Chapter 1022.
An icy coldness flooded Murong Huide’s eyes.
The temperature in the surrounding space instantly dropped.
This Pingtian Army Envoy was a Heaven’s Pride first-class character who had already stepped into the fifth rank at a young age, and in the eyes of many, he represented the future of the Pingtian Army and was the heavy bet that the Murong Family had pressed on Zhang Anliang.
Since joining the Pingtian Army, Murong Huide had been personally taught by Zhang Anliang, and had developed an extremely high level of reverence for the great chief, so naturally, he could not allow outsiders to denigrate him.
Most importantly, Murong Huide did not truly regard Wang Chen and Princess Qing Yun in his eyes.
Even though the battle at Hanhai Pass had long been rumored throughout the world!
However, just as this Murong Family’s son attempted to show his prowess, an even more powerful force steeply enveloped him, causing his entire body to suddenly fall into an abyss.
His qi and blood froze and his astral energy solidified, and he unexpectedly lost control of himself.
Intense fear instantly surged into Murong Huade’s heart, causing his face to lose all color in an instant.
Only then did Murong Huide realize that he had made a huge mistake.
With all his strength, he barely lowered his head.
Intuition told this Pingtian Military Envoy that if he continued to be unruly, he was bound to have bad luck.
Even if he didn’t die, he would have to suffer an unbearable loss!
As the saying goes, those who know what’s right are wise, even if there is humiliation in his heart, Murong Huide still chose to bow his head.
And at the same time Murong Huide admitted defeat, the pressure exerted on him suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Murong Huide subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, and then his face turned red.
Only to hear Wang Chen say indifferently, “Speak, what do you want?”
Murong Huide couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and no longer dared to make a move, “Your Highness the Princess, Lord Taifu ……”
As an emissary of the Pingtian Army, he represented the intention of the Holy Heavenly King Zhang Anliang, which was for the Pingtian Army to form an alliance with the New Hanhai Army to fight against Emperor Yuan Jing and the vassal forces.
After winning the world of Da Liang, they would then divide their respective territories.
In addition, if the New Hanhai Army intends to attack Great Yan in the future, the Pingtian Army is willing to send troops to help!
It should be said that the sincerity of the alliance on the side of the Pingtian Army is quite sufficient, in addition to signing an offensive and defensive alliance, it is also willing to trade with each other, using the grain, silk, salt and other materials produced under the jurisdiction of the Pingtian Army to exchange for the horses of the Xihai County and the ores of the Hanhai County.
“The alliance is exempt.”
After hearing this, Wang Chen said without thinking, “Non-aggression is fine, and mutual trade is also fine.”
An alliance with the Rebel Party?
Really thought he was a fool!
If Princess Qing Yun made an alliance with Zhang Anliang, then she would immediately become a thorn in Emperor Yuan Jing’s side.
The prime target of the crusade!
You should know that Jichuan County, which borders West Sea County, is loyal to Emperor Yuan Jing, and the border between the two counties has no dangers to defend, so the latter’s army can drive straight in, or send small groups to attack frequently.
This will definitely bring great obstacles and troubles to Wang Chen’s plan.
Furthermore, the rebel party was unpopular in many places, while Princess Qing Yun was representing the orthodoxy of Da Liang!
Wang Dust’s categorical reply caused Murong Huide to be a little disappointed and couldn’t help but look at Princess Qing Yun.
Hoping that the latter would think differently.
That would be great.
As a result, Princess Qing Yun looked at her eyes and put on an attitude of staying out of it, causing Murong Huai De to lose even more.
There was no way around it, he could only continue to negotiate with Wang Dust who had a strong attitude.
After all, to reach an agreement on non-aggression and mutual trade is also much better than going back without any success.
After some negotiation, both sides reached a relevant verbal agreement.
Murong Huide is want to mutual and exchange of documents, this agreement in the text, the results were wang dust mouth refused.
There was nothing he could do about it.
However, the other party had traveled a long way to Xihai County, and had also presented Princess Qing Yun with a generous gift from Zhang Anliang, so Wang Dust returned the gift of five hundred warhorses to this envoy.
The war horses produced by the West Sea Grassland are considered to be strategic materials, and under normal circumstances, trading is strictly prohibited.
But Wang Dust extorted 30,000 good horses from Great Yan, and with the West Sea County, the quantity far exceeds the current needs of the New Hanhai Army, so it is not bad to use it to exchange for food, silk and other materials.
After all, the price of grain was also rising right now.
After dismissing this envoy, Wang Dust said to Princess Qing Yun, “The Pingtian Army should be preparing to attack Huashan County.”
Currently, the Pingtian Army occupied three counties in the south, and the West Sea County was separated from the Huai Shan County, so the other party suddenly sent a delegation to visit and try to reach an alliance, and its intention could not be clearer.
It was worth mentioning that Jingnan County, where Wang Chen originally came from, was one of the three counties controlled by the Pingtian Army!
Princess Qing Yun asked, “Master, so is it a good or bad thing for us if they capture Huai Shan County?”
This royal maiden was endeavoring to learn to be a good ruler, and was never shy to ask for advice in front of Wang Chen.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, she was a puppet controlled by Wang Dust, a flag of self-reliance.
However, Princess Qing Yun herself knew very well that Wang Chen sincerely wanted her to become the first female emperor of Great Liang!
Wang Chen once told Princess Qing Yun that once she ascended to the throne, she would hide behind the curtain and never show her face again, leaving the task of sweeping the entire world to her to accomplish.
Princess Qing Yun’s trust in Wang Dust was also unbreakable!
“There are good and bad.”
Wang Dust thought about it and said, “Let them bounce around for a few years for now, as long as they don’t come to mess with us, just pretend they don’t exist.”
If the Pingtian Army captures the Huai Shan County and obtains a large amount of war horses and ores from the West Sea and Hanhai Counties, their ambitions and power are bound to expand greatly.
As the saying goes, would they allow others to snore beside their couch, it was only natural for them to set their sights on West Sea County.
But as long as the Pingtian Army adheres to the agreement, Wang Dust won’t make any moves.
But if the Pingtian Army aimed their spearhead at Xihai County, then Wang Dust would naturally let them taste the flavor of gunpowder and projectiles!
Princess Qing Yun nodded.
She gazed at Wang Dust, unable to hide the admiration and reverence in the depths of her eyes.
Over the next few months, the total number of northern stragglers who had migrated to Xihai County had broken the million mark.
Due to the strong response on the side of the New Hansea Army, coupled with the purchase of a large amount of food supplies through the Fuqing Chamber of Commerce as well as the Pingtian Army’s mutual market trade, the impact caused by these stragglers was absorbed.
After nearly four months of construction, with huge manpower and material resources invested, the seventy-two mountain and river pillars were completed one after another in Hanhai County.
In addition, Wang Chen also used a large number of workers to build a large palace in the suburbs of Hanhai County.
During this period of time, he ran around non-stop, engraving all the pillars of the mountain and river with spell formation runes.
At this point, the mountain and river array all completed, only to be sacrificed to the sky to start!
Wang Dust set this date on the third day of March.
