At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on King Qi. Many people thought that who didn't know that Zu An had offended King Qi so badly over the years? The emperor asked him to tell him that it was clear that Zu An would die without a burial place.
At the same time, the people in King Qi's party also frowned slightly, thinking that the emperor was really cunning. He clearly wanted to put his ancestors to death, but he didn't speak up and let King Qi speak. Wouldn't this mean that King Qi was allowed to offend others?
Although Zu An is an orphan, there are quite a few families he has become friends with these days, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people speaking up for Zu An just now.
In addition, his identity as the regent of the demon clan is also a problem. If the demon clan knows that it was King Qi who caused his death, Bao Buqi will blame the prince for this.
King Qi smiled slightly: "Master Zu did make a mistake, but as Master Jiang said, he also made great contributions to our human race. If he handles it casually, it will make people feel chilling. And it is better to have a human race as the regent of the demon race. Isn’t it better for the demon clan to act on their own?”
The people in the room were shocked, especially the people from King Qi's faction, who never expected that he would speak for Zu An.
They knew how much King Qi hated this ancestor.
Is it possible that the King of Qi is retreating in order to advance?
He knew that the emperor would not do what he wanted, so he deliberately said this. In fact, he was forcing the emperor to deal with the surname ancestor?
The prince is so clever.
The emperor was a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect him to say this: "According to King Qi's intention, does it mean that he should not be punished for his affair with a foreign race?"
King Qi nodded: "Not only should he not be punished, but he should also be generously rewarded. After all, he has made extraordinary contributions, and his status as regent is very beneficial to us. We can get more from the demon clan through him in the future." Interests."
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar. Because of King Qi's reputation, Pei Zheng, although he supported severely punishing Zu An, could not say anything at this time.
But the ministers of the Imperial Party did not have so many worries and started to complain one after another. One of them even sneered: "He is already the regent of the Monster Clan. King Qi, do you think he will help the Monster Clan more by then, or will he help the Monster Clan more?" Help the human race more?”
King Qi didn't take it seriously: "It's simple. Just give Lord Zu the title of king. If both sides are princes, I believe that Lord Zu is from the human race and he will definitely care about us more."
The people from King Qi's group looked at him with open mouths. They originally thought that he was just retreating in order to advance, but now it seems that he is serious.
Bi Ziang looked at Zu An even more jealously. He was already greedy for the title of earl before, and now he is even more likely to be crowned king. How old is he?
Moreover, the title of king of the opposite sex is unprecedented in all dynasties, let alone in this dynasty.
Comparing people to each other is really infuriating. For a moment, he found himself looking up to the slave he once thought he was, and his mind couldn't be calm for a long time.
Zu An was also surprised that King Qi would speak for him. At this moment, Mi Li's voice sounded in his mind: "What's so surprising? This is the way the world is. Only naive people will care about good and bad people. For everyone, For most people, they only care about whether the other person is useful or useless."
"A useful person, no matter how bad the relationship is, will be much more tolerant of him; on the contrary, no one will care about a useless person, no matter how nice and kind he is."
"This is the value of winning over. When King Qi saw your current status, he raised his evaluation in his heart and naturally treated you differently."
Zu An frowned, always feeling that what she said was too extreme, but for a while he didn't know how to refute.
At this time, Zhao Hao coughed: "What King Qi said makes some sense, but the matter of making the king is too shocking, and it needs to be discussed slowly later."
He made the decision, obviously not intending to hold Zu An accountable. The other ministers were not fools either. Although some people were a little unhappy, they would not openly disobey the emperor and King Qi.
Soon, the ministers discussed how to deal with Zu An. The merits and demerits should be balanced, and there would be no punishment or reward for the time being. At the same time, Zu An could not leave the vicinity during this period.
Zu An had a headache. He originally wanted to go to Zishan to reunite with his sisters as soon as possible, but now he can only stay here.
However, he also knew that this matter was hanging high, and it would be a good ending to let it go gently. He was even prepared to risk his life before.
After the meeting was over, he suddenly felt something in his heart when he went out. He looked in a direction to the right and saw an embroidered messenger standing there. The color pattern of his clothes was very different from the others. It was the long-lost commander Zhu. Evil heart.
"Commander, long time no see." Zu An took the initiative and walked towards him.
