Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

Lin Bai and Chu Jiangliu were sitting in a small pavilion, drinking and chatting.

But during the chat, Lin Bai always looked at Chu Jiangliu, frowning, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Chu Jiangliu, now you are the invincible God of War in the 180th Domain in the southern corner of Dongzhou!" "

"You are the first-class prince second only to Emperor Xiao in the Shenwu Kingdom. How can anything make you so gloomy?"

Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"Master Sword, please stop teasing me. The invincible God of War in the 180 South Point Region and the first-class prince of the Shenwu Kingdom are just false names."

"Prince Sword, you should know that what I am seeking is not these false claims!"

"Since the founding of the Shenwu Kingdom, all generations of the Chu family have been serving the Bai family and being loyal to the Shenwu Kingdom. The reason why I led the army to attack the 180th Domain was entirely because of His Majesty the Xiao Emperor's will!"

Chu Jiangliu said calmly.

Lin Bai asked curiously: "Then why are you still frowning? Is it because the task given to you by Emperor Xiao is too tight? Can't you be relieved?"

Chu Jiangliu said: "Prince Sword, you have just returned to the Shenwu Kingdom. There are some things you don't understand. In my eyes, the Shenwu Kingdom today is full of internal and external troubles... In other words, it will be destroyed if you are not careful!"

Lin Bai's face became solemn: "Tell me carefully! What are internal worries and what are external worries?"

Chu Jiangliu said lightly: "Prince Sword, a month ago, our Shenwu Kingdom captured the Xuantian Territory of the 180th Territory in the South Point. As the strongest territory in the 180th Territory in the South Point, the Xuantian Territory was destroyed. Emperor Xiao then ordered to recruit troops from the 180 areas in the south corner!"

"Now all the 180 regions in the southern corner are willing to surrender!"

"However, problems have arisen."

Chu Jiangliu said.

Lin Bai listened carefully.

Chu Jiangliu said: "First, in such a huge territory as the 180th Domain in the South Corner, there are countless warriors. Some people are willing to submit, but some are not willing to submit, then rebels will appear!"

"Among them, the more powerful rebel army is..."

Lin Bai continued: "South Point Divine Kingdom!"

Chu Jiangliu said: "Yes, Lord Sword seems to have got some news. The South Point Divine Kingdom is the strongest force among these rebels. In addition, there are other weak forces waiting for opportunities. Everyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits!"

"This is the first hidden danger!"

"The second hidden danger is, how to manage such a powerful territory?"

"Now they have temporarily surrendered, but maybe they will rebel in the future!"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "How to manage it is indeed a big problem!"

"This is an external trouble, what about internal trouble?"

Lin Bai asked.

Chu Jiangliu said: "The internal worries are in the court of Shenwu Kingdom!"

"Prince Sword, you don't know something. Today, the court of Shenwu Kingdom is divided into two factions!"

"One faction is a general led by me!"

"One faction is the civil servants headed by the national master Shang Lang!"

"Maybe it's because Emperor Xiao thinks too highly of me, so the Imperial Master likes to go against me no matter how big or small it is!"

"Some time ago, I led the army to Feilong Domain. Emperor Xiao arranged for Shang Lang to be the rear army and supervise the formation for us. However, later, our Chu family army encountered an ambush by warriors in Feilong Domain and was almost wiped out. But at that time, I Let Shang Lang lead his army to help me..."

"But we couldn't wait for reinforcements for a long time. In the end, His Majesty Emperor Xiao arranged for the warriors from the Iron-Blooded Sword God Camp to come and the crisis was resolved!"

"Later, I returned to the court and confronted Shang Lang, but Shang Lang claimed that he had not received my request for help..."

"But in the end, Emperor Xiao also punished Shang Lang severely, and this prevented the trouble!"

Chu Jiangliu explained slowly.

Lin Bai frowned and said, "National Master Shang Lang?"

Chu Jiangliu said: "Prince Sword, not only that, in the past few days, the sects and families from the 180th Domain in the South Corner have all sent envoys to the Lingnan Imperial City to discuss matters after the surrender!"

"The main thing is to discuss the resources that these territories will pay tribute to the Shenwu Kingdom every year after the surrender of the 180 territories in the southern corner!"

"Because although we have regained the 180 South Point Territory now, our foundation is unstable. I advocate that peace is the most important and we should treat the 180 South Point Territory with a gentle policy. In the future, we will completely control the 180 South Point Territory. After that, change the strategy!”

Chu Jiangliu said.

Lin Bai nodded and said: "You are right to do this. If your request to the 180th Territory of the South Point is too excessive, I am afraid it will be counterproductive and force them to rebel!"

Chu Jiangliu said: "Yes, but the national master Shang Lang advocates that the 180 regions must be severely suppressed and let them submit to the power of the Shenwu Kingdom, so that they will not have any rebellious intentions!"

"Because of this matter, I and Shang Lang have been quarreling in the court these days!"

Chu Jiangliu took a sip of wine and said angrily.

Lin Bai said lightly: "Then what does Emperor Xiao mean?"

Chu Jiangliu said: "Emperor Xiao has not made a decision, only two words, let's discuss it again!"

"Prince Sword, what do you mean by Emperor Xiao? Who does he agree more with my and Shang Lang's proposal?"

Lin Bai chuckled and said: "Emperor Xiao..., Chu Jiangliu, I may be the person who knows her best in the world!"

"Do you know why Emperor Xiao didn't adopt the opinions of the two of you?"

Chu Jiangliu shook his head in confusion!

Lin Bai asked again: "Emperor Xiao knows that Shang Lang and you are not dealing with each other, so do you know why Emperor Xiao still lets Shang Lang stay in the court?"

Chu Jiangliu shook his head again.

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Because Shang Lang understands Emperor Xiao's thoughts best!"

Chu Jiangliu asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Take the attitude towards the 180 territories of Nanjiao as an example. Emperor Xiao wanted to follow Shang Lang's words and treat them harshly, so that in the face of absolute strength, the territory of Nanjiao would not dare to rebel!"

"But she also knows that now is not the time to be strict, and should adopt your gentle policy!"

"That's why she didn't make a decision!"

"But don't worry, you don't have to argue with Shang Lang in the court these days. After a few days, Emperor Xiao will figure it out, and she will naturally know that you are right!"

Lin Bai said lightly.

Chu Jiangliu nodded and said: "Prince Jian, you are right. I used to argue with Shang Lang in the court. Although Emperor Xiao seemed to favor Shang Lang every time, she would choose my opinion in the end!"

Lin Bai chuckled and said, "So, this Shang Lang is a smart man!"

"Chu Jiangliu, do you think Shang Lang doesn't know that we should adopt a gentle policy towards the 180 areas in the south corner now?"

"Shang Lang clearly knows that you are right, but why does he insist on adopting harsh policies?"

"Isn't he just trying to please Emperor Xiao?"

Lin Bai took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

Chu Jiangliu said with a smile: "Prince Sword, after hearing what you said, I understand a lot!"

"Come, Lord Sword, have a drink!"

Chu Jiangliu raised his wine glass again and clinked it with Lin Bai!
