Chapter 420: Some concerns about plum blossom disaster
At this moment, Mei Zai, who was on the shore of Zhongzhou, saw from afar the majestic carriage slowly approaching.
He was delighted and waved his hand to signal the National Defense Army around him to follow him and go forward together.
He just kicked hard the spiritual deer under his crotch, which was emitting spiritual light all over its body. With a burst of crisp hoof sounds, Mei Zai, Wu Hui and the team of national defense soldiers quickly came to the front of the chariot.
"Who dares to block our way? This is the Northern Frontier King's carriage, why don't you retreat immediately!"
The elder of the Xianlan Sect who was leading the way had his eyes wide open, drew his sword, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Mei Zai, and shouted loudly.
However, faced with such questioning, the plum blossom disaster seemed to have heard nothing and ignored it completely.
After all, he was only a county governor, and his status was only lower than that of the nine ministers in the imperial court.
People from second-rate sects like the Xianlan Sect are not even worthy of his attention, so why should he bother with them?
If the one who came here today was the leader of the Xianlan Sect, perhaps he would have just said a few words of greeting out of courtesy.
"I am Mei Zai, a subordinate, and I am here to pay my respects to Mr. Liu!" Mei Zai had a respectful look on his face and bowed repeatedly in the direction of the sedan chair.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the chariot: "There is no Mr. Liu here. If you want to find Liu Yuntian, then go to the northern border."
The person who spoke was Bai Ya, who was sitting upright in the chariot. Her tone was cold and resolute, leaving no room for maneuver.
"Uh..." Mei Zai's face, which originally had an expression of expectation and joy, suddenly froze there, as if it was frozen.
In recent days, Zhongzhou where they are located has been in dire straits, with all kinds of troubles coming one after another.
Forces from all directions continued to exert pressure on Zhongzhou like a tide, and fierce verbal disputes often broke out between them, even turning into small-scale melees from time to time.
Faced with such a tense situation, Zhongzhou has sent out distress signals to Northern Xinjiang many times, hoping to send more troops to support, or at least send a few powerful figures to sit in Zhongzhou and stabilize the situation.
However, the response from Northern Xinjiang was to ruthlessly reject Zhongzhou's request again and again on the grounds that Northern Xinjiang also needed someone to take charge.
Zhongzhou, which was once so majestic that many forces were intimidated by it, is now much weaker than before and its deterrent power has dropped sharply.
Since Zhongzhou had been slow to receive effective military support, people from other forces naturally gradually stopped fearing his plum disaster as much as they did in the past.
Every time a secret realm is opened, a fierce battle is bound to take place.
This time, the battle for the secret realm is particularly crucial, and the manpower and material resources required are extremely huge.
What is even more troublesome is that the Tiandihui, which has always liked to secretly pick up bargains behind the scenes, actually intervened at this critical juncture and got involved in this dispute.
This undoubtedly increased the pressure faced by the plum blossom disaster several times.
At this moment, when Mei Zai saw Liu Yuntian's iconic gorgeous sedan slowly approaching, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
He thought with great joy that perhaps this time he had finally found his savior, and maybe it was Mr. Liu who would come in person to support and encourage him.
However, when the carriage got closer and closer and finally stopped, the person inside was completely beyond Mei Zai's expectations - that person was not Liu Gong at all!
Although he was full of reluctance, he still tried his best to calm himself down.
You know, since the nobleman inside was able to sit on Liu Gong's exclusive carriage and even dared to call Liu Gong's name directly, there is no doubt that he is not someone a small character like him can provoke!
So he did not dare to be negligent or hesitate, and quickly waved his hand to direct the team behind him to move quickly to the sides of the road, bowed respectfully, and shouted: "Please go first..."
After the magnificent carriage went farther and farther away until it disappeared from sight, Wu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he gently waved the reins in his hand, driving the spirit deer under his crotch to slowly come to Mei Zai's side.
He lowered his voice carefully and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Before the secret realm opens...will we still fight?"
Mei Zai frowned tightly, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
He secretly clenched his fists, wondering in his heart whether he had offended Mr. Liu inadvertently.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not figure out where he had made the mistake.
Could it be that he had angered the other party because he had secretly embezzled some of the treasures?
But if you think about it carefully, he is not the only corrupt person? !
Which of those powerful people from the northern border has not sought personal gain from it to some extent?
If this is the reason for the current situation, then everyone should be punished together, and they should not be abandoned alone...
Thinking of this, Mei Zai felt upset and confused. His head felt like a tangled mess and he couldn't make sense of anything.
"Fight!" Mei Zai cursed angrily, "There are only a few tens of thousands of people left. If we destroy Zhongzhou, you're the one who's going to defend it?!"
"But sir, if we don't fight... the treasures we can get will be even less, and then those powerful people will take a little bit each, I'm afraid that in the end, what can be sent to the Northern Frontier... won't be much!"
"When Mr. Liu asks us...how should we deal with it?"
When Mei Zai heard this, he took a deep breath and then exhaled all at once, "I can't afford to offend the rich and powerful, and I can't afford to offend Mr. Liu even more!"
"At most, they are just students of the Prime Minister and the cabinet ministers. How can they compare to Mr. Liu?"
"Whoever dares to touch it this time, I will chop off his hand!"
Seeing Mei Zai's vicious look, Wu Hui was also shocked. He quickly stepped forward and gently patted the man's back to calm him down, "Master, calm down!"
"Although the military power is in the hands of Lord Liu, if you want to send troops to our Zhongzhou, you still need the Prime Minister's order."
"We must pay them a lot of respect! After all, they live and die with us. If they are really in danger, won't they ask the Prime Minister for help?"
"In my opinion, we still have to fight!"
At this point, Mei Zai's face showed a bit of heartache, but Wu Hui's next words moved him.
"Sir, how about we contact Master Liu Yi secretly and let his scattered forces lend us a helping hand?"
"We all serve under Lord Liu, so it's only natural for us to support each other!"
