"Men, find a doctor and save him. Don't let him die. Everyone, follow me back to the King City."
At the city gate, the news spread. Everyone was envious of Fang Zheng. He was chosen by the Duke. He would definitely rise to fame.
However, this news was quickly overshadowed by another piece of news.
The news that the Sha Kingdom was going to war with the Heavenly Dragon Empire made many people panic.
After all, starting a war meant that people would die. No one wanted to die.
At the same time, this news successfully attracted the Emperor's attention. Eli was summoned by the Emperor again.
This time, Eli brought along Fangzheng, who looked extremely haggard but had recovered his vigor, to meet the Emperor.
Of course, the Emperor did not meet them in the main hall. Instead, he met them in the study.
"Eli, why did you spread the news that the Sha Kingdom and the Heavenly Dragon Empire are going to war?"
An old man with a head of white hair sat at the head of the table and asked sternly.
Even Eli, the Duke, shrunk his neck when he saw this.
"Your Majesty, I did not speak nonsense. This is the City Lord of Wu Hai City. He saw it with his own eyes."
Eli pushed Fang Zheng to the front.
Although Fang Zheng was the City Lord, he had never seen the King of the Heavenly Dragon Empire with his own eyes.
Today, when he saw the dragon's might, his legs felt a little weak.
"Your … Your Majesty, I am Fang Zheng, the City Lord of Wu Hai City. Ten days ago, the Sha Kingdom's soldiers attacked Wu Hai City.
In less than a day, the fleet from Watt City appeared.
Then, I saw Xu Tianyu from Watt City talking to the Sha Kingdom's General at the docks.
In less than a day, all the people in Wu Hai City were transported away. They also gave the Sha Kingdom a lot of food. It is estimated to be more than a million catties. "
The Emperor did not make a decision after hearing Fang Zheng's words. Instead, he looked at the eunuch beside him.
Hong Fu had been by the Emperor's side for many years. Of course, he knew what the Emperor meant.
"Your Majesty, Xu Tianyu is the person in charge of the Tenyu Chamber of Commerce. Half a year ago, he registered a chamber of commerce in our empire.
He is mainly responsible for selling food and meat.
Tenyu Chamber of Commerce is now the biggest grain merchant in the Heavenly Dragon Empire. Most of the rice used in King City comes from Tenyu Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, the Tenyu Merchant Guild had a very close relationship with the Skyspan and Rose Merchant Guilds.
Moreover, the Tenyu Chamber of Commerce had perfectly resolved the threat of the Beastmen Plains to the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
Now, almost all the beastmen depend on the Tenyu Chamber of Commerce for survival. "
If Xu Tianyu was here, he would be very surprised. He didn't expect the Heavenly Dragon Empire's intelligence organization to be so good.
Most of it was correct, but there were some secret information that he didn't know.
After listening to Eunuch Hong Fu's report, His Majesty frowned.
Xu Tianyu's strength was a little too strong. If he was just a businessman, no one would be afraid.
However, Xu Tianyu had the support of the Beastmen. The Beastmen could be said to be natural warriors.
They were existences that could fight two humans at a time. If the Beastmen were equipped with armor, they would be able to contend against the Empire.
Moreover, according to Duke Eli, Xu Tianyu might even be on good terms with the Sand King Empire.
In that case, if Xu Tianyu became independent, there would be no power in the Heavenly Dragon Empire that could stop Xu Tianyu's advance.
At that time, King City would be exposed to the army.
"Eli, I understand what you said. I will investigate it thoroughly. You should return to your territory first."
