Intuition told Gu Xu that these points of light represented the connection between the fire god and the believers.

Through these connections, the god of fire can give his power to his followers or take it back.

"If I'm not mistaken, in the past few years, the position of the 'Fire God' has been vacant," Gu Xu thought to himself, "The object of worship of the people of the Great Swallow is actually just an ethereal symbol.

"However, due to the similar rule, authority, and unknown relationship between the 'Huilu' and the Great Yan Fire God, I relied on the 'Huilu' rune to occupy this divine position.

"I have to say, the power of faith is really powerful. Compared to the 'Heavens', the followers of the 'Vulcan' are simply pitiful, but I was still almost overwhelmed by this force just now.

"No wonder 'Taishang Haotian' wants to compile a supreme god with one body and two faces, and he will go to great lengths to usurp the incense that originally belonged to the 'Ziwei Emperor'."

Then he turned his head and saw the high priest Chongli prostrate at his feet, and the priests kneeling in a room.

Things obviously turned out a little more than he expected.

How did he, a wanted criminal who fled in embarrassment, accidentally become the embodiment of a god in the eyes of this group of people?

Of course, the current Gu Xu is no longer the simple boy in Yishui County who was bent on killing ghosts and only seeking immortality.

Even though his heart fluctuated, the expression on his face was still calm.

He was thinking, he was an enemy of the Great Qi Imperial Court, and the Great Yan Kingdom was also an enemy of the Great Qi Imperial Court, and he had such a subtle connection with Great Yan - so could he take this opportunity to tie Great Yan to his chariot?

Although Zhao Yan has expressed his willingness to provide him with shelter more than once, this is only Zhao Yan's personal idea after all. If he agreed, in the eyes of the Yan people, he would be nothing more than a foreign defector, a guest privately recruited by Her Majesty the Future.

But if he is involved with the "God of Fire", it will be different.

The people of Dayan will completely regard him as their own.

Even those opponents of Zhao Yan, at least on the surface, have to offer him to the altar and follow his will.

Perhaps such a move is suspicious of exploitation.

But after he escaped from the border of Daqi with nine deaths, he had already deeply realized that it was difficult to compete with a country with the strength of one person.

Before his wings are fully full, he must do his best to find all possible assistance.

"Sons of Dayan, you will soon understand that I am fighting for the liberation of the Great Wilderness Terrans......" he said secretly in his heart.

Thinking of this, he bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to help the high priest Chongli who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a kind but not lacking majesty: "Get up." You should know very well that what I care about is never what is on the surface. ”

Chongli stood up with a slight tremble, his eyes suddenly full of tears.

"So you really didn't abandon us......"

…………

At the same time, the Great Yan Palace.

Zhao Changying looked at the daughter in front of her and was silent for a while.

Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced out the window: "Yan'er, the guest you brought seems to have just made a lot of noise in the Fire God Temple. If I'm not mistaken, he's the young man named Gu Xu who helped you awaken your bloodline, right? ”

"That's right." Zhao Yan nodded.

At this moment, she also clearly felt that in the direction of the Fire God Temple, a scorching force rose up, resonating strongly with her bloodline.

The father easily guessed Gu Xu's identity, and Zhao Yan was not surprised.

As a powerhouse in the realm of "True Monarch", Zhao Changying's divine sense power has expanded to the limit, and he can almost envelop an entire city and know what is happening in the city.

Gu Xu's mask could block divination and observation spells, but it couldn't stop Zhao Changying's guesses based on experience.

"It seems that he really has a deep relationship with our great 'Fire God'," Zhao Changying continued, "Yan'er, have you ever considered keeping him in Dayan when you have been with him in the past few days?" ”

"I tried to get him, but he didn't give me a definite answer." Zhao Yan replied.

"The word 'solicitation' is a bit too disrespectful for someone like Gu Xu," Zhao Changying smiled vigorously, "Even Luo Chuan respectfully served him tea and poured water in front of him.

"We can't expect him to be our subordinate and make him loyal to us. We can only give enough conditions to 'please' him to stay and let him become our own. ”

Zhao Yan was silent, but she agreed with her father's statement.

