Chapter 39: The Emperor's Temptation

The news of Yan Wuxing's death at the southern foot of the vast mountain would be transmitted back to the ears of Long Jingming in Dragon City so quickly, unless it was someone he sent who knew the mountains well.

So, that is to say, all this was planned by Long Jingming, and the Yan family had been ordered to exterminate the family at that time, so even if Yan Wuxing returned safely, it would be a death, and it was the most reasonable for Long Jingming's temperament to use his life to blackmail the Flower God Kingdom.

My brother's death was obviously caused by Long Jingming, and he can still ask the Flower God Kingdom for an explanation so justifiably, which is really despicable and shameless!

Seeing Feng Huanling's face changing rapidly, Pei Qingban asked suspiciously: "Princess, you and General Yan Shao, are you old acquaintances?" ”

"Huh? Oh, I guess I had a one-sided relationship. "Feng Huan was summoned back to his senses in an instant.

Pei Qing, who didn't seem to doubt this explanation, showed a similar expression, but although the doubts in his heart were solved, the eyes of Princess Cheyue were a little more complicated.

However, Long Yucang didn't seem to hear the conversation between them, and his eyes were looking through the window lattice of the flower hall, looking into the unknown distance.

Since then, the envoys of the Flower God Kingdom have temporarily settled in the Cheyue Palace.

Naturally, the news was reported to Emperor Xuan in time, and the envoy team was not concealed from the attack outside Dragon City.

Three days later, the Cheyue Mansion welcomed an unexpected visitor.

"There's no need to be polite, I heard that you and the envoys of the Flower God Kingdom were injured, so I came to see in private, you don't have to make a noise, and don't tell the envoys my identity for the time being."

Long Jingming, who came in micro-clothes, wore a dark blue jade brocade robe, with an ink folding fan in his hand, and gently shook out an endless chic posture.

In a trance, Feng Huanling even thought that he had returned to many years ago and met him when he was only the fourth prince.

I only feel that the past is as clear as a dream but extremely far away, but who knows if everything now will be just another dream?

In addition to the salute, Long Yucang didn't say much, first welcomed Emperor Xuan into the main hall of the front yard and sat down, Feng Huanling was almost inseparable from him in the mansion, so he had to follow the king to accompany him.

"Before I meet the envoys, I want to hear your thoughts. These days, you have been getting along with the envoys day and night, and I think you should have understood them well, and what do you think will be their sincerity and bottom line for this negotiation? Also, do they have any intention to solve the attack outside the city? ”

Long Jingming seemed to be as leisurely as returning to his own home, and the real owner seemed a little restrained.

"The two envoys of the Flower God Kingdom are not lightly injured, so these days the ministers are busy with their healing, and have not discussed compensation and other matters with them, after all, the minister's duty is to take care of the envoys, as for how the two countries reach a consensus in the end, it is not something that Weichen can influence and delusional."

I didn't believe that Emperor Xuan wanted to listen to his own opinions, and he was obviously waiting for an opportunity to test, so Long Yucang behaved very indifferently.

"What about the princess? The envoys from the Kingdom of the Flower God should all be women, right? Maybe talk more with the princess? ”

For King Cheyue's response, Long Jingming didn't show any likes or dislikes, but just turned his eyes to look at the princess with a smile, obviously he already knew that Feng Huanling had been cured of his "dumb disease" by the medical immortals.

"Back to the saint, the courtiers and the two envoys have less time to talk about, and what they can talk about is nothing more than the thoughts of some little daughters, how dare they discuss the government and politics."

Feng Huanling always lowered her head and didn't look at Long Jingming, even if there was still Long Yucang between the two of them at the moment, she still couldn't help but be full of disgust, just afraid that she would not be able to help tearing apart his hypocritical face with her own hands.

Long Jingming saw that the caliber of the couple was surprising, and the interest in his eyes suddenly became a little stronger.

He did come mainly for temptation, and he was barely satisfied with King Cheyue's performance at present, but he looked at the fourth sister who was not only dumb in Feng Qingwan's mouth, but also timid and stupid.

Although she also made a cautious and obedient appearance, her voice was always steady and cold, if she was really cowardly and timid, how could she still remain calm at such a close distance, if she was stupid, how could she say it so appropriately?

Then Long Jingming suddenly changed his mind and asked about the assassin, and only after listening to Long Yucang's truthful response did he nod with satisfaction, and then stood up, saying that he wanted to go to see the two envoys of the Flower God Kingdom in the name of the condolence officer sent by the Holy Lord.

Pei Qing, who was invited to the flower hall, instinctively felt that this person was not unusual when she saw Long Jingming at first glance, although he claimed to be just a condolence officer sent by Emperor Xuan, she didn't believe it at all.

Sure enough, before he could say a few words of inconsequential gossip, he tested the bottom line of the negotiation conditions that the Flower God Kingdom hoped to achieve, which made her question the identity and purpose of this person more and more, so she didn't follow his way around.

"Jia Dai, the prime minister of the Flower God Kingdom, is known as the first female prime minister in the world, and the saint of the contemptible country reveres her very much, I don't know if Lord Peiqing and the female minister are familiar with each other?"

I didn't expect Long Jingming to suddenly ask about the Prime Minister of the Flower God Kingdom, Feng Huanling and Long Yucang were both slightly surprised, and then looked at Pei Qing's face and changed slightly, but it was only a moment before he said calmly: "In my Flower God Kingdom, there is no one who does not know the Prime Minister." ”

Long Jingming smiled and asked, "Oh? So, what if the saint of the country has the heart of love and talent, and he wants to exchange people for people? ”

"Swap people?" Pei Qing wrinkled his eyebrows and was dazed, and immediately understood the meaning of these words, "Could it be that Your Majesty actually wants to exchange our country's prime minister for your dead General Yan?" ”

"Yes, General Yan Shao is indeed of far-reaching significance to the future of my Shenlong Kingdom, so the Holy Lord thinks that your country can be compared with his value, and I am afraid that the only one who is known as the first female prime minister is the prime minister." Long Jingming looked at Pei Qing with a smile, and his far-reaching gaze seemed to have seen more through her.

