Late at night, the Qingjiao Prince's Mansion was still brightly lit, but the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
In a main hall, Bai Qinglin frowned slightly, his eyes filled with anger, and said in a deep voice: "Can't find anyone?"
"Back to the king, the King of Hexi is not at his residence. The people from the Lu family said that he went out early in the morning and has not returned yet. No one knows where he has gone. Our people couldn't find anyone when they went to contact him. The people from the Lu family are also there.
Find him," Qingwei lowered his head and said.
After hearing this, Bai Qinglin, who was sitting upright, subconsciously clenched his fingers and crushed the gold-iron seat armrest with a cracking sound.
Can't find anyone at the critical moment? They are almost ready to set off. They are just waiting to work together to eliminate the two-headed monster entrenched in the mountains and seas. At this time, they tell him that Lu Guangkun doesn't know where he is!
Wouldn't the previous arrangements be in vain?
Although Lu Guangkun is not the main force in destroying the two-headed monster, Bai Qinglin is not confident in facing it alone. Without him now, let alone destroying the two-headed monster, he will simply die.
In order to get Lu Guangkun to cooperate, Bai Qinglin not only didn't care that he risked angering the Protectorate in his own name, but also didn't care that he allowed his subordinates to almost endanger tens of millions of people in the city. The outcome was crucial.
The moment is gone!
Feeling Bai Qinglin's anger, Qingwei muttered: "Your Majesty, the King of Hexi didn't run away quietly because of fear, right?"
"He dares!" Bai Qinglin stared, and then took a deep breath and said: "Although this person has a bad reputation, he will not back down when the things he promised are about to happen. It is amazing that life is the first priority in a crisis, and he also
I don't dare to completely offend my Bai family, so the possibility of running away quietly is very small."
"But..." Qingwei hesitated. Lu Guangkun didn't care about his reputation or face anymore. He might actually be able to run away.
Waving his hand, Bai Qinglin knew what he wanted to say, and said: "Go and ask the Lu family again, be sure to contact the person named Lu."
"Yes", Qingwei nodded, but did not leave. Instead, he said: "Your Majesty, what should we do if we can't contact King Hexi all the time? We have made preparations in other aspects, so we can't withdraw, right?"
More than a million troops have been mobilized, and all kinds of materials have been deployed to fully eliminate the two-headed monster. If we back down temporarily, it will not sound good and it will be embarrassing.
With a flash of eyes, Bai Qinglin said: "The plan remains unchanged. The two-headed monster must be eliminated tomorrow. Even if the person named Lu is missing, I will find a way. If the person named Lu never appears, I will go to the Lu family to ask for it afterwards."
An explanation!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Qingwei nodded and left.
But I was thinking, without the King of Hexi, how sure would the King be to deal with the two-headed monster? Should I ask for help from the master's family? Or ask for help from the court? But would the King do that unless it was absolutely necessary? Remember, that would be a sign of incompetence.
, it will be criticized. Does the king have other friends to help him? This should be the only possibility. There is nothing strange about the king having several friends in the myth realm. It’s just that when things are coming, who can spare their hands?
Assist boxing?
After Qingwei left, Bai Qinglin fell into deep thought for a short time. What was the man named Lu doing?
'He didn't dare to break his promise to me. He couldn't bear the consequences, but he couldn't find anyone at the moment... Wasn't he always plotting against Yunjing? Could there be some accident that I don't know about?
?But that Yunjing had been staying at the Duhu Mansion and never went there, and he didn't feel any strong movement around him. He couldn't find anyone named Lu. It would be best to ask that Yunjing, but at the moment there were people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel.
They're all here, but it's not good if it affects the court's diplomatic etiquette.'
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Bai Qinglin suddenly felt like he was riding a tiger.
The decision to destroy the two-headed monster cannot be stopped, but the man named Lu has disappeared. Where can he find a helper from the mythical realm? There is no such helper and he alone is not completely sure.
"What the hell is that guy named Lu doing?" Bai Qinglin was gnashing his teeth as he cursed in his heart.
After weighing the left and right, if it really didn't work, he decided to still fight with the two-headed monster, but that would not be for the purpose of destroying the opponent. He was really not sure that if he could let it return injured, it would be a smooth start and his face would be saved.
Already.
As for the complete elimination of the two-headed monster, we can only plan it later. There is no other way. Something went wrong on Lu Guangkun's side and disrupted his plan.
Little did they know that Lu Guangkun was already dead by now, and the Lu family members were even more anxious than Bai Qinglin because they couldn't contact him.
