Dayan had just become independent and did not yet have strict discipline and hierarchies. In addition, Zhao Changying, as a rough man, had always been informal and liked to call his subordinates brothers.
Therefore, Dayan's court is currently a grass-roots team composed of a group of rebels.
As soon as the Daqi envoy finished speaking, the ministers in the hall looked around and whispered. After all, most of them didn't know that Gu Xu had fled into Dayan territory.
"Quiet." Zhao Changying raised his hand and said in a loud voice.
Then he looked at the two envoys: "You continue."
Zhu Qiuyi took a step forward and followed the lines given to her by Princess Zhaoning, claiming that Dayan and Daqi had always been a unit with a common destiny. Their blood was thicker than water and inseparable. The current conflict was just because of a little bit. Just a misunderstanding.
The traitor named Gu Xu is the public enemy of the human race who colludes with ghosts and monsters to kill people, and is the real scourge of the wilderness. If he is not arrested as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous.
The imperial court of Da Qi hopes that King Yan can put aside his grudges, put the justice of the human race first, and work together to bring the evil thief Gu Xu to justice.
Da Qi is also willing to promise that if King Yan is willing to agree to this request, then in the next few years, the two sides will coexist peacefully, non-aggression, and even trade cultivation resources.
After hearing Zhu Qiuyi's words, the officials of Dayan once again started to discuss.
It has to be said that for many Yan people, especially the pro-Qi faction, these conditions given by the Qi court undoubtedly touched their heartstrings.
They want peace, not war. In addition, the territory of Da Yan was relatively barren, and the rich natural resources of Da Qi Dynasty made them particularly yearn for it.
"Shut up, everyone." Zhao Changying raised his hand again and shouted sternly.
Then he looked at the two envoys in front of him and said in a cold voice: "The 'traitor' Gu Xu you call is now a guest of Dayan. He has served me and is protected by me. You regard him as a traitor and try to deal with him, but you don't take me, the King of Yan, seriously."
The two Daqi envoys obviously did not expect that Zhao Changying would behave so toughly.
Dayan's subordinates never expected that their king would protect an outsider like this.
However, Zhu Qiuyi quickly regained her composure.
She looked up at Zhao Changying and said calmly: "That guy Gu Xu is cunning and good at disguise. King Yan, please don't be deceived by his appearance. Maybe he will betray Dayan soon and cause you terrible consequences." Estimated losses.”
Zhao Changying laughed loudly: "Although I, Zhao Changying, am a rough man, I still think I have some discernment about people. I know very well what kind of person Gu Xu is.
"Please go back!
"Go back and tell your master the truth. Dayan will never betray his guests."
Zhu Qiuyi took a deep breath.
Zhao Changying's attitude was so determined. It was obviously impossible for him to hand over Gu Xu.
But the two of them had already failed in their previous mission in Jingxing. They really don't want to return without success again.
"Since King Yan is unwilling to cooperate, we have to investigate Gu Xu's whereabouts on our own."
As Zhu Qiuyi spoke, she took out a small white porcelain bottle to "reminisce". Colorful smoke emerged from the mouth of the bottle and drifted towards the door of the palace, outlining vivid scenes that had happened in the past.
"That's enough," Zhao Changying shouted sharply, "You are investigating my guests on my territory and stealing Dayan's secrets without asking me, the King of Yan, if I agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Qiuyi and Que Juchang were instantly imprisoned in place by an invisible force, unable to move.
Their true energy was also blocked by Zhao Changying at this moment.
Zhu Qiuyi frowned.
She found that not only was she unable to perform any moves including the magical power "Chasing the Wind" at this time, but her connection with her natal magic weapon was also cut off.
The powerful "True King" is so terrifying!
A sixth-level monk like Zhu Qiuyi, who is responsible for his own performance, is nothing more than an ant at his mercy.
"The two armies are fighting and the envoy will not be killed." At this critical moment, Zhu Qiuyi still spoke in a calm tone, "King Yan, if the two of us die here, then you will definitely face the wrath of Da Qi."
"Hahahaha Da Qi's anger," Zhao Changying looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world, "My wife was also the imperial wife conferred by the Da Qi court. She died in Luojing City for no apparent reason. Did Da Qi show this so-called anger?"
Then he changed the topic: "However, I don't plan to kill you today. I still need you to go back to Luojing and bring my words to your princess exactly as they are.
"It's just that you have to pay a small price for your actions today."
It was too late, but it was soon, Zhu Qiuyi and Que Juchang suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and their vision became distorted, as if they had fallen into a whirlpool in the deep sea, or stepped into another strange world.
When everything returned to normal, the two found that all the true energy in their bodies had disappeared, and their meridians were empty.
Zhao Changying actually used a miraculous way to silently erase their cultivation, turning them into powerless mortals.
