Special War God

Chapter 181 Arriving at Wudu

After a moment of silence, Xia Zhongnan announced firmly: "I'm going to find her!"

Lang Zhengfeng responded nervously: "Xiao Fei, please stay calm. Wudu is not the border of the war-torn Bai Kingdom. It is particularly sensitive now. Senior cultivators from all over the country have gathered here, and there are many powerful masters who have returned to the void. In addition, the country master, a giant of the Hedao, is here. You must act with caution."

Xia Zhongnan explained: "I understand. I just want to see Xu Qian again. I won't act rashly. She asked me to go find her when she left. If I don't meet her before she gets married, I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Although Xia Zhongnan promised to deal with it rationally, Lang Zhengfeng and Liu Dabazi were still nervous. They knew that Xia Zhongnan was not someone who was afraid of challenges.

Lang Zhengfeng recalled that in the Immortal Palace Ruins, Xia Zhongnan desperately broke through the siege of the White Country Huanxu cultivators to save him. At that time, there were more than 40 people of the same level on the field. He said with emotion and worry: "Xiao Fei, I tell you this because I hope you can be prepared in advance, so as not to cause trouble when the time comes."

Tu Shan Fang'er interrupted, "Brother, don't listen to them. You should go and get Sister Xu Qian back! Since you two love each other, how can you let her fall into the arms of others? My fellow beasts and I will lend you a hand."

Liu Dabazi knew nothing about Tu Shan Fang'er's true identity, and only believed in Xia Zhongnan's trust and regarded her as his follower. Seeing her stirring up emotions, he angrily rebuked: "What does this have to do with you? Stop talking!"

Tu Shan Fang'er looked at Liu Dabazi, with a mysterious light flashing in her eyes.

She only respected Xia Zhongnan and didn't care about Liu Dabazi and Lang Zhengfeng. When she was scolded at this moment, she was ready to teach them a lesson without fear.

Liu Dabazi's hair stood on end instantly, and he felt like he was being targeted by a ferocious beast king.

Lang Zhengfeng had been to the ruins of the Immortal Palace and knew a little about Tu Shan Fang'er's background. He quickly tried to smooth things over: "General Liu, everyone has a different stance. How can you deprive others of their right to speak? Don't do this again in the future!"

He speculated that Tu Shan Fang'er might be a transformed beast, and he didn't know that she had used the "Thousand Changes Galan". Otherwise, he would pay more attention to this girl.

With Lang Zhengfeng's reminder and Liu Dabazi's personal experience of the pressure brought by Tu Shan Fang'er, he no longer dared to look down on her and smiled awkwardly: "My mouth deserves a slap, please don't blame me Miss Fang'er!"

Tu Shanfang'er then restrained her breath and returned to normal.

Liu Dabazi recited his apology, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Judging from the pressure that Tu Shan Fang'er had just revealed, he felt that he could not resist her power.

For a long time, he had always regarded Tu Shan Fang'er as a maid beside Xia Zhongnan, but now he knew that she was actually a god-level existence!

In addition to being shocked, he also had doubts in his heart: "Where did Xiao Fei find such a god to serve as a maid? What secrets are hidden in this situation?"

His understanding of Xia Zhongnan became increasingly vague, and he only felt that his realm was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Xia Zhongnan also felt the deterrent power released by Tu Shan Fang'er.

Her former strength was indeed extraordinary, she was able to compete with Qinglong and could easily fight against more than a dozen human gods. However, her hidden power was incomparable to that of the past.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had advanced to the third level so quickly?

Counting the time carefully, it has been nearly three months since she left Fengqi Mountain. Although it has been less than a hundred days, she once said that there will be a breakthrough within a hundred days, so it is not impossible for her to really step into the third realm.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhongnan felt much less depressed.

Although he had not yet set foot in Wudu, when he heard the news that Xu Qian was engaged, he realized that this journey might not be easy.

In order to help Liu Dabazi win the position of governor, he had already made plans in his mind and secretly arranged it. If the time was right, he would reap the rewards. If the opportunity did not come, he could take a step back and seek the protection of Lang Zhengfeng.

However, he felt that Xu Qian's affairs were beyond his control.

After spending so many years together, how could he not sense Xu Qian's feelings?

He had no idea that Xu Qian was escaping a divorce agreement, let alone that the person she was betrothed to was the son of the royal family. He did not delve into many details, but only subjectively assumed that Xu Qian might be struggling in her heart and was not firm in her feelings for him.

Now that he knew Xu Qian's situation, he realized the source of his conflicting feelings.

Although she loved him, she did not express her feelings explicitly because she was afraid that the engagement would bring him unknown dangers. This also implied her desire to protect him.

Anyone who is engaged to a royal family would not dare to fall in love with someone else easily, even if they resist in their heart, because they are afraid of revenge from the royal family.

Thinking through all this, Xia Zhongnan felt the pain in his heart becoming more and more acute.

He said, "I need to be alone for a while, you guys go out first."

Lang Zhengfeng and Liu Dabazi sighed softly and left. Gu Xiuzhan and Tu Shanfang'er also followed them out and closed the door gently.

After everyone left, Xia Zhongnan began to make anxious plans.

He imagined various possible situations and thought about how he could escape safely with Xu Qian.

All of his past strategies were based on "going with the flow".