It should be noted that Lu Guangkun is the backbone of the Lu family. Without him, the Lu family will fall apart sooner or later, especially if Lu Guangkun offends so many people and does not show up for a long time, the entire Lu family does not know what kind of retaliation it will suffer!
This night seemed peaceful, but Bai Qinglin was asking people to look for Lu Guangkun, and the Lu family were also looking for him, but there was no one there, not even any news...
Early the next morning, it was still dark, and Bai Qinglin, who had been unable to contact Lu Guangkun, endured the anger of being teased and left Qingjiao City. The preliminary deployment had been completed, and he had to set off to fight where the two-headed monster was entrenched. However,
The purpose has changed, it is not to eliminate the opponent, but to consume the opponent's strength, but he himself has to bear huge risks.
There is nothing we can do about this. What could have happened unexpectedly?
If it were possible, Bai Qinglin wouldn't want to completely eliminate the two-headed monster. But judging from the encounter that day, he was really not sure. It was stupid to do it knowing that it was necessary. If it was because of his own risk,
But if he is seriously injured, causing the two-headed monster to take the opportunity to cause trouble, something big will happen!
At the same time, Zhao Yingming and the others also took action early in the morning. They put on grand formal attires and made sure that there was nothing wrong that would damage Long Guo's face before heading towards the Protector's Palace.
It can be said that their entire group was mobilized, and they even sent greetings to the direction of Qingjiao City in advance. All parties were actively cooperating with them. Some streets were under martial law, and tens of thousands of people were stepping up their arrangements.
After all, Zhao Yingming and the others represent the imperial court, and they are currently engaged in diplomatic contacts between countries. Even the subordinates of King Qingjiao have to cooperate. If something goes wrong, the court will blame King Qingjiao, and it will not be easy for him.
No matter what happens, once it rises to the level of the country, it is a big deal. Although the princes will not obey their orders, the people below them dare not not cooperate.
Of course, it is not the turn of the princes to come forward in person for this kind of thing, which is a kind of overstep. Otherwise, why don't you, a prince, come forward to receive envoys from other countries, do you still want to be independent?
When Zhao Yingming and the others arrived outside the Duhu Mansion, it was bright and clear. It was a rare good weather, cloudless, and a red sun was rising slowly on the horizon. The sun shone on the snow-covered world in a unique way.
Boom, with the arrival of Zhao Yingming and others, the gate of the Protectorate Mansion slowly opened, and the people stationed here ordered to come out to greet them. The atmosphere was very serious. This was not for Zhao Yingming and the others, but for Yunjing.
This is what outsiders see.
Yesterday they discussed how to approach Yunjing with Dragon Kingdom's second-class specifications. Of course, the so-called second-class specifications are more than that. This is just the beginning.
The door opened, Zhao Yingming and the others tidied up their appearance again, and then stepped into the Protectorate's Mansion in a hurry.
When they came to the reception hall, Zhao Yingming, Fang Jingtai and the others looked at each other, and their eye contact conveyed one meaning. They were all ready and could start at any time.
Immediately, Zhao Yingming said loudly: "Our Dragon Kingdom shines brightly in all directions and is the leader in the world. Its culture and civilization are unparalleled and everyone in the world yearns for it. We often have envoys coming from afar to establish diplomatic relations. We are ordered to do so."
Come to greet, come, and invite the envoys from the country.”
"Yes", someone immediately took the order and left.
The place had been properly decorated earlier. It was not the usual layout for a guest office, but a solemn reception look, with tables and various ritual utensils arranged.
Of course, this is not the real Dragon Kingdom receiving envoys from other countries, but just the initial contact. The real reception has to be carried out in the imperial capital. Their initial contact here is more to verify their identity. Once confirmed, they will
Head to the Imperial Capital.
It was impossible for Yunjing not to know about the arrival of these people. He had already made preparations for them to stay in their sleeves and settle down. When someone came to invite him, Yunjing, dressed in a strict dress, walked forward with his head held high.
Go to the drawing room.
This meeting was not to say hello to the people in the Protectorate and explain that he was on an envoy on behalf of Li Guo, but to actually contact the people from the Dragon Kingdom's Ministry of Etiquette. It had embarked on a real process. Neither party was meeting on behalf of individuals, but on behalf of each other.
The country behind you cannot tolerate any mistakes. Any disrespect will rise to the level of the country. At the same time, cowardice and flattery also represent the country behind you!
When he came to the door, Yun Jing stood tall and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Yun Jing, the envoy of Dali, went to the Dragon Kingdom with the emperor's order to establish diplomatic relations, which is related to all the people. The family and the country are together. The people's wishes are what they want to do."
