Lu Xius knelt down on one knee and saluted the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, which surprised everyone present, even Du Liniang and the others were very surprised.

In the eyes of Du Liniang and others, Lucius has always been a person who would rather bend, even if he faces the Pope of the Holy See in the West, I am afraid he may not kneel down to salute him, let alone now that he is in the East, the two in front of him are just the kings of the East.

Originally, Du Liniang had planned to step forward to help Lucius round the field, worried that Lucius would be criticized by everyone present because he was unwilling to bow to the two saints, and even be blamed and punished by the two saints.

Moreover, before Lucius suddenly saluted, he had obviously made it clear that he did not seem to be willing to bow to the two saints of the Tang Empire, and it was his words that made the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress come down from the high platform and personally come in front of him.

But Lucius really surprised everyone by doing this, and no one would have thought that he would take the initiative to kneel down and salute.

You must know that in the West, kneeling down on one knee and bowing down to bow is already considered an absolute gift, usually only when meeting the monarch of the empire, or meeting the popes of the Holy See and the temple, the knights and magicians under their command will kneel down on one knee to perform this great salute.

Now, by saluting on one knee to the two saints, Lucius has already shown that in the eyes of Lecius, he has recognized the status of the two saints, and he has also admitted that he will be attached to the two saints.

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress were also stunned when they saw this, and it took a long time for the Holy Emperor to come to his senses, and he leaned over with a smile and helped Lucius up with his own hands and said, "Hehe, Lucius, you don't need to be polite, you are a guest when you come from afar, how can you let the guest perform this great gift as the host?"

The merchants of the Western Regions of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress Tongguò, as well as some classics about the West that have been handed down a long time ago, are naturally well aware of the significance of Lucius kneeling on one knee.

The two people in charge of the Tang Empire knew very well that Lecius kneeling down on one knee was to show the two of them that he had entered the Eastern Tang Empire. In his heart, he has recognized the status of the two saints, and will practice the loyalty that a courtier should pursue.

The Holy Empress glanced at the Holy Emperor and saw that the Holy Emperor quietly glanced at her, so she smiled and said, "Hehe, Lucius, you are really polite, in fact, Your Majesty is right, you are a guest from afar, not our courtier, so you don't need to give us such a big courtesy." ”

Lucius was helped up by the Holy Emperor. Standing there, he bowed his head slightly and responded to the two saints: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, the Holy Empress Niangniang, in fact, Lucius gave you this great gift to show you that Lucius is willing to belong to the Second Sage, become a courtier of the Second Sage, and do something for the Tang Empire and even the entire East." ”

"Hahaha, what a big breath, Your Highness Lucius, you are Your Highness of the West. Now that you have expressed your heart to the two saints, saying that you are willing to belong to the two saints, what is this? Do you want to represent the city in the sky and submit your credentials to the two saints?"

Lucius's voice just fell. Suddenly, a familiar voice came, and when Lucius turned his head to look, he saw Li Wuchen slowly walking in from outside the garden.

Li Wuchen came all the way, and the ministers who came to watch the ceremony. One by one, they hurriedly bowed down to salute him, and it could be seen that Li Wuchen did have an extraordinary status in the eyes of the ministers of the Tang Empire.

Li Wuchen smiled and walked slowly. He looked at Lecius without humility or arrogance, and asked the previous question again: "Your Highness Lucius, since you are the inheritor of Sky City, you have expressed your heart to the Second Sage, can you be regarded as submitting credentials for Sky City?"

Seeing Li Wuchen again, Lu Xiusi was not surprised, after all, the other party was the imperial grandson of the Tang Empire, and he was the most beloved imperial grandson of the two saints.

It's just that what Lucius didn't expect was that the other party's attitude of speaking really made him feel a little puzzled, and he could clearly hear the strong hostility from the other party's words, which was an atmosphere that regarded him as a deep enemy.

Although he had caught the other party in Fusang, and there was a conflict between the two sides at that time, Lucius never thought that Li Wuchen would be so hostile to him.

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress also seemed to be aware of Li Wuchen's hostility towards Lucius, and the two of them looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, but the Holy Empress said very calmly: "Hehe, Wuchen, you young people should get along well." ”

Li Wuchen bowed to the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress very humbly, and then said to Lucius with a smile: "Hehe, we will naturally get along well, but His Highness Lucius doesn't seem to have answered my question yet?"

Lu Xius was naturally very unhappy in the face of Li Wuchen's aggressiveness, after all, the other party was just a child of the royal family, and his status was only equal to his own.

But since the Second Sage did not stop it, Lu Xius naturally knew that Li Wuchen had won the trust and favor of the Second Sage, and the Second Sage obviously wanted Li Wuchen to take the opportunity to test and suppress himself.

Du Liniang and the others saw that the atmosphere had become tense, and knowing that Lu Xius had obviously been provoked, everyone couldn't help but start to be a little worried, worried that Lu Xius would really start to fight with the other party here because of his anger for a while.

