Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Guze led Xu Yuehuai to the highest point of the entire Mingyue Kingdom's capital.
From atop a tall tower situated beside the city wall, one can gaze upon the entire starry sky.
The moonlight shines brightly, casting a peaceful glow over everything.
Bright lanterns were hung everywhere on the streets of the city.
The Flower Festival is very lively, with laughter and chatter everywhere you go.
"The people of the Mingyue Kingdom live a very happy and peaceful life. If war breaks out, not only the Great Zhou Kingdom, but the Mingyue Kingdom will also be greatly affected. For the people, this would be a catastrophe."
They originally had very little business, and if the war were to affect them, they would inevitably suffer significant losses.
All the things you've accumulated will gradually slip away from your hands.
Their current lives are already quite good. When the time comes, they can make up for the lack of supplies between the two countries by carrying out a barter activity between the Mingyue Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom.
This is a way to improve the lives of people in both countries without bloodshed.
Xu Yuehuai has been working hard to promote this activity, and he even wrote a letter to the King of Mingyue Kingdom before, but the King of Mingyue Kingdom keeps delaying it.
It's unclear whether someone said something unpleasant to the King of Mingyue Kingdom, which is why he suddenly changed his mind.
If the King of Mingyue Kingdom does not agree to engage in a barter exchange with the Great Zhou Kingdom, then a huge conflict may arise between the two countries.
War is inevitable in the future! It will be a bad thing for both of them!
Xu Yuehuai really wanted to change the mind of the King of Mingyue Kingdom as soon as possible and get him to agree to the barter arrangement.
In this way, the relationship between the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Mingyue Kingdom will be more stable, and the possibility of war breaking out in the future will be much less.
Furthermore, Xu Yuehuai and Qi Guze could leave Mingyue Kingdom sooner and return to Dazhou Kingdom more quickly.
But now this matter has been delayed, and Xu Yuehuai doesn't know how to change the mind of the King of Mingyue Kingdom.
“Yes, Yue, you are more clear-headed than some ordinary people and can see the current situation clearly.”
"Now that our Great Zhou Kingdom has taken the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with the Mingyue Kingdom, it will definitely cause other people hiding in the shadows to make moves, trying to disrupt our plans and prevent our two countries from cooperating. This is good for them."
"They are using the people of both countries as bargaining chips to scheme for their own interests here. It's truly a despicable act!"
"If I find those people, I will definitely teach them a lesson and make them taste all the suffering in the world! Then I'll see if they will still do such heinous things according to their previous ideas!"
A fierce glint flashed in Qi Guze's eyes as he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
If he were to actually find those who are secretly harming people, he would definitely take action, even if it meant using bloodshed, to eliminate them.
Seeing Qi Guze's domineering demeanor, Xu Yuehuai realized that he was not scary at all. Everything he did and what he showed was for the sake of the people of the world!
The people of this world should really thank Qi Guze. If it weren't for Qi Guze, perhaps many wars would have broken out in the past ten years, and the world might already be engulfed in flames of war.
It is because of Qi Guze that the world has been able to remain peaceful and carefree.
Qi Guze is a great contributor!
“Those people are definitely hiding very well now, and we have no way to find them out for the time being.”
"But our most important task now is to get the King of Mingyue Kingdom to agree to a barter system with our Great Zhou Kingdom."
"If the King of Mingyue Kingdom continues to delay this matter, we may be in danger if we stay here for too long."
"I was assassinated in prison some time ago, and you were also assassinated when you rushed back to the capital of the Mingyue Kingdom. Those people may be the same group of people who wanted to get rid of us as soon as possible."
"As long as we remain in the Dark Moon Kingdom, we will face increasing danger. We must complete the bartering as soon as possible, leave the Dark Moon Kingdom, and return to the Great Zhou Kingdom as quickly as possible."
Xu Yuehuai shared all her plans with Qi Guze, who fully agreed.
"Leave this matter to me. I will make sure that the King of Mingyue Kingdom agrees to the barter agreement as soon as possible."
"You should focus on the matter of bestowing titles upon Tianxiang Tower these days. We'll split up and get things done as quickly as possible, then head back to the Great Zhou Kingdom."
As Qi Guze spoke, he stroked Xu Yuehuai's hair and tidied it up for her.
The next moment, Qi Guze's ears twitched.
He heard faint noises coming from the side, as if someone hiding in the shadows was preparing to assassinate them.
"Who goes there? Stop hiding and come out now!"
Qi Guze waved his robe, shielding Xu Yuehuai behind him.
Immediately, Qi Guze's cold gaze swept over the source of the sound.
Then a figure appeared in that area, and many more people suddenly appeared next to that figure.
Qi Guze asked, "You've been following us all this way, what do you want?"
Why waste so much breath?
"Brothers, charge! Take them both down!"
The dozen or so people wore black masks, making it impossible to see their faces. They carried large machetes and then flew up to the top of the tower where Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai were located.
When Qi Guze saw these people charging towards him, he immediately drew the soft sword from his waist.
Without saying anything more, he immediately took action against these people.
These ten or so people originally thought that Qi Guze, who looked fair and clean, must not be very good at martial arts. However, they did not expect that Qi Guze's martial arts were better than all of them combined.
A short while later, Qi Guze knocked the dozen or so people to the ground.
Qi Guze's sword was aimed directly at their leader, held against the man's neck.
"Tell me, who's behind you?"
Xu Yuehuai watched from the sidelines, never expecting that these people's kung fu was so poor, that they were actually taken down by Qi Guze in one fell swoop!
Their master is probably not very capable, otherwise he wouldn't have misjudged Qi Guze's abilities.
"Please, young master, spare us! We were just following orders!"
"We didn't intend to do anything to you; we just wanted to invite you back to see our master!"
"Please hold your sword firmly, and have mercy!"
The man knelt on the ground, begging Qi Guze not to kill him.
