Yang Zhen did not kill Qixia.
First of all, it was because of Youyou’s plea. He has always felt guilty about this girl in black, not only for forcing her to walk over Yu Ye, but also for leaving her in the Lu Kingdom and ignoring her all these years, which really treated her badly.
What's more, not long ago, Xiao Heicao flew to the rescue...
"As long as Xiaoling is safe and sound, I will definitely not take the life of your mother-in-law." Yang Zhen solemnly promised.
There is another reason. He killed Sang Hongtu yesterday, and the Nascent Soul phenomenon caused by him has aroused the attention of the ancestors of the Eastern Region. If the death of another Nascent Soul is related to him in just two days, he may have to live under the sight of Zhenzhen Jiahe for the rest of his life.
This is not a good thing.
Of course, he can't let this woman go easily, especially since the other party already knows the secret of his body space. So the temporary solution is to move Qixia into the bluestone space and imprison her.
In this world that belongs to Yiyi, even if the opponent is the ancestor of the gods, he cannot jump up and down.
The three demons Yuan Zheng, He Xi, and Lu Yong participated in the battle just now and were also at risk of exposing his secrets. Like Qixia, they were sent into space.
Along with it, there were thirteen corpses of the Demon King.
Looking at the blue sky and the green grassy land, feeling the atmosphere that was different from the outside world, Qixia's face turned gloomy. She knew very well that since she was thrown here, she would never be able to get out again.
His eyes lingered on the corpses of the demon kings for a long time, and he murmured to himself:
"It turns out that the five armies were defeated by you."
Then he let out a long sigh and whispered:
"Mr. Yang, I... I have an unkind request, please accept it."
"Tell me about it." Yang Zhen glanced at Youyou, who looked sad next to her, and did not refuse.
"Since our Lu Kingdom has been established, we will not go back to the past. Otherwise, the Lord of the Eastern Region, the first one, would not be able to agree..." Qixia said slowly:
"A country cannot be left without a master for a day. You don't need to tell me about my current situation. I know in my heart that it is impossible for you to release me as the master of this demon realm. Even if there is a soul contract, you probably won't rest assured... …”
"I want Ying'er to succeed me as the leader of the Lu Kingdom. I wonder what Mr. Yang wants? Although Ying'er is not the highest in cultivation, her superb assassination skills are the nightmare of all demon kings and are enough to scare Xiao Xiao... …”
"Ying'er has a simple heart and a pure nature, and she doesn't have the unrealistic ambitions of this palace. If she is allowed to take charge of the Lu Kingdom, your border with the Xu Kingdom will be able to live in peace in the future, and you will no longer have to worry about large-scale beast tides."
Yang Zhen frowned and said nothing.
If his initial reaction was to refuse, he hesitated when the other party mentioned the border matter.
Peace and quiet, no more beasts...
Humans are unlikely to occupy millions of mountains, at least not for hundreds of years. Even if he captures Qixia and kills all the demon kings in this place, new demon kings and new demon kings will still appear in the future and continue to rule this area.
In this case, why not send someone you trust to restrain those cruel and reckless monsters?
For Yu Gong, this can ensure that the Chongzhou area will no longer be harassed by large-scale monsters and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Personally speaking, wouldn't it be a pity to abandon such a vast area with countless natural resources and treasures?
"Youyou, what do you mean?" He looked at the girl.
"I, I..." Youyou lowered her head, sighing.
In front of him, Xiao Heicao still looked the same timid and timid look as before. Even though she is now in the realm of the Demon King, even though she has been the princess of the Lu Kingdom for more than ten years, and has taken countless lives with a black blade, she is still afraid of Yang Zhen from the bottom of her heart.
It seems that the shadow of childhood will never go away in this life...
"I listen to your Majesty." An imperceptible voice said suddenly.
"What?" Yang Zhen was startled, looking at the faintly blushing face for a long time, and asked, "Why?"
"I want to stay in Lu Kingdom, I, I like it here!" Youyou mustered up the courage, raised her head and faced Yang Zhen's scrutinizing gaze, her expression gradually becoming firmer.
Stay in Luguo, like it here...
Yang Zhen suddenly realized.
Yes, Youyou was born in the demon clan, and by nature she likes to be close to demon-dominated places like the Million Mountains. He might be able to provide her with more scarce resources, or treat her as kindly as a family member, but these are just his own self-righteous imaginations, not the other person's wishes.
