Bab 244: Chapter 244: Undercurrents in Yujing City

An Jing smiled and said, "If Dongluo Pass were strong, it could better resist Houjin, and then Your Majesty could rest easy, couldn't he?"

The powerful voice behind the bead curtain spoke up again, "What you say indeed makes sense, but that is not the true reason you bring up conditions. Do not forget, Outer Heaven organized a rebel army to commit treason twenty years ago. Now that I choose to form an alliance without holding past grievances, is that not enough?"

An Jing frowned upon hearing this.

It seemed the Human Emperor had a deep prejudice against Li Fuzhou, even though Li Fuzhou had killed the Great Commander of the Xuanyi Guard, Tang Taiyuan. In light of the alliance between the Demon Sect and Yan Country, that should have been a minor issue, yet he was stubbornly refusing to let go.

Or perhaps this was just the Human Emperor deliberately making things difficult for him, using it as a bargaining chip in the negotiations with the Demon Sect.
