On the way from the main hall to the palace where Duke Pu lives, you will also pass by a palace.
That's where Zeng Hongshen lived.
When Emperor Xin passed by the palace where Zeng Hongshen lived, he did not feel the energy and blood belonging to Zeng Hongshen. Then he was not surprised at all, and he did not even send Han Wu who was following him to find Zeng Hongshen.
And when he came to the palace where Duke Pu lived, he was not surprised to feel two strong qi and blood.
Apart from Di Xin, who is in the hidden realm, there are only two innate grand masters in the palace now.
Therefore, it is obvious who the two qi and blood in the palace belong to the second realm powerhouse are.
After Zeng Hongshen received the order for Emperor Xin, he was once again pulled in by Pu Gong, who had been waiting for two days, to discuss martial arts.
With such an obsession with martial arts, being able to break through to the innate realm in a small and barren country like Goguryeo was obviously not Park Gong's luck, but the result of his hard work.
The reason why Di Xin was not surprised was because he guessed that Zeng Hongshen was here.
Otherwise, in order to ensure that his cultivation will not be exposed, even if he is basically at ease with Mr. Pu, he will definitely come to Zeng Hongshen in person before he comes to see Mr. Pu.
Details determine success or failure, and Di Xin will not find it troublesome because of the tedious details.
When Di Xin and Han Wu stood at the entrance of the palace, the two qi and blood in the palace fell silent at the same time.
Although it is still as dazzling as a torch in Di Xin's perception, the tit-for-tat feeling caused by the collision of martial arts has disappeared.
Now that he was discovered, Di Xin did not take any unnecessary action.
After Han Wu pushed open the palace door, he stepped in.
Han Wu closed the door and stood outside.
Zeng Hongshen and Pu Gong, who had already noticed Emperor Xin's arrival, stood up at the same time.
Zeng Hongshen cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness."
Park Gongze still followed the original Goguryeo etiquette, clenching his fists as big as sandbags and pressing them against his hard chest, bowing slightly to salute.
"I have met Prince Daliyu."
"Mr. Park, you don't need to be polite."
Di Xin smiled, and after sitting down, he turned his back on guests and said, "You two, please take a seat." This was Pu Gong's residence.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Thank you, Prince Yu."
After thanking him, Zeng Hongshen and Pu Gong sat down again.
Since Di Xin came here, he was naturally looking for Mr. Pu, so after sitting down, Zeng Hongshen said no more.
Mr. Pu, after a moment of silence, took the initiative and asked: "I wonder if Prince Yu is here suddenly, but do you have something to say?"
Di Xin already knew that the more direct he could talk to Mr. Pu, the better.
Therefore, he did not say any complimentary words, but said bluntly: "To be honest with Mr. Pu, I have something to trouble Mr. Pu when I come here this time."
Mr. Pu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked in a loud voice: "I don't know what the matter is, but it actually requires Prince Yu to come in person."
Di Xin said: "The delay in Khan City has been long enough. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the army to leave Khan City to attack the Huihe tribe."
"Pu Gong should know that starting from Khan City and heading south, the army will pass through several cities before leaving the territory before Goguryeo."
"What your Highness means..." Mr. Pu had a vague guess in his mind.
Emperor Xin took over Duke Pu's words and said: "I am leading an expedition to defeat the unjust army that has invaded our country, Dali. It is not for the purpose of plundering and killing."
"Now that your nephew has signed a surrender letter, he will no longer have any worries about invading our border with Dali. Naturally, I am not willing to cause more killings."
"It's just that along the way, the defenders in those cities didn't know whether they would resist stubbornly after seeing the surrender documents."
"Pu Gong is a member of the original royal family and the only innate grand master before. I think that if Pu Gong is willing to personally persuade, the defenders in those cities may be willing to lay down their weapons."
"The king is here just to ask Mr. Pu if he can agree to my request?"
Although he had already vaguely guessed, Mr. Pu still fell into silence after listening to Di Xin's words.
Di Xin didn't urge him, he just sat on the chair and waited silently for Mr. Park's decision.
After a long time, Mr. Pu asked bitterly: "If I answer no, I wonder how Prince Yu will handle the matter?"
Di Xin said calmly: "This is just a request from my king. Mr. Pu is not a member of my Dali family, nor is he a person under my command. If he is not willing, I will naturally not force it."
"As for the defenders in those cities."
Di Xin paused for a moment and continued: "If I had put down my weapons and surrendered when my army came to the city, I would not have abused them."
"But if you continue to resist stubbornly, you can't blame me for not showing mercy."
There was no murderous intention or any other meaning. Di Xin seemed to be just stating a fact, his tone was extremely calm.
But Mr. Park fell silent again.
The meaning of Prince Daliyu is actually very simple.
Why he doesn't want to cause more killings is just talk. Prince Daliyu doesn't care about the life or death of the defenders from several cities.
In that city that was renamed Hu City, Pu Gong already knew the combat power of Prince Yu's immortal army from the battle report.
He knew that even if the expeditionary force in Khan City was not complete, it would not be difficult to capture those cities without many defenders.
The reason why Prince Yu asked him to come forward to persuade the defenders to surrender was because he didn't want to waste time by attacking the city. He didn't really find it troublesome.
Duke Pu knew that with his personal persuasion, the chances of those defenders choosing to surrender would be very high.
But regardless of the issue of stance, those soldiers who still guarded the city after the royal family surrendered represented the last trace of the Goguryeo nation's unyielding power.
When the emperor signed the surrender letter, it would be okay if he did nothing, but if he helped Prince Da Liyu to persuade the defenders in those cities to surrender, no matter what the reason was, no matter what the future direction of Goguryeo was, history
He will inevitably become a sinner of Goguryeo.
But, is it really necessary for so many defenders to die just because of his reputation?
As a pure martial artist, even though Park Gong was a member of Goguryeo's royal family, after reading many books by Dali sages, he could not be as indifferent as a real member of the royal family.
Those defenders were also the original people of Goguryeo.
This country is hopeless. Compared with his own reputation, Mr. Park is more willing to let more people survive.
This can be regarded as the last thing he can do for these past people as a member of the original royal family of Goguryeo.
