Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle
Chapter 643 Forcing a cow to drink water, who dares to say no?
Chapter 643 Forcing a cow to drink water, who dares to say no?
Pan Li was sent to a rear camp and placed under house arrest, looking utterly dejected.
His 'plea' was not heeded.
Ujuhribo's mind could not be changed by a few words.
Moreover, he was an invading foreigner who forced his way in by force.
Why bother with all this talk of etiquette and morality? He doesn't care at all, not to mention that the Cangyue Royal Court doesn't buy into the Lan Dynasty's ways.
As for Chu Danqing, he completed his mission after Pan Li was placed under house arrest.
[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 10000, Attribute Points +4]
Let's talk about whether Pan Li is safe or not after the discussion is completed.
At first glance, he didn't seem to have done anything, but things can't be judged that way.
If he hadn't come along, I really don't think Pan Li could have gotten away with it so easily.
At level 2, A-level difficulty tasks were already a piece of cake for Chu Danqing.
Even though the difficulty of the mission increases with rank, the snowballing effect of a top apostle like Chu Danqing is no less significant than the increase in mission difficulty.
“Hero, I wonder what promise my son made that made you willing to risk your life to escort him.” Ujuhribo turned to look at Chu Danqing, trying to win him over.
"It's a favor," Chu Danqing said, then added, "It's not his."
The apostles, however, felt it should be a mission.
"Oh? How about..." Ujuhribo began to recruit.
But Chu Danqing interrupted him first: "Wolf Lord, I have no intention of following you."
"However, I have something to tell you," Chu Danqing said. "You're probably planning to launch an attack when you hand over the gold and silver, aren't you?"
"As long as you do not harm the people after you enter Yundu, I will not interfere."
As for wealthy and powerful families, noble clans, and royal relatives, Chu Danqing had no way to help them.
He used to stop it, but now his choice is to protect the people.
To put it bluntly, the losers have to pay the price they deserve.
The main problem is that very few of these wealthy families, noble clans, and royal relatives are any good.
Even military examinations could be used to open betting and make money off the common people.
If you want fairness and impartiality, fine, but what kind of behavior is this, secretly manipulating things?
Not to mention that they are still thinking of using money to bribe the enemy, and in the end these costs will only be passed on to the people.
Furthermore, war is not a game played in a village, where you fight a battle and then go back.
Are the people of Lan Dynasty human, but the people of Cangyue Royal Court not human?
For Chu Danqing, there was no difference between the two.
"You think you can take me on?" Ujuhribo was so angry at Chu Danqing's words that he laughed.
Even if you have a superior divine weapon, so what? Does he not have one?
Not to mention that Chu Danqing was alone; how could she possibly stop him?
“Yes, based on me.” Chu Danqing said calmly, “Poor people don’t have much to offer. Even if you squeeze every last drop out of them, there won’t be much left.”
"But those aristocratic families, nobles, and members of the imperial family are different; they are rich, very rich."
“You can kill them at will.” Chu Danqing knew that doing so would actually harm the interests of high-ranking officials like Uzhuhelibo.
Because of the three groups Chu Danqing mentioned, the money should have all gone into their pockets.
As for his soldiers, they usually robbed people from their homes.
Since Chu Danqing wouldn't allow the robbery, if they wanted to appease the soldiers, they had to pay for it themselves.
"Absurd!" Ujuhribo cursed, feeling that the man in front of him was arrogant and conceited.
"If we can't reach an agreement, I can just kill you," Chu Danqing said bluntly. "Without you, I think things will be simpler from here on out."
"Isn't your behavior a bit too domineering?" Shenying couldn't help but say.
The capture of Yundu was a great gain for all of them.
"My request was indeed a bit excessive." Chu Danqing admitted that what he said was indeed wrong, but he changed the subject: "But I'm willing to do it."
When Chu Danqing couldn't win, he had to back down; there was nothing that could be done about it.
He's already beaten them, so standing around watching would be a waste of his strength.
"Furthermore, if I were truly domineering, I would have forced you to withdraw your troops," Chu Danqing said.
Thankfully, I met the person I am now, not the person I was back then.
Otherwise, they'll lose a fortune.
"Heh, don't think your skills are just empty talk." As soon as Ujuhribo finished speaking, all the indigenous soldiers in the tent appeared, waiting for the order to act.
Not only them, but a small group of apostles who thought they could defeat them also brandished their weapons.
This action made Ujuhribo frown. He had thought everyone would support him, but it turned out that most of them did not take action.
These people were all his trusted advisors.
“People, the Wolf Lord can remain unmoved,” Shenying said, suppressing his trembling fear.
Just now, Shenying had his exploration apostle from his adventure team investigate Chu Danqing's summoned creature.
The results were all question marks.
He was even able to discover a third of the Wolf Lord's detailed attributes.
This means that any summoned creature could easily defeat the Wolf Lord.
In this trial world, the Wolf Lord is already like a BOSS to these apostles.
But the apostle in front of us is even more powerful than the boss.
And these are just the summons that are visible; who knows if the other party has other summons hidden away?
