Chapter 712: I accidentally got on a thief ship
Gu Chen and the others didn't stay outside the palace for too long, and returned to the Demon Emperor Palace after leaving the Absolute Army garrison.
But Gu Chen and Yu Qing did not choose to go to Ling Yuan's Dongyang Palace, but returned directly to Xihe Palace.
After all, Xihe Palace is the residence arranged by the Demon Emperor for Gu Chen and others, and in the Demon Emperor's territory, it is better to act according to the arrangement of the Demon Emperor, besides, Gu Chen has now guessed that the Demon Emperor is on his side, so he will not fight against her.
When Gu Chen and Yu Qing returned to Xihe Palace, Hu Shan was chatting with Youlan, ghosts, and ghosts in the main hall.
"Sect Master Gu, you can be regarded as back, the old man has been waiting for you for a while!" Hu Shan smiled and bowed to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen arched his hand at Hu Shan and said, "I'm sorry, this seat just went out of the palace with Prince Ling Yuan, and made Prime Minister Hu Cheng wait for a long time!
"Uh......" Hu Shan glanced at Youlan and the three of them hesitantly, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Gu Chen said to Youlan, "You guys go down first!"
The three of Youlan didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that as a demon clan, they respected Sect Master Gu more, which really embarrassed the old man, the prime minister of the demon clan!" Hu Shan said to Gu Chen with a smile.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Hu Cheng don't make fun of me, how can they respect me, they are just forced to suppress me! Now they just haven't gotten rid of my 'claws', once they are free, they don't know how to scold me!"
Hu Shan shook his head and chuckled: "That's not it, the demon clan has always believed in the respect of the strong, even if they regain their freedom, they will never dare to be disrespectful to Sect Master Gu!"
Gu Chen didn't continue to dwell on this question, but asked Hu Shan, "I don't know, how is the Demon Emperor going to settle them?"
Hu Shan touched his beard and said: "The old man has already asked them about their situation, although they live in the Eternal Night Forest, but their bloodline awakening is very perfect, compared to the Netherworld Python Clan, which is native to the East China Sea, it is not bad at all, and even better in cultivation!
"So, is the Demon Emperor planning to directly incorporate them into the Nether Python Clan native to the East China Sea?" Gu Chen asked Hu Shan.
Hu Shan nodded and said, "The Netherworld Python Clan of the Eternal Night Forest and the Netherworld Python Clan of the East China Sea are originally of the same root and origin, and it is a great blessing to be separated and reunited!
Gu Chen waved his hand and said: "That's their own business, what does it have to do with me? I am only responsible for bringing them to the East China Sea, as for how to settle down, it is naturally up to you to decide! I just hope that the Demon Emperor can be satisfied with this gift!"
Hu Shan hurriedly nodded and smiled: "Hehe, satisfied, His Majesty the Demon Emperor is naturally satisfied! How can I say that they are also three powerhouses from the Holy Realm, this kind of cultivation is also a rare talent among the demon clan, although they have not undergone orthodox cultivation, but as long as they are sharpened a little, they can take on great responsibilities!"
"Well, then everyone is happy about this matter!" Gu Chen nodded and said, "Prime Minister Hu Cheng didn't come here just for them this time, right?"
"Oh, that's right!" Hu Shan reacted suddenly, and then said to Gu Chen: "The old man is mainly here this time for tomorrow's court meeting!"
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Chen asked Hu Shan.
Hu Shan looked at Gu Chen with a serious face and said, "Sect Master Gu is his own person, so the old man will say it bluntly! The old man came here this time at the behest of His Majesty!"
"Oh, what are the instructions of His Majesty the Demon Emperor?" Gu Chen asked Hu Shan curiously.
Hu Shan replied, "Your Majesty actually agrees with Sect Leader Gu's previous proposal! But I'm afraid that the other Dragon Clan people will not agree to it nine times out of ten! Therefore, Your Majesty can't express his opinion on this matter!"
Gu Chen said in his heart, sure enough!
Although he knew it in his heart, Gu Chen still pretended to be surprised and said, "Prime Minister Hu Cheng is serious about this, is the Demon Emperor really willing to let the Feng clan share power?"
Hu Shan said with a serious face: "Sect Leader Gu also said before, this is the power that the Feng clan deserves, even if it is as compensation, our entire demon clan must give them an explanation! Your Majesty has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and will never favor the Dragon Clan just because this matter involves the interests of the Dragon Clan!"
"She is really a qualified Demon Emperor!" Gu Chen said with sincere appreciation.
"That's natural!If it weren't for that, how could Lao Yu and General Niu Ting and the others follow her with all their hearts?"
"Then, what does the Demon Emperor want me to do?" Gu Chen asked Hu Shan again, he knew that Hu Shan definitely didn't come this time to make a statement to himself on behalf of the Demon Emperor, he must have something to bring to himself.
Hu Shan said to Gu Chen with a straight face: "Your Majesty means that I hope that Sect Master Gu will be able to wait and see what happens tomorrow, and don't act impulsively even if the situation is unfavorable! lest the trouble cannot be ended, and it will really be irreparable at that time! Because, Your Majesty has already sent someone to find a respected senior of the Dragon Clan, if you say that he is moved, then the matter will basically be stable! It's just that time is in a hurry, and that senior may not be able to arrive in time!"
Gu Chen suddenly realized, it turned out that the Demon Emperor asked Hu Shan to stabilize her emotions, and she was worried that she would have a conflict with the Dragon Clan tomorrow, so she specially asked Hu Shan to remind herself.
As for the dragon clan senior in Hu Shankou, Gu Chen also had a rough idea in his heart, thinking that it should be the Longqi he saw in the dragon tomb last time! And the person sent by the Demon Emperor to invite Longqi was undoubtedly Niu Ting!
