Section 64-for-tat
Section 64: Qilin Xinglan and the envoy of the beast clan are-for-tat in words
Soon after, the envoys of the two clans, led by Skiki and Liluo, arrived in the hall where the dragon knights used to summon their courtiers in the palace of the Emerald Palace.
The leader of the beast clan is the god of the White Tiger Wenxin,
Of course, in addition to the powerhouse of the White Tiger Clan, there were more than a dozen gods from many different races in the entire envoy group.
Long Wei knew that the Beast Clan was originally a huge force condensed by hundreds of races, such as the Demon Wolf Clan, to which the blue wolf belonged, was one of them.
It's just that because the White Tiger Clan is the strongest, accounting for almost more than half of the entire Beast Clan's power, the throne of the Holy Beast Kings of the past dynasties has been held by the peak powerhouses of this clan.
The only thing that puzzled Long Wei was that among the envoys of the beast clan, there were two gods of the phoenix clan who were also in the ranks.
Maybe it's an excuse that they want to welcome back the prince and princess of their clan!
Long Wei guessed in his heart.
On the other hand, the envoy group led by Princess Qilin herself, the number of gods and powerhouses is not inferior to that of the beast clan, and all of them are pure bloodlines of the Qilin clan.
However, as if they were going to part with another envoy group, there was also a Phoenix Clan god behind the Qilin Xinglan.
It seems that this matter is not as simple as imagined, it seems that the Qilin Emperor and the Holy Beast King have their own plans for each other, so they will invariably send envoys.
Or maybe these two parties have actually discussed it in advance, and they are ready to put pressure on the dragon knight together to force him to hand over the phoenix Ji.
Both possibilities look quite promising.
After seeing the Qilin Xinglan lead the envoy to appear, Feng Wu nodded slightly to him, and the latter responded with a smile.
The Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan have been friends for generations, and their friendship with each other is very deep, and these two royal princesses are close friends who talk about everything.
When Emperor Nirvana was surrounded by countless elite troops of the Great Demon God King and was about to fall, Feng Xuanang originally expected that Emperor Qilin, who was at least his friend, would send troops to help, but in the end, this only remaining hope was completely disappointed.
Compared with personal friendship, the Qilin Emperor still takes the interests of his own race as the highest consideration after all.
Long Wei, who didn't know what the intention of the beast clan and the unicorn clan were sending envoys at the same time, although his heart was full of confusion and puzzlement, he still said quietly and in a calm tone on the surface, "The envoys of the two clans suddenly came to ask to see me, and I heard that it is related to the princess of the Phoenix clan who is temporarily staying here, right?"
"That's true!"
The first person to speak was Qilin Xinglan, and she said in a soft and beautiful voice, "Presumably, His Majesty the Dragon Knight also knows that at this moment, due to the large-scale invasion of the Demon Clan, not only has he captured most of the original territory of the Phoenix Clan, but the Great Demon God King has personally beheaded the Phoenix Emperor in the Battle of the Nirvana Imperial Capital. 」
"I know all this news, it's all from what happened last month. 」
Long Wei replied lightly.
Qilin Xinglan is the eldest daughter of the Qilin Emperor, her beautiful appearance is like jade carefully carved without any flaws, and her dark eyes are as quiet as water without the slightest variegation.
Her long black and shiny satin-like shawl hair is very soft and smooth, and with the clean and elegant white dress on her body, the whole person exudes an elegant and moving temperament.
Then the princess of the Qilin clan said, "It is also because of this relationship that my friend His Royal Highness Feng Wu not only has to face the tragic situation of the ruined country and family, but also is forced to go into exile with his immature brother. Therefore, my Qilin clan originally held the morality that I should have as an alliance clan, and wanted to welcome the princess and prince of the Phoenix clan who had fled abroad to return to my clan, and replace His Majesty Xuan Ang, who had died in battle, to revive this clan. 」
However, when Qilin Ji finished speaking about her intentions, White Tiger Wenxin, who was polite and polite, but the powerful aura exuded from her body did not dare to be underestimated in the slightest, immediately followed and said, "Your Highness Xinglan, there is a big problem with what you said. At the beginning, the Five Clans decided that the Beast Clan would be solely responsible for all the things related to the future revival of the Phoenix Clan, but why did the Qilin Clan still want to change the hexagram temporarily?"
