1351 TWO Chapter 1351-Ten year agreemen (1/2)

Chapter 1351 – Ten Year Agreement

In the blink of an eye, the 5th month arrived.

A month remained till the squadron arrived at the resource planet.

5th month, 4th day, Imperial Capital, emperor palace.

Summer had arrived, and it was all green within the Imperial Garden. Pleasant scents wafted everywhere. Occasionally, birds would chirp, deer would jump around, and carps would leap from the pond, creating a prosperous image.

Such an immersive atmosphere.

In the pavilion at a corner of the lake, the surrounding surveillance was heavy. The Great Xia imperial dynasty's most respectable emperor, Ouyang Shuo, was currently laughing with a few officials, engaging in merry conversation.

Such a scene was rare.

On the outside, these officials were all pillars of the dynasty.

They were Nanjiang Governor-General Bai Hua, South Asia Governor-General Feng Qiuhuang, West Asia Governor-General Gong Chengshi, Africa Governor-General Mulan Yue, and America Governor-General Wufu.

These five people were the five Governor-Generals of the Empire's border land. Their fame had spread far and wide. Moreover, they were once members of Shanhai Alliance and were close friends of the emperor.

The friendship between them had lasted for ten years already.

A week ago, the Imperial Court's primary Grade 3 rank members, the six Governor-Generals, the Jiedushi, and the 22 Provincial Governors in China had received the decree to enter the imperial capital for a court assembly.

On the military's side, the eight warzone commanders and three Fleet Admirals were all summoned.

At this juncture, everyone knew what was going to happen when his majesty summoned them all to the capital. Hence, everyone arranged their work and hurried back.

The civil servants and generals of the Empire gathered together.

Before the court assembly, Ouyang Shuo met some of officials alone, setting the foundations for the biggest revolution that was about to hit Great Xia.

The conversation with these five was the final and most crucial one.

During these few years, Ouyang Shuo was not the only one of them who had started a family. Wufu had married and had a son, and it was the same for Gong Chengshi. Along with their families, a powerful unit slowly formed around them.

They were new members to the noble circle of the Empire and could not be underestimated.

Once Ouyang Shuo left, the attitude of these five toward the Empire was really important. It would relate to the Empire's ability to maintain its huge scale and even grow bigger.

If they did not cooperate, this matter would be hard to achieve.

Within the pavilion, Ouyang Shuo who was sitting at the lead position placed down his wine glass. Looking at his five friends, he said emotionally, ”Time has passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.”

Ten years had flashed by. All of them had lost their youths and grown old due to worldly matters.

So many changes!

Bai Hua and the others nodded their heads emotionally, their faces showing signs of drunkenness. It seems like they were reminiscing the past 10 years and the many stories within.

Sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy; none of these flavors were lacking.

Apart from during special occasions or feasts, Ouyang Shuo rarely drank wine and basically only drank tea for the past few years. Today, he made an exception; he was planning to open up with the few of them.

Otherwise, he would not be at ease.

”Seeing the children grow up, I've also grown old.” Ouyang Shuo smiled widely.

His words were not totally pretentious or probing. After all, in his eyes, Bing'er was a child he had raised. Seeing that he was about to help her to the throne, he felt incredibly emotional.

As for Yu'er and Luo'er, they were still five-years-old and were far from growing up.

When Wufu heard that, he smiled and said, ”Your majesty is at your liveliest and strongest time.” They were used to such words.

Even Bai Hua and the others did not think anything of that.

Time had still drawn an invisible line between them, defining their relationship.

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and asked seemingly casually, ”In the 6th month, I'll lead a team to explore Planet Hope. What plans do you all have?”

Quiet.

Total silence.

At that moment, it was like the air had frozen, making it difficult for one to breathe.

Beneath the emperor's calm voice was an irresistible strength. Even the five of them who possessed such high positions could not help but shiver as they tried to understand the deep meaning within those words.

This was a choice but more so a life or death question.

Many historical examples appeared like lightning in their brains.

Their suspicions were not surprising. Before the court assembly, there were rumors that the emperor was going to clean things to send the Chu Queen up to the throne.

Weren't the five of them the biggest obstacles?

Some of them were unafraid like Bai Hua, who directly replied, ”I also want to go.” Her expression was confident, and her attitude was sincere. Obviously, these words came from her heart.

”Yes, we will follow your majesty.”

Gong Chengshi and the other expressed. They were afraid that Ouyang Shuo would misunderstand.

Ouyang Shuo smiled but his face revealed nothing as he said, ”Forget it, all of you just stay in the game world and help me defend Great Xia. Planet Hope matters temporarily do not need you.”

When they heard that, some of them sighed in relief but others were unhappy.

”I insist on going.” said Bai Hua with a stubborn expression.

Warmth appeared in Ouyang Shuo's eyes as he said patiently, ”For this trip to Planet Hope, I cannot bring too many people. Compared to Planet Hope, the game world needs you all more.”
