The Ruler
266. Yuan Liu and Yuan Shui.
Somewhere else.
Xui Long and everyone who was inside the meeting room earlier, moved to gather the clan higher-ups who were still loyal to the Yuan clan, and those who were still in a gray position.
The main palace of Gu Lu.
Yuan Liu, disguised as a palace maid, continued to move into the area in annoyance.
" Rightly annoying," he saw a few Yin clan warriors standing guard at that place.
Not long after, Yuan Liu finally arrived at the door of the city leader's residence.
" Servant, it's been a very night, please not to disturb your majesty" said the soldier.
" It's me" Yuan Liu said as he pointed the Clan badge at the soldier standing guard.
" Princess, sorry not to recognize you...." While inviting Yuan Liu into the room.
" Thank you...." Then enter the room quietly.
Inside the room, Yuan Liu continued to move until he arrived at the door of the emperor's room.
" Dad, Liu er wants to meet," he said as he gently knocked on the door of the room.
Without any answer, suddenly the door of the palace room opened.
" Liu er, come in.." a hoarse voice spoke from within.
Calmly, Yuan Liu then entered the room, encountering a figure sitting quietly cultivating.
" Dad, sorry to interrupt" he said slowly, occupying the available seats.
" Speak...."
" Father, I have met someone who is willing to help us," Yuan Liu said in seriousness.
" Liu er, don't joke. Just being able to survive until now is enough. Are you going to make this city sink into their wrath." in an annoyed tone.
Yuan Liu was speechless, staring at the figure before him sadly.
" My dad's not a little girl anymore. If I knew this wasn't certain, I would never talk about it."
The middle-aged figure shook his head.
" Liu er, you're too young and grumpy. I know we've been very careless about their actions, but have you thought about the consequences carefully?" opening his eyes, he stared intently at Yuan Liu.
" Dad, already thought about it-"
" Liu er, Gu Lu City is the one-one closest city to the Yin sky mountain. In addition, there are many lives in this city. Do you know what Dad meant?"
" I know dad, but until when are we gonna be like this? Do we wait until they dare slap us in a public place?not blatantly?" With teary eyes.
" Liu er, let alone put up a fight, to build up strength we have difficulty," said the figure who let out a long sigh.
" Father, we are already unable to build strength, but we can borrow another power, and I have met that figure."
" Liu er, you are too young and naive. Gu Lu City was a small town that was on the verge of collapse. Who cares so much about that?"
" There, dad-"
" Liu er, don't be naive. Stranger concern, it is because they have a certain reason and that is certainly for their own benefit!" he said cutting Yuan Liu's words firmly.
" The father of every working person must want to earn a wage, and of course he wants something, in order to get his help, I have offered a clan heirloom," Yuan Liu said seriously.
" What? offering them with clan heirlooms? you're really.." with an annoyed face.
" Where then is the concern of the father who wants to protect the city and the people who are in it, if only because of the clan heirlooms that we cannot use I give to others? This father is an incredible opportunity. I knew I would never be able to convince Dad, but I had one request, and maybe this was my last. I want father to meet that figure," he said seriously, making the middle-aged figure speechless.
Suddenly the room became silent, with the two figures now holding each other back from speaking. Yuan Liu was speechless as he had delivered successfully conveying the purpose of his arrival, whereas the middle-aged figure was speechless, to make a decision.
After being silent for quite a while, finally the figure nodded its head.
" Good," he said slowly.
" Thank you dad. Tomorrow night, come to my residence palace," Yuan Liu said with a serious face.
" Thank you father, Liu er retreat," he said as he took out one bottle of the drink he had obtained from Qing Ruo earlier.
" Dad, this is the best drink. I hope you like it." Putting the drink on the table, and then leaving the room.
After Yuan Liu left, the room again became quiet with the figure of a middle-aged man who could only shake his head.
" Jeo liu er.... Liu er's. You really made me dizzy," he said slowly as he grabbed the drink Yuan Liu left on the table, then sipped the drink straight from the bottle.
" What....!" With wide eyes, he stared at the bottle of drink in his hand happily.
" It's really the best drink. Liu er, thank you.." he said, then poured the drink on the glass, and enjoyed leisurely.
" Nearly," he said, sipping his drink slowly with eyes twinkling with pleasure.
****
Somewhere else.
Yuan Liu continued to move away from the palace of the Emperor's residence with a feeling of pleasure.
" May others also succeed" he said as he continued to move back towards his residence.
****
Somewhere else.
The entire night Qing Ruo rested inside her room quietly. Towards morning, Qing Ruo then stopped her cultivation when she sensed that a person was moving closer to the room.
" Lord," said Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao, who were standing guard in the room, waking him up.
" I also feel it," Qing Ruo said as she stood quietly.
Not long after, the door of the room was knocked.
" Young master, I'm Lu Dan," he said from behind the door introducing himself.
Mayi Xian calmly opened the door, and let her enter the room.
" Thank you, sir..." Cupped his hands respectfully, then met Qing Ruo who was inside the room.
" Please, general, ' said Qing Ruo, allowing Lu Dan to occupy the available seats.
" Thank you, young master." He occupies the seat in front of him.
After occupying the available seats, Lu Dan then conveyed the purpose of his arrival.
" Young master, this is about the meeting we're about to have. We have managed to contact the clan leaders and those who are still loyal to the Yuan Clan, but from the grey circles, they have not responded too much and take this matter for granted, can this meeting still be held?"
" No problem, what matters is that everyone who still loves this city comes to the meeting, then what about the Emperor?"
" The Princess said that His Highness the emperor Yuan Shui was also willing..."
" Alright, I think that's enough," Qing Ruo said calmly.
" If so, is there any further order, sir?" asked Lu Dan respectfully.
Qing Ruo shook her head.
" It's just make sure that this meeting is completely safe."
" Well, regarding the meeting, we will call the young master if everyone is ready."
" Alright," Qing Ruo replied.
After speaking, Lu Dan left the room.
" Mayi Xian, Mayi Cao, I have a little business. If anyone comes looking for me, tell me I don't want to be disturbed."
" Good ruler...."
" After speaking, Qing Ruo then walked out of the room.
After Qing Ruo left, Mayi Xian and Mayi Cao also walked out of the room, then stood guard at the door.