You must know that no matter how powerful Lucius is, but this is someone else's place, if he really makes a move, I'm afraid Lucius won't be able to get any benefits.

Everyone began to worry, worried that Lu Xiusi would really be provoked by the other party, so in front of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress of the Tang Empire, he directly attacked Li Wuchen, the favorite emperor and grandson of the Second Sage, if that was the case, I am afraid that the matter would really make a big fuss.

Du Liniang stepped forward slowly, came to Lucius's side, smiled and bowed to the second saint: "I have seen the Holy Emperor Xià and the Holy Empress Niangniang, the slave Du Liniang, who used to be an envoy sent to the West by the Han Empire, but I didn't expect that when I came back after a lot of hardships, the Han Dynasty no longer exists." ”

Hearing Du Liniang's words, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen were immediately attracted by him, and the eyes of the two saints moved from Lucius's body to Du Liniang's body.

It is no secret that the Han sent people to the West, but everyone thought that the Han had failed, and those who were sent to the West were probably all dead in the Sand Sea, and even if they did not die in the Sand Sea, they would have already died of old age in the West.

No one would have thought that such a living person would actually come back from the West and now stand in front of him.

The Holy Emperor looked at Du Liniang with a smile, and asked with some doubts: "You are actually the person sent to the West by the Han Dynasty at the beginning, and you can actually come back alive?"

As soon as the Holy Emperor's words fell, before Du Liniang and the others could reply, Lu Xiusi suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is something wrong with what you said? ”

Lucius's words caused an uproar at the scene, and everyone present was shocked, and the garden, which was originally a little noisy, became extremely quiet in the blink of an eye.

It can be said that in any dynasty in the Middle Earth of the East, it is clear to anyone that the king of the dynasty cannot be questioned, and questioning the king, especially this kind of face-to-face questioning, is simply provoking the majesty of the king, and will definitely be punished very harshly.

After hearing Lucius's words, even Du Liniang's face was full of shock, she couldn't believe her ears at all, she couldn't believe that Lucius would actually say such provocative words?

But in the face of everyone's eyes, Lu Xius still didn't have any intention of bowing his head, but continued to say to Li Wuchen: "Li Wuchen, did what you just said your own meaning, or the meaning of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress?"

"If the Second Sage wants me to dedicate the national letter on behalf of Sky City, then I can do it, as long as the Second Sage has the courage to accept it, if it is Li Wuchen's own will, then I think you are provoking me. ”

Du Liniang's eyes widened, and she looked at Lucius incredulously, wondering why Lucius suddenly became so strong?

Most of the people present looked at Lucius with wide eyes, and everyone thought that he had lost his mind and gone crazy? Dare to speak without scruples in front of the two saints, every sentence can be said to be aggressive, and there is simply no emotion left.

The Holy Queen's face had become gloomy, and she stared at Lucius as if she didn't want to say anything more, and even if it weren't for the presence of the Holy Emperor, I'm afraid she would have ordered Lucius to be arrested.

Similarly, Li Wuchen's face was full of anger, and after seeing the anger on the Holy Queen's face, he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Lucius is indeed a descendant of the city that once dominated the sky of the world, I didn't expect you to be so arrogant, you really don't take others in your eyes at all." ”

In the face of Li Wuchen's words, Lucius did not show weakness, and continued to smile and said: "I am a straight intestine, and I don't want to go around the bend with others. ”

As he spoke, Lucius directly took off the metal box on his waist, held the metal box in front of the two saints and said: "Holy Emperor Xià, Holy Queen Niangniang, inside this iron box is the inheritance of Sky City, if you want me to hand it over, Lucius will never say anything, and I can hand it over to you now." ”

As soon as they heard that the metal iron box in Lucius's hand actually contained the inheritance of the Sky City, everyone present looked at the unsightly, even rusty iron box, and many people's snorts began to become heavy, obviously everyone coveted the iron box.

Li Wuchen stared at the iron box, eager to take it in his hand immediately, but he knew very well that now that the Second Saint was present, if he made a move, it would definitely be a capital crime.

Suppressing the desire in his heart, Li Wuchen turned his head to look at the Holy Queen, expecting that the Holy Queen would be able to take action and take the iron box, he felt that if the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen accepted it, then the iron box would be his own sooner or later.

The Holy Queen really wanted to accept it, and wanted to reach out to take it, but was stopped by the Holy Emperor.

Immediately after that, in front of everyone's eyes, the Holy Emperor actually pushed the iron box back, patted the back of Lucius's hand with a smile and said, "Lucius, I believe in you, and I recognize you as my ally, you don't need to offer anything to me, let alone submit the so-called credentials. ”

The Holy Emperor's words made everyone confused, and everyone couldn't understand why the Holy Emperor actually wanted Lucius to become an ally of the Tang Empire......, even though Lucius was almost at a complete disadvantage?
