Chapter 454: Angering the Thunder Pavilion?

to care so much about her, what was An thinking"I'm sorry, I was too forward." Mu Cang looked apologetic, feeling remorse in his heart. He had finally met her again after so long, how could he be so r...“Father, precisely because he’s been around the block a few times, he understands that fame and fortune can’t both be obtained. The people won’t fight with officials, even if among his acquaintances there are your political enemies, wanting to shake a prime minister's house is no easy feat. I hear that Young Master Wuyue is both talented and beautiful; he should know what’s up.”

Xiao Zhan, after hearing this, finally felt a little relieved: "Qi'er, then leave this matter to you."

"Yes!"

"Master, An Gonggong has arrived!" Zhao Si hurried in to report.

Xiao Zhan stroked his forehead: "It came so fast!" He sighed helplessly, turned his face gloomy and walked towards the front yard.

"Qi'er, you must help Fu'er this time. Your father is truly furious." Mrs. Xiao held onto Chu Tianqi's hand tightly, as if she were grasping at a lifeline for her daughter.

“Mother, please don’t worry, everything will be alright.” Chu Tianqi comforted Xiao Fuzi and subconsciously glanced towards the ancestral hall. The thin figure knelt there. If it were in the past, he would have been heartbroken, but at this moment, he was only slightly moved because of his mother’s words. Perhaps because he had been disappointed too much, he no longer felt heartache.

Nourishing Heart Hall.

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows he is wrong..." As soon as he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Zhan saw the emperor sitting there with a solemn expression. Even Prince Qian Sicheng, who stood below, frowned from time to time. Xiao Zhan's heart skipped a beat. Looking at this scene, no matter who was right or wrong, he still had to take the initiative to admit his mistake before speaking.

"My lord, what is the meaning of this" Both the Emperor and Qian Si Chen were stunned by his sudden act of admitting his mistake.

Upon being asked by the Emperor, Xiao Zhan hesitated for half a second, seemingly realizing: Could it be that the Emperor summoned him not because of Fu'er's trouble today But then he thought again, this matter was bound to come out anyway, so it might as well be said first, lest the Emperor get furious later.

"Your Majesty, my lady..."

Before he could finish his words, the Emperor immediately interrupted him: "My loyal subject, the marriage between Princess Guonan and the Prince will be put on hold for now. Right now, I have something very important that requires your assistance."

The Emperor still thought Xiao Zhan was concerned about Xiao Yufu and Qian Si Chen's marriage.

Not Fu'er's doing Xiao Zhan's heart, which had been constantly uneasy, finally settled. He immediately replied, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." He secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“My lords, I have just received a secret report that the Red Flame Country has been nearly devastated by the Thunder Pavilion. Now, a plea for help from the Red Flame Country will arrive soon, and they intend to form an alliance through marriage with our country. That is why I have summoned the crown prince and you all here today to discuss what we should do if the Red Flame Country's plea for help arrives. Should we help them or not” This is a difficult problem for the emperor. Helping the Red Flame Country would mean offending the Thunder Pavilion.

The Thunder Pavilion holds sway over the Three Kingdoms, its purpose is to restrain the power of the three nations and maintain this state of peace. But now the Thunder Pavilion has taken the initiative to attack the Crimson Flame Kingdom, which is very abnormal and makes people have to wonder if the Thunder Pavilion wants to unify the world!

Xiao Zhan frowned, pondered for a moment, as if he had an answer: "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that this matter needs to be carefully considered. After all, everyone knows the strength of the Thunder Pavilion. Once we provoke the Thunder Pavilion, with the Three Kingdoms Decree in effect, it will surely cost us dearly! The reason why Chiyan Country was punished so severely by the Thunder Pavilion is because recently, the new emperor Ha Qiqi was ambitious and wanted to incite war on the border. This led to the current situation. Our Lan Zhao has always advocated peaceful coexistence with all countries. If we wade into this muddy water, and anger the Thunder Pavilion, wouldn't it be a loss"

"Your words are reasonable," The emperor seemed to agree with Xiao Zhan's point of view. After all, at the beginning of the war, it was the common people who suffered the most. Now that they had finally achieved peace, no one wanted to go back to those days of suffering from war. For the people, the best king is the one who can give them a peaceful life.

