The palace hall was not at all as comfortable as the sword training ground where Qu Feng and Qu Mian were just now.
As soon as Zhou Feng entered the center of the palace, he felt a heavy pressure pressing into his heart.
This is how Qu Feng feels, and it is also his feeling, which is exactly the same as his feeling in Xianmen.
At this moment, Qu Feng and Qu Mian all knelt down and looked at the person sitting on the throne. This person was the father of the two brothers and sisters.
Even though he was terminally ill, he was still a monarch that everyone in Qu State needed to respect.
Zhou Feng followed Qu Feng's consciousness and knelt on the ground with him, but he could feel the majesty of the monarch of Qu State from a distance.
There seemed to be a magical barrier separating the monarch from everyone below.
"I wonder why my father called me and Qu Mian here this time?"
Qu Feng and Qu Mian have been away from the palace for a long time, and they just returned from studying at the Immortal Sect today.
Although the two of them had heard about the affairs of Liang and Qu, they had no way of knowing the specific details since they had been away from Qu for a long time.
"Now that you two have returned from the Immortal Sect, it's time to serve the country!"
As the king of a country, everyone present must remember every word of Qu Jue's words.
For fear that a piece of information would be forgotten due to one mistake or omission, in order to avoid punishment, the courtiers present performed their duties conscientiously and did not dare to exceed the rules in the slightest.
"What do you want my father to do? Now that I have returned from the Immortal Sect and led the army again, I will definitely be able to repel the enemy. I am willing to put on my armor and rush to the battlefield to fight the Liang Kingdom until death." .”
Zhou Feng is Qu Feng at this moment. He knows Qu Feng's ambition. Qu Feng studies the immortal magic so hard that one day he can serve his family and country.
Now, he will soon have this opportunity, how can he not be excited?
Qu Jue looked at Qu Feng's face and said, "My father is naturally very satisfied that you have such an idea. However, the reason why I have called you two here is to discuss the marriage."
After Qu Jue said this, his eyes looked at Qu Mian with meaning.
Qu Mian is so smart, of course she also realizes that if Qu State needs to reach the stage of marriage in order to be saved, then it means that Qu State's situation is really dangerous!
Qu Mian's face instantly turned pale, but she still wanted to hear her father's answer and once again confirm his true thoughts.
"Marriage? What does your father mean?"
Sure enough, what Qu Jue said next completely verified what Qu Mian was thinking, "We, Qu State and Liang State, want to make peace with each other to restore the good relationship between the two countries and stop the war."
There is nothing wrong with the first half of the sentence. After all, in history, many countries have had precedents of settling wars through peace and marriage. This is not only beneficial to the stability of the two countries, but also conducive to good relations between the two peoples.
"Qu Mian, the second prince of Liang Kingdom, I want you by name."
When Qu Feng heard this, his kneeling body quickly bounced up, which caused some turmoil in Zhou Feng's consciousness and gave him a headache.
Before Qu Mian could reply, Qu Feng said to his father Qu Jue with a dark face, "I don't agree!"
"Father, you don't know what kind of person the second prince of the Liang Kingdom is! It's been spread throughout the Liang Kingdom that this second prince married thirty women from the small country and was tricked to death by him. Now you want Qu Mian to come before you?" Go, isn’t this pushing Qu Mian into the fire pit?! Father, Qu Mian is your daughter?!”
Zhou Feng noticed that the Wentian Sword was shaking very violently, and he knew that Qu Feng was very angry at this moment.
"Our country, Qu, can protect the people of this area even without using this method, right? Father, my son is willing to lead the troops to fight and lead the soldiers and the Liang Kingdom to win this war."
It was the first time that Qu Jue saw such a big reaction from Qu Feng, but when faced with Qu Feng's request, he just shook his head.
"Now that our country, Qu, is doomed, the wizard has said that only a marriage can resolve the crisis in our country."
Zhou Feng wanted to open his mouth, but found that he was mute and couldn't say anything.
Just like Qu Feng now, he wanted to speak, but found that something seemed to be blocking his throat, making him unable to speak at all.
The ministers kneeling under his court also began to whisper, "I think that the emperor's proposal is excellent. If the princess can take on the responsibility of marriage, the crisis in our country will be solved immediately!"
This was the left prime minister with high prestige in the DPRK. As soon as he spoke, it seemed that the matter had been decided.
Except for Qu Feng who disagreed with Qu Jue's proposal, everyone else believed that Qu Mian's marriage was the right choice.
Only Qu Feng was still struggling, "Father, have you forgotten?! Three years ago, Liang Guo also said that he would make good friends with his small country's neighbors through a peace treaty. But on the second day after the peace treaty, that The neighboring country Liang was destroyed! Can’t you see that this is a trap?!”
As the leader of a country, how could he not know the current situation of the Qu State and that the marriage was not up to them to choose? How could he not know that this was a trap of the Liang State? !
But behind him are thousands of people, and the safety of all the people of Qu State. If the marriage is not delayed, the demise of Qu State will only get closer.
Seeing that Qu Jue was silent, Qu Feng continued to roar, "Father, there must be another way!"
However, how could Qu Jue's words be worth the silence of everyone.
This silent silence was like a shackle. Even if Qu Mian didn't make a sound, he felt it particularly deeply. Zhou Feng felt that the atmosphere at this moment was just like the scene when his golden elixir shattered and no one spoke for him.
Looking at the people in the court who were in such a difficult situation, Qu Mian finally spoke with a firm tone, "Father, if it is for the peace of the people of this country, I am willing to be the princess in marriage."
Qu Mian knew that as a princess, she had enjoyed glory and wealth since she was a child. Now that her family and country were in trouble, how could she not sacrifice her life for the country?
A trip to Xianmen for training also made her understand more clearly how she should choose in this matter.
"Qu Mian! Do you know what you are talking about?" After hearing Qu Mian's words, Qu Feng knew that Qu Mian was more than just agreeing.
Zhou Feng felt that the Wentian Sword Qi was about to be replenished and was about to be pulled out by Qu Feng.
However, Qu Mian reacted in time. He held down Qu Feng's right hand, shook his head at him, and used the Xian family's unique secret language to communicate to Qu Feng.
"Brother Imperial, of course I am going here this time not just for the sake of marriage. Why don't I just use the trick and take the opportunity to chop off the head of the thief second prince? This way, our country, Qu, no longer has to be intimidated by the country of Liang!"
Who is Qu Mian? He would rather die than give in. How is it possible for her to marry the dissolute second prince?
This time she agreed to everyone's request in the court to calm everyone down. What's more, she had already mastered the magic of immortality and was not a weakling.
If we can discuss a wonderful tactic with the emperor's brother, then Qu Guo will have a great chance of turning defeat into victory!
"Do you want to...?"
Qu Feng was frightened when he heard Qu Mian's description, "No, this is too dangerous. If you are not careful, your identity will be exposed!"
"Brother Emperor, this is the best way..."
After this discussion, Qu Mian decided to use the marriage issue to go deep into the enemy camp.
