Chapter 490: Alien Rebellion
Outside the courtyard, Wu Xiuxian and his party were still in a stalemate with Chu Ziyan.
They wanted to enter the courtyard, but Chu Ziyan was like a door god, and he would not give in no matter what.
Fortunately, under Wu Xiuxian's suppression, the loyal Tiance Army did not attack the arrogant man who had no respect for the monarch.
Otherwise, this Tiance Army would probably be wiped out in an instant.
Since they did not attack, Chu Ziyan would naturally not lower his status to attack, not to mention that he was not a fool. This Wu Huang should be an acquaintance of Han Xu. If he really beat him, there would still be some problems.
At least it would make Han Xu feel that he had no vision.
Combined with his understanding of Han Xu, Chu Ziyan believed that Han Xu must have questions to ask the Wu Huang of the Great Wu Dynasty.
Seeing Han Xu coming out, Chu Ziyan snorted and disappeared on the spot. Han Xu would handle the next thing.
"Your Majesty, long time no see." Han Xu smiled and walked towards Wu Xiuxian step by step.
"How dare you not kneel down and salute your Majesty!" A Tiance Army soldier scolded. This was a completely instinctive reaction, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of divine power descending.
He saw Han Xu's eyes looking at him, and with just one glance, he seemed to see a bottomless abyss and countless evil spirits.
"Shut up! Apologize to Brother Han!" At this time, Wu Xiuxian scolded.
Han Xu then looked away. The Tiance Army soldier was already soaked and sweating. Just in that short moment, he seemed to have walked through the gates of hell. If it weren't for Wu Xiuxian's words, he might never wake up again.
After coming to his senses, even though he had experienced hundreds of battles and seen countless lives and deaths, he still couldn't help but tremble in his legs and never dared to look at Han Xu straight in the eye again.
"You must not be rude." Wu Xiuxian said, "Remember, Brother Han, you don't need to be polite when you see me in the future."
In order to avoid further misunderstandings, Wu Xiuxian quickly added that he was the only one present who remembered how terrible Han Xu's strength was, and he didn't dare to speculate what opportunities Han Xu had in the upper realm this year, and how much his cultivation had improved.
But seeing that he could bring back a master like Chu Ziyan, he must have done well in the upper realm.
And now that the alien races are invading in large numbers, Wu Xiuxian also needs Han Xu's strength.
"Mr. Han, I'm sorry." Several Tiance Army soldiers obeyed and apologized quickly.
Han Xu seemed to have heard nothing. He looked at Wu Xiuxian, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to give Wu Xiuxian a chance to explain himself.
He knew that with Wu Xiuxian's agility, he would definitely know what he meant.
"Brother Han, you don't know that just half a year ago, the foreign race suddenly invaded in large numbers. In just a few months, my Great Wu Dynasty lost most of its territory. Now we can only retreat to this southern border and defend at the dangerous Qingjiang Pass. Now King Wei and King Lin are leading the army and commanding the battle on the front line."
"So, in order to let Uncle Wei and Uncle Lin fight for you, you held Luo Ling and Qing'er here as hostages?" Han Xu questioned. He clearly did not release a trace of breath, but made Wu Xiuxian feel like he was struck by lightning.
He immediately became nervous. He remembered that the last time he was so nervous was when the foreign race broke through the royal city and was forced to flee.
"Brother Han, please don't misunderstand me." Wu Xiuxian said calmly, "King Wei and King Lin went to the front line out of helplessness. At present, except for the extraordinary strong, no one can compete with the aliens."
"Let's talk somewhere else." Han Xu said, "I don't want to disturb Luo Ling's rest."
"Okay, let's talk in detail in the study." Hearing Han Xu say this, Wu Xiuxian's hanging heart was relieved.
It seems that Han Xu will not pursue the matter of King Wei and Lin Feng for the time being. Of course, it is also because the aliens have not crossed the Qingjiang River at present, and King Wei and Lin Feng are not in danger at the front line for the time being.
After Han Xu finished speaking, he raised his legs and walked away, ignoring Wu Xiuxian at all.
According to etiquette, Wu Xiuxian should be allowed to walk in front. Han Xu's behavior, in the eyes of others, is simply disrespectful to the monarch and lawless.
The Tiance Army had just been scolded by Wu Xiuxian before. Seeing Han Xu like this, although he felt it was inappropriate, he refrained from pointing it out.
But Yan Liang couldn't stand it because he hadn't said anything before.
Yan Liang knew that Han Xu had a high status in Wu Xiuxian's heart, and he also knew that Han Xu had been to the upper realm and was very powerful, but all of this could not be a reason for him to offend the imperial power.
There was another deeper reason. Yan Liang did not want to see someone with more power than him appear in the court in the future.
He wanted to get angry, but he suppressed this impulse. Wu Xiuxian was obviously very afraid of Han Xu. This fear was not shown by Wu Xiuxian when facing anyone else.
Before he figured out Han Xu's strength, Yan Liang would not act rashly. His character has always been calm. It was because of this calmness that he thought twice before doing anything, which made him have his current status.
Han Xu had no intention of guessing what Yan Liang was thinking, and he even didn't look at Yan Liang straight in the eye from beginning to end.
As Zhu Weitong said to Qing'er before, in Han Xu's eyes, there was no Dawu Dynasty anymore.
In the study, there were only Han Xu and Wu Xiuxian.
Han Xu said, "Tell me, what's going on with the alien race? I know the strength of the alien race. How could they cross the defense line of the Northern Border Heavenly Wolf Army? And how could they force the Dawu Dynasty to this point?"
Han Xu was born in the North. The biggest responsibility of the Northern Tianlang Army is to defend against alien invasions, so Han Xu has been familiar with aliens since he was a child.
When Han Li had not yet entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man, he had led the Tianlang Army to kill the aliens. If it were not for the bitter cold land outside the North that was not suitable for human survival and the difficulty for the Tianlang Army to penetrate deep, the aliens might have been exterminated by Han Li long ago.
Even if Han Li died, Lin Feng was also a master who had entered the realm of transcendence. With him guarding the North, there should be no problem. Moreover, most of the top masters of the Dawu Dynasty died at the hands of Han Xu, but the Worship Court could still produce some extraordinary masters. How come even the Royal City was breached?
Wu Xiuxian sighed and said, "To be honest, I still don't understand what happened. It started half a year ago.
At first, a small group of aliens harassed the northern border, but they were all killed by King Lin and his men. He thought it was just an accident at first, but then, the alien army came to the city. In just ten days, they occupied 36 cities in the northern border. Wherever they passed, they captured strong men and took them back to do hard labor, and killed the old, weak, women and children."
Although Han Xu didn't say anything, he clenched his fists. The northern border is his hometown in this world.
