The Imperial Capital of the Tang Dynasty was located in a large mansion not far from the imperial palace.
"Let me tell you what happened these days." Qin Zhao will grasp the information in a timely manner no matter where he is. However, every time he came back, he would ask his butler Feng Bulie to summarize the information to avoid missing any important content.
Feng Bulie immediately and respectfully gave an overview of what happened these days, that is, a title. As long as Qin Zhao didn't express it, he immediately went to the next one.
The relationship between Qin Zhao and Emperor Tang was not as bad as the outside world said, but it was not as close as between the emperor and his chief minister.
Qin Zhao rarely met Emperor Tang.
This is not just the case now, but has gradually developed. The mainstream view in the official circles is that Qin Zhao lived longer and longer, and his cultivation became more and more unfathomable. As an ordinary person, the Tang Emperor changed his term one after another. Gradually, the newly ascended Tang Emperor did not want to see Qin Zhao very much. I don’t know how to get along with him after seeing him, so it would be better not to see him. Later, the emperors of Tang Dynasty successively stopped taking care of things, and even other ministers were rarely seen. They almost all hid and enjoyed life. Qin Zhao occasionally went to the palace to ask for an audience, but most of the time the emperor avoided seeing him, and even decreed that unless it was an important matter, the Prime Minister of Qin would not enter the palace to see the Tang Emperor.
For example, when Qin Zhao returned from the war outside, he did not enter the palace. The Tang Emperor only sent people to wait at Qin Zhao's house. As soon as Qin Zhao came back, he read out a bunch of formatted words of praise from the Tang Emperor, which was symbolic. I was rewarded with something, and this routine was completed.
"Hua Xia Envoy Group? How long have you been here?" Qin Zhao heard that Hua Xia had sent people over, so naturally he couldn't ignore it.
"They arrived just two days after your departure and have been arranging to stay at Jingxi Villa. They sent people here, but after learning that you were not around, they kept asking to see His Majesty, but His Majesty kept asking them to wait, saying that something happened I’ll just wait until you come back to talk to you.”
"Who is coming from China? Did you say the purpose of their coming this time?" Qin Zhao still attaches great importance to the relationship between Datang and China, especially under the threat of the Orc Continent, Datang needs it even more Adjust the relationship with China.
"This is the list of envoy members they submitted." Feng Bulie handed the list to Qin Zhao, "They mentioned that they came here to discuss the future cooperation between Datang and China."
Qin Zhao nodded slightly. At this point in time, Datang and Huaxia should indeed sit down and talk about cooperation.
Suddenly, Qin Zhao stared at a name on the list and frowned.
"Master...is there any problem?" Feng Bulie has been with Qin Zhao for many years. When he saw Qin Zhao's expression, he knew something must have happened.
Different people call Qin Zhao differently. Outside, Qin Zhao is generally called Qin Xiang, and in the military, he is also called Qin Shuai. They are the titles of Qin Zhao as a civil servant and military officer. If he is a teacher and student in the academy, he will be called the dean. If he is not in the court, he will be called the president. If he is an immortal cultivator, then he should be called Mr. Ge. Of course, the people of the Tang Dynasty can also call him Mr. Ge, but only people in Qin Zhao's house or his close associates will call him Master.
"Xu Qian...the deputy envoy of the Chinese Envoy, it's Xu Qian!" Qin Zhao closed his eyes and put the list on his desk.
Feng Bulie didn't know why, but he couldn't ask again, so he could only wait for Qin Zhao.
"Xu Qian had this additional identity, so his disappearance became a major diplomatic incident between Datang and China. The deputy envoy of the envoy disappeared in Datang during his visit. If this matter spread back to China, it is possible It will be used by the anti-Tang forces in China, and the original possibility of Datang and China putting aside their past grudges and working together will disappear!"
Qin Zhao's tone was serious. He knew Xu Qian's affairs best, but he never expected that at this critical moment, Xu Qian would come to him on behalf of China. At that time in Daling Gorge, Xu Qian didn't mention it at all.
Xu Qian was only meeting Qin Zhao in a private capacity at that time, and the discussion was also about private matters. As for official matters, he had not had time at all.
"Immediately notify people from China to have a meeting at the State Council Hall, now!"

The phantom of the Green Dragon Pearl in front of Xu Qian was slowly rotating. A photo in my mind gradually overlapped with the virtual shadow.
