Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

"Your Majesty, weren't you just saying that you would personally arrange a welcoming banquet for the Marquis of Champion?"

Bagu Lun gave Mi Luoxi a wink, and the latter, startled, quickly realized what he meant and hurriedly got up and walked out.

"The Heavenly Wizard is right, I do indeed have this plan."

"Lord Champion, I was so happy to see you that I almost forgot myself. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

"Please, Your Excellency, have a moment to chat with the Tongtian Wizard. I will prepare fine wine and delicacies to welcome you!"

After saying that, she left without looking back.

When only the two of them remained in the royal tent, Bagu Lun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Just now, he was really afraid that Lu Xiao would snatch the sword from the gatekeeper and kill him or Milossi if they disagreed!

You must know that Lu Xiao is a fierce general who can rush towards Mirohan in the midst of a massive army. Now that the new king of the Northern Hu and the Tongtian Witch are right in front of him, if he really has gone mad, such a thing is not impossible!

Otherwise, how could this guy have dared to march straight into the Northern Hu royal court with only eight thousand men?

He's a complete madman!

After making this assessment of Lu Xiao in his heart, Ba Gu Lun smiled and invited Lu Xiao to have some tea.

"May I ask what brings the Marquis of Champion here today?"

At this moment, he was trying his best to suppress his fear and hoped to resolve the matter through negotiation and send the person away peacefully.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao chuckled softly:

"I've heard that after Mirohan's death, many of you Northern Hu people are clamoring for a full-scale mobilization of your tribes to teach this Marquis and the Great Zhou a lesson. All tribes are also preparing for another southward invasion?"

"No, no, how could our tribe dare to act in such a way?"

Immediately, Ba Gu Lun shook his head vigorously, denying these rumors:

"To be honest, my lord, my king has just ascended the throne, and because of his age, he is not recognized by everyone. Some unruly tribes have disobeyed orders and even dared to say that they want to go south."

"Neither my king nor I will send troops south again, please rest assured, my lord!"

Seeing his sincerity, Lu Xiao became even more wary.

The saying goes, "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts."

Ba Gu Lun is now adopting a very humble posture, but he is very likely to retaliate fiercely in the future.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Lu Xiao smiled and said:

"In that case, please, King Hu and the Tongtian Wizard, accompany me on this journey."

"Go...where are you going?"

Ba Gu Lun was stunned. When he heard that Lu Xiao asked the two of them to go south directly to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was shocked. He thought that the Great Zhou Dynasty was going to take this opportunity to put them under house arrest.

He quickly said:

"My lord, although I am a powerful sorcerer from the Northern Barbarians, such an important matter cannot be decided by me alone."

"If you don't mind, please allow me to step back for a moment and discuss it with my king before giving you an answer."

"Go."

Once he received permission, Ba Gu Lun hurriedly got up and left.

He ran a few steps to a tent not far from the royal tent, and upon seeing Milossi, immediately asked:

"Your Majesty, did Lu Xiao really only bring eight thousand elite cavalry this time?"

"Indeed, there are only eight thousand, but some brave warriors have scouted both sides of the White Wolf camp and found that the Zhou people are moving troops around. It seems they are ready to fight our Northern Hu at any time!"

Milossi was very troubled.

Just as Bagu Lun told Lu Xiao, the Northern Hu tribes nowadays are completely disobedient, and some even want to see their new king killed by the Zhou people.

Otherwise, Lu Xiao's eight thousand elite cavalry wouldn't have been able to drive straight into the royal court.

After much thought, Maitreya frowned and spoke:

"If we take this opportunity to gather all our troops, could we kill Lu Xiao first, and then launch a surprise attack on the White Wolf camp or other Zhou strongholds along the route?"

"Your Majesty, you mustn't speak carelessly!"

Ba Gu Lun was startled and hurriedly covered Miluo Xi's mouth, turning around and looking around guiltily.

Seeing that there wasn't a single Zhou person nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten how the former king returned to the Eternal Heaven?"

"Your father was heavily protected by his personal guards and army, yet that scoundrel Lu Xiao still managed to break through. Now that your foundation is unstable, even if you issue a call to defend the king, those Sijin chieftains won't take it seriously!"

"Even warriors like Ruoguduo by the side of the former king could not escape being killed by Lu Xiao. Do you think there is any chance of victory?"

"When the order to advance south is issued, few will respond. Wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"

Upon hearing this, Milosi nodded in deep agreement, but still harbored doubts:

"But once the various tribes learn that we have submitted to the Great Zhou, they will definitely rise up in rebellion!"

"This matter is easy to resolve."

Seeing that he was worried about this matter, Ba Gu Lun breathed a long sigh of relief:

"Now, His Majesty has ordered the warriors of the tribe to go to each tribe and spread the word that Lu Xiao is extremely arrogant, claiming that if the Northern Hu do not submit, he will lead an army of 200,000 to attack!"

"Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, those Sijin and Quzhu will certainly not send troops to help after hearing about it. After all, Lu Xiao's presence here means that they know the movements of the Great Zhou army and have not hindered them in the slightest."

"Then the king will have the opportunity to extricate himself and, in turn, rebuke them!"

"In that case, your throne will be secure!"

After listening to Bagu Lun's analysis, Miluosi pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense.

Even the various tribes could only watch helplessly as the Great Zhou army marched in, not daring to make a move. What could a powerless and insignificant barbarian king possibly do?

There is no other way but to submit to the Great Zhou!

Thinking of this, Miluo nodded and then got up to see Lu Xiao, to show that the Northern Hu were willing to submit to the Great Zhou.

But the next second, Ba Gu Lun stopped him.

He asked, puzzled:

"Tongtian Wu, is there anything else?"

"If we linger here too long, wouldn't Lu Xiao get impatient and do something we'll both regret?"

"Your Majesty, Marquis Lu... says that a mere verbal promise is not enough. He requires you and me to travel directly south to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, meet with the Emperor, and express our submission in front of everyone!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Milosi was greatly surprised and rejected the idea almost without thinking:

"If we agree to this, wouldn't we be handing our lives over to them, like cattle being slaughtered?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down, please calm down..."

It took a lot of persuasion from Bagu Lun to calm Miluosi down:

"Your Majesty, this matter can still be discussed. Moreover, I will do my best to persuade Lu Xiao to allow me to travel to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty alone."

"I will definitely not let you put yourself in danger!"

Upon hearing this, Milosi was immediately filled with emotion:

"Tongtian Wu truly deserves to be called the foremost sage of our clan. I thank you in advance."
