xiadu, but now that I saw his true face, I felt an inexplicable emotion in my heart.
Xia Zhongnan said: "Greetings to the Lord of Mang! Let's go to the palace first!"
Yi Guangshan and the other two rode on the wind, arrived at the palace, and entered a hall.
There were five people sitting in the hall, with one person standing behind each of them.
Yi Guangshan said: "Let me introduce them to you. This is Xia Zhongnan, the ruler of Xia State, and the beautiful lady beside him is Tu Shanfang'er, the leader of Xia State's 'Flying Eagle Guard'."
Some of the other kings smiled and nodded to Xia Zhongnan, while others arrogantly ignored him.
Upon seeing this, Xia Zhongnan took Tu Shan Fang'er with him and chose a seat to sit down.
Yi Guangshan continued to introduce: "Lord of the Xia Kingdom, let me introduce you to these two, Lord Dugu Tianjing of the Hu Kingdom and Prime Minister Gong Laitai; these two are Lord Jiang Zhixian of the Qin Kingdom and Grand Marshal Lu Wanyan; these two are Lord Hulun Xiangnan of the Yuan Kingdom and General Shi Boshou; these two are Lord Tantai Yuanzhi of the Qiang Kingdom and General An Xiaozu; these two are Lord Huangfu Talang of the Wei Kingdom and Prime Minister Duan Weiheng!"
It was Xia Zhongnan's first time to come into contact with the ruler of another country. Every time Yi Guangshan introduced someone, he would respond with a smile.
The rulers of Hu, Yuan and Qiang just glanced at him.
Xia Zhongnan couldn't help but feel confused.
Aren’t you here to form an alliance?
Now that you're here, why are you so indifferent?
He asked, "Gong Yangchuang is not here, why can't I see him?"
Yi Guangshan explained: "After the Gongyang envoy agreed with me on the date of the alliance, he went to Daxia to find you, and then returned to the Western Alliance to report the situation. The round trip took time, so he will arrive later.
The other kings are also on their way, and should be able to gather here today."
Xia Zhongnan nodded, and then said: "Have you discussed any kind of contract before? Tell me about it!"
Yi Guangshan said: "The kingdoms have only expressed their willingness to form an alliance. This is the first time we have gathered together. When the kings of the kingdoms come, we will discuss it together!"
Xia Zhongnan said: "In other words, those of you who came earlier are all here, staring at each other, doing nothing?"
This was quite rude. Hulun Xiangnan, the King of Yuan, Huangfu Talan, the King of Wei, and Jiang Zhixian, the King of Qin, all snorted coldly to express their dissatisfaction with Xia Zhongnan's wild words.
Yi Guangshan said: "What kind of contract is to be signed must be agreed upon by all the kings of the kingdoms. We don't need to set a framework!"
Xia Zhongnan suddenly lost interest in the so-called alliance.
Given their negative attitude, he doesn't believe that even if ASEAN is established, it will accomplish anything.
Xia Zhongnan stood up and said, "Lord Mang, I am tired from the journey. Can you put me in a quiet room so I can rest for a while and wait for the other kings to arrive before calling me back?"
Yi Guangshan said: "Prime Minister Kong, please prepare a quiet room for the King of Xia!"
Prime Minister Kong Changji said: "Yes, sir!"
Then he bowed to Xia Zhongnan and Tu Shanfang'er and said, "You two, please follow me."
After saying that, he led the way out.
After leaving the palace, Kong Changji said: "Don't be surprised, King of Xia. Kings of other kingdoms are usually noble beings. It is difficult for them to meet like ordinary people. It is normal for them to speak freely and be reserved.
Once the alliance is held and everyone gets to know each other, the situation will improve greatly!"
He always lived in the main hall and knew everything that was going on.
Compared to others, the talkative Xia Zhongnan was like an alien. I noticed his dissatisfaction, so I spoke to comfort him.
Xia Zhongnan has just taken office as the new king of the kingdom, and his behavior is very different from that of other kings, which may be normal.
Xia Zhongnan looked at Kong Changji and found that he was indeed somewhat similar to Kong Qi who was killed by Tu Shan Fang'er earlier.
At this moment, Kong Changji had not yet learned that his son had been killed by Tu Shan Fang'er, and was still preparing a quiet room for the two of them.
It is unknown how he will react after knowing that the two people are the enemies who killed his son?
Xia Zhongnan sighed softly.
Human nature has two sides.
When I saw Kong Qi trying to commit suicide, I gave the order to Tu Shanfang without hesitation.
However, at this moment, walking with Kong Changji and listening to his words, I could only sigh.
After Xia Zhongnan left, Yuan Wangguo King Hulun said to the south: "The world is in chaos now, even a cultivator of Huaxu can ascend to the throne of the king and show off in front of us!
If it weren't for the Maitreya cult, it would be a shame to stand shoulder to shoulder with such people!"
Jiang Zhixian, the King of Qin, said: “I heard that he murdered Wu Longhai, the King of Wu, and instigated a coup to take over the throne.
I wonder what the people of the Xia Kingdom think. With the Maitreya Cult facing a powerful enemy, is it really appropriate to entrust this Huaxu cultivator to take power?"
In the distant continent of Astoria, Xia Zhongnan stood in front of a magnificent castle, his eyes cast towards the mountains in the distance, where countless secrets and ancient legends were hidden. He asked: "What kind of contract have you discussed before? Tell me about it!"
Yi Guangshan, the guardian of this country, said in a voice full of majesty, "The kingdoms have only expressed their willingness to form an alliance. This is the first time we have gathered together. When the monarchs of each kingdom come, we will discuss it together!"
Xia Zhongnan's gaze returned to Yi Guangshan. "In other words, all of you who came here earlier are here, staring at each other, doing nothing?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in these words, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Hulun Xiangnan, the King of Yuan, Huangfu Talang, the King of Wei, and Jiang Zhixian, the King of Qin. They snorted coldly, expressing their dissatisfaction with Xia Zhongnan's contempt.
