Chapter 135 A failed provocation
Qingshuang frowned and looked at him and asked, "Since Lord Chen was able to obtain the image-retaining talisman stone, why is there no subsequent battle footage? Did you deliberately keep it, or did you do something?"
Lord Chen was startled and said nervously, "Our people were discovered and had to evacuate, so we didn't see what happened later."
Qing Shuang snorted coldly, "Master Chen, do you think I'm easy to fool? The strength of the Demon Emperor and the Demon Generals is at least at the ninth level of the Innate Realm. Not to mention that your subordinates are not at the Innate Realm, even if they are cultivators at the sixth level of the Innate Realm, they can't escape hiding under their Yuan Shen.
The one who can lurk behind them and use the image-recording stone to record these scenes must be at least of the same level, and must also be good at concealing his aura.
Even I can't use the image-recording stone to record these scenes under the eyes of these people.
"Master Chen, do you have any cultivators who are more powerful than me? If so, why not let one of you take the position of the Imperial Master?"
Lord Chen was completely panicked. Lord Qu immediately pointed at him and asked, "Lord Chen, where did you get this talisman stone? Who gave it to you? Why don't you tell the truth? What is your intention in wanting Canglong and Qianyuan to go to war at this time?"
Lord Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and was completely at a loss as to what to do.
"Imperial Master, please forgive my rudeness, but if the Demon Emperor leads these people in the video to attack the imperial palace, will the Imperial Master and the immortals in the palace have any way to resist them?" asked Lord Bao, bowing and clasping his fists.
"I'm ashamed. I can only stop one demon general at most. I'm definitely no match for the man who practices the Scarlet Blood Demon Art, let alone the Demon Emperor and all the demon generals. As for the cultivators in the palace, their highest is only the sixth level of innateness. They're lucky to escape alive."
Upon hearing Qingshuang's comments, the ministers in the court were shocked again. They did not expect that the Demon Emperor had such powerful strength. This was completely on a different level.
Lord Bao glared at Lord Chen, snorted coldly, glanced at all the ministers and said, “Since the Demon Emperor has this power, then it is completely unnecessary to attack the emperor. In that case, there is only one answer to what happened just now.
Someone pretended to be the Demon Emperor, killed our Emperor, and attempted to start a war between the Canglong Empire and Qianyuan. Lord Chen, why don't you tell me who ordered this war and what is the purpose of starting this war? "
Master Chen shuddered with fear. Seeing Master's angry expression, he knelt down hurriedly and shouted to the outside: "Senior, save me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly shook and he fell to the ground with a painful expression. He could no longer speak. Blood appeared on his body and turned into bloody water in a few seconds.
Seeing this scene, everyone believed that this was a conspiracy against the Canglong Empire.
Hou Xiang came out and clasped his fists and said, "My Lords, the Emperor has been killed. Now we must choose a new Emperor from among the princes and ask for peace with Qian Yuan, otherwise Cang Long will be in danger."
"How do you think we should ask for peace, Prime Minister? Qian Yuan is so powerful now, and I'm afraid we don't have many bargaining chips." General Kong asked immediately.
"The Demon Emperor is lustful. Originally, all the families in our country sent beautiful women to him. Why don't we form an alliance with him by marrying him? And send him treasures used by cultivators as dowry. Perhaps we can win his favor." An adult said.
In fact, most of the ministers had the same idea, because they couldn’t think of anything else that would make the Demon Emperor happy.
Hou Xiang looked at Qing Shuang and asked, "Master, do you think this is feasible?"
"Currently, all the people around the Demon Emperor, from his concubines to the Empress, are cultivators, and the Lady of Flowers has even reached the sixth level of the Innate Flower Spirit. I guess that the Demon Emperor must have practiced a profound dual cultivation method, so all of them are cultivators.
You have to choose one that he likes. As for the treasures used by cultivators, if they are not at the level of immortal treasures, it is better not to give them away." Qingshuang said calmly. She never asked about the affairs of the court.
If it hadn't endangered the empire this time, she wouldn't have participated.
Lord Bao said, "This matter needs to be discussed with the princes and the queen."
·········· Ten days later, Zhou An and the concubines practiced dual cultivation all night. They got up early in the morning and had breakfast together in the hall as usual. Then they left to do their own things.
