Chapter 147 Envoy to Western Chu

Cao Shaotian pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Zhao Longyuan, you have done a good job, but I never thought that the Bliss Gang would know such a big secret and be able to mobilize Zhenhai Beast."

"Fortunately, they didn't succeed. If they succeeded, not only Nansheng would be in danger, but Donghua would also be in danger."

Zhao Longyuan: "Your Majesty has praised you, and a humble job is just a dog's job."

Cao Shaotian nodded slightly: "Zhao Longyuan, in fact, during the time you left, the rivers and lakes were relatively calm and nothing happened, but that was not the case in the Western Chu Kingdom."

Zhao Longyuan was a little surprised: "Oh? What happened in Western Chu Kingdom?"

Cao Shaotian: "To be honest, the Western Chu Kingdom asked me to send a mission to their place to have friendly exchanges with them."

Zhao Longyuan: "Western Chu Kingdom has always been at odds with us, how could it suddenly show favor?"

Cao Shaotian frowned: "The real purpose of the Western Chu Kingdom is not to show favor, but to take advantage of the opportunity of our mission to provoke a war between the two countries."

Zhao Longyuan cupped his hands and said: "So that's the case. It seems that the Western Chu Kingdom has planned for a long time."

Cao Shaotian: "That's right, but our country is not fully prepared now, and we must not start a war with Western Chu at will. Therefore, I want you to pretend to be an envoy of the mission and help me on this trip."

Zhao Longyuan: "Of course, a humble job will definitely not disgrace the mission."

Cao Shaotian instructed: "Besides you, I will send another person to the Western Chu Kingdom. He is Yun Fengping, an eloquent Minister of Rites and one of my confidantes."

Zhao Longyuan: "It seems that the emperor still has trustworthy people in the court."

Cao Shaotian sighed: "It's a pity that there are too few, and my people don't have much real power."

Zhao Longyuan: "Don't worry, your majesty, this matter will be resolved sooner or later."

Cao Shaotian nodded: "You are right, I know very well that this time is getting closer and closer."

Then, he changed the subject: "Zhao Longyuan, this time, you must protect Yun Fengping secretly, and you must not let him make any mistakes. If he is killed, then the war between the two countries will be inevitable."

Zhao Longyuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best in this humble position!"

Cao Lingyu also showed curiosity: "It will be very interesting to go to Western Chu this time."

In this way, a new plan was formulated.

Zhao Longyuan also found Xuanyuan Qing and told him about his plans to accompany the mission to the Western Chu Kingdom, but he did not explain that this was the emperor's plan, only that it was his own idea.

Xuanyuan Qing readily agreed, especially when he heard that he could enjoy the delicacies of the Western Chu Kingdom, his eyes lit up.

With his help, Zhao Longyuan's odds of winning have increased a bit, and he couldn't help being secretly happy.

At the same time, Cao Lingyu has also fully practiced [Water Moon Heart Technique], her martial arts have been promoted to the realm of transformation, approaching the top masters in the world, and her strength is not bad.

She also wrote to her master, Leng Xinyue, the master of Shuiyue Palace, asking him to teach her [Mirror Flower and Water Moon Kung Fu].

Leng Xinyue has always valued Cao Lingyu, so she naturally agreed.

Cao Lingyu began to practice this set of the most mysterious martial arts in the world, turning her true energy into a clone.

More than ten days later, the delegation from Donghua State went as promised and began to move towards Western Chu State.

The three of Zhao Longyuan also used [Disguise Technique] to pretend to be envoys, and followed closely behind.

The leader of the mission is Yun Fengping.

He is a very young man with a handsome appearance. Not only is he eloquent, but he is also good at calligraphy. He is quite famous in Donghua country.

The reason why Yun Fengping was held in high regard by Cao Shaotian was because he once wrote a secret memorial to impeach the Empress Dowager.

He knew very well that this memorial would never work.

But the reason why Yun Fengping wrote it was not to really impeach the Queen Mother, but to express his position to Cao Shaotian.

This was also what Cao Shaotian valued the most, he immediately hid the memorandum, and kept recommending this person to the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother always liked handsome men, and when Yun Fengping met her, she was quite respectful, so she readily accepted and made him a servant of the Ministry of Rites.

In this way, Yun Fengping joined the imperial court and served Cao Shaotian. Although he had no rights on the surface, he was actually involved in the political struggle and would play his role sooner or later.

This mission to Western Chu was Yun Fengping's first "blade out of its sheath", and Cao Shaotian also had high hopes for him.

Yun Fengping is naturally very clear about his mission, and will never give up lightly.

Cao Shaotian had told Zhao Longyuan about these things before.

After hearing this, he also admired Yun Fengping a little more.

After all, Zhao Longyuan and Yun Fengping have similar identities, they are both dormant in secret, but there is a difference in strength.

Yun Fengping also knew Zhao Longyuan's identity as an agent, but it was just tacit understanding.

In this way, the group soon arrived at Xiliang City.

The person who greeted them was none other than Ximen You, the general of Xiliang City.

This old friend Zhao Longyuan naturally knew about it.

But in order to deceive others, he did not recognize Ximen You, but only greeted him as an envoy.

Ximen You also respected Yun Fengping very much, and led the army to personally escort him until he reached the border between the two countries before stopping.

Along the way, he also told Yun Fengping a lot about the situation in Western Chu.

At present, Jiang Batian is in power and controls the entire Western Chu Kingdom.

He has been plotting closely.

Inside, Jiang Batian repelled dissidents, massacred those who were dissatisfied with him, and made everyone in the DPRK and China feel insecure and dared not make mistakes.

Outside, he has expanded his military strength, and the Western Chu Kingdom has already had an army of 200 million, which is so powerful that it makes all countries fear it.

In addition, Jiang Batian also made a lot of progress in the business of the Western Chu Kingdom, and did business with the Ancient Qin Kingdom and Nansheng Kingdom, and gained a lot.

The financial resources of Western Chu Kingdom are far inferior to that of Donghua Kingdom, but it is enough for Jiang Batian.

However, the country is not invulnerable.

Within Western Chu, there are also forces secretly opposing Jiang Batian.

For example, his younger brother Jing Wang Jiang Liukong is different from Jiang Batian's cruelty. Jiang Liukong likes calligraphy and painting, and wants to govern the country with benevolence and justice like Donghua Kingdom.

However, Jiang Liukong has no real power, and on the surface he can't pose any threat to Jiang Batian.

Although Jiang Batian is cruel, he is extremely kind to his own brother and trusts him unconditionally.

This is also his most special side.

After hearing this, Zhao Longyuan also had a new understanding of Jiang Batian.

The same is true for Yun Fengping.

He said to Ximen You: "General Ximen, I believe what you said is true, but there are actually two reasons why Jiang Batian is so kind to his younger brother."

Ximen You was a little surprised, and asked, "Which two weights?"

Yun Fengping: "First, King Jing has not posed a real threat to Jiang Batian. Second, before Jiang Batian became emperor, King Jing fully supported him and never opposed him."

"It was only after Jiang Batian became emperor that his nature was exposed and he was cruel and heartless, so Prince Jing was dissatisfied with him."

Ximen You suddenly realized: "That's it."
