After the Snow Star Mission left Tiancang City, Tiancang City quickly returned to its previous state, bustling with excitement, and the people were no longer restrained when walking on the road, and were not as depressed as before.
However, some things that happened before are still kept in many people's hearts and have not been forgotten.
The fifth prince of Xuexing was killed. Is that the end of the matter?
I'm afraid not yet. After all, the real culprit has not been caught yet. Xuexing is very likely to take revenge, but I don't know when.
However, this is too far away for most people. In contrast, some changes that have taken place in Tiancang City are even more talked about by the people.
Last time, the Hua family sent invitations to all the major family forces, claiming that the Hua family would marry the Snow Star royal family. It was so grand that they wanted to let everyone know about it.
However, Xing Fan was killed and the matter naturally went unsolved. Even the reputation of the Hua family suffered a huge impact due to this incident and became a laughing stock among many people.
After all, the Hua family is one of the four major families in Tiancang City, but wanting to establish a relationship with the Xuexing royal family was a bit suspected of surrendering to the enemy. In the end, the marriage was not held, which undoubtedly made all the actions of the Hua family look extremely...
Ridiculous, like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain.
Some people say that the head of the Hua family was greatly hit by this incident and that he has become much older. However, few people sympathize with him and think that he brought it upon himself and was destined to do so.
If he hadn't been so positive about this matter, he probably wouldn't have been hit so hard. In the final analysis, his desire was too strong, but many times, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
In the Tai Cang Hall, King Cang was sitting on the throne, and there was a letter on the desk in front of him, which was sent from Xuexing.
This letter was written by King Snow Star himself.
After reading the contents of this letter, King Cang's face looked extremely solemn.
Xingruo's attitude in the letter was extremely strong, asking him to send Xiao Muyang to Xuexing within three days, otherwise, troops would be sent to attack the border.
Xingruo only gave him three days. If he didn't hand over the people, he would directly launch a war.
King Cang was dubious about Xing Ruo's threat. Xing Ruo's behavior had always been extremely decisive and he would often start wars. Not to mention that his favorite heir died in Canglan, so starting a war was a matter of course.
However, Qin Shang should have told Xingruo about Confucius Mountain. Now that Canglan has two Tiangang figures, how could Xingruo have the confidence to start a war directly?
At this point, he felt very confused.
Then he summoned Cangtian Lord and Cangtian Lindu, told them about the matter, and asked: "How likely are you to start a war?"
"According to Xuexing's usual style, I think Xingruo didn't just talk casually. As for the threat from Confucius Mountain, they may not care much about it." Cang Tianlin expressed his thoughts.
"Why?" King Cang looked at Cang Tianlin and asked.
"I have to ask the prince." Cang Tianlin glanced at Cang Tianjun beside him, causing Cangtian Jun's expression to change. What does this have to do with him?
"Xiao Muyang is the descendant of Confucius Mountain, Xue Xing must know this, and the prince has repeatedly killed Xiao Muyang. I'm afraid no one will think that Confucius Mountain will serve the royal family." Cang Tianlin said, with sharp edges in his words.
Cang Tianlin seems to be different from before. In the past, he always competed with Cang Tianjun in secret, but now it has become extremely obvious and leaves no room for error.
The reason for doing this is because Cangtianlin sensed a crisis.
He found that even if the prince had done something wrong, the king's trust in him had not diminished at all. If he did not take action, he might not be able to get the throne, so he decided to be more aggressive and win the king's trust head-on.
"This is just your guess." Cang Tianjun glanced at Cang Tianlin and retorted: "If Confucius Mountain joins forces with the royal family, Xuexing will face disaster. Does Xingruo dare to take the risk?"
"The prince seems to be very optimistic about the situation." Cang Tianlin showed a sarcastic smile and looked directly at Cang Tianjun and said: "In terms of playing power, I may not be as good as you, but when it comes to marching and fighting, do you think you are better than me?"
Cang Tianlin's words can be described as aggressive, especially when spoken with Cang Tianjun's eyes in mind, they are even more powerful and reveal a powerful oppressive force.
Staring at Cang Tianlin, Cang Tianjun's face turned extremely cold. Is he already so presumptuous now?
At this moment, both Cangtian Lord and Cangtian Lin were filled with a powerful aura, like an invisible confrontation, making the atmosphere in the space much more depressing.
"That's enough." A majestic voice came out, breaking the oppressive atmosphere. King Cang said: "After three days, we will look at Xuexing's actions before making a conclusion."
"Yes." The two people below bowed and then excused themselves and left Taicang Palace.
…………
In the palace on the top floor of Zuixianju, two figures stood in it, it was Cangtian Qi and Qi Yuan.
"Young master, I heard that the king and the prince went to Confucius Mountain?" Qi Yuan looked at Cang Tianqi and asked. He had left some people in the palace as spies, so he got some news.
