The Return Of The Lord God [Quick Travel]

Arc 12.9 [Chapter 276]

"Prince Li Chige doesn't want our wine only because it is delicious, but because the Snow Kingdom is a tight line of defence for the Great Yao Kingdom. The Yue Kingdom and the Great Yao Kingdom are the two major kingdoms, with the Yue Kingdom bordering the Kalou Kingdom and the Great Yao Kingdom bordering the Snow Kingdom. Our Kingdom is between the Great Yao and the Kalou kingdoms. The Yue Kingdom and the Kalou Kingdom have secretly allied, and once the Snow Kingdom is captured by the Kalou Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom is bound to attack the Great Yao Kingdom through this line of defence. "

"So the wine and all that was just a way to gain allies."

"Then why must you choose this route?"

"I'm doing this to open up a trade route with the Great Yao Kingdom. Instead of cheapening ourselves to the Kalou and Yue Kingdoms, I'd rather take advantage of my allies, don't you think? Soon after you returned from your last mission to the Great Yao, the Third Prince silently entered the Snow Kingdom in disguise. I guess their emperor sent him here to investigate whether the Snow Kingdom wants to ally with him. After all, the Snow Kingdom has been indifferent to the world for so long. It was suspicious when we suddenly showed our goodwill."

"Using the wine market to open up a channel with the Great Yao Kingdom is our ultimate goal."

Bai Lixin opened the envelope, and as expected, there was a letter of goodwill inside. In a few words, Prince Li Chige expressed his admiration for Bai Lixin and regretted leaving in a hurry due to family matters. He promised to come and visit him in full costume one day.

One month later, the third prince of the Great Yao kingdom visited the Snow Kingdom on behalf of his Emperor. The flowers were in bloom, and it was the only time of the year that one had the opportunity to see such beautiful scenery in the Snow Kingdom.

The snow and ice melted, and spring returned. There were flowers and willows in bloom everywhere.

The Third Prince had come in full costume, just as he had said in his letter.

As the head of the Kingdom, Emperor Shengyuan brought along his two sons and ministers accordingly, while the Third Prince of the Great Yao Kingdom also brought several gifts to give face.

Emperor Shengyuan was overjoyed and hastened to introduce Prince Li Chige and his entourage to the Great Hall.

"I heard that the Third Prince loves to play chess, so I have specially prepared a set of crystal chess pieces." Emperor Shengyuan smiled while looking at Prince Li Chige. With a clap of his hands, two palace maids carried the chessboard and chess pieces in.

Prince Li Chige stroked the crystal clear chess pieces and sighed, "Although chess pieces are good, it would be a waste if there was no opponent to match them. Your Majesty, I also visited with another purpose. I wonder if I will have the honour of playing against your prince?"

Emperor Shengyuan laughed out loud, "I did not expect that the Third Prince would bring a chess game on purpose. In that case, two imperial sons, which of you would like a match since the Third Prince has invited you? Xin'er, are you willing? "

Bai Liwu did not move and glanced at Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin was not good at chess and he had always defeated him, so he must be afraid of going forward. He did not need to plead; he would be the one to go play.

"This son is willing to play." Bai Lixin said in a low voice after a moment.

Bai Liwu smiled. See, cowardly... he said, willing to play... Huh?! Willing to go play?!

Bai Liwu looked at Bai Lixin quickly and whispered, "Xin'er, have you thought about it? You are to represent our Snow Kingdom against Prince Li Chige. Don't try to be brave. How sure are you of winning?"