"Zhao Yingming, the Minister of Rites of the Dragon Kingdom, is here. Please ask the envoy from the country to come forward and say something," Zhao Yingming said loudly in the hall.
After hearing this, Yunjing stepped forward and entered the hall. When the two met, their eyes instantly closed, and each of them couldn't help but have a myriad of thoughts in their hearts.
In Yunjing's view, Zhao Yingming was elegant and calm. Although he only had the cultivation of true artistic conception, he stood there with great bearing. That kind of confidence could not be faked. The Dragon Kingdom behind him gave him unparalleled foundation, which was enough to face him.
Be patient with everyone.
In Zhao Yingming's view, Yunjing is young and calm. Even if he is an envoy from a small country, he is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of his Dragon Kingdom officials. It really makes him look slightly sideways. That kind of calmness cannot be faked. Only those who have experienced strong winds and waves and even have enough confidence in themselves.
Confidence can be so calm.
It's not that he has never seen envoys from other countries, there are even quite a few. How should I put it? Some are obedient, some are smiling, some are groveling, and some are deliberately crying and thinking about the benefits of the Dragon Kingdom's charity. All kinds of postures make people laugh.
, which makes people look down upon.
On the contrary, it was Yunjing that made his eyes light up. Although Yunjing was not the most special one, it was definitely the one he looked forward to the most.
"The envoy from Liguo came all the way. We didn't know about it in advance and didn't go far to greet him. Please bear with me if I'm negligent and please sit down." Zhao Yingming extended his hand to guide him.
Yunjing held up his hands and said: "It's my first time to set foot in the Dragon Kingdom. I have no prior contact with you. I took the liberty to visit you in a hurry. I hope you don't mind reading this."
"Where, please"
The two sides sat down. In comparison, Long Guo's side was crowded with people, while Yun Jing's side looked a little shabby as he was the only one there. However, his calm posture diluted this point.
Then Zhao Yingming muttered: "I have been ordered to come to contact you. It concerns the face of our country and our country. There is no room for error. We need to verify the authenticity. Please forgive me."
This is tantamount to vilification. Yunjing's identity needs to be proven first, otherwise it will not be a joke.
Yun Jing said: "It should be so. I believe it is here. Please check it."
As he said this, Yunjing put the sealed documents he brought on the table here.
"I'm offended." Zhao Yingming nodded and motioned to the people next to him to come over and check.
After getting the things, Zhao Yingming began to inspect them one by one. He was very serious about every detail, and he always used his hands and showed full respect.
External things are easily counterfeited, but some things cannot be counterfeited, and fake ones cannot be real. As an official of the Dragon Kingdom's Rites Department, Zhao Yingming has his own means of inspection. His eyes flash with mysterious light and he uses secret techniques. The seals and documents in Yunjing can be seen by ordinary people.
Things he couldn't see appeared one by one in his eyes.
As the document and seal of a country's envoy, it has the blessing of the country's destiny and the people's support. These things cannot be counterfeited.
'It seems that the rumors are true. There is indeed a free and happy realm in Liguo, and he is still very young. The national destiny has its own destiny to support it, and the people's aspirations are prosperous. This country actually has a momentum of rapid progress. It's a pity that I can't
I can't see much, but it's enough to prove his status as an envoy.'
As his thoughts flashed, Zhao Yingming checked them one by one, put the things away with both hands, and immediately stood up and looked at Yunjing, cupping his hands and saying: "I'm sorry, the identity of the envoy from your country has been confirmed without a doubt. On behalf of the Dragon Kingdom, I welcome the envoy from the country."
When you arrive, our Dragon Kingdom will be responsible for your safety next, and we will try our best to satisfy you. However, your envoy is new here, so he may not understand many things in our Dragon Kingdom. If you have any questions, just ask them, and we will answer them.
Solve the doubts one by one”
After confirming Yunjing's identity, he will have the convenience of being an envoy in the Dragon Kingdom. There are many things that cannot be treated as ordinary people. Even if it involves legal aspects, he cannot make unilateral decisions.
It is necessary to consider the legal factors of both parties.
These are all normal things, but Yunjing still sighs in his heart, it is indeed the Dragon Kingdom. Although Zhao Yingming is expressing the various conveniences of his status as an envoy, his words have a bit of a big brother taking care of his little brother.
There is no way, the Dragon Kingdom has this kind of magnanimity, the strongest empire in the world is not just talk, people from any other country are like little brothers in front of the Dragon Kingdom, if they don't accept it, they will only make a joke.