"You actually-"
Que Juchang was shocked and angry, but he was afraid of King Yan's power and had to hold back what he was about to say.
Zhu Qiuyi is more than satisfied.
If she guessed correctly, at that moment, Zhao Changying launched his "Dao Principles Domain" and modified the rules in the domain, turning the two of them into mortals from the level of laws.
Such a method can only be cracked by the True Lord himself and monks who are above him.
If nothing else happens, she will never have the possibility of stepping into the extraordinary in her life.
Unknowingly, the words Princess Zhaoning once said to her echoed in her mind again -
"There is internal discord in Da Yan. Many people are afraid of Da Qi's power. They want to maintain peace and are unwilling to go to war with Da Qi."
"Zhao Changying must have been seriously injured. He has been very weak recently and rarely sees people in public."
"Gu Xu is not related to them. They should be happy to agree to our conditions."
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiuyi sighed softly.
She felt that she had to return to Luojing City to tell Her Royal Highness that there might be something wrong with her intelligence source.
…………
"Gu Xiaoyou, this is the sincerity given to you by Dayan." After the Daqi envoys left, Zhao Changying's eyes fell on Gu Xu in the crowd, with a faint smile on his face, "Come out quickly and follow me. Let’s meet everyone!”
Everyone in the court also turned their heads and looked in the direction of Gu Xu.
Gu Xu took a deep breath.
He had expected that Zhao Changying would protect him in front of the Daqi envoys. But he never thought that Zhao Changying would directly destroy the cultivation of two Daqi envoys in front of him.
He pondered for two seconds, reached out and took off his mask, then walked out of the team and came to the center of the hall.
With his mental perception ability far beyond that of ordinary people, he could clearly hear the secret discussions about him by everyone present.
"It turns out he is Gu Xu, he looks quite handsome."
"Just a pretty boy. I really don't know why Zhao Changying would risk angering Da Qi to protect him."
"I heard that he is not yet twenty years old this year. At his age, he can possess the fourth level of cultivation, which is enough to be called a genius among geniuses. Even Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is known as the 'Reincarnation of the Saint', cannot compare he."
"He is a more powerful being than the reincarnation of the saint. Have you heard what happened a few days ago? In the Fire Temple, he caused an amazing phenomenon of thousands of fires worshiping. Lord Chongli regarded him as a great fire The incarnation of God in the human world, worshiping him and swearing allegiance to him.
"Maybe it's because of this that the king values him so much."
"The God of Fire is the ancestor of Dayan. How can the incarnation of the God of Fire be an outsider?"
"..."
Zhao Changying shouted "Quiet" again, interrupting everyone's whispers.
Then he stood up from his seat, walked down the steps, walked to Gu Xu, grabbed one of his hands, and introduced to everyone: "He is Gu Xu, the most dazzling and proud man among the young generation of Da Qi Dynasty. , once solved the case of the Lu family's haunted house in Qingzhou, once confronted the "fierce god" level ghosts on the top of Yishan Mountain, and saved thousands of people from danger.
"He also won the first place in the 'Luoshui Conference'. At a young age, he had a master-level attainment in the way of talismans and seal scripts, and invented the 'Fire Character', which benefited all people in the world.
“In addition, he has also won the favor of the great God of Fire and has a deep understanding of the rules of fire.
"However, a young genius like this, who served Da Qi loyally, was forced to flee from Luojing City and come to our Dayan because of the king's distrust.
"I, Zhao Changying, am just a vulgar warrior. I have never had any great skills. My achievements on the battlefield in the past were all due to the help of everyone present.
"However, for outstanding talents, I will never be like Emperor Da Qi Tianxing, who not only harbors suspicions, but also accuses him of 'unfounded' charges, forcing him to die.
"I will definitely spit on you and hold my hair, and treat you with sincerity.
"Luo Chuan, the head of Daqi's Exorcist Department, once hinted to me that Gu Xu's future achievements will be above those of saints, and he may even become stronger than me.
"Since such a young and talented man thinks highly of me and is willing to come to Dayan, then I have to gain his trust and not do anything to disgrace him.
"From today on, he is my guest at Dayan. Everyone present must treat him with the courtesy of a national scholar and must not show any disrespect to him."
Gu Xu stood nearby, listening to Zhao Changying's sincere speech.
He finally understood why Zhao Changying had such high prestige in Dayan - his eloquence and his method of winning over people's hearts were difficult for ordinary people to learn.
If Gu Xu hadn't read about five thousand years of history in his previous life, he might have grabbed Zhao Changying's hand and said with tears of gratitude: "I am wandering all over the world, and I only regret that I have not met the Ming Lord before. If King Yan does not dislike it, I would like to Use the power of dogs and horses.”