In terms of generation, Long Qi is the third uncle of the Demon Emperor, and he is the tomb keeper of the Dragon Tomb, responsible for the peace of the heroic souls of the ancestors of the Dragon Clan, and must have a very high prestige among the Dragon Clan.
Gu Chen nodded and said, "Prime Minister Hu Cheng rest assured, this seat has a sense of proportion in his heart, and he will not act impulsively tomorrow!"
Hu Shan smiled and said: "That's even better! Sect Master Gu, don't worry, in this matter, the old man will definitely support it, and the old man believes that not only our fox clan, but also other demon clans will definitely support this matter! Even if it can't be determined tomorrow, if time goes by, when this matter spreads, the dragon clan will definitely not be able to suppress it, and then it can only choose to compromise! The Feng clan returns and regains the inheritance qualification for the throne of the demon emperor, this matter is basically an ironclad matter!"
Hearing Hu Shan's packing ticket, Gu Chen suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and after thinking about it carefully, Gu Chen knew that what Hu Shan said was very right! For the entire demon clan, it must be the stronger the better, the Feng clan is one of the most powerful races in the demon clan, and their return is a great joy for the demon clan! Moreover, the Feng clan is the royal family of the demon clan, even if the dragon clan has replaced it for many years, but the phoenix clan still has an extraordinary meaning in the hearts of the demons! Except for the dragon clan, as well as some races that are extremely close to the dragon clan, I'm afraid, most of the demon clans hope that the phoenix clan will return!
Hu Shan suddenly said: "By the way, the old man also made an appointment with the patriarch of the Nether Python Clan in the East China Sea today, and at the same time, he is also the commander of the Black Water Army, the garrison in the southern part of the Ancestral Demon Island! Although the Black Water Army is far inferior to the Earth Absolute Army and the Heavenly Captain Army, it is also one of the eight major legions of the Demon Clan, and its strength cannot be underestimated! Tomorrow's court meeting will also have his place! This time, Sect Leader Gu brought Youlan and the others back, making the Nether Python Clan grow in an instant, thinking that he would definitely be very grateful to Sect Leader Gu, at that time, the old man only needs a little hint, he will definitely help at tomorrow's court meeting!"
"That's very good! There is Prime Minister Lao Hu!" Gu Chen said to Hu Shan.
"This is what the old man should do!" Hu Shan waved his hand and said: "However, in order to show his sincerity, the old man still needs to hand over Youlan and the others to General Youfu, I don't know if it's possible?"
Gu Chen nodded, smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem, I'm still thinking they're in the way!"
"Hehe, in that case, isn't the old man worrying about Sect Leader Gu? How does Sect Leader Gu plan to thank Sect Master?" Hu Shan said jokingly.
Gu Chen said with a smile: "Tianhai City is now completed, the demon clan can enter and exit freely, play, do business, and settle down, and when the time comes, please invite Prime Minister Hu Cheng to patronize, and this seat will definitely accompany you in person at that time!"
Hu Shan said to Gu Chen with a shy old face: "How can it be enough to be a companion? The old man has heard that Tianhai City is expensive, but as the first city of the human race to openly allow the demon clan to enter and exit freely, the old man wants to have a house there in his dreams, and after he is old, life there must be very comfortable!"
"Prime Minister Hu, are you blatantly asking for bribes, aren't you afraid that the Demon Emperor will punish you?" Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh at Hu Shan.
Hu Shan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Our demon clan doesn't have so many rules, and His Majesty the Demon Emperor won't say anything even if he knows it, so don't be afraid of the old man!
Gu Chen said with a proud face: "No problem, this seat must make a big mansion for Prime Minister Hu Cheng in Tianhai City!"
"Really?" Hu Shan's eyes suddenly glowed with gold, as if he was a fan of money.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said, "There is no lie!"
Hu Shan suddenly said with some embarrassment: "Well, the old man is just talking, in fact, I didn't help much, I really can't afford to be such a big gift from Sect Master Gu!"
Hu Shan wanted to resign at this time, it was too late, Gu Chen would not let go of such a good opportunity, Hu Shan, as the prime minister of the demon clan, although he was a civil servant, but he had great power, and he took the lead in taking this opportunity to give him a big gift, which made him feel ashamed, and when Gu Chen asked for something, he would definitely be embarrassed to refuse!
Gu Chen smiled with a treacherous smile: "Prime Minister Hu, this seat has always been true to his word, and he never takes back what he says!
When Hu Shan saw Gu Chen's ill-intentioned smile, he was immediately shocked, and said in his heart, "Oops! I accidentally got on a thief ship! How can Gu Chen's advantage be so easy to take advantage of? If he receives such a generous gift from him, how can he pay it off in the future? No matter what, just help him a few small favors when the time comes! The house in Tianhai City! Three in and three out! This is a complete mansion! Not to mention, it must be worth tens of millions of spirit stones, right? It may be more than that!
"Uh, then the old man accepted it with a cheeky face?" Hu Shan said tentatively to Gu Chen.
"Accept it with peace of mind, what kind of friendship is between us! It's normal to give gifts to each other and help or something!" Gu Chen patted Hu Shan's shoulder and smiled.
Hu Shan suddenly rolled his eyes, and made friends? What kind of friendship do I have with you? Yesterday you were fierce and vicious to me, but today you seem to have a very iron relationship with me!
Hu Shan naturally heard Gu Chen's words, and the focus of Gu Chen's words was "help"! He was hinting to Hu Shan, don't shirk when you ask Hu Shan for help in the future!
Although he understood Gu Chen's thoughts, but the matter had come to this point, Hu Shan couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, besides, the mansion in Tianhai City really made Hu Shan very excited.