The new emperor of Chiyan's ambition has long been known to the world. To ally with such a person is akin to seeking skin from a tiger. Chiyan has been biding its time these past few years, secretly nurturing its strength. Now it boasts a powerful army. Should the Thunder Pavilion ever lose its influence over him, he will inevitably march on Lan Zhao! By then, I fear there will be no peace in the world!" Xiao Zhan knew all too well the emperor's hidden thoughts. He wanted to use others' power to overthrow the Thunder Pavilion, but also feared incurring their wrath. Now he was caught in a difficult dilemma.

"Therefore, according to your words, if a secret letter arrives, how should I reply"

Xiao Zhan frowned and hesitated for a moment. The face etched with the marks of time became serious: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, since we know that Ha Qiqi has sent someone to deliver a secret letter, it's better for us to secretly send someone to steal the letter, leaving clues to suggest that it was done by the Lei Ting Pavilion. At that time, if we didn't receive the letter, we wouldn't be able to help at all. As for the marriage..." He deliberately glanced at Qian Si Chen.

Now they all probably know that it was Ge'er who proposed the marriage alliance, and none of them want Ge'er to go to Chi Yan Country to marry.

Qian Si Chen Ye also wholeheartedly agreed with Xiao Zhan’s words: “Your Majesty, this son also feels that the Prime Minister is right. As long as we intercept the person halfway, all the evidence will point to Lei Ting Ge, and Ha Zi Qi will definitely believe that it was Lei Ting Ge who did it on purpose. At that time, let them fight to the death.” Perhaps, the one who didn't want Ge Er to go into marriage the most was him.

"Very well! If that is the case, then I shall follow the Prince's and your ministers' suggestion."

Then Qian Si Chen continued, "Father, I actually have some ideas..."

The Emperor, after hearing this, exchanged a glance with Xiao Zhan and slightly furrowed his brow: "Chen'er, what other thoughts do you have" He mused to himself: This boy has always had his own opinions, I wonder what he's thinking.

"Father, my son thinks that this three kingdoms standing side by side situation is actually quite good. Why should we be subservient to a mere Thunder Hall Why does he, Thunder Hall, have the right to control our lives just because he feels like it If the three kingdoms join forces, they might not even lose. As long as Thunder Hall disappears, then in the future, everyone will fight for their own share of the world!" Qian Sichin was still young and energetic. He also felt that being constantly controlled by Thunder Hall was not a sustainable solution.

"No one can defeat the Thunder Pavilion! No! One should say that no country can defeat the Thunder Pavilion!" The prince spoke the words that had been weighing heavily on the emperor's heart for many years, but he still punched the dragon case in frustration.

At that time, the Six Nations were born simultaneously. The Thunder Pavilion was formed during that period. There were indeed rebellions from some nations, but without exception, they ended up destroyed. Only these three nations chose to submit to the Thunder Pavilion, and thus peace was achieved.

Let's examine the emperors of the Three Kingdoms. Which one wouldn't want to escape the control of the Thunder Pavilion But the Thunder Pavilion operates in secrecy, while they are out in the open. As long as these emperors make any moves, the Thunder Pavilion seems to have eyes everywhere, suppressing them relentlessly. They don't even know where the Thunder Pavilion is located. Who is this master who possesses supreme power, wielding the red Three Kingdoms Order like a god Everything is unknown, so they dare not act recklessly!hile Feng Yan'niang followed closely behind.Because Feng Yanniang also had many question marks in her heart, she was the one with the highest martial arts skill here.
