"It seems to me that General Guan is the most suitable to guard the Yuguang City," said Emperor Qian with a smile on his face, but his smile appeared detestable in the eyes of Zhu Yishi.
Isn't this a show of force?
Zhu Yishi thought bitterly. Little did he know that the meaning of the confrontation between the two countries was to let the winning side exert its dominance. Five years ago, their Canglan Kingdom had targeted the envoy of the Qianyue Kingdom in the same way.
"If anyone in your country dares to defy, I will guard the Yuguang City. You can find me at any time, but my Green Dragon Crescent Blade will not show mercy," Guan Yu said, stroking his beard. This had been discussed in advance with Qin Jun. Guan Yu would join the army, win battles, and suppress the southern aggressors.
As for Qin Jun, who was in the capital, he was protected by Daji and Xiaotian, the hound.
Although Xiaotian had not made a move, Qin Jun knew that this black dog, when provoked, was a super powerhouse at the level of an Earthly Immortal, capable of even killing Guan Yu and Daji in an instant.
With the conversation reaching this point, if Zhu Yishi and others dared to object, they probably wouldn't be able to leave the Qianzhen Palace today.
Then Jia Xun and Zhu Yishi began to sign the agreement. In this world, written agreements were particularly important. If a kingdom failed to keep its word, the other kingdoms would isolate it.
Otherwise, there would be no more alliances between kingdoms.
"Next, let's talk about the imbalance of resources in the trade between the two countries," Jia Xun said, presenting the agreement to Emperor Qian.
With the intimidation of Guan Yu and Qin Jun, the subsequent negotiations became much simpler.
Qin Jun no longer interjected, but if Zhu Yishi and others dared to have excessive opinions, he would signal Guan Yu to show his killing intent, making Zhu Yishi and others jittery, wishing to end the negotiations immediately.
The smile on Emperor Qian's face had never disappeared. Originally, they thought they would lose again in the confrontation between the two countries, and then be suppressed by the Canglan Kingdom in various negotiations. Unexpectedly, Qin Jun, with the arrival of Guan Yu, broke the embarrassing situation of the Qianyue Kingdom and also won the negotiations.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Qin Jun's achievements were even greater than winning a war.
Because of today's victory in the confrontation, the Canglan Kingdom lost Xiao Beilong, equivalent to losing an arm. Coupled with the negotiation suppression, the Qianyue Kingdom instantly surpassed the Canglan Kingdom.
After all, a general at the Transcendent Mortal Realm could rival a million soldiers!
During the negotiations, the Qianyue Kingdom side was all smiles, but Qin Yu remained silent, with a gloomy expression.
Fortunately, no one paid attention to him.
"I have to say, Your Majesty's third prince is truly outstanding. I used to think that the fifth prince was exceptional, but now it seems that the truly formidable one is the third prince," Zhu Yishi sighed and smiled after the negotiations, and everyone could hear the intention of sowing discord. Little did he know that Qin Jun unexpectedly retorted, "Nonsense, I am his brother, of course I am more formidable than him. But for your country to choose you as the crown prince, it seems a bit blind, doesn't it?"
Pfft—
Qin Yu finally couldn't hold back the accumulated frustration in his heart, and he spat blood, fainting on the spot.
The smile on Zhu Yishi's face also froze, and his heart felt as if a hundred thousand mythical beasts were galloping through it.
"When I ascend to the throne, I will definitely conquer your Qianyue Kingdom!" Zhu Yishi cursed inwardly.
"Ding! Triggering a side quest—Ascend to the throne first! Quest details: Ascend to the throne before Zhu Yishi and ensure that he does not die before the quest is completed! Completing the quest will reward 100,000 experience points and a random draw!"
Qin Jun was stunned. My goodness, how much does this kid hate him to trigger such a huge quest? The reward is really generous!
"Someone, help the fifth prince down!"
Emperor Qian said with a dark expression. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but because of Qin Yu's fainting, it ended in disappointment.
Grand Preceptor Jia Xun forced a bitter smile and hurried out to call the palace guards.
The once most favored fifth prince was now so disregarded by Emperor Qian. The royal family was truly heartless.
In this way, the people from both countries walked out of the Qianzhen Palace with smiles, but the smiles of the Canglan Kingdom were forced. After the end of this negotiation, they didn't know how to explain to their emperor.
"Father, do the jests just now count?" Qin Jun asked Emperor Qian on the way, looking pitiful, making Emperor Qian want to laugh.
"Of course they count!" Emperor Qian waved his hand. He naturally understood that Qin Jun was referring to the matter of Guan Yu guarding the Yuguang City.
It was a good opportunity to promote Guan Yu and compete with Nanmeng.
Moreover, the incident of Guan Yu instantly beheading Xiao Beilong would definitely intimidate all the generals of the Canglan Kingdom. It was most appropriate to send him!
He believed that after today, Guan Yu's reputation would surpass Nanmeng, and the legend of him instantly beheading Xiao Beilong was too impressive.
It had to be said that the Guan Yu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms had amazed various warlords and remained impressive even after becoming a god in this divine and demonic world.
It was a bit of a waste for the Jade Emperor to let him guard the Heavenly Gate!
"Thank you for your kindness, Father!" Qin Jun said happily. Emperor Qian was so good to him that he felt embarrassed to directly usurp the throne.
Although he was capable, he still didn't want to directly plot against his father, especially after seeing Emperor Qian.
Regicide was ultimately a heinous act, and although Qin Jun could kill without blinking an eye now, he hadn't become so depraved as to do something against the natural order of things.
Besides, Emperor Qian wouldn't live for many more years.
"Tell me, how did you escape from that group of palace guards?" Emperor Qian asked with a light laugh, showing no hint of blame, as if he were a kind father.
The group of ministers behind him were also extremely curious, and Zhu Yishi and others pricked up their ears.
The person who had caused the reversal of the confrontation between the two countries must have an extraordinary story.
Could it be true, as others had said, that he had been worthless in the past, even becoming a disgrace to the royal family?
Zhu Yishi expressed deep doubts about this. Although Qin Jun's words were extremely rude, he always managed to seize the loopholes in attacking others. In addition, with the confrontation between the two countries this time, he was clearly already there from the beginning. If he had sent Guan Yu out at the beginning, Xiao Beilong would not have died.
First, he pretended to be desperate to force Xiao Beilong to make a life-and-death bet, and then openly killed Xiao Beilong. Such a scheme could not be described as anything but poisonous.
"Is the Kingdom of Qianyue really going to rise..."
Zhu Yishi looked at Qin Jun's tall figure and secretly thought, but he would not forget the humiliation Qin Jun had given him. He would definitely pay it back in the future.
Qin Jun briefly explained that Daji, whom he had met when he was young, came to rescue him and helped him kill Xiahou En.
"Who is this Daji?" the Emperor of Qian asked in confusion.
Originally, they thought it was Xiahou En who was killed by Guan Yu, but unexpectedly, there was another person. Xiahou En was very strong, and with various means, even a transcendent realm expert might not be able to kill him. It could be seen that Daji's strength was definitely above the transcendent realm.
Zhu Yishi next to him took a sharp breath, and the other envoys of the Kingdom of Canglan also looked at each other.
One Guan Yu was terrifying enough, but they didn't expect that there was another strong person under Qin Jun.
"She is your daughter-in-law!" Qin Jun chuckled, saying this without any embarrassment.
The most important thing was that he was afraid that the Emperor of Qian would take a liking to Daji!
So he had to prepare his defense in advance!
Even King Zhou couldn't resist Daji's beauty. He didn't believe that the Emperor of Qian was better than King Zhou in any way.
