Chapter XXXIII

The Palace of the Falling Moon King, in the light of the rising sun, looks even more magnificent. The ministers of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info waited outside the main hall for a long time, only to hear an order from inside, and entered the main hall one after another. The most important thing today is that the king is going to accept two envoys from the demon clan to come and discuss the plan of the alliance.

The ministers were beginning to discuss state affairs, and the last thing to come outside was a majestic general dressed in gold armor. This man is full of beard, with big shoulders and a round waist, thick hands and feet, dazzling golden armor, and domineering majesty.

With a solemn expression on his face, he hurriedly strode forward and asked one of the guards, "Is the envoy in the main hall now?"

The guard said, "Yes, general, the two envoys have met the king at the top of the main hall, and a few guards have arranged accommodation in the palace to wait. ”

"What?" he was surprised when he heard this, "how can they live in the palace if they are not in the inn?"

The guard said, "It was the black-robed envoy who said that he was afraid that someone would hate them, and it would be bad for them to live in other places, and it would be safest to live in the palace." ”

"Then Your Majesty will promise them?"

"Yes, all the ministers don't know why the Holy Envoy said whatever His Majesty promised. ”

"Oh?" he thought it was strange, and said, "Go and report it, I want to see His Majesty!"

"Yes, General, wait a moment!" the guard walked into the main hall.

The layout of the main hall is almost the same as that of the main hall of the Tang Dynasty, but the eclipse platform and town seat also have their own new ideas. For example, the ceiling is octagonal, and the plate on it is engraved with the stars and the moon caisson; the white wall has some exotic style, and the wall is full of all kinds of stone carvings of Rui beasts hanging; more than 20 large pillars are arranged in the north and south, and behind the two pillars in the northernmost part like a pagoda are three steps paved with red carpet, the middle width and the outer two are narrow, separated by colorful railings, and the upper part is the king's throne. The king looked to be no more than forty, slightly fat, wearing a dragon and tiger robe, a crown with pearls in the lion's mouth, a round face, big ears and lower cheeks, arhat eyebrows and big eyes, a round of stubble around the tiger's mouth, and a solemn face, sitting on a golden chair trimmed with white jade, listening to the high talk. When the guards came in to interrupt, they informed the king: "Your Majesty, General Tu Wei is here." The king said, "Xuan!"

After a while, Tu Wei walked in, bowed down and said: "Weichen Tu Wei sees Your Majesty, and the minister is late to hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins." The king said, "You are not to blame, but get up." "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tu Wei stood aside.

On both sides of the main hall stood the ministers of civil and military affairs, and in the center stood two demon envoys, one was dressed in a black robe, burly, with exposed head and shawl hair, and green goldfish eyes, called the black-robed holy envoy, who was talking loudly, and the other was in a short green robe, with hedgehog hair, and a pair of ears as big as lotus leaves erected like a trumpet flower, this one was called the green robe holy envoy, but he kept silent. After a few words, the black-robed holy envoy handed over the document and said: "Your Majesty, this is a special document for our Tai Evil King, if Your Majesty has no problems, then we can rebuild Yu Hao, and according to the previous promise, marry the eldest princess to our eldest son, and our Tai Evil King will personally come to your majesty to humble you and form an alliance." ”

The king said in a soothing tone: "This is okay, I can also ignore what happened before, but you have to make it clear, it is not the widows who really want to be humble, but the people of the Falling Moon Country, in this case, for the sake of both of us, I have nothing to say, do you have anything else to say?"

The ministers were silent, and a few of them wanted to speak but stopped, because they saw that the two envoys of the Taievil clan had great prestige in front of the king, and they could not say anything.

After a while, Tu Wei resolutely stood up and said to the king: "Your Majesty, if you agree to negotiate peace, then please ask them three questions offended." ”

The king said: "Aiqing still has any questions, just say it." ”

Tu Wei said: "Then Your Majesty, Wei Chen can just say it!" He stood up straight and said: "First, I want to ask the two envoys, this time you came to negotiate, and when I came back, I heard that the border pass ahead was fighting with the War Demon King, I don't understand whether your peace negotiation is really sincere, or do you deliberately want to test our country's strength to see if our country has the strength to compete with them, if it is really sincere, what evidence can there be to guarantee that we will not invade our territory from now on?"

The blue-robed holy envoy was still silent, and the black-robed holy envoy said: "In order to show sincerity, our Taievil King will make an alliance and promise not to violate it in the future." ”

Tu Wei said contemptuously: "You alone can't represent the entire Twenty-six Ways Demon Clan, the Evil King is just one of your Twenty-Six Ways Demon Clan's alliance leader, and I know that there are a few Ways Demon Clan who are not completely at the disposal of the Evil King, if they don't form an alliance with your Twenty-Six Ways Demon Clan, will they continue to fight against us?"

