Chapter 266 Bai Ze's Acceptance, Ping Yi's Romantic Style
Prime Minister Turtle's talk about the karma owed by people in heaven is naturally not without purpose.
He has existed since the establishment of the Dragon Clan and has been in high positions all year round. Every move he makes has its own purpose, and he is constantly pursuing the goal.
He singled out Baize for Yinglong, not because he had no choice but to know Heavenly Court's attitude, but because he wanted Yinglong to join Heavenly Court's side.
In today's heaven, apart from the five emperors, the two leading forces are Kunpeng and Bai Ze. Although Qiming and Yinglong have high positions and powerful positions, they basically do not participate in it.
Qiming did not participate because the Lei Department was too special and was an absolutely elite department in terms of strategy.
Like their controller Qi Huang, they maintain their isolated and exalted status.
Moreover, Qiming was the representative of the star god group who had followed the five emperors before the establishment of Heavenly Court and was the core force of Heavenly Court.
He has the ability and strength to ensure the interests of himself and the Star God without participating in heavenly politics.
As long as he is independent, the five emperors will not be suspicious of him, and his attitude also represents the will of the Star God.
On the other hand, Ying Long did not participate purely because he did not show any close attitude, which gave Dou Bu a certain degree of independence.
Bai Ze and Kunpeng didn't know whether this was Ying Long's attitude or whether Doubu's independence was the emperor's idea.
Therefore, they did not get involved, but they would not do anything for the benefit of Dou Bu and Ying Long.
But at the Heavenly Court Conference, the rewards given to various departments showed the attitude of the emperors. Whether the rewards were generous or not not only showed their achievements, but also represented the closeness and concern of the emperors.
Ying Long's refusal to take sides also immediately attracted the attention of Kunpeng and Bai Ze. Otherwise, the two sides would not have not even heard about such a big event.
Prime Minister Turtle realized this, so he started talking about the cause and effect of the dragon clan, and this also represented his choice.
In Prime Minister Gui's view, compared to Kunpeng, who is now the dominant family, Bai Ze, who owes the Dragon Clan Karma and fell into the trap during the struggle, is undoubtedly Ying Long's natural political ally.
The joining of Dou Bu and Ying Long will provide great help to Bai Ze, and Bai Ze will definitely not refuse.
As for Kunpeng, he possesses a Hongmeng Purple Qi and is a disciple of the Tao Ancestor. In the eyes of Prime Minister Turtle, he will eventually pursue the Tao Fruit of the Saint and give up his position in heaven.
Bai Ze was also the one who took over most of Kunpeng's political legacy after he left, and the karma he owed was the stepping stone for the Dragon Clan and Dou Bu to join him.
Yinglong's consideration for Prime Minister Gui is unknown. He is still thinking about the cause and effect owed by Duke Dong. What is the use?
The fleeting inspiration allowed him to seize this opportunity, but his low political proficiency made him unsure how to seize it.
When Guicheng saw Yinglong still thinking hard, he could only sigh helplessly and taught:
"Heaven wants to expel Penglai Island and let them leave the Eastern Continent. There are only two things they want."
"First, it's because the Eastern Continent is too important. It is the essence of the Great Desolate World and the Heavenly Court. They are worried that after the establishment of the Fairy Court, it will have an impact on the East."
"Whether this impact is good or bad, it is unacceptable to Heaven. If it has a bad impact on Heaven's taxation and management, there will be more uncontrollable factors."
"A good influence will shake the foundation of Heavenly Court's management and destroy Heavenly Court's reputation. This is undoubtedly something Heavenly Court cannot tolerate."
"Let's not talk about it from afar. If the Immortal Court gives up taxation and relies on this method to win over the various ethnic groups in the East, what do you think the various ethnic groups in the East will think, and how will the Heavenly Court respond?"
"As for the karma owed by Duke Dong, as long as there is a conflict between the Dragon Clan and the Immortal Court and he comes to drive them away, this karma can damage the opponent's reputation at that time."
"After all, now that you have joined the Heavenly Court, the cause and effect of Duke Dong will undoubtedly not be taken back, and it is impossible to use this cause and effect to make the other party voluntarily withdraw so that there will be no conflict between the two parties."
"It's better to use this useless cause and effect to attack the Immortal Court. Maybe it will allow the Heavenly Court to provide some more compensation and recover the losses."
"After all, the Dragon Clan completely hates the Immortal Court and chooses to stand on the side of the Heavenly Court without leaving any way to retreat. In this way, the Heavenly Clan will set the Dragon Clan as a model for all races in the wild."
"As long as the authority of the Four Seas is not lost, even if the Heavenly Court fails in the subsequent struggle, the Dragon Clan will just bleed out and stay dormant for a while longer."
