Chapter 1566 Three-Party Deliberation
This is where the King Yao lives and has breakfast, and it is a relatively private space. He invited Bai Ziqi to have breakfast here, which shows his closeness.
The King Yao was already in the pavilion, and the two met and exchanged greetings.
The morning sun was just rising, and the light was very good in the morning. The wrinkles and yellow spots on the King Yao's face became more and more obvious. After not seeing each other for a few years, Bai Ziqi found that his eyelids drooped and his eyes were a little cloudy.
He was already a standard old man.
The two chatted for a few words, and the palace servants announced that the regent had arrived.
Qingyang came.
She stayed in the palace last night and did not go back, but Qingyang still changed her clothes. The long dress of peach pink made her look very good, which was in sharp contrast with the King Yao.
She smiled at Bai Ziqi: "Emissary Bai."
Before yesterday, it was indeed a long time since she was driven away from Beijia.
In Lingxu City, Bai Ziqi had played against her; this time they met again, their identities and status were completely different.
There were no officials present today, and Qingyang, a veteran official, certainly would not show any discomfort. But King Yao was watching with great interest.
He had to invite He Lingchuan to Tianshui City for his birthday, just to embarrass Qingyang in public; now Bai Ziqi, who was investigating the immortality medicine case, was here, and it was Bai Ziqi who personally sent Qingyang to prison, so how could King Yao not invite Qingyang to the scene?
It was a ready-made bustle, so it would be a waste not to watch it.
But Qingyang's eyes looking at King Yao were quite gentle, not only not caring, but even a little indulgent.
If He Lingchuan saw her eyes here, he would feel numb on his back, because he knew very well that Qingyang's magnanimity and forgivingness had a big premise:
Who would care about a dying person?
That was the look of a dead person.
Bai Ziqi saw it and seemed to be thinking about something.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and the meal tasted different.
The banquet last night was held in public, so it was only suitable for some polite words. Yao Wang asked about Bai Ziqi's schedule now, and then said: "I didn't expect that the Heavenly Palace paid so much attention to this so-called Jiuyou Emperor, and even asked Bai to go there in person."
These words came from the bottom of his heart. He really didn't understand why the gods looked up to such a character. In his opinion, Bai Ziqi should have another important task in the Shining Gold Plain, but he just used this excuse to perfunctorily deal with him.
Bai Ziqi heard his emotions, and did not explain, but said: "It's always better to take precautions before it happens. When I traveled in Shining Gold, I always heard civilians talking about Jiuyou Emperor with admiration, but other gods in the plains couldn't get the incense. So, what do you think of Jiuyou Emperor?"
Qingyang's eyes flickered slightly.
It was half a year ago that Bai Ziqi was ordered to investigate Jiuyou Emperor. At that time, the Nine Nether Emperor had not stirred up so much trouble, and he was just emerging, but he was remembered by the gods?
The Heavenly Palace usually does not react so quickly, not to mention that the Nine Nether Emperor appeared in the Golden Plain thousands of miles away. Ha, she knew that the Duyun Lord was not very proud of Bai Ziqi, so was this guy sent out to do this thankless job?
Yao Wang did not know Bai Ziqi as well as Qingyang, and he said as soon as he heard the voice: "What emperor? He is just a coward. If he dares to show his true identity, the iron hoofs of the Yao army will flatten his hiding place within half a month!"
He did not deny the individual combat power of the Nine Nether Emperor. After all, the Nine Nether Emperor had a record of forcibly killing Xue Zongwu in public. But the elite troops under this so-called "emperor" are nothing more than those more than a hundred cavalry, and the others are unknown miscellaneous troops and fake troops. How can they compete with the regular army of Yao?
Can scattered soldiers resist the state machine? This question itself is a joke.
Bai Ziqi said softly: "From what I have seen along the way, the Emperor Jiuyou has great ambitions in the plain. Does the king know his true intentions?"
"Every once in a while, there will always be such a fool in the Shining Gold Plain." Yao Wang didn't care, "It comes quickly and disappears quickly, like a bubble. What's the point of investigating his intentions?"
No matter how the Emperor Jiuyou tosses, he will not succeed anyway.
If he fails, he is a weakling. Who would want to explore the psychology of the weak?
There are too many such people in the Shining Gold Plain. They come and go, and finally stain the land of the plain with blood.
In the past two hundred years, only Yaoguo has remained unmoved, watching the ebb and flow of the tide.
Bai Ziqi smiled: "Has there been such a person in the Shining Gold Plain before, and he has been praised everywhere?"
"Yes." Yao Wang picked up the Xiangle drink and took a sip. The Yao people would use Xiangle powder, milk and two or three kinds of herbs to cook, called "Xiangle Drink", with a silky and rich taste. It is very happy to take a sip, especially suitable for drinking in winter.
There are dozens of recipes for Xiangle Drink, each with its own flavor, and some even add a few drops of sweet wine. But King Yao actually likes the simplest one.
"It's not necessarily that they are passed down. Their reputation is not as good as that of the Nine Nether Emperor, but their popularity can surpass him. There are always such people who cross the Shining Gold Plain like a comet, and finally fail for various reasons."
"Are you talking about the ogre king Zhao Guangzhi?"
"More than that." King Yao gave an example casually, "For example, when the Xuanlu Ghost King was alive, he was also a strong man who dominated the central and western parts of the Shining Gold Plain; and the former master of Luo Shengjia who defeated him had been causing bloody storms for many years. Alas, the appearance of such people is commonplace in our Shining Gold Plain."
"Don't you think that the Nine Nether Emperor will be any different?" Bai Ziqi took a bite of ice.
This is the secret cold drink in King Yao's palace. He Lingchuan has tasted it several times when he entered the palace. The taste is very similar to the ice cream in his memory. Sweet and smooth, icy and refreshing, melts in the mouth.
It can be seen that Yao country not only has various vanilla, but also developed cream.
King Yao laughed and said, "Please give me Baidu's instructions."
He has such good patience when facing the big shots in Tiangong.
Bai Ziqi looked at Qingyang and said, "Did the Supervisor already find out about it?"
Qingyang held a spoon and gently blew the hot and cold soup while saying steadily: "The Great Emperor Jiuyou is different from all the heroes who have flashed gold before. What others want is to expand the territory, but he competes with the gods for faith!"
"Faith?" King Yao disagreed, "He is a human and can't afford the incense, so why should he have faith?"
"Human? Are you sure he is really a human?" Qingyang said without raising his head, "How can a human elicit the mark of the black dragon?"
"This does not mean that he is not a human being. Maybe he just borrowed the power of the immortal gods." King Yao raised his glass and took another sip. "There are many great demons on the Golden Gold Plains, and there are so many legends about immortals."
Hearing this, Bai Ziqi glanced at him: "Speaking of immortals, I heard that your country also had interactions with immortals in the past?"
"It's out of the question, it's out of the question!" King Yao waved his hands repeatedly, "The late king once dreamed of immortals. Dreams, after all, are not reality."
Bai Ziqi is the divine envoy of the Heavenly Palace, and King Yao doesn't want him to misunderstand.
