The matter was settled like this, but it was not so easy to implement. The marriage of Wang Yue and Xu Weixiong was delayed, and more than a year passed.
Fortunately, the person involved was not in a hurry, and Wu Su could just take his time to recuperate.
Xu Xiao also spent more than a year secretly making arrangements to prepare for Beiliang's return to Xia.
However, he did not tell anyone about Wu Su's resurrection, and he had no intention of taking a stand for the time being.
On this day, Wang Yue and Jiang Ni were preparing to pray for the dead Beiliang warriors on Qingliang Mountain and discuss the matter of marrying the Beiliang princess.
Therefore, along the way, Wang Yue took the betrothal gift all the way north without using Wuju.
But just as Wang Yue was about to take a boat to Yongzhou, a large number of naval troops surged in from the east. Looking at the scene that covered the sky and the sun, there must be at least tens of thousands of naval troops.
When Wang Yue saw the flag of King Jing'an on the bow of the ship, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Is this old man tired of living a life full of courage?
He immediately ordered the ship he was on to turn around and face the surging Qingzhou navy.
When the ships on both sides were still hundreds of feet apart, Wang Yue snorted coldly and said, "King Jing'an, are you, Qingzhou, preparing to go to war with our Xia Kingdom?"
"Emperor Xia, I don't dare to start a war, but I have to negotiate the terms no matter what."
The old voice of King Jingan was heard from the Jingzhou navy flagship, and his figure slowly appeared on the bow of the ship.
Wang Yue thought for a moment and understood what was going on. He asked curiously, "I don't know what your confidence is? Could it be that if we don't negotiate properly, you still have the ability to kill me here?"
Seeing that Wang Yue was not worried at all, King Jing'an sneered and said, "Although I may not be able to kill you, I, Qingzhou Navy, and Chen Zhibao from Yongzhou, I'm afraid it's impossible for you to welcome the bride normally."
When Wang Yue saw what King Jing'an said, he turned to look at Yongzhou on the other side of the river, and asked curiously, "So, Chen Zhibao, the governor of Yongzhou, is already here?"
"Yes, I have been waiting for you for a long time too!"
As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, Chen Zhibao's voice came from across the river.
Although there were only a few dozen riders around Chen Zhibao, Wang Yuan could feel that these were first-class masters. Presumably, this was all the manpower Chen Zhibao could mobilize.
Wang Yue said with some displeasure, "It seems that the two of you have united long ago. Have you been planning to take action against my Shuzhou for a long time?"
But King Jing'an smiled and said, "When Emperor Xia said this, he was too bullying. You robbed my princess in Xiangfan City, and you are going to rob the person Chen Zhibao likes. We two frustrated people joined forces to fight against each other."
Together, there is nothing strange."
Wang Yue did not expect that these two lovelorn people would form an alliance, so he said angrily, "It sounds like you are at a disadvantage. Back then, you gave me your princess and begged me to give her to you.
Taken away.
As for Chen Zhibao, I am also a little curious. If there is never any possibility between you and Xu Weixiong, the most fundamental reason is because of your own ambition. Why are you here?"
Chen Zhibao didn't care even though he was looked down upon. He said calmly, "I am the King of Shu. Taking it back to Shuzhou is a normal thing. Even if it is not for love, it can be for profit."
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "It sounds better to say it than to sing it, but do you have the strength to stop me?"
There was silence for a while, and then King Jing'an said solemnly, "Emperor Xia, I don't know what Chen Zhibao thinks, but I just want to know if I can retain the rights of King Jing'an if I surrender to you."
Wang Yue knew that King Jing'an always paid attention to interests, so he said solemnly, "I think King Jing'an also knows the situation of our Xia Kingdom. If you submit, King Jing'an will certainly keep it for you.
However, if you need to hand over your military power, you can enjoy the welfare money allocated by the treasury like those old families in Xia Kingdom.
As long as the Xia Kingdom is immortal, you will always be able to enjoy glory and wealth, this is what I can guarantee."
King Jing'an had long known that unless they rebelled and succeeded, their military power would have to be handed over sooner or later. Compared with Emperor Liyang, he felt that it might be more beneficial to cooperate with Wang Yue.
After all, the old ministers of Western Shu who followed Wang Yue are living a good life now. It can be said that they have endless money to spend, and no one dares to offend them.
But following the emperor from Liyang, I'm afraid they won't be so comfortable, and they might be killed if they don't do it.
He was not afraid that Wang Yue would regret it. He also had a trump card, so he said solemnly, "In this case, I need a hereditary King Jing'an."
