Chapter 4: Burning the Sky (5)
A few days later, Yeluyun's worries turned into facts, and the hanging sea agreement reached between Que Ning and Yeluyun finally reached Nanxiang City through different channels, and no one was not shocked by this at first hearing.
In the council hall, the face of the Emperor of Heaven was extremely solemn, and the Southern Phase Venerable was second only to himself, but even the Emperor of Heaven must be restricted by the laws of Heaven, and Que Ning's move to ignore the laws of Heaven and ignore Heaven was really undeserved, but it was not easy to move such a big member, not to mention that it was now in chaos, and it was unknown whether Southern Xinjiang would be affected if Bird Ning was lost.
"This move of Lord Nanxiang is very inappropriate, how can I be a dignified man and a righteous person, how can I be in the company of evil people! If it is a thing, I will impeach the South Minister!" Su Yuzhi is a rough man, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he severely criticized Que Ning, and his status was much lower than that of Nan Xiang.
"Yes! Even if the situation is unfavorable, you can't join forces with the demons, that's raising tigers, and if you let the demons sit on this side, it will be difficult to suppress them." Rujin Zhenren also echoed this proposal, but the words were milder.
Even Rujin Zhenren said this, and the others no longer hesitated, and the Nanxiang Mansion of Ruoda almost unanimously accused Que Ning of sneaking away.
Of course, it is not that no one has tried to find a reason for Que Ning's behavior, some say that it is a force to fight, and some say that it is a stopgap measure, but no matter what you say, you can't erase the impact of this agreement.
The Emperor of Heaven didn't say a word, and after listening to so many people's words, his mood became heavier and heavier, not only because Que Ning joined forces with the demons, but also because Que Ning did not report to him for instructions from beginning to end, and did not report to Heaven after the agreement was made, completely treating Heaven as nothing, as if he had set up a small Heaven on his own, although this is the southern Xinjiang and the territory under her control, but the affairs of the demons are related to the overall situation, and there is no reason to compromise with the evil things for the sake of the small troubles in front of them.
"Your Majesty! This matter must not be traced, please immediately issue an order to the Heavenly Punishment Division, deal with it according to the laws of heaven, and immediately abolish her position as the Southern Minister."
"Abolish her?" the Emperor was stunned.
"Yes! Destroy her."
Gao Wu's fist Su Yuzhi didn't notice the expression of the Heavenly Emperor, his face turned red with excitement, it seemed that the light of the southern frontier would come, and the demon would naturally retreat.
The Emperor of Heaven glanced left and right expressionlessly, and the eyes of the courtiers in the hall flickered, some excited, some angry, some echoed loudly, and some secretly shook their heads, their opinions were obviously inconsistent, and their hearts sank suddenly.
Nan Xiang violated the law of heaven, allied with the demons without authorization, and promised to cede the southwest land to the demons, this is a clear thing, the criminal law of heaven, no matter who must be locked according to the law of heaven immediately, but if the attitude of most people in a large hall is ambiguous, and they refuse to express their opinions, it is not that they do not distinguish between right and wrong, but that the person who violates the law is the dignified south minister, a prince, so that the prestige and influence of the south minister surpasses the majesty of the law of heaven, this is a very serious matter, if you ignore it, From now on, the power of individuals will inevitably override the laws of heaven, and the system of Mingyuan Heaven will collapse as a result, and the impact will be no less than that of demon invasion.
Thinking of this, his mood was unusually heavy, and at this time, he gave an order to "catch the bird", and no one in the hall dared to object, but they may not be convinced in their hearts, especially when the demon army is eyeing it, the opposition within southern Xinjiang must be great.
As the emperor of heaven, my first responsibility is to ensure the dignity of the law of heaven, otherwise what face will succeed as the emperor, it seems that this matter must not be soft, and must be severely punished to show the power of the law of heaven, but the reputation of the bird is very high, how to do it......
Rujin Zhenren seemed to capture his thoughts, shook the dust and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you summon the southern minister to come and inquire about the combat readiness of the southwest, and if you have any questions, you can ask them face to face."
The Emperor of Heaven nodded happily, and immediately ordered to send Rujin Zhenren to Qinyang Bay as an envoy of the Heavenly Court, and at this time, he could only use this and Wen's means to invite Que Ning back to Nanxiang City before discussing.
After all, Nanxiang City is the foundation of Que Ning, even if the Emperor of Heaven is in charge, there will be people who will tell her everything, this matter naturally can't escape Que Ning's ears, if she enters the real person before she arrives at Qinyang Bay, she already understands the meaning of Heavenly Court, and her heart is cold.
