Chapter 33 Loyalty to the Country
Chapter 33 Loyalty to the Country (by Xue Qinghe)
"Perhaps we could talk to the King of Slaughter?" Davis suggested tentatively.
"talk?"
"Yes, I know a lot about the King of Slaughter. He is insatiably greedy. As long as the offer is high enough, he will definitely compromise."
Davis now deeply regrets his actions. If he had known this would happen, he should have increased his stakes and gotten the King of Slaughter to hand over the man to him.
Later, hoping for the best, he stopped taking the matter to heart.
Logically speaking, the Kuiba would not survive in the Killing Capital.
To my utter surprise, that kid not only survived, but also gained the favor of the King of Slaughter.
Now he only hopes that it's not too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost.
Dai Tianfeng nodded; the Slaughter City definitely needed to be dealt with.
Especially that Kuiba, he absolutely cannot live!
As long as Kuiba lives, the common people of the world will take him as their target and rebel against the empire!
To eradicate this situation, Kuiba must die, and he must be burned alive in front of all the lowly people in the world!
Only then will those lowly people give up their hopes and continue to be slaves and servants!
"Then who should we send to negotiate? You know the character of those ministers. They're good at enjoying themselves, but we can't count on them for matters of life and death."
"Your subject is willing to go in person," Davis said.
Dai Tianfeng shook his head. "No, the King of Slaughter rejected your conditions before. If he lets you go again, it's probably because he has a prejudice against you."
Davis thought for a moment and said, "The envoy must first and foremost be of noble status, so that the King of Slaughter can see the sincerity of my Star Luo Empire. If my second brother were still alive..."
"Hmph, don't mention that unfilial son!"
Davis continued, "Secondly, the envoy must be eloquent so that the King of Slaughter can agree to our request and hand over Kuiba to us for disposal."
"Thirdly, the envoys also need to have corresponding military strength in order to ensure that the transported goods are safe and sound. In fact, our country has a few people who meet the requirements."
"There are people who meet the requirements, but who dares to go? As soon as they hear that it's the City of Slaughter, I guarantee they will refuse," Dai Tianfeng said.
The City of Slaughter is no ordinary place; it is not a kingdom or the Heavenly Dou Empire.
It's not some sect or force that we can communicate with.
The Killing City is a paradise of evil; anyone who goes there risks their life!
Even as the emperor, he could not force his ministers to do so.
Otherwise, whether or not we can go is another matter. What if the minister tries to cheat us, like falling ill halfway through the journey or encountering robbers along the way...?
Dai Tianfeng was well aware of the true colors of those princes and ministers.
Davis frowned, then gritted his teeth: "Father, I have someone in mind, she is definitely capable."
"Who?"
"My fiancée is Zhu Zhuyun."
Dai Tianfeng was taken aback. "The Zhu family's girl?"
"Yes, it's her."
"Weiss, are you out of your mind? You're sending that Zhu girl to the Killing City? Do you know what it means for a beautiful woman to enter the Killing City?"
Davis hardened his heart and said, "Your subject knows, but at present she is the most suitable, and only she dares to go. If we give up this opportunity because of womanly compassion, then the Killing City will surely become a major threat in the future."
"For the sake of the future of my Star Luo Empire, what does sacrificing a fiancée matter? Please, Father, issue the decree."
Dai Tianfeng frowned: "The Zhu family girl is the most valued young person in the Zhu family. Sending her there requires considering the Zhu family's attitude."
Davis said, "I discussed it with her personally. As long as she agrees, even the Zhu family will have nothing to say."
"In that case... then you may go."
"Your subject takes his leave!"

The Heavenly Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
In the same emperor's study, a completely different scene is unfolding.
Emperor Xueye stood by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, while Crown Prince Xue Qinghe stood behind him.
"Qinghe, what do you think about the recent recruitment drive in the Killing City?"
Xue Qinghe frowned and analyzed seriously: "Recruiting soldiers and buying horses is not scary. What is scary is the hearts of the people. During this period, the King of Slaughter has won over many civilians by using the name of Kuiba. We must be on guard."
Both being feudal empires, what the Star Luo Empire feared, the Heaven Dou Empire naturally also worried about.
Emperor Xueye was somewhat puzzled. "Kuiba? I think I heard news about him a while ago. I heard he killed a lot of Soul Masters, saying he was doing something like 'acting on behalf of Heaven'?"
"Yes, Father Emperor, Kuiba helps the common people under the guise of acting on behalf of Heaven, which is why he is now very famous among the people, and many commoners admire him," Xue Qinghe replied.
Sure enough, with a single call to arms, many civilians have flocked to the Killing City.
They claimed to be heading to the City of Slaughter, but everyone knew that those civilians were actually going to join the Kuiba.
Those civilians didn't care where the killing city was; they only knew that Kuiba would protect them, and they trusted Kuiba.
In the Douluo Continent, it has been a long time since anyone has dared to rebel against Soul Masters and nobles.
Kuiba did this job, and he succeeded. The rewards he's getting now are only natural.
Emperor Xueye said with a stern face, "The Douluo Continent will not allow such a person to exist."
Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "I believe that those sects and empires will not allow this person to appear."
"Alright then, carry out my instructions and send someone to speak with the King of Slaughter."
Xue Qinghe replied without hesitation, "Your subject is willing to go personally!"
"You're going in person?" Emperor Xueye hesitated.
This is his son, the crown prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Although the Crown Prince's personal visit would demonstrate his sincerity to the King of Slaughter, it would also come with significant risks for him.
"Father, it is my duty to serve the country." Xue Qinghe's eyes were very firm.
Others may fear the City of Slaughter, but she is not.
Even if the negotiations fail, she is confident that she can escape unscathed.
"Hmm... If you succeed, there will be no more voices opposing you in the court. You should go." Emperor Xueye was a ruthless character and immediately gave the order:
"Qinghe, as long as the King of Slaughter agrees to hand over Kuiba, we can pay a higher price. Kuiba must die!"
"Your subject obeys the decree."
After leaving the palace, Xue Qinghe returned to his own residence as the Crown Prince.
Upon arriving at her study, she dismissed all the maids and guards.
In an instant, a dark figure appeared behind the screen.
"Elder Serpent Spear, is there any news from the Spirit Hall?"
"Reporting to the young master, according to the latest news, the Pope was seriously injured after leaving the City of Slaughter."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe stood up abruptly and looked at the dark figure behind the screen.
Her eyes were filled with surprise, as if she doubted the authenticity of the news.
