"Senior Brother, I have kept you waiting for a long time!"
Outside Xingqing Hall, the palace where Emperor Qin received ministers and foreign envoys, a clear and sweet female voice came.
Qin Mingyue was dressed in a dark cyan embroidered knee-covering brocade dress with a pair of phoenix patterns embroidered on the red border. She wore a phoenix crown on her head, lightly sweeping her eyebrows, and Pingping walked in.
Yang Zhen, wearing a green Taoist robe, followed behind.
"I've met Senior Brother Hong and Senior Brother Yan." Qin Mingyue bowed and bowed. She didn't have the majesty of an emperor at all, but as a Taoist monk Yang Zhen, she looked humble and enthusiastic.
This shortened the distance between the two parties.
"I have met Your Majesty." Hong Zhengli and Yan Chengye did not dare to neglect and quickly stood up to return the courtesy.
In the world of immortality, strength is respected. If it had been before yesterday, the two of them might have acted like senior brothers in front of this woman because the other had recently been promoted to Jindan. However, yesterday, when this woman showed her powerful strength in the late stage of the Golden Core and killed the Nascent Soul Ancestor with one sword, no one dared to look down upon her anymore.
Qin Mingyue smiled brightly, took Yang Zhen's arm, and sat down at the main table.
"Your Majesty..." As soon as Hong Zhengli spoke, the queen waved her hand and said with a smile: "Brother, I heard that after the banquet last night, Zhao Shuangying went to visit your sect at your residence and stayed up all night. Gui, I wonder if this is correct?"
"That's right." Hong Zhengli replied, secretly surprised at how well-informed the other party was.
"What are you two discussing, can you tell me something about it?" Qin Mingyue looked like a girl next door, with curiosity written all over her face.
Hong Zhengli pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "Master Shuang Ying said that now that the Qin State has lost its Yuanying, and the eldest prince in charge of the country's military force has also died unexpectedly, it is the time when it is at its weakest and in chaos. He suggested that Zhao and Xu two countries join forces, and the East and West Attack from a flank and teach Qin a lesson."
Qin Mingyue's almond-shaped eyes widened, and a hint of evil flashed across her pretty face: "Since we are sending troops, we must have a name, right?"
"Just because Your Majesty killed the Supreme Emperor yesterday, it was against filial piety and treason."
"Humph," the woman snorted coldly and asked, "What's your attitude?"
Hong Zhengli glanced at Yang Zhen and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the daughter-in-law of my Yunxiao Sect and is from the same family as Xu Guoxing. How can we help outsiders and deal with our own family members?"
"Good!" Qin Mingyue was overjoyed: "Senior Brother Head, Mingyue accepted the kindness."
She stood up Yingying, walked a few steps in the hall, and stretched out a slender jade finger:
"One year! At most one year, we, Da Qin, will definitely raise an army against Daye to investigate. After Daye is destroyed, we will only have the Qiongjin Valley, and all the rest of Daye's territory will be ceded to Xu!"
That day in Yunxiao Peak, the result of her negotiation with the ancestors of Xiling was that the land of Daye would be divided into 30 and 70 points. Now, even those three points are not given up, and only the strategically important land of Qiongjin is retained.
This is a huge concession.
Hong Zhengli smiled brightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has extraordinary courage. You are not welcome if you are so stupid, haha!"
Both parties reached a new agreement and everyone was happy.
Looking at the two people talking and smiling, Yang Zhen suddenly moved.
The Qin State and the Yunxiao Sect have been enemies of each other for thousands of years. How can the hatred accumulated over the years be resolved in one day?
Now it's entirely because of him and his special identity that he can turn the hostility into friendship.
The true disciple of the Grand Ancestor of the Yunxiao Sect and the only Taoist companion of the Queen of the Qin Empire.
He is the link of mutual trust and mutual connection between the two parties.
Therefore, even for Qin Mingyue, he should stay in Yunxiao Sect.
The higher his status in Yunxiao Sect and the stronger his strength, the greater his help to Qin Mingyue.
