Chen Xing was not far away and rushed to the scene immediately after learning the news.
Also going together were five hundred Cyborg warriors. Before the monks could react, Longwei Temple was surrounded, with steel figures standing on the walls and roof.
Not to be outdone, the monks pressed their sticks forward in a fighting posture. Although there is a huge gap in numbers and combat effectiveness, they are the New Zen Sect, one of the three major religions, and are not afraid of any force in the world.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
"The Prime Minister is here to visit. It's a sin for me to miss him from afar!"
When he saw Chen Xing, he took three steps in front of him and took two steps forward, saluted and expressed his apology.
"I heard that you were hindering the Black Prison's handling of the case, so I came over to take a look." Chen Xing ignored the other party's overtures and said with a cold face and a bit of yin and yang, "I'm surprised, when did Longwei Temple The power has become so great that even the Queen’s direct troops are not looked down upon.”
"Prime Minister, you misunderstood." The host quickly explained, "We definitely support your company in handling the case, but..."
"Just what?" Chen Xing looked at the other party with an aggressive look.
"It's just that the current situation is complicated and a little different from usual..." The host carefully considered his words.
"According to human convention, everything inside the temple is a pure land."
"We adhere to the consistent purpose of New Zen Buddhism and maintain an absolutely neutral position in the internal war of mankind..."
"So I thought we should sit down and talk."
The old monk was serious and thoughtful, but Chen Xing didn't appreciate it and said coldly, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me!"
When the monks saw this, they all showed angry faces and struck the ground with their iron pestles, making a neat sound.
"Master Prime Minister, you are being a little unreasonable." The old monk's face gradually became colder. "Perhaps in front of you, I am just an old man who is half buried in the earth, but as the saying goes, you can't see a monk without looking at his face. Buddha’s face, our New Zen Sect is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.”
"Haha!" Chen Xing sneered, "You're using your new Zen sect to suppress me, right?"
"Okay, I'll talk it over with you!" Chen Xing's face hardened, and he stretched out his finger, "First!"
"here
This is the territory of the Red Kingdom. I am the Prime Minister of Ice Blue City and the holder of the Ring of the Kingdom. Logically speaking, I am the host and you are the guest. "
"If I ask you to preach, you can come; if I ask you to leave, you have to go!"
The old monk wanted to open his mouth to argue, but Chen Xing interrupted him forcefully, denying him a chance to interrupt.
"Secondly, Queen Cuillis is based in Ice Blue City. She is the orthodox royal family and the legal heir to the throne of Ambergris River. On behalf of the queen, I came to capture the traitor, but you obstructed the case. What are your intentions!"
"You can invite all the popes of the three religions here, and we can discuss them face to face and see who is being unreasonable!"
The three leaders of the three religions, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, are the great Zen master, the Taoist master and the great Confucian scholar.
"Third, I will lead three thousand elite river bird reformers. As long as I give the order, I will demolish this ruined temple of yours at any time!"
Chen Xing only brought 500 reformers, saying that 3,000 was to increase his momentum, but the other party could not verify it anyway.
"Fourth..." Chen Xing's voice softened, "If I remember correctly, your New Zen Sect seems to owe me a favor."
"If you don't believe it..." Chen Xing made a gesture of invitation, "You can confirm with your Master Yuankong."
Silver Claw's state religion is the New Zen Sect, and when Wei Haitang left, the other party clearly owed him a favor.
"This..." The host was stunned on the spot, and it took him a while to react. "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please, please wait for a moment."
The host walked aside and called the black watch communication. About ten minutes later, he walked back quickly, bowed to Chen Xing and performed the Buddha salute, "Amitabha, good, good, good."
"The words of the Prime Minister gave the old monk a sudden enlightenment."
"We were indeed presumptuous just now, please forgive me."
"Your Excellency is the host, and we are guests. Guests follow the host's will. We should never force ourselves to stand in the way of your Majesty's handling of the case."
After saying that, the old monk turned around, faced backward, and waved his hands vigorously. The monks immediately took back their iron pestles, saluted in unison, and then withdrew.
When Chen Xing saw this, he showed a gentle expression on his face and nodded to the old monk in return, "Thank you for your understanding."
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay your temple's kindness."
As the saying goes, courtesy reciprocates.
If others give you face, you should naturally give others face.
After some polite greetings, Chen Xing escorted Hongsang Princess Li Anrong away from Longwei Temple.
From the beginning of the negotiation between the two parties until leaving, Li Anrong did not say a word from the beginning to the end. She has been in the court for many years and knows that she is just a bargaining chip in the negotiations between the two parties. In the face of politics, all favors have a price. It is impossible for Xin Zenzong to fall out with Binglan Cheng over a woman. Her weight, or in other words, Hong Sang's weight is not enough.
"You are very quiet." Chen Xing glanced at Li Anrong and said lightly.
The woman in front of her looks to be in her early thirties. It cannot be said that she is still charming. She should be said to be in her prime. However, judging from the data scanned by the black watch, the woman's real age is forty-seven years old.
This is the advantage of evolvers. Under the influence of the life imprint and spiritual energy of mutated organisms, cell activity is greatly enhanced and youth period is also extended.
Li Anrong is a great elite level evolver. Under normal circumstances, her lifespan can reach 120 to 30 years, which is much longer than the eighty or ninety years of ordinary people. So even though he is forty-seven years old, he still looks like he is in his early thirties.
More advanced evolvers will have longer lifespans and longer adolescence, and even age regression will occur when they reach the king level. For example, Aaliyah was seventeen or eighteen years old when Chen Xing met her, but after being promoted to the divine realm, she looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. Her skin was fair and rosy, and she was much more childish.
"Besides being quiet, what else can I do?" Li Anrong asked in a calm tone, without the slightest hint of panic.
"You are very smart." Chen Xing commented.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Li Anrong nodded and saluted, expressed his gratitude, and then asked, "Do you want to force Hongsang to surrender by taking me back?"
"Do you think Copper Teapot will surrender for a woman?" Chen Xing asked.
"Copper Teapot" is the nickname of Marquis Eric, the leader of the Red Mulberry Principality. Because he has a long nose, a ruddy complexion, and likes to wear high-collared clothes, he looks like a copper teapot from the side.
Before Marquis Eric succeeded to the throne, he was the literature teacher of the eldest prince Zion Malan. Since this nickname was given by the eldest prince, it logically became the official title of Marquis Eric.
"No." Li Anrong shook his head and said, then spread his palms, "So what is your purpose of kidnapping me?"
