"My dear sirs, Ancient Southern Kingdom sent a letter of credence a few days ago and has already sent an emissary to the capital. Everyone hopes to establish a mutual agreement with my country. My dear sirs, what do you think about this matter?" The elderly Emperor asked while standing in the imperial court.

The Eighth Prince was the first to step out. "Reporting to Imperial Father, the Southern Barbaric Kingdom's wolfmen have long since dispatched their heavy soldiers to the border a year ago. Now that they've sent out envoys to negotiate peace, there's something fishy going on, so we have to be on guard." The Eighth Prince was very clear about the military affairs, but Ancient Southern Kingdom's actions were very strange.

"King Hongli is right. The Ancient Southern Kingdom is full of ambition, there is peace on the surface and killing intent on the inside. I ask for Your Majesty to be cautious." The Prime Minister was the father-in-law of the eighth prince of Hongli Kingdom, hence, he was standing on the side of the eighth prince.

"Father, right now, I have the Gu Yan Empire to the north eyeing me covetously, and the south is the Ancient Southern Kingdom's wolf-like ambition. The two great empires are drooling over my shoulders, if both were to attack me at the same time, I would be too weak to stop them, and following what I said, I should accept the Ancient Southern Kingdom's visit, pay my respects to the envoys, form an alliance with the Ancient Southern Kingdom, and fight against the Gu Yan Empire together." The crown prince had already known about the visit of the envoy from the Ancient Southern Kingdom. In other words, he was the one controlling the visit of the Ancient Southern Kingdom, working with the crown prince of the Ancient Southern Kingdom to plan this operation.

"With my empire's power, it would be difficult for me to fight against two empires. What His Highness has said is reasonable. Please reconsider, Your Majesty." The civil officials who were supporting the crown prince said in unison.

"The Ancient Southern Kingdom is full of wild wolves. They will form an alliance with me for the time being. When I start a war with the Great Yan Empire and stab us in the back, wouldn't the Crown Prince understand?" The official words of the eighth prince's court were direct and straightforward. He would say whatever he wanted to say.

"Now that there are wolves and tigers, King Hongli thinks that I can fight against two empires? The two empires are strong, and it is the south against the north that is the best course of action. "

"I'm afraid he's just luring the wolf into the house!"

The Crown Prince and King Qinguang quarreled in front of the Emperor. Both of them insisted on their own opinions. The two princes who were favored by the Emperor expressed their opinions, but the other ministers did not dare interrupt.

The Ancient Southern Kingdom must have had a hidden motive for coming here, and it was very possible that he was trying to find out the Nine Continents's strength and background. However, the Ancient Southern Kingdom had many generals, a strong nation, and since the Nine Continents was in a critical period of time, it was impossible for them to refuse the request for an alliance.

The struggle between the two princes grew fiercer and fiercer. They were at odds in politics and opinion, but they fought until their faces and ears turned red. In the end, the emperor's voice broke the two people's nagging argument.

"The purpose of Ancient Southern Kingdom's visit this time is unknown, Eighth Brother was right, we have to be on guard, but the visit of the envoys from the Ancient Southern Kingdom is related to my life and the relationship between two nations, as the master, I should also have the attitude and actions of a master." The emperor weighed the pros and cons for a while before coming up with a more neutral idea. However, he didn't mention it because the officials all knew, including the two princes, that what the other party said wasn't necessarily true, but it wasn't entirely wrong either.

"Crown Prince, you are in charge of receiving the envoys from the Ancient Southern Kingdom. King Hongli is in charge of protecting the envoys in secret so that the envoys from the neighbouring countries won't encounter any mishaps."

Although his words sounded nice, saying that it was safe was actually asking the eighth prince to spy on the visiting envoys of Ancient Southern Kingdom, in order to avoid coming here to investigate the situation of the Nine Continents and their military intelligence.

"Yes sir!" The two princes had received what they wanted, and so they happily accepted the Emperor's mission.

After leaving the imperial court, all the officials had dispersed. The old Nine Continents Emperor sighed to the sky, "When is Liu Li's wedding?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, there is still half a month until the grand wedding between the princess and her consort."

The Emperor nodded his head, "The Ancient Southern Kingdom is quite ambitious. Whether or not they can be stopped will depend on our Prince Consort and the other martial arts experts in the martial arts world."

As the current ruler of the country, he had to plan for the worst. He knew clearly that the Ancient Southern Kingdom was gathering troops of a million at the border, and would definitely make a move, and the purpose of his visit this time was not simple either. It was just that he still had a tiny bit of hope that the Ancient Southern Kingdom would not invade so quickly, and give the Nine Continents some time.

Right now, what he needed to do was to stabilize the Ancient Southern Kingdom and make it afraid of the Nine Continents, so he didn't dare to invade for the time being and give Shen Kai and the army enough time to grow.

There was a general who was like a god of war in Ancient Southern Kingdom, Tong Goguga. Could the army Nine Continents brought by this man that resembled a war god block it? Could Shen Kai withstand it?

"Take the Glazed Glass Hall to meet Li Er." The Old Emperor was worried.

"The envoy of the Ancient Southern Kingdom has come to visit, and I, a mere official of the fourth rank who does not enter the imperial court, is also going to drink with him?" Shen Kai did not understand what the Eighth Prince meant when she received the invitation.

The Eighth Prince's follower who sent the invitation to Shen Kai said, "My Lord is the current wuxiaozhuan, and also the Prince Consort of Princess Liu Li, his position is esteemed. His Highness said that the reason for Ancient Southern Kingdom's visit is to probe our country's military situation, my Lord's martial arts are profound, and His Highness inviting us to attend is also to intimidate the Ancient Southern Kingdom's envoys and spread our might."

After Shen Kai heard this, he felt that it made a lot of sense. Although his realm wasn't Nine Continents's strongest, he was still young and had the best talent and the best potential, allowing him and Wang Zhengyu, the heaven's pride level individuals, to intimidate the Ancient Southern Kingdom's envoys, and let them see just how strong the Nine Continents's heaven's pride level people were.

Shen Kai knew that their generation was the future of the dynasty, the higher their talent, the more afraid the Ancient Southern Kingdom became, "I got it, go back and tell the eighth prince that I will definitely attend the feast tomorrow."

On the day of the banquet, Shen Kai was wearing the purple gold crown clothes of the wuxiaozhuan. He rarely wore this set of official clothes, but the clothes were very suitable for him.

When Gong Lier walked out of the carriage, he was shocked even though she had frequently seen Gong Lier's heavenly face. Gong Lier was wearing a light purple muslin dress, the purple muslin dress revealed her noble temperament perfectly, causing Shengxue's skin to not be covered by the muslin dress, making her look extremely eye-catching.

Shen Kai walked into Gong Lier, and when the latter saw Shen Kai, his glass-like eyes became even more joyous.

The purple gold crown on Shen Kai's body matched Princess Liu Li's purple dress extremely well. Furthermore, the two of them were handsome men and beautiful women, which were extremely rare to see, so the scene of them holding hands was just too beautiful. The officials who passed by stared at the two of them and were not willing to move away.