"I did go, but it seems that the negotiation was not settled." Cangtian Qi nodded, but this result was also within his expectation. Xiao Muyang is such a proud man. After experiencing such things twice in a row, how could he be with Cangtian Lord?
reconciliation?
"It's impossible to make friends in Confucius Mountain. If this happens, Xuexing will probably put pressure on him." Qi Yuan said with a solemn face, feeling a little worried in his heart. Once the war started, it would have a huge impact on Canglan.
"Yes." Cang Tianqi sighed, reaching out and rubbing his eyebrows. He could not change this matter.
The origin of this matter was that Lord Cangtian was too self-righteous and wanted to join forces with Xuexing to deal with Xiao Muyang, but ended up in the current situation. He directly offended two behemoths, Confucius Mountain and Xuexing, and was attacked from both sides.
"The battle with Xue Xing is inevitable, it depends on when it comes." Cang Tian Qi said again, Qi Yuan nodded slightly, with no fear in his eyes. If a battle really breaks out, Xue Xing will not be able to take it easy.
Three days passed by unknowingly. Nothing happened during these three days, which made King Cang feel more relaxed. It seemed that Xingruo was just saying harsh words and did not have the confidence to start a war.
However, on the night of the fourth day, an extremely sensational piece of news reached the palace.
King Snow Star personally led the army to the border, broke through the border defense line, and then dispersed his forces to attack several cities at the same time. In just one day, more than a dozen small cities had been captured by Snow Star, resulting in countless casualties and rivers of blood.
But Xuexing did not continue to attack, but instead made a sound to the outside world. As long as Canglan did not hand over Xiao Muyang for one day, Xuexing would continue to attack until Canglan was destroyed.
What arrogant words this is!
King Cang was furious after hearing the news. Xingruo actually started a war and said such cruel words, as if there was no one in Canglan.
Not long after, many princes and ministers rushed to the Taicang Palace. It was obvious that they had received the news from the border, and their faces looked quite ugly.
Cang Tianjun and Cang Tianlin were seen standing at the front, and Cang Tian Qi was also there. With such a big event happening, he naturally wanted to be involved.
"What else can the prince say now?" Cang Tianlin looked at Cang Tianjun and asked, with a strong sense of irony in his eyes.
At this time, Cang Tianjun's face looked quite ugly, and he naturally had nothing to say. As a result, just as Cang Tianlin said, Xuexing started fighting, and he was very forceful, as if venting his anger.
In fact, he had thought that Xue Xing would go to war, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. As soon as three days passed, troops were sent to suppress the border.
"Now is not the time to accuse. Do you think we should surrender or start a war?" King Cang looked at the crowd below and asked. Although he is a king and his words are the law of the world, every order he issues now concerns Cang Lan.
To survive, one must be more careful.
"Your Majesty, I think it's time to hand over someone." A minister stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "The snow star is coming fiercely, so we must have been prepared. If we go to war with it, the outcome is unpredictable. It would be okay if we win.
If it fails, the result will be..."
The man did not continue speaking, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.
If you lose, it will be the destruction of the country.
When King Cang heard what the man said, a sharp flash of light flashed in his eyes, but he did not get angry. He knew that the man was telling the truth. If he lost the battle, Canglan would indeed have only one way to be destroyed.
"What do you think of the prince?" King Cangjun looked at Lord Cangtian and asked.
"Hand over people." Lord Cangtian replied: "Judging from Xuexing's current actions, Xingruo's determination to hire people is extremely strong and unshakable, and Confucius Mountain has no intention of cooperating at all. This means that no matter what we do,
No matter what choice you make, you have to face a strong person in the Tiangang Realm."
"It makes sense." Many ministers nodded in agreement.
Cang Tianjun continued: "Although Master is also in Tiangang Realm, he is old and must not be as strong as Xing Ruo. In comparison, Confucius Mountain is easier to deal with."
There was not much emotion on King Cang's face, making it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking. He looked at Cang Tianlin again and asked: "What do you think?"
"I think it's time to start a war." Cang Tianlin said loudly. As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Cang Tianlin one after another, and some thoughts couldn't help but arise in their hearts.
The second prince leads the Canglong Legion, which does not have much effect in normal times. He can only show his talents during wars. Does he want to use this battle as an opportunity to establish his authority and then squeeze the prince out of the throne?
King Cang Jun glanced at Cang Tianlin and did not ask further.
"Is there anyone else taking charge of the battle?" King Cang looked at the crowd and asked.
The space was quiet, and everyone hoped to hand over Xiao Muyang to calm Xue Xing's anger. After all, once the war started, the risks would be unpredictable.
"I will fight." A hearty voice suddenly came out, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but froze when they heard this voice, wondering who could be so blind. However, when they saw the speaker, their expressions froze there.
I saw that man wearing white clothes, handsome in appearance, and exuding an extraordinary aura. He was none other than the Third Prince Cang Tianqi!
