Chen Hua didn't have the face to speak, he only took a glance at Lv Jian who was beside him. Lv Jian said slowly: "The selection for Holy King has been decided."
"Who is it?" Xiao Xuan anxiously asked.
"Young Master Ren Ren Xiao." After that, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Xuan and said: "King Chuan, the enthronement ceremony still has many things to prepare, I am busy with work and cannot delay any longer, farewell!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Xuan's opinion, he had already left with big strides.
"Elder Lu, you are ?" Looking at Lv Jian's leaving figure, Xiao Xuan still wanted to stop him, but Lv Jian had already walked far away without turning back. Xiao Xuan's face was filled with bewilderment, as he did not understand why Lv Jian's attitude toward him had become like this.
He then looked at Chen Hua and asked: "Elder Chen, what is going on? Why is the selection for the Holy King still decided on Ren Xiao, and why, does Clan Elder Lu seem to be dissatisfied with me? "
Chen Hua laughed bitterly, how could he explain himself? He muttered to himself for a moment, and said with a stern voice: "The Holy Maiden's status and position in Divine Pool is extremely high, and it has a huge impact on us. The Holy Maiden supports the Young Master Ren as the Holy King, and we, the elders, are powerless to help his, but I believe that it is precisely because of this that Elder Lu is so furious and upset, so that's why she is lacking etiquette in front of the King Chuan. Please do not take offense, King Chuan!"
"So that's how it is!" Xiao Xuan slowly nodded his head. He was really afraid of something coming to him. What he was most afraid of was Ren Xiao becoming a Divine Pool Holy King, and in the end, chose him instead.
Thinking up to here, he subconsciously looked towards Tang Yin who was standing not far away. The latter had a relaxed expression and smiled as he gave a assured posture.
His eyes rolled around, and could not help but ask: "Elder Chen, why is the Holy Maiden supporting the Young Master Ren so strongly? Could it be that there's some sort of relationship between the two of them? "
Hearing that, Chen Hua immediately shivered, he anxiously looked left and right, then anxiously said to Xiao Xuan: "King Chuan, you cannot speak carelessly about this matter, it affects the reputation of the Holy Maiden!" Even though he was an elder, he did not dare to say too much behind the Holy Maiden's back.
After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards Xiao Xuan and said: "King Chuan, since Holy King has been elected, the overall situation has already been decided, and there will be no changes at all. The New Holy King's enthronement ceremony does indeed have many trivial matters to handle.
When he had finished, he looked left and right again, then hurried away as if he had escaped the plague.
Xiao Xuan let out a long sigh in his heart, slowly closed his eyes, and stood in place for a long time without moving.
At the same time, Tang Yin had already found out the final result from the elders.
Ren Xiao had successfully ascended to the throne of the Holy King. In the future, his Divine Pool would no longer be the target of his apprehension.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
All along, the relationship between Feng Country and Divine Pool had always been very bad, so Tang Yin had always expressed his stance in front of all the ministers of the Feng Country, he had never been afraid of Divine Pool as long as Divine Pool was not enough, it had never been on his lips. In truth, that was just on the surface, that was all he had said.
Without the hidden danger of Divine Pool, he would be able to concentrate on fighting against Chuan Country in the future. The smile on Tang Yin's face unknowingly became wider. Seeing that Xiao Xuan was still standing there in a daze, he secretly laughed, and then slowly walked over.
"Elder Royal Brother Xiao, the selection for the Divine Pool Holy King s have been decided. No matter what happens, this is a joyous event. The Feng Country and Chuan Country and the two armies can finally withdraw their troops from the Divine Pool."
Looking at Tang Yin who looked calm on the surface but was actually ecstatic, Xiao Xuan could only secretly shake his head. This time, he was off by just one move, and was once again at Tang Yin's disadvantage! After all, Xiao Xuan was the dignified ruler of a great nation. His demeanor and mental fortitude were far beyond ordinary people.
He faintly smiled and nodded. "Brother Wang's words are very true. It looks like it is time for us two to return." His tone was calm, but when he spoke, his eyes shone with a profound light.
Although the light in his eyes faded, Tang Yin could see everything clearly. His heart moved as he asked, "When does Elder Royal Brother Xiao plan to leave?"
"Naturally, it was after the inauguration ceremony of the Divine Pool Holy King."
"Hm!" Elder Royal Brother Xiao and I thought the same thing. "
Tang Yin turned to the side and waved his hand again. After that, he chatted with Xiao Xuan as they walked: "Now that the matters of Divine Pool have been settled, and are no longer a threat to the Feng Country And Chuan Country, I wonder what Elder Royal Brother Xiao will do in the future?"
Understanding that Tang Yin was trying to test himself, Xiao Xuan smiled lightly and said: "These past few years, Chuan Country battles are unending, I have to work hard and pay for my wealth. After returning home alone, I plan to rest and recover my strength, and I don't want to go to war with another person in the near future."
If he said this with the intention to show weakness, it also meant that his Chuan Country did not want to engage in an explosive battle with the Feng Country. Tang Yin continued: "Isn't Feng Country the same as well! All these years of wars and the nation's power is empty, in the future, we will have to rely more on the Elder Royal Brother Xiao! "
"Ha ha!" Xiao Xuan laughed, and said: "Brother Wang's words are too polite. The Liu Family and the Feng Family are brothers, if there is anything they need, brother Wang, please do not hesitate to say it."
