Chapter 910 -709: The Land of Lanzhou, King Lanning (Part 4)
Lin Xiaosu said, “Has the Prince ever thought that they may not have lax clan laws, but rather their clan laws might be extremely strict?”
“The Marquis actually defends them?” King Lanning’s face slightly darkened.
Lin Xiaosu faintly smiled, “The Prince misunderstands me. I believe the Qian du Sect does not have lax clan laws. On the contrary, their clan laws are exceedingly strict, but they set their goal as the invasion of all of Lanzhou, and all their actions are driven by this goal.”
“Invasion of all of Lanzhou?” King Lanning pondered, “Is the Marquis being somewhat alarmist? Lanzhou still has seventy million people, and as long as I am here, no matter who wishes to enslave seventy million fathers and mothers, I will not agree! Nor will the seventy million fathers and mothers agree!”
“I have checked the data. Ten years ago, Lanzhou had a population of 120 million, and in just ten short years, only seventy million are left!” Lin Xiaosu said, “May I ask the Prince, did you agree to this near half-population disappearance? Did the people of Lanzhou agree? Or, in other words, does the Qian du Sect need your agreement?”
These words were sharp beyond measure!
King Lanning’s face grew exceedingly dark, “What does the Marquis mean?”
“My meaning is quite simple! When faced with the life-and-death matter of Lanzhou’s survival, the slogan of agreeing or not agreeing is actually quite ironic.” Lin Xiaosu said, “I wonder if the Prince is willing to work with me to truly do something to completely stop this chaos of invasion?”
A most pointed question.
A definition of the slogan.
Lin Xiaosu faced the Prince without a single trace of politeness.
But the final point was a suggestion that no one could refuse: to really do something to stop this chaos.
King Lanning slowly raised his head, “What does the Marquis intend to do?”
“I want to invite the leader of the Qian du Sect to Ning City, to negotiate with the Prince and me a feasible plan to completely stop the expansion of the Mengyan Grass.”
King Lanning’s eyebrows slowly furrowed, “Did not the Marquis just reach a conclusion that this grass was artificially created by the Qian du Sect? Under such circumstances, would they cooperate with the Prince and the Marquis to halt the expansion of the Mengyan Grass?”
“Not cooperate?” Lin Xiaosu chuckled, “When I went to Jiangnan, I directly offered the sect the condition of withdrawing all private industries. Would they cooperate? In the end? Which one didn’t cooperate? In this world, there are so many lowlifes! If they don’t drink a toast, punish them with three cups, so what’s the harm?”
Saying this, he smiled.
However, in the Jingxian Pavilion, everyone was silent.
Because the person saying this had already showcased their commitment through a resounding journey to Jiangnan.
In Jiangnan, which of his targets did not touch these sects’ interests?
Which one were they willing to cooperate with?
However, those who did not cooperate, the sect would be wiped out, and those remaining, after weighing pros and cons, had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, it would be fulfilling his shocking saying: If you don’t want to be decent, I will help you be decent!
King Lanning slowly raised his gaze, seemingly looking through the distant Lan Ning Ancient City, toward the even more distant Tianji Lake. He slowly said, “Does the Marquis know who is behind the Qian du Sect?”
“The Wan du sect, nothing more!” Lin Xiaosu said.
“One of the Nine Gates, and to the Marquis, it’s just ‘nothing more’?”
Lin Xiaosu laughed, “The Prince may well know who is behind Hanyue Valley? Who is behind the Demon King Palace? When I unsheathed my sword against Hanyue Valley, did I ever consider Heavenly Capital? When I decimated the Demon King Palace, did I ever consider the Demon Sect? I’ve not even had reservations about the head of the ‘Three Sects’ – the Heavenly Capital; does the Prince think I should have concerns about one of the ‘Nine Gates’ – the Wan du sect?”
King Lanning slowly said, “The Marquis has a heroic spirit, which I deeply admire. Is this intention decided?” 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
“Decided!”
King Lanning slowly raised his gaze, looking at a steward next to him, “Steward, determine a location for the meeting!”