"But if Heavenly Court continues to maintain its dominance, then the Dragon Clan will get a lot more."
After Prime Minister Gui finished speaking, he stopped talking. After bowing his hands, he slowly withdrew, leaving Yinglong enough time to digest.
Political trade-offs and bets always give a person accustomed to military thinking some time to buffer and adapt.
The Dragon Clan and Prime Minister Turtle have absolutely enough time for Yinglong to grow up until he stands tall and becomes a spiritual mountain that can help the Dragon Clan shelter from wind and rain and lead the Dragon Clan forward.
After Yinglong heard what Prime Minister Gui said, he felt a sense of enlightenment. He wanted to thank him, but found that the other party was no longer there, so he couldn't help laughing and scolding:
"This old turtle obviously has a solution in his mind, but he always keeps it secretive and makes me confused. It makes me upset and behaves badly."
At this time, Prime Minister Turtle was already in his own palace and began to write a spiritual note asking Bai Ze.
That is to say, he didn't know what Ying Long thought of him, otherwise he would have continued to tremble and pull at his beard, and at the same time hit Ying Long on the head with a strong and heavy cane, calling him rotten wood that cannot be carved.
After the elders of the Dragon Clan were dispersed, they began to order the people of the Dragon Clan to walk in Penglai in an orderly manner, causing some disputes intentionally or unintentionally.
These disputes were extremely minor, and even started with some small water tribes. Both sides suffered sometimes, but they were not noticed by the Jinxian and Daluo at all, and they only thought it was an ordinary fight and conflict.
When Bai Ze in Heaven received the inquiry from Prime Minister Gui, he felt a little irritated at first, feeling that it didn't matter whether the name of Heaven was involved in such a matter.
With the current strength of Heavenly Court, it is completely irrelevant whether all sentient beings in the wild have noticed it. After all, as long as there is a reason for this kind of thing, Heavenly Court did not personally take action anyway.
But Bai Ze immediately noticed something unusual and reacted immediately.
If Ying Long came to inquire, Bai Ze wouldn't think much about it at all and would just treat it as helping his colleagues to solve their doubts. But the person who sent the letter was Prime Minister Turtle.
The old turtle in the East China Sea is not a simple person. As the person who assisted Zulong to achieve great things, how could he not understand the reason?
"Interesting, I really thought you had given up and planned to spend the rest of your life living in the world."
"But it's right to think about it. How can someone who follows an ambitious hero like Zu Long to conquer the world be willing to accept his fate and rely on wasting time?"
"Is it just the Dragon Clan plus the Dou Clan? It's a hot potato. It's not easy to get. This old turtle is still so sophisticated, which poses a problem for me."
Bai Ze lamented that Prime Minister Turtle's post had already shown the attitude of the Dragon Clan, which was deeply tied to Dou Bu and Ying Long, and also involved the cause and effect of the year.
This made Bai Ze lose the confidence to even refuse. After all, Kunpeng was so powerful now, and if Dou Bu joined him, Bai Ze would have no choice but to be humble and small in the court.
Although Bai Ze also felt that Kunpeng would leave heaven sooner or later to pursue the position of saint, but how could anyone estimate the time involved?
Although the other party's status and rights will belong to him sooner or later, why wait if he can do it sooner?
And there are too many variables in waiting. Bai Ze calls himself a smart person, and smart people never put their hope in waiting.
"It's just as you wish. As for what you can achieve, it all depends on your means."
While Bai Ze was whispering, he kept writing in his hand and began to figure out the intentions of Qi and others, trying to guess the attitudes of several emperors.
After all, the method of doing things this time is not important to Heavenly Court, but it is an extremely rare opportunity, a rare opportunity to figure out what is better without being criticized, and there will be no consequences if you make mistakes.
These are the valuable experiences he has accumulated that can be used as a reference to make decisions when he infers changes in the situation in heaven in the future.
In Yunmengze, Qiye summoned Pingyi and waited for a group of god generals who were about to go to the west.
Looking at the people saluting in front of him, Qi stretched out a hand to lift them up, used his divine power to lift them up, and said:
"The purpose of going to the West should have been clearly explained by Emperor Xi. This time you come to see me, I won't give you any more instructions."
"I just hope that you can remain useful when the situation is critical, and don't be too eager in your actions to avoid falling into the trap of outsiders."
"The map of the Western Continent needs to be as realistic as possible, and the population and strength of each race need to be carefully examined and evaluated."
"As for the battle between the Witch Clan and the Western Creatures, you are not allowed to take part in it. You only need to provide some information to both parties."
"There is no need for you to push the intensity of the war between the two. As people of heaven, we need to maintain an appropriate neutral stance in the Western Continent."
