I Can’t Be Sword God



493 Two or three matters in the Bailang Kingdom

These days, the Bai Lang Kingdom could really be said to be in a turbulent state.

Everything had started from the marriage of the princess of the Heluo dynasty. The White Wolf King, who had been preparing to marry the princess, died a tragic death for various reasons. It was not until the former Prime Minister, Shi long, became the new master of the Bailang Kingdom and did not intend to marry the princess that the dangerous atmosphere was put to a stop.

The deaths of the previous White Wolf Kings were not worth mentioning. In short, when the war finally subsided, the domestic situation was still turbulent.

Although the new king, Shi long, was in the capital and had the support of most of the officials and citizens, the Alliance Army that he had brought in was entrenched in the country’s borders, ready to cause another wave at any time. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that they wanted to take advantage of the chaos within the White jade country to gain as much benefits as possible.

There were also a few generals who raised the flag in the country. They were not convinced by Shi Long’s rule and were ready to support the orthodoxy of the White gem country that they had recognized.

The war would start again at any time, and the people in the country were in a state of panic. A large number of people fled every day.

At this moment of internal and external struggle, three powerful Zen masters appeared.

They were the three disciples of the Bao generation under Aurora Bodhisattva of the Western Region. Now that they had bid farewell to their sect and entered the world to gain experience, they were known as the Three Treasures National Master in the country of Bailang.

Among them, the nation Master, Bao ‘an, had boundless powers. He was the disciple whom the Aurora Bodhisattva had once evaluated to have the potential to surpass himself.

The two Imperial preceptors were talented in debating and had deep wisdom. Not only did they have high cultivation, but they were also capable people who ruled the country.

The three Imperial preceptors, Bao hornless Dragon, was a Dragon of noble birth. He was willing to cultivate and serve Aurora Bodhisattva. Now that he had cultivated the true path, he entered the human realm and wreaked havoc.

As soon as the three of them entered the Bailang Kingdom, it was as if a divine needle had fallen from the turbulent sea.

With their glib tongue and, of course, the reputation of the Aurora Bodhisattva, the three Zen masters did not even need to sacrifice a single soldier to persuade the armies of the four countries to retreat. The Bailang Kingdom did not even lose an inch of land.

Then, the three of them took action and beheaded all the independent generals in one night, leaving only general Shi Nan.

The next day, the heads of all the generals were hung on the walls of the capital city by the Stone Dragon.

It must be known that those generals who could dominate a region in the white stone Kingdom did not lack experts under their command. Yet, the three Zen masters were able to do this almost effortlessly, which showed their terrifying strength.

Seeing this, general Shi Nan did not continue the stalemate and led his troops to the capital city to fight the final battle with the Stone Dragon.

Of course, the content of the duel was not to fight with swords, but to fight with magic.

In the Western Region, Buddhism had always been the most respected. Many countries in the Western Region regarded Buddhism as their national religion, which was why Aurora Bodhisattva was so highly respected. There were very few countries like the Jinque country that regarded Taoism as their national religion. Most of them were countries near Heluo.

When the White jade nation first rose to power, it was a country of uncultured origins and was too murderous, so it was not recognized by the Buddhist sects around the world. That was why it chose Taoism as its national religion. The former state preceptor was on good terms with general Shi Nan and supported him this time.

This battle had happened between the previous state preceptor and the three Zen masters.

The three Zen masters didn’t bully the few with their numbers, but went up one by one and fought three rounds with the previous state preceptor. Under the watchful eyes of the public, the former state preceptor had lost all three rounds.

Shi Nan had also acknowledged Shi long as the new king, as per the agreement.

In addition, the orthodoxy would be converted from Taoism to Buddhism, and the original disciples of the orthodoxy would have to work as coolies to build a star bead tower for the new king to worship a national treasure that the three Imperial advisors had given to the new king.

From then on, the master and disciple saw the scene when they entered the city gate.

The Daoist priest was enslaved by the monk.

……

After listening to the general’s story, the group of people arrived in front of the palace of the Bailang Kingdom.

Dulanke sighed,”the war between Buddhism and Taoism is not as serious as it seems.”

Yu Qi ‘an shook his head and said,”it looks like a fight between Buddhism and Daoism, but it’s actually just a fight for power.” If the three Zen masters who had entered the world to cultivate wanted to establish their own authority in the white stone nation, they would naturally have to overturn the old National religion. I’m more concerned about Yingluo.”

