Chapter 181: Then it's up to you
Maybe it was the retribution of reading too many meaty books before, and Taiwa was eaten tofu by the same kid again.
"Yo yo yo, no wonder I don't see you guys. So I'm having a good time here."
At this time, after participating in the meeting and conversation with the envoy from Yingzhou, Deputy Shuai Lingju, with the identity of Qiu Shu, happened to pass by this secluded place, and also happened to see the incomparably beautiful status quo of Chen Liu and Taiwa.
Seeing this, Chen Liu hurriedly moved away from Taiwa and stood aside awkwardly, at a loss.
Taiwa, who had always been at a disadvantage, also quickly stood up and took the opportunity to slap Chen Liu in the face, which was very loud, and planned to leave here immediately.
However, she was stopped by Lingju.
"What's the matter?"
"There's something about you."
"What's your business with me!"
"What if it's about the continuation of the demon race?"
So, Taiwa succumbed.
As a demon lord, it is impossible for her to ignore things related to the demon clan.
She and Chen Liu were far away but stood on the same line, like young men and women waiting for their elders to reprimand and teach after making mistakes.
The party that took advantage of it bowed its head and admitted its mistakes, and the party that was taken advantage of was angry and ready to vent at any time.
"Are you two so eager?"
"I...... This...... It's all hot in my head."
These words are obviously getting darker and darker, which naturally attracts the eyes of Vice Marshal Lingju who understands everything.
Taiwa was so angry that she stomped her foot and threatened:
"You...... If you do this again, I will castrate you believe it or not!"
Chen Liu only felt a chill in his crotch, and hurriedly said that he immediately closed his mouth and made a sealing action.
He only felt that he was also very strange, and he was really unconscious.
He couldn't help but glance at Lingju.
"Don't look at me, it's none of my business...... In addition, Feng Shuai said not to speculate on him. The Great Venerable of the Demon Clan has said that we will not interfere in the life of the Demon Lord."
Ling Ju took out both himself and Feng Shuai, and everything could only be attributed to Chen Liu's own lust and timidity.
After all, except for Feng Shuai, there should be no one so boring.
So, he chose not to speak anymore and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
After Taiwa calmed her heart's thrust, she said impatiently:
"Hurry up and say something. I don't want to stay in this place for a moment."
Deputy Marshal Lingju smiled, didn't sell it, and said directly:
"Demon Ancestor Token. Are you interested?"
This information not only made Taiwa short of breath and his heart shake, but also surprised Chen Liu.
He didn't know what the Demon Ancestor token was for, but one of its functions was to restart the Demon Emperor Palace, which had been closed for many years. In the Demon Emperor Palace, there is the inheritance of the ancient Demon Emperor and even the Demon Ancestor!
Originally, the Demon Clan and Taiwa planned to choose to forcibly pass the test and restart the Demon Emperor Palace. This path is extremely difficult, and the probability of success is actually not high, but if you have the Demon Ancestor Token, all problems can be solved.
"What you say is true?"
This kind of news made Taiwa feel unbelievable after all. She couldn't believe and accept it for a while.
As for the answer, of course...... Lingju shook her head.
"I don't know if it's real or not. This news was said by the so-called Yingzhou envoy just now. However, it is difficult to completely determine the truth of this kind of thing, otherwise they would have exchanged that token with your demon clan a long time ago. I guess even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you probably will change it."
Things are indeed as Lingju said.
If this token is really in the hands of the other party, the demon clan will welcome it back to the 100,000 mountains even if they do everything.
In this regard, Taiwa also expected. So she then asked:
"And what did he say?"
However, Ling Ju suddenly smiled slyly, rubbed a lock of hair that had fallen, and said:
"Why should I tell you?"
Chen Liu only felt that the atmosphere in this place was a little depressing, so he hurriedly made a round.
"How can you say that?"
Deputy Marshal Lingju walked to Chen Liu's side, picked up Chen Liu's chin, and said:
"It's still the little guy who is sensible. Actually, it's not difficult, either this demon lord will offer her herself, or you can recommend a pillow and sleep with me."
Chen Liu hurriedly swept away the fingers of the deputy marshal and shirked:
"Your Excellency, please respect yourself."
The identity of this Lingju deputy marshal is unknown, and it is difficult to distinguish between male and female. No matter how glamorous and refined he looks, it is difficult for Chen Liu to accept it.
She pretended to be sad, but she could make people who didn't know the truth sigh that I felt pity.
Taiwa watched the excitement from the sidelines, but she was unhurried.
"It's boring, it's boring. Forget it, I'll tell you. The old man said that the token was in Penglai. The rest really needs to be found out by you, or he will really become the commander of the pole beaters."
After Lingju played around, he still revealed the news to one or two of them.
However, as he said before. This kind of mystery involving the Demon Ancestor, how can it tell you?
Either interests, power, or on your own.
The interests are not allowed, not to mention that this kind of thing needs to be decided by the supreme commanders of both sides. Taiwa counts, but Lingju is not, and Chen Liu is not for the time being.
Taiwa also knows this truth, and the little information she revealed is actually considered to be benevolent and righteous. So she still said against her will:
"Thank you."