In the process of getting along with Gu Xu, she could feel that Gu Xu was polite on the surface, but in fact he was arrogant - especially when talking about immortals and emperors, there was no awe of ordinary people in his tone, but it was like discussing a trivial matter at home.

What's more, Gu Xu also told her that the main star of his life palace is "Ziweixing......

"How do you feel about him?" Zhao Changying suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted her thoughts.

"Huh? It's fine. Zhao Yan was caught off guard.

"Would you like to let him be your husband?"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a second, but she didn't expect her father to talk around for a long time, and finally turned the topic around her marriage.

"Didn't I just tell you?" Reflexively, she retorted, "I hate being in close proximity to men. ”

"Then you were in front of the palace just now, and you asked Gu Xu to grab your arm, how should you explain?" The corners of Zhao Changying's mouth rose slightly, and her smile was mixed with a hint of mischievous belonging to young people.

"This ......" Zhao Yan pursed her lips, feeling that this was a little difficult to explain, "I just regard him as a very good friend." Well...... Maybe I appreciate him a little bit, but he already has a fiancée who has a deep affection, and I can't do anything with him. ”

"If the news I got is correct, he has been divorced by the woman."

"Yes, it's a divorce, and he told me about it. But this is ultimately due to external factors. I see that he is obsessed with that fiancée, and it is estimated that he is thinking about returning to the capital all the time, killing Emperor Tianxing, and renewing the frontier. ”

"Yan'er, you're wrong," Zhao Changying said earnestly, "Men are creatures who want to save face." Even if he really missed that girl, it was impossible for him to marry her again. ”

"Why?" Zhao Yan was puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, he only told you about the divorce, not the details of the divorce process," Zhao Changying explained, "According to the information I sent to Luojing City, Shi Lei, Gu Xu's quasi-father-in-law, who came to the state capital of Qianhu, immediately called the matchmaker to his home after Gu Xu was ordered to be wanted, tore up the marriage contract in front of them, and burned the dowry that Gu Xu had sent before.

After that, it was also because Shi Lei revealed Gu Xu's information to Princess Zhaoning that Gu Xu's whereabouts were exposed in Jingcheng.

"You should have understood that in the customs of Daqi, the woman's repentance of marriage is extremely humiliating to the man, and it is also written in the "Qi Law", 'The woman respects the elder and repents of marriage, according to the law of sixty rods, and another is allowed to marry others, one hundred rods'.

"Shi Lei's divorce for his daughter is a special situation and is not punished by law. But purely from the point of view of his behavior of burning the dowry, it is to slap the man's face in public, and in normal times, it is enough to make the two families feud. ”

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and was silent.

Gu Xu only told her before that the divorce was just to clear up the relationship and protect Shi Xiaohan from being implicated; I didn't know that there were so many details hidden here.

Especially in the battle of Jingcheng, she saw that Gu Xu was outnumbered under the pursuit of the officials of Daqi, and his body was injured, and his life was in danger.

Gu Xu's former quasi-father-in-law was the accomplice who forced him into a desperate situation.

It's just that Gu Xu doesn't seem to know this.

And when he mentioned Shi Xiaohan and her family, there was no complaint in his tone, but he was full of understanding of their situation, and at most he sighed "Creation makes people, and fate is difficult".

Gu Xu, Gu Xu, you are so kind. Zhao Yan sighed silently.

Vaguely, she was suddenly a little reluctant to let Gu Xu leave her side and go back to Luojing to continue the front edge, for fear that he would be hurt like this in the future.

"Yan'er, I know that you have been a proud person since you were a child, and you are unwilling to change the truth you believe in easily, and naturally you are not willing to admit your feelings in your heart.

"But your eyes don't lie. When you are outside the palace, your eyes keep falling on him, as if he has a magnet on him that can attract your attention firmly.

"When I was talking just now, I also saw that you were worried about him, nervous for him, and your brows were furrowed.

"I've never seen you look like that to anyone else.

"Not even your own father has ever enjoyed such treatment."

Zhao Changying sighed lightly and continued.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it? Don't make it up. Zhao Yan frowned, still reluctant to admit it.