The black-robed holy envoy said: "Our Tai Evil King is powerful and shocks the entire Twenty-six Ways Demon Clan, if anyone dares to disobey the dispatch and become an enemy of your country, it will be an enemy of our Tai Evil King, and we will join forces with your country to fight against it!"

Tu Wei sneered: "Then if in the future, if your Tai Evil King is no longer the leader of the alliance, but has changed to another person in power, will you regret it?" He said to the king again: "Your Majesty, you have to think twice!"

The king nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense. ”

The black-robed holy envoy hurriedly said to the king: "Your Majesty, as long as our king signs the covenant, all other demon kings will come to sign the agreement and apologize to you, keep the peace forever, and never regret it." ”

Tu Wei sneered: "I see that you are not here to apologize, but to ask for guilt!"

The black-robed holy envoy was slightly angry when he asked, looked at him and said, "General, how can you talk like this, we have an alliance to prove it!"

Tu Wei said: "If you want to regret it, the paperwork is just a piece of waste paper, what's the use!"

The black-robed holy envoy said: "What, General Tu Wei, do you still want the two of us to continue to fight to the death, so when will we have to enjoy peace?"

Tu Wei said: "As long as you are not still in our territory and do not get out of here, we will not get the real peace!"

The black-robed holy envoy said, "You are deliberately trying to provoke a war between our two sides!"

Tu Wei said: "I'm not provoking but dissuading!"

The blue-robed holy envoy was calm and did not refute it. When the king saw them arguing, in order to let them end, he interjected a sentence of advice: "Well, General Tu Wei, your words may not be a little serious, I have to admit that you are loyal to the country, but how can you be so rude to the envoy?" The two envoys, you want to make peace, I promise you, your eldest son wants to marry our eldest princess, I will not refuse you, as long as you can reconcile, can keep the world peaceful, the widow can agree, but you go back and tell you that the evil king, the widow is sincere, if you have other thoughts, the widow is not easy to bully. ”

The black-robed holy envoy bowed down and said, "This, Your Majesty, don't worry. ”

The king softened his tone and added, "War can only bring disaster to living beings, we all need peace, and although we may have some small frictions during peace, these little things cannot mess up our friendly relations." ”

Tu Wei was dismayed, and added with a contemptuous smile: "Hmph, these small frictions will cause chaos one day!"

"Enough!" exclaimed the king, "is it not possible for this king to make you come?"

"That's not what Weichen meant, I..." Tu Wei hurriedly explained, and the king said: "I have decided to negotiate peace, and no one will dispute it again, and this is the end of today!"

At this time, at this time, a white-robed man stood up, this person had a gentle face, black eyes and black hair, and he looked like a person from the Tang Dynasty, he arched his hand to the king and said: "Your Majesty, General Tu Wei just said that there are three questions for you, so it's not too late to let him tell the other two to listen to it and make a decision." ”

This man seemed to be extremely prestigious, and the king frowned, and said with a deep sigh, "All right!" and said to Tu Wei, "What other questions do you have to say?"

Tu Wei said: "Your Majesty, then I'll be straight!" He said to the two envoys: "The second question, looking at the size of the world, our Demon Continent is just a small place, there are more places with human beings outside our Demon Continent, since ancient times, good and evil have not been separated, if we make a truce with the Demon Army, will they take the opportunity to invade other places other than the Demon Continent and harm the world?"

The king interjected: "Tu Wei, you can skip this question, you are only the general of the Falling Moon Country, and the widow is only the king of the Falling Moon Country, we only care about the affairs of the Falling Moon Kingdom, and the affairs of the outside world have nothing to do with us." ”

Seeing that the king said this, Tu Wei didn't want to ask any further, and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, you can ignore the affairs of the outside world, but there is one more thing about our Falling Moon Country, and this is the third question I want to ask!"

The king's brows furrowed, and despite his impatience, he forced himself to wave his hand and said, "Speak quickly!"

Tu Wei said: "Back then, the Twenty-Six Roads Demon Clan joined forces to attack my Falling Moon Country, and the War Demon Clan occupied my country's Flame Stopping City, and they also regarded the people in the city as slaves, it has been eight years now, if they can make friends this time, I wonder if they can return to Flame Stopping City first?"

The black-robed holy envoy said to the king, "Your Majesty, our Taievil King is discussing this matter with the War Demon Heavenly King of the War Demon Clan, and the Flame Stopping City will definitely be returned." ”

Tu Wei looked at him and asked, "This kind of thing still needs to be discussed?"

The king said: "The black-robed holy envoy, you don't like to hear what you say, I only give you ten days, if you don't quit Shangyan City, then you don't have to mention the matter of peace again, go back and tell your king, I agree to the peace, but the premise is that you must hand over the Flame City first." His last few words were a little more severe, and the black-robed holy envoy didn't dare to say anything more, and clasped his hands into fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." The king waved his hand and said, "Go down first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the two holy envoys saluted at the same time, then turned their heads and walked out of the hall, but the blue-robed holy envoys never said anything. Everyone wondered: Is it a dumb bar, how can the evil king send a dumb bar as an envoy?

