Chapter 120: Situation Becomes Incompatible
Several horse-drawn carriages were traveling on the official road outside the East Gate, with Chi Mu Wang accompanied by the four great nine-segment elders. All eight segment elders, as powerful as dragons and majestic as tigers, gathered outside the East Gate.
On the official road, all traveling merchants and passing guests are prohibited from entering the road. The entire area outside the east gate is under martial law.
Akakawa did so, naturally having his own reasons, and didn't want the outside world to know that those missing girls cases were actually done by Akakawa himself.
Although he is a leader and speaks with absolute authority, after all, he still needs to consider his reputation.
Qin Wushuang smiled calmly, one person with a unique aura. He walked out slowly from the side of the road. From afar, he saw Akagi Ou, who had a face full of resentment, and his subordinates, who were eager to swallow him whole, but Qin Wushuang didn't care at all.
"Ah, King Akakawa, you're indeed a man of your word! Release him!"
Akamatsu no ō saw his son, Mitsuchika, on horseback, his life or death uncertain, and his anger reached its peak.
"Let Feier and Ben Wang say something."
"Qin Wushuang clapped his hands in agreement: 'Alright, let's talk!'"
He Yu Fei weakly lifted his head: "Your Majesty."
Akagi's head throbbed with pain, and he shouted: "Release!"
At the sound of the order, the girls in the horse carriage were pushed out one after another. There were seven or eight of them in total. Qin Wushuang swept her eyes over them and saw that her sister was indeed among them, her face pale but her eyes filled with unyielding spirit and anger.
Akagi Ou was also cunning and deliberately drove everyone out to see who Qin Wushuang would greet, so as to investigate the other's background.
Once his son is freed from danger, Akagami no King's revenge will come like a storm.
Akamatsu's hatred has reached a point where even all the water in the Three Rivers and Five Lakes cannot wash it away!
Qin Wushuang just coldly smiled and didn't say a word.
"Give each of them a horse, a bag of dry rations, and one hundred taels of silver!" Akagi King waved his hand, and all the things were prepared and sent to Wei.
"Your Excellency, I have already made concession after concession; isn't it time for you to speak now?"
Qin Wushuang smiled and nodded: "If everything goes smoothly, in half a month, the prince can reunite with your husband. If there is any difference in between..."
Akamatsu's face twitched slightly as he said, "Alright, I'll wait for you for half a month! If Fei can't return within half a month, then just wait and see! I don't care which noble family of Akamatsu Kingdom you are from, I swear that I will make your family go bankrupt and wipe out nine generations of your clan!"
Qin Wushuang's face was calm and serene, she shrugged her shoulders: "I'm waiting."
"Girls, it's Akagi who caught you, and it's also Akagi who sets you free! Remember this well: freedom doesn't come easily. If you want to live to see your parents again, leave now!" The girls were in a flurry, although most of them couldn't ride horses, they hastily climbed on and hurriedly left.
Qin Yu looked at Qin Wushuang with a puzzled expression, but didn't linger and rushed towards the official road.
She listened. She felt that the person's accent was somewhat familiar, but the other party obviously intentionally changed their tone. Qin Shou's intuition judged that this person should be her brother Qin Wushuang.
But in this case, Qin Xiao knew it was inconvenient to recognize each other. Otherwise, if Chi Mu Wang found out his brother's true identity, there would be endless troubles.
The two sides remained deadlocked until noon, when Qin Wushuang calculated that the girls had gone far away. He then burst out laughing: "Akagi King, it's not necessary for you to see me off. You'd better pray that nothing goes wrong in this half month. Otherwise..."
Having finished speaking, he turned around and urged his horse on, galloping away with a flourish.
Akagi's face turned pale, and with a wave of his hand, he stopped those family experts who tried to chase after him.
"Your Highness, have you figured it out?"
Akagi's face twitched with rage: "Who is that chick in blue, the beautiful one?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, according to the list, he is from Luojiang County."
"Luō Jiāng County?" Akagi's expression turned cold, and he asked in a stern voice, "What's your surname?"
"Last name is"
"Qin?" Akagi's expression suddenly froze. His face instantly became complex, and he muttered, "The surname Qin? The Qin family of Donglin? Could it be... him?"
"Qin Wushuang?" The family elders also realized at this time.
Akagi-ō swung his whip fiercely and shouted: "Investigate, thoroughly investigate! Donglin Qin family! I, the king, will not let your family be destroyed, I swear to be a man!"
"Report to the king, news from Nan Yun state city, Qin Wu Shuang once visited the West Gate's Da Jie Fu and invited all the owners of clothing stores and fabric shops in Nan Yun state to appraise a piece of cloth."
"Report to Your Highness, news from the Imperial Capital's Third Young Master: Qin Wushuang did not meet with Wu Sheng Daoren along with them. He has already left the Imperial Capital ahead of schedule!"
"Prince"
Various messages are pouring in continuously. All sorts of clues keep pointing towards the same direction.
Against the head, ten have, is Qin Wushuang!
Qin Wu Shuang
This is a name that makes Akagi Ou feel uncomfortable.
Third son He Yu Chong was originally going to take the first place in the trial, but as a result, he was robbed of the championship by a dark horse that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, this is an old grudge!
The eldest son wants to collect 360 Virgos born in the fourth month, fourth day, fourth hour and fourth quarter, and offer them to the extremely yin old man to practice his innate evil skills. After much difficulty gathering some, something bad happened again, and in the end, he even dragged the second son into it - all because of Qin Wushuang!