"Is there or not, you touch your heart, and then think about it carefully."

Zhao Yan snorted lightly, but her right hand couldn't help but touch her chest.

At this moment, she did feel her heart pounding.

However, she is too broad-minded, and she really can't feel the specific frequency of her heartbeat.

"You grew up listening to the legends of the heroes of the Northern Realm since you were a child, and you should know very well that 'the strong are respected' has always been the tradition of our Dayan," Zhao Changying paused, and then said, "As long as you are strong enough, you can have priority access to all resources, including pills, money, and beauties."

"As the children of the Zhao family, if we want something, we can grab it ourselves, so why bother to care about other people's opinions and give it to others?

"I think at the beginning, I fought a duel with someone else on the edge of a cliff for your mother. Your great-grandmother, in order to chase your great-grandfather, ambushed him on the mountain road he had to pass through, and intercepted him like a female bandit.

"Shi Lei's daughter, I have also heard others talk about it, but she is just a short, yellow-haired girl who is not mature, only a little virgin who has just fallen in love will like that kind of girl. My daughter is stronger in appearance than her, and her strength is stronger than her, if you want a man, are you afraid that you can't grab it?

"Moreover, from the moment she tore up the marriage contract, it was equivalent to voluntarily withdrawing from the arena......"

"Father!" Zhao Yan sat up straight and frowned.

Although she was born in the north and knows that the people in the north are fierce, perhaps because she spent most of her childhood in Luojing City, when Zhao Changying talked about the topic of "robbing men" in front of her with the smell of alcohol, she still inevitably felt a little awkward.

"Okay, I won't rush you," seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Zhao Changying chuckled again, "You must be tired after running around for so many days." Let's go to your room and change your clothes, rest for a while, and then think about it again! ”

Zhao Yan said "um", nodded, and then walked out of the room absentmindedly.

Zhao Changying looked at her departing back and exhaled a long breath.

He once thought that with his daughter's temper, she might have spent her life with the Oiran of the Qinglou. Unexpectedly, before she died, she waited for the day when she was as passionate as other girls.

Thinking of the young man named Gu Xu, his mood was quite complicated.

On the one hand, he, like all fathers-in-law in the world, feels that the little cabbage he has worked so hard to raise is going to be taken away by pigs;

On the other hand, he knew that Gu Xu's identity and potential must be extraordinary-

From Luo Chuan's attitude towards him, it can be seen that Gu Xu's future realm will at least start as a saint, and there is a high probability that he will be above a saint.

Moreover, with Gu Xu's current incredible cultivation speed, it would probably not take him a few years to reach the realm of a saint.

Now that Daqi and Dayan are enemies, Zhao Changying himself has not much time.

Although Great Yan still has a certain background, it will still be very difficult to resist the Great Qi Dynasty, which has many strong men.

If Gu Xu is willing to stay in Dayan, then after he is full-fledged, he will definitely become a powerful help by Zhao Yan's side.

But the most important thing is the connection between Gu Xu and the "God of Fire".

With the divine perception ability of the "True Monarch" powerhouse, Zhao Changying already knew everything that happened in the "Fire Temple" today.

Although he didn't know the existence of the "Huilu" rune, and he didn't know how far Gu Xu could control the authority of the "Fire God", he could feel the faint movement of his bloodline power, and he could also predict how lofty Gu Xu's status would be in the hearts of the "Fire God" believers in the future.

Maybe in the near future, Gu Xu's prestige in the northern realm will become even higher than that of the Great Yan Monarch.

Zhao Changying understands that a person like this must not let him go and let him go to other forces; You can't use too strong tactics against him and provoke his disgust.

The best thing to do is to make him your own.

It just so happened that Gu Xu was born in a civilian family, and he had no relatives or power behind him.

Coincidentally, Zhao Yan also happened to have a good impression of him.

That's why he bluntly mentioned the marriage in front of Zhao Yan, hoping that before he died, the matter would be settled.

Thinking of this, Zhao Changying raised his head and instructed the guards guarding the door: "After the friend brought by Yan'er comes out of the temple, you invite him here, saying that I want to meet him and have a good talk with him." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."