Her position as emperor is not easy to sit in.
She had reached an agreement with Yunxiao Sect, but if she wanted to come to Zhao State, she still needed to make another negotiation.
I'm afraid this process won't be easy either.
…
Next, Hong Zhengli made it clear that his purpose was to ask Qin to hand over the two rebellious masters and apprentices Wei Biao. Qin Mingyue agreed without hesitation:
"Two senior brothers, please follow me!"
The Great Qin Palace faces south, with rolling mountains to the north. A large number of spiritual veins migrated from various parts of the Qin Kingdom are placed here, and the spiritual energy is extremely abundant.
"The two of Wei Biao were placed by my younger sister at a secret fourth-level spiritual vein a hundred miles away, and they were locked with a formation. They could only practice inside and had nowhere to go."
Qin Mingyue personally piloted a fourth-level flying boat and introduced it as he walked.
"Yesterday, my little sister asked the person who handled the matter that day. Since these two people entered the cave, they have not come out, and no one has disturbed them."
Hong Zhengli nodded slightly with approval on his face.
The land of a hundred miles is only sixty breaths for the fourth-order spaceship. Soon, a lush green mountain appeared in front of everyone.
The mountain peaks are unremarkable and unremarkable, and the aura that permeates them is not much different from the surroundings.
After the flying boat landed, Qin Mingyue took out a jade token and shook it left and right a few times. Then he saw a ripple in the void in front of him, as if an invisible light curtain was slowly opening on both sides.
Qin Mingyue walked in with her head held high.
Hong and Yan looked at each other and nodded secretly when they saw that this place was heavily guarded.
Yang Zhen followed closely behind, and after crossing the invisible door, she was immediately hit by spiritual energy, which was almost intoxicating.
What a wonderful land for spiritual practice!
A few people walked quickly along the winding bluestone road, and soon they reached the mountainside. After walking around the cliff in front, they saw a pavilion in the distance.
Qin Mingyue made a gesture to indicate that the cave was in front.
Everyone quickened their pace. After a while, Qin Mingyue took out the jade tablet again and tapped it under the stone wall opposite the pavilion. A stone cave about ten feet high slowly appeared.
The rolling and surging spiritual energy suddenly spurted out.
Yan Chengye squinted his eyes for a moment, then shook his head with a hint of disdain on his lips:
"I don't have enough stamina! Hehe, I really thought it was that easy to achieve the golden elixir, how arrogant!"
"Who's outside?" A hoarse male voice came from inside the cave.
Yang Zhen had heard this voice on the first day she entered Yunxiao Sect, and it was unforgettable.
It's Wei Biao!
"The eldest princess of Great Qin, I have something to ask you to see Hall Master Wei!" Qin Mingyue said in a loud voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, two strong gusts of wind passed by the woman, but it was Hong and Yan who rushed in first.
Immediately, a series of conversations came out.
"Headmaster Hong!" Wei Biao said in shock.
"Don't act rashly, I will spare your life!" Hong Zhengli shouted.
"Haha, I, Wei Biao, am just a chess piece after all!" Wei Biao laughed miserably.
"Yunxiao Sect, I will watch you from the sky, watching the day you perish!"
"Stop! What are you doing?" Yan Chengye screamed.
"Zhou Yuan, where is Zhou Yuan?" Hong Zhengli roared angrily.
Yang Zhen and Qin Mingyue, who stayed outside, looked at each other and felt something bad in their hearts.
When the two of them arrived, they saw Wei Biao's eyes closed, his breath gone, and he fell into Yan Chengye's arms.
"Yiyi!" Yang Zhen shouted hurriedly.
The little girl's voice came from the sea of consciousness: "What he took was metallic poison, and I can't remove it."
"Where's Zhou Yuan?"
"In this month, there is only this dead old man who took poison in the cave, and no one else."
Yiyi's words made Yang Zhen's heart sink:
Zhou Yuan, it turns out that he is not here at all!
