I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 43 Proposal
Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan didn't care about the transaction between the Prince Wu's Mansion and the barbarians.

Every day, the two of them would either distribute porridge at the city gate, or bask in the sun and practice martial arts in the yard, or go out together to play around Beijiang City, listening to music, reading books and enjoying the scenery.

The two of them lived freely and quietly, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

Because of Mo Ruyan, Lai Yang got to know many soldiers in Beijiang City.

They had heard about their relationship long ago and were very enthusiastic towards Lai Yang, often inviting him to exchange skills.

It is true that Lai Yang is much stronger than everyone else, but he has very little experience in life-and-death battles, and cannot compare to these elite soldiers who have been guarding the border for many years and fighting bravely with the barbarians.

Especially the terrifying evil spirit that emanated from the opponent during the battle was truly shocking.

Lai Yang learned a lot of practical experience from everyone, and he mastered the Thousand Soldiers Killing Sword to perfection.

The Thousand-Troop Killing Sword is a sword used for killing on the battlefield. Once the sword is drawn, blood will flow like a river and thousands of troops will be frightened away. It is extremely domineering.

He has also cultivated the Qingxiang Sword and the Eighteen Plum Blossom Styles to great perfection, but is still a little short of mastery.

Above the state of perfection, there is another state called the pinnacle of perfection.

Reaching the pinnacle of achievement is something that can only be achieved through chance encounters and cannot be achieved simply by practicing in isolation.

Reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship not only requires strict strength, but is also related to one's state of mind and understanding.

Anyone who has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship is a master of swordsmanship.

Lai Yang is very satisfied with his current quiet and leisurely life. His strength is steadily improving bit by bit every day.

The further you advance in each attribute, the stronger the improvement effect of each attribute value will be, except for lifespan.

This is why when Lai Yang's Qi and Blood attributes exceeded 100, he possessed the strength comparable to a ninth-grade warrior.

When the Qi and Blood attributes exceed 200, one will possess the strength comparable to an eighth-grade martial artist.

And for an eighth-grade martial artist who practices diligently, defeating three or five ninth-grade martial artists is no problem at all.

The gap is even more obvious above the Grandmaster level. Grandmasters can release their internal energy to form a qi to protect their bodies and kill enemies.

As long as the internal energy is not exhausted, no matter how many masters come, they will die.

Nothing is absolute unless it is unbreakable by external means such as powerful force or powerful skills or treasures.

According to his understanding during this period, the fifth-grade martial arts grandmaster is the top existence in the Great Yan Dynasty.

The strong ones above the fifth rank are basically in the immortal sects and Taoist schools outside the dynasty.

That group of people is pursuing the path to immortality and will not easily interfere in the affairs of the secular dynasty.

Perhaps because they feel they are above the realm of ordinary people, or perhaps because they are worried about being contaminated by karma, it is difficult for most ordinary people to find any trace of them.

There is an immortal sect behind the Great Yan Dynasty.

Any elder in the Immortal Sect has the ability to easily destroy the Great Yan Dynasty.

But as just said, they will not easily interfere in the affairs of the secular dynasty.

Unless there is a Taoist sect of the same level trying to steal their business and disrupt things behind the scenes, they will consider sending someone to solve the problem.

Otherwise, even if Lord Mo had a hundred courages, he would not dare to rebel against an immortal sect.

In front of such a behemoth, their strength and life are no different from those of ants.

A month has passed since Suo Yingzhuo and others left Beijiang City with jewelry and food.

Suoyingzhuo once again brought the barbarian envoys to Beijiang City.

The news he brought this time surprised the entire Prince Wu's Mansion.

"Your Highness, our great king said that in order to show his sincerity in cooperation, our king is willing to marry the princess with ten thousand cattle and sheep and one thousand war horses as a betrothal gift, and to establish an eternal alliance with the Prince Wu's Palace. At that time, our king will personally lead the army to Beijiang City to welcome the princess." Suo Yingzhuo leaned forward and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, the generals of Prince Wu's Palace flew into a rage. One of them suddenly jumped out and cursed, "Want to marry the princess? Do you think you are worthy?! I think you are a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. It's wishful thinking. We will never agree to this!"

Sensing the murderous intent around him, the barbarian envoy showed disdain and said arrogantly, "My king is marrying your princess to show you respect. This is my king's personal order. If Your Highness is unwilling, then we must reconsider whether to send a large army to form an alliance with the Wu Palace."

"You are nothing but a bunch of bloodthirsty people, yet you dare to threaten my Wuwang Mansion? I think you don't know how to write the word death!"

Everyone had unfriendly expressions and murderous intent in their eyes.

Waiting for Lord Mo's order, they would instantly cut the barbarian envoys into pieces and hang their heads on the city walls for public display.

Lord Mo looked indifferently at the barbarian envoys and slowly said, "Kemerdar wants to marry my daughter, but I don't see his sincerity. He wants to marry the princess of my Northern Frontier City, so he asked you to come to my Wuwang Mansion to propose marriage. Don't you think too much of me, Lord Mo,?"

As soon as the words fell, a terrifying aura of pressure fell on the barbarian envoys, frightening them so much that they looked solemn and fearful, their legs went weak and they wanted to kneel down.

"Go back and tell your king, Kemerdar, that if he wants to marry my Lord Mo's daughter, then he should come to Beijiang City in person to propose marriage. If he doesn't even have this much courage, he's not worthy of being my Lord Mo's in-law."

Suo Yingzhuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nervously, "We must convey the prince's words to our king truthfully."

"Show him away." Lord Mo waved his hand and immediately gave the order to expel the guest.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the prince didn't let them kill these barbarians, but since the prince didn't order them to kill them, they couldn't do it either, so they could only drive everyone out.

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Lord Mo's eyes. He was not worried that his actions today would anger Kemmerdal.

Kemmerdar is a shrewd guy. If Lord Mo easily agrees to the other party's request, he might become suspicious and worry that they have set a trap in Beijiang City and are waiting for him to jump in.

Lord Mo knew very well that there could be no compromise when dealing with these barbarians. The weaker he appeared, the more aggressive they would be until they devoured their prey bite by bite.

Suo Yingzhuo and others were expelled from Beijiang City.

The other barbarian envoys were cursing.

Suo Yingzhuo didn't take it seriously and even slowly straightened his clothes.

"Damn you, Wu Wang Mansion! How dare you humiliate us like this? When our king's army captures Beijiang City, we will repay this humiliation a thousandfold."

"You can shout louder so that they can hear us, and we will become a lonely soul on the mass grave." Suo Yingzhuo glanced coldly at the outspoken barbarian envoy.

The latter's face changed and he stopped talking immediately.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

"No matter what, just go back and report King Tongwu's words to our great king. The king will make the decision."

"Where are the ten thousand cattle and sheep and the thousand war horses we brought with us?"

"If you have the guts, go get the things back?"

The barbarian envoy suddenly stopped talking.

"Talk less and think more. Since they accepted our things, it means there is still room for maneuver. We will leave it to our king to decide when we return. We have done everything we can. Don't bother to get involved and risk your life."

"I understand. Thank you, Lord Suoyingzhuo, for your advice."

"Let's go back to the grassland."

　The new book ranked fifth in the same period and is in the top 100 of the overall ranking. My fellow book lovers are so awesome, haha…

　　There is basically no problem in advancing, thanks to the book friends for their recommendation votes.