Wang Yue smiled and nodded and said, "That's definitely no problem. As long as you don't take the initiative to break the law, if someone provokes you, of course you will be punished."
When King Jing'an saw what Wang Yue said, he was relieved in his heart. If possible, no one would want to be a minister.
However, they are surrounded by wolves near Qingzhou and do not have the strength to conquer the world. They always need to find someone to take refuge with.
He originally wanted to cooperate with Chen Zhibao, but he could feel that Chen Zhibao was too influenced by Beiliang, so he might as well come together to discuss terms with Wang Yue.
He said solemnly, "In that case, I will go back and wait for news from you."
After King Jingan finished speaking, he turned around and entered the cabin. The Qingzhou Navy turned around and left. He also wanted to write a letter to ask Wang Xianzhi what he meant.
Wang Yue watched the Qingzhou Navy leave, then looked back at Chen Zhibao, and asked curiously, "It seems that you are not planning to start a war today. Now that King Jingan's terms have been negotiated, what are your terms?
"
Chen Zhibao looked at Wang Yue seriously and said solemnly, "I want to know how you convinced the second princess. I know her temper very well. She is not someone who is willing to look back."
Wang Yue knew what Chen Zhibao wanted to ask, so he said solemnly, "I'm afraid you haven't returned to Beiliang Prince's Mansion for a long time, right?"
Chen Zhibao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I haven't been back for a long time since I came to Yongzhou. Did something happen to the palace?"
Wang Yue smiled and nodded, and said solemnly, "I'm afraid you still don't know what happened in the palace. It's because the Beiliang Palace has very tight control now, and no news can be spread. This is why you can't get anything."
The reason for the message.
If you are not in a hurry to start a war, you can follow me back to the Northern Liang Palace. If you still want to start a war then, I would not mind conquering Yongzhou."
Chen Zhibao sneered and said seriously, "In that case, I will go back to the Beiliang Prince's Mansion with you. As for who will win, we will have equal means."
When Wang Yue saw what Chen Zhibao said, he said with emotion, "I originally thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect that you fell into the Liyang Dynasty's plan and actually refused to leave your own country after becoming the King of Shu.
The land is closed."
He could see that Chen Zhibao seemed to have broken through. He might have reached the realm of land gods, or even higher. Plus there were so many masters behind this man. If he really tried his best, the former Wang Yue would not have escaped if he didn't escape.
Maybe they will really stay.
But it's different now. Wang Yue has broken through to a higher level. Chen Zhibao is nothing to him.
Precisely because of this, Wang Yue didn't want to kill someone who was insignificant to him, which would affect his plan to take in Beiliang.
For Wang Yue, unifying the world and obtaining the position of human emperor is more important.
After all, if you want to fight against the gods in the sky, only the Human Emperor can restrain their magical powers.
Therefore, when he saw that Chen Zhibao had agreed, he said solemnly, "In that case, you can lead the way."
Chen Zhibao nodded, and then said to his men, "You go back first, and we will talk about everything after I come back."
Although Yao Jian was a little reluctant, after hearing this, he still nodded and left with the others, leaving only Chen Zhibao alone, who joined Wang Yue's team and headed towards Beiliang.

Southern Xinjiang, Yanla Palace
King Yanla looked at Nalan Youci beside him and said solemnly, "Youci, what do you think of King Jing'an's meeting with Emperor Xia at the Shu River?"
Nalan Youci's brows had been furrowed as he was thinking about this matter. Now after hearing King Yanla's inquiry, he sighed and said, "King Jing'an has no chance of getting the throne. He thinks
I came here to seek refuge with Emperor Xia."
King Yanla was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some doubts, "Isn't that true? Our informants have always received news that King Jing'an and Chen Zhibao have an ambiguous relationship. Aren't they planning to attack the Xia Kingdom together?"
Nalan Youci frowned and said with some uncertainty, "So they must have thought so, but something must have happened? This made King Jing'an hesitate."
King Yanla understood that Nalan Youci was right, so he said uneasily, "Youci, what do you think happened?
Originally, I had been waiting for news from King Jing'an, waiting for him to invite me to besiege Xia Kingdom together. I even prepared my troops and horses, but he suddenly did this, which made me a little confused.
Could it be that he was threatened by Wang Yue?"
Nalan Youci sighed and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I guess it was some tacit understanding between Wang Yue and Xu Xiao that made King Jing'an change his mind."
King Yanla frowned and said with some reluctance, "But since last year, the Beiliang Palace has suddenly stepped up its precautions. Our spies can't tell any news, and no one knows what happened there."
Nalan Youci shook his head and said solemnly, "No matter what happens, the most important thing for us is what should we do next?"