"Thank you. I'm new here and I'm not familiar with it. I apologize for any rudeness. But don't rush into your country's culture. We have a long way to go and there will be many opportunities in the future." Yun Jing said with a calm smile.
Nodding and not worrying about these aspects, Zhao Yingming said: "Envoy Yun has come all the way. This place is the border of our Dragon Kingdom. He also hopes to follow us to the imperial capital. There will be a grand reception there and it will also facilitate all aspects of exchanges between the two countries."
, I wonder what you think? I was supposed to cross the mountains and rivers with you to the imperial capital, so that you can appreciate the mountains and rivers of our Dragon Kingdom, but the journey is too far, and the journey will take a long time, so I have to go through the domain gate. In the future, if Yunshi is interested,
We will arrange for someone to accompany you around."
"The guest does as he pleases, it's all up to your arrangement," Yun Jing said with a smile. The visitor is a guest. There is no reason to make trouble for others as soon as they arrive. The process should be completed first, and there is no rush for the rest.
The Dragon Kingdom is so big that the cloud scenery you can see now is not even the tip of the iceberg. I will naturally plan to walk around if I have the opportunity in the future.
Zhao Yingming is very comfortable with being so knowledgeable about Yunjing. It would be a shame if he made all kinds of demands as soon as he came. There are many people in the world who use chicken feathers as arrows. They always think that you will have all kinds of requirements as envoys.
Cooperate, he has seen that kind of people a lot. Over in the capital, there are often envoys from small countries who want to meet with you, Your Majesty. They don’t even think about their identity. Are you worthy?
Smiling, Zhao Yingming said: "In that case, shall we set off now?"
"Please," Yun Dingding nodded and said without causing any trouble to the other party.
Although it was the first time he was sent to another country as an official envoy, and the situation differed from country to country, he generally understood the process. Now that his identity was confirmed, he would go to the other country's imperial capital, where he would be received, followed by settlement, and the follow-up
There will be exchanges in all aspects, including but not limited to cultural, trade and cultural aspects between the two countries.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is not just as simple as a presence to let the other side know that such a country exists. Cultural exchanges and trade are the real establishment of diplomatic relations. Yunjing's status as an envoy is just a front station at best.
This is not a matter of a day or two. If the two countries are still there, then such diplomatic relations will continue. If there is chaos in their respective countries, then the two sides will initiate all aspects of exchanges to ensure the safety and security of the citizens in their respective territories.
Safety……
Immediately, Zhao Yingming no longer hesitated. After Yunjing collected his things, he made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way out the door. Next, they had to go to the Dragon Kingdom Imperial Capital through the Domain Gate.
This process was not rushed. Zhao Yingming and Yunjing walked side by side and exchanged some information about the situation in their respective countries. They talked about some ordinary things and did not touch on sensitive topics. They only had a preliminary understanding. These are the two sides.
A good start for diplomatic relations between the two countries.
It's twenty or thirty miles from the Duhu Mansion to the Domain Gate. Since we're not in a hurry for this distance, it still takes some time to walk normally.
The road leading to the domain gate is under martial law on both sides, and there are soldiers guarding it every ten meters. Those soldiers are the people who came to cooperate with Qingjiao City, and there are even carpets along the road, giving Yunjing the envoy.
considerable respect and courtesy.
Of course, the second-class treatment is not limited to this. The main event is still in the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom. Maybe they are slowly going to the Domain Gate to give the Imperial Capital time to prepare.
On the way to the domain gate, Zhao Yingming was talking about a grand Xiaoyaoju competition that would be held before the Dragon Kingdom New Year Festival. At that time, the Dragon Kingdom emperors would appear and envoys from various countries would be invited to watch.
Yun Jing sighed again at this. When a country is as powerful as the Dragon Kingdom, spiritual entertainment has risen to the level of national concern.
Yunjing said that he must go and see it then, but he was thinking about how long it would take before the grand competition was held before the New Year Festival? He still had to go home to reunite with his family, so he hoped he could make it in time.
But at this moment, Yun Jing's eyes flashed and he subconsciously looked towards the horizon in the distance.
In that direction, he clearly felt strong aura fluctuations, and there were beings from the Myth Realm fighting. However, because it was too far away, he could only feel it vaguely. The details were not clear, and ordinary people naturally couldn't feel anything.
Seeing his eyes looking into the distance, Zhao Yingming couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's wrong with Mr. Yun?"
This was not a formal occasion. In view of Yunjing's status as a scholar, Zhao Yingming also slightly changed his address.
Yunjing retracted his gaze and muttered: "It's nothing. I feel like someone is fighting in the distance. There is quite a commotion."
