Perhaps Nan Yiming still has some rationality now, but as time draws ever closer and death draws ever nearer, he will utterly despair and collapse.
At that point, Great Liang was his last straw.
If he wanted to live, he would have no choice but to submit to the control of the Great Liang, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Grunt!
Xu Chu swallowed hard, looking at Xu You with a horrified expression, and muttered, " Old Xu, I realize I underestimated you. You're usually so gloomy, but with this move, Nan Yiming is going to be completely ruined!"
His heart pounded. He felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of unease emanating from this handsome scholar.
No wonder the Emperor has targeted scholars time and time again. These guys are truly terrifying when it comes to scheming against others. They can plot against people with a wave of their hand and kill without shedding blood.
Fortunately, Xu You was one of his own, otherwise he would have wanted to eliminate this threat in advance.
"You flatter me, my brother!"
He simply smiled at Xu Chu's words without offering any further explanation.
He was quite confident in his abilities. Although he couldn't compare to Xun Yu, he was at least no weaker than Chen Qun and the others.
Unfortunately, the Great Liang was too powerful, and its strategist lineup was extremely luxurious, which limited his room for maneuver and led him to join the Court of Diplomatic Reception.
In the past, when Zhang Fei Zhang Fei in charge, he would take charge and do things decisively, while others only needed to follow behind and cover for him. There was no need to do much planning or scheming.
But now that he has become the Grand Master of Ceremonies, he must do something, otherwise he will have no way to explain himself to the Emperor.
Moreover, he refused to accept his fate. He shone brightly, leaving his mark on Great Liang as the emperor had said. This was what a man should do.
Nan Yiming was his first target!
"In short, I've got Nan Yiming wrapped around my little finger. Even his father, the king, can't protect him!"
At this moment, Xu You's eyes shone with an unprecedented light, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, as if he had entered a state of euphoria.
Holy crap!
Xu Chu felt a chill run down his spine. Xu You in this state was terrifying; it felt like he was about to kill someone.
He chuckled dryly, "Brother, we both share the surname Xu, so don't try to take advantage of an honest guy like me in the future, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
This is fucking terrifying, it's like the devil!
These clever people are terrifying. If I encounter an enemy who is too smart in the future, it's better to take them down in one fell swoop, otherwise I'll be played to death.
Ha ha!
Xu You chuckled, straightened his posture with an air of righteousness, and said solemnly, "We're partners, I need you to protect me, how could I possibly betray you?"
Honest people are so great; you feel safe having them behind you. They're your perfect partners.
"That makes sense!"
Xu Chu glanced at him and, seeing his sincere expression, breathed a sigh of relief.
That's true. The two of them are partners, and the Emperor is behind them. This guy wouldn't dare to betray them.
However, Nan Yiming is in a terrible situation; he's run right into the line of fire.
Unfortunately, his predecessor resigned, and his new brother just took over, and he needs to achieve results.
Xu You said coldly, "In the end, it's just that Nan Yiming isn't strong enough. He can only walk the path I've given him; it's his only way out. Otherwise, he'll only dig his own grave!"
Perhaps the former Prince Zhennan had some status, but now he is nothing more than a pawn. He has almost no bargaining chips left, so what can he use to resist his own schemes?
If he were sensible, there might be a glimmer of hope for him; otherwise, he would surely die with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
In short, we've got him cornered.
However, his work now involves more than just Nan Yiming; there are also people from other countries, so he needs to keep a close eye on them and prevent them from causing any trouble.
" Xu Chu, have all the kings of these countries arrived?"
Xu Chu nodded and said in a deep voice, "They've almost all arrived. I just brought the emperors of the Frostwest Empire and the Great West Empire over; they're resting now."
kindness!
Xu You slightly. He was in charge of receiving them this time, so he couldn't be impolite.
Although these people will be enemies sooner or later, they are guests now, and it would be inappropriate to treat them too poorly.
He laughed and said, "Yes, send someone to arrange their food, clothing, and lodging. Remember to give them all the delicacies and luxury goods of my Great Liang, so they can experience the hospitality of Great Liang."
This is a great opportunity to run an advertisement; let's squeeze them dry one last time before they go out of business.
Xu Chu nodded slightly. He wasn't very interested in this, but as long as it made money, that was fine.
He said in a deep voice, "They seem to be in a hurry to see the Emperor. I reckon they want to probe his intentions."
"Well, I'll consult His Majesty. He'll see them when he wants to. Let's arrange for them to stay first!" Xu You thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
He naturally knew why these people wanted to see the Emperor; after all, they were all uncertain and probably still guessing the Emperor's specific plans.
However, this is the territory of Great Liang, and they can't just see the emperor whenever they want; they need the emperor's approval first.
On the other hand, Bill III was also placed in the Court of Diplomatic Reception.
Upon arriving, he immediately summoned Ashley and Abucha. He needed to know the specific situation in Great Liang; otherwise, he would be restless and unable to eat or sleep.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Upon receiving the news, Ashley and his companion didn't dare to delay and rushed over immediately.
Bill III nodded and said in a deep voice, " Ashley, do you know why the Great Liang invited kings from various countries? Is there any danger involved?"
"This..."
Ashley frowned, equally bewildered, and said bitterly, "Your Majesty, there are currently no leads regarding this matter."
He knows nothing. He's tied down in Great Liang, controlled by the Net and the Hundred Riders, and can't do much at all.
waste!
Bill III's face darkened. This Ashley was so useless; he hadn't even sent a single word.
However, instead of reprimanding her directly, he asked, "Where's Anne? Didn't she send any information? Logically, she should have some information since she's inside the Great Liang Palace, right?"
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Ashley's face stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, men are not allowed to enter the Great Liang palace. Apart from seeing the princess once in public, we haven't had any other chances to see her."
puff!
Bill III nearly vomited blood. "So all this time I sent my daughter in for nothing! Now I can't even see her. Lin Yi is going too far!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "What does Lin Yi mean by this? He's not allowing men to go to the inner palace to meet Anne. Does he expect me to send another daughter there?"
That bastard, he's absolutely despicable!
