The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 112 Quarrel

Gran had a feeling that this man in black robes was a big fish.

So he completely ignored the other middle-aged man and kept staring at him, relentlessly pursuing him.

He didn't intend to fight them to the death; his goal was to keep them occupied until the Second Prince and his group received the message and moved away before he ran away.

However, he underestimated how much these brown-skinned people valued the gold mines.

Not long after, another person came to help.

He cursed the bastards of the Brown Kingdom in his heart, for they actually treated the mines of Dayong as their own and even sent so many people to guard them. It seemed they really wanted to hollow out the place.

He suppressed his anger and dared not be distracted any longer.

He could barely handle one-on-two opponents, and he was overwhelmed when facing three.

He still had plenty of energy at this point, so his chances of escaping were not low.

But he escaped. What about the others?

There are many brown people here, and they are very familiar with the terrain, making it very difficult for the others to escape.

"Let's delay a little longer!" he roared, his muscles bulging, his blood surging, his whole body steaming with the aura of blood as if he had been pulled from a furnace.

[The Blood Burning Technique... After this ordeal, Gran's power will regress by at least ten years, and it will also cause irreversible damage to his body.]

Fortunately, I was prepared.

As if to confirm Zheng Xun's feelings, the trees swayed in the wind and birds took flight in fright inside the light screen.

A nimble figure flashed behind Gran and struck him with a palm.

The red-hot Gran instantly returned to normal.

He turned around and saw the person who had come, and the anger on his face instantly turned into fear: "Meng... Senior Mengjia!"

He was now like a rascal who had gotten into big trouble outside, suddenly seeing his old mother coming with a stick, looking terrified.

Mengjia raised her coiled dragon staff and gently lashed it at his calf: "You brat, I'll settle the score with you later!"

The three people opposite Mengjia reacted like wary cats, instantly bristling and crouching defensively, as if they might suddenly attack at any moment.

Mengjia squinted and said with a forced smile, "Since you are all guests from afar, I should do my best to be a good host. However, you have trespassed into my territory and want to eat and take things. Don't you think you are showing a lot of disrespect to Dayong?"

A clear, melodious voice rang out from the man in black robes: "Are you one of the Emperor of Dayong?"

"Oh~ Don't say such misleading things. I don't like the emperor type."

Zheng Xun and Jianyang: Hahahaha~

emperor:……

This Mengjia is usually so serious, who knew she was like this in private.

Judging from Gran's nonchalant attitude, she must have made a lot of fuss about him.

The man in black robes knew she was joking, so he chuckled and provoked her, saying, "You dare to even discuss the Emperor? You people of Dayong really don't know any manners."

“Our Emperor of Dayong is broad-minded. We respect and honor him in our hearts, but we only say a few words. His Majesty is not so narrow-minded,” Mengjia said, then suddenly realized, “However, you probably don’t understand this principle. After all, the Emperor of He Kingdom is tyrannical, and the people of He Kingdom are nothing more than thieves who covet other people’s things.”

Neither side was certain of victory. The Brown Kingdom was waiting for reinforcements from the mine, while Mengjia was stalling for time, so they started exchanging verbal sparring.

"What do you know? Without iron-fisted methods, how can you govern a nation's people? You should learn from the domineering spirit of our Brown Kingdom."

"Iron-blooded? You have the nerve to say that? I'm embarrassed to even hear it. If you call oppressing the people 'iron-blooded,' then the Great Yong Dynasty is truly ashamed of itself."

"Exploitation? How can we be sure that the people of the Brown Kingdom aren't willingly serving as slaves to our royal family?"

"It's ridiculous. If the Brown Kingdom is really so poor that it can't even afford to eat, it can simply bring its bowl to the gate of Dayong and knock on it. We are kind-hearted and might be able to give you some alms, so that you won't have to come to Dayong to steal when you're down on your luck. However, since your Brown Kingdom is so harsh on its people, when you see the state of our Dayong, you might voluntarily give up your Brown Kingdom identity and turn around and join our Dayong."

"Nonsense! Our Brown Kingdom is so powerful, our people aren't stupid; they naturally know that the Brown Kingdom is better!"

"Our Great Yong is good to its people."

"The Brown Kingdom is powerful!"

"Our Great Yong is good to its people."

"The Brown Kingdom's treasury is overflowing!"

"Our Great Yong is good to its people."

"The Brown Kingdom has a strong and well-equipped army!"

"Our Great Yong Dynasty treats its people well!"

The argument between the two eventually turned into a childish squabble.

But they both knew their true intentions.

The brown-clad people were waiting for their reinforcements, but a quarter of an hour passed, then another quarter of an hour, and they argued until their throats were dry, but the mine remained completely silent, as if it were dead.

Later, the man in the black robe kept looking towards the mine, clearly becoming impatient.

Finally, someone came from the direction of the mine. Upon seeing the person, Mengjia revealed a relieved smile.

"There are only three Grandmasters in you, right? You've all come out here? Good that you've all come out... Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I didn't come alone."

The black-robed man's cloak swayed slightly, revealing the turmoil in his heart.

[Hehe, the patrol guards still have some capable people. Yu Hong did a good job.]

The Yu Hong that Zheng Xun mentioned was the former squad leader of the patrol guard. In the patrol guard, his squad was very disciplined and didn't fit in with the others, so they were pushed to the position of guard. But even so, they stuck to their posts and did their best to fulfill their duties.

Such a capable and principled person should not be overlooked.

Zheng Xun secretly entrusted him with the task of reclaiming the treasury, giving him an opportunity.

It was obvious that he had caught it.

It was not in vain that Zheng Xun bypassed the emperor to borrow troops from the local area to help him.

However, she hadn't informed the emperor about this beforehand. This was blatantly a false imperial edict, and she wondered if she would be punished...

What was the emperor thinking at that moment?

He was trying to figure out the identity of the man in the black robe.

After learning that the mine had fallen, the other two brown-clad people did not think about retaking the mine, but rather about protecting the black-robed man.

His status must be quite high!

Perhaps unwilling to give up, the man in black took a step toward the mine.

The other two quickly stopped him, saying respectfully, "Your safety is paramount!"

Mengjia narrowed her eyes and suddenly swung a palm at the man in black robes.

She was the oldest and had the most profound martial arts skills. Here, if she said she was number one, no one would dare to say she was number two. So when he attacked unexpectedly, the man in black robes had no chance of escaping.

Logically speaking, this palm strike should have been enough to give the man in black robes a hard time, but unexpectedly, the man in black robes turned to the side in a way that exceeded his limits, and in the end, he only suffered minor injuries.

Everyone was astonished and even began to suspect that he had been hiding his true strength.

Mengjia refused to believe in such superstition and still wanted to make a move, but by then she had already lost the initiative, and the other two Brown Kingdom people did their best to stop her.

The slap also brought the man in the black robe to his senses, and he stopped obsessing over the gold mine.

"go!"

He uttered that word and turned to leave.

Menga and Gran tried to stop them, but the other two Brown Countrymen held them back like madmen.