When the two of them walked to the door of the main hall, a group of people suddenly came from outside to block the way, and the black-robed holy envoy was bumped back by one of the burly and well-dressed young men, and almost turned his head, and then listened to the man: "Your Majesty, you let them go so easily?"

When the king saw a group of people suddenly coming in from outside the door, and the person who took the lead was actually Prince Sheyi, and there were several strange-shaped demons behind him, and he asked, "What is the matter?"

Suddenly, from among the crowd ran out a young woman dressed beautifully and luxuriously, graceful and handsome, and cried out with a bitter face: "Your Majesty!"

When the king saw that this person was actually his own princess, he was shocked, Huo Ran got up and greeted him and said, "Ai Concubine, why are you here too?"

The princess fell forward and threw herself into the king's arms, crying bitterly: "Your Majesty, I almost can't come back!"

"What the hell is going on. The king asked, puzzled.

"Your Majesty just ...... These little demons...... They...... You want to kidnap me!" he said, pointing to the demons who were being held.

"What, there is such a thing?" the king's face turned hot, and both the national teacher and Tu Wei were surprised, and the two holy envoys were in a cold sweat and panicked. The princess pointed to the strange people: "You have been in the imperial study last night, and these little demons pretending to be you broke into my room to stun me and take me out of the palace...... Otherwise......" The princess was excited for a while, and she sobbed again before she could say anything. The king was shocked and angry, "Have they done anything to you?" and the princess sobbed, "No!"

Prince Sheyong said: "Brother Wang, I only got the news last night, they first pretended to be Prince Ming into the royal city, and then pretended to be Brother Wang's appearance and mixed into the palace, originally wanted to assassinate Brother Wang, but Brother Wang happened not to be in the bedroom at the time, and in the imperial study, they couldn't enter the imperial study, so they simply kidnapped the princess, fortunately I got the secret report in time, and laid a net outside the city, so they were caught and handed over to Brother Wang for disposal. ”

When the king heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, and said, "So, if I had been in the palace last night, wouldn't something happen to me!"

Prince Sheyu took out a token from his waist and said: "Brother Wang, this is their fake waist card, exactly the same as yours, please take a look at it!"

A eunuch came down from the king's side and took the token, went up and handed it to the king. The king removed the princess from his arms, looked at the token, and suddenly glared at the demons, and said angrily: "You are so bold!"

Those people were already so frightened that they trembled and bowed their heads and did not dare to make a sound. Prince Sheyu said, "Brother Wang, I also heard that these people seem to be related to these two holy envoys!"

"Oh?" the king said to the black-robed envoy again, "Is that so?"

The two holy envoys trembled when they heard this, "This ...... We don't know, Your Majesty, please investigate!" the black-robed envoy made an innocent look.

Prince Sheyong said: "No, you don't even know, aren't you in a group?"

When the black-robed holy envoy was frightened by what he said, his eyes widened in fright, and he explained with a whimper: "This...... This one...... How is this possible, this ......!". At this time, the blue-robed holy envoy finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said to the king: "Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding in this!"

"Misunderstanding?" Prince Sheyu said: "Yesterday, a few of them have already recruited everything, and I advise the two holy envoys to tell the truth!"

"Ahh The black-robed holy envoy rolled his eyes, and said to them again: "Okay, it turns out that what they said is true, I didn't expect you to do such a thing behind my back!" and said to the king: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being unable to discipline you!"

Tu Wei stood aside and sneered, "Hmph, if your subordinates dare to do such a thing without your orders, then you, the one who takes the lead, are not a good thing!"

The king shouted angrily, "They are indeed your men!"

The black-robed envoy said to the king again: "Your Majesty, this is my subordinate, but the ins and outs of this have not yet been clarified, this must be a trick designed by some people in your country who oppose our peace talks, and sabotage our peace talks, you must not fall for their schemes." His eyes kept meeting the king's as he spoke, as if they were telling him something, and he pleaded: "Your Majesty, you must believe us, they have arranged it, and we are dirty!"

The king looked at him pleading, as if he had taken a reassuring medicine, stabilized his anger, and asked the prince of Sheliu, "Are these things you said true?"

The princess rebuked from the side: "Your Majesty, why do you still believe in them, they are not sincere in negotiating peace with Ben, would you rather believe them than believe me!"

The king said to the black-robed saint again: "Black-robed holy envoy, do you mean that my princess will set a trap to deceive me?"

The black-robed holy envoy hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that the princess lied to you, I meant ......"

"Then are you talking about me?" Before he could finish speaking, Prince Sheqi walked over, exuding a majesty and sorrow.
