Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 374: Isn’t the mission just for fighting?
Even though Li Rui and a few others stayed in the Dianke Office every day, they knew that Minister Wang's progress was not smooth.

The reaction from the Wu Kingdom was huge.

The military generals in their prime shouted loudly in the court.

They said things like, how could the Wu State become a vassal of the Yu State?

After all, it was impossible for the young ruler of Wu Kingdom to ignore the indignation of all the court officials.

I can only delay it again and again.

In the courtyard of the Dianke Office.

"There are some real men in Wu Country."

Nie Siming said.

Of course he knew the difficulties that the Tianyu Kingdom delegation encountered in the Wu Kingdom.

However, in his opinion, this showed that the Wu Kingdom's generals still had courage.

If all the generals in the court were servile and hoped that the State of Yu would pacify Dongwu, then when Dongwu was pacified, the army of the State of Yu would surely head straight for the Wu Court.

He believed that both the Holy Emperor and his adoptive father, Lord Yuan, would be able to do it.

Didn’t the Emperor Zu want to take over the vast territory of the Wu Kingdom?
It can't be.

The Wu Kingdom's foundation is far more powerful than people imagine.

Even the first emperor was worried that both sides would suffer losses, and the newly established Dayu would end up falling apart.

However, the State of Yu never stopped coveting southern Xinjiang.

This is what an ambitious emperor would definitely do.

The new emperor of Wu State worked hard to govern the country, and there were many talented people in the court, both civil and military. The country was not necessarily much worse than Yu State, so it was inevitable that the reaction was so intense.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the new emperor of the Wu Kingdom and the great wizard are not too tough.

Yuan Xiong smiled slightly: "Let's go, the Wu Kingdom's grand ceremony is about to begin. I've heard that the ceremony is grand, so we must go and broaden our horizons today."

"go!"

Nie Siming laughed out loud.

When he and Yuan Xiong followed Yuan Dingting to fight, they had heard about the Witch Clan's grand sacrifice more than once.

I didn't expect to have the opportunity to witness it with my own eyes.

Li Rui and the other two immediately went out and came to the southernmost part of the Wu Court with Minister Wang who was already waiting at the door.

A huge altar covering hundreds of acres appeared in front of them.

On top of the huge altar.

There stand twelve statues that are hundreds of feet tall and have different shapes. Some have human heads and snake bodies, some have leopard heads and human bodies, and some are simply giant snakes with wings.

"Twelve Ancestral Gods!"

Li Rui looked at the twelve statues and felt a chill in his heart.

According to legend, these twelve ancestral gods are subordinates of the Beast God.

The Beast God led the twelve ancestor gods to open up the land where the Witch Clan has lived for generations today.

Therefore, there is a custom of offering sacrifices in the first month of spring when praying for a good harvest, which is similar to the custom of offering sacrifices to heaven in the State of Yu.

The envoys from the State of Yu were invited to watch the ceremony and were guests.

On a high platform in a very forward position.

As the deep and vast sound of the ox horn sounded, the new emperor of the Wu Kingdom led all the officials of the Wu Kingdom to begin the ceremony.

Twelve wizards imitated the twelve ancestral gods and danced on the altar.

The scene was solemn and dignified.

This was the first time that Li Rui saw the young emperor of the Wu Kingdom.

The King of Wu looked to be about thirty years old, with regular features and a short beard, giving people a sense of majesty without even being angry.

Compared with the Holy Emperor of Yu State, he can actually compete with him.

Right.

Even if an ordinary person has the support of a great witch, it is difficult for him to secure the throne of the king so quickly.

And according to what Li Rui understands.

This young emperor is not a puppet of the great witch.

He is quite capable of governing the country.

The grand sacrifice lasted for two days. The cumbersome process was no less than that of the Yu State, and the majesty shocked everyone.

Who said that Wu Kingdom is a barbaric country?
It's just that the people of Yu are arrogant.

Ignorance leads to arrogance.

The more Minister Wang looked, the more shocked he became. The Wu Kingdom's foundation was truly extraordinary. At the same time, he was also glad that the Wu Kingdom was in chaos.

Otherwise, a powerful Wu State would definitely be a formidable enemy to the Yu State.

After the grand ceremony was over.

It is the grand wood-racing conference.

To put it simply, it is a martial arts competition in the Wu Kingdom. Each city in the Wu Kingdom selects young warriors from the city to participate in the competition. The bravest one can get rewards from the king of the Wu Kingdom.

To demonstrate the martial virtues of the Wu Kingdom.

It is somewhat similar to the autumn hunting in the State of Yu.

"Wu Country is truly a land of outstanding people and geniuses."

Minister Wang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the geniuses from the Wu Kingdom who were fighting fiercely in the large open space in front of the altar.

There are many masters among them.

He was even able to overpower the great geniuses of the Yu State.

