"Did the dragon tendons from the Baishijie Youhai Dragon King clan be sent to Tiangongyuan?" Fang Jian looked at Wang Ji and asked.
Wang Ji said: "Returning to the inspection envoy, General Chu Wu and Chu Liu have been sent to Tiangongyuan."
"Well, that's good." Fang Jian nodded, and then turned his eyes to the jade book in his hand.
After a while, Yang Xiu, the chief registrar, walked into the hall and paid homage to Fang Jian: "To report to the inspector, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, and the Sixteenth Prince of Beihai have arrived."
Fang Jian raised his head, counted with his fingers, and said immediately: "It's a bit slow."
Yang Xiu smiled faintly and said: "The Dragon King of the North Sea and the Dragon King of the West Sea had a fight in front of the Nantian Gate. It had a great impact. Thousands of immortal officials were watching before and after. The chief envoy Xuan went to Taixuan Hall to reprimand them."
Fang Jian heard this and said: "The fight in front of the Nantian Gate is a violation of the dignity of an immortal official. According to the law of heaven, you should be punished by thunder and whip ten times."
After speaking, Fang Jian said to Yang Xiu: "Invite them to Xunde Hall."
"Follow the law and decree." Yang Xiu respectfully accepted the order.
After a cup of tea, Fang Jian stood at the door of Xunde Hall and watched Yang Xiu lead Ao Run, Ao Shun, and Ao Qing up the steps of Xunde Hall.
Fang Jian immediately stepped forward to greet them, bowed his hands and said, "Come down, Fang Jian, to pay homage to the Dragon King of the West Sea and the Dragon King of the North Sea."
The Dragon King of the Four Seas is a super-grade immortal official. No matter how powerful Fang Jian is, he, a third-grade immortal official, must bow before meeting a super-grade immortal official.
However, although Fang Jian was respectful, Ao Shun and Ao Run could not stand up in front of Fang Jian.
Although the injuries on their faces had been healed by the two of them with magic power, the two dragon kings still bowed their hands in return with Fang Jian's murderous name in front of him, "I've seen the inspector."
Fang Jian turned around and held out his hand: "The two Dragon Kings and the Dragon Prince, please come into the palace to speak."
Then everyone entered the Xunde Hall, and after taking their seats, Yang Xiu personally presented spiritual tea to the two Dragon Kings and Ao Qing.
Fang Jian first served tea, and after everyone had finished drinking tea, Fang Jian took out the complaint letter from the Dragon King of the North Sea and said: "Dragon King of the North Sea, I have read the memorial of your complaint against the Dragon King of the West Sea for breach of contract and fraud, so I am issuing an edict to the two generals. Dragon King, please go to the Three Realms Inspection Department to find out the details."
After hearing Fang Jian's words, the Dragon King of the West Sea finally reacted and immediately stared at the Dragon King of the North Sea. Good guy, no wonder Master Hongqing issued an edict today to invite him to the Three Realms Inspection Department. He was still a little puzzled. It turned out that this old boy had sued him again.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of Beihai also hurriedly explained: "Master Hongqing, this is a lawsuit submitted by this king in a moment of urgency without careful consideration. I didn't expect that Master Hongqing would pay so much attention to my lawsuit despite his busy schedule. It’s really humbling.”
Having said this, the Dragon King of Beihai hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master Hongqing, I want to withdraw this lawsuit, is it possible?"
Fang Jian pressed the lawsuit paper on the case, and then said calmly: "No, since this lawsuit paper has been sent to the Three Realms Inspection Department, I can't ignore it."
Having said this, Fang Jian's eyes fell on the Dragon King of the West Sea and said: "I dare to ask the Dragon King of the West Sea, is it true that your dragon girl has made a marriage contract with the Prince of the Dragon King of the North Sea?"
"This..." The expression of the Dragon King of the West Sea changed, and then he laughed forcefully, and finally said: "Yes, my daughter was indeed betrothed to Ao Qing, the crown prince of the Dragon King of the North Sea, by me five thousand years ago."
Fang Jian frowned and asked, "Then why did you break the contract again and again? Not only did you break the contract, but you also withheld the betrothal gift from the Dragon King of Beihai?"
When the Dragon King of the West Sea heard this, his face suddenly fell, and he said: "Master Hongqing, this king...this is also out of helplessness."
"What do you say?" Fang Jian asked.
The Dragon King of the West Sea said with a bitter face: "It's not that I don't want to marry, but...it's that my daughter...she doesn't want to marry."
"Impossible!" As soon as the Dragon King of the West Sea finished speaking, Ao Qing said loudly: "Little Ying'er grew up with me, we are childhood sweethearts! How could she not want to marry me?"
The Dragon King of the West Sea gave a wry smile, looked at Ao Qing and said, "She did grow up with you, but it's not necessarily true that she was a childhood sweetheart. She has always regarded you as her brother... She... likes Xiao Jiu from the Phoenix clan."
"What? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" After hearing the words of the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Qing lost his mind. "Uncle Ao Run, you must be lying to me! You just don't want Xiao Ying'er to marry me!"
The Dragon King of the North Sea also looked shocked, but he was more sober than his irrational child.
"Impossible." Beihai Dragon King also said: "Little Nineteen of the Phoenix Clan is obviously a female. Old man, you can't find anyone even if you lie?"
"Female?" Ao Qing, who just felt horns growing out of his dragon's head, calmed down instantly and looked at the Dragon King of the West Sea with uncertainty.
The Dragon King of the West Sea gave a bitter smile and said: "Old brother, how could I lie about such a thing? The Phoenix Clan's Xiaojiu is indeed a female, but...my Xiaoqiu...she doesn't like men, she just I like women.”