Tang Yin's eyes lit up, and laughed: "Since Elder Royal Brother Xiao has put it this way, I actually think of a matter that I need your help with."
"Oh?" Xiao Xuan secretly frowned, and asked: "What is Brother Wang seeking?"
Tang Yin feigned a sigh, and said: "The Feng Country has always been weak, and self-sufficiency is very difficult. The imperial palace is located in the interior of the Feng Country, and in order to support the imperial palace, the national Feng Country has to expend a large amount of human and financial resources every year. Moreover, previously, his Chuan Country And Zhen Country was in the name of the Qing Monarch. But now, there were no more adulterers around the Son of Heaven, and it was about time to invite the world to return to the capital. Elder Royal Brother Xiao, what do you think? "
Back then, when Chuan Country And Zhen Country attacked Shang Jing together, the Son of Heaven Yin Zhun fled in panic. After that, Shang Jing was always dominated by Chuan Country And Zhen Country, and after the destruction of Zhen Country, Shang Jing completely fell into the hands of Chuan Country, until now.
At this time, Tang Yin asked openly, directly asking for Shang Jing City from Xiao Xuan. After hearing what he said, Xiao Xuan immediately clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. He squinted at Tang Yin beside him and did not say anything for a long time.
Tang Yin smiled and said indifferently: "Elder Royal Brother Xiao, do not misunderstand. The Son of Heaven has returned to the capital, this is not my intention, but the will of the Son of Heaven, and is also the hope of the citizens of the world. If Elder Royal Brother Xiao is not willing, I am afraid he will anger the Son of Heaven and cause a dispute again! "
Hearing his words, it meant that if Chuan Country was unwilling to give up Shang Jing, it was very likely that Feng Country would raise their troops to attack. Xiao Xuan hated Shang Jing enough to make the roots of his teeth itch, but he couldn't show it on his face, if it really was because of the battle between the Chuan Country and the Feng Country, then it wouldn't be worth it. Moreover, with the support of Divine Pool, if a battle really happened, the Chuan Country might not necessarily be able to win.
He pondered for a while, then leisurely smiled and said, "This matter is something I can't make a decision for a while, so I still need to discuss it with the ministers. Don't worry, royal brother."
Tang Yin said: "Elder Royal Brother Xiao, of course I'm not anxious, but what I'm worried about is the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven has been wandering outside for many years and has long returned home with a mind like an arrow, Elder Royal Brother Xiao should also understand the Son of Heaven's feelings!"
Xiao Xuan thought for a while, then sternly replied: "Five days! Five days from now, Gu will give your brother Wang an answer. "
"Alright!" Tang Yin nodded his head and smiled: "Then I will wait for Elder Royal Brother Xiao's reply."
"Sure, sure!" The two of them walked down the Divine Pool Mountain side by side while talking and laughing. If someone who was unaware saw them, they would think that the two of them were really close, but the surrounding followers all knew that the battle between the Feng Country And Chuan Country would very soon come to the surface.
On that day, the usually quiet Ren Xiao's house suddenly became lively, the streets were filled with carts and horses, the streets were crowded with elders who came to congratulate them, and the small house was filled with people.
Although Ren Xiao was still not the Holy King of Divine Pool, it was only a matter of time. The elders all wanted to leave a good impression on Ren Xiao, and now was the right time to curry favor with him.
Ren Xiao liked peace and quiet, he hated this kind of false courtesy, but his identity was no longer the same as before, even if he had to bite the bullet, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, and continued to socialize with everyone who came to congratulate him.
This day could be said to be the most painful day Ren Xiao had ever had.
On the other side, Chuan Army Army Camp. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ren Xiao becoming a Holy King of Divine Pool was too disadvantageous for his Chuan Country. However, things had already become a foregone conclusion, and he couldn't change it even if he wanted to.
Seeing that Xiao Xuan was not eating at all in the tent, and was only pacing back and forth impatiently, and even coughing violently from time to time, the guards were all extremely worried, but did not dare go up to persuade him. They could only secretly report to Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, and Lv You.
Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, and Lv You were all Xiao Xuan's trusted aides. After hearing the report from the guard, the three of them hurriedly rushed to Xiao Xuan's tent. Sure enough, the food on the table was still untouched, except for two jugs of liquor.
The trio inwardly grinned. The King's body was already weak enough, how could she not eat and drink? Lv You walked forward and cupped her hands: "The King has not eaten for a whole day, I need to eat something!"
Xiao Xuan sighed: "How can I possibly continue eating now, the Holy King's candidate has already been decided, it's actually Ren Xiao, you guys are very clear about her relationship with the Feng King, if he were to become the Holy King, Divine Pool and Feng Country will all feel the same."
Lv You lowered his head without uttering a word, that's right, this was indeed the worst news that could happen to his own side, but what could they do? The rest were all jointly decided by the clan elders of Divine Pool, they couldn't possibly force all the clan elders to re-select the Holy King's candidate, right?
Zhang Situ suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, we cannot let Ren Xiao sit in the position of Holy King. The only thing we can do now is ?" As he spoke, his palm made a horizontal motion.