It is not a wrong thing for the Emperor of Heaven to be bent on upholding the power of the laws of heaven, but when this demonic disaster is rampant, the southern Xinjiang is in danger, and he wants to attack her regardless of the worries of war, which makes people feel that the cart is turned upside down, how can they not be cold.
But she didn't keep her voice and warmly received Rujin Zhenren.
Rujin Zhenren didn't expect that Nan Xiang had already seen everything, and he was embarrassed to see her so enthusiastic, so he was polite for a while before entering the main tent, his eyes swept on the faces of Jing He, Yuan Shi and Lian Puyu, and finally sat in the guest seat.
Que Ning sat upright, and after thinking about it in his heart, he asked with a smile, "When did your lord come? Didn't you come to inspect the defense of my Qinyang Bay?"
"This ......" Rujin Zhenren didn't know where to start for a while, and he was silent.
Jing He chuckled and said, "If you come for defense, you can rest assured, although this Qinyang Bay is not impregnable, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are millions of demon troops, they can't take any advantage."
"How can I be worried, it is the Emperor of Heaven who wants to know more accurate information, so he ordered me to pass on Lord Nanxiang, if you have time, you can follow me to Nanxiang City, and let His Majesty the Emperor personally inquire about the defense here."
Que Ning said lightly: "The front-line affairs are busy, my lord can explain to me, why bother with this move, otherwise the Emperor of Heaven will send a servant to call me, why bother to work for real people."
Rujin Zhenren was stunned, and said: "I don't know much about military affairs, and I don't understand some things after listening to them, and I can't say it clearly when I go back, I'm afraid Your Majesty will blame you, please forgive me for your attention, or come with me, we will set off immediately, and we should solve the matter quickly."
Que Ning sneered in his heart, the expression on his face was still gentle, and he said with a smile: "Why should the real person be in such a hurry, I still have some important business to deal with here, and it is not too late to go if I have time after dealing with it."
Rujin Zhenren frowned and asked, "What is so important?"
Que Ning thought for a moment, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said, "The real person doesn't know, the demon has been stationed in Ziyangping, and I plan to use the demon man to deal with the demon army, so that they will both lose, and the heavenly realm will reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Rujin Zhenren was stunned for a moment, this was originally the main reason why the Emperor of Heaven wanted to summon Que Ning, but he didn't expect Bird Ning to take the initiative to tell the secret, if it was the truth, it didn't matter if he violated the law of heaven or not.
Que Ning changed his words and asked, "Didn't Heavenly Court send another messenger to urge reinforcements, why is it still missing?"
"This ......" is not a minister in charge of military affairs, and usually does not even take care of the affairs under his own jurisdiction, and cannot answer anything when asked.
Que Ning said lightly: "Heavenly Court can't be so untrustworthy, if you don't give soldiers, what will I do to hold the defensive line, 100,000 heavenly soldiers will resist 10 million demon soldiers, Heavenly Court will never want us to fight one against 100, right?"
"This and this...... Or adults, you can go to Nanxiang City and ask in person! It is not within my jurisdiction, and I cannot answer it."
"Humph! I've been there a few times, but I haven't even seen a single soldier until now, Heavenly Court is so inefficient, let's go to war with the demon army." Que Ning's face was slightly angry, and his sharp gaze turned around on Rujin Zhenren's face a few times, making this wise man look creepy and uncomfortable.
"Heavenly Court's strategy naturally depends on the overall situation, how can it be moved lightly because of a moment, the demon army is blocked by the water potential, and there will be no wind and waves for a while."
"Nonsense!" Qi Ning was furious, slapped the case, and sneered: "What you said lightly, what do you mean that you can't get up for a while, if the demons come to attack, will you come forward to kill the enemy or will the adults of Heavenly Court lead the troops forward?" I think it is better to let them come here to lead the troops to fight, I will go to Heavenly Court to live a comfortable life, and see who is still in the mood to say such nonsense."
"If you are in a hurry, as we all know, the strength of the celestial beings is outstanding, and the non-demons are comparable, and everyone believes that the heavenly soldiers will defeat the demon soldiers."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shi couldn't help laughing out loud, laughing like a real person embarrassed, very uncomfortable, Que Ning had a high status, pointing at his nose and scolding was bearable, Yuan Shi was nothing more than a handsome day, not as good as him, such ridicule was really unbearable.
"Jing Tianshuai is so ridiculous."
"It's nothing, I said why Heavenly Court has not given reinforcements, I originally thought that Heavenly Soldiers could block thousands with one, wouldn't we Heavenly Shuai have to block ten thousand with one, Lord Jing, Master Lian, we have a great responsibility!" If we can't kill 10,000 demon soldiers, I'm afraid we'll all have to go back to Heaven and sweep the ground."
Jing He and Lian Puyu also laughed loudly.
