Chapter 1000 The Rulers of the Three Southern Countries

"Do you want to meet the three kings?"

Qu Yang was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Ran to make such a request.

"This matter is very important. If we don't gather the power of the Three Kingdoms, we won't be able to compete with the Sword Sect!"

Zhou Ran looked serious, and Qu Yang also knew that the situation was serious, so he could only nod reluctantly.

"I'll give it a try, but please don't raise too much hope. The royal family of the three kings has a distinguished status, and it is not easy to recruit them. Besides, the Jianzong has many eyes and ears, so they must be watching everywhere. If the king wants to leave the capital, he is afraid that he will be killed. not easy."

Even so, Zhou Ran was still quite relieved.

The Lord of Jiuqu City has some connections in the southern border, so he can rest assured that this matter will be left to him.

After the banquet, the people from the Anti-Sword Alliance stayed in the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion was large enough with many rooms for everyone to live in.

At first, Xu Lan was worried that someone in Jiuqu City would leak news about the Anti-Sword Alliance.

But after living there for a long time, the surroundings were calm.

Let alone the city lord's palace, even if you go shopping in the streets and alleys of Jiuqu City, it is very safe.

There was no spy from Jian Zong in Jiuqu City. The people of the Anti-Sword Alliance were so happy in Jiuqu City that they almost forgot about dealing with Jian Zong.

Before I knew it, January had passed.

On this day, three carriages drove into Jiuqu City. The carriages entered the city directly without passing the inspection at the city gate, and entered the city lord's palace.

Because the carriages were covered with thick black cloth, no one could see who was sitting in the carriage.

Upon seeing this, the city lord Qu Yang immediately greeted him respectfully and stepped back.

Three carriages drove from the outer courtyard of the city lord's palace into the inner courtyard and did not stop until the inner courtyard. After the people on the carriages got off, everyone wore a hat to cover their cheeks so that no one could see them. face.

"this way please!"

Qu Yang looked solemn as he led the three people and their entourage into the secret room of the city lord's palace.

In the secret room, Zhou Ran and Xu Lan had been waiting for a long time. Only then did the three of them and their entourage take off the hats on their heads, revealing their true faces.

Zhou Ran and Xu Lan immediately stood up and bowed to the three of them.

"Thank you to the three kings!" Zhou Ran said politely.

The three kings looked at each other and then sat down. However, the followers of the kings did not take their seats, but stood behind their respective kings.

Qu Yang, as the intermediary, immediately introduced: "Three kings, this is the champion of Jingguo in the Western Territory. He once saved the entire Western Territory! After coming to the Southern Territory, the champion became a thorn in the flesh of Jian Zong. Jian Zong searched for I traveled all over the Southern Territory just to find him! Looking at the entire Southern Territory, the person who can defeat the Sword Sect is none other than him, and the Anti-Sword Alliance was also formed by the Champion!"

Qu Yang kept hating Zhou Ran.

Xiang Shang, the leader of the Kingdom of Shang, looked Zhou Ran up and down: "Sure enough, heroes come from youth. The champion is so young. You can save the southern territory at your age, which shows that you are very capable. I also heard that the royal merchant Jia Gui mentioned you and said that you I once saved an entire merchant team, so this time, I believe City Lord Qu’s words, and the fate of the southern territory is all in your hands!”

However, Xu Ping, the leader of the Xu Kingdom, noticed Xu Lan beside Zhou Ran: "Xu Lan, you were born in the royal family of Xu, but you founded Xingyue Pavilion without relying on the power of the royal family. The children of the royal family of Xu followed your example, but I didn't expect that you would do the same. As a member of the Sword Alliance, you are not afraid of the power of the Sword Sect, you are good!"

Only Yang Daoming, the leader of the Ming Kingdom, remained silent and did not say a word. He also did not express the slightest opinion about handing over the important task of resisting the Sword Sect to Zhou Ran.

"The Lord of the Ming Dynasty,

Is there anything wrong with this? "

Qu Yang asked curiously. It was not easy to invite the three kings this time. They must reach a consensus. If any one of the three countries opposes, they will not be able to deal with Jian Zong.

Yang Daoming did not speak, but looked at the entourage behind him. This entourage was Hou Bufan, the general of the Ming Dynasty.

Hou Bufan said disdainfully: "Isn't this champion Hou too young? At his age, I am still practicing in seclusion. How can I have the chance to hold great power? I will leave the fate of the Three Kingdoms in the South to the hands of such a young boy. , isn’t it too childish?”

"General Hou, how can you judge a book by its appearance?"

Qu Yang quickly acted as peacemaker, but Hou Bufan refused to let him go.

"I don't judge people by their appearance. If you have any abilities, you must show them. Otherwise, you won't be convincing!"

Hou Bufan roared in the secret room.

The two kings, Xiang Shang and Xu Ping, looked at each other. The entourage they brought with them would not be so rude.

But then I thought about it, this was probably the national situation of the Ming Dynasty.

I heard a few years ago that the power of the ruler of the Ming Dynasty had long been taken away, and the power fell into the hands of the general. I originally thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true.

Facing Hou Bufan's provocation, Zhou Ran's lips curled up slightly.

"General Hou, what do you want?"

"It's very simple. If you can beat me, I will obey you!" Hou Bufan challenged Zhou Ran, "I also want to see why you can become the champion of Jingguo because you are so capable!"

Qu Yang said with a bitter look on his face, "General Hou, why are you doing this? The leaders of the Three Kingdoms came here secretly. If a fight breaks out and people outside know about it, wouldn't it ruin the overall situation?"

Hou Bufan was not willing to listen, and said: "If this guy's strength cannot convince me, Mingguo will not participate in the resistance to Jianzong!"

As a minister, he actually went through life and death and made decisions for the king.

The King of Ming turned a blind eye to such an act of usurping the throne, which shows that the King is not worth mentioning in front of the general.

Zhou Ran glanced at Hou Bufan and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Hou Bufan was excited: "As long as you agree! Where do we fight? In the yard or in the training ground in the city?"

"No need, just here."

Zhou Ran's words made everyone confused.

The space in the secret room is so small, and these two people are so strong, how could they fight here?

Zhou Ran ignored everyone's expressions and came to Hou Bufan step by step, and then gently pressed his palm against Hou Bufan's chest.

The powerful true essence was injected into Hou Bufan's body.

Hou Bufan was shocked by Zhou Ran's power before he could react.

What kind of power is this, just like a divine beast, able to devour himself.

As a general of Ming, Hou Bufan's strength has reached the fourth level of Yuhua, but such power is not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of Zhou Ran. .

Zhou Ran did not attack, but just showed his strength to Hou Bufan, and then took back his true energy.

Hou Bufan's whole body suddenly fell to the ground, his breathing was short, and he looked at Zhou Ran as if he was looking at a god.