This is new
Old hatreds have not been eliminated, and new grudges are added!
If he could choose now, Akagi Ou had only one thought - to make the Eastern Forest Qin Clan completely disappear!
Of course, this matter involves a lot. Especially Qin Wushuang stood out in this trial, and it seems that he is the darling of Wu Sheng Mountain and the super idol of the entire Baoyue Kingdom.
To deal with him, but it's inconvenient to kill him directly. Just as he was thinking about this, a trusted aide rushed in quickly.
"Your Majesty, an imperial edict has arrived!"
An imperial edict? Akagi Hiro no longer hesitated, how could an imperial edict arrive at this time?
Akamatsu King and the current Emperor are brothers of the same clan. The ancestors were divided into Akamatsu King's territory, and although they are not biological brothers with the current Emperor, they can also be considered as brothers of the same clan.
Although nominally tribal brothers, the etiquette of ruler and subject cannot be neglected. With an imperial edict arriving, King Akamatsu did not dare to slack off, hastily tidying up his attire, going out to welcome it.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the eunuch who had brought the imperial edict smiled and said: "Your Highness, please listen to the decree!"
Akagi led all the sons and subordinates in the tribe, kneeling down to welcome the imperial edict. "By the grace of heaven, the Emperor decrees..." The eunuch began to read out the sacred edict in a shrill voice.
Akagi Ou was initially respectful and silent. However, as he listened to the words from behind, the more he felt that something was off. In the Emperor's sacred decree, it began by highly praising this martial arts tournament, then suddenly shifted to lavish praise on the champion who obtained first place in the martial arts tournament, and casually brought up the reward.
That's not all, but what really made Akagi King furious was the following content. It turned out that most of the territory awarded to the new king this time came from his own territory, Akagi King's territory. Nan Yunzhou, a state, and Qing Shu State next to Nan Yunzhou, the borders of the two states, all had to be carved out from his territory, Akagi King's territory.
Of course, the imperial family will also compensate Akagi ō for the territory owned by the imperial family in accordance with the territory.
If it weren't for the eunuch's announcement, Chi Mu Wang would have already exploded in anger on the spot.
The eunuch who read out the imperial edict smiled and said: "Your Highness, this is what His Majesty means. You may accept the edict!"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long long live!"
Those three cheers of "Long Live", were shouted with gritted teeth. In his heart, he had already cursed the current emperor more than a hundred times.
The eunuch knew that the King of Akagi was already furious, and naturally did not dare to linger. He carefully put on a smile: "Your Majesty, my task is complete, I will return to the Imperial Capital to report now."
"This king won't see you off far." Akagi Ou said calmly.
That eunuch had just walked out of the door when Chi Mu Wang slammed his fist on the chair.
Ka, ka, ka!
The chair suddenly shattered into pieces, scattered and broken.
"Qin Wushuang, again Qin Wushuang!" Akagi Ou's anger reached its peak, his inner fury burning to the extreme.
He knew that this imperial decree might not be the intention of the Emperor, but it was definitely the meaning from Wu Sheng Shan. In other words, Wu Sheng Shan's intention was very clear, which was to lift the champion of this martial arts competition.
This trial of the Wu Tong is organized by the Zhong Shu Guo for each affiliated country, and its significance runs deep. The King of Akagi asked himself that even if he were a king of one of the countries, it would not be convenient for him to deal with Qin Wushuang under the current situation.
However, old sorrows and new hatreds are piled up together. Now, he has to cut his own territory to give it to him, which is absolutely not something that the ruthless and cunning Akagami no ō can calmly accept!
"Your Highness, I have a plan here!"
The one who spoke was the Great Elder, the first of the nine elders of the family.
"Great elder, where did you come from?" Akagi King asked hastily.
"Your Highness, these virgins are needed for the extreme yin old man to practice his innate evil skills. I, Chi Mu Wang, am clearly no longer convenient to deal with the Qin family myself. And it was the Qin family's children who disrupted the extreme yin old man's cultivation. If we report this matter to the Dalo Empire's Extreme Yin Mountain, I believe the extreme yin old man will be furious. Borrowing a knife to kill someone... even the one from Wu Sheng Shan won't be able to stop the extreme yin old man."
Akamatsu's face was gloomy, and he slightly nodded his head, apparently approving of the elder's plan to kill with a borrowed knife. For an extremely powerful person like him in the Dahalo Empire, killing a prince of a vassal state was no different from killing a dog.
The Da Luo Empire has dozens of vassal states, and the champion of a small vassal state is not even worth mentioning in the eyes of an extremely powerful being like the Extreme Yin Old Man. Even if they were killed, the Da Luo Empire would likely only have room for compromise after weighing the pros and cons.
The imperial family of the Da Luo Empire cannot afford to fall out with the Extreme Yin Old Man over this matter.
This plan is very feasible!
But if the extremely evil old man is willing to take action, even if he himself does not come out of retirement, just sending an outstanding young disciple would be enough to easily and effortlessly destroy the entire Qin family!
Akagi's eyes were filled with malice and venom at this thought.
That's the plan. Kill two birds with one stone, and use someone else's knife to do it. Not only can we get rid of Qin Wushuang, that thorn in our side, but also establish He Yuchong's position as a top martial artist in the Empire!
Who is Wu Sheng Shan?
Hehe, although he's a born strongman, everyone knows. He's old and has reached the point where he can't avoid finding a successor!