Having said this, the Dragon King of the West Sea sat back on his chair and covered his face with his hands.
The entire Xunde Hall suddenly fell into deathly silence. It was not until Fang Jian coughed that everyone recovered from their shock.
Then Fang Jian said: "Dragon King of the West Sea, the imperial edict asked you to bring the Seventeenth Dragon Girl with you. Why didn't she come?"
The Dragon King of the North Sea and Ao Qing also looked over immediately. The Dragon King of the West Sea said: "Well, as early as more than 4,000 years ago, Little Seventeen followed Little Nineteen of the Phoenix Clan to live in Fengting of Yuluan Mountain..."
"Ah?" When Ao Qing heard this, he slumped down on the chair weakly. He put his hand on his forehead and looked at the ceiling of the hall with a dull look.
Now he couldn't even get angry because it was not a man who stole his childhood sweetheart, but a woman.
Xiaoying'er likes women?
Ao Qing dug up his memories of when he and Ao Ying played together, and found out that Ao Ying treated the dragon girls and maids in his Beihai Dragon Palace in a special way. In the past, he only thought it was a normal intimate relationship between girls. .
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" asked the Dragon King of the North Sea Dragon Dynasty and the West Sea.
The Dragon King of the West Sea shook his head and said: "This is a family scandal. Is it okay to tell people about it? Won't it become a joke to the entire Jambu world?"
It doesn't matter that his daughter likes women, but she has run away from home with other women for more than four thousand years. If this spreads out, where will he put his face in Xihai Dragon Palace?
"Then if that's the case, why do you still want to withhold the betrothal gift from the Dragon King of Beihai?" Fang Jian asked again.
The Dragon King of the West Sea sighed and said: "I have stored all those betrothal gifts in the treasure house. They have not been touched at all. They can be returned at any time."
Finally, the Dragon King of the West Sea explained: "The reason why I did this is to avoid making people suspicious, thinking that I broke the contract for small profits and did not want to marry my daughter..."
At this point, the situation has become very obvious. In order to protect the face and reputation of his daughter and Xihai Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of Xihai had no choice but to lose his own face.
"You're confused!" Beihai Dragon King scolded: "Why don't you come to me and tell me about this kind of thing? If you tell me clearly, will I still be entangled?"
The Dragon King of the West Sea stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the Dragon King of the North Sea, and said with a guilty look on his face: "Brother, I'm sorry, I will give you all the betrothal gifts back when you get back."
"No need, my majestic Beihai Dragon Palace is not short of that treasure. Let's settle the matter of the two children first." said the Beihai Dragon King.
"Okay." The Dragon King of the West Sea nodded.
At this time, Fang Jian said to the Dragon King of the North Sea and the Dragon King of the West Sea: "Since Ao Ying cannot marry, then Dragon King of the West Sea, you can just find another daughter to marry Ao Qing."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, Ao Qing stood up suddenly and said, "No! I will never marry anyone other than Ao Ying in this life! I will only love Xiao Ying'er for the rest of my life!"
"I think you are so idle!" Fang Jian suddenly stood up and scolded Ao Qing: "There are so many great undertakings in the Three Realms waiting for us to do, why do we have to immerse ourselves in this boring love between children? Besides this If you don't have any future, I will deprive you of your status as the Dragon Prince and let you become a Sanxian. Then I won't care what you do!"
After hearing what Fang Jian said, the Dragon King of North Sea and the Dragon King of West Sea stepped forward and said, "Master Hongqing, please calm down."
The Dragon King of Beihai even cupped his hands and said: "This kid is ignorant, please calm down Master Hongqing and don't argue with him."
Fang Jian walked down the steps and came to Ao Qing, who was holding his neck and looking stubborn, and asked, "How old are you?"
"Fourteen thousand years old." The Dragon King of the North Sea replied.
Fang Jian smiled faintly, looked at Ao Qing and said, "You are still ignorant at fourteen thousand years old. No wonder Ao Ying looks down on you."
"..." The Dragon King of the North Sea and the Dragon King of the West Sea looked at each other, while Ao Qing said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "It's not that she doesn't like me, she just likes women. At worst, I will become a woman."
"You bastard!" Beihai Dragon King immediately yelled angrily.
Fang Jian couldn't help but laugh, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, let's do this. Ao Ying is in Fengting of Yuluan Mountain, right?"
The Dragon King of the West Sea nodded and said: "Exactly."
Fang Jian looked at Ao Qing and said: "I will send someone to Yuluan Mountain to bring Ao Ying back. You two will make it clear in person. If Ao Ying likes you and is willing to marry you, then you can go back and get married. If she doesn't like you, , if I don’t want to marry you, the marriage contract between the two families will be cancelled, and you are not allowed to be entangled anymore. You can marry whomever you want when you go back, and you can become a woman if you want."
Hearing this, Ao Qing said without hesitation: "Okay, I believe Xiao Ying'er must like me!"
Fang Jian was noncommittal, then summoned the first and second day of the lunar month, issued a talisman and said: "On the first and second day of the lunar month, you two take my talisman to Fengting in Yuluan Mountain and bring Ao Ying, the Seventeenth Dragon Girl of the West Sea. Come."
"Yes." The first and second grade students bowed and bowed.
Fang Jian then ordered: "First declare the talisman to her. If she dares to resist the imperial edict, take it immediately and send her back to heaven to question her for resisting the edict."
"Follow the law!"
The first and second grade students bowed and sang, then turned and left.
The Dragon King of the West Sea, the Dragon King of the North Sea and Ao Qing were stunned when they heard Fang Jian's words. Then the three of them secretly worried about Ao Ying in their hearts.
"Daughter, you must not resist the imperial edict." The Dragon King of the West Sea said in his heart.
