Qian'er sent the Insect Lord back and then returned to his territory.
He had promised his pets a few days of fun, and now was the perfect time to relax.
Qian'er's heart was filled with joy after witnessing everyone's magnificent attacks.
"Ah, that's great!"
Qian'er lay on the sofa, feeling incredibly comfortable, while the Bloodfiend Shura next to him had already started playing a game, with sounds constantly coming from the phone.
"Play with me."
The Bloodfiend Shura suddenly blurted out this sentence for some unknown reason.
Qian'er was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't find it difficult. He took out his phone and started whispering to the Bloodfiend Shura while staring at the screen.
"Click on that, download it, and it'll be ready in a moment."
"Yes, it's this game..."
After pulling Qian'er into his own game, the Bloodfiend Shura was obviously very happy and played even harder.
However, this happy time didn't last long. Soon, news came from outside that General Zhang wished to see him.
"General Zhang?"
Qian'er narrowed his eyes and thought about it. The butler beside him said, "It's that General Zhang Wu, with a square face and a very burly figure."
After he said that, Qian'er had a slight impression.
"Zhang Wu, he's even more important than the other officials."
The butler looked at Qian'er meaningfully. He collected information from the court every day, so he naturally knew something about this favorite of the Emperor.
Qian'er thought for a moment, had a general idea in his mind, nodded, and walked out.
No matter what dignitaries or nobles came to New City, they had to stop outside the Second Ring Road unless they had a confidant of Qian'er's from the First Ring Road to meet them, otherwise, they would be stopped outside.
This rule was not added by Qian'er himself, but rather because all the major political parties who came to offer gifts were stopped at the Second Ring Road.
They were only allowed to pass after receiving Qian'er's notification. Even so, they didn't dare to have any temper, and from then on, there was a saying that even the Heavenly King had to stop at the Second Ring Road.
Qian'er quickly met General Zhang Wu, who was indeed the strong man he had in mind.
"Long time no see, General Zhang."
Qian'er stretched out his hand with a smile and shook hands with Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wu didn't show any displeasure at being stopped. He also smiled and walked side by side with Qian'er towards the inner reception room.
"What has the Town King been busy with recently?"
Zhang Wu's attitude towards Qian'er could be said to be very polite.
"I haven't been busy with anything, just messing around. My pet and I are playing games together."
Zhang Wu chuckled, obviously thinking that Qian'er was talking nonsense, "The Town King is truly humorous."
Qian'er didn't explain, poured tea for Zhang Wu, and went straight to the point.
"General, you must not be here to talk about this, right?"
Zhang Wu was obviously surprised that Qian'er was so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment, then said, "The Emperor wants to start a war."
"Start a war?"
Qian'er narrowed his eyes.
He didn't know the situation in the court in detail, but at least he knew that recently, there had been a lot of debate about whether to solve the myriad races in one go or to starve those alien races to death.
This matter had not been finalized, but Zhang Wu's special status made Qian'er aware of a strange aura.
"What about Old Man Ning? Did he agree to start a war?"
Zhang Wu smiled, "Some things, I can only tell you in this room, Town King. Once you walk out of this room, everything I say will disappear with the wind."
"Even if you mention it to me later, I will vehemently deny it."
Qian'er looked at Zhang Wu in surprise.
"The Emperor wants to accelerate unification, and Old Man Ning is in the way."
Qian'er nodded expressionlessly.
Now it was Zhang Wu's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect Qian'er's reaction to be so calm. After a pause, he continued.
"Ning Tianman is a little unclear about his identity. He even used a self-inflicted injury in court to force the Emperor. He touched something he shouldn't have touched."
"To put it bluntly, no matter how favored a minister is, he is still a minister. He can offer advice to the Emperor, but he must never force the Emperor and must not use any means to coerce the Emperor. Ning Tianman has crossed the line."
"The more he does this, the less likely the Emperor is to follow his wishes. In fact, everyone knows what he's thinking, so the Emperor asked me to find you, Town King."
Zhang Wu looked at Qian'er with a smile.
"The Emperor said that you are different from Ning Tianman. We have an alliance relationship with you."
"And I think you probably don't like the political struggles in the court. As long as you speak up, we will try our best to satisfy any request. This request can be owed first, and you can ask us for it at any time."
"Tell me specifically, what do you want me to do?"
Qian'er frowned. Zhang Wu's words just now contained a lot of information.
The Emperor is unhappy with Ning Tianman. Doesn't that mean the Ning faction is going to lose power?
Also, if the Emperor wanted to unify from the beginning, has he already planned to exclude these guys who have gained political status through foreign wars?
If there are no wars and diplomacy, then the Ning faction will definitely not be able to compete with other factions.
"It's very simple."
Zhang Wu smiled and gestured with his right hand in the air, "You lead the war."
"The truly important thing is not Ning Tianman. Their combat power is very limited. It is also impossible to deal with demigods with them. The truly important thing is you, Town King."
"If you don't participate in the war, then even if we win, we will pay some price, and there is even a possibility of losing. In addition, the Ning faction will definitely participate in the war at that time."
Speaking of this, Zhang Wu's face showed a meaningful smile, "If Ning Tianman dares to play a self-inflicted injury under the eyes of the officials to force the Emperor, then the Emperor has a hundred ways to force their Ning faction to contribute."
"Okay, I understand. I will participate in the war."
"So fast?" Zhang Wu was obviously a little caught off guard. He smiled at Qian'er and said, "You might as well chat with me for a while longer. The Emperor has an order that if there are many things you want to know, we will not hide them."
"There's nothing I want to know."
Qian'er shook his head, sincerely feeling that these political struggles were really not interesting.
How long has the Ning faction been in the limelight? It's about to lose power, and all of this is just because an opinion disagrees with the Emperor.
As for the secrets of the Empire, to be honest, he can now see the rules of the world at a glance, so he doesn't need others to tell him.
As long as he wants to know, he will naturally figure it all out.
Seeing that Qian'er was so decisive, General Zhang Wu didn't say anything more. He nodded, confirmed some details with Qian'er, and took his leave, showing great respect to Qian'er throughout the entire process.
After all, even the Emperor had to please this heteronomous king.