Feng Huanling was a little frightened when he heard it on the side, he didn't expect that Emperor Xuan would be the idea of the prime minister of the Flower God Kingdom, with Yan Wudang, who had not yet become an apprentice and was still dead, to change the first female appearance who was already famous in the world, Long Jingming's abacus really hit loudly enough!

Yufu, who was guarding the side, heard that the emperor of the Divine Dragon Kingdom wanted to be the prime minister of his country, and his face became extremely ugly, and he couldn't hide his nervousness and looked at Pei Qing.

"First of all, please thank Your Majesty Emperor Xuan for your appreciation, but unfortunately the Prime Minister of the Despicable Kingdom once swore that he would not deviate from the God of Flowers in this life, otherwise there would be no place to bury him. If Your Majesty insists on compensating for the death of General Yan at her cost, I am afraid that in the end you will only get a corpse of hers. ”

Pei Qing lowered his eyes slightly, his voice was very soft and soft, but the words he said were quite shocking,

"Take a step back, if Your Majesty really wants to exchange people for people, then what kind of people will your country pay for my innocent life outside Dragon City on this trip to the Kingdom of God?"

Silently staring at Pei Qing, whose head was slightly drooping, for a long time, Long Jingming sighed lightly: "I didn't expect the first daughter of Guiyuan to be so loyal and patriotic, it is really respectable." As for the envoy's words, it is not unreasonable, if your country wants to solve the problem by exchanging people for people, the Holy Saint of the Inferior Kingdom does not mind letting Your Excellency choose a corresponding person to bring back to China. ”

Seeing that Emperor Xuan and Pei Qing had talked to this point, Feng Huanling suddenly had an idea in her heart, which repeatedly stirred in her chest, shouting for her to stop being silent and express this idea.

"The concubine is a little stupid about the two of them, but I don't know if they should talk about it, and whether the two of them are willing to listen?"

Long Jingming was the first to turn her slightly surprised gaze to Feng Huanling, as if she didn't expect her to take the initiative to speak at this time, and even more curious about what kind of foolish opinion she would propose, so she showed a slightly expectant expression.

Pei Qing glanced at Long Jingming meaningfully before saying, "Princess, please speak, today is just a casual chat with the condolence officer, and it is not a formal discussion with His Majesty Emperor Xuan." ”

At this glance alone, Long Yucang, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, felt that most of this Pei Qing had already guessed the true identity of the so-called condolence officer.

"According to the concubine's humble opinion, it is a good policy for the saint to deliberately exchange people for people, and the love of talents is especially valuable."

Because of this flattering "sycophant", Feng Huanling disgusted herself and deliberately avoided Long Jingming's gaze, in case she lost her sense of proportion because she saw her face.

"But what are we going to do with the body of the prime minister of the Flower God Kingdom? The concubine thought that it was better to persuade the saint to send a suitable candidate, so this time she went with the envoys of the Flower God Kingdom, just to learn more skills from the side of the female minister. In this way, when that person returns from school, he can take on the heavy responsibility, which not only completes the heart of the saint's love for talents, but also avoids the embarrassment of the prime minister of the flower god country. ”

As soon as Feng Huanling's clear and low voice fell, the flower hall fell silent for a while, making the birdsong outside the window extremely clear.

Long Jingming, who was accustomed to sitting proudly with his back straight, showed a little interest on his graceful face, and his tall body leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to look at Feng Huanling more carefully.

But his thick black eyes, which were as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss, shimmered with a strange brilliance that concealed their edge, releasing a silent and invisible powerful coercion.

Feng Huanling felt a huge pressure like Mount Tai was on the top, but he straightened his back more and more, and waited quietly with a deep breath.

"The princess's proposal is quite novel, and the official will convey it to the Holy Lord, but I don't know if the envoys of the Flower God Kingdom will agree to this proposal?"

It is a good idea to arrange for someone to follow the first female prime minister to experience and study, of course, in Long Jingming's opinion, the point of this proposal is that he can arrange a spy to openly monitor the daily life of the prime minister and even the empress of the Flower God Kingdom!

Pei Qing took a deep look at Princess Cheyue, and after a long silence, he said cautiously: "If His Majesty Emperor Xuan is willing to let us choose the expertise we need by ourselves and compensate our deceased envoys, we can also consider the princess's proposal in the future." ”

Long Jingmingzhan nodded, "Since this is a clever plan that the princess came up with, I wonder if the princess already has a suitable candidate in her heart?" You might as well talk about it, and when the official goes back, he can recommend it to the saint by the way. ”

Feng Huanling waited for this sentence, but he was overwhelmed with joy in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said: "The concubine thinks that the person who has gone to the Flower God Kingdom this time, if he is selected from those who already have official positions, he will inevitably have too many concerns, those who are too low will inevitably have limited qualifications, and those who are too high will inevitably be treated as protons and threaten my Shenlong Kingdom, and it is even more inappropriate for the imperial relatives and relatives." ”

Speaking of this, Feng Huanling actually showed a slightly shy look, as if she was still just a simple Miss Feng Si.

"Those who do not have an official position, their identity, qualifications, and age are limited, and the concubine's cousin is about to complete the semester in the academy but has not yet obtained fame, and he has practiced some shallow kung fu in private, so if he encounters any accidents in the Flower God Kingdom, he can at least protect himself......"
