Chapter 336: Great Liang’s Country Protector King, the Grade of the Cosmic Bangle (1)
Are kings so worthless?
Cao Chenyang, do you think you’re the Great Liang emperor?
Can you just say something like that?
What if someone took it seriously?
What right do you, Cao Chenyang, have to confer someone the title of a king?
It was important to know that the title of a king was important to any nation. Even the emperor of a nation couldn’t easily decide on it.
“Senior Cao, are you joking?” Zhou Shu was speechless. “Great Liang doesn’t owe me that much. Besides, Senior Cao, you—”
One could hit others but never offend them. Zhou Shu wasn’t stupid enough to say that he wasn’t qualified in front of others.
But everyone understood what he was trying to say.
That’s right. Although Cao Chenyang was the younger brother of the current Great Liang emperor, he was only a prince of Great Liang. What right did he have to confer the title of a king on others?
Behind the crowd, Han Dazhi also deeply agreed. He didn’t know what was wrong with the prince.
“King Zhou, you still don’t trust me.” Cao Chenyang smiled bitterly.
“It’s not a matter of whether I trust you, Senior Cao.” Zhou Shu smiled bitterly. “Alright, let’s not joke anymore—”
“I’m not joking!” Cao Chenyang said seriously. He reached into his pocket and took out a scroll.
“This is the imperial edict of Great Liang, stamped with a seal!”
Cao Chenyang said in a deep voice, “The emperor said that I, Cao Chenyang, can do anything I want with this blank imperial edict!”
In order to prevent Cao Chenyang from fighting for the throne and causing internal strife in the imperial family, the Great Liang emperor had given Cao Chenyang a blank imperial edict.
This was also the reason why Cao Chenyang was so confident.
Once he wrote on the imperial edict, the current emperor of Great Liang had to acknowledge it no matter what!
Moreover, even without this blank imperial edict, Cao Chenyang was still confident.
His relationship with the current Great Liang emperor Liang was genuine.
If he made a request to the Great Liang emperor, the emperor wouldn’t disagree. Moreover, this would be beneficial to Great Liang.
Everyone’s eyes fell on the scroll in Cao Chenyang’s hand, and a thought arose in their hearts.
Cao Chenyang, are you serious?
Everyone’s gazes seemed to be drawn to Zhou Shu.
Great Xia’s King of the South, Great Qin’s Side-by-side King…
Another one now?
Great Liang…
“I’d rather not.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I didn’t do anything for Great Liang…”
At this moment, the difference in boldness was apparent.
Cao Chenyang was indeed bold. He was also learning from Great Qin’s emperor.
However, his domineeringness was too different.
Back then, the Great Qin emperor hadn’t asked Zhou Shu for his opinion.
He said, “Conferring the title of the king is my authority. Whether you accept it or not has nothing to do with me…”
And then—
Even though Zhou Shu didn’t accept it, the name of Great Qin’s Side-by-side King had already spread throughout the world.
What about Cao Chenyang?
Did he have to discuss this with Zhou Shu?
If Zhou Shu didn’t accept it, he wouldn’t make him a king?
“King Zhou, you saved me and protected the remaining Great Liang army,” Cao Chenyang said anxiously. “I’m not bragging, but my life is extremely important to Great Liang. King Zhou, you’re saving Great Liang from a storm.”
Zhou Shu’s face darkened.?Isn’t this too far-fetched?
Just for this matter, he’s going to confer me a king?
Aren’t the people from Great Liang too hasty?
Cao Chenyang is just a prince. So what if I saved him?
Not to mention saving him, even if I save the Great Liang emperor, it’s not worthy of the title of a king.
As for protecting Han Dazhi and the dozen or so people, it’s even less worth mentioning.
No wonder Great Liang is so weak. Is their imperial family so muddle-headed? How could Great Liang not be weak?
Zhou Shu didn’t know that being conferred the title of a king of Great Liang wasn’t weak at all.
Since the founding of Great Liang, the number of people with different surnames who became a king could be counted on one hand.
For now, there were no kings in Great Liang who had a different surname!
Without great military merit, it was impossible to be crowned as a king in any nation.
Cao Chenyang wasn’t stupid at all. His decision wasn’t made rashly.
Great Liang was already the weakest among the Ten Nations. Now that the Great Liang army that participated in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament had almost been completely wiped out, it was not an exaggeration to say that Great Liang would be in a precarious situation in the future.
In fact, Great Liang was even in danger of being destroyed.
If Zhou Shu became a king of Great Liang, then anyone who wanted to threaten Great Liang would first have to consider the number one martial artist in the world!
Wasn’t it worth it to use the position of a king as an amulet for Great Liang or even a big tree for protection?
Cao Chenyang thought for a long time before figuring this out.
He couldn’t help but admire the Great Qin emperor!
According to Han Dazhi, Zhou Shu hadn’t displayed such strength back then. Moreover, Great Qin was different from Great Liang. Their strength was number one among the Ten Nations.
Under such circumstances, the Great Qin emperor had conferred Zhou Shu as a king just like that. He didn’t care how others viewed Great Qin. No wonder Great Qin was the strongest country in the Ten Nations.
Great Liang was far inferior.
“Senior Cao, I really don’t deserve it. Forget it.”
Cao Chenyang heard Zhou Shu say this and saw him turn around to leave.