"Is this the bead that Chief Ye was talking about?" Among the several tasks that Mr. Ye gave Xu Qian, one of them was related to the Green Dragon Bead. It is said that no one knows what the use of this bead is. Who knows? I once thought that I would find the answer in Gujie Mountain.
"What is the purpose of the Green Dragon Pearl? If you don't know this, I'm afraid there will be too few clues to find it." Xu Qian touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
The voice of the Azure Dragon that shook the sky sounded again, "I don't know much. About the Azure Dragon Pearl, I only know that it is related to the reappearance of the Immortal World and the Divine Realm. After the Great Destruction Period, the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm fell apart, and the Azure Dragon Pearl can help the Divine Realm reappear. .”
"Is your mission to reappear in the divine realm?"
"No, my mission is to find the Blue Dragon Pearl."
"Is there any benefit to you from completing the mission?" Xu Qian values interests. If there is no benefit, he does not believe that this green dragon will do things honestly.
"The benefit...if the divine realm reappears, my dragon clan will no longer be bound here. From now on, the sky will be wide and the earth will be wide, allowing me to fly in the nine heavens."
I see.
Xu Qian rationalized his thoughts. The Great Destruction Period ended the era when the sky was full of immortals and gods. The immortal gods fell into a deep sleep, and the immortal realm collapsed and disappeared. However, the immortal gods who were unwilling to sleep forever also left behind backup plans, such as leaving behind awakening messengers like themselves, and others such as Qinglong. , Qinglongzhu and other means to reappear the divine realm.
"Then who erased your memory?" This is crucial, because this is probably the person or force behind Qinglong. Xu Qian wants to know who is controlling all of this.
"I don't know. There is a voice in my consciousness telling me all this. It is as innate as an inherited memory, but no one has ever appeared."
Xu Qian nodded. This situation was eighty-nine times similar to his own. After he woke up, he had no memory and was on a mission. It is estimated that he and Qinglong were both fallen from the world.
"You asked me to find the Qinglong Pearl, but there is nowhere to start in this vast world. Do you have any clues or guidance?" Xu Qian planned to squeeze out as much useful information as possible from Qinglong.
"I only have this." Qinglong threw two stones in front of Xu Qian and Qianshu. "If the Blue Dragon Pearl is near you, this stone will emit light. Other than that, I have no better way."
Xu Qian took the stone in his hand and turned it over to check. It was clearly just an ordinary stone.
"Everyone who helps you find the Blue Dragon Pearl has this stone?"
"Yes, I have many more." Suddenly at least thousands of similar stones appeared in front of Qinglong.
"By the way, you just said that you once entrusted two people to help you do this. Who were those two people?"
"I don't know their names because their names don't matter to me. A man and a woman, but many years have passed and they are dead."
Now that he's dead, it really doesn't matter anymore.
"How do we get out? If we can't get out, we can't find the Blue Dragon Pearl."
"I will send you away from the Ancient World Mountain. After you find the Green Dragon Pearl in the future, as long as you enter the Ancient World Mountain, you can come here immediately through this stone. However, the teleportation function will consume a lot of energy. This stone can only be used Two teleportation functions. I will give each of you a piece of dragon scale. Don’t worry, the dragon scale is harmless unless it is implanted in the body. You can use the dragon scale to deliver my strongest blow. Remember, you only have one chance."
Xu Qian was overjoyed. This could be regarded as the benefit of meeting Qinglong. Even if the two of them have a flying boat, they don't know how long it will take to find the exit. Now they can leave the Ancient World Mountain directly and get a dragon scale that represents the full force of the blue dragon. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!
The Great Hall of State was the place where the Tang Dynasty imperial court announced important matters to the outside world. For example, the emperor holds a media conference to announce a major decision to the world, or the ministers of the cabinet need to live broadcast a bill related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, etc. In short, it is something that needs to be made public but is not convenient for too many people to enter the palace. Things can be done in the State Council Hall.
There are also several meeting halls in the Great Hall of State, and this is the highest standard outside the palace. It is reasonable for Qin Zhao to arrange to receive the Chinese envoys here.
Wu Shiwei led the delegation and walked into the meeting hall with their heads held high. After waiting for so many days, he finally got to see Qin Zhao. Although the time was sudden, he would not care so much. As long as the talks go smoothly today, he will definitely have a prosperous official career after he returns.
