Chapter 515: Flushing and Returning to the Week
After completing the mission, the envoys of various forces returned one after another.
It's just that, unlike the high spirits before they came, Hua Jun and his party witnessed Ning Ze's strength with their own eyes, which made them lose confidence in their own forces.
Guan Ping returned to Bian Zhou, and Tang Niu immediately summoned him into the palace.
Hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides, waiting for his report.
"Doctor Guan, can you get anything from Jinzhou this time?" After Guan Ping saw the salute, Tang Niu asked eagerly.
Guan Ping bowed down and replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister went to Jinzhou, followed Ning Ze into the Lock Demon Tower, and saw countless sealed monsters with his own eyes, and also saw Shui Bo, the bird demon and another monster who were surrendered by Ning Ze, the rumors are true, Ning Ze does have the magic power to reach the sky......"
"Nonsense!" As soon as the words fell, a civil official stood up and reprimanded sharply, "Doctor Guan has always said that he respects ghosts and gods and stays away, and when he went to Jinzhou, he suddenly changed his words and abandoned his beliefs, for fear that he would be bought by Ning Ze and have thrown himself into the enemy country!"
Before Guan Ping could speak, Mei Xu next to him frowned slightly, and stopped the civil official: "Doctor Guan has a noble character and is loyal to Your Majesty." Everyone else has defected to the enemy, and he will also loyally support Da Zhou. ”
"I can trust Doctor Guan!" Tang Niu knew Guan Ping quite well, otherwise he would not have sent him to Jinzhou.
"Your Majesty Xie and Cheng believe in Ren Weichen," Guan Ping responded gratefully, "The minister has never believed in ghosts and gods, but this trip to Jinzhou, it is difficult to deceive himself by seeing it with his own eyes! Moreover, in addition to the minister, the three envoys of Liang and Nancheng have also witnessed it with their own eyes, and this matter cannot be deceived by anyone!"
"What does that monster look like?" Tang Niu asked.
"The minister has drawn the appearance of the monsters, including the three gods and ghosts that Ning Ze surrendered. Guan Ping replied.
"Where is the painting?"
"The minister has ordered someone to bring it, and he is waiting outside the temple. ”
"Quick!"
"Whoa!"
The leveled servants were called in, each with a picture scroll in his hand, carefully placed away.
Guan Ping turned around, selected one of them and slowly unfolded it, and pointed it towards Tang Niu: "Your Majesty, this is the portrait of the monster in the lock demon tower! Countless monsters are sealed in the tower, all of which are huge, hideous, and their mouths are so big that they can swallow cattle and sheep alive." ”
Tang Niu sat on the unicorn chair, and he couldn't see it from a distance, so he got up and went down the stairs, and came to Guan Ping to check it closely.
Guan Ping held the portrait respectfully.
In the portrait is the appearance of the ancient ant scorpion, lifelike, and there is a guard soldier next to it as a comparison, through the comparison, you can clearly see the huge size.
"This is the monster that Ning Ze surrendered?" Tang Niu asked.
"It's one of the monsters he surrendered," replied Kanpei, "Your Majesty, please look at this!"
As he spoke, he turned around and changed the second painting in the servant's hand and unfolded it in front of Tang Niu in person.
This painting is the floor plan of the Taoist temple of the "Lock Demon Tower", and he actually recorded the entire area where the ancient ant scorpion corpse was stored, including the small house on the side, in a plan and spread it out on the long scroll. This painting is also lifelike, just seeing the corpse of the ancient ant scorpion in the painting, Tang Niu can't help but shudder.
With the size of these ancient ant scorpions, he felt that he could barely defeat one of them, but at the same time, he couldn't resist such a large number of nests, and he would definitely become their food.
Ning Ze actually destroyed so many monsters with his own strength, could it really be that his mana reached the sky?
"What are these?" Tang Niu, who had never seen such a thing, asked curiously, finding that in addition to the corpses of the ancient ant scorpions, the guards, and a large number of giant insect eggs were found in the picture.
"Your Majesty, these are monster eggs, and they will be destroyed before they hatch!" replied respectfully.
Tang Niu looked at the contents of the painting carefully, didn't know what to think, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "Doctor Guan, let me see the water boy and the bird demon who were subdued by Ning Ze." ”
"Wow!" Guan Ping brought several other picture scrolls, unfolded them in front of Tang Niu one after another, and introduced them one by one.
In addition to "Shuibo", "Bird Demon", and "Another Monster" in the picture scroll, Ning Ze is painted as a reference, which makes people see the exaggerated body shape of these gods and ghosts at a glance.
After reading it, Tang Niu was silent, and ordered to circulate these scrolls to the civil and military ministers in the palace, and returned to the throne to close his eyes and think.
The civil and military ministers circulated the scrolls one by one, and they were all frightened by the things in the paintings, and their expressions changed one after another.
When everyone had seen the scroll and returned it to Guan Ping, Guan Ping stood with his hands down, bowing his head and waiting for Tang Niu to speak.
The civil and military ministers also looked at Tang Niu, and they really didn't know what to say in this situation.
Tang Niu was also silent, and there was silence in the hall.
After a long time, I finally saw him speak: "Doctor Guan has worked hard! The long journey must be very tiring, let's go back and rest first!"
"Your Majesty!" Guan Ping was indeed very tired, after all, he entered the palace immediately after rushing back to Bian Zhou, and he was quite tired from bearing such a great psychological pressure in the palace.
The scroll was left in the temple, and Guan Ping retreated to the outside of the hall with his servants and left in a hurry.