"At that time, the other four clans only agreed that the beast clan would be responsible for sending troops to aid the Phoenix Clan, and as for the next series of things, it was all arbitrary and independent actions of His Majesty Shura, a nobleman. Even after repelling the invasion of the demons, the army of the beasts still did not retreat in the territory of the Phoenix Clan, which made people wonder if there were any ulterior motives. 」
Qilin Xinglan replied with a-for-tat indifferent attitude, with no intention of backing down.
Although this princess of the Qilin clan looks very beautiful, her tone of speech is also quite polite, which makes people feel good.
But when it comes to the interests of his own race, his words are as sharp as a sword out of the sheath.
However, since White Tiger Wenxin was chosen by the Holy Beast King as the plenipotentiary envoy for this visit to Shangri-La, it was naturally impossible for him to be refuted to the point that he had nothing to say because of this, and said lightly: "How can my clan have any ulterior motives, although the demon invasion army was temporarily repelled under the heroic battle of His Majesty Shura, it will come back again at any time. In order to prevent the innocent people of the Phoenix Clan from being tragically attacked again, our clan had no choice but to garrison troops in the local area to defend the work under the condition that it was duty-bound. 」
"Really, if the Orcs really have such a noble temperament, how could my friend His Highness Feng Wu be forced to flee from the Nirvana Imperial Capital with his younger brother?"
For Qilin Xinglan's ruthless questioning, Baihu Wenxin said in a guilty tone: "When His Majesty Shura of our clan rescued the Imperial Capital of Nirvana, he accidentally had some misunderstandings and conflicts with His Royal Highness Feng Wu, and since then, he has been haunted by this matter, so today he specially ordered Weichen to come to Shangri-La to meet His Majesty the Dragon Knight. In addition to welcoming the princess and prince of the Phoenix clan back to the imperial capital, he will also do his best to help him revive the Phoenix clan again based on the morality of the alliance. 」
This White Tiger Clan's words were indeed the way to go, if Long Wei hadn't known the ins and outs of the whole thing, maybe he would have thought that there was some possibility.
Of course, Qilin Ji also immediately expressed his intention, saying, "It just so happens that His Majesty the Emperor of our clan also has this intention, so he will send an envoy to come, the Qilin Clan and the Phoenix Clan have had a very deep friendship for generations, and it would be better to help His Highness Feng Wu reinvigorate the work of his clan, and it would be better for my clan to take over it." 」
"Oh! I really didn't expect the friendship of the Qilin clan to be really worthless!"
After receiving White Tiger Wen Xin saying this in a tone full of sarcasm, even if the Qilin Xinglan's cultivation was good, he couldn't help but get angry because of it, and said slightly angrily: "Your Highness Wen Xin, if you don't retract that insulting sentence just now and apologize immediately, my Qilin Clan can only regard this as a provocation by the Beast Clan, and I am bound to make the most serious protest to His Majesty the noble Shura. 」
"Why should His Highness Xinglan be angry, what I said is true and not false. I think that when the imperial capital of the Phoenix clan was attacked and beaten by the demon army, only His Majesty Shura of our clan led the army to help without hesitation based on the morality of the alliance, and therefore fought hard with the enemy's Prison Blood Demon God King for several days before finally repelling the invaders, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses. The Qilin Clan keeps saying that it has an incomparably deep relationship with the Phoenix Clan, but it ignores this matter, so what's wrong with me using cheap to describe this friendship?"
Not to be outdone, Kirin Ji said, "At that time, my Kirin Clan was also being attacked by an army led by other Demon God Kings, so I couldn't reach out to help the Phoenix Clan for a while. I would like to ask His Highness Wen Xin what the aristocratic intentions are, after repelling the invading demon forces, they actually take Nirvana for themselves? They don't even allow the armies of the other four clans to enter, it's like they regard the imperial capital of the Phoenix clan as their sphere of influence. 」
"The Phoenix Imperial Capital was recaptured from the hands of the demon invaders after a bloody battle by the soldiers of our army, and the other four clans did not contribute anything but wanted to share the results of the battle together, I would like to ask His Highness Xinglan, have the nobles always been so shameless in their actions?"
Seeing that the two incomparably noble gods were arguing with each other in the Audience Hall, Long Wei, who was the supreme lord of this place, showed an indifferent expression, as if he had no intention of taking sides.