However, this time, no matter how carefully he thought about it, the development of events could not follow the trend. He had to go against the current, like "fishing chestnuts in the fire".

Xu Qian is not alone, she still has a family, it is impossible for her to elope with him without caring about the safety of her family... ...

At the port outside the mysterious Wudu City, a strange fleet arrived. The shore had already been crowded with people welcoming them, and their presence seemed to weave a fantastic picture. In the central Holy Spirit Square, the second prince Wu Huaide, representing the mysterious country, led the civil officials and military generals to hold a sacred welcoming ceremony.

Grand Chancellor Tang Huaigang, Grand Commandant Zou Wenwu, and Grand Tutor An Shubao, all sages from the Second Prince's faction, were present, as well as Prime Minister Qu Tongtian, Minister of War Tu Shiyun, Prince An Xie Shuyi, and other people from the First Prince's lineage. The scene was unprecedentedly spectacular. Originally, the King was supposed to come in person, but the First Prince declined on the grounds that he needed to meditate and practice, so the important task fell on the shoulders of the Second Prince. No matter which prince presided over it, it was a high recognition and honor for Wen Yulou and the expeditionary army.

Wen Yulou was beaming with joy, as brisk as a horse. The expeditionary army completed its mission in just over three years, and today marked a perfect end. Even though the journey had been tortuous and the final outcome was regrettable, it did not affect his merits. He opened up nine magical territories for the five kingdoms. Since the birth of the Wu Kingdom, no one could match his feat of territorial expansion.

His position in the court and the army is more stable, and the rewards from the king are expected to be extremely generous. Anyone who reaches his position will establish his own cultivation family. With the rich cultivation resources bestowed by the king, his family will soon become the most prominent family in Wuguo, second only to the royal family, and will be envied by countless people.

During these two days, the Xu Mansion's courtyard was as quiet as usual. Qu Tongtian and others waited until the next morning, and then Xu Dejing went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to pay a visit, and Xie Shuyi also went to the First Prince's Mansion, hoping to learn whether the two princes had returned, and at the same time eager to learn about the duel. However, they only received the reply that the princes needed to practice in seclusion and should not be disturbed, and they got no information about the duel.

As they could not get any accurate information, Xu Dejing, Qu Tongtian and others speculated that the three princes might have died together in the contest and needed to retreat to heal their wounds. However, they were surprised to find that the second prince appeared in Wudu City safely, but he remained silent about the contest and did not propose marriage to the Xu family again, making the matter confusing. However, they did not dare to ask the second prince directly, and could only silently bear the doubts in their hearts about the truth of what happened between the three princes. In this way, the incident of the three princes proposing marriage at the same time seemed to fade away, and no one mentioned it again...

However, the quieter it was, the more worried Xu Dejing felt.

Doesn’t this herald the eve of the storm?

Today, the second son of the Huang family led civil and military officials to welcome Wen Yulou and the expeditionary force who returned victoriously from the battlefield. No one from the Xu family attended, and even Xu Shouting, who was busy outside, was called back home by Xu Dejing.

Xu Shouting was originally full of joy.

After the efforts of the two brothers, it was a foregone conclusion that he would seize the throne of the new state, and all that was left was for the monarch to formally announce the appointment.

Unexpectedly, after being recalled by Xu Dejing, Xu Dejing solemnly revealed the news that the three princes were fighting for Xu Qian's marriage contract.

It was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Xu Shouting instantly.

In this kingdom of the cultivation world, unlike the ancient Chinese imperial court, strength is respected here, and the royal family with the strongest military force holds absolute power.

Unless they have the support of the Hedao monks, no minister would dare to harbor rebellious thoughts, and even the local princes would not dare to have any other intentions.

Disobeying the royal family may very likely lead to the destruction of the entire family.

If the Xu family could marry any of the princes, regardless of Xu Qian's feelings, it would undoubtedly be a way for them to cling to the powerful, improve their status, and become royal relatives.

However, with three princes proposing marriage, and Xu Qian being the only one, this would inevitably anger the other two families, which was definitely not a good sign for the Xu family.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to hide it from Xu Qian any longer.

After discussing, the two brothers decided to let Xu Qin tell Xu Qian the truth.

Hearing that Prince Chengjie came to propose marriage and wanted to take her as a concubine, Xu Qian's face changed drastically, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Don't do this, father won't agree, right?"

She had met Wu Chengjie before and knew him well. She had even slapped him in the face. How could she be willing to be his concubine?

Xu Qin replied: "Does my father have any choice about his wishes? Fortunately, my father has already accepted the betrothal gift from Mr. Huang Si. We can use this as an excuse to resist the proposals from Mr. Huang Da and Mr. Huang Er."

Xu Qian asked: "What happened next?"

Xu Qin replied, "Afterwards, the eldest son Huang ordered Prime Minister Qu Tongtian, Minister of War Tu Shiyun, and Prince An Xie Shuyi to accompany my father to the residence of the fourth son Huang to cancel the engagement. Fortunately, the fourth son Huang withstood the pressure and came to our villa in person to argue with the eldest son Huang and denounce his deceitful behavior."

Xu Qian asked: "Can the Fourth Master Huang compete with the First Master Huang?"

Xu Qin said: "Afterwards, the three princes gathered in our courtyard and claimed that they would follow the monarch's rules to decide which family would marry you."