He didn't laugh at this kind of thing, so as not to be suspected of taking schadenfreude.
Zhao Yingming said: "Master Yun, don't worry about it. This kind of thing is inevitable and will calm down soon." By saying this, he mainly expressed that in the Dragon Kingdom, nothing can shake the foundation, and there is no need to care about trivial matters.
, then he added: "I heard that Mr. Yun has cultivated in the Mythical Realm, and his senses are really sharp. I don't feel anything about what you said."
It would be a lie to say that he is not envious of the realm of mythology. Although the Dragon Kingdom has a lot to offer, he estimates that he is not qualified to set foot in it in this life. This kind of envy has nothing to do with the country.
"There are countless strange people in the Dragon Kingdom, and my cultivation is not worth mentioning." Yunjing shook his head and said, there is no need to be too showy about this kind of thing. Although Zhao Yingming was envious, he didn't take it seriously.
Well, maybe with his status, he might be able to command some Dragon Kingdom mythical realms at some point.
Sometimes strength is really inferior to status.
It didn't take long for Yunjing to feel the fluctuations in the battle in the Myth Realm that calmed down. He didn't pay too much attention to it and continued to go to the domain gate with Zhao Yingming and the others.
When we arrived at the edge of the square, the place under martial law was already in full swing.
At the same time, Yun Jing glanced at the direction of Prince Qingjiao's palace from the corner of his eye. He saw Bai Qinglin's figure disappearing from the palace in a flash. He was obviously injured, and the injury was serious.
Yunjing guessed that the fluctuations in the previous battle were definitely related to him.
What did King Qing Jiao do before? He was injured so seriously, half of his body was disabled. He was lucky to be able to come back alive!
Naturally, Zhao Yingming and the others did not know this. After arriving at the domain gate, under the signal from Zhao Yingming's eyes, the accompanying official Sun Xian took out a compass-like device from his arms.
Sun Xian, who was holding the device, did not shy away from Yun Jing. He immediately started operating it, and a mysterious light lit up. Yun Jing clearly felt that hundreds of domain gate nodes in Qingjiao City were once again activated and running.
Then the blue light lit up in the square, and a domain gate appeared. After stepping through the domain gate, which was like a film of water, you could probably stand in the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
It is worth mentioning that the Domain Gate that appeared again was different from when Zhao Yingming and the others came yesterday. At this time, there were six dragon-shaped coils on the frame of the Domain Gate, making it even more sacred and majestic.
In view of this, Yun Jing guessed that it was the so-called reception standard, and it also proved his previous guess that the way the domain gate existed could be adjusted and changed.
After the Domain Gate appeared, Zhao Yingming said sternly: "Envoy Yun, please cross the Domain Gate and you will find the capital of our Dragon Kingdom. This may be your first time passing through the Domain Gate. Don't think too much. Just take a step and treat it as a blur in front of your eyes."
That’s it”
Nodding, Yunjing was about to cross the domain gate with them and go to the Dragon Kingdom Imperial Capital, but at this moment, his face changed slightly and he suddenly looked in one direction and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, everyone, an uninvited guest has arrived!"
"What does Yun Shi mean by this?" Zhao Yingming immediately frowned.
To make a long story short, Yun Jing said: "There is an existence from the mythical realm that is rushing towards us, and its target is in our direction. Its aura is obviously not human, but a monster from a foreign land!"
"No, its target is the Domain Gate. It wants to take this opportunity to go to the Imperial Capital to wreak havoc. This kind of thing has happened before. Quick, we will close the Domain Gate immediately after we cross it." Zhao Yingming's expression changed.
Yun Jing frowned and said, "It's too late. The opponent is about to enter the city. At its speed, it will arrive in just a few breaths!"
"It's too late to close the domain gate. In this case, the current situation is special, so please ask Yunshi to take action." Zhao Yingming made a decision immediately. He couldn't care so much, and he didn't have time to say anything about the situation.
No matter what, foreign monsters cannot be allowed to go to the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom. Although there are countless experts in the Imperial Capital, the damage caused even in a moment is unimaginable. Monsters from the mythical realm, how many casualties can be killed and injured in a wave of hands? And a place like the Imperial Capital
, God knows what kind of background a random person may have, the consequences would be too terrible!
At the same time, Bai Qinglin's roar sounded in the distance, saying: "How brave, how dare you chase me here? Do you really think that I, the king, can do nothing to you?"
"Mr. Zhao, you are polite. Now that this kind of thing has happened, how can Yun Mou stand by and watch?" Yun Dingding nodded.