He looked at the general and asked, ” general, may I ask if this Pagoda is called the star bead Pagoda? is the National treasure enshrined in it the legendary star bead? ”

Wang longqi laughed. how refreshing. How can there not be star beads in the star bead tower? ”

Yu Qi ‘an didn’t look at him, but asked, ” “Does the wife cake always have a wife?”

“……”

After a moment of silence, the general replied, ” Although there’s no wife in the wife pie, there are star beads in the star bead tower.

it seems like it was the right decision to come to the Bailang Kingdom, ” the old Taoist said as he touched his chin.

When they arrived at the palace, the general gave a brief report and handed the group of people over to the palace servants to lead them back to guard the city gate.

The palace servant leading the way didn’t say much, only saying, ” the king is busy with official Affairs and has no time to meet the envoys. Now, this servant will bring you to meet the first Prince of our country.

“The first Prince is also an excellent person.” Yu Qi ‘an said with a smile.

Anyway, no one was sincerely going on a diplomatic mission, so naturally, he did not care who he was meeting.

After a short while, they passed through the long corridors of the palace and arrived at a large hall.

In front of the hall sat a handsome young man in a luxurious dress. He was dressed in the aristocratic clothes unique to the Bailang Kingdom. He was waiting for the crowd alone.

Previously, the palace servant had already introduced him. This was the eldest son of the new king, Shi long, and his name was Shi Jie. In other words, he was the newly-appointed first Prince of the White gem Kingdom.

When he arrived, he stood up enthusiastically, probably wanting to say something to welcome them, but he was a little stunned when he saw the appearance of the diplomatic mission.

Three generations of Taoist priests, a wretched man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a little girl who seemed to have a low IQ.

This group was more like they had brought their families to sit at the table. If they wanted to say emissary, it was difficult to judge which one was the leading emissary.

In the end, it was old du who spoke first. He saluted and said in a nondescript manner, the envoy from the Jinque Kingdom pays his respects to the Prince of the Bailang Kingdom.

Fortunately, Shi Jie was also a Prince who had forced a duck to the perch and did not know any National etiquette. He was originally afraid that he would embarrass himself. Seeing that the other party was so casual, it was exactly what he wanted.

He also waved his hand and said, ” hahaha, my name is Shi Jie. The day before yesterday, the Grand advisor took me in as an in-name disciple of the Aurora Bodhisattva and gave me the name ‘gem Jie’.

Li Chu couldn’t help but take another look at him. He felt that this person had an even more noble aura.

After the two parties had introduced themselves, they presented their credentials.

Empress Ming Yan’s letter of credence clearly stated that the purpose of sending out a diplomatic group was to inform the various countries of the Western regions that she was about to ascend the throne and become the Queen from the Empress.

However, Yu Qi ‘an suddenly had an idea and said,”The purpose of this diplomatic mission is to announce the Ascension of the Queen. In fact, the Queen sent us to the Bailang Kingdom to attend the opening ceremony of the star bead tower.”

Shi Jie laughed. that’s great. The star bead tower will be completed in less than seven days. You can all have some fun in my country.

Then, he suddenly looked at Wang longqi and said with a smile, ” “If I am not wrong, this envoy is also a senior scholar.”

hahaha! Wang longqi immediately nodded, ” I also saw it when I entered the room. Is His Highness also a coward? ”

The two of them looked at each other and revealed a smile of appreciation between scholars.

“I’ll entertain you in du city when I’m free these few days. Let’s have some tea together.”

In the end, Shi Jie left behind a promise between men and sent the palace servants to escort the diplomatic mission out of the palace and to the inn.

After taking a seat in the inn, Wang longqi praised, ” “This first Prince is an interesting person. I have high hopes for him.”

“That’s right, our first Prince is a bold and forthright person. In his early years, he has been praised in the capital.” “The day before yesterday, His Majesty was saying in court that he wanted the first Prince to marry the princess of Heluo as soon as possible, and then establish the crown prince’s position,” the palace servant said. The citizens of the white stone Kingdom all think that the first Prince will definitely be a good king.”

With that, the palace servant gave some more instructions and set out to return to the palace.

After he closed the door, he saw Wang longqi’s face suddenly become expressionless.

“What’s wrong?” Elder du asked.

Wang longqi said with a murderous tone, ” “This first Prince’s Huanhuan doesn’t look like a good person. I can’t wait for him to die.”