After he left, Tang Niu turned to the left: "Prime Minister thinks, how true is what Dr. Guan said?"
Seeing that he was asked, Mei Xu got up and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, you have both virtue and virtue, and you are not a liar!"
"What does the prime minister mean, these are all true?" Tang Niu lightly tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair.
"If someone else acts, the minister will also be suspicious. However, Doctor Guan went in person, presumably what he said was true!" Mei Xu replied, "Your Majesty is worried, Ning Ze's mana is through the sky, and our chances of winning are extremely small?"
Tang Niu was said to be thoughtful, bowed his head and remained silent.
Although he was defeated by Ning Ze many times before, he only regarded him as a hostile force that was stronger than himself in force, and his strength and fortune were slightly stronger than himself, so no matter how embarrassed he was, he was confident that he would turn the tide around.
However, Guan Ping brought back such bad news, which made him know that he was not facing an ordinary hostile force that was only a little stronger, but a warlock with unimaginable mana that even gods and demons could not resist.
Such a person can even be called a god.
How can mortals oppose the immortals? How can mortals defeat the immortals?
Mei Xu saw Tang Niu's emotions in his eyes, knowing that anyone who encountered such a situation would fall into a panic, even Tang Niu, who was once known as the number one military general in the world.
To be honest, I have a sense of powerlessness in my heart, but I can't say anything that makes people feel discouraged. So he said to Tang Niu: "Your Majesty, don't worry! Although Ning Ze's mana reaches the sky, throughout the past and present, the unification of the world still depends on the military spirit and public opinion! No matter how strong the mana is, he is also a first-order demon, and he is not invincible! As long as Your Majesty is diligent in government affairs and consolidates the people's will, he will definitely be able to turn the situation around. There are countless capable people in the world, and there will definitely be an existence that rivals Ning Ze, just need to be patient now!"
Hearing this, Tang Niu was a little relieved: "What the prime minister said is very true! I don't believe in the great country, and I can't find an existence that can match Ning Ze." If the order goes down, I will increase the reward, and all the people in the world who have miraculous abilities can go to the imperial city to be officials. If anyone can match Ning Ze, he will be awarded the position of a national teacher!"
"Your Majesty is wise!!" the civil and military ministers shouted in unison.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Tang Niu returned to the harem and asked someone to prepare wine and food to drink alone.
Miao Ji came to his room, saw this situation, sat on the side, and asked softly, "Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind?"
Tang Niu did not speak.
"The concubine heard that Dr. Guan returned from Huajun, could it be related to this matter?" Miao Ji asked again.
Tang Niu sighed lightly: "The minister is lenient with his words, and the Chinese martial arts are all persuaded with his words." I know very well that no one is afraid of today's events. Ning Ze actually has the magic power to reach the sky, and I still want to practice martial arts hard, and one day defeat him on the battlefield and regain the honor of the world's number one general. Could it be that Liu Yuanxiang, as a woman, really got the qi of the unicorn and will dominate the country with the assistance of Ning Ze?"
Seeing that he was so depressed, although Miao Ji didn't know what was happening above the main hall, she directly snatched the wine glass: "Your Majesty, the hero of the world, why is it so decadent? The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty all respect Your Majesty and are willing to follow Your Majesty to Dingding! Although Huaguo is strong, it is only a temporary trend. In history, there have been countless people who have defeated the strong with the weak, and the concubine thinks that His Majesty will be able to turn the tide and win the country!"
Tang Niu's heart was a little comfortable, although Miao Ji didn't know anything, it was not easy to be able to say these words to boost herself. I didn't want to disappoint her, so I reluctantly smiled and said, "The queen's words made me pause!"
"The concubine obeys the ......"
Not to mention how Tang Niu was depressed after learning the "truth", Mei Xu went to visit Guan Ping's house with a portrait after he dispersed the dynasty.
Guan Ping returned home to freshen up, and was about to rest, when he heard that the prime minister came to the door, and hurriedly greeted him.
The two entered the hall and retreated.
Guan Ping arched his hand and asked, "The prime minister suddenly came to visit, I don't know what happened?"
Mei Xu stared at Guan Ping's eyes, and suddenly asked, "Doctor Guan has returned from Jinzhou, what did Ning Ze ask you to do?"
Guan Ping was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, and instantly changed his face and scolded angrily: "The prime minister suspects me?"
"This matter is too strange, I just want to ask in person!" replied Mei Xu.
This made Guan Ping quite angry, Mei Xu spoke for himself in the hall before, and he was quite moved at the time, who would have thought that he would turn his head and come to the door to doubt himself: "If the prime minister doesn't believe it, you can take someone's head away!
Mei Xu carefully observed Guan Ping's expression, and then smiled: "Don't be angry, Doctor Guan deliberately plays with him, and there is no malice." In fact, I came here to ask about Jinzhou!"
When Guan Ping heard this, he suppressed the anger in his chest and said in a deep voice: "The matter of Jinzhou has been told in full, and there is no concealment!"
"That's not what the prime minister wants to ask," Mei Xu smiled and took his hand, like a good friend, "Doctor Guan's trip, what he has seen and heard must be more than what His Palace said." For example, the city defense of the counties in Jinzhou, the layout of the city, the lives of the people, and all aspects of China, although you know that Dr. Guan is tired, please take a little time to have a good chat with Benxiang. ”
"Is the prime minister here to inquire about what he has seen and heard on this trip?" calmed down his emotions, "This trip to Jinzhou has indeed seen many strange things, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it in a few words." ”
"It's okay, Benxiang is willing to listen!" Mei Xu smiled, "Any detail may become useful information for us." ”
