"Damn it!"
Sang Mo's face was extremely ugly. When had the Frostwest Empire ever been so humiliated, actually being controlled by a power that had not yet established its own country? This was an absolute disgrace.
But now is the most dangerous time for the empire, and he knows he must not act rashly and must first stabilize the Great Tang.
Even if we can't win them over, we should at least make sure they don't target the Great Tang. We can settle the score with them later once we've calmed down.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, then we'll wait for General Xue to take a bath!"
Once this risk period is over, I'm going to soak you in water for the rest of your life, and then we'll see if you'll ever take a bath again.
Sure enough, the bath lasted for three hours, until dawn the next day.
When Xue Rengui met him, Sang Mo already had panda eyes and a face full of resentment. Who the hell would take a bath all night?
This is absolutely outrageous, utterly outrageous!
Cough cough!
Xue Rengui wasn't a truly evil person after all, and seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, saying, "I'm so sorry, Your Excellency. I traveled day and night yesterday, and I fell asleep while taking a bath. I'm truly sorry!"
"It's alright!"
Hearing his words, Sang Mo Sang Mo nothing more than to stab him, but she wore a kind smile and said gently, "It's been hard on you, General. I'm sorry to have bothered you!"
Xue Rengui nodded slightly. This kid truly deserves to be called a professional envoy; his patience is absolutely top-notch.
He laughed and said, "It's alright. I believe in reciprocity. Since you think highly of me, Xue Rengui, and give me a gift, I naturally can't be ungrateful."
"Go ahead, whatever it is, you can talk about it!"
He saw the gift yesterday and was very satisfied. The other party brought several truckloads of goods with it. Even if he didn't care about the monk, he had to give them face.
Huh!
Sang Mo was overjoyed. She hadn't expected that the other party would change his temper so drastically in just one night.
Recalling the other party's earlier words, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. "Sending such a generous gift was indeed the right thing to do. No one can refuse a gift, not even Xue Rengui, who rules over a region."
He was somewhat relieved; thankfully he had brought so much stuff, otherwise his trip would have been in vain.
He organized his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "General, we have come here for the sake of friendship between our two sides. Faced with the rampant expansion of the Great Liang, all Western countries will be threatened."
To ensure our own safety, we hope to form Grand Western Alliance to jointly resist the evil Great Liang...
In an instant, he demonized the Great Liang, turning it into a monster that sought to devour the entire world, with the West about to become his prey.
Under these circumstances, the West must unite; that is the real issue.
"Joint?"
Xue Rengui nodded slightly, seemingly somewhat tempted, but his brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficulty.
This made Sang Mo a little flustered. You've already nodded, so why do you still look so troubled? Let's all work together!
As long as the West is united, no amount of Great Liang can withstand it.
He hurriedly said, "General, is there something troubling you? Why don't you tell me?"
Why!
Xue Rengui nodded and sighed, "Your Excellency is unaware of this, but I also wish to fight against the Great Liang alongside you, though I am simply unable to spare the resources!"
Too busy to be in two places at once?
Upon hearing these four words, Sang Mo was stunned.
What's the meaning?
Could it be that someone else is attacking the Great Tang? Is it the Great West Empire or the Black Skull Army? This shouldn't be the case.
They all have their own enemies to face right now, and they don't have time to deal with the Great Tang. Could it be that Xue Rengui was just talking nonsense?
He frowned and said, "What does the General mean by this? Is someone else attacking the Great Tang?"
"Good!"
Xue Rengui sighed, his face becoming more solemn, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency may not know this, but after I unified these small countries, I suddenly discovered a powerful army heading straight south."
The enemy was unstoppable; the once-powerful Black Skull Army was utterly annihilated.
The enemy is coming on strong and has already made contact with our border, so I have to be on guard!
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Mo changed drastically; he was stunned by this sudden news.
Amid this tense situation, the sudden emergence of a powerful and mysterious force, especially one heading south, is certainly not good news.
The opponent was able to sweep away the Black Skull Army; their combat power was by no means ordinary. This was yet another Great Tang.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "General Xue, what is the situation with the other side that makes you feel threatened? How many of them are there?"
"The enemy claims to be Great Han, and their combat strength is extremely formidable, with exceptionally sophisticated weaponry!"
"Their forces number at least two hundred thousand, and they currently control the area previously held by the Black Skull Army, while also occupying a seaport. If I'm not mistaken, they probably come from the Land of the Far West, just like us!"
Xue Rengui said with a solemn expression.
"Holy crap, another Great Han?"
Upon hearing Xue Rengui reveal his origins, and with the appearance of a new Great Han, Sang Mo's face turned green.
This news was so overwhelming that it gave him a complete headache.
Not only are their combat forces formidable, but they also come from the Land of the Far West, which is not good news.
The Land of the Far West is a colonial land, and its inhabitants are mostly bandits. The arrival of two bandit groups right next door is a nightmare for the Frostwest Empire!
He couldn't help but mutter, "This is a huge problem. The Great West Empire is already struggling against a single power from the Land of the Far West. Now, not only does Frostwest face two major powers from the Land of the Far West, but Great Liang is also watching us closely. This feels like we're in deep trouble!"
For the first time, he felt the fear of national annihilation. If all three parties attacked the Frostwest Empire, the Frostwest Empire would have no chance of survival.
Seeing Xue Rengui's worried expression, a thought struck him.
We need to win over one side now, otherwise the Frostwest Empire will be watched by three bandits. The Great Tang seems to have improved its attitude quite a bit, so perhaps there is an opportunity to form an alliance.
As for that Great Han, we'll send someone to make contact with him later. We absolutely cannot let him do whatever he wants!
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "General, we hope to form an alliance with you to jointly resist the enemy."
"Of course, our Great Tang also yearns for peace, after all, we also want to develop." Seeing his anxiety, Xue Rengui smiled and nodded.
Thank you!
Sang Mo was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to finally complete the mission. Now the only problem was what to do with that Great Han!