As a Tier 3 Apostle, Shenying naturally knew that elite summoners each possessed an ability similar to a summoning space or contract space to house permanent summons. Those accompanying him were undoubtedly guards; they hadn't even used their trump cards yet.
After sending the findings to the faction channel, the apostles who had brandished their weapons silently sat back down.
This scene naturally did not escape the wolf lord's eyes, and he felt his blood rush to his head.
He simply couldn't understand why his trusted advisors would have such an attitude.
They were clearly fierce and powerful in battle before.
Chu Danqing nodded and looked at Wuzhuhelibo, saying, "That's good. I hope the Wolf Lord will keep his word."
After saying that, Chu Danqing reminded the other party in a private message.
[Silent Poem: Be careful when you enter Cloud City, there's an old monster hiding inside]
When he saw the notification in the private chat, Shenying's expression suddenly changed.
Someone who can be called an old monster by Chu Danqing must be dangerous.
[Shadow God: Thank you, we'll be careful]
The main reason is that Chu Danqing had no reason to lie to herself.
If we really don't let them take Yundu, given their strength, we can completely suppress them by force.
But the other party didn't care about any of that; they only cared about the people.
Ujuhribo's eyes were like a wolf's, staring fiercely at Chu Danqing: "What will you do if I refuse to comply with your wishes?"
He felt he couldn't back down this time, otherwise his prestige would plummet.
“We will persuade the Wolf Lord,” Shen Ying said before Chu Danqing could speak.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you," Chu Danqing said. "After all, the rise and fall of dynasties are all caused by the suffering of the common people."
Chu Danqing knew that these apostles, like him, came from the modern era.
They should all understand this principle.
It's okay if you don't understand, just follow the instructions.
After saying that, Chu Danqing left the tent as if no one else was there.
Chu Danqing didn't care how they tried to persuade the wolf lord.
Even if someone's strength is inferior to his, few are lacking in ability, yet they can become a third-tier dimensional apostle.
Especially with Shenying around, he couldn't possibly be a pushover, given that he was able to develop such a large adventure group.
It's clear from the fact that Chu Danqing was willing to remind him that Chu Danqing had no conflict of interest with them and did not intend to make things difficult for them.
When Chu Danqing left the camp, she encountered Bai Hanzhe, who had rushed back.
The other party made a brief exchange without any small talk, and went straight into the tent to deliver the reply to Ujuhribo.
About ten minutes later, the other party came out.
However, he didn't look too good when he came out.
"Brother Chu, His Highness the Ninth Prince has been placed under house arrest. What happened to you?" Bai Hanzhe wanted to ask Chu Danqing why he hadn't protected him properly.
Chu Danqing interrupted him first: "The person is still alive. Do you expect me to just flip the table?"
"You're just under house arrest. What good do you think it would do to break off relations?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Hanzhe realized he had misspoke and quickly apologized.
"It was my oversight that I failed to understand Brother Chu's good intentions."
"Let's go see His Highness together, so he won't be humiliated."
Chu Danqing was speechless. How could you possibly see anything while under house arrest?
"When will the goods be delivered?" Chu Danqing asked, changing the subject as they walked.
Upon hearing this question, Bai Hanzhe replied, "It's the hour of You (5-7 PM) today, but I just feel..."
At this point, he lowered his voice: "This matter is ultimately like trying to get something from a tiger."
"Is there anything unusual in the court?" Chu Danqing suspected that there might be people in the Lan Dynasty who harbored deep grievances or were extremely loyal to the royal court.
Moreover, this person holds a high position; otherwise, they wouldn't have done this.
"No." Bai Hanzhe glanced back but didn't notice anything.
Seeing this, Chu Danqing had no choice but to give up.
“However, I suspect that the treacherous minister Zhang Chongyan is a traitor who has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Perhaps the Wolf Lord promised him a high-ranking position and generous salary,” Bai Hanzhe said in a low voice.
"Wait a minute," Chu Danqing said, both amused and exasperated. "He's after high-ranking officials and generous salaries?"
Zhang Chongyan came from a prominent family and possessed superior divine weapons.
He wielded immense power in the imperial court and had already reached the pinnacle of his official career.
The entire Lan Dynasty was his base of operations. If Yun City were to fall, besides the royal family, he would be the one who would suffer the most.
If he wanted to rebel, Chu Danqing could understand it, since the only other way to advance further was to rebel and become emperor or be granted the title of king.
What benefits would there be in switching sides to the Azure Moon Royal Court? Not to mention the added stigma of being a traitor, there's no guarantee of gaining greater power.
Want to be made a king? Even if you were, it would probably just be a nominal title.
Moreover, given the current situation, it is much easier to be enfeoffed as a king in the Lan Dynasty than in the Cangyue Royal Court.
At least in the Lan Dynasty, there are kings of different surnames, while if the Cangyue Royal Court wants to be crowned a king, it can only be done by becoming the son of the Wolf Lord.
"Uh, I heard that from someone else too." Bai Hanzhe also realized that this statement was indeed untenable.
He mainly found out about it through inquiries.
As for having met Zhang Chongyan, he had only seen him from afar in the Golden Palace before, and had not had any in-depth contact with him.