The other ministers glanced here, their faces full of disgust. It was obvious that Zhu Xie Chixin, the disaster star, could not be avoided by everyone.
This is what the two of them want, and they are not afraid of their chat being overheard by outsiders.
Zhu Xie hummed sincerely: "I haven't seen you for a while, but you have already made such a great success. It's really impressive."
Sensing the jealousy in the other party's tone, Zu An felt his heart move, and suddenly understood why Zhao Hao knew the identity of his regent. It was probably this guy who brought him back from the front line.
"The Commander-in-Chief said something serious. It's just a fluke. Aren't you still working under the Commander-in-Chief?" Zu An responded calmly.
Zhu Xie's Chixin eyes softened a little: "Don't be impatient and work well for the emperor. You will not be short of benefits."
Zu An secretly sneered, this guy is a PUA master like Zhao Hao, and he always talks nicely.
But he didn't show it: "Where did the commander go before? A lot of things happened in the Xiuyi system during this time."
"We're on a secret mission. You should know our rules. Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked." Zhu Xie replied coldly.
Feeling the rich, almost physical smell of blood on his body, Zu An secretly sneered, "I know what evil things you have done even if you don't tell me."
"The Grand Commander seems to have broken through the threshold of Grand Master?"
Although the other party did not show it deliberately, he could still be keenly aware of the changes in the other party's aura.
Zhu Xie was stunned, never expecting that he would see it, but his long-cherished wish finally came true, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of pride on his face: "I suddenly got an opportunity before and successfully broke through."
"Congratulations!" Zu An felt extremely cold. The so-called opportunity must have been brought about by the previous massacre of the city.
He quickly separated from the other party and returned to the team. He quietly asked Mi Li: "Master Queen, when did you wake up?"
"I can't remember clearly," Mi Li raised her lips slightly, "Some people may have woken up by hooking up with someone's master's apprentice or something like that."
Zu An: "..."
"Why do you have such a perverted peeping hobby?"
Mi Li looked cold: "What did you say?"
"It's nothing," Zu An muttered, "I just think you never slept at all."
There was no doubt that she fell into a deep sleep due to a severe injury to her vitality, but the next few times she fell asleep always felt a little strange.
"If you don't do anything wrong, what do you have to worry about whether I sleep or not?" Mi Li snorted coldly.
Zu Anxin thought, who would want everything they say and do to be exposed in the eyes of others?
At this moment, something suddenly moved in his heart, and he looked to the side and behind, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a python robe and jade belt walking towards this side.
"What advice do you have, Your Majesty?" The person who came was naturally Prince Qi, and Zu An did not expect that he would come directly to him.
"Master Zu, you are too polite. Oh no, I called you Prince Regent instead." King Qi said with a smile.
Zu An looked at him suspiciously and couldn't figure out his reaction for a while.
"Were you surprised just now?" King Qi also went straight to the point.
"It's indeed a bit surprising." Zu An smiled.
"Brother Huang seems to want to put you to death. Many of his ministers also have the same intention," King Qi sighed.
"The prince also has many men like this." Zu An looked calm.
"That's still different," King Qi shook his head, "Master Zu has been loyal to the emperor all these years, but unfortunately he ended up being a lonely minister. Master Zu is a smart man, and he should know that no one who becomes a lonely minister will be well in the end. The end."
Zu'an paused for a moment: "Your Majesty, considering some of the things that happened to us before, these don't seem to make much sense to you."
King Qi nodded: "Yes, I did hate you for ruining my good deeds before, but those things have passed. Today is different from the past. We have to look forward to everything."
"Is it because of my status as regent?" Zu An laughed at himself.
"I don't deny that there is this factor," King Qi said, "but in the final analysis, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. During this period, I watched with cold eyes. The emperor seems not to really accept you, but is preparing to treat you as an abandoned son." You should be able to feel this as well.”
"What does the prince want to say?" Zu An said in a deep voice.
"Do you still remember that we discussed cooperation before? We might as well cooperate again." King Qi did not hide his intention.
Zu An smiled: "Your Majesty, even if I agree to you, you may not believe me, and it is impossible for me to believe you. What's the point of such cooperation?"
"We did have this problem before," King Qi nodded, his expression suddenly becoming confused, "But what if we become a family?"