"After all, although the Western Continent is nominally under the rule of the Heavenly Court, it can only be regarded as the place of the princes after all. In fact, it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Court except for taxes."
"Remember, when encountering trouble, you should prioritize saving yourself. If you can't help it, try not to do it."
The three generals Pingyi, Shezhe, Teng Hao and Fengzhao immediately nodded and said:
"We will definitely remember His Majesty's words, and we will be careful when going to the Western Continent to avoid conflicts with outsiders."
Qi saw that their attitude was serious and they must have listened. Then he spoke again:
"Of course, if there are unreasonable people who offend the power of Heaven, they can also be punished to make them understand that this western continent is ultimately within the jurisdiction of Heaven."
"promise."
The four people prayed in unison, and then Ping Yi retreated the three divine generals, allowing them to rest and recharge their batteries, leaving only Ping Yi alone.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what I can explain to you for leaving behind a screen?"
Pingyi was a little confused. He didn't know why Qi would stay. After all, he was just going to the Western Continent to draw a map and then provide some information about the Western Continent to the Wu clan. There was no danger.
Qi just looked at the screen quietly, and after a while he spoke:
"Your identity is different, and you will still be of great use in the future. Yun Mengze's authority will eventually be handed over to you. This time I ask you to go to the West, and all I want is experience."
"You need to be cautious when encountering problems. Don't act recklessly. If there is danger, your life is the most important. As the heir to Yun Mengze's authority, you have a great stake and cannot allow any loss."
"Otherwise, it will be too early for you to die by then. After I transcend, Yun Mengze will have no one in his consciousness to share the pressure of heaven for him, and then he will really not be able to escape the blame for his death."
"You and I are both Yun Mengze and we are brothers. Zeshui is our mother. You know your kindness and kindness. You should not be arrogant and ignore your mother."
Seeing Qi's seriousness, Pingyi's expression became solemn and he promised:
"Your Majesty's words, Pingyi must keep them in mind. When encountering difficulties, he will give priority to preserving himself and will never go into dangerous places."
Qi nodded and felt relieved, but when he saw Pingyi's current cultivation level, he couldn't help but hate the fact that iron cannot become steel:
"Also, put more thought into your cultivation. Can those goddesses really make you obsessed with them?"
"It's nothing but pleasure. Practitioners should not be controlled by desires and take care of their body and mind."
"It is not advisable to end love and love, but it is also not advisable to be wanton and unrestrained. Look at what you look like now. You are covered in makeup."
"In these Yuanhui, I once heard that besides refining golden elixirs, you were wallowing among the wine goddesses, and you even spent a lot less time on cultivation."
"Although you are innately holy, you shouldn't waste yourself like this. Otherwise, how can you hope to see the avenue and assume the important task of being the God of Water in Yunmengze."
Faced with Qi's sincere words, Pingyi's first reaction was to wonder which villain was accusing him behind his back while he wasn't paying attention.
If you let him know, you must make that person understand what will happen to the person who complained behind his back.
But seeing Qi's eyes blazing and staring at him, Pingyi could only show bitterness in the end, and promised helplessly:
"I know that in the future, Pingyi will definitely focus more on cultivation."
Immediately, Pingyi pretended not to care again and asked:
"Your Majesty, you have rarely walked in Yunmengze recently, and I often send you letters to greet you. I didn't know that I would be as indulgent as you said."
"I wonder if your Majesty can tell me who is slandering Pingyi's reputation behind his back. However, although it is an act of a villain, he is also dedicated to practicing for Pingyi."
"Your Majesty, please tell me his name. Pingyi swears that he will never be held responsible, and he will also thank him very much."
When Qi heard the words, he rolled his eyes and said:
"Don't act like a child. Your reputation is widely spread throughout Yunmengze. Do you need outsiders to complain?"
"In this Yunmengze, if you look for an ordinary farmer at random, I won't even need to inquire about it. Your romantic story will fall into my ears by itself."
"Dream of a goddess, clouds and rain in Wushan Mountain, there are so many allusions!"
When Pingyi heard Qi being so clear-cut, he didn't know how to defend himself. In the end, he could only say:
"Your Majesty, you know me. I just like to play a little bit, and I don't have any bad intentions."
"It's just that I really can't refuse the joy of fish and water. Those goddesses are also happy with it. They are in love with each other. If I refuse, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources."
Qi looked at Ping Yi's rogue appearance and didn't know how to express himself. After a moment of silence, he spoke angrily:
"Get out of my way, don't dirty my eyes here!"
Pingyi fled away, and in Qi's eyes, he didn't know which house of the goddess he ran to. (End of chapter)
