Back then, the w.a.n.g Family had placed great importance on Ah Yu coming to Jiangsai. Other than Old Madam w.a.n.g, everyone objected.
However, it was Old Madam w.a.n.g who helped her “convince” everyone and made many arrangements for her. She even taught her some useful knowledge before letting her come over.
However, in the end, Jiangsai was not under any jurisdiction. Most of the information sent back from here was fake, and many of them were from the City Lord in front of them.
Or rather, the previous City Lords.
“It’s not like Jiangsai doesn’t have an protectorate, but it’s not in Jiangsai City.” City Lord Wan was a little embarra.s.sed.
He was indeed a local snake. Since he wanted to establish a country, he naturally had many subordinates.
However, he himself did not actually have much ambition. It was just that he had been pressured back then and could only follow the prescribed order.
It was also because of this that he was very easily willing to transfer his authority to Ah Yu, who appeared in the proverbs.
If it were the previous City Lord, his first reaction would definitely not be to negotiate and defect. Instead, he would investigate the other party thoroughly and train with him for a few years before persuading the other party to rebel with him.
If the Holy Envoy was disobedient, he would be crippled and become a puppet.
This was because their ultimate goal was to establish the Jiangsai Kingdom.
City Lord Wan couldn’t care less about this. His hometown wasn’t even in Jiangsai. He wasn’t willing to stay in such a G.o.dforsaken place for the rest of his life.
Founding a country? Bah! What sense of accomplishment could he get from facing the yellow sand and rocks every day?
In such a dilapidated place, others would probably not even be bothered to come and reclaim the territory.
Of course, these words were only said in his heart. City Lord Wan had never let anyone know his true thoughts.
Shi Zhou took the initiative to step forward and say, “Let’s take things one step at a time first. First, we’ll resolve All Yu’s matter. We’ll bring her to the protectorate office to register her visit and make things official. Then, we’ll discuss whether your country can be founded.”
He said the word “founded” very easily, as if it was as simple as moving a rock.
The corners of City Lord Wan’s mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but he did not know how to say it. Therefore, the corners of his mouth twitched.
“City Lord Wan, what’s wrong?” w.a.n.g Wulang was concerned about him. “Could it be that some old illness has relapsed?”
City Lord Wan: “…No.”
He sighed. “I just want to say if you’re thinking too simply about the problem. The most important thing now is still the governance of our Jiangsai City, including how to mediate with the surrounding countries and how to set the rules in the future. We only have a rough plan, and the situation in Jiangsai has always been complicated. We have to plan ten steps ahead for every step we take.”
There was no hurry to register. In any case, the protectorate was already their puppet. They could just casually stamp a seal and it would be over. How could it delay their progress!
“Jiangsai is close to the West Wind and Great Chang. To be precise, Jiangsai City belongs to the Great Chang. The desert 30 li beyond the city is considered the West Wind Nation’s territory,” Shi Zhou said. “1 can make the decision on that area. I’ll leave it for you to establish your country. I guarantee that the West Wind Nation won’t fight with you for that territory.”
Before Chi Gou could speak, Chi Tu’s voice sounded faintly from somewhere. “The Great Chang can also agree to cede this land and let you establish a country.”
He was not sure what the royal family was thinking, but Chi Tu was very sure that as the hidden prince, Young Master would definitely fully support Miss Ah Yu’s establishment of the country.
Not to mention establishing a country, even if they had to overturn the Great Chang and kick his father down to make Miss Ah Yu the Empress, Young Master might not even blink.
The Crimson Guards were very sure of this.
“Um…” The girl who hadn’t spoken much raised her hand quietly. “i can guarantee that the surrounding eight tribes including Lone Wolf, Bo, Qi, Zhi, and the others will all give their support as well.”
When w.a.n.g Wulang saw her, he frowned. “You attempted to commit suicide by jumping into the river previously. How can you guarantee this?”
“Yes, I jumped into the river because they wanted me to go home and inherit the position of Great Chief.”