This was Zhou An's request. The family should sleep and eat together. Only Zhou An himself knew whether this was an excuse he made up. Anyway, they all didn't hate it.
The art of Yin and Yang is beneficial to everyone. It not only improves one's cultivation, but also one's realm and spirit. Moreover, one can enjoy bliss with one's man. Who would refuse it?
After they all left, Zhou An looked at the map of mountains, rivers, and the country, and continued to go out to sign in, striving to light up all the surface territory of Qianzhou within a year.
Suddenly a sword light flew in from outside. He stretched out his hand, the sword light fell on his palm, and a paragraph of words appeared.
This was sent by the cultivator beside Zhou Yang, saying that Zhou Yang and the Queen of Feng Kingdom would arrive in Qianjing in a few days.
Zhou An smiled, stopped today's schedule, walked out of the hall and said, "Prepare a banquet at noon to receive the Right Prime Minister and the Queen of Fengguo, and notify the Queen to accompany them."
The purple-robed guard in the dark used a magic trick and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Near noon, Zhou Yang and Feng Wanxi's motorcade arrived at the palace. Led by the Purple Guards, Zhou Yang and Feng Wanxi came to Qianyang Palace. Zhou An and Shangguan Rong prepared a table of exquisite dishes. There were not many dishes, enough for four people.
After they arrived, Feng Wanxi came in a bit nervously. Zhou An smiled and said, "Brother San and Sister-in-law, please come in. We have just prepared the wine and food."
Feng Wanxi was surprised to hear Zhou An address her as such, and even Zhou Yang was secretly surprised. The emperor called her "third brother", which would never happen before. However, calling her "third brother" and "third sister-in-law" made Zhou Yang feel inexplicably warm in his heart.
After being surprised, Feng Wanxi's nervousness suddenly lessened by half. She smiled and saluted, "Your Highness."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhou Yang also saluted and said, "Your Majesty."
"This is not the imperial court, so there's no need to be polite between brothers. Come on, I'll prepare some food and wine you haven't tasted before, come and try them." Zhou An pulled the two of them into the restaurant next door.
There were only six dishes on the table, but they made people drool at the sight of them. Shangguan Rong personally prepared bowls and chopsticks for them. When she saw the two people coming in, she came over and asked them to sit down.
When Zhou Yang and Feng Wanxi saw her, they hurriedly bowed and called her "Queen".
Shangguan Rong smiled and said, "Third brother, you don't know that in this harem, even without the emperor and empress, we are all family. Come on, sit down and eat. There's no need to be so formal."
Both of them found it incredible. Zhou Yang had never encountered such a thing when he was a child. When he saw the empress or the emperor, he had to bow immediately, otherwise he would be blamed.
After the four of them sat down, the queen picked up the wine jug and poured it for everyone. She smiled and said, "This is the wine that my husband made outside. It tastes very good. Third brother and third sister-in-law, please have a taste."
After the four of them raised their glasses and drank, Zhou Yang and Feng Wanxi both showed surprised expressions. The wine was so delicious, and they felt their stomachs warm after drinking it, which turned into spiritual energy and was absorbed by them.
"Good wine!" Zhou Yang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Okay, come on, I have a few bottles here, let's drink enough at noon." Zhou An said, and Shangguan Rong immediately poured them wine.
Feng Wanxi quickly picked up the wine jug and said, "Let me do it."
Shangguan Rong said: "This is a family dinner, so we don't need to be polite."
After the four of them finished eating these exquisite and simple side dishes, Zhou An invited them to the living room and asked the palace maid to serve tea. Then Zhou An waved his hand, and the Nine Phoenix Blue Phoenix Cloak, Peacock Needle, Dapeng Golden Wings, Thunderbird Golden Crown, and Gale Demon Sword that he had obtained in the Phoenix Forest appeared on the table.
Third sister-in-law, this thing has been returned to its original owner. I hope you don’t mind. The State Master of Phoenix Country captured Lady Baihua’s master and used him to refine the Twin Phoenix Swords, but I killed him.
"It's you!" Feng Wanxi showed a surprised expression, looked at the things on the table, and said with a sigh: "I didn't expect that the young man who took it out was the emperor."