"Then I won't bother you. You go on."
Lingju then left the secluded bamboo pavilion with brisk steps.
Her last words undoubtedly wiped out the little bit of gratitude that Taiwa had to give.
Chen Liu consciously took the loss, and could only ask:
"Sister Taiwa......
"Shut up."
The atmosphere fell into extreme anxiety for a while. Taiwa didn't want to speak, but Chen Liu didn't dare to speak.
But it's okay to be stunned all the time, so someone has to break the game.
"The ......"
He was about to say something soft, when an anxious guard burst in.
He was particularly pleasantly surprised when he saw Chen Liu, and hurriedly said:
"Lord Chen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Princes are in Qingyun Pavilion. I'll call you to see you."
Chen Liu glanced at Taiwa, and Taiwa left directly sulking.
He could only sigh, and then said:
"Lead the way."
"Lord Chen, please."
Qingyun Pavilion is the highest attic in the entire Hanxiang Courtyard.
It is enough to have a bird's-eye view of the entire Hanxiang Courtyard and enjoy the meandering and clear waters of the Huai'an River.
The spring breeze is ten miles, the flowers and trees are sandalwood, and the flavor is very high.
When Chen Liu was brought here by the guards, he saw the uncles and nephews Li Wan and Li An, the king of Huainan, talking and laughing in the attic, and they didn't know what they were talking about, they just felt that the atmosphere was harmonious and natural, as if they were father and son.
"Your Highness, Lord Wang, the superintendent has asked Lord Chen Liu to see you."
Li Wan immediately commanded:
"Let him come up."
"Yes."
Chen Liu's brain was running rapidly at this time, and he only hoped that the crown prince would not let himself face the contradiction with the king of Huainan.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, join the Prince."
"Excuse me."
After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished speaking, Chen Liu also raised his head.
I was a little farther away just now, and I couldn't see it very clearly. At this moment, he only felt that the temperament of the crown prince and the king of Huainan was somewhat similar.
One is a young prince who is full of energy and blood; One is a resolute, tall and proud local feudal lord who also feels gentle.
If these two people had not been suspicious, they might have been much better.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything to Chen Liu, but just asked:
"What do you think we called you for?"
"Wechen doesn't know."
Of course Chen Liu knows.
After meeting with the envoy of Yingzhou just now, he urgently summoned him to come, obviously for the matter of the overseas Sanshan.
As for the extent to which it was for him to take the opportunity to observe the situation of the King of Huainan, it is not very clear.
"Pretending to be confused, huh? I'll make it clear to you. Yingzhou in the three mountains of the East China Sea decided to form an alliance with Daliang, Penglai is considered hostile, and as for the abbot, his attitude is vague and unknown for the time being."
said such confidential information so straightforwardly, which made Chen Liu a little flattered. King Huainan also looked sideways at him and glanced at Chen Liu.
In his heart, Chen Liu is obviously the confidant of the crown prince Li Wan.
Afterwards, Li Wan handed Chen Liu a scroll, which recorded all the information that the envoy of Yingzhou had said.
The Three Mountains Overseas are qi practitioners who have been independent from the inland thousands of years ago.
They are regarded as the inheritors of the ancient qi practitioners, and Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism occupy the majority of them.
Among them, Penglai is the strongest, but it is a mixture of various factions, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, demons, and witches, and there are thousands of factions.
The abbot is the most mysterious, mainly ascetics and Buddhism. Chinese Net
They uphold the basic concept that the world will sit firmly in the mountains without chaos, and they are the cleanest existence among the three mountains that are cut off from the inland.
In the midst of the chaos that will not be present, they are still reluctant to intervene in the world, and want the secular dynasty to decide everything for themselves.
As for Yingzhou, which the old man represents, his attitude is very distinct.
They feel that the general trend is inevitable, so they must enter the WTO ahead of schedule and plan for everything.
Among them, they chose to cooperate with Daliang.
Their initial sincerity lies in revealing some information about the three mountains overseas. As for further cooperation, it will be necessary to wait until the envoys sent by Daliang to Yingzhou to negotiate with them in person.
This is a relatively fair way, and Yingzhou contacted Daliang first, which showed some kind of goodwill to Daliang.
Of course, in this information, Chen Liu also keenly captured the record of the Demon Ancestor's token.
This information is considered to be a bonus information.
I don't know if the old man didn't know much or if he was hiding something, and there wasn't much recorded on it. More of a basic description of the token.
Chen Liu only glanced at it a few times, and after remembering the information on it, he returned the scroll to the crown prince.
So the prince asked:
"What do you think?"
This scroll is good, the paper in the scroll is good, and the words on the paper are also good.
This is the answer that Chen Liu wants to say, but it is an answer that cannot be said.
He thought for a moment and only said:
"Whether it's true or not, good or evil, we still have to send envoys to investigate to find out."
"That's a good point. And the house shall give thee the scepter of the king, and shall make thee an envoy, and in three days shall send thee upon the three mountains."
「?」
Chen Liu didn't look forward to pies falling from the sky, but he didn't have this kind of operation of sitting at home with nothing to do and tasking from the sky, right?
What about the Ministry of Rites! Taijoji Temple!
