What happened in the Council of Princes and Nobles obviously could not be kept from Wu Wei.
"Minister, Yanshan Gong..."
Chen Qian blocked out the sounds from inside and outside, frowned, and spoke of Han Chi's strange attitude.
"It's alright. He just knows that he can't do anything to you with this matter alone. After all, it was the Marquis of Zhengxi who had a loose tongue." Wu Wei waved his hand, not taking it to heart.
Shen Qian always felt that things were not so simple. After obtaining the "omniscient" literary title, his insight far exceeded other people's imagination. He intuitively felt that Duke Yanshan must be planning something, which was why he did not want to cause any trouble.
However, there is too little prior information, and it is impossible to deduce more from the initial information.
"Please take your seats, it's almost time."
Wu Wei gave Shen Qian another instruction, then walked straight to the host's seat in the center.
As the Minister of Chinese Martial Arts, Wu Wei has always presided over the Council of Kings and Nobles, a fact that Gu Donglai had previously told Shen Qian.
Seeing that Wu Wei's focus was clearly not on Yanshan Gong, Shen Qian had no choice but to give up.
"I heard that the Wu tribe has left the sea and their whereabouts are currently unknown, which is why the minister is worried."
At this moment, Luo Shenbo walked to Chen Qian's side and whispered something.
Shen Qian suddenly realized why Wu Wei seemed a little absent-minded.
"Thank you for informing me, Lord Luoshen," Shen Qian said politely.
"You haven't chosen a seat yet, have you?" Luo Shenbo smiled. "There's an empty seat next to me, if you don't mind..."
"Uncle Luo Shen is too kind. How could I possibly look down on you? I'll sit next to you then." Shen Qian immediately nodded and smiled. Back at Luo Shen Manor, Uncle Luo Shen had indirectly helped him, so Shen Qian did not diminish his respect despite his current change in strength.
Upon closer examination, Shen Qian's attitude seemed no different from before, which directly led to Luo Shenbo's gaze towards Shen Qian remaining very complicated even after the two sat down.
When Shen Qian beheaded Zhao Yuanhou, she was watching from high above. The shock she felt was completely different from that of other kings and nobles.
After all, she had dealt with Shen Qian when he was weak, and had witnessed him step by step how he got to where he is today. But even so, Luo Shenbo still couldn't understand it.
How could Shen Qian have become so powerful in just one or two years that he could easily threaten her?
“I remember back then, I was thinking of marrying my niece to you. Now it seems that I am really marrying above my station.”
"Lord Luo sighed."
"You mean Qu Xiangyun?" Shen Qian nodded with a smile. "I still remember her. How is she now?"
"After the war broke out, she also suspended her studies and went to the Shanghai war zone. She just broke through the mountain and sea barrier last month..."
Luo Shenbo gave a brief introduction, and she unconsciously spoke with a hint of pride, after all, Qu Xiangyun was only twenty years old, and breaking through the Mountain and Sea Realm at such an age was absolutely extraordinary. However, she then realized what realm the person sitting next to her had already reached, so as she spoke, she unconsciously turned into a wry smile.
"The Shanghai war zone? She's incredibly brave... Breaking through the mountains and seas is only natural."
Shen Qian's eyes narrowed, and he nodded slightly.
With all coastal cities now retreating inland, the Shanghai war zone is the last coastal stronghold of the human race. There are at least twenty active "gates" nearby, and in previous battle reports, the casualty rate in the Shanghai war zone has remained consistently high.
As Shen Qian and Luo Shenbo chatted casually, more and more kings and nobles arrived, including many white and black people whose clothing and appearance were very different from those of China. This was the first time Shen Qian had seen kings and nobles from outside China.
“The kings and nobles abroad are different from those in China. In their own countries, they are truly like a religion. For example, in Africa, they call their kings and nobles ‘Pharaohs,’ while in Europe, they are various gods… all of which perfectly match the myths and legends of their respective countries.”
Luo Shenbo also smiled and explained the differences between the kings and nobles of various countries to Shen Qian.
"So what is their overall strength?" Shen Qianqi asked.
"To be fair, it's not that great... Although China only accounts for one-third of the total number of kings and nobles in the world, more than half of the top combat power is in China. The number of Great Luo Golden Immortals from other countries combined is only a handful."
Luo Shenbo shook his head.
Shen Qian nodded, satisfied his curiosity, and then withdrew his gaze, secretly observing the situation on Yanshan Gong's side again.
"I thought Marquis Xuanming wouldn't collude with Duke Yanshan and the others, but I never expected..."
Noticing Shen Qian's gaze, Luo Shenbo glanced at the area where the kings and nobles of the Divine Emperor Palace were located and sighed.
Upon hearing the other party mention Marquis Xuanming, Shen Qian felt a pang of regret.
This guardian of the Wuding Bridge, the only direct disciple of the legendary Taiyi King, had always been very fond of him before the sinking, after all, when they were at the Wuding Bridge, Xuanming Marquis had essentially condoned his relationship with Liu Changqing.
However, it was unexpected that as the situation gradually became clearer, the other party no longer concealed their true intentions and openly sat down with Duke Yanshan and others.
In fact, Shen Qian had a premonition, after all, his comrade-in-arms Sha Bi was his personal disciple. But even though Shen Qian formed the "Old Days" squad in the Southwest Theater, Sha Bi did not show up.
Sha Bi had been saved by Shen Qian, so the estrangement between Sha Bi and Shen Qian must have been influenced by Xuanming Hou, which to some extent explained the other party's attitude.
"Besides the Duke of Yanshan, the Earl of Aurora, Qin Zhaohou's younger brother Qin Zun, the Earl of Minnan, and the possible Marquis of Xuanming, are there any other members of the Divine Emperor Palace who are publicly known?"
He glanced at it briefly, then asked Luo Shenbo in a low voice.
"As you can see, the second from the left behind Han Chi, the Marquis of Yongjin, the seventh from the left, and the Duke of Tianqing in front of him are all relatively certain members of the Divine Emperor Palace."