It made him secretly frightened.

Although Minister Wang is a third-rank official, his martial arts realm still remains at the innate level.

The murderous aura that hit him made him feel overwhelmed.

"It's so awesome."

As for Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong, they were much calmer.

They had followed Yuan Dingting in fighting in the Wu Kingdom too many times, and many geniuses of the Wu Kingdom had died at their hands.

At this time.

A strong man from the Wu clan chopped his opponent away with an axe.

After winning.

He actually turned his head and looked towards the platform of the Yu State delegation.

A ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I've heard that the people of Yu are good at fighting. Now that I'm here, why not come down and have a fight with them?"

The sound was so loud that it attracted the attention of many people in front of the altar.

Minister Wang narrowed his eyes.

He looked displeased.

The strong man openly attacked him, making him lose face.

But refuse?
Wouldn't it be saying that the State of Yu is inferior to the State of Wu? Negotiations are already difficult, and if we retreat at this time, wouldn't it be even more difficult? Moreover, if the news gets back to the State of Yu, we might be charged with a crime that undermines the country's prestige.

Minister Wang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong behind him.

Feeling slightly relieved.

"Fortunately, I brought them both with me this time."

The participants in the Wu Kingdom's wood-racing competition are all young people.

This young does not refer to age, but anyone below the third rank can participate.

I saw an old man with a white beard fighting happily.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong are almost invincible in the innate realm.

With the two of them here, there is no need to worry about not winning.

The sturdy man looked towards the platform of the Yu State delegation, with a hint of hesitation clearly in his eyes.

There were a total of four people from the Yu State delegation who came to watch the ceremony.

A civil servant, Minister Wang, cannot be chosen as an envoy.

As for Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong, as ruthless men who followed Yuan Dingting to fight, he certainly knew that they could not be chosen.

At last.

He set his eyes on the little old man standing at the back.

"Whatever, I'll just bully the old man if I want to."

"You, dare you come down and fight!"

The burly man pointed at Li Rui.

The eyes of countless Wu State officials in front of the altar also fell on Li Rui.

With thousands of people staring at him, an ordinary person would have felt uncomfortable.

Li Rui is not an ordinary person.

Facing invisible pressure, he remained calm.

He glanced at the Wu Kingdom generals not far away, who were already unconcealedly ready to laugh at the joke.

Of course he knew.

What happened today was deliberately pushed by these people behind the scenes.

It's to stir up emotions.

Disrupt the situation of Yu State's military dispatch.

What they wanted was a gimmick to incite the court.

Of course those old guys won’t believe it, but it doesn’t matter. It’s enough as long as the young generals believe it.

Even the ruler of the Wu Kingdom would never dare to risk the wrath of the world.

By then, the plan of Yu State to send troops would be a failure.

'It's really well-intentioned.'

Li Rui chuckled and shook his head.

Under the gazes of countless people, he slowly took a step forward: "If you want to fight, then come on."

Mission.

Isn't it just for fighting?

"Please Sir Li give them a little shock."

The words of the great witch that day came to his mind.

He had anticipated today's scene.

Pick out the soft persimmons and pinch them.

Among the people present, he doesn't look like the easiest to bully.

Seeing Li Rui accept the challenge, some Wu people who were fighting fiercely chose to stop.

For a moment, Li Rui became the focus of the whole audience.

Everyone knew that the State of Yu wanted to intervene in the war with the State of Wu, and these people actually shared a common hatred for the enemy.

Li Rui was about to step down from the platform.

Nie Siming said, "Brother Li, that man is Tu Xuan from Zhulong City. He is born with the power of a diamond, has great strength, and has a domineering Jianghe Qi. You must be careful."

Li Rui glanced at Nie Siming.

Nod slightly.

Then he walked down the platform without hesitation.

Come to the altar.

Seeing that Li Rui really got his comeuppance, Tu Xuan grinned, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

The reason why he dared to stand out.

Of course, it is because he has someone backing him up. As long as he can defeat Li Rui today, he will receive a generous reward.

He is also a staunch advocate of war.

He was extremely disgusted with the military action taken by the State of Yu.

"Yu people, you are very courageous, but unfortunately, you came at the wrong time."

Tu Xuan licked his lips.

Just when the atmosphere was tense.

An official from the Wu Kingdom spoke up.

"Lord Li is an envoy who has come to my Wu country. If we resort to violence, people will think that we Wu people do not know etiquette."

Tu Xuan looked at the official who spoke with impatience.

Since there were people who opposed the State of Yu's military action, there were naturally also people who supported it.

The young official in front of you is him.

As the young official spoke, the voices of agreement grew louder and louder.

Tu Xuan had no choice but to be patient and glared at the young official: "Then tell me, what do you want to do?"

The young official smiled slightly:
"According to ancestral rules, the emperor should be asked to listen to the drums."
