Song Yu and Ren Ya were brought over and prostrated in front of Emperor Xuan, still not daring to raise their heads. King Liao and others stood on the left and right, waiting for Emperor Xuan's announcement. In fact, they didn't care about the fate of these two people. What they cared about at this time was Emperor Xuan's attitude towards Lu Ping, which they couldn't understand.
The arrest warrant was withdrawn and Fengfeng Academy was restored. If these two things are carried out, and the reason spreads, the Xuanjun Empire will definitely lose its majesty. Lu Ping really single-handedly crushed their entire nation. The Xuanjun Empire's national style has always been strong and fierce, but to suffer such humiliation, King Liao was really worried that this would shake the foundation of the Xuanjun Empire.
If Lu Ping is drawn into their influence because of this, then there will be an explanation, and a very good explanation. Emperor Xuan said that he wanted to leave the palace to meet Lu Ping in person. Everyone thought so. They felt that Emperor Xuan wanted to treat the virtuous corporal and win over Lu Ping at all costs.
But the final meeting between the two parties surprised everyone. Xuanhuang followed all the etiquette, he withdrew the wanted order as soon as he was told, and Lu Ping's request was fulfilled as soon as he was told, but what about wooing Lu Ping? He didn't even mention a single relevant word. It was as if a master had laid the groundwork for a test, and when it was time to take it down with one strike, Emperor Xuan didn't reveal even the slightest intention of taking action with this strike.
After that, he once reminded Qin Chuan that it was best not to go to Lu Ping to beg for his son's life. Thinking about it now, there was a lot of meaning in it. Xuanhuang guessed Qin Chuan's thoughts, but when he came to such a conclusion, didn't he also judge Lu Ping's thoughts?
Therefore, Emperor Xuan expected that it would be impossible to win over Lu Ping, so he simply didn't say that?
Thinking of Lu Ping's disapproval of big shots like them, Qin Chuan felt that this was very possible. But Emperor Xuan didn't even give it a try. Is it possible that he was afraid that he would not be able to win over him and would instead create a rebellious mentality in the other party? This is a bit too cautious.
Wei Pingqian, who had nothing to do during the whole process and didn't show the slightest attitude, became very serious at this time. He actually seemed a little concerned about Emperor Xuan's treatment of these two people.
"Assassin's League." Emperor Xuan recounted the origins of the two of them. The two of them bowed their heads even lower in response.
"Why do you want to do this shady job if you are so talented?" Xuanhuang said.
"Each one has his or her own reasons," Song Yu said.
"Okay, then I want you to work for me, what is the reason for this?" Xuanhuang said.
"Stay alive," Song Yu said.
"It's a very good reason, just feel free to do it." Xuanhuang said.
"What about you?" Emperor Xuan turned his head and looked at Ren Ya.
"I have already served the Xuan Army." Ren Ya said.
"If so, you shouldn't hide your strength." Xuanhuang said.
"Still struggling." Ren Ya said.
"Okay, since one of you is still struggling, it can be considered a confession." Xuanhuang said.
Both of their answers seemed to be praised by Emperor Xuan. But the two of them were still scared and did not dare to neglect at all.
"Everyone, get up." Xuanhuang said.
"Thank you Emperor Xuan." The two of them said and stood up from the ground.
"I'll give you a life." Emperor Xuan pointed at Song Yu and said, "You still want to be your killer fan. It's up to you what to do."
Song Yu was surprised.
"As for you." Emperor Xuan looked at Ren Ya, "Are you done with the struggle now?"
"The tangle is over." Ren Ya said.
"Continue to report on the work of the Privy Council." Xuanhuang said.
"Yes!" Ren Ya bowed to accept the order, straightened up and stood behind King Liao on the side. It seems like he is really a secret agent who has served the Xuanjun Empire for many years.
"That's it." Emperor Xuan stood up and left, followed closely by everyone in his entourage. In the end, only Song Yu was left on the fish market street, and he knelt in the smelly muddy water to see Emperor Xuan off.
Was he really let go like this?
He didn't understand and was a little confused. Xuanhuang's words meant that he should return to the Assassin's League, but where he should be, his heart should be with Xuanjun. But there is no way to supervise him at all. Just letting him move freely like this is too much trust, isn't it?
Is it possible that something has been done to me secretly? Song Yu was shocked and confused, but he also knew that now was not the time to stand on the street in a daze. He hurriedly contacted his subordinates and the Assassin League headquarters.
Emperor Xuan and his entourage returned to Xuanhua Palace, and everyone else dispersed. Only King Liao and the three heads of the three major families stayed, and followed Emperor Xuan to his imperial study. Emperor Xuan's expression began to gradually change when he returned to the palace. When he returned to the imperial study and sat on his Xuanlong chair, he was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping with water.
"Do you guys not understand my intention?" Emperor Xuan said. First published online
"I don't understand." King Liao said.
Emperor Xuan's eyes swept over the four people one by one, and stopped when he saw Wei Pingqian's expression.
"What does Ping Qian think of my actions?" Emperor Xuan asked by name.
"Four words, empty and conceited." Wei Pingqian said.
"Go on."
"Lu Ping, from what I can see, actually doesn't have much scheming. His actions have causes and consequences, and he is simple and straightforward. Your Majesty has already seen this. Only some people will not offend me, and I will not offend others. So your Majesty is very clear. , it is actually not difficult at all to resolve the conflict with Lu Ping." Wei Ping Qian said.
Emperor Xuan did not comment, just waiting for Wei Pingqian to continue.
"It's rare that His Majesty doesn't really want to turn the feud into friendship with Lu Ping." Wei Pingqian said.
As soon as these words came out, the other three people were surprised, but Emperor Xuan's expression remained unmoved.
"I dare to speculate like this because I, like Your Majesty, feel the pain of my skin." Wei Pingqian said.
"Well said!" Emperor Xuan stood up suddenly and stared at the four people with piercing eyes: "How can I forget Qiming's revenge? How can I not worry about the death of one hundred and forty-one country-protecting monks? ? And there are many sons and daughters who died because of this! No matter what the reason is, Lu Ping and our Xuan Army have an irreconcilable hatred and will never die! However, there are Qingfeng in the north and Queyue in the west. If this world is already our Xuan Army Our whole family, even if they risk my life today, we will definitely fight to the death with him!"
These words made King Liao and others completely understand.
Xuan Jun's national style was not lost, and Emperor Xuan was not afraid of Lu Ping's terrifying strength. He endured humiliation and compromised because the general trend of the world prevented him from continuing to wage war against Lu Ping. As the country's strongest combat power, the Protectorate had nearly half of its casualties due to Lu Ping alone. If this news were to reach Qingfeng and Queyue, they would immediately regard this as a god-sent opportunity.
Fortunately, thanks to the ban, the news was blocked to the greatest extent, and some unreliable insiders disappeared during the half-hour extension of the ban.
Fortunately, there has been civil strife in Qingfeng recently, and the largest family has defected, so there is no time for him to take care of him. Only Yue Yiguo is missing and there won't be much trouble.
This put the Xuanjun Empire in some embarrassment, but there was still room for recovery. But if the relationship with Lu Ping continues, it's hard to say where the situation will go.
Therefore, before we have a firm grasp of Lu Ping's strength, and before we have the means to deal with Lu Ping. He chose to suffer some humiliation, suspend the conflict with Lu Ping, and even agreed to Lu Ping's request to win some of his favor and lower his guard.
Then, it is a matter of long and patient waiting for the opportunity. With the power of a country, we can bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burden.
"Long live my emperor!" King Liao and the three masters said sincerely.
