At a time when the situation between the north and the south is becoming increasingly tense, the situation is secretly becoming very strange.
The actions of the court and Prince Fu's palace made Prince Ping increasingly uneasy. It seems that both sides are frequently mobilizing their armies, one going south and the other north. The situation of war has taken shape. However, for some reason, there was something unusual going on in Ganzhou. According to their potential informant there, Ganzhou General Ling Yue was recruiting troops aggressively.
What's the purpose of this?
Could it be that King Fu still wants to swallow me, Xiangyang?
King Ping knew very well that the constant ambiguity between the north and the south might have made both sides hate him, but at this time, if he didn't do something, he might not have much chance.
What troubles him is that his military strength is obviously insufficient. If King Fu really wants to take action in Ganzhou, whether it can defend it is still a question. In this way, we can only hope that the two sides will start a war first, so that they will not take care of themselves, and they can take the opportunity to further grow and reap the benefits.
Perhaps, we should choose a side first?
He hesitated, an inexplicable sense of crisis welling up in his heart.
However, Prince Jing might not be able to accommodate him anymore. Du Cheng's matter was a trigger. King Fu, perhaps, can still talk, at least, it's okay to slow down for a while.
This was his mentality. When he really wanted to do something big, he realized that he didn't have much of an advantage. What he is most worried about is that if both the north and the south are eyeing his territory and attack from both sides, Xiangyang City will not be able to defend it no matter how impregnable it is.
"Reporting to the prince, someone claiming to be Taoist Xingyue has come to ask for an audience with the prince!"
While he was thinking about it, a guard reported such news.
"What? Taoist Master Xingyue!!"
Prince Ping couldn't help but be shocked. Grandma, these kind of people have never met each other, how come they came to the palace today. However, if you can use it for your own use, that would be a great thing!
"Come on, please, please!"
Wuming and Qingqing on the side couldn't help but tighten their hands when they heard Taoist Master Xingyue's visit, and showed some timidity unconsciously.
Wan Xiaoqing, on the other hand, felt somewhat ashamed. To him, Taoist Master Xingyue was simply a god-like existence. His martial arts skills shocked the past and present, but his strange behavior even more frightened him. As someone who had parted ways with Xingyue Dao, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
King Ping happened to see his expression and smiled slightly.
He had no way of knowing what the purpose of Taoist Xingyue's coming was. If a person like this is really going to harm him, there is no need to show his name to call for formation, so Prince Ping seemed very calm.
Not long after, Taoist Master Xingyue, dressed in black robes and still masked, walked into the meeting hall accompanied by Dong Er, the Black Wind Envoy, and Qiu Feng, the Lotus Envoy.
"Kowtow to the prince!"
Taoist Master Xingyue bowed to Prince Ping.
King Ping immediately stood up, smiled, and returned the salute.
"I have admired Taoist Master's name for a long time, and I am really lucky to meet you today!"
Taoist Master Xingyue shook his head.
"What's the point of being a lost dog and a man in trouble!"
As he said this, he glanced at Wan Xiaoqing with a slight smile. This made Wan Xiaoqing lower his head in fear and shame.
"Tao Master is too modest. I wonder if I can give you any advice when you come to my palace today?"
Prince Ping is still very polite. Such a man of great influence in the world cannot be neglected at all.
"Your Majesty, how dare you talk about giving advice? You really offend me by talking like this!"
Taoist Master Xingyue shook his head again.
Today is different from the past. Will the Taoist Xingyue of today still be the Taoist Xingyue of the past?
