Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone present turned pale!
No one expected that someone would suddenly say something like that!
In an instant, everyone's attention turned to this person.
Upon seeing its appearance, everyone fell silent once again.
This person is none other than the younger brother of the Dragon Kingdom's ruler, Prince Yong of the Dragon Kingdom, Xiao Wenyong!
Amidst the shock and silence of the crowd, Xiao Rujun turned to look at Xiao Wenyong, her brows furrowing.
"Does Your Highness mean that this matter is still my fault, Xiao Rujun's fault?"
Xiao Wenyong said calmly, "If the matter of the River God can be resolved, then everyone will be happy and no one will be at fault."
But if the River God becomes independent and the State of Jin is restored, the northern border will be plagued by constant warfare, and the crisis in the north will be difficult to resolve...
So, does this older brother really think you're innocent and without fault?
These words caused everyone to gasp in shock!
This is utterly humiliating and disgraceful to Xiao Rujun!
Looking at Xiao Wenyong, Xiao Rujun's eyes also flashed with an unusual light.
He was well aware of Xiao Wenyong's ambitions.
He knew that this person had always wanted to seize the Dragon Kingdom and establish himself as king!
But Xiao Rujun didn't pay much attention to it.
Xiao Wenyong?
Just a mediocre person!
It may seem like a meticulously planned scheme, but in reality, it's nothing at all!
He just didn't expect that this time, Xiao Wenyong would actually join forces with Wu Yong and sacrifice the land and dignity of the Dragon Kingdom to attack him, Xiao Rujun!
Once this matter is settled, even if Xiao Rujun remains the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom, his prestige throughout the country will never be what it used to be!
At that time, who in the world will still respect him?
Xiao Wenyong and Wu Yong could also use this opportunity to seize power in one fell swoop!
With his eyes narrowed, Xiao Rujun didn't speak, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes!
Looking at Xiao Rujun, Xiao Wenyong smiled slightly and said in a leisurely voice, "Brother, it seems that you are also helpless in this matter."
As your younger brother, I do have a way to resolve this crisis.
Brother, would you be interested in listening to this?
Xiao Rujun narrowed her eyes, and her voice turned cold. "Tell me."
Xiao Wenyong smiled slightly and said calmly, "As long as you personally go to the Northern Kingdom and kneel down to apologize to the King of the Northern Kingdom, the Northern Kingdom will naturally not help that River God!"
"At that time, with the military strength of my Dragon Kingdom, annihilating a Martial Grandmaster... is not impossible!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression instantly turned pale!
Should Xiao Rujun be made to kneel down and apologize to the King of the Northern Kingdom?
If we really do that, not only will Xiao Rujun lose face, but the entire Dragon Kingdom will also lose face!
Looking at Xiao Wenyong, Xiao Rujun's voice was as cold as ice.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"A joke? Brother, why would you think this is a joke?"
Xiao Wenyong smiled and crossed his legs, saying calmly, "Compared to the fact that this has caused the northern border of my Dragon Kingdom to be broken and my Dragon Kingdom to lose an important piece of land, what is your little sacrifice?"
"Are you trying to tell me, brother, that in your heart, your own reputation is more important than the practical interests of the Dragon Kingdom?"
At this moment, Xiao Rujun finally understood Xiao Wenyong's purpose!
Why isn't Xiao Rujun going?
If he can't come up with a better solution, that will become his reason for saying that Xiao Rujun is incompetent in governing the country!
But what if he really did that?
What right does someone who kneels down and kowtows to apologize to the Northern Kingdom have to continue being the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom?
Once the river god is destroyed, Xiao Rujun's reign as the ruler will come to an end!
Looking at the arrogant Xiao Wenyong, Xiao Rujun clenched her fists, and for the first time, a bead of sweat appeared on her forehead.
But just then...
"Report!"
A sudden shout rang out!
A fully armored imperial guard from the Dragon Kingdom rushed in and knelt directly in the center of the hall, his face full of excitement.
This made Xiao Wenyong frown and say with some dissatisfaction, "What kind of behavior is this, all in such a panic! Couldn't you have said something later?"
We're discussing matters of national importance right now, what kind of behavior is this? Get out!
No wonder Xiao Wenyong was so angry.
He was suppressing Xiao Rujun at the moment, but this person suddenly interrupted him, destroying the atmosphere and momentum he had just created. How could he not be angry?
Xiao Rujun smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic, tell me, what happened?"
The man looked at Xiao Rujun with excitement and said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Kingdom declares... declares itself an enemy of the River God for generations to come, a fight to the death!"
"What!"
These words shocked everyone present!
Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at the Imperial Guard, their eyes filled with disbelief!
Are you kidding me?
Is the Northern Kingdom suddenly going to become enemies with the River God?
And it's a fight to the death?
Wouldn't this directly bring endless benefits to the Dragon Kingdom?
After a long pause, Xiao Wenyong was the first to roar out in anger.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
I don't believe it!
How could the Northern Kingdom do such a thing? They have no reason to!
What is a river god?
"What the Northern Kingdom wants is definitely the land of my Dragon Kingdom!"
By the end, Xiao Wenyong was practically screaming.
All of this deeply affected him.
But Xiao Rujun smiled faintly and spoke slowly.
"Why is my royal brother so agitated? In any case, this matter is a good thing for our Dragon Kingdom."
Even if we have doubts, we should ask with the hope that it's true, rather than questioning it like this, shouldn't we?
Xiao Wenyong finally realized what was happening.