Who doesn't want to have a broader world and a more free life?
"Okay!" He agreed enthusiastically.
"However," Yang Zhen said apologetically after thinking for a moment, "I must rush to Zhou State as soon as possible. If someone wants to bring Xiao Ling to justice in the next two days, I will be too late to rescue him. Your I’m afraid I won’t have time to attend the coronation ceremony.”
Youyou lowered her head and said nothing, looking a little depressed.
"Yang, Young Master Yang——" At this time, Yuan Zheng, who was thrown not far away, suddenly shouted: "Young Master Yang, don't be anxious, Zhou Guo will never deal with Her Royal Highness Princess Ling in these few days!"
"Why?" Yang Zhen was delighted.
"The Kingdom of Zhou has always regarded itself as a state of etiquette and has always followed the rules," Yuan Zheng said breathlessly: "Even if they want to execute Princess Ling, they will first send envoys to inform the Yunxiao Sect. Because, because of the explanation I gave them at the time , Princess Ling was ordered by the Yunxiao Sect to carry out the assassination..."
"Furthermore, they will also try Princess Ling. Even if it is not a public trial, they will go through such a procedure. These processes cannot be completed in a day or two."
"I also inquired that the envoy from Zhou State to Yunxiao Sect just set off this morning. Before the envoy returns, Princess Ling's matter will never be dealt with hastily..."
Yang Zhen understood: "In your opinion, I should rush back to Yunxiao Sect now to stabilize the envoy, and then plan for it slowly?"
"Congratulations, Mr. Yang." Yuan Zheng quickly agreed.
Yang Zhen thought for a while and had an idea in her mind.
…
Dusk that day
Qin State, Yujing
In a separately built teleportation hall, light flickered, and the figure of a young man gradually appeared.
Qin Zhaoyuan was stunned: "Yang... Yang Zhen? You, when did you become the envoy of the Lu Kingdom?"
Yang Zhen stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
Although the two countries of Qin and Lu have suspended war in recent years, Qin's defense against the demon clan has never relaxed. Every time an envoy is sent from the Lu Kingdom, there will be a real person from Jindan personally greeting him. He is called an escort, but in reality he is a monitor.
After Yang Zhen followed the advice of Qixia and Yuan Zheng, she immediately summoned all the nearby demon kings and held a Youyou enthronement ceremony that afternoon.
If this happened in a human country, it would never be so hasty. However, the Yao clan has no cultural heritage in the first place, so being able to hold such a ceremony seems quite formal.
There were only about twenty demon kings who came to participate in the ceremony, including six captives who had been thrown into the spirit beast bag. They also became the first batch of subordinates to swear allegiance to Youyou.
The others are some handsome men, there are as many as three or four hundred. With these monsters of different heights and shapes, the whole hall finally didn't look too empty.
The human captives served as ceremony officials, and with their cooperation, the ceremony was finally completed successfully.
During this period, Qixia showed up once and announced in public that she would concentrate on practicing in the future and pass the throne to Youyou Yunyun. None of the demons were suspicious, and they all congratulated the late emperor on his great success in Taoism, and then watched Qixia disappear into a white mist.
After Yiyi came to the throne, the first order he issued was to withdraw all the demon army on the border of Xu State, and sent envoys to negotiate with the Yunxiao Sect about the ownership of Kuangzhou and the demarcation of its territory. A demon king expressed his objection to this, and was immediately beheaded by Youyou on the spot, and his blood was sprinkled in the hall.
The demon clan has always been in awe of the strong, and Youyou's ruthless and decisive actions immediately frightened the group of demons into trembling with fear and no longer dared to say anything.
Next, Youyou announced orders such as releasing all human captives and replacing them with employment, re-dividing the spheres of influence of each demon king, etc. No one dared to object.
The whole ceremony ended in less than two hours.
Afterwards, Youyou issued a new set of customs clearance documents and sent them to the nearest teleportation array of Qin State. In this way, she finally obtained permission from there, allowing Yang Zhen to enter the country in a grand manner in the name of the envoy of Lu State.
…
A quarter of an hour later, accompanied by Qin Zhaoyuan, Yang Zhen met the Queen Mingyue whom he had been away from for a long time.
pS: I finished writing another plot. This volume is expected to have six main storylines, and this is the second.
