Chapter 837: Huang Shang

Huang Shang saw Song Huizong Zhao Ji suddenly laugh, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

He did not understand why Zhao Ji would be like this upon hearing that Great Tang was withdrawing troops.

In Huang Shang's mind, he felt that if Song Huizong Zhao Ji heard that Great Tang was withdrawing troops, he should have been in a state of panic.

After all, before the Great Tang army arrived, Northern Song had reached the end of its rope; although now, with the help of the Great Tang army and those very talented Great Tang generals, the situation in Northern Song had eased.

But all this was also achieved on the premise that the Great Tang troops were within Northern Song territory.

If the Great Tang army withdrew a portion, in Huang Shang's eyes, the current excellent situation might turn bad again, or even vanish into thin air.

Huang Shang believed that recently Song Huizong Zhao Ji had also begun to pay attention to state affairs and should be able to see these things clearly.

But now, upon hearing that the Great Tang army was about to withdraw, he suddenly laughed; this truly left Huang Shang, this top powerhouse at the peak of the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm, completely baffled.

"Your Majesty, why do you laugh upon hearing that the Great Tang army is withdrawing?"

Huang Shang's brows locked tightly together; he looked at Song Huizong Zhao Ji with great confusion and asked.

Zhao Ji looked at Huang Shang's current deflated expression, and the corners of his mouth, which were already smiling, became even more radiant.

"Great Tang came to my Great Song with ulterior motives to begin with!"

"Previously, the reason I could agree to you bringing the Great Tang army in was precisely because I wanted to use Great Tang to help my Great Song resolve the predicament at that time!"

"After using Great Tang, I would sooner or later find ways to drive the Great Tang army out of my Great Song's territory!"

"Now all the situations have improved, and without me even needing to think of a way, the Great Tang army has voluntarily withdrawn from Great Song's land."

"Tell me, should I not be happy? Hmm? Huang Aiqing!"

Song Huizong Zhao Ji looked at Huang Shang, who was frozen in place as if turned to stone, and continued to speak to him in a sarcastic tone:

"What is it, Huang Aiqing? Do you think I am wrong?"

"Do you think that the Great Tang army leaving Great Song is a bad thing??"

"Do you hope that the Great Tang army will invade my Great Song's land?!"

Just as Huang Shang was still in a daze, Song Huizong Zhao Ji directly slapped three big labels onto Huang Shang.

At this moment, even though Huang Shang had the cultivation of a peak Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm powerhouse, his body could not help but sway.

Everything happening to Huang Shang now was absolutely not something that should happen to a peak Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm martial artist.

In Huang Shang's heart, he was completely riddled with holes by this Emperor of Great Song before him, Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

This was not a physical wound but a wound of the heart; it was a sharp sword forged from disappointment ruthlessly piercing through his heart!

The joy that had just appeared in Huang Shang's eyes turned entirely into disappointment.

"I should not have thought that the Emperor Majesty before me had changed."

"It seems my thoughts were too naive."

Huang Shang sighed with great loss in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Huang Shang deeply exhaled a breath of turbid air generated within his body due to his resentment.

As Huang Shang exhaled this turbid air, in an instant, it burned the floor between him and Song Huizong Zhao Ji into a chasm of fire.

This was just like the hearts of Huang Shang and Song Huizong Zhao Ji at this moment; their hearts could never return to the mutual trust of the past, but instead, a chasm appeared that could never be crossed!

Seeing the raging fire on the ground, a look of fear appeared in Song Huizong Zhao Ji's eyes, but even now, he did not soften his stance.

In Zhao Ji's heart, Huang Shang had long since become a traitor who had defected to Great Tang and betrayed Great Song, and Zhao Ji could be certain that Huang Shang would definitely not dare, nor would he truly harm him!

After Huang Shang exhaled the turbid air from his heart, his expression also became cold; at this moment, Huang Shang was just a subject striving to save his own country. ===== CHAPTER 838 =====
